Zahra Gets Tongue Bath From Sitskia Kennedy

I told you to get between the toes!

Figuratively, of course.

A Fullerton Observer post ostensibly about money going to improve Independence Park became a saccharine tribute to “Dr.” Ahmad Zahra wherein his name is mention nine times in a few disjointed paragraphs. It’s all about how the good doctor from Damascus has worked soooo hard to secure funding for stuff in the underserved 5th District. There is even a link to one of his long-winded speechifications.

Pathetic.

As usual, Skitsa folds one of her imagined grievances into the Zahra encomium, in this case it’s a completely fictional threat to “privatize” part of Independence Park – for soccer programs, apparently – an unsolicited proposal having been mentioned by a City bureaucrat at a Parks Commission meeting.

No, Skakia, is not pleased by a fright of her own creation, but she has a champion, doncha know. And of course his name is Zahra. To wit:

“Zahra has been a strong advocate for public parks, opposing the privatization of these community spaces, which he believes prioritizes profit over local needs.”

Zahra left a fishy odor in UP Park…

Hmm. Poor Stiksa has a very poor, or a very selective memory. It was Ahmad Zahra who voted to convert the Union Pacific Park site into a private events center with a hedge and a fence around itand a locked gate. That’s right – a possibly illegal move to take public park space into which the City had previously poured millions of dollars into and privatize it.

I don’t remember laying these…

Fortunately, FFFF’s memory is better that Skitia’s. No matter how many scatterbrained tributes she can cook up for the lame duck Zahra, facts remain facts outside the precincts of Fullerton Boohoo.

  1. That events center/fish farm concept was almost the stupidest thing ever proposed in Fullerton. Right up there with the boutique hotel.

    Of course Zahra voted for both of them.

  2. Norberto Santana, publisher of VOICE OF OC not known for his conservative values, writes:

    News reporters avoid any kind of political activity that may compromise their impartiality.

    The idea is simple.

    As journalists, we are not for or against any politician or set of political interests.

    We are here to ask hard questions, to give readers facts and let them decide.

    We don’t take sides.

    We don’t participate in public meetings.

    Does Saskia have this simple understanding?

    Doubtful.

    1. When you are a self-righteous and sanctimonious crusader such as Stikia and her older sister, such things mean nothing.

    2. Don’t count on it! Kennedy operates on the dumb readers can’t read between the lines so I will snow them with opinions and they will follow like sheep because our tagline is news for the people, by the people.

  3. Here’s the City release that was the basis of the Satsia post, now, ironically found on the FO blog. Not a single mention of Zahra.

    “Following the successful completion of the Union Pacific Park and Trail projects, the City of Fullerton has announced a significant investment to revitalize Independence Park. The City Council formally approved the Independence Park Revitalization Project during the annual Operating and Capital Improvements Budget process.

    The first phase of the revitalization is backed by approximately $3 million in funding from local, state, and county resources. This phase focuses on addressing urgent infrastructure and accessibility improvements within the park. Key plans include the construction of Fullerton’s first adaptive playground, new restroom facilities, upgrades to landscaping and irrigation, and renovations to the gymnasium.

    City officials indicated that subsequent phases of the project will be implemented once additional funding sources become available, ensuring the revitalization can continue to meet the community’s needs.

    In conjunction with this project, the City is developing a comprehensive Parks Master Plan. This long-range planning effort aims to guide future investments in parks, recreation facilities, and open spaces throughout Fullerton, with a focus on involving community stakeholders and gathering public input to shape priorities and policies.

    For more details on the Independence Park Revitalization Project, including council actions, funding specifics, and timelines, residents can visit the City of Fullerton’s official website at cityoffullerton.com.”

    1. It’s clearer now than ever, The Observer and its accolades are being weaponized as part of the Trout campaign’s effort to undermine Mayor Jung’s supervisorial run. The FO obviously isn’t journalism, it’s political warfare disguised as journalism.

        1. The Observer has clearly crossed the line from “journalism” into outright political activism. Their selective reporting and biased narrative aren’t just unethical, they’re a calculated political operation. At this point, they’re essentially functioning as an unregistered political action committee, pushing a specific agenda while hiding behind the facade of a news organization.

          1. The sisters worked diligently to ignore the Scott Markowitz scam, relating, when they related anything at all, that it was a lone gunman, over and done with. But they knew who was behind Markowitz because Dian Vena told them who got her to sign the nomination papers. Was it Aaruni Thakur? Was it that creepy Andre Charles, husband of the otiose Shana Charles?

            They wouldn’t say who. But they knew all right.

          2. They are a publicity machine for the failed liberal policies of the DPOC and their shenanigans. I do not know if the Observer ever practiced journalism, but they clearly don’t care to practice anything but their own ideological doctrine and their ridiculously partisan worldview now.

            1. “I do not know if the Observer ever practiced journalism,”

              I do. The answer is no. It started because Ralph Kennedy was a disgruntled losing candidate.
