Foley Quietly Dismisses His Protection Order Against Me

Montgomery County Clerk of Courts Mike Foley has quietly dismissed his civil stalking protection order case against me, weeks after his allegations made front-page news and a lead TV segment. The case, Foley v. Esrati (2025CV05807), was voluntarily withdrawn on November 12, 2025, according to a notice filed by his attorney, Dennis Lieberman. Despite Foley’s public claims that I had threatened him, the court denied his request for an emergency protection order and no such order was ever issued. The filings are hidden from public view, but multiple procedural actions occurred before the case was dismissed without a hearing. The episode caused reputational harm and unnecessary legal expense. I am also appealing the Second District Court of Appeals’ decision in my Quo Warranto case to the Ohio Supreme Court, challenging Foley’s right to remain in office under Ohio’s Constitution.

Another Jail Death: Edgar Keiter Jr.

Edgar Keiter Jr., accused of brutally killing and dismembering his father, died of an overdose in the Montgomery County Jail—his second while in custody. Though still awaiting trial, he somehow obtained drugs in a facility meant to ensure safety and sobriety. The post condemns the jail’s ongoing pattern of preventable deaths and abuse, calling it more “Thunderdome than holding home.” It criticizes county leadership, prosecutors, and media for their silence as the jail continues to generate lawsuits and tragedies without accountability.

Jailers Gone Wild: The Khalid Mustafa Beating

11/11/2025

Comments: 3

A week before his release, Khalid Mustafa was beaten nearly to death inside the Montgomery County Jail by officers who dragged him into the shower, gloved up, and unleashed brutality. His injuries were catastrophic, his pleas ignored, and his abusers rewarded. This is the story of a broken system where cruelty is routine, accountability is absent, and Sheriff Rob Streck still wears the badge while others pay the price.

The Court Told Me to File to Remove Mat Heck, Here's what I told them.

The Second District Court of Appeals just dismissed my quo warranto case against Clerk of Courts Mike Foley, effectively saying that only Prosecutor Mat Heck can enforce the Ohio Constitution’s rule for removing corrupt officials. That means if Heck refuses to act, the Constitution is worthless — and the next filing will be to remove him for neglect of duty. Here’s my motion to reconsider.

Court Rules Only Politicians Can Police Politicians. That Is Not What Ohio’s Constitution Says.

11/04/2025

Comments: 8

Ohio’s Second District Court of Appeals just ruled that citizens have no standing to remove a convicted public official from office — even though Ohio law explicitly gives them that right. The court dismissed my quo warranto action without a hearing, without argument, and without addressing the statute that allows citizen enforcement when prosecutors refuse. This isn’t democracy — it’s political self-protection. If politicians can police themselves, then the Ohio Constitution is meaningless. Read the ruling. See the law. Decide for yourself.

This guide cuts through the noise, follows the money, and calls out who works for the public and who works for the insiders. Transparency matters, wherever you vote.

Why you shouldn't vote until election day in Dayton

10/26/2025

Comments: 13

Early voting starts Tuesday, Oct. 7, but in Dayton that also means the dirty tricks season begins. From attack mailers to hot-mic moments, there’s still plenty to learn before casting a ballot. I’ve seen too many voters regret voting early after new revelations surface—whether it’s push polls, secret donors, or last-minute scandals. The most telling information often comes from campaign finance reports due Oct. 23, exposing who’s buying influence. Stay informed, wait to vote, and make sure your decision is based on all the facts—not the spin.
