About Steve Florio, Kappa Gamma and CSDR ...

Someone asked me about the incident with Steve Florio's dismissal of his job as Commissioner for Massachusetts Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing after he was placed on administrative leave after I posted the image of him doing the nazi salute with his Kappa Gamma brothers back in 1989 on my blog.

My response?  It was a long overdue. It was necessary and justified. Many people do lost their jobs after they did do the racial things so why treat Deaf people differently?  

Patrick Costello, Bill Millios and now Steve Florio were dismissed from their jobs. Many are still holding their jobs.  One asked me if I felt bad for them, my answer was simply ... no, not at all. I had been trying to get jobs at many deaf-run functions and these people managed to keep me jobless for a long time. Now I'm doing well on my own, do I really feel bad for them? Fuck, no.

The worst and biggest joke is in Riverside where the California School for the Deaf-Riverside (CSDR) Superintendent Nancy Hlibok-Amann (herself Phi Kappa Zeta, her brothers, husband and children are members of Kappa Gamma) announced that an investigation on the image where one of her staff members, Timothy Hile, showed him doing the Nazi salute back in 2006, has concluded and that there was no wrongdoing on Tim Hilo's part and that he is to resume his job at CSDR. 

This is coming from the person who has surrounded herself with the connections of Phi Kappa Zeta/Kappa Gamma and she handled the investigation without a touch of bias?  Really? 

I have to break this news to you all - many Deaf people considered CSDR, CSD, TSD, ISD, MSSD and MSD as one of the best Deaf schools in the nation.  Except that it is not exactly true.  If you check CDE's website and do the comparisons, you would realize that the worst public (elementary) school in Los Angeles County has fared better than CSDR and CSD altogether. 

So each time they roll out the graduates of CSDR/CSD, I always smirk to myself.  Little did they realize that they thought they were all that smart when they were taught by incompetent staff members at these schools as evidenced by CDE's website.

Austin Adamson?

 This kid was one of these Adamsons who nearly injured my Mother on her scooter at Maryland School for the Deaf's Benson Gym in Frederick, Maryland when she was like 68 years old ... one of the retards at MSD pushed Austin off the bleachers - and landed in front of my Mother.  What if my Mother rolled ahead ... ?  Adamsons are from Philadelphia, Frederick and Austin - they're what you would call ... "trash elites". Austin's father is Johnny Adamson, a well known con artist who stole his father's social security number and was eventually arrested in Frederick for that shit.

And Austin Adamson created this website?  Really?

Each Time Gallaudet Begs Me for $, I send it to VAF

 This is kinda cool.  But I want you folks to know something ... After 14 years, I have come to the conclusion that Dr. Jane K. Fernandes would make a great President at Gallaudet University.  

Yes, Virginia, people do change over the years.  And from what I observed, JKF has done a tremendous job of doing many great things at two schools in comparison with what Ms. Cordano has done at Gallaudet - which is why I refused to make any donation to GUAA or Gallaudet University - each time, that school asked me for $, I send $25 to VAF.  

All I can say is ... good riddance.

Dion Needs Our Help

 A well known Deaf blogger, activist and MASLED student at Gallaudet, Dion Williams has requested the public for help in getting donations to cover his grandmother's funeral expenses.  His grandmother, Delores Lois Biscoe, has passed away due to the complications with COVID19.  I made a donation right away as quickly as I learned of his grandmother's passing.

Long story short, I was in touch with Dion on the first days when his grandmother was admitted into the hospital. We talked a lot and his frustrations were valid when he noticed the disparities in medical service between the whites and the blacks. He repeatedly told me his fears about what would happen to him or his family members. And in end, he was right. 

Little did Dion and his family learned that his grandmother's insurance policy has lapsed and because of that, they are unable to have a decent and proper burial for her.  And they are in urge need of $8,000 to help out with the funeral expenses. For many years that I have come to know Dion, he is quite protective of his grandmother and mother.  He frequently talked about how much they made an impact on his wellbeing.  

There is another Deaf person who has terminal liver cancer and is dying - his family made a plea for donations and was able to raise more than $35,000 in less than a month. Never mind the fact that he has a great job, has stocks and homeowner in his right and plus, he's white. And he was able to raise $35,000. 

And Dion only asked for $8,000.  He has a long way to reach the goal. Time is of essence.

I plead you to do the right thing and help out with this. If you have the sense of decency, you will do the right thing.

In Pittsburgh, two letter carriers were arrested for dumping mails.  Sean Troesch and James McLenigan worked at two different post offices and were caught for dumping mails.  Sean is into QAnon shit, according to New York Daily News.

• James may face maximum of 5 years in prison, $250,000 fine or both.

More on Dana Flores

 After talking with several individuals including the ones that were close to Dana & Jordan Flores, I have the information that clearly showed the pattern of Dana Flores' destructive behavior which led her CODA son, Jordan to murder her.

Jordan is 17 years old CODA, son of Dana Flores and the hearing military father who is married to another woman. The "another" woman is obviously Jordan's stepmother.  

Jordan was diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder as well as mild (Aspergers) of Spectrum Autism Disorder. Jordan was usually living with his father until his father married his stepmother who refused to let Jordan come out of his bedroom until his father comes home from work. That led Jordan to seek another housing. Where does that leads him to?  Of course, his mother, Dana Flores.

Dana Flores has been well known for her obsession in getting oxycodeine pills as much as can, several of her close friends and roommates told me that she averaged 18-25 times visits per month to her primary & specialist doctors, ER and urgent cares which triggered her to have red flag in three states (California, Utah and Illinois) before she quickly relocated to Seattle.

Jordan's elder sister was taken away by CPS and was raised by her grandmother. And as of today, she is now nurse studying to be RN and refused to do anything with her own mother.  

Dana and her ex husband was hooked to these pills which led her to lose all of her teeth.  After she was red flagged in Illinois, she turned to her husband, John Dee to score the pills, he obliged until John's father discovered that he was trying to score for her and rescued him and helped him to annul the marriage immediately. 

Thanks to the help of ADWAS of Seattle, Dana was able to get the funding and the place to live by relocating to Seattle from Louisiana which she stayed for a brief time.

Jordan was practically ignored by his parents, especially by Dana who spent more time at hospitals and doctors' offices seeking the pills.  To make things worse, ADWAS was enabling her habits.  At one point, one witness said, Dana roughed Jordan up for not doing homework assignment that led him to push her lightly - Dana used that opportunity to throw herself and broke her arm so she can get the pills. 

Because of that, Jordan was placed in a group home - that bore his permanent hatred and obsession of putting his mother out of her misery.  

And the rest is history.

As far as I am concerned, Jordan does not belong to the prison system.  The system failed him, his father failed him, his mother failed him and he needs treatment, not the prison. And much to my disappointment, ADWAS enabled Dana's narco activities.
