The Return of Jesus Quirk-Silva
Just when you might have felt safe from the re-emergence of the bumbling, incoherent former Fullerton City Councilman, Jesus Quirk-Silva, you might be horrified to learn his political thirst for office hasn’t been quenched. It appears that Quirk-Silva wants to be on the North Orange County Community College Board of Trustees. Observe:
So about a month ago JQS filed the form 501 – the statement filed when you intend to be a candidate.
The OC Dems will no doubt get behind the guy who knows nothing about college except that he somehow graduated from one despite the obvious intellectual deficit. This will be the same agglomeration of Dems who tried mightily to create a council district for the sole purpose of keeping Mr. Quirk-Silva in a council seat.
If somebody wanted to they could make reference to Quirk-Silva’s votes on the Fullerton City Council – like his embarrassing, comical, and sadly disastrous flip-flop on the boutique hotel disaster, although that isn’t likely.
These community college trustee elections rarely cause much of a dust up because no one really cares who the nodding birds are. The most recent addition to this crew is a guy named Mark Lopez, an unethical bozo who tried to be on the Anaheim School Board at the same time and who got kicked off the latter.
Meantime, I should note there is an incumbent for the job, Jeffrey Brown who has been on the Board for well over twenty years and may be one of those people who love their little sinecure and will fight to keep it.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention a rumor circulating that the seat is now coveted by none other than Paulette Marshal. Yes, the same person whose lawsuit against Tim Shaw caused the Dems to lose their only seat on the OC Board of Education; who tried and failed as a candidate for that job twice, pretending to be a teacher; and who was previously busted for stealing campaign signs from private property during a phony carpetbagging scheme to get on the Fullerton City Council in 2018.
She may look like death warmed over, but her political ambition may not be dead.
It would be safe to say that nobody wants Pilferin’ Paulette around anymore, hovering in the background like the chorus in a Greek tragedy. But this miscreant has shown she’s willing to sink a big chunk of her kid’s inheritance into getting a political office – any political office. Well, nobody except Paulette, and her senile, corrupt husband, County Supervisor Doug “Bud” Chaffee.
Man, the creeps are coming out of the woodwork. Still the stumblebum Quirk-Silva would be better than the lying crook Pilfering Paulette who will stop at nothing to get the validation of being elected to something. Anything will do. Plus, she must be 80 years old, meaning she is fast running out of time.
Jesus H. Quirk-Silvas. What a selection. Vote for the person with the slowest rubber stamp draw?
Wow. That is a legitimate confederacy of dunces!
Maybe Molly McClanahan should make a comeback.
That awkward age between middle age and Medicare when you need benefits…
Haha. Pretty cynical!
Jose Quirk Silva would be perfect for this job.
He’s the same council member who didn’t get permits on his house remodel, while on the council. Until he was caught. Do as I say, not as I do.
I was with his contractor who asked, “Jesus are you sure you want to do this unpermited.” His reply “yes”.
Oh, please tell more!
Why does Fullerton produce the worst possible people for elected office? Literally everything Fullerton politicos touch turns to pixie shit. Fucking awful.
Fullerton, being Fullerton.
Watch the Jaramillo for Dogcatcher crew get behind this dope.
I am Jeff Brown, the current NOCCCD Board member, and I sincerely welcome anyone to contact me at “jbrown@nocccd.edu” with questions or comments. The position title is trustee (“an elected official who uses judgment and expertise to make policy decisions on behalf of their constituents”). My only priority as a trustee always has been making sure the taxpayers’ money ($550 million this year, including construction projects) is used wisely to benefit our students (56,000) and the public. I have been involved with community colleges since I was 15 and specifically with Fullerton College since 1980 when I moved to Fullerton. I never have accepted a penny of campaign contributions from any organization. I never have asked for endorsements from any organizations. I’m not indebted to any special interest group, and I never will be. My job is to serve the public. So a “sinecure” (a position for personal benefit requiring little or no work)? Nope, not even close. (BTW, my official portrait is from 2002, taken when I joined the Board 23 years ago. Could I request a new one? Probably. But that would be a waste of NOCCCD’s money, so it’s not going to happen.)
Jeffrey, I genuinely appreciate your straightforwardness and honesty. In a political landscape often clouded by ambiguity and vague promises, your clear and direct approach is a breath of fresh air. It’s refreshing to see someone who isn’t afraid to speak their mind and make a comment on this blog. I will be voting for you with confidence.
