Readers and voters can decide why Pritesh Patel and Mike Jones called me today

Last week, I did the posts linked below. Pritesh Patel is mentioned in some of the posts.

I have never spoken to Pritesh Patel. He tried calling me twice today. The Humboldt Lodging Alliance lists a Pritesh Patel on their Board of Directors but who knows if the list is current or has changed since October 2020.

Mike Jones has never called me in all the years I have known him. The few instances I have spoken to him, even when I was previously involved in the political and business community years ago; it was brief; he was never friendly, always rude and arrogant. He called me today.

Mike has certainly bad mouthed me a lot behind my back and lied just as other two faced Humboldt Connected. Mike, you are the company you keep and work with: a racist, a homophobe and a bully.

Is Mike calling me today a coincidence? I don't think so. Twice recently Mike and a few others who I know are close to Rob McBeth and Rex Bohn have lashed out at me in retaliation; it has always been after posts not convenient to Rex and the other good ole boys and gals. The same people who are pissed that I don't fall in line with their agenda and report only what they want like other local media does. I do know Mike does business with the East Indian community.

I really don't care why Pritesh or Mike called me. Neither of them work with me in any capacity. They certainly aren't my friends and acquaintances.

If this is about the blog or the posts linked below there is an email address. Put it in writing. Neither of them left a voicemail. Why is that?

Readers and Humboldt voters can decide if Pritesh or Mike wanted to warn or intimidate me about coverage which is vital information in the public interest.

When I walk around lately, there are a lot of people who come up to me including former critics and new readers. These are voters. These include people who realize I have always been my own person; independent in 2010 and 2022.
