Fullerton City Councilman and immigration fraud, “Dr.” Ahmad Zahra always has an interest in his own self-interest, clothing his own interest in verbiage that makes it seems he loves all mankind, especially the “underserved.”

But Zahra is often motivated by jealousy and vindictiveness, the main target being his nemesis – the Bushala family. Hence his sudden interest in leases of city-owned property. He got it all wrong, of course, but not for lack of trying to hurt the Bushala’s in their lease agreement at the Santa Fe Depot.

At the end of the last council’s discussion on the noise ordinance Zahra was heard to mutter loud enough to be overheard: “Bushala wins again.” What Bushala was supposed to have “won” is unclear, since a decent noise ordinance that would actually be enforced, is in everybody’s interest – except those scofflaw “clubs” orchestrating the decibel free-for-all to the detriment of genuine restaurants and nearby residents.

If the proper draft ordinance decided by the council majority had been prepared, it would have been approved that night.

Here in the hallowed halls of FFFF HQ, we’ve been wondering aloud how long it would be before Zahra, Ezekiel Manassero and the rest of the Fullerton Observer claque would begin to orchestrate a nuisance opposition when the item comes back to council, with draft ordinance, on October 7th. The over-under is tomorrow at noon.

Oraganizing this may be a tough row to hoe for the ever-delinquent damascene doctor.

Sure, the usual crowd of nincompoops and boobs will rail against the council majority like they always do. Who cares? Will any of the noise pollution makers show up to claim innocence, poverty, government overreach, or some other lamentation? They didn’t appear last time to support the “it’s not broke and we won’t fix it, anyhow” strategy of Community Development Director Sunaya Thomas. I’d love to attach some names and faces to the perpetrators of nuisance blasting noise.

Anyway, the over-under at FFFF about when we will first see the opposition is sometime tomorrow. Any takers?

In 2018 Ahmad Zahra, the immigration fraud and woman batterer and plagiarist popped up out of nowhere, an unknown, and got himself elected the D5 councilman in a split race.

Is he returning to that anonymous swamp from whence he emerged?

His candidate committee for re-election in 2026 is now listed on the City Clerk’s inactive committee page. I don’t know how or why it is there instead of on the active committee page. Could it be that the Deadbeat Damascene Doctor is giving up on Fullerton politics? Maybe the Kennedy Sisters will let us know.

Zahra’s political departure, if true, is a pleasant thought.

For almost seven years we’ve been putting up with his lies, his manipulations, his machinations and his saccharine, high handed sanctimony. He has been so unpopular with a majority of his colleagues that they have continually denied him the mayorship, something he has obviously coveted so as to burnish his political reputation. Good job, too. He filed a false police report against one of them and has denigrated them in his frequent moods of high dudgeon.

It’s possible that Zahra sees no political future, given the gay man’s phony Green Card marriage to an Arkansas woman has been discovered and would obviously play a prominent part in a 2026 campaign. He spent well over $100,000 to keep his $800 per month gig in 2022 and only won because OC Dem Central created a fake Latino candidate to siphon votes away from Oscar Valadez. And this was before the marriage fraud was discovered. Thin ice, indeed.

Zahra also knows that his malevolence directed at the Bushala family is reciprocated, and that Tony Bushala has the means and the motive to finally get rid of this creep. The fact that Mr. Valadez says he is running again must be a problem for the Middle Eastern man of medicine.

Fullerton Boohoo has clasped the prevaricating fraud to its collective bosom, believing all the tripe he dishes out to them. This won’t help him stay elected.

Soon we will find out if Zahra is leaving, going back to his “day job” (whatever that job may be) full time. Or maybe we will learn that a clerical error by the “new crew” has been made, assigning his committee to the inactive list.

Obviously FFFF will remain interested.

FFFF has been notified that a complaint against serial prevaricator and immigration fraud Ahmad Zahra has been lodged with the California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC).

Although I don’t have a copy of the complaint yet, the gist of it is that for years Zahra has been identifying the Capital One Bank in the City of Industry as a “payee” for all sorts of non-related campaign expenses. These include travel(?), web service and office expenses.

I decided to check out Mr. Zahra’s campaign expenses just for the first half of 2025. He listed only two payees:

Sure enough, there’s Capital One Bank. $2329, under the heading of OFC – Office Expenses. Office expenses? So where, exactly is Zahra’s campaign office? In his little apartment by the freeway? Someplace else? That’s a lot of paper clips and staples.

Comically, Zahra’s campaign “office expenses” brought him in exactly $0 in the first two quarters of this year, a fairly damning indictment of his business acumen, at best. Zero.

So I went back a few years for fun. Here’s an entry from 2020:

Sure enough, here’s Zahra using Capital One, City of Industry as a payee for IT expenses. Here are some more:

The Bank is listed as payee for IT expenses, and meeting attendance? Huh?

When he was running for re-election in 2022 Zahra was really casting his campaign bread on the waters. But a lot of the water was murky. One example listed the bank as payee for civic donations! To whom? What for? Who Knows? Big secret.

All of Zahra’s other Capital One “expenses” in 2022 were split among various FPPC codes, including more expensive travel, hiding the true nature of these expenses, and who he really paid.

A cynical person might conclude that Zahra has been deliberately hiding his real campaign financial activity for almost seven years. But why? Have any of these payments gone to personally support Zahra himself? Maybe the FPPC can find out.

And maybe Young Elijah Manassero, the young ethics crusader will dig deep into this mess.

And by the way, who is “Tammi McIntyre” who is signing off on this as Zahra’s treasurer and why on earth is she submitting this junk to the City Clerk? Is Tammi McIntyre in on something, um, untoward? Could be.

By the way AI coughed up this when I inquired about Capital One Bank, City of Industry:

AI says: Capital One has a presence in the City of Industry, California, specifically for auto loan payments. The address for mailing auto loan payments is: Capital One Auto Finance, P.O. Box 60511, City of Industry, CA 91716.

At Tuesday’s Fullerton City Council meeting both Ahmad Zahra and Shanna Charles went to great lengths to decry the current rampage of ICE goons in our community. While there should be no support for the current administration’s unconstitutional activities anyplace, Zahra’s oratory struck me as ironic.

How come? Because we know that the openly gay, Zahra came to America from somewhere in the mid 1990s and immediately hoofed it on down to Arkansas where he married an American female, a woman named Michelle Salmon. Zahra told Vern Nelson of the Orange Juice blog that they liked each other but it didn’t work out.

That was a Zahra lie.

The illegal marriage fraud scam did work out, just as planned.

Just contemplate the ridiculousness: here’s a new, gay immigrant without his own address and with no work permit. What a catch for the young Arkansan woman.

Very soon after Zahra’s nuptials, he lit out for California to pursue his dream of becoming a filmmaker, abandoning his new bride in Little Rock. Five years or so later Zahra divorced Salmon, and with the help of a green card, no doubt, stayed in the country paving the way for ultimate citizenship.

Most immigrants that come here are damn hard working people doing jobs that Americans have become unwilling to do. Zahra, on the other hand appears to be virtually unemployed. Check out his 2023 economic interest Form 700, for example.

It looks as if Ahmad is doing a lot more political schmoozing and manipulating than he has been actively engaged in gainful employment. For a while he was collecting four grand a month going to Orange County Water District meetings, but that gravy train came to a screeching halt four years ago. It’s anybody’s guess how he pays his rent. A real audit of his campaign finances might be useful.

Then there’s the problem of Zahra’s assault and battery case against a Fullerton woman, a case that disappeared. Zahra says he was exonerated, but that’s was a lie, too.

US Immigration policy should be focused on keeping out deadbeats and bums and assaulters, not harassing people who want to work, and who do.

Could be. He’s done it before by posing as the author of crap written by an Orange County Water District PR employee.

This time is different. Now an article purportedly written by Zahra is about making Big Oil pay for stuff in California because of climate crisis that has ruined peoples’ “worlds” (no examples are given).

It’s sort of funny in an odd way to think that anybody might care about Zahra’s opinion on environmental issues, but the malignant narcissist never stops to consider his own small importance.

What stood out to me is that the articles sure looks a lot like it was written by an AI program. It has that same stilted language and repetition of phrases that makes you think of a high schooler’s homework that has been strung out with useless verbiage to make the minimum page requirement. I’ve become pretty adept at recognizing AI fluff stuff, and this sure looks like it.

As a supposed doctor of something (although no license, no practice, no patients, no research, no income) we might expect Zahra to write his own aricle for Observer at least once.

But I’ll ad this. The Observer has never been known for good or even competent writing, so there’s that.

On Tuesday April 15th, George A. Bushala took to the council chamber podium to again confront Councilman “Dr.” Ahmad Zahra about previous claims made by the Dubious Damascene Doctor.

In this case, Bushala reminded everyone that Zahra had previously claimed he had been “exonerated” in the assault and battery case against “Monica F.” he was charged with by the District Attorney in 2020. He made this claim from the council dais itself.

Naturally, Zahra has never provided the public with a shred of evidence of this so called exoneration, something that should be simple to do, since if it were true he would certainly have some notification of such by the DA.

Now we know two things about these sorts of legal proceedings. First, law enforcement may drop a case, but it never exculpates anybody, primarily because it can’t do such a thing. Second we also know that first time offenders can plead guilty and have their records whitewashed.

Mr. Bushala is perfectly right in challenging Zahra to prove his exoneration if such a thing ever really happened (or at the very least show proof that the case was dropped). Failing that Fullerton residents are justified in concluding that Zahra was not exonerated, or even cleared of charges, but instead pleaded guilty to get his record sealed.

I get the feeling that for Mr. Bushala the enmity that Zahra has shown his family is not going to fly anymore without considerable pushback. There is still a lot Zahra needs to answer for, and since the Fullerton Observer Kennedy Sisters are perfectly willing to take him at his duplicitous word, questions will continue to be raised about his fitness for office.
