Ramos
Sunday, September 30, 2012 – 08:00 p.m.
It was a couple rocky days for San Bernardino of Supervisors Candidate James Ramos last week.
Last Monday, the Former Tribal Chair meet a buzz saw at a political event held at Pie for the People restaurant in Josua Tree.
The trigger? A bullshit answer to the first question.
The question you ask? What is your position on a proposed Morongo Basin Indian casino?
Ramos’ answer? I don’t have one!
Wrong answer.
Sources tell InlandPolitics.com that Ramos endured a rough couple hours attempting to answer pointed questions as best as he could.
Then came a Highland Chamber of Commerce Candidate Forum held at East Highland Ranch on Tuesday.
Once again, things didn’t go well. This time its was courtesy of Third District Supervisor Neil Derry.
Derry, who distributed a very pointed letter rebutting all the allegations Ramos threw at him during the June primary, caught Ramos off guard and flat-footed.
Derry even addressed his 2011 guilty plea for failing to properly report a single $5,000 campaign donation 5 years ago.
Eventually the discussion centered on issues affecting everyone in general,
For the first time the Highland business crowd was able to honestly measure both candidates knowledge of issues.
One can only guess the outcome.
After presenting no cogent answer to any issue, Ramos blew out the door as fast as he could leaving some supporters wondering what had just happened.
Ramos, who spent almost $1.1 million trying to buy the seat in the June primary, which contained a third, not-to-mention republican candidate, now faces Derry head-to-head in November.
Don’t expect Ramos to expose himself opposite Derry again before the election.
Well, at least Ramos isn’t on probation or under FBI investigation like other political figures in the area!
The Ramos Bros. are equally adept at sticking-their-foot-n-mouth (it’s a disease).
If only the FBI would investigate San Berdino properly, surely the San Manuel’s Casino Boss would be right-n-the-middle of the mess!
Comment #1 sums up the James Ramos campaign pretty well:
He is totally unqualified, but he “isn’t on probation.”
This comment suggests the precise voter mentality that Mike Ramos was hoping to influence with the prosecution of Neil Derry.
“Mary,” if James Ramos wins, check back with us after his first year in office and let us know how you feel about his performance.
Well, if he hasn’t been charged with a cime, I will take that as a good sign. Nobody knows everything about county wide issues until they are tasked with the job.
By the way, it was here on this blog that you said Bagley will never support James. Must have been a typo. He has supported James in a big way. You must have meant Bagley will never support a self confessed criminal
The only reason James Ramos hasn’t been charged with a crime is because he’s well-connected with DA Mike Ramos and the San Manuel Band of Casino Mafia Bosses. And has a lot of money to give away. Not only does he know nothing of the issues, he lies about Neil Derry. That’s the only way he could ever get elected.
Glad I didn’t vote for Bagley, if what It figures says is true. Another turncoat traitor.
Truth Wins:
Please list all of James Ramos crimes. Or explain in detail why you think he should be arrested.
“It figures:”
In response to Comment #4, I do not recall ever saying that Bagley will “never support” James Ramos; can you direct me to the comment where I did so?
I don’t expect James Ramos to know “everything about county wide issues,” but a rudimentary grasp would be nice. For example, James Ramos did not know that Cal Trans has jurisdiction over one of the main transportation corridors in the district he is attempting to represent, Highway 330.
As to Neil Derry being a “self confessed criminal,” you and “Mary” should get together and bond, as you have a lot in common. Perhaps “Repairman” can join you, and you can bash Neil Derry collectively and avoid explaining how James Ramos is even remotely qualified to be a County Supervisor.
As I have said many times before, Mike Ramos was clearly out to get Neil Derry, and all he could come up with was the alleged laundering of a fully reported $5,000 campaign contribution. If that’s all he could find, there was not much to be found.
Where is the video link to this big embarrassment of a Joshua Tree meeting that you are writing about?
Why would anyone want a casino boss who pays no taxes to represent them on the Board of Supervisors? How does Ramos even have the slightest clue what it’s like to be a middle class tax payer?
OOF, it was not directed at you. Rather the administrator. He insists those who voted for Bagley will never vote for Ramos. Interesting thought since Bagley has endorsed him.
#9…..Actually, I hear that there was much poverty on that reservation for many generations. The real question is how anyone outside of the reservation could have a clue of how they dealt with this problem? Be kind and thankful of their good charity, perhaps they will give Derry employment after November.
WOW, this took place in Highland!
Is the Chamber of Commerce aware that James Ramos is involved in off the Reservation business transactions in their city with Majestic Realty? http://inlandpolitics.com/blog/2012/05/31/inlandpolitics-not-on-our-land/
Majestic Realty has a shady past of fraud, deception, and highly suspected of working in cahoots with the Mexican and Russian mafias in drug trafficking; it could explain Majestic Realty’s current investment project of expanding the runways at the Chino Airport, supposedly to make way for larger “private” planes; hm,less law enforcement eyes in Chino? What’s wrong with Ontario, OC, LA? They accept “private” planes.
Ramos’ many business transactions, and close friendship with Majestic Realty agent, Jane Un and her family, is also suspect do to her documented fraudulent real estate deals in which many victims’ losses totaled millions. At many Redlands political functions I’ve heard her squawk endlessly about the tremendous amount of money she has raised for Congressman Jerry Lewis and his political allies.
.
This Redlands based, Majestic Realty agent, Jane Un, is known within her circle of elite Wicca members as “The Queen of Redlands” she is addressed as such, while her partner in crime-literally- is addressed as “The Price of Purification”–his real name is known all over the county, he should learn to not kisses and tell.
This Jane Un has deep woven personal and political ties with JAMES RAMOS, MIKE RAMOS, DENISE HANSBERGER, AND CONGRESSMAN JERRY LEWIS.
It was this dark crowd of Redlands politicians that felt threatened by Derry, and lowered themselves to the UNTHINKABLE of FALSELY accusing Neil Derry for the SOLE purpose STAINING HIS NAME, and putting into office Ramos- a FOOLISH man- who will bring chaos, disorder and disaster, not only to the Third District, but to all of SBC! (If I keep repeating this warning, I’ll turn bloody red, and will soon be indistinguishable from “Red Anonymous”!)
Is Jane’s partner Ed R. ,Jr.?
Been corrected by several…
“The Queen of Redlands” partner is called by the Wicca community “The PRINCE of Purification” not “Price”
I stand corrected, and pass it on.
Anon#12…..your link is to another Inland Politics post? That’s some real in depth research.
Red,
Yes sir!
It’s absolutely a link to the ever growing influential Inlandpolitics.com, where YOU yourself have your beautiful velvet RED footprints ALL over!
About the “research” ARE YOU KIDDING-THERE IS NO TIME TO SPARE!!!
San Bernardino County is FALLING APART, if we don’t know what ACTION needs to be taken by now…THEN IT’S TOO LATE for us!
I don’t live in the third district, and don’t really have a horse in this race. However, how anyone could think, or argue that Ramos should be supervisor is a mystery. Unless you are directly receiving cash benefits from him there is no logical reason for anyone to vote for him. Seriously, a casino boss?
Let us hope the voters are smarter than the poles suggest. Let us pray for an October surprise. A Ramos election will send our county back to days when our politicians were not just inept, but truly corrupt!
Just a thought? Would it not be a CONFLICT OF INTEREST that James Ramos has MANY MANY CURRENT ON GOING REAL ESTATE PROJECTS, not only in the Third District but throughout San Bernardino County IN WHICH HE WILL BE VOTING ON???
FOR EXAMPLE:
1. Norton Re-Use Project – JAMES RAMOS’ TRIBE owns a total of 140-acres of REDEVELOPMENT land bordering the airport, and is working with MAJESTIC REALTY.
2. “Sterling and 5th Street Project – The project is designed to use 25 acres of land near the San Bernardino International Airport for warehousing and storage for the San Manuel Band of Serrano Mission Indians and the TRIBE’S MANY ECONOMIC VENTURES.”
Yeah, yeah, he could abstain you say…but remember his money has entices, and Janice Rutherford took the bite, as has Josie Gonzalez…and RICK ROELLE HAS ABSOLUTELY ALREADY COMMITTED HIS SOUL TO THE DEVIL, I MEAN, HAS ABSOLUTELY COMMITTED TO ENDORSING JAMES RAMOS.
BUT THE SCARIEST ISSUE HERE…JAMES RAMOS, NOT AN “AMERICAN” HAS NO OBLIGATION TO DISCLOSE ALL HIS SHADY AND CORRUPT BUSINESS PROJECTS WITH OUR GOVERNMENT- HE CAN, AND HAS BEEN, THUMBING HIS NOSE AT OUR LAWS,AND GOVERNMENT POLICIES.
…AND FOR THAT, WE HAVE CONGRESSMAN JERRY LEWIS TO THANK!
Ramos is a stupid but rich egomaniac who thinks he is somehow intelligent. His supporters picked him to knock off the only honest one on the Bos because Ramos is a tool,easily manipulated. Plus,he is too dumb to realize his handlers think he’s a fool.
#18…….everything you claim has already been done by Burum short of running for office. Since you seem to know so much, please tell us how much of the airport he owns out side of the old housing section.
RED,
What percentage? That’s your concern! Wake up! Look at the bigger picture!
And yes, I know much- much more- it would scare you, so I’ll keep my cards close to me.
I still don’t particularly like you,
but I am starting to trust you, so I’ll confide in you that
I’ve held back satisfying my aching thirst for blood and war…
the opportunity was there, but when one goes after the “bad” guys,
there seems to always be “innocent” bystanders caught in the mayhem;
resulting in my “Mr. Nice guy” approach. But now I’m drained and all
worn out holding back my war chant.
Others will have to take the baton, it’s no longer in my hands.
Anonymous #21:
In other words you know nothing.
Repairman,
If believing that eases your mind…okay, but I always felt you were stronger than that.
Anonymous:
I just don’t believe your the type that could hold back, if you actually knew something.
Anon 21…..It’s not about percentages. San Manuel has holdings on what used to be Norton air base. We all know that. They specifically own the old housing area, we know that. What you are alluding to is that San Manuel is in a land development deal with Majestic realty and that they are not developing anything, but instead re paving runways. My guess is that you are trying to sell everyone drug running cool aid? This is preposterous, stop being silly and start the work of finding a legitimate candidate that you can run for the supervisor seat next time around. Until then get used to MR James Ramos as the new 3rd district supervisor.
Repairman, correct, you got me pegged, I am not “the type to hold back” which is why, I stated that, “I’m drained and all worn out holding back my war chant.”
Red, I’m not being silly, I hope you won’t have to find out the hard way.
