MacDermott Big Fat Lying Charlatan; Caught Again

In the following story in the Hammond Times newspaper, the Andrade candidates say they have not been put up to undermining the electoral system by being fake candidates.  In addition according to the following story, Robert "Bobbi" Lendi and Mayor McDermott know nothing about this. 

Is Hammond teen a serious mayoral candidate?

The answer by The Times should have been an emphatic no!!!

The proof is now in that the Andrade's, Bobbi Lendi, and Baby MacDermott are lying thieves and charlatans.  First, one must understand the Lendi is Baby Mac's most trusted political operative and chief of staff (I have been corrected.  He is not the "Chief of Staff" but, does work for the City and is Baby Mac's top political operative.)  They are as close as Baby Mac is to his girlfriend.  Nothing Lendi does is not ok'd by Baby Mac.  Bobby Lendi claims he ran into the Andrade's by "accident" at the election board and had never seen or heard of them before.  Baby Mac claims he is too dumb to know anything about anything.  Generally a safe posture.  He specifically claims that he has never known or met the Andrade's.

Alex Rafael CAN42   HDO Candidate Night info    Maritza Andrade CAN42

When one looks at the pdf documents above one finds that Alex Rafael Andrade Candidacy Form is notarized by none other than Mr. Bobbie "Illiana ATM" Lendi and that Maritza Andrade Candidacy Form is as well notarized by none other that Mr. Bobbie "Illiana ATM" Lendi. 

How could this not be known by The Times newspaper?  Because they are in the "bag" with Baby Mac and his father.  They will not do anything to damage their relationship with Whitco and Dean White.

Bottom line is that Baby Mac continues to be a fake and his whole staff is being used to steal from the City of Hammond first the election and then any money available.  Two things that Baby Mac and his staff do not have is honesty and honor.  Two things that Dominguez does have.

Baby McDermott is Paranoid, Wants to Undo Constitution

In the following article, in The Times newspaper many of Hammond's Mayor Tom McDermott's mental problems are presented for all to see:
McDermott Cries "Foul" Because Former Sherriff Still Interested in Politics.

The article, quoting McDermott extensively, shows a scared little boy when confronted by adults.  He is crying fowl and unfair because someone else, an adult, Roy Dominguez, wants to also play politics.  This may or may not be at McDermott's expense.  But just the fact that someone dares to play in his sandbox sends Little Tommy McDermott in to an apoplexy. 

Paranoid is a mental condition where one is irrationally afraid of either perceived or real challenges.  The irrationality in this case is that Dominguez has every right, constitutionally, to have an interest in local politics, as Baby Mac does.  It has to do with issues, policy, and speech; not personality.  But for Baby Mac this generates an irrational fear of conspiracies against his person and these must be stopped according to Baby Mac, even if by illegal means.  (Remember the illegal phone call and illegally based phone message from Baby Mac, the Mayor, made to the head law enforcement official in Lake County to fix a case.  This solely the result of being mentally paranoid.)

You would have no idea that he was ever a lawyer or read the United States or the Indiana Constitution.  Actually, I know he has not read the latter.  I am sorry to tell him that both permit others to play in his sand-box. The next item we will have is Baby Mac calling Daddy Mac to help him with the support of Dean White.  All of this by the way, is so that Hammond can continue to be served by incompetence at all levels.  The biggest bragging rights that Baby Mac has for his eight years as Mayor is that his City's dive was not quite as bad as Gary's.  Now there is a good reason to vote for somebody for another four years.

Being paranoid is a mental disease.  There are very few Democrats and no Republicans that will nor readily concur that in their observation this is a Baby Mac problem.  He is obsessive about it and about destroying individual lives; if he thinks he has been crossed.

In my next blog on Monday, I will give dollar and cents figures of where Baby Mac it ethically stealing money as Mayor of Hammond. 

Election Time and Baby Mac is Making Promises the City Cannot Fulfill

It is now election time and Baby Mac is making promises the City of Hammond cannot fulfill financially.  The City is millions of dollars in debt and there is no explanation of where this money is coming from; never mind the source of the money to close the millions of dollars in debt.  See Baby Mac's fake promises in the fluff piece in the Daddy Mac's The Times:

Hammond Adding New Police Officers.

The question is when did this so called need arise?  If there is a real need, why did Baby Mac not do this two, four, or six years ago.  Did Hammond all of a sudden have a windfall of money?  (Baby Mac did.  His gets more money per capita to his and his family's personal funds as Mayor than the Mayor of almost any American city.  As can be seen by the source, all this money is strong-armed by his family from anyone who passes through Hammond.)  Maybe that is what he needs the new police for?

Hammond has never ever been "short" of police "members."  (It is like East Chicago, which has the highest police officers per capita.  It also has the highest crime per capita.)   Hammond's problem is that it does not deploy its police officers, except to help the Baby Mac and his family.  If any of you doubt that, check the police deployment under Baby Mac, at night and on major "problem" holidays, and check the responses to 911 during the same time.

It is also true that Baby Mac is paid by the businesses and lawyers each year.  They provide for Baby Mac's personal usage, enough money to hire these police officers. This money has gone into his own personal political fund. 

This will be Baby Mac's attempt to be Mayor for a total of 12 years.  Now no one is laughing.  Only the people who are being paid off or have been forced to drink the Kool-Aid.

McDermott tops Lake County funds list; Biggest Theft by a Politician Since Records Were Kept

The thieves are hard at work in Lake County.  The only solution is for Indianapolis to take over the whole County.  By definition, Tommy "McDoobie" McDermott being head of the Lake County Democratic Party, never mind Mayor of Hammond (by electoral theft in the last election), makes the County as a whole a criminal enterprise.  If you have any doubt see the following article by Bill Dolan in The Times:

McDermott tops Lake County funds list.

There can be no doubt that McDermott is active in the "pay-to-play" game to enable him to raise this much money.  How does a mayor of a do nothing meaningless city, Hammond, in a Republican State, raise millions of dollars for his campaign?  Is anyone going to tell me that the citizens of Hammond want him as mayor?  If so, why did he almost loose to an old man in a wheel-chair with 4,000 dollars last year?  By almost I mean 200 votes.  The only way his is doing this, and if I am aware of it the Feds and State's Attorney have to be, is by threats and rewards for contracts, political position, patronage employment, and allowing criminal activity in contracting and gambling in NWI.

Remember, Hammond has almost 78,000 population, no new business and no future.  The only money is stealing from the casino.  We and the FBI know that it is happening and that is why McDoobie is raising millions of dollars.  Can someone please explain how an incompetent buffoon, in a dying city, can raise more money in political favors than a candidate for the City of Indianapolis, which is in actuallity most of Marion County?

The last time this occurred Bob Pastrick was Mayor of East Chicago and we know that story.  Why are the feds not pursuing McDermott, who is stealing by far more than Pastrick?  Why is the Indiana State Attorney not attempting to save the citizens of Hammond and Lake County from this corruption?   Are they getting part of the action or is it just better for Indiana to keep Chicago corruption in this corner of the State, and in Washington D.C. than let it spread to the rest of the State.

If one looks at development in the rest of Indiana, than the strategy of keeping the thief Doobie McDermott stealing here and the citizens here taking up the you know what from him and his father a promising strategy.

With the addition of Muncie, Indiana most economic activity in Indiana is occuring in Indianapolis and south.   As long as the NWI political leadership is Doobie McDermott than we are always going to be relegated to the status of "bend over and take it" from Doobie.

US Attorney General Investigate: Former mayor owes $120K in back property taxes

Only in NWI.  I take it back.  This is Chicago Democratic politics.  They are doing this now in Washington D.C. with Senator Dodd and Pres Obama's sweet-heart mortgage deals with Countrywide.  Let us not forget their fake assessment values for tax purposes.

Now we have the same thing with a sitting Lake County Mayor and Democratic Party Chair and his father, also a former mayor.  Isn't this the state in which the Chair of the Democratic Party went to jail recently for fraud, kickbacks, and generally being an evil rotten human being?  Yes, is the correct answer and the name is Manos.

Former mayor owes $120K in back property taxes ::  Post-Tribune.

It is amazing that McDermotts try to claim that this is an honest mistake, a misunderstanding, some lost papers, etc.  Everyone knows that it is a lie.  A bold faced fake lie.  The only reason McDermott is not in jail is because everyone is afraid of his son who has been certified by everyone who knows him and I have talked to as "certifiably crazy."  Even his personal lawyer tells people that he is.  By crazy I mean he has a tendency for violence and maiming of those opposed to him.

How can you tell the McDermott, the father, is lying?  (Not, the obvious, that he is speaking.)  McDermott says he was over-assessed at $1.6 million and that is in dispute.  Well he admits that he took out a $1.2 million mortgage originally in 2002.  Then he took out a second mortgage for $700,000.  If he put anything down on this house, which is a big if, than it is obviously worth more than the $1.6 million assessed.  It is a big if, because this is part of the sweet-heart deal from Dean White family and Whitco Industries to McDermott, Jr. and Visclosky.  Now I want to know what legitimate mortgage company gives you loans on over 100% of your houses' assessed value?  And then does not require you to pay the property taxes on their own leveraged property?  I would love to get in on this deal.  Where is the Dean White Bank when I need it?   Did he take care of Dodd and Obama?   Does he know Rizo from Chicago?  Now we all know where to do our banking.

Everyone is quite aware that there has been a felony committed here.  From everything I know Mr. Capp, the newly name US AG for Northern Indiana, is a straight-shooter who pursues political crimes irrespective of party.  Here is the perfect case.  Democrats, Republicans, new names, old names, business people, and politicians all combined to commit this fraud on the people of the State of Indiana.  Someone needs to go to jail and only the United States Attorney can make it right.  B. Carter, the Lake County attorney, is in McDermott, the son, pocket.  Even the Lake County Sheriff will not move against the father.  Look what happened when he moved against the son's supplier. 

As an added footnote, I am sure the NWI Times newspaper will pursue this story once Tom McDermott, the tax cheat, stops visiting Bill Nangle, the Times editor, weekly.  (For those of you who do not remember, it was this tax cheat McDermott, while working at the Times who broke the circulation union.)

My next entry will be how McDermott, the father, received a luxury car as a gift because of his son.  Auctioneers do a lot of business in Hammond.

Salinas: Hammond City Council is Now Banking at People's Bank in Munster

Reminiscent of the idiot E. Chicago State Representative John Aguilera when he claimed a summer home in Munster, Hammond Streets and Sanitation supervisor Al Salinas, who also happens to be a City Councilman, was seen today doing "office work" at the Munster branch of People's Bank.   One must assume that this was official Hammond business.  "Doobie" McDermott's lapdog would never do anything under the table that was not in the Hammond citizens' interest.

Since he had the snow plow truck, with the official Hammond seal, maybe Hammond was helping Munster remove snow around commercial buildings, like banks, since there are so few in Hammond.  It is good to see the Tommy McDermott is being so neighborly.  Maybe it is even possible the Salinas is contributing his time for the better good.

At 11am today, and to this individual's knowledge, still now, Al Salina is sitting in the main office of the Munster Bank, eating cookies and coffee and talking business on his cell phone.  The Hammond City truck is parked in front of the building with the engine running.

It is good to know that this is how a City that is going broke under "doobie" Mcdermott is carrying on business.  It is important to note, THERE IS A BRANCH OF PEOPLE'S BANK IN HAMMOND, ON INDIANAPOLIS BOULEVARD.

But if you were loafing and wasting the taxpayer's money, what better place than Munster.  Just like Aquilera when he claimed the house he owned in Munster was his summer home.

Al Salinas is not bright enough to do this on his own.  He cannot put two sentences together.  He would only do this if he had the protection of "doobie" McDermott.  It is too bad he is not in the fire department than he could collect overtime for his stop at the bank.

(By the way, he did not do any special banking business.  I was in there and he just made a normal transaction with the teller.)

Al Salinas is the reason Hammond is going down the toilet quickly, for its citizens.  The few like him, Salinas, and McDermott will walk away with well filled pockets, like Gary, but the rest of the citizens will curse the day the set eyes on Salinas.

New Democratic Joke: Homicides drop to 49 in 2009 in the Steel City

The following story about crime being reduced in Gary is a combination of being the biggest lie, which no one living in Lake County belives or  an outright fable meant to mislead the population of Gary and Lake County for the sake of the Democratic Party politicians like Rudy Clay and the chair Tom "the Dooby" McDermott.
Homicides drop to 49 in 2009 in the Steel City :: Lake County :: Post-Tribune.

This Post-Tribune story is fake and everyone knows it (or should know it, unless they are delusional.)  Crime in Gary only went down because of two things.  One, there is no population left and two, there is nothing left to steal.  The next census should show that Gary has no more than 70,000 people.  Anything more than that and they are cooking the books.  A drop of 40% of the population will eventually lead to a drop in the number of crimes (i.e. nobody left to steal from; it is the same problem the politicians in Washington are having.)  Those that are left in Gary have nothing left to steal from.  The first murder of the year was a visitor from out of town shot three times on the porch of the home he was visiting.  It is safer in Mosul than Gary.

The sad thing is that everyone in NWI is trying to keep the crime in Gary, Hammond, and East Chicago but it is becoming a loosing battle.  Merriville is almost finished with the old South Lake Mall going the direction of the Calumet City Mall.  The only safety net is Munster; but, that will only occur if it can create a high enough fence between it and northern Lake County and Illinois, otherwise it is also living on borrowed time.

By the way, what I am saying here is not denied or deniable by anyone.  The latest census numbers show that the population of every city and town in the north half of Lake County is dropping substantially.  The only exception is Munster, so far.

'Mailman's' criminal case pushes envelope -- McDermott and Cantrell find the fix

The fix is officially in.  The father in jail for supporting Tom McDermott, Jr., the brother was his legal partner (really crutch), and now Judge Cantrell is going to hold a family meeting singing "kumbaya." to get justice for the citizens of NWI.  Give me a break.  How dumb do the McDermotts and Cantrells think the citizens of NWI are?  Don't answer that -- they maybe on to something.

Bill Dolan wrote this latest story from the Times newspaper on this NWI charade of justice:

'Mailman's' criminal case pushes envelope.

Why the rush to clear the "mailman's" criminal family?  Because they know where McDermott's secret bones are buried.  Cantrell is not and I repeat NOT an unbiased source.  She is the most biased of all because she and her brother should be in jail for insurance fraud; but this is what their father is serving -- what a family.  Tom McDermott, jr. has to get the mailman and his family off because they know too much about Tom McDermott, Jr. and his father (let us not forgett their "private" lives that would cause an end to any political desires.)  TOM FOR CONGRESS -- DISTRICT 1????

Why the FBI and the US Attorney is not involved, only leads me to further believe that the fix is in.  Besides this was a State Police collar and they should be prosecuting it; not the political hack Bernie Carter.  McDermott's plan is to not only get himself off the hook with the mailman, but also to end the political career of Roy Dominguez.  Dominguez's lack of response to McDermott's threat makes him look weak and unfit to be Governor or any State wide office.  Secondly, Dominguez is finished as a threat to McDermott in the 1st Congressional district, which I predict will become available in 2012, if not sooner.

Dominguez has shown his political weakness and lack of principles in the one political case he had to handle.  It is not what Hoosiers want in their Governor, or in their congressman.  McDermott has succeeded in his first step of neutralizing Dominguez.  He tested him with a phone message and Dominguez flunked. 

We must not let McDermott succeed in his second plan to get the "mailman" off with a slap on the wrist.

Referendum Defeat Shows RDA Opposition by All NWI Citizens

Now everyone knows that the RDA was a fraud.  Everyone one the board was on there to steal the money from the citizens of NWI and turn it over to their favorite consultant or other Democratic operative, i.e. politicians.  There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that the RDA has done or will do that will have ANY positive consequence for the economy of NWI.

Referendum defeat steels RDA opposition.

The RDA has been taking millions of dollars out of the pockets of the citizens of Gary, Hammond, and East Chicago.  Let us not forget Lake County also as a whole.  In addition, it has taken millions from Porter County.  All of this has been of no value to any of the citizens, only to the thieves named to the RDA by the Lake County Democratic charlatans.

What does the citizens of Gary, Hammond, and East Chicago have to do with building a railroad to Lowell and Valparaiso?  This is taking money from those who are in need and giving it to the usual thieves of Lake County.  This is being done to the tune of $3.5 million each year, from each community.  What is the economic benefit to the citizens of those communities?  NONE!!!

It is time to remove for malfeasance, incompetency, and general ethical incompetence all the politicians and appointed officials involved with the RDA and RTA.  No one wants them and they are of no use to anyone and have not been since they were created four years ago.

It was all a political trade off with the downstate Republicans as a way for the local Democrats, i.e. Tom McDermott, Jr., to steal more money from the citizens.  It is time to end this charade by voting against all the incumbents now in office.

(Tom McDermott, Jr.) Barney Frank Present When Partner Arrested for Pot - FOXNews.com

Barney Frank Present When Partner Arrested for Pot - FOXNews.com

For those of you who think that this sounds familiar you are right.  It is a repeat of what our good Mayor McDermott has done.  As I understand, his favorite source for pot is now under indictment and trial.  The State Police caught the supplier and his family.   McDermott and his "colleague" the postman are now in a real fix.  The Lake County Prosecutor Carter is now looking for a way out to find the postman innocent so that McDermott will not go after him personally. 

This is what McDermott promised to do in his conversation with the Lake County Sheriff.  Now why is McDermott not being charged and has not been indicted?  That is right Tommy Mac is just like Barney Frank.  They are an exact duplicate of each other, in every way.
