Unveiling the Veil of Racism
Rancho Santa Margarita's Republican Regime Exposed
In the serene landscape of Rancho Santa Margarita, nestled beneath the veil of tranquility, lies a dark truth that belies its idyllic facade. Despite the illusion of progress and inclusivity, the city's government, led by figures such as Mayor Carol Gamble, Councilman Tony Beall, City Attorney Greg Simonion, and tacitly condoned by City Manager Jennifer Cervantez, has revealed its true colors of bigotry and discrimination. It's time to strip away the mask and expose the Republican Racist Red that stains the very fabric of this community.
At a time when society should be advancing beyond the shackles of discrimination, Rancho Santa Margarita stands as a testament to regression. The California Voting Rights Act, a beacon of equality, has been scorned and disregarded by those entrusted to uphold it. Jennifer Cervantez, in her role as City Manager, has shamelessly turned a blind eye to the city's failure to comply with this fundamental law, betraying the trust of the very citizens she's meant to serve.
But this transgression is just the beginning. Tony Beall and his wife Jennifer wield their influence as if they were monarchs of old, answerable to none but themselves. Their disdain for accountability is evident in their past run-ins with and fines from the Fair Political Practice Commission, yet they continue to flout the law with impunity. It seems that in Rancho Santa Margarita, the rules are made to be broken by those in power.
Their discrimination knows no bounds. The refusal to reimburse the attorney representing Hispanic interests under the CVRA, as required by law, is a blatant display of prejudice against minorities and women. To further compound this injustice, City Manager Jennifer Cervantez's alleged directive to investigate Hispanic vendors smacks of institutionalized racism. In this city, the color of your skin and your gender determine your worth in the eyes of those in authority. What other vendors might Jennifer have had the city attorney investigate? There is no way to find out due to the lack of transparency.
The moral decay extends beyond mere discrimination. Allegations of sexual impropriety within the city's corridors of power cast a shadow of shame over its leadership. From rumors of Mayor Carol Gamble's past liaisons with a former City Attorney to Tony Beall's alleged indiscretions with a chamber of commerce president. It is alleged that when Jennifer Beall found out, she fabricated fraud allegations and ran her out of town. The moral fiber of those entrusted with governance stands frayed and tattered.
But perhaps the most egregious act of all is the city council's decision to effectively evict the Boys and Girls Club from Rancho Santa Margarita. By refusing to extend their lease, they send a clear message: they would rather see Hispanic children deprived of vital services than foot the bill for their welfare. It's a stark reminder that in the eyes of this administration, the needs of minority communities are expendable. It took a huge response from the residents of RSM, who showed up at meetings for months and demanded that the subject be heard, to finally get three council members to change course. Maybe if the Bealls sent their kids to the Boys and Girls Club, they would not have had a domestic disturbance call by Jennifer Beall on her son turn into a drug violation.
However, Tony sure does love his villa in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. This is just a few days after voting against the Boys & Girls Club on April 10, 2024. He just wants the Mexicans to stay in Mexico so they can keep his villa clean, drive his boat, clean his fish, and take pictures of him.
The insidious nature of this regime's bigotry is laid bare for all to see. As the face of this administration, Jennifer Cervantez should adopt a new slogan that reflects the city's true ethos: "If you're white, you're welcome; if you're brown, be gone." It's a chilling reminder that beneath the veneer of civility lies a cesspool of racism and discrimination.
As citizens of Rancho Santa Margarita, we cannot turn a blind eye to the injustices perpetrated by those in power. It is incumbent upon us to hold our elected officials accountable and demand an end to the systemic discrimination that plagues our city. Only then can we hope to reclaim the promise of equality and justice for all.
