I am very passionate about fighting corruption at all levels in all arenas through identification, exposure, investigation and prosecution. I excel at catching liars telling lies. I also excel at dismantling dishonest individuals and entities who, for ulterior motives, spin false stories to make something appear to be something it is not. Why? For integrity; one of my core values. False stories are birthed and propagated through knowingly false statements, false documentation, falsified reports, hearsay, perjury, witness tampering, evidence tampering (i.e., manufacturing evidence, disposing of evidence, methodically not collecting evidence, selectively collecting evidence for a particular outcome) and manipulation of the evidence standard (e.g., especially preponderance of evidence). And this type of nefarious activity, regardless of the manner in which it is perpetrated, is a danger to any innocent person who finds himself or herself the subject of focus of a perpetrator or multiple perpetrators acting in collusion. Remember the smear campaign and humiliating hearing that Associate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was subjected to suspiciously and immediately after he was nominated by President Trump and just before he was confirmed?  Ohio Representative Jim Jordan did an excellent job separating fact from fiction by bringing into question the credibility of this witness, Ambassador Taylor. 

And I am neither for or against an impeachment. My loyalty is with the truth. Whether or not President Donald Trump is guilty of an impeachable offense has yet to be proven. So far the presentation of questionable information and circumstantial evidence by heavily biased witnesses with what appears to be an ulterior motive has not convinced me of anything. The ulterior motive being a concerted effort to oust an outspoken, polarizing public figure from his post as the United States President.

I love messages of strength and determination; especially when they come from true life stories. Congratulations to my friend Kayley Portocarrero on making it into the U. S. Navy. Below is her story, written by her, regarding overcoming obstacles to achieve a goal; her dream of becoming a member of the U.S. Navy. Coincidentally I met Kayley when she contacted me regarding a story I wrote on this blog about one of my true life experiences with a Redondo Beach Firefighter/Paramedic. I wrote a post about the importance of telling your own story at

Strength and determination are among some of the core characteristics essential to being in the U.S. Armed Forces. Here is Kayley's story...

The day of August 29th I left for Navy boot camp; a day I honestly never thought would come. But let’s back up for a second. I had been trying to join the Navy for over a year at that point. I started my journey in May of 2018. I had to lose a ton of weight to even be considered. That was my first goal. Once I hit where I knew I could join, I walked into the recruiting station with no appointment, but a lot determination. This is what I want to do with my life. Fast forward to... October 2018, after many tests and evaluations Big Navy permanently disqualified me. I was upset and kept thinking to myself that I wasn’t good enough. I quickly got over that, and started researching how to get in the Navy as an Officer (the requirements can differ), so I started working on my degree again in order to reapply for the Navy. I kept going to the gym, kept myself accountable every single day. In April, my recruiter contacted me and told me that some changes had been made and I have another 50/50 shot of possibly enlisting. I was hesitant for about 0.5 seconds and thought: “fuck that, you’ve worked to hard to not give it another chance.” Another month goes by and I finally get approved and swore in to the Navy. 

The last two months in boot camp were nothing like what I expected. I’ve never been such a negative environment before, but it turns out that I learned a lot about who I was in situations that stressed me out the most. I made some amazing friends, I learned that I can do ANYTHING I put my mind to. I’m so honored to be apart of the United States Navy, and glad the Navy took a chance on me. Now I’m at Fort Sam Houston ready to become a Hospital Corpsman. #navysailor #futurecorpsman #womeninuniform #militarywomen #usnavy
