SATURDAY - TALK DAY
I am admittedly overwhelmed regularly by the number of people who contact me. I want to fix that (a little) and this Saturday (12/6) I will be setting aside a big chunk of the day to talk to you. If you want to talk to me 1x1 re. an issue, in Saturday (12/6), send me an email at [email protected]. INCLUDE:
1️⃣ Your name.
2️⃣ Your mobile number.
3️⃣A brief (1-2 lines) summary of the issue or issues you want to discuss.
4️⃣A brief (1-2 lines) statement of how you think the issue or issues, being exposed, will have broad impact.
5️⃣A brief (1-2 lines) statement of what outcome you want to see happen (ex: x elected official held accountable).
6️⃣ Two times it would be best to call you on Saturday, 12/6.

As a reminder, I do not have the bandwidth to just "look into" something. I need specific items and some form of evidence (not single person hearsay). I protect informants who tell me who they are. I rarely work with people who won't tell me who they are (such people often have hidden anterior motives). I focus in Clermont, Adams, and Brown and, sometimes broader state issues that impact them. I am only one guy. I out out more quality work than all of the "investigative reporters" of the local corporate media combined. But, I have limited capacity.

Okay then . . . [email protected] if you want to talk about an issue you think I could help with and will be compelling to me. And remember:
👉30/3/30.

Have a 30 second summary that gets my attention to want to talk about it for 3 more minutes and then discuss it for 30 minutes or more.
👉AKA: Sell me on your issue.

NOTE: I will not be doing a weekly update this Saturday.

Remember the Linda Fraley, Clermont County, Ohio - Government secret meeting board . . . to hide meetings from the public?

The reply in the image, to the question, is now deleted by Mr. Scales.
👉Signal 99 says he does not owe any money.
👉Top Tier Kennels is doing a raffle (are they a 501?) to pay off the money.
👉But in November he paid that month's money.

But through it all, he has no statement like, "It is on me. I take responsibility. I will make it right."
👉We need a full accounting of what happened to the Thanksgiving money.

HOW ABOUT FOR EVERY SINGLE MOM (NOT FOR THE DEADBEAT DAD)?
Love it. Signal 99 claims HILARIOUS SCALES does not actually owe anything and "hold my beer" Top Tier Kennels jumps in with a "raffle" to pay the deadbeat dad's child support . . .
👉Mr. Alfaya, how about offering to do this for ANY single mom HILARIOUS SCALES follower not getting their child suppoort!

Special kind of moronic . . .a raffle for the DEADBEAT DAD vs. for the kids and moms who are victims of deadbeat dads. It is literally like the movie Idiocracy.

Signal 99 loves hiding their identity (bad cops and their friends?). They reliably smear in furtherance of protecting bad actors. Enter their buddy HILARIOUS SCALES . . . and their 4:30 AM (12/4) post . .
👉Notice how Signal 99 cannot do video posts (like this)? happens when you need to hide who you are.

Where we are as a society is anything but HILARIOUS . . .
Late last night I posted a video exposing that Lamenuel "Hilarious" Scales is a deadbeat dad as he is put on a pedestal by government, the media, and business. The comments on that post (https://www.facebook.com/reel/4577358202499876) speak volumes to the state of our society. PEOPLE DEFENDING PARENTAL IRRESPONSIBILITY AS VIRTUE. It deserves a response, drawing on Mr. Scales own comments about the 1970s vs. today.
👉Real men pay for their kids. They don't make excuses. They teach the next generation to avoid mistakes that have made.

12/04/2025

Hilarious Scales is not what he seems . . .
So, has anyone (like Jeff Wyler, Sharefax, LOCAL 12, WKRC-TV, or Ameila's Christmas Parade) noticed that HILARIOUS SCALES is a DEADBEAT DAD with a SUSPENDED LICENSE?
👉He owes $3,700 for just his kid in Clermont County.

Is this a role model for kids (and adults)?

Tim Rudd is the Clermont County, Ohio - Government Recorder and the $199k man.
👉He collects (1) a govt. pension, (2) an elected official paycheck, and will shortly get a (3) Board of Elections paycheck.

He is 66. So, what do you think?
👉But, keep in mind that he did not pull the stunt of "resigning office, retiring, re-taking office" that so many elected officials do (ex: Linda Fraley) . . .

NOTE: Government "service" is not some pauper's life. These people all do alright and have better pension systems than we common folk.

Baby Surrender Update . . . Union Township, Clermont County . . . and, yet again, my "unpopular" view that boxes for safe haven are demeaning and exploitative (a view many people land at when they really think about it and why we got rid of these after medieval times).
