The Cochella High School has drawn some serious criticism lately for their choice of mascot.  They are called the Arabs and the mascot is the Angry Arab, normally I would say it’s just a harmless mascot, let’s all be big about it and move on.   But, this time I have to agree with those who are offended.   A cartoon picture of their mascot depicts a man with a large hooked nose, heavy beard, and wearing” a traditional head covering.     

This is one situation where there’s not much to defend, the Arab-American Anti-defamation League and ordinary citizens should agree they’ve crossed a line with this mascot and it needs to go.   “”Continued use of the Angry Arab mascot perpetuates demeaning stereotypes of Arabs and Arab Americans,” the League said yesterday.  “Coachella Valley High School’s gross stereotyping cannot be tolerated.”

 Others oppose it on totally different grounds, “The world is at war with radical Muslims (many of them Arab) and this nation has suffered it’s share of carnage by angry Arabs.   On that alone it’s offensive.    Why would any American parent of any ethnic background want their boy to play for the Angry Arabs?”  Said in a blog comment this morning.    What were they thinking?

And this  boys and girls is what can happen when you mess around with a pistol that you are (1) unfamiliar with and (2 ) have not checked to see if it was loaded… before (3) testing the trigger pull!

The .45 cal is one big nasty slug.   Luckily the bone was missed by a fraction of an inch.   See the bone in picture?  It’s kinda white in  a triangle shape. 

What do you want to bet that next time around this young woman will clear the weapon before pulling the trigger.   Hurts just looking at it.  (Thanks go to Harold for sharing this one)

Quarterback superstar Aaron Rogers surprised a young lady, who is a big Packers fan, bringing her onstage at The Pabst Theater in Milwaukee to produce some music. He also wanted to raise awareness for Independence First, an organization she works with that is run by and for the benefit of people who have disabilities.

Aaron and David Gruber host an online series of videos where they surprise guests and invest time into helping them achieve their goals and ambitions.

From the Enterprise Record…Halloween: 74 Arrested – Same as Last Year

I’m thinking we need to have a serious talk with these 74, so they will behave next year.

Lying and cheating to win has had a long history in the Democrat Party as the recent lies repeated again and again by the President demonstrate. Today it appears we have more evidence of the devious methods that extremists in the Democrat Party use to tip elections for their party.

The race for governor in Virginia is being reported as the bell weather election that will signal Hillary’s chances in the next Presidential race. Democrat Terry McAuliffe is running against Republican Ken Cuccinelli in a tight race. Libertarian Robert C. Sarvis is acting as spoiler according to information posted by the American Thinker:

It has been revealed that the libertarian candidate for governor in Virginia, who is siphoning votes away from Ken Cuccinelli, was funded by an Obama campaign bundler. Meredith Jessup of the Blaze reports:

A major Democratic Party benefactor and Obama campaign bundler helped pay for professional petition circulators responsible for getting Virginia Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Robert C. Sarvis on the ballot – a move that could split conservative votes in a tight race.

Campaign finance records show the Libertarian Booster PAC has made the largest independent contribution to Sarvis’ campaign, helping to pay for professional petition circulators who collected signatures necessary to get Sarvis’ name on Tuesday’s statewide ballot.

This information may have been what prompted Libertarian Ron Paul to make a public statement:

On Monday, former Congressman and staunch libertarian Ron Paul (R-TX) campaigned for Virginia Republican Governor candidate Ken Cuccinelli and said Virginias would be giving up on liberty if they voted for Democrat Terry McAuliffe in Tuesday’s election and would be “insane” if they voted for so-called libertarian Robert Sarvis, the third-party candidate who may siphon enough votes from Cuccinelli to spoil the election.

Until the rise of talk radio, FOX News, the Tea Party, and bloggers and activists, this kind of information would never have see the light of day. The leftist main stream media would have buried the information to shield Democrats…and they would have completely gotten away with it.

The public has a right to know. More importantly the public has a right to expect candidates to inform the public truthfully and to run their campaigns in an honest, forthright manner.

The “it” many of us are sick of is the constant manipulation through lies and deception, trickery and game playing. One way to stop this power grabbing for personal ambition is to cut the legs out from under the table of BIG GOVERNMENT. Since we can’t count on politicians to change their ways, it’s something to think about.

CHICO — The R-Town Downtown Coalition sprinted to a start Monday morning with the aide of a cleanup brigade and security patrols in the downtown core.
Before many businesses had even opened their doors for the day, clients from the Jesus Center were busy scrubbing walkways and picking up trash. As the day went on, armed security patrols went door-to-door to introduce themselves to store owners and see who is interested in their free services.

“It really was an effort that was needed and a lot of people pitched in to make it happen. It’s going to be a very exhaustive effort,” said coalition member Doug Guillon. “It will make a difference downtown.”

With help from business people, property owners and community support organizations, the program came together in a few short weeks. The goal is to make downtown Chico enjoyable for visitors and residents by addressing anti-social and criminal behavior on private property.

To understand why I am calling Speaker Boehner, et al, a democrat please refer to the comments in the article just before this one titled, Lies and Indoctrination – How Far Will Liberal Progressives Go?

Our friend Libby reports this breaking news…. “I heard today that the Senate voted affirmatively on a fifteen year old bill … to the effect that you can’t sack a gay person from his job … for being gay. And I also hear that the House (aka Boehner) will not consider it. I really don’t think that’s going to do you any good either (referring to the Abe Lincoln – Democrat, plaque protest).

“If we do it will be because the American people bought another pack of lies and BS excuses.”

And not because the sequester cuts have put several hundred thousand people out of work? … because the Congress (specifically the House) will not do its job?

Well, we shall see.

Our friend Libby reports, “I heard today that the Senate voted affirmatively on a fifteen year old bill … to the effect that you can’t sack a gay person from his job … for being gay. And I also hear that the House (aka Boehner) will not consider it.

Libby…the Senate in a bipartisan action did pass the law and yes Boehner a [democrat] opposed it.

Wikipedia says this about the bill, “The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) is legislation proposed in the United States Congress that would prohibit discrimination in hiring and employment on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity by civilian, nonreligious employers with at least 15 employees.

ENDA has been introduced in every Congress since 1994 except the 109th. Similar legislation has been introduced without passage since 1974.[1] The bill gained its best chance at passing after the Democratic Party broke twelve years of Republican Congressional rule in the 2006 midterm elections. In 2007, gender identity protections were added to the legislation for the first time. Some sponsors believed that even with a Democratic majority, ENDA did not have enough votes to pass the House of Representatives with transgender inclusion and dropped it from the bill, which passed the House and then died in the Senate. President George W. Bush (democrat) threatened to veto the measure. LGBT advocacy organizations and the LGBT community were divided over support of the modified bill.

In 2009, following Democratic gains in the 2008 elections, and after the divisiveness of the 2007 debate, Rep. Barney Frank introduced a transgender-inclusive version of ENDA. He introduced it again in 2011, and Sen. Jeff Merkley introduced it in the Senate. President Barack Obama supports the bill’s passage.”

House Speaker John Boehner (democrat) affirmed on Monday morning that he would oppose a law that would prohibit discrimination against gay and lesbian employees in the workplace, citing the possibility that it would put a financial burden on businesses. “The Speaker believes this legislation will increase frivolous litigation and cost American jobs, especially small business jobs,” Boehner (democrat) spokesman Michael Steel (also a democrat) said in a statement.

I’m wondering does anyone have any statistics on the number of people being fired for their sexual orientation in the few States left that are still without an anti-discrimination law? I think it’s relevant to know if this is just a feel good federal bill or is there a real need? I don’t have any idea – do you?
