SIGNALING TO THE ENEMY THAT WE WEREN'T FU**ING AROUND!

SINCE THE FIRST DAY OF THE LOCKDOWNS ON MARCH 19, WHEN TONY TOOK HIS AGGRESSIVE, PROVOCATIVE AND  UNCOMPROMISING STAND AGAINST THE ENEMY, OUR LANDLORD PICTURED BELOW, ATTEMPTED TO EVICT US. HE DETESTS  TONY'S LOVE OF COUNTRY AND HIS BELIEFS AND PRINCIPLES, SO TRIED TO FORCE  OUT BASILICO'S THROUGH  2023.

THE LANDLORD IS OF COURSE A COWARD, SO HE HID BEHIND PROPERTY MANAGERS AND LAWYERS. HE EVEN GOT THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH TO COOPERATE WITH HIM. TOGETHER THEY FIRED AWAY AT US TRYING EVERYTHING TO GET US OUT.  

WORSE, TONY BUILT THE NEW RESTAURANT LOCATION AS A GIFT FOR TO HIS MOTHER, WHEN SHE FELL VERY SERIOUSLY ILL. SHE OWNED BASILICO'S SINCE 1999 WHEN SHE OPENED AT ITS ORIGINAL LOCATION IN 1999. SO TECHNICALLY IT WAS HIS MOTHER ROSEMARIE WHO WAS THE TENANT THE LANDLORD WAS EVICTING. AND HE KNEW DAMN WELL HOW SERIOUSLY ILL SHE WAS, AND THAT SHE WAS DECLINING DAY BY DAY. HE KNEW HOW WEAK SHE WAS. BUT HE DIDN'T CARE.  HIS ONLY OBJECTIVE WAS TO THROW BASILICO'S OUT FOR TONY'S  DEFIANCE OF THE LOCKDOWNS AND HIS SHOW OF PATRIOTISM, AND HE DIDN'T CARE WHO HE DESTROYED IN THE PROCESS.  SO THIS ALSO BECAME A PERSONAL BATTLE FOR TONY. 

BECAUSE THEY ALSO THREATENED US WITH, DEMANDING  THAT WE "REMOVE OR ELSE" OUR GIANT 18 FT. FOOT AMERICAN FLAG TONY HAD DRAPED OVER THE BUILDING IN FRONT OF OUR RESTAURANT, TONY WARNED THEM THAT IF THEY TOUCHED THE FLAG, HE WOULD GET A FLAG SO BIG, IT WOULD COVER THE ENTIRE BUIILDING, THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SEE THE FRONT DOORS.  TONY  PROMISED TO NOW  GIVE THEM A WAR THEY WOULDN'T BELIEVE! 

WHEN THESE ENEMIES COULD NO LONGER STOMACH THE FIGHT, IN OCTOBER 2023, THEY ASKED  TO SURRENDER AND REQUESTED TONY'S TERMS. 

TONY'S DEMANDS? HE MADE IT CLEAR TO THEM, THAT IN ADDITION TO MAKING MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS TO THE NEGLECTED PROPERTY, MOST IMPORTANTLY - BECAUSE THE LANDLORD INSULTED THE AMERICAN FLAG THREATEING TO TEAR IT DOWN, AND BECAUSE HE HAD DISRESPECTED ALL OF THE MEN WHO  HAVE MADE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE FOR  IT, AND ALL IT REPRESENTED, THE ONLY WAY HE WOULD STOP HIS WAR AGAINST THE LANLDLORD, WAS IF HE WOULD PLANT A 40 FT. FLAG POLE IN HIS PROPERTY, SO TONY COULD FLY THE FLAG HOW IT DESERVED, INSTEAD OF ON THE SIDE OF A BUILDING. 

THROUGH HIS LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES, THE LANDLORD FELT IT WAS AN INSULT TO INURY, SO  INITIALLY REJECTED THE IDEA, AND TRIED PUSHING BACK. BUT WHEN TONY WARNED THEM THAT THE WAR WAS BACK ON, THEY SOON RELENTED AND SIGNED THE SURRENDER  DOCUMENT AGREEING TO ALL OF TONY'S TERMS. 

THIS IS TONY'S WAY OF TEACHING THE LANDLORD A  GOOD LESSON ABOUT PATRIOTISM, AND LITERALLY STICKING IT TO HIM FOR WAGING HIS WOKE TYRANNY AGAINST BASILICO'S. FOR TONY THIS IS PLANTING THE ULTIMATE FLAG OF VICTORY, A SYMBOLIC CULMINATION OF ALL OF THE BATTLES WE HAVE WAGED SINCE EARLY 2020. IT WILL BE LIKE DRIVING A STAKE THROUGH THE HEARTS OF ALL OF OUR ANTI-AMERICAN ENEMIES!

THE FLAGPOLE WILL BE INSTALLED ON  A  HILL IN FRONT OF THE RESTAURANT THAT IS AT LEAST 5 FT HIGH, SO IT WILL RISE APPROXIMATELY 45 FT OR MORE FROM STREET LEVEL. CONSTRUCTION FOR THE INSTALLATION PROJECT BEGAN ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4TH, 2024, AND WE ARE SCHEDULING TO RAISE THE FLAG FOR THE FIRST TIME ON INDEPENDENCE DAY, JULY 4TH, 2024, PENDING ANY UNFORSEEN CONSTRUCTION CIRCUMSTANCES.

TONY'S MOTHER A GREAT PATRIOT,  OFTEN TOLD HIM THAT SHE PRAYED FOR HIM TO WIN THIS BATTLE, AS SHE DID FOR ALL OF HIS OTHERS.  TONY'S ONLY WISH IS THAT SHE COULD BE THERE TO SEE THE FLAG RAISED. SADLY SHE PASSED AWAY IN 2023.  BUT HE KNOWS THAT SHE  IS STRENTHING HIM TO CONTINUE FIGHTING, AND WILL BE THERE IN SPIRIT. SHE WILL SURELY BE ON HIS MIND WHEN H WATCHES THE FLAG GO UP THE POLE.

AS A SIDE NOTE, THE LANDLORD NEVER SENT A CONDOLENCE LETTER TO THE RESTAURANT ABOUT HIS TENANT ROSEMARIE.  ANOTHER THING TONY WILL NEVER FORGET!

ON JULY 4TH FOR THE FLAG CEREMONY,   WE WILL REMOVE THE GIANT TATTERED AND FADED FLAG  THAT IS NOW DRAPED OVER THE BUILDING IN FRONT OF BASILICO'S (THIS IS THE THIRD ONE THAT WE HAVE HUNG ON THE BUILDING, AS THE PREVIOUS ONES BECAME WORN AND DAMAGED. THEY HAVE BEEN STORED AWAY PROPERLY) AND STORE IT AWAY RESPECTFULLY. WE WILL THEN RAISE A BRAND NEW AMERICAN FLAG UP THE FLAGPOLE, FLYING IT HIGH AND  PROUDLY AS IT DESERVES,  WITH THE STARS AND STRIPES SHINING BRIGHTLY!

UPLIGHTS HAVE ALSO BEEN INSTALLED SO THE FLAG WILL BE ILLUMINATED AFTER DARK.

BECAUSE TONY HAS PLEDGED HIS RESTAURANT AS A 'CONSTITUTIONAL BATTLEGROUND' SINCE SINCE DAY ONE OF THE LOCKDOWNS FOUR YEARS AGO, IN HONOR OF THOSE WHO RISKED AND SACRIFICED EVERYTHING FOR OUR LIBERTY AND FREEDOM, AND AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE -  THE FOUNDING FATHERS AND THE BRAVE HEROES OF OUR MILITARY; WE INVITE ALL VETERANS TO ATTEND AND PARTICIPATE  IN THIS SPECIAL FLAG RAISING CELEBRATION. 

IN ADDITION, WE INVITE THOSE WHO THIS FLAG RAISING ALSO REPRESENTS, ALL SUPPORTERS WHO HAVE LOYALLY STOOD WITH US DURING OUR FIGHT AGAINST WOKE TYRANNY SINCE 2020.

SO WE HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL ON JULY 4TH, 2024 FOR THIS MOMENTOUS OCCASION, PENDING ANY UNFORSEEN CONSTRUCTION CIRCUMSTANCES. FESTIVITIES WILL BEGIN AT 12 NOON AND BASILICO'S WILL BE OPEN SERVING FOOD UNTIL 5PM.

UNTIL THEN, PLEASE STAY TUNED FOR MORE DETAILS.

----------

BY THE WAY,  BEFORE THE LOCKDOWNS, TONY AND THE LANDLORD SEEMED TO HAVE A FRIENDLY RELATIONSHIP. HOWEVER, SINCE HE FIRED THE FIRST SHOT AT TONY AND BASILICO'S, HE HAS NOT BEEN SEEN OR HEARD. INSTEAD ALL COMMUNICATION AND ACTIONS TO EVICT AND PENALIZE HAVE BEEN CARRIED OUT AT HIS DIRECTION THROUGH HIS PROPERTY MANAGERS AND LAWYERS. 

BUT WHO KNOWS, MAYBE HE WILL SHOW UP AT THE EVENT, OFFICIALLY AND PUBLICLY APOLOGIZE FOR HIS TREASONOUS AND DECIPICABLE ACTIONS, AND SALUTE AND PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG. THOSE ARE TONY'S TERM FOR FORGIVENESS.  BASILICO'S IS THE PATRIOT RE-EDUCATION CAMP, SO MAYBE THERE IS STILL HOPE FOR HIM!
