Monday, May 7, 2012 – 10:00 a.m.
Out of the three hotly-contested races in San Bernardino County, the contest for Third District supervisor appears to be full battle mode.
The sign crew for Former San Manuel Band of Mission Indians Chairman James Ramos’ campaign was clearly expressing their unhappyness and frustration over the weekend.
So much for Ramos’ take the high road campaign.
The graffiti and tearing down of signs of County Supervisor Neil Derry was on full display.
Derry probable did it himself so he could smear Ramos.
“La Eme,” the Mexican Mafia alive and well in Ramos’ campaign!
Like I said, they are VERY unhappy with the publicity Ramos’ campaign has brought them!
Inland politics..Jim..Derry..Sharon.. whoever is writing this crap get over it.. Neil probably did this himself.. definitely too much time on his hands.. Im sure you have ripped down ramos signs or had people do it for you!! So pathetic!
Yeah Derry did this himself, right. Ramos thugs in a rampage of desperation. Mexican mafia in full Wong here.
Derry has no need to bother with childish High School games.
DERRY IS ABOVE IT ALL NOW, LIKE THE SONG SAYS, “YOU CAN’T TOUCH HIM!”
@Really?
FYI, I am not Jim, Derry or that other phony woman, as a matter of fact, I’m close to your boy Ramos, almost breathing down his neck, and I know what his every move will be…none, of course, thought out by him; like the blind man, Ramos just goes in whatever direction he is lead to.
THESE SIGNS ARE ANOTHER WARNING, THIS TIME VISUAL, OF THE UGLINESS THAT WILL EXPLODE IF WE WEAKEN AND ALLOW RAMOS TO PREVAIL. AS IT IS KNOWN, RAMOS WILL NOT BE THE ONE PROCLAIMING GLORY, HIS DARK BACKERS AND SUPPORTERS WILL BE THE ONE’S CREATING DESTRUCTION THROUGH RAMOS.
HA HA HA HA, Chris Jones, no one is going to hire you for another campaign after this. This whole Derry campaign has imploded on itself and become a hilarious joke.
One more thing to add,on another blog I challenged Derry’s ethnicity. In my opinion, his hair is kinky enough to warrant suspicion of miscegenation. If true and Derry is really an albino then I believe that the graffiti on the campaign signs will match Derry’s graffiti writing and his supporters should demand a test to see if a match truly does exist. Republican supporters need to know the truth about the person they are supporting.

Yes, but the joke is on Ramos and his gang-banger supporters. The Mexican Mafia remains active on the reservation….everyone knows it too.
How many campaign contributions do you think Derry has laundered this cycle?
Someone give Repairman and Red Annon. a biscuit.
Thank You, I appreciate the offer. You should keep your biscuit for Derry when he is unemployed he’ll be needing it.
It figures that filthyramos and his mexicanmafia are up to no good. Well, since the fat slob is borderline at deaths door his health wont last long and he will be roasting in the fires of hell.
Repairman wonders “how many campaign contributions” Neil Derry “has laundered this cycle?”
My answer: zero, the same as the last cycle.
OOF…..That’s too bad, Derry should have laundered something to put away for a rainy day because it will be pouring cats and dogs for him soon when he looses his job.
Looks to me like those signs are normal for anything put up in SB City …the city that’s going to balance its budget by putting in cell phone towers.
Observer of Facts:
Then why did he plead guilty?
Anyone have evidence that La Eme is STILL on San Manuel Reservation? Any tribal member who lives on a reservation pays no state income taxes and that has been the law well before casinos came up.
San Manuel has been prominent in helping charitable causes.
How long has Neil Derry been sucking on the public teat?
What is the accused perjurer’s qualification to be elected? Running a billion dollar enterprise, in an era when many businesses have failed, would be what CA needs now. The FBI is investigating other tribes, like Pechanga. Stay tuned for a KCBS story next week on Pechanga and Pala…
As was observed from the comments on my blog: Mr. Ramos’ COMPETITORS are supporting him.
Can Derry say the same?
All Native Americans don’t automatically support each other. In fact, at Pechanga, it was greed for power that led a corrupt council to strip the citizenship from their people.
Yet, even card casinos who don’t benefit from a gaming monopoly like the tribes SUPPORT Ramos.
That says a lot.
Repairman:
Neil Derry DID NOT plead guilty to laundering a campaign contribution; check your facts. If he was guilty, why did the AG dismiss the two felony charges?
Here is an article that will refresh your memory as to what really happened:
http://www.pe.com/local-news/local-news-headlines/20110719-supervisor-derry-takes-plea-deal.ece
The part where James Ramos says “the plea deal will have no impact on how he campaigns” is particularly humorous, given what has actually happened.
What is really sad is that the James Ramos camp appears to be starting to stoop to the level of the Neil Derry group. San Bernardino politics must be the “pits of the state of California”!!!!
@Original Pechanga
“Yet, even card casinos who don’t benefit from a gaming monopoly like the tribes SUPPORT Ramos.”
You, Sir, and your so called “Indian Competitors” FEAR one thing, and ONE THING ALONE…THAT THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY BEHIND THE RESERVATIONS, THAT’S RIGHT PLURAL, IS WHAT IS ENRICHING AND EXPANDING ALL YOUR EMPIRES!
Therefore, yes, all you clowns have been fighting each other in the past, NOW you fools have NO OTHER choice BUT to support Ramos.
And you can not deny the UNREST AND ANGER IN ALL THE
LOCAL “INDIAN RESERVATIONS” Ramos has caused by running for office.
Ramos has now opened up the can of “publicity” worms on the Mexican and Russian Mafias and the drug trafficking activities…which are killing our youth, infesting our local schools, neighborhoods and communities.
You and your fellow “Indians” have shamed your ancestor’s names and deteriorated our communities.
Since you are so damn proud of your money, and throw in SBC’s face how you have spread your blood money around, but you may want to keep some to invest in purchasing a million blocks of ice.
The fact of the matter is, that Derry has disgraced himself so badly, that even his supporters are surprised by his nastiness, I know this because it has been talked about all over town. To be honest I had no issues with Derry until he started attacking. Not just like regular politics, but more like a coward, or a bully. Now people are simply cheering for Derry to lose, even if they don’t support Ramos, they may just vote for the “other guy ” check Derry’s Facebook page he has so much time on his bashing Ramos and others who support him, not to mention San Manuel, who should be left out of Derry’s slander!
Attacking?? NO! Derry has been PROTECTING!!!
Slander??? NO! Derry is simply stating the TRUTH!
What Derry has been doing for many years is fighting heroically and silently for our corner of this blessed land!
James Ramos Tribal Members have been abusing, mocking and spiting at our laws and regulations at city, county and state levels.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, A COMMITTEE IS NEEDED TO FIGHT, AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL, TO DO AWAY WITH THE RESERVATIONS, WHICH ARE NOW USED TO CREATE SAFE HAVENS FOR CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES. THESE, SO CALLED, “INDIANS” HAVE THUMBED THEIR NOSES AT AMERICANS LONG ENOUGH!!!
AGAIN… THE “INDIANS” – half Samoan, half Mexican, half whatever- NEED TO DECIDE IF THEY WANT TO BE AMERICANS OR NOT. If not, they better behave and be good neighbors, because us Americans have had enough of being silent and taking their “protected” abuse and mockery of our laws long enough! If they want to pick on Derry, they picked on the wrong man.
Regarding Comment #23, can you be more specific with the “nastiness?” I have not seen any James Ramos signs defaced and vandalized like the Neil Derry signs in the above picture.
I guess I do not visit the same parts of town you do, because the talk I have heard is that James Ramos is totally unqualified to be a County Supervisor, and, if elected, he will be a puppet for Dennis Hansberger and (speaking of nastiness) Mike Ramos.
Finally, can you cite any specific element of Neil Derry’s “bashing” of James Ramos that is not true?
Observer of Facts:
The article says that he took a plea bargain that spared him jail time.
Now why is it again he took that plea bargain instead of fighting those false charges and clearing his good name and exposing all the corruption you keep talking about? It was something about him being too busy wasn’t it? Seems like that would have been good thing for a politician and a must for a marine?
Repairman, You should print out the answers TO YOUR SAME OLD QUESTIONS!!
Why anyone would take the time to humor you by answering YOUR SAME questions day after day is beyond me! You’re getting to be a bore.
Derry is of course the only qualified man running for the office. Ramos is a stupid ignoramus…nothing more than a unwitting tool of the Hansberger forces which includes the vile Redlands so called republicans. Derry on the other hand, and unlike fatslob ramos casino boss, PAYS HIS TAXES, IS COMPETENT< HAS A BRAIN, IS INTELLIGENT and has proven he is no tool. RAmos the stupid so called Indian (why are these indians mexicans, anyway?) is dumb, barely literate, inarticulate and basically clueless. He hasnt even figured out that the perverty hansbergers are only playing him. What a dolt!!
Amazing. Some people on this blog are completely paid for casino tools. They, and their Hansberger supporters have fully abandoned their so-called Republican principles to support a completely unqualified fool who can’t answer a simple question. It is really sad. James Ramos got dragged into the whole Dennis Hansberger revenge thing, along with corrupt DA Mike Ramos, in an effort to take Derry down. It isn’t working. Voters are smarter in the 3rd District than the are in the 5th.
Voters will not elect a pigman.
Anonymous:
It’s because you can’t answer the question with out making Derry look like the crook he is.
“Repairman” continues to make the same argument ad nauseam: Neil Derry is a crook.
When asked to explain why James Ramos would be a better supervisor than Neil Derry, the response was that he was not Neil Derry.
This philosophy seems to epitomize the entire James Ramos campaign strategy: I’m not qualified, but my opponent is a crook.
This was probably part of Mike Ramos plan when he went after Mr. Derry with his selective prosecution.
OOF….Repairman makes the same argument ad nauseam because you continue to promote corruption ad nauseam.
comment#23……I have met many FORMER Derry supporters that have said the same. They are completely disheartened over his campaign tactics and are not going to vote. It is sad to say, but if Derry didn’t campaign at all he would have had a better chance of winning. This grand wizard klansman approach has caused many would be supporters to go into hiding.
Comment#24……HA HA HA HA. Vile racism is just oozing out of your poors. The funny thing is that no one cared when the Indians were poor. They were given the opportunity to build themselves up and they took it and were successful with it. Now, instead of being happy for them, you can’t handle seeing their success. You are shaking and jerking about in front of your computer screen and your blood pressure has shot through the roof. What ever benefits and advantages they have, they did not take, but were given by voters. Don’t be mad at the Indians, be mad at your fellow voters.
BTW, your corner of this blessed land? Please expand on that so that I know you are not referring to a “white” corner of this blessed land.
LSW….Actually, I think you have a vision of mass confusion. Your comment is like looking into a carnival mirror.
Anonymous:
What is the basis for your “grand wizard klansman” analogy in comment #33?
I have ready Neil Derry’s most recent flyer, titled “republican voter guide,” and there is absolutely nothing in it that could be construed as racist, unless you feel that the opposition of benefits to illegal immigrants is a racist approach.
Other than to roll out some over the top hyperbole, what is the basis for this analogy?
Observer of Facts:
What are Derry’s qualifications? A judge recently said he wasn’t a businessman so what is he other than a politician fighting to keep his $300,000.00 a year job?
That’s a good analogy, San Bernardino County politics is like looking into a carnival mirror, especially if your candidate is one of the clowns lined-up in favor of the status quo.
Which side of corruption are you really taking Anon, are U for more corruption in San Berdoo doo County, or are U for some real reform, like Derry’s Sunshine ordinance and taking away the County paid $20K/yr. stipend to judges?
Don’t answer, we know you prefer retaliation and racial slander to the truth.
“BTW, your corner of this blessed land? Please expand on that so that I know you are not referring to a “white” corner of this blessed land.”
Cut the “racist” crap out, we are talking FACTS, not color of skin fool!
Our “corner” is San Bernardino County.
The opportunities you speak of HAVE ALWAYS BEEN, AND STILL ARE THERE.
The Reservation Leaders, like Ramos, chose to be involved in criminal activities and exploitation of the desperate underclass.
Let us never forget Mr. John Cone, at the cost of his life a festering and ugly reality infecting our families and communities has been exposed- THIS IS NOT “Vile racism is just oozing” out of my pours.
IT IS CONCERN FOR SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES!
SOMETHING THE RESERVATIONS AND THE INDIAN LACK–BECAUSE THEY DO NOT CONSIDER THEMSELVES A PART OF US, THEY HATE AND RESENT THE UNITED STATES…WE WILL NOT TOLERATE THEIR DISRESPECT ANY LONGER!!
In comment #39, “Repairman” wonders “what are Derry’s qualifications.”
How about his experience as a City Councilman? How about his experience as a County Supervisor, the same position he is seeking? By comparison, what are James Ramos qualifications?
I would sure like for somebody to make a rational comment explaining why James Ramos is more qualified than Neil Derry. I’m not holding my breath.
Also, it’s interesting that “Repairman” brought up the lawsuit attacking Neil Derry’s background as a businessman. It was funded by the James Ramos campaign. This is the same James Ramos who said in the link in comment #20 that Mr. Derry’s background “will have no impact on how he campaigns, saying he plans to concentrate on issues such as jobs.”
An MBA in business certainly puts Mr. Ramos head and shoulders above Mr. Derry. Renting out a piece of property doesn’t take much talent or education. Running small businesses takes a responsible person who knows how meet business standards required by the city/county where the business is located, keep accurate records and a clean, legal working environment.
I too am a conservative Republican who remembers the ugly campaign when Mr. Derry defeated Mr. Hansberger. In 2004 Mr. Derry was my city councilman when I ran a small business in San Bernardino and was totally unresponsive to telephone calls or providing information or help in working with various city departments. We did not have enough money to impress Mr. Derry.
Mr. Ramos serves on the Community College Board and the State Board of Education where it takes some intelligence to serve. His character and generosity to this county and its communities is much longer than any list of accomplishments by Mr. Derry. That is why so many Republicans are supporting him and proud to vote for him.
THAT “MBA in business” was BOUGHT!!!!! As was any involvement in our community!!
Derry should NOT be toyed with!
Anonymous #43:
Thanks for an intelligent comment!
This is the type of comment that I would like to read more of, with less comments referring to James Ramos as a “fat slob” or comparing Neil Derry to a “Grand Wizard” in the Klan.
As to your comment, I do not agree with all of it, and feel that James Ramos relationship with Mike Ramos is a huge negative. His no show at a candidate’s forum in order to attend a function honoring Mike Ramos was a very poor move, in my opinion.
While an MBA is certainly an accomplishment, I have seen and worked with many MBA’s who are far less adept at navigating through the real world than those with practical experience. The lack of knowledge of the issues that Mr. Ramos has exhibited in his personal appearances underscores that fact.
Also, I have talked to someone who observed Mr. Ramos in action on the Community College Board, and he notes that Mr. Ramos voted to pay himself for meetings that he did not attend. Not too much “intelligence” exhibited there.
Finally, I just cannot get around the fact that, if elected, James Ramos will be able to make laws that he will not have to follow himself.
Derry is being toyed with !! Obviously it’s been amusing seeing his character demonize itself. He calls himself anon, it’s so obvious it’s you Derry !!!
OOF…..As to Derry being a grand wizard, There are many comments that have a racial touch about them. It is obvious that Derry knows what is being said on this blog because much of the verbiage here ends up on his flyers. For him to not disassociate himself from such talk shows his agreement to it. Instead of taking the high road and uniting a broken district, he is causing division that will not easily heal. As to illegals and the costs incurred because of them, I am not a supporter of them, but you and I both know that they are not going anywhere. In fact, it’s safe to conclude that some of the business owners blogging here contribute to their presence whether they know it or not. Heck, you live in Arrowhead, last time I visited there were Mexicans everywhere and they weren’t there for the skiing.
Comment#41……Why would the Indians hate and resent the United States? Why would the Indians have cause to disrespect you? Think about that for a while. Let it resonate.
No, “anon” is not Derry.
However, Derry’s silence should cause all of Ramos’ supporters chills.
Derry is more of a man of action, being he is in a position to do just that; he is not one to engage in a war of words with fools-but somebody has to do the dirty work- so here I am.
I’m trembling. I hope your in the action of filling out applications !!

You are undoubtedly the best one to send to a war of fools.
Sorry I meant anon. 50
Anonymous:
Regarding comment #48, your suggestion that Neil Derry ratifies what is being said on this blog because he does not “disassociate” himself from the comments made on it is preposterous. Under that theory, James Ramos is admitting that he is a “fat slob” (comment #13) and “stupid ignoramus”(comment #28) by not disassociating himself from those comments.
For the record, I have no issue whatsoever with Mexicans. My issue is with illegal immigrants, and I don’t care if they are Mexican, Japanese, or Norwegian. If they are illegal, they don’t belong here. If they took the steps to come here legally, welcome!
Finally, there is no skiing in Lake Arrowhead. The closest ski area is Snow Valley, east of Running Springs. The others are in Big Bear. I wonder if James Ramos knows that; he didn’t know that CalTrans was responsible for the reconstruction of Highway 330.
Ramos truly is the most ignorant fool to run for office in some time. He would be laughed off the public stage were it not for being a rich (unearned at that) “Indian”.
Anon you sound like a sad jealous person to me. How do you know that the San Manuel’s have not earned what they have? The tribe is giving, and are always helping people in need. Yeah there has been some trouble with some members, but that goes with every family and thats what the tribe is family, and those problems have been dealt with. I am proud of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians. I remember when they had very little, then saw them build the bingo hall, then the casino, and through it all they are still very humble people. If James Ramos doesn’t win; Oh well,thats not the issue. The fact of the matter is, Is that its Possible!
They haven’t earned crap!!!! That is why they have huge alcoholism and drug problems on the reservation. It got much worse when they got millions….
Whar? is correct…one million was NOT enough, then 2 million was Not enough, then 3 million was NOT enough…so the drug trafficking was their way to get MORE MORE and MORE millions!
These are NOT the kind of neighbors Americans want!
57:Jealous? I think not. Stealing money from welfare and poor people hardly qualifies as having “earned” their money. They are a gambling racket, unregulated by the state.
As for them being generous, they make small tiny calculated gifts to reap PR benefits and get votes from small town politicos who dont have the brains to reject their racketeering..like Highland for example. People who live around the san manuels hate them. The filth, noise , bad living conditions they bring.
So spare us your consultant crap. The county would certainly be better off if the socalled indians lived elsewhere with their tolerance for alcoholism, crime, drugs and stealing.
Well, get over it, the San Manuel’s aren’t going anywhere! their people have been here for hundreds, if not thousands of years. There is drug and Alcohol problems everywhere, and there is also recovery, which is also taking place on Reservations!
These Derry “haters” are pathetic and I was a Neil Derry supporter until I got to this page.
What Marcus “hates” is the truth Derry sheds light on, so thank you for leaving our camp; individuals like you only get in our way of making San Bernardino County a better place.
Anonymous 65:
I believe your right, the more Derry supporters see the light and abandon him, the better San Bernardino County will be.
Very cute, good to see Repairman has a sense of humor, that’s a good sign that your mind is not in total Disrepair, and gives us hope Ramos’ supporters are more like the rest of us looking for a better future for SBC.
——–>>>>> Yipper, your so proud you attached your name to all your postings. PRICELESS!!! Thank you.
your welcome, Im glad you like my name!!—->>>>
Well it is sad to watch the hate that spews from the mouths of NEIL DERRY, ANONYMOUS, and WHAT!!! The latest flyer that we received from NEIL DERRY shows what a __________ he is. To talk about James Ramos as being corrupt when Neil Derry took a plea deal with an organization he influences is rather absurd. To discuss that James Ramos is not contributing to the tax base when Native Americans are EXEMPT by law is even more humorous.
Since there is no commonality between DERRY, ANONYMOUS, and WHAT except hate, toxins, and venum, we might as well tell a joke or two because any kind of a reasonable discussion with the above three is fruitless.
What do you get when you cross Neil Derry with hot air? The answer is dareaire. You see Derry + hot air = dareaire.
You can always look at another comment under inlandpolitics about Neil Derry where we talk about a hypothetical TEN REASONS NOT TO VOTE for NEIL DERRY by a late night host.
I knew that Derry, ANONYMOUS, and WHAT would like that joke, so I have another for them.
What is the difference between Derry and Dairy? Derry is 80% fat (based on the salary increase he gave himself in 2008 when he was elected and slowley rescinded FOUR years later) and dairy in milk is only 3.25% fat!!
Just hang around, Manny, Moe, and Neil, I will have some more jokes for you. STAY TUNED!!!
Marcus:
Your focus on the selective prosecution of Neil Derry and attempts at humor fail to offset one important thing: James Ramos is not qualified to be a County Supervisor. Please review his appearance at the candidate’s forum in Big Bear where he was seemingly unable to answer simple questions without looking at notes, and had a limited to non- existent grasp of current county issues.
As to the fact that he is “EXEMPT” by law from paying certain taxes, most people I talk to do not have a problem with that. Our problem is that, if elected, he will be in a position to pass laws that he himself will be “EXEMPT” from. Does that seem fair or reasonable to you?
Observer of Facts:
Derry just ignores the laws that get in his way.
Repairman:
Please refresh my memory:
Why did the Attorney General dismiss the Felony charges against Neil Derry?
Marcus, Derry can’t give himself a raise you moron. It was set by idiots like you who voted FOR measure P thinking it was a term limits measure. Besides, Derry worked for SCE before he was elected. Which is ten times the private sector business experience of Ramos with his two dive restaurants.
If Neil Derry really wanted to take this race into the gutter, he could attack James Ramos for owning a restaurant with a goofy name like “Yum Yum.”
In the news….you forgot to mention the multi million dollar casino Ramos runs.
Marcus,
Manny, Moe, and Neil, have more brains in their one pinky put together than
Larry, Moe, and Ramos’ whole brains combined.
Alright, enough of the jokes, but in response to OoF, the name is “Yum Yum” because it has three letters, and Ramos just has to remember to repeat the name.
Ramos can put “sounds” together, but not whole words.
Observer of Facts:
Why is it again that he took a plea bargain that spared him jail time Instead of clearing his good name and exposing all this corruption you keep talking about but have done absolutely nothing about? Why wouldn’t a former marine and politician care about fighting false charges? Because he was glad to be let off so easily? Figuring it would be easier to do damage control from the outside than the inside?
Repairman:
Neil Derry DID fight the “false charges.”
That “fighting” is what gave rise to the meeting with Judge Dest where the felony charges were dismissed. Do you believe for one second that the felony charges would have been dismissed if Mr. Derry did not fight back?
As Mr. Derry has stated, his motivation was to get back to work rather than spend his time fighting.
I think that it is preferable to have a County Supervisor focused on serving his constituents instead of fighting a politically motivated prosecution funded by unlimited taxpayer money. Do you agree?
As far as Mr. Derry being “spared” from “jail time,” that claim is totally hypothetical. Just as hypothetically, the Attorney General and District Attorney were “spared” from a conviction for malicious prosecution.
As to “exposing all this corruption,” I think that Mr. Derry has done a good job of it.
Any objective analysis of this prosecution will clearly establish that it was selective and politically motivated, just as Mr. Derry said from day one.
The latest flyer from Neil Derry is nothing but political “garbage” regarding James Ramos alleged wrongdoings (he hasn’t been before an Attorney General) and how he steals from the country by not paying property taxes/taxes.
Again Derry and his “associates” don’t seem to realize that the Native Americans received LEGAL concessions from our governments but they don’t seem to gripe about revenue generated by San Manual. Derry suggests that Ramos is “stealing” from the people of San Bernardino. I will call this another of those DERRYISMS.
In a hypothetical scenerio, David Letterman had 10 of Neil Derry’s famous DERRYISMS:
#10 Neil Derry stole over $2250 from SB County for
cell phone use in 2011.
#9 Mr. Derry abscounded over $30,000 from the County
for Retirement General in 2011.
#8 Neil illegally took over $2250 for Medicare payments
by San Bernardino County.
#7 Derry took over $1500 for 457b benefits from the
County in 2011.
#6 Derry & Co. pilfered over $7500 for a 401a from SB
County in 2011.
#5 Mr. Derry showed up to less than 50% of all
meetings in the country chambers and was
represented by a administrative CEO; he owes
the country over $75,000
#4 Neil accepted over $12,000 in illegal money from
San Bernardino County for a 401k in 2011.
#3 “Supervisor” Derry stole over $6,500 in health
insurance from the county in 2011
#2 Neil abscounded over $5,750 in Flesible Benfits
from San Bernardino County in 2011.
#1 Neil “baby” illegally pocketed $150,000+ in base
salary in 2011 for impersonating a supervisor.
AFTER ALL MR. RAMOS is called a “thief” because he doesn’t pay
taxes for which their is exemption. Then why should Mr. Derry receive
these benefits to which he is “entitled” (ALL ABOVE STATISTICS TAKEN
FROM GRAND JURY REPORT in SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY in 2011)
Marcus
You’ve gotten too silly with your twists.
And tell us, WHY IS RAMOS HIDING FROM THE VOTERS THAT HE IS, AS OF THREE WEEKS, “FORMER” CHIEF OF THE RESERVATION? Why is his heritage and nation such a negative? Because it is harmful and dangerous to all Americans in the Third District to have a man pass laws and regulations that HE and HIS Reservation DO NOT HAVE TO FOLLOW!
HE CALLS HIMSELF “SMALL BUSINESS OWNER” OF TWO “FRONT” AND FAILING RESTAURANTS, OF WHICH HE HAS HIDDEN ALL FINANCIAL INFORMATION…BECAUSE UNLIKE US CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES, RAMOS DOES NOT HAVE TO ABIDE BY OUR LAWS.
Observer of Facts:
I believe that had he fought he would have been convicted of those felonies so did derry, that is why he plea bargained.
That’s a vary impressive list Marcus has from the grand jury, but I suppose all that is a lie as well.
Politics:
Regarding Comment # 90, if “fighting means winning,” I guess that the Attorney General decided not to fight.
As I interpret your comment, you would have rather seen Neil Derry spend his time in the courtroom fighting these charges instead of doing his job. Not me.
I recognize that many people look down on Mr. Derry due to this event. That’s precisely what Mike Ramos intended.
Others view it differently. Some believe that a selective attack by Mike Ramos means that you must be doing something good.
Repairman:
I disagree with comment #93.
I believe that Judge Dest saw the motivation for this prosecution, and told the Attorney General that there was no possible way Mr. Derry’s actions warranted a conviction on any felony charges.
If what Mr. Derry was accused of was true, many precedents established that a fine was appropriate, not felony charges.
Mike Ramos himself was guilty of a far worse violation, and received a fine.
ANONYMOUS, the ONE thing that separates my twists from your negative attacks is THE TRUTH!!!!!
I started out as a DERRY fan and now it is obvious with the “DERRYISMS”, the truth is that JAMES RAMOS is the best representative for this supervisorial position.
Neil has had this job since 2008 and can’t simply talk about his accomplishments and what he hopes to continue to achieve for the people of San Bernardino. Instead, he and his “internet” groupies have to attack Native Americans and their earned benefits.
All have fallen short of the glory of God . . . even Neil Derry!!!
Marcus:
Based on comment #97, it sounds as though you have not read the Neil Derry mailer titled “Republican Voter Guide.” It references a number of Mr. Derry’s “accomplishments,” such as the “Sunshine Law” he authored, and what he “hopes to continue to achieve,” such as the elimination of “government benefits for those who are in this country illegally.”
He is also the only Supervisor with the backbone to stand up to Mike Ramos, and you have seen the resultant retaliation.
Your claim that his “groupies” are attacking Native Americans is a mischaracterization of the facts and an attempt to bring racism into the equation, and your claim that James Ramos is the “best representative for this supervisorial position” completely ignores what became clear at the candidates forum in Big Bear. I recommend that you watch the video of that forum.
No YOU and RAMOS have fallen “short of the Glory of God!”
James Ramos has been allowing the Mexican and Russian mafias to run their drug trafficking empire from within the Reservation, and with the “mafia,” murders and many horrifying crimes come with it…and James Ramos profits by the millions from these mafia organizations. Look how it all spills out to our schools and communities, just recently in Redlands about a dozen mexican mafia black heroin dealers were caught AFTER MANY YOUNG STUDENTS WERE KILLED BY THE DRUG! RAMOS KNOWS, BUT IT’S ALL PROFITS FOR HIM.
YOU may NOT like to hear THE TRUTH about how Ramos and his Native Indian, so called “American” Indians, are abusing, disrespecting AND MAKING A MOCKERY of the laws and regulations we “true and loyal” Americans must follow!!!
You started out as a Derry fan YOU SAY? …bull crap…you are a paid Ramos blogger, YOU call my TRUTHS “negative,” that alone gives YOU away as a non-thinker, only ONE WAY attacker!!!
YOU, MARCUS, or rather “D.Marquez” have fallen from the “Glory of God for supporting a man who knowingly supports, AS YOU ONCE DID YOURSELF, the Mexican and Russian mafias, their rapes, murders, and horrifying criminal activity.
AND, don’t tell Derry what he needs to talk about!
You don’t like him pointing out and shedding light on very important issues…then don’t listen (see no evil hear no evil) But he can talk about his accomplishments AND about the dangers of electing Ramos and his past history of mocking our laws and the criminals he protects in his Reservation whenever he wants!!!
Anonymous:
Derry’s the only one of the two of them that’s had to surrender to authorities before he was arrested for mocking, ignoring, and breaking the law.
I look at your comments and I can see the desperation in your words.
In comment #100, “Repairman” is admitting that Neil Derry was never arrested.
Progress is being made.
No Mr. Repairman, you can no longer sprinkle your magic dust on our faces in order to see things your warped way. Actually, I don’t think you’re warped, you know the facts about Derry, but you are a man bought out by Ramos’ camp to bore us with your broken record about Derry’s arrest…
How much do you get paid for every time you repeat those words? Are they that exciting for you to see on your screen? Or do they turn Ramos on, and give him a false hope of winning?
No desperation in my voice…only A STRONG DISTASTE (OR HATE) for criminal protecting people like James Ramos and D. Marquez, aka, Marcus, because it spills to our children, schools, neighborhoods and communities we love and want to protect; are your concerns for your family and community so different.
Derry did not mock our laws or do anything you stated, I will not respond to your twisting of my words about Ramos.
Observer of Facts:
Your right he surrendered before he was arrested much much better. Just like being innocent.
Anonymous:
That’s because you can’t respond with anything but fear mongering, hate,
and scare tactics about the boogeyman.
By the way, one more time, I have never met Ramos I don’t work for him, he has never promised me anything. But I have thought about contacting him to volunteer. It could be a lot of fun I could spend even more time writing about Derry and all his qualifications (like knowing when to plead guilty to avoid jail time) through mailers or newspaper editorials it could be great.
Observer of Facts:
Your right he had the choice, surrender or be arrested.
Just like he had the choice, take the plea bargain or go to jail.
About all the charges being dropped, you’ve said all along how corrupt the judicial system is here in SBC from the DA on down . Maybe the FBI will have better results. Or do you believe them to be as corrupt as you say the District Attorney is?
Observer of Facts:
And the fun I could have with “the most appalling corruption case in decades, certainly in the history of San Bernardino County and maybe California itself.”
I am just waiting for some news of the arrests by federal agents.
At that point you can bet I’ll be all over it having a lot of fun.
Oh, “Observer of the Fact”, we will let the ULTIMATE JUDGE determine just who is guilty of racism. I have not attacked Mr. Neil Derry nor belittled his accomplishments. I simply defend the EXTREME NEGATIVISM and toxic words directed at Mr. James Ramos and earned monetary credits given NATIVE AMERICANS.
There are very few people who have the toxicity level shown by the flyers of NEIL DERRY or the words spewed from the mouths of Derry “supporters”.
If Marcus, aka, Marquez is referring to my “toxic” words…I say, they are “toxic to HIM because they reveal the truth and the DARK SIDE OF THE RESERVATION, and the SO CALLED “AMERICAN” OR “NATIVE” INDIANS…they disrespect our laws, and openly mock, and thumb their noses at the United States…exposing THAT TRUTH is NOT racism, so stop the crying and whining and throwing that word around!
I don’t know who this Marquez person is but the Derry camp is guilty of impersonaniting a quality campaign. We only defend a decent man, who like Mr. Derry is “with fault”.
Just like in most of your sinister remarks, you are wrong again. Marcus is NOT D. Marquez. I would like to meet him though. If you, Mr. Derry, and his toxic supporters don’t like him, he is worth meeting . . . . .
D. Marques is another liar, and so called “native Indian” who has thumbed his nose and mocked our laws and regulations while he was “Chief” of San Manuel, oh yeah, and he’s an arrogant buffoon just like Ramos.
James Ramos cannot be described as a a man “without fault” for his “faults” are not “faults” but rather fully considered and thought out decisions to protect and give a safe-haven to the Mexican and Russian Mafias in order for them to safely conduct their drug trafficking and other sinister criminal activity directed towards our communities neighborhoods and schools—this, my dear “Marcus”, Ramos profits from… so it is not a “fault” on Ramos part, …IT IS DOWN RIGHT EVIL!
Repairman:
With respect to comment #108, I will wait anxiously to see if you will be having any “fun” due to any “arrests by federal agents.”
In the meantime, I am observing with great interest the prosecution of “the most appalling corruption case in decades, certainly in the history of San Bernardino County and maybe California itself.” As a taxpayer who is helping to fund this outrageous waste of money, I cannot say that it has been “fun.”
Has there ever been a case “in the history of San Bernardino County” or even “California itself” where $10 Million bail was reduced to $0?
ANONOYMOUS, maybe “we” can work together on improving San Bernardino without the venum. Mr. Neil Derry receives more than $60,000 a year in retirement. I am not attempting to “call out” Mr. Derry on this but ALL OF THE SUPERVISORS.
This is a ridiciulous amount when the average worker at $50,000 only has $4,000 “given” to him by his employer.
LET’S BE HONEST, this is not a Republican or Democratic issue. It is GREED on the local level at the expense of a “blinded” electorate.
It is time that all parties unite and remove and reduce some of these monetary inequities!!!
Marcus, you have a deal!
No more “venum”
You right, you are NOT D. Marquez.
Hey Marcus, Do you want to see real desperation? Go to the IE politics blog and you can watch Neil Derry sing a Kareoke version of LUCK BE A LADY TONIGHT standing in front of a SAN MANUEL BAND OF MISSION INDIANS banner. There seems to be no crown except for a man and his wife dancing. That may be Observer of facts.
Derry, the casino may be opening a lounge soon. There may be employment there for you.
Go to IEpol? What on earth for????
Oh, you mean for a laugh? ok.

With respect to Comment #120: No, that wasn’t me.
The only time I have seen Neil Derry sing was at the UCLA conference Center in Lake Arrowhead a couple of years ago. It was somewhat entertaining, but I would have rather seen him answer more questions.
I sure hope Mike Ramos doesn’t see this video; he will have his investigators working overtime to twist it into some type of violation.
“…some type of violation”?
you mean like Soliciting?
Sorry bad joke.
Your comment #119 certainly brings out the sensational phrases, including:
1) “Corrupt congressmen.”
2) Developers with an “arrogant sense of entitlement.”
3) “Developer welfare.”
4) “Campaign fraud.”
5) “Political figures under criminal indictment.”
You have made you position on developers very clear. I bet that you despise them all, except the one who developed and built the structure you live in.
“You have made you position on developers very clear. I bet that you despise them all, except the one who developed and built the structure you live in.”
AND “except” the one’s OVER building within the Reservation.
Anon#126….Are you a parrot standing on the shoulder of OOF.?
Observer of Facts:
I’m sure it was all vary innocent, we’ll see.
Repairman:
You clearly know far more about the operating costs of a private jet than I do.
Perhaps this will be the “smoking gun” that turns the entire case in the prosecutions favor.
I’m skeptical though, as it would seem like it should have been at least mentioned as an issue when it occurred in 2006 if it’s going to be asserted as an issue in 2012.
Well, Derry is again singled out by the Mexican mafia gangs.
Drove by Waterman and 2nd. Of all the Miller, Dutton, Ramos, etc.. signs ONLY the Neil Derry sign has graffiti!!

@Freedom,

It’s called FREEDUMB OF SPEACH, u should plead the 5th and give us all a break u bigot!
Talking about playing the race card… that’s the only card that FREEDUMB knows.
Don’t forget who is really pulling all the strings here, a corrupt DA working for the Devil that shares the Ramos Bro. name, who knows, maybe DA Mikey is even considered an honorary San Manuel Indian (secret ceremony?)
LSW is still waiting for his 40 acres and a mule (good luck with that, huh bro, we got the rez!)
Derry is fighting corruption, and being retaliated and discriminated against by the very same SHYSTEM (Shysters running the system) that FREEDUMB advocates in order to perpetuate the status quo of corruption in San Berdoo doo County, aye hesse?
I support whichever candidate stands up to the out of control public employee unions.
That must be Derry then, because at least SBPEA is backing the Ramos Bros. (James, Mikey and Dennis the Hansburgerler, an honorary San Manuel Indian too, I’m sure).
Freedom….Regarding comment#138, I think you hit a sore nerve with Anon#139 HA HA HA HA HA. When all they can do is gripe about your writing, then you know you’ve struck a nerve.

#147 keep up your heat on the Derry Corruption Wagon I can sense you are saving some of these Corrupt Wagon Derry blind supporters. Except LS”Dumber-Wonder” has hardened heart condition and is riding Derry’s Corruption Wagon, wake up LSDW the soft cushion under your buttock’s LSDW is Derry’ political Bullshit! LSDW do your self a favor Vote For Ramos, and set your heart free!
Derry needs to stop being a hypocrite. He wants to be tough on people with crime, but he himself is a victim of the system. Derry wants to be tough on gangs, but the County of San Bernardino and their pension system is the biggest gang around.
OK VIP Josie, we get it, you don’t like Neil Derry (never have, never will!)
Hows the Obamanation organization goin’?
Can’t get any support from the DemoRatic Party, but at least the Ramos Bros still love ya!
That is true, only now he is a desperate crook that will soon be unemployed.
Jerry Gahan:
If Neil Derry was guilty of “felony corruption” and belonged “in prison,” why did the Attorney General dismiss the charges?
You are exhibiting the mentality of the demographic group Mike Ramos hoped to influence when he launched the selective prosecution.
Observer of Facts:
If the Attorney General dismissed the charges, why did derry plead guilty?
Only in SB #68:
That is a nice little fantasy, now tell us why he pleaded guilty.
Only in SB:
Why didn’t fight to clear his name and clean up the corruption in SBC?
Answer: He was lucky not to go to jail.
Repairman:
I guess Mike Ramos and his wife were also lucky “not to go to jail.”
Derry PLEAD to failing to report a contribution. He was charged with MONEY LAUNDERING. That’s the difference Only in SB
Anonymous #173:
Neil Derry cooperated with investigators and disclosed the facts surrounding the fully reported $5,000 campaign contribution. He did not feel that he did anything wrong, and said that he would amend the report as necessary if there was any mistake made.
What is “arrogant” about that?
Comment #172 says it all pretty well. You and “Repairman” can continue to believe what you want to believe, but to me the Attorney General’s decision to dismiss the felony charges speaks volumes.
Anon#178….It was arrogant because he assumed he could get away with just amending his report and paying a fine. However, it could be argued all day long that everyone does it and therefor he should get a pass, but the reality is that he broke a very basic rule. This is campaign 101 and if you get caught, no assumptions should be made, just ask Rex. You know what they say happens when someone ASSumes?
At 177: Go look at it. There was NEVER a money laundering charge. Look it up moron.
At 173, Derry never did that. He never admitted to anything. And you and the DA investigator should stop lying about it. This was completely manufactured, and everyone in the DA’s office knows it.
http://www.sbsun.com/ci_17936929?IADID=Search-www.sbsun.com-www.sbsun.com
Only in SB…….Above is a link to an article outlining the original charges and circumstances surrounding Derry. You’ll notice that when being questioned by investigators he spilled the beans on himself.
Only in SB:
He pleaded GUILTY . Now let me repeat this real slow so you can understand, HE PLEADED GUILTY!
He’s still on probation!
You say everybody in the DA’s office is corrupt? It’s all a big conspiracy to get derry?
Now get with the program, and open your eyes! He pleaded guilty!
Hey Red Annon. the derry campaign must be running out of cash if
Only In SB is the best they can afford . what do you think?
Warms my heart and makes me laugh.
Observer of Facts:
It’s just a big conspiracy from the Governor on down to get derry.
Observer of Facts:
To be honest with you I think there is a point to repeating that he pleaded guilty to avoid felony charges.
I’m tired of someone always bring up what other people do as a way of showing that what derry did was not so bad.
That is like saying Manson wasn’t that bad compared to Hitler.
Repairman is a scum and should be banned as the propaganda queen that he is.
Derry is an idiot not only because he makes stupid mistakes but because he listens to other idiots.
First off it is illegal to tell a contributor who does not want to be disclosed to donate to a PAC. That is plain and simple coordination which is illegal.
He had no choice but to admit it since there was enough evidence to throw is sorry butt in jail. Most don’t fall for the BS that he wanted to put it behind him to get back to work. What work does he do. Most in the know see him spening most of his time on his phone, comes late to meetings, leaves early, and is on FB most of the time. Voters don’t buy it and gave him a whopping 32%.
Now he actually thinks he can win. What a dope.
Get Real….Derry knows he won’t win, he is like Hitler in his Berlin bunker in the final months of ww2. Commanding troops that no longer exist and telling the last of his followers that they were winning. Ignorance is bliss.
Anonymous #90:
Truth too much for you?
Get Real:
Regarding Comment #191 and your eloquent contention that Neil Derry is an “idiot” and a “dope:”
Neil Derry knew that Cal Trans was responsible for the reconstruction of Highway 330; James Ramos did not.
I also suspect that Neil Derry knows the difference between “jail” and prison, and when to use a question mark at the end of a sentence.
Finally, can you cite the California Civil Code Section that makes it “illegal” to “tell a contributor who does not want to be disclosed to donate to a PAC?”
Also, if you check the facts, you will see that Mr. Derry informed Mr. Stubblefied that this particulate PAC “might” be supporting his campaign.

Have fun!
Regarding Comment #195, if cooperating with DA Investigators and telling the truth is being “clumsy,” then I guess I support a “clumsy” County Supervisor.
To me, being “clumsy” is not being able to speak at a campaign fundraiser without notes, nailing campaign signs to trees, or making comments that confirm that you have no idea who maintains a major transportation corridor in the district you are attempting to represent.
Observer of Facts:
You try to make it sound like derry just walked into the DA’s office and confessed instead of being forced to do so.
Repairman:
Regarding Comment #200, how do you know that he was “forced to do so?”
You and red “Anonymous” certainly have a lot of insight into this matter; did you contact the Attorney General’s office and offer to be witnesses?
Who knows, with your testimony, the AG may have elected to prosecute the felony charges, instead of dismissing them.
You can certainly tell the scumbag ramosites. What scumbals.
Observer of Facts:
Just don’t believe he would walk in and confess.
Anonymous:
Regarding Comment # 205, I disagree that Neil Derry “broke the law.” At the worst, he violated a FPCC regulation, just like Mike Ramos did when he gave the $10,000 to his wife.
Mr. Ramos twisted the facts into a selective and politically motivated felony prosecution.
The “bottom line” is that Mike Ramos was out to get Neil Derry, and all he could come up with was the alleged laundering of fully reported single $5,000 campaign contribution.
Sorry, I meant FPPC.
Fatboy Ramos is truly vile and loathesome, as is repairman and similar pond scum.
