Rep. Maxine MAYOR JAMES T. BUTTS, IPD CHIEF AND FBI ANNOUNCE Waters Urges MAJOR INGLEWOOD DRUG BUST Colleagues to Speak-out By Francis Taylor, Asst. Editor
By Francis Taylor, Asst. Editor
Congresswoman Maxine Waters, the Ranking Member of the House Financial Services Committee, and the most vocal opponent of Donald Trump honesty, integrity and lack of professional and political ethics, has doubled down on her insistence that the current president is unfit for public office and should be impeached. Her remarks followed news that the president’s campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, was found guilty by a federal jury on eight counts of bank and tax fraud, and Trump’s personal attorney, Michael Cohen, who pleaded guilty to eight violations of banking, tax and campaign finance laws, on

Inglewood Mayor James T. Butts, Inglewood Police (IPD) Chief Mark Fronterotta, and Paul D. Delacourt, Assistant Director in Charge of the Los Angeles Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), conducted a press conference yesterday in the Inglewood City Council chambers to announce that as a result of a two-year investigation, within the last 24 hours, 11 arrests of members of the 92 Osage Legend Crips
(OLC) gang have been arrested on federal narcotics-trafficking and firearms charges contained in a grand jury indictment that outlines how the defendants obtained cocaine, used a purported convenience store to convert the cocaine into crack cocaine and distributed the drugs on the streets of Inglewood and South Los Angeles. The indictment targets the leadership and key members of the OLC, a violent
street gang that allegedly manufactured and distributed crack cocaine from the Stop and Shop Market at 1041 S. Prairie. After cooking and packaging the crack at the Stop and Shop, members of the drugtrafficking conspiracy allegedly delivered drugs to customers at various locations, including the U.S. Vets office and the Social Security office in Inglewood. “Various defendants charged in this

TRUMP DOES NOT LIKE GOOGLE SEARCH RESULTS
By Francis Taylor, Asst. Editor
Donald Trump is considering new regulations on Google’s search engine to address his concern that it turns up too many stories that are critical of him, his top economic adviser, Larry Kudlow, said Tuesday. Kudlow, the director of Trump’s National Economic Council, told reporters
that the administration is “taking a look” at federal regulations for Google. He spoke after Trump, in a tweet, accused Google’s search engine of being “rigged.” The president also expressed frustration on Twitter that when Americans type “Trump News” into the search

engine, it generates mostly negative news about him while conservative media is “shut out.” Trump later elaborated on those comments while speaking in the Oval Office, saying that Google was “taking advantage” of people. He also attacked Twitter and Facebook as unfair but did not offer specifics about his concerns. “I think that Google and Twitter and Facebook, they are really treading on very, very troubled territory and they have to be careful,” Trump said. Google search results for “Trump News” shows only the viewing/reporting of Fake New Media. In other words, they

TRUMP ADVANCES FAKE NEWS:
PUERTO RICO DEATH TOLL RISES FROM 64 to 2,975 By Reuters News Service
Many have accused Donald Trump of not caring much about black and brown people while he has accused media outlets of advancing ‘fake news.’ Sadly, his republican colleagues often remain silent as he advances lies that attempt to position his administration in a favorable light. This phenomenon is clearly displayed in his statements following the hurricane that struck Puerto Rico in September last year. The official death toll has been in-
creased from 64 to 2,975, a 50-times jump that has sparked a new wave of criticism for the government response to the disaster. A new study ordered by the governor of the US territory recommended the revised toll for deaths that could be directly or indirectly attributed to Hurricane Maria and its aftermath, in a period spanning from September 2017 to mid-February of this year. Maria was the most powerful
storm to hit the Caribbean island for a century, and witnesses to the devastation said the previous official toll seemed a serious underestimate. Nonetheless, the figure was used by Donald Trump’s then acting homeland security secretary, Elaine Duke, who 12 days into the disaster described the federal response as “a really good news story” and spoke of a “limited number of deaths”. Trump said in early October 2017 that he was happy with the federal response to Maria, saying it compared favorably with a “real catastrophe like Katrina”. For comparison, deaths blamed on Hurricane Katrina in 2005 range from about 1,200 to more than 1,800, most along the Gulf Coast of Louisiana and Mississippi. Criticism of the federal response existed at the time - in a scathing reaction, San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz appeared on CNN declaring, “Damn it, this is not a good news story. This is a people-are-dying story. This is a life-ordeath story.”

TEXAS JURY FINDS EX-POLICE OFFICER
GUILTY OF MURDERING BLACK TEEN Reuters News Service
By Francis Taylor, Asst. Editor
The body of Sen. John McCain will lie in state at the Arizona State Capitol in Phoenix on Wednesday. It’s the first of four days of funeral services for McCain, who died Saturday at age 81. A memorial service will be held in Phoenix on Thursday, after which McCain’s body will be flown to Washington, D.C.
He will lie in state at the U.S. Capitol on Friday. On Saturday, there will be a procession past the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, followed by a funeral service at Washington National Cathedral. He will be buried at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland on Sunday.
A Texas jury on Tuesday found a white former policeman guilty of murder for fatally shooting a black teenager in a car moving away from him in a 2017 case in a Dallas suburb that fueled a national debate over possible racial bias in U.S. policing. The police officer, Roy Oliver, 38, was fired by the Balch Springs Police Department for violating department policy a few days after he fatally shot Jordan Edwards, 15, a standout high school student and athlete. Edwards was shot in the head. The conviction was a rare instance in which an officer was found guilty of murdering an unarmed person. Oliver faces up to life in prison; sentencing will come
later. Oliver, along with another officer, had responded to reports of underage drinking at a house party in the predominantly black and Hispanic city of Balch Springs, about 15 miles (25 km) southeast of Dallas. Oliver fired his rifle several times into a car with several other teens inside, prosecutors said. The jurors deliberated for about 12 hours over two days before reaching its verdict, following a trial that started in mid-August. First Assistant District Attorney Michael Snipes said Oliver was a triggerhappy policeman who sent the teenager to an early grave.

the same day. “A federal jury just found Donald Trump’s campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, guilty of eight counts of bank and tax fraud. Simultaneously, his personal attorney and so-called ‘fixer,’ Michael Cohen, appeared in a separate courthouse and pleaded guilty to eight charges, which include violating campaign finance laws at the direction of a ‘federal candidate’ – an unquestionable reference to Donald Trump, who is now also implicated in a federal crime, Waters said. . “However, the crimes of Trump, Cohen, and Manafort are only the tip of the iceberg. I believe there is still, clearly, much more to come related to money laundering and other crimes involving an expanding group of Trump allies with questionable connections to Russia, including not only Manafort and Cohen, but also Donald Trump’s former deputy campaign chairman, Rick Gates; Donald Trump’s former National Security Advisor, Michael Flynn; Donald Trump’s former campaign foreign policy advisors George Papadopoulos and Carter Page; and Donald Trump’s Commerce Secretary, Wilbur Ross. When investigators and prosecutors follow the money and the patterns of misconduct, I believe the crimes of Donald Trump’s top aides are going to lead right into collusion and obstruction.” “Paul Manafort’s ties to Vladimir Putin and Russia are well known. Manafort worked for years for pro-Russian inter-
ests; this work included a long business relationship with Russian billionaire and close Putin ally, Oleg Deripaska, as well as work for pro-Russia politician and former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovyc.” Waters continued. “.Furthermore, despite being deeply in debt, Manafort volunteered his services to the Trump campaign free of charge, and offered to provide briefings on the campaign to Oleg Deripaska, who we’ve also learned was owed millions of dollars by Manafort. While he was found guilty in a Virginia court, Manafort still faces a second trial in a Washington, DC federal court on charges of lying to the FBI, money laundering and failing to register as a foreign lobbyist. Waters continued description of the seriousness of the president’s close relationship with his top campaign and administration staffers is exposed in her continuing remarks. “Similarly, let’s not forget about Michael Cohen’s close relationship with Felix Sater – a Russianborn real estate developer, convicted felon, and Trump ally with ties to organized crime. Cohen and Sater worked to reach a deal to build a Trump Tower in Moscow in the midst of the presidential election, which would, in Sater’s own words, ‘get Donald elected.’ In addition, it has also been reported that a shell company created by Cohen, Essential Consultants, received $500,000 in payments from a company controlled by a Russian oligarch, Viktor Vekselberg, who was sanctioned by the U.S. government for med-
dling in the 2016 U.S. election. “Why is it that all of these aides, allies and associates of the president are connected in so many ways to Russia and Vladimir Putin, whom we know interfered in the 2016 presidential election on behalf of Donald Trump? It’s clear to me that Putin would like nothing more than for the Trump Administration to lift U.S. sanctions so that Russia can drill in the Arctic, and that Putin found in Michael Cohen, Felix Sater, Michael Flynn, and other members of Trump’s inner circle partners who were more than willing to oblige in exchange for support for Trump and the ability to compete in a new money playground in Russia. “Don’t be misled by the ridiculous lies and conspiracy theories being peddled and advanced by this president or his attorney, Rudy Giuliani. This is not a witch hunt or fake news. These are real charges of criminal behavior. These are based on real facts, real evidence, and real testimony, and in the final analysis, all of this will
lead to real articles of impeachment.” Finally, Waters admonished her colleagues who urged her to refrain from mentioning the “I” (impeachment) word in advance of the November election. “Our message and our platform is clear,” she explained, “health care, wages, full employment and other issues that define the Democratic Party. We can also walk and chew gum at the same time and it is important that we do not lose sight of the fact that this president has demonstrated over and over that he is not fit for public office and that that he should be impeached.
ANDREW GILLUM
WINS FLORIDA DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY IN BID TO BECOME STATE’S FIRST BLACK GOVERNOR Andrew Gillum pulled off an upset victory Tuesday night in Florida’s Democratic primary in a bid to become the state’s first African-American governor. Gillum, the progressive mayor of Tallahassee who had been endorsed in the race by Sen. Bernie Sanders, narrowly defeated former U.S. Rep. Gwen Graham, the Associated Press reported. Polls showed him surging late in the race, and his victory shocked most political observers in Florida who assumed it was Graham’s to lose. In part, that was because Graham is the daughter of Bob Graham, a former Florida governor and U.S. senator.
Gillum quickly set his sights on what should prove to be a difficult general election battle. “Those of us who voted for me, those who did not vote at all, those who couldn’t vote for me because they may be Republicans…” Gillum said at a victory party. “But you want to know something? I want to be their governor, too.” But for moment, progressive politicians like Sanders paused to celebrate Gillum’s accomplishment. Gillum Advances to be Florida’s 1st black governor. Associated Press Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum won the Democratic primary for Florida governor Tuesday,
pulling off an upset against better funded and better known candidates on his quest to become the state’s first black governor. Gillum will now face GOP nominee U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis in November to replace Republican Gov. Rick Scott. DeSantis sailed to victory in the Republican primary, defeating a longtime favorite of the GOP establishment with a campaign based largely around President Donald Trump. Gillum spent the least of the five major candidates in his primary race and had the smallest television presence. He relied on a grassroots campaign and the support of the furthest left in the party to beat

PARKING CITATION PROCESSING AND COLLECTION SERVICES SUBJECT OF SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING By Francis Taylor, Assistant Editor
The Inglewood City Council did not conduct a weekly public meeting on Tuesday however, Mayor James T. Butts ordered a special meeting of the City Council on Monday, August 27, 2018, to review a recommendation by the Parking and Enterprise Department, authorizing the City Attorney to draft and finalize an 11-month agreement with Professional Account Management, LLC (PAM)) (a Duncan Solution Company), to provide parking citations processing and collection services on behalf of the City. The City of Inglewood and the Inglewood Citation Management Services Program (ICMS) has used PAM for processing parking citations and collections since 2007. The purpose of having a parking program for the city is to ensure that the limited parking resources within the city are lawfully and properly used. The program also focuses on mak-
ing sure that the Inglewood Municipal Code (IMC); Motor Vehicles and Traffic/ Parking Regulations) and the California Vehicle Code are followed and enforced. Following the negotiations with PAM, the 11-month agreement terms are as follows: Duncan will be responsible for an annualized guaranteed payment to the City in the amount of $385,500 to be paid in monthly installments. Conditioned upon the County of Sacramento signing a contract extension (through at least December 31, 2019, the non-refundable credit shall increase from $385,000 to $475,000. This increase shall go into effect as of the effective date of the contract extension with the County of Sacramento.

WINS FLORIDA DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY IN BID
TRUMP AND PUTIN
Continued from page 2
STAND TOGETHER WITH DISDAIN FOR SENATOR
JOHN McCAIN Trump faced significant backlash over his response to McCain’s death. He issued a curt tweet on Sunday wishing McCain’s family well, though not mentioning anything about the late Arizona lawmaker’s lifetime of service in the military or as a federal legislator. Initially, White House flags were lowered to half-staff after McCain’s death on Saturday, but returned to full-staff early Monday. The White House was operating under a protocol of keeping the flag at half-staff for a day and a half following the death of a sitting member of Congress. Anything beyond that would require a presidential proclamation ― a relatively simple order to draft but one that Trump’s staff had prepared but the president, in his undignified fashion, refused to sign. The White House openly showcased its blatant disrespect for Senator McCain’s many decades of service and sacrifice to our country as well as the service of all his fellow veterans. As a result of enormous pressure from veteran’s organizations and a bevy of others, Trump later issued the proclamation and returned the White House flag to half staff, where it will remain until McCain’s funeral. At the same time, Russian pro-Kremlin media pulled no punches on Monday in condemning McCain, who mocked him as Washington’s “chief Russophobe”. Apparently, McCain irked Russia with his support for pro-Western leaders in ex-Soviet Georgia and Ukraine as well as his strong backing for sanctions over Moscow’s annexation of Crimea. “McCain became the chief symbol of Russophobia,” Rossiya 1 television said, adding that he “couldn’t stand Russia’s independent foreign policy”. McCain “adored war. If you haven’t been
killed yet, that’s not McCain’s fault. He tried,” wrote pro-Kremlin tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda in a biting editorial. Accusing the former Navy pilot of lying about being tortured while being held prisoner during the Vietnam War, the popular tabloid concluded with the hope that McCain is now burning in hell. “Senator McCain loved the flames of war. Let’s believe he’ll have enough flames where his soul is resting now,” it wrote. Life News, a pro-Kremlin tabloid news site, mocked the “chief Russophobe” for his decision to publish a 2013 op-ed aimed at Russians on an obscure news site called Pravda.ru. The high-rating show included the detail that McCain “was shot down in Vietnam by a Soviet SA 75-Dvina missile complex”. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko issued a message of condolences, but none was forthcoming from Russian President Vladimir Putin Though former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama are slated to give eulogies at McCain’s funeral on Sunday, Trump will not be in attendance. The Arizona senator reportedly disinvited Trump to his funeral months ago.

four other candidates, including former U.S. Rep. Gwen Graham, the daughter of popular former governor and U.S. Sen. Bob Graham. Gillum, 39, was a favorite among Democrats who call themselves progressives and earned the endorsement of former Vermont Sen. Bernie Saunders. Gillum was a 23-year-old Florida A&M student when he became the youngest person elected to the Tallahassee City Commission in 2003. He was elected mayor in 2014. Besides Graham, Gillum turned back former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine, who poured $29 million of his personal wealth into the race and saturated the state with 30 different campaign ads. Also in the race was billionaire Jeff Greene, who spent about $38 million of his own money on the race, and Orlando area businessman Chris King, who spent about $4 million of his personal wealth on the race. Gillum was the only candidate who said he’d raise corporate income taxes, and he often talked about winning a lawsuit against the National Rifle Association during his time as mayor. He often said he was the only candidate in the race who wasn’t a millionaire or billionaire. But the win also comes as the FBI
is investigating corruption at city hall. Gillum has said he is not a target in the investigation. While he didn’t make race an issue, Gillum said it during a recent interview that it would be “big” to be Florida’s first black governor. “I have been really slow to try to think on it because it’s too big,” he said. “There will absolutely be a part of this that I can’t even put words to around what it might mean for my children and other people’s kids. Especially growing up for them in the age of Donald Trump.” In the Republican primary, DeSantis beat out Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam, who had seemingly built up the run for governor his entire adult life after being elected to office as a 22-year-old. DeSantis was first elected to Congress in 2012, running as a Washington outsider. His television ads were Trump-focused, including one where his toddler stacks bricks while DeSantis exclaims, “Build the wall!” The strategy worked, and many voters say that’s what convinced them to support DeSantis. Sharon Grant said she was planning to vote for Putnam — until Trump weighed in on the race. “I changed my vote when Trump

Special counsel Robert Mueller faces a deadline Wednesday on whether to retry Paul Manafort on the 10 charges that ended in a mistrial last week after the federal jury was unable to reach a unanimous decision on them. The jury found the former Trump campaign chairman guilty on eight of the 18
counts in the financial fraud trial: five counts of submitting false tax returns, one count of failing to report foreign bank and financial accounts, and two counts of bank fraud. He faces a maximum of 80 years in prison. In addition, Manafort faces a second financial fraud trial that is set to begin in September.

HOME FOROPENERS THE BRUINS & TROJANS
SATURDAY By Steve Finley The Bruins and Trojans kick off their 2018 football seasons Saturday at home when USC plays UNLV at 1 p.m. at the Coliseum and UCLA faces Cincinnati at the Rose Bowl at 4 p.m. Both teams will have new quarterbacks and UCLA will have a new coach, Chip Kelly. The Bruins, who are coming off a disappointing 6-7 season are facing another major hurdle. Last Tuesday they suspended six players for the game against Cincinnati and some of those players are facing two and three game suspensions. Among those facing multiple game suspensions are star running back Soso Jamabo, two games and offensive lineman Boss Tagaloa, three games. The players that received one game suspensions are tight end Devin Asiasi, defensive lineman Osa Odighizuma, defensive back Mo Osling III and defensive lineman Moses Robinson-Carr. Hopefully the Bruins have enough depth to overcome their misfortune. Right now UCLA is a mystery team. Coach Kelly has kept everyone in the dark regarding his starting quarterback and some of the other key position and we may have to wait another week when they travel to Oklahoma on September 8, to see how good the 2018
Bruins are. The Trojans appear to be more stable after a 11-3 2017 season and one of the main reasons is head coach Clay Helton named last years’ high school Gatorade Player of the Year , JT Daniels the starting quarterback this week. Daniels beat out Matt Fink and Jack Sears. The Trojans return seven starters on offense and they have one of the best running backs in the Pac-12 in Stephen Carr. Carr is big, fast and powerful and he and the other USC running backs should take some pressure off of Daniels. On defense the Trojans return six starters from last year. Leading that group is inside linebacker Cameron Smith, safety Marvell Tell III, cornerback Iman Marshall and nickel back Ajene Harris.

have it RIGGED, for me & others, so that almost all stories & news is BAD. Fake CNN is prominent. Republican/Conservative & Fair Media is shut out. Illegal? 96% of... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 28, 2018 Facebook and Twitter declined to comment. Google said in a statement that its search engine is not designed with the intent of promoting a political ideology but is instead aimed at generating “high-quality content” in response to user queries.
Computer algorithms determine what search results people are shown, drawing from a large number of complex and largely secret set of signals, such as where that person is located, what that person has searched for in the past and what that person has clicked on. Google keeps those signals under wraps to keep everyone, from big brands to bad actors, from gaming the system. That does not stop people from trying. An entire cottage industry called search engine optimization helps websites get better
rankings in search results to drive more traffic. Google has been dinged for favoring its own products in search results and is contemplating launching a search engine in China that would censor results at the request of Beijing. “Search is not used to set a political agenda, and we don’t bias our results toward any political ideology,” said Riva Sciuto, a Google spokeswoman. “We never rank search results to manipulate political sentiment.”

case, some with previous felony convictions, allegedly possessed firearms in relation to their drug trafficking activities,” Director Delacourt explained. The street gang members and their associates “used violence and intimidation, including firearms, to maintain and expand their drugdealing territory, to protect themselves, their drugs, and their drug proceeds from rival gangs and drug-dealing organizations, and to collect payment from drug customers,” according to the indictment. In addition to the arrests, the task force seized 16 firearms including an as-
sault style rifle and over 100 rounds of ammunition. Four additional fugitives have also been identified and are actively being sought by the IPD and the FBI. Unrelated to the aforementioned drug bust, Mayor Butts announced to the credentialed press in attendance that while the City of Inglewood has had a very difficult week, he is proud of the good news that the police chief has to report. Chief Fronterotta announced the arrest and indictment of Daniel Martinez on charges of murder and three counts of attempted murder and possession of an ille-
gal assault weapon. This filing is for crimes committed on Monday, August 20 at 946 W. Beach and on August 23rd at Hyde Park and West Blvd., in the City of Inglewood. In closing the press briefing and in response to a question from a channel 4 news reporter, Mayor Butts said that the arrest of 11 leadership and key members of the 92 Osage Legend Crips will have a crippling affect on that gang and will send a very clear message to any additional gang members operating in the City of Inglewood.

More to follow.
CATSUIT vs. TUTU
The president of the French Tennis Federation said last week that Williams’ “Black Panther” catsuit wouldn’t be allowed back at the French Open. Following the uproar of her catsuit, Serena Williams rocked a tutu in the first round of the U.S. Open, in the midst of a controversy around outfits she’s worn on the court, and fans went wild. The tennis champion wore a custom-designed tutu by Louis Vuitton designer Virgil Abloh and Nike in her Monday match against Magda Linette. In addition to the tutu, she wore NikeCourt Flare trainers and fishnet compression tights.
TEXAS JURY FINDS EX-POLICE OFFICER
GUILTY OF MURDERING BLACK TEEN Continued from page 3
“This guy is an angry, out-of-control, walking bomb,” Snipes said in closing arguments. The arrest warrant for Oliver said he and the other officer tried to stop a car at an intersection near the party. The other officer broke a passenger window with the butt of his gun. Police body camera images showed to jurors indicated that the car was moving away from Oliver when he fired at it. Oliver’s defense attorney, Jim Lane, said the vehicle was a threat to Oliver’s partner that night and he reacted to save his partner by firing into the car.
“Roy Oliver reasonably made the decision that he had to make,” Lane said in closing arguments. Video footage shown in court showed the car was pointed away from the officers at the time of the incident, and still frames from body camera footage showed that Oliver turned his body to follow the car after it had passed by his partner and kept shooting, the Dallas Morning News reported from the courtroom. Two of Edwards’ brothers were in the car with him and watched him die, a family lawyer said.
supported DeSantis,” said the 67-year-old retiree from Pinellas County. “I also loved his commercial, the one with the kids.” Josie Parke, 68, an interior designer in Coral Gables, said Trump’s backing swayed her vote for DeSantis, too. “I believe in Trump’s policies and while I don’t love the way he opens his mouth too much, sometimes saying things that are not quite appropriate, I do believe that in his heart he really means well. He’s doing things the way I like,” Parke said. DeSantis entered the race a month after Trump’s December tweeted that he would make “a GREAT governor.” Later Trump held a rally for him in Tampa. Suddenly, he was considered the favorite over Putnam, who raised more money, campaigned longer, built support among the party establishment and ran a traditional grassroots campaign. DeSantis, who turns 40 next month, is a former Navy lawyer. He also ran for Senate in 2016 but dropped out when Republican Sen. Marco Rubio shut down his presidential campaign and decided to run for re-election. Supporters at DeSantis’ party in Orlando chanted “Ron! Ron! Ron!” when he was declared the GOP nominee Tuesday evening. “DeSantis rocks!” shouted JoAnn Walker, a homemaker from Mount Dora, Florida. “People are starting to wake up and realize what we need for America and that is people who care and who have served and that want to make a better America where we work for it and it’s not just handed to us.” Gillum and DeSantis will compete for the office held by Scott, who can’t run for re-election because of term limits and is instead challenging Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson. Scott had an easy win in Tuesday’s GOP primary, and now he heads into an increasingly bitter — and expensive — showdown with Nelson that could play a decisive role in which party controls the Senate Voters are also picking the nominees for two Cabinet positions and several congressional seats.
