    PLANNING AHEAD FOR THE NEW ERA!

    Time Saving Truth from Falsehood and Envy, François Lemoyne, 1737

     

    Donald Trump warned that a controversial budget proposal introduced by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) could prove to be a "death wish" for Republicans in the next election cycle on Wednesday morning during an appearance on "Fox & Friends."

    "I’m looking at the Republicans and seeing things that are like they have a death wish," said Trump in speaking out on the plan, which includes contentious reforms to entitlement programs. "Whether its the Ryan plan, which is a death wish, for him to have brought this plan out at this time, why doesn’t allow Obama, you know these are not good business people or these are not good chess players, why doesn’t he allow Obama come out first, why does he have to come out with a plan?"

    Never were truer words said by a repub!

    I mean it's warnings like this that make me proud to be a repub!

    If us repubs were to just go ahead, throw caution to the four winds, and tell the voters exactly what we were thinking how in the hell could any repub be elected?

    How stupid can you be Paul Ryan.

    And shame on you Sir Boehner!

    The Republican Party did not get where it is today telling the public exactly what they were planning to do for chrissakes.

    I mean, let us take a good look at Governor Walker in Wisconsin.

    How many votes would that icon of repub values received in November of last year if he had told those Cheeseheads he was about to declare martial law and abolish the power of municipalities forever?

    Exactly how large would Walker's winning percentage have been if he had gone ahead and told his 'constituents' that he would lay off thousands of workers, cut their pay by 8%, cut their benefits including health insurance and take away their union's right to bargain for their rights collectively?

    And how much praise would Walker have received if he had told Wisconsonites in 2010 that he would take away or diminish health coverage for 1/5 of each and every Cheesehead? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/23/scott-walker-medicaid-wisconsin_n_826821.html

    And John Kaskich of Ohio called Walker's plans and went ahead and raised him two times the pot!

    He is going to sell all of Ohio Prisoners to the Aryan Nation of America and see if Arpaio has any green bologna left!

    And Mitch Daniels of Indiana came up with an even better idea by selling Indiana Elementary School Students to The Christian Coalition for Revisionist History. And he is not only removing Medicaid from those accident prone freeloaders, but he is throwing in a ban on Medicare at the same time!

    And all of these new fascists are banning abortion under all conditions and circumstances and removing any possibility of family planning for the poor and the middle classes.

    There are so many other Republican Governors out there doing their best to get the oligarchy going, to cut taxes for the rich and the taxes on the Corporations that keep those rich in power.

    And there are so many Republican Governors who are doing their best to curb the rights of citizens to vote so that only the elite have the right to walk into that voting booth!

    Now how many votes do you think a republican could get running on a platform whereby the state would sell prisoners to NAZI's, sell children to Christian Fundamentalists, and erase municipal elections; appointing unelected Tsars to govern cities and counties?

    How many votes could a politician expect to receive by firing hundreds of thousands of employees when unemployment is so high?

    How much of a constituency would you expect to back you up by promising that you will raise the taxes of the middle and lower classes and decrease the amount of taxes paid by the corporations who fill your campaign coffers?

    THAT TYPE OF PLANNING DOES NOT WORK!

    Instead you tell folks that you will reduce ALL taxes.

    Instead you tell folks that you are compassionate.

    Instead you tell folks that you are going to increase employment opportunities in your state.

    Instead you tell folks that through the use of Christian tenets and Christian teachings and Christian morals you will see that their children are taken care of.

    Hitler you realize participated in the most egalitarian democracies of all time. He asked the Germans for their votes without telling them that as soon as he got to power, he would remove their right to vote!

    I mean how far would George W. Bush have gotten if he had told Americans that:

    The first thing we are gonna do is invade Iraq!

    We are going to give republican corporations billions to print up new tests for our students that are meaningless for anyone except those republican corporations!

    We are planning on invading five to seven countries before the game is over!

    We are planning on increasing the national debt to levels not seen since the Weimar Republic by cutting the taxes on the luckiest bastards in this nation.

    We are planning on giving the rich millions in taxes and rebating the middle class enough dough to purchase the toaster ovens of their choice.

    We are planning on doing away with the Geneva Conventions along with other clauses contained in treaties that were decades in the makings.

    We are planning to institute torture on a scale not seen in this country since the Civil War.

    We are planning to institute warrantless searches and warrantless taps on your phones, on your PC's and even your ham radios.

    We are planning on doing away with your Constitutional Rights; we will arrest you without filing charges, we will hide you in foreign prisons with no expectation of trial, we will remove your right to see attorneys, we will remove your rights to confront your accusers, we will....

    Oh wait a minute.

    So the American People voted for George W. Bush in 2004 anyway through the greatest propaganda effort ever instituted since Germany in the 1920's.

    Nevertheless, that propaganda system broke down in 2006 and 2008.

    And it is beside the point anyway.

    Cal Coolidge once said:

    The business of America is business!

    And this nation needs a businessman like Trump to hold the reins of government!

    Well, shucks, Dick; I thought Molly Ivins coined the "The bidness of America is bidness!" thingie.

    Good news is that the sixth recall petition of Republican ligislators was just approved, and polls show that if Feingold ran for Gove today, he'd win by 10 points.  He apparently is considering that or running for Herb Kohl's seat...  

    Don't let all the Dems off the hook yet on the budget..., okay?


    Good things may come in bad packages.

    But the dems won in 2006 & 2008 because of the utter destruction of the economy by the repubs.

    Our voters are idiots.

    But then again, I do not wish for some dictatorship either.

    hahahaha

    I just cannot get over the lies told over the last decade.

    They just amaze me.

    Yes we must do something about the economy and the debt but the damn numbers are down again for June and I am not a happy camper.

    As a matter of fact, I hate campers. hahahahah

     


    Well, you may enjoy this.   ;o)  What an asshole.


    You know it is not that Clarence Thomas is Black.

    It is that he was chosen to take the seat once held by one of the greatest jurists to ever sit on the Supreme Court of the United States.

    I had to laugh once in one of our chat rooms.

    One of my friends asked me if I was Black.

    Thurgood Marshall made me wish I were Black!

    Ha!


    I had one of those indelible moments when I heard Thurgood had died.  I was driving on Northern Blvd. in NYC, and I had to pull over cause I started crying.


    Jolly, the guy is such an intrinsic part of American and Human History!

    I laugh when conservatives attack 'black' history!

    What the hell is that?

    Thurgood was not part of 'Black' history, he was part of American History and Human History!

    Damn!

    Thurgood Marshall represented everything I love about this country!


    'black' history!

     

    No shit.  I frequently reflect on the foolishness of racists--had we not kidnapped millions of Africans and held them in bondage, we'd be cooking like the English (feh) dancing like the Scots (oy) and we wouldn't have conquered the world with rock 'n roll.

    Fact is, they have it backwards.  Black history is not a subset of American History--American History is a subset of Black History.


    We've got to have some music for the New Frontier:


    The new frontier and a brave new world. hahahah

    Oh we're gonna have a wing ding...

    FOR SURE

    hahahahahaha

     


    Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office  - ALPHA PROGRAM

    NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE IN-CUSTODY DRUG AND ALCOHOL TREATMENT PROGRAMS TODAY.

    The recidivism rate for ALPHA is 12—14%, far below the overall average of 60—70%.

    http://www.maricopa.gov/dist1/alpha%20brochure.pdf

    PLANNING AHEAD FOR THE NEW ERA!

    Cutting the recidivism rate; is a plan that works for the New era.


    Sometimes Resistance, you give me such hope that the message of the Christ might someday be heard.

    The Son of Man is what he called himself.

    If the True Message might somehow to be heard!

    Great Link as always!


    WOO HOO, by treating 270 out of 40,000 county prisoners Holy Joe saved $2.5 million a year, while misusing over $80 million!


    You should tell the whole story, NCD .

    The board of supervisors tried to defund Sheriff Joe, who by the way is an elected servant of the people.

    Imagine, you’re as shady as the claims suggest, about Stapley and Mary Rose Wilcox, who had no love for the Sheriff and would prefer he fail, so someone more amenable to their whims and causes, might replace the popular Sheriff. Maybe someone they could put on their leash?  

    So what Joe did; was come through the back door and he spent the money they tried to withhold from his office.

    The People of Maricopa County wanted the sheriff to do his job, and the Supervisors by cutting his funding, tired to enfeeble his enforcement efforts.

    Same old BS the Congress plays, when a program is passed over the objections of the opponents of the bill, the opponents do all they can to cut the funding. With no money, the sheriff is neutered and in the eyes of the constituents the Sheriff failed to do his job. Without funding the programs the Sheriff would wish to implement will fail.

    The supervisors wanted Joe to fail. Despite the continued support from his constituents and because Joe served his constituents rather than the supervisors, the atmosphere in Maricopa County was one of revenge.

    The sheriff requesting money to support worthwhile programs while the Supervisors telling him to F himself.

    Then to in order to stop the infighting between the Republicans, A Republican Judge is appointed to save the Republican Party under the guise of doing the right thing for Maricopa County.

    The charges were dropped against the Supervisors, for the good of Maricopa County…..BULL

    Now emboldened, Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox from a safe Hispanic district, can claim the sheriff misused, rather than admit she was complicit in withholding money from the sheriff, so she could serve her constituency.  

    It’s all about perspective and who was able to CTA.

    The Republicans circled the wagons and the Sheriff was thrown under the bus (a bus purchased by RICO money, and the supervisors were pissed the Sheriff didn’t ask the supervisors permission; they wanted ALL the money, so they could get reelected) the sheriff thrown under the bus  for the good of the party  for the good of Maricopa County.

    Good for the Supervisors the more they can discredit Joe. Great for Supervisor Wilcox; the champion of illegals; always trying to enfeeble the immigration enforcement laws; always trying to keep the sheriffs office broke in order to enfeeble him.     


    Spare me the puff pieces on Joe Arpaio, the guy and his former attorney Thomas have a history of abuse of power, and have paid and have pending tens of millions of lawsuits for that abuse:

    PHOENIX - Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is known by many for his tough stance on illegal immigration, but what you might not know is the number of lawsuits his office has faced and how much it has cost taxpayers:

    According to Maricopa County Risk Management records, almost 6,300 claims and lawsuits have been filed against Sheriff Arpaio and his office since he began as sheriff in 1993.

    The cost to defend those cases has been more than $50 million.

    Part of that $50 million has gone to defend more than 5,000 cases which were closed with no payout to the plaintiff.

    But of the total 6,300 case, there have been 1,828 lawsuits against the sheriff's office, according to a national lawsuit database.

    To put that into perspective, the ABC15 Investigators also searched Harris County in Texas which includes Houston. Harris County is almost the same size in population to Maricopa County.

    There are only 283 lawsuits listed under the Harris County Sheriff's Office for the same 17 year period. Maricopa County has about six times more.

    Arpaio is even not above using his office to indict political opponents as a means of blackmail or to ruin their reputations, his case against Democrat Board of Supervisors Mary Rose Wilcox was thrown out. Judge dismisses Arpaio trumped up charges against Democrat and county supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox, Feb, 2010, the transfer of the case from Arpaio to Gila County resulted in the dismissal of the case in its entirety as noted:

    PHOENIX – On Jan. 18, Gila County Attorney Daisy Flores announced her office will not pursue the public corruption charges against Maricopa County Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox initiated last year by former Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas and Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

    Wilcox was indicted on charges of forgery, false swearing, and perjury, in addition to 18 felony conflict-of-interest counts, as well as failure to disclose a $450,000 loan from the Community Bank of Nevada in 2005.

    After a judge determined Thomas’ office had a conflict of interest in prosecuting the case, it was transferred to Flores’ office for review.

    Wilcox and her husband Earl filed a notice of claim against the county for $4.75 million in May, stating this investigation was devastating to their family over the past two years.



     East Valley Tribune Response times, arrest rates, investigations and other routine police work throughout Maricopa County have suffered over the past two years as Sheriff Joe Arpaio turned his already short-handed and cash-strapped department into an immigration enforcement agency.

    Cash strapped,  because the Supervisors wanted to make sure the Sheriff was cash strapped.

    The conflict occurred, because the Supervisors didn’t want to do the will of the Maricopa County voters who elected Joe to office.

    The supervisors thought they should control, a duly elected servant of the people, the people who elected Joe, wanted him to enforce the immigration laws.

    The people in there wisdom elect the Sheriff; they don’t leave the choice of who is Sheriff to corrupt politicians.  

    The corrupt politicians don’t like an independent Sheriff, so they make sure he's cash strapped.


    What a piece of work that Wilcox, sues Maricopa county for $4.75 million after she is let off by a questionable judge. 

    Who's supposed to pay the $4.75M to the Wilcox', Maricopa County? And you think Sheriff Joe cost Maricopa County

    Power corrupts absolutely and absolute power in the hands of a corrupt supervisor.is terrible and unjust

    Wilcox, husband charged for razing historical home

    “Political strategists and public relations experts say Mary Rose's years of public service will trump this incident”.

    (CORRUPUTION ASSURED HER SERVICE TRUMPED THIS INCIDENT)

    Anyone else would have received a different justice.

    Another incident in a pattern of corruption

    A SWEETHEART DEAL FOR A CHILIS FRANCHISE AT THE AIRPORT.

    (Who wouldnt want a franchise at the Airport)

    Contracts for 'disadvantaged': Wilcox's deal at Sky Harbor raises questions

    “Wilcox and her husband, former state legislator and ex-justice of the peace Earl Wilcox, have become tied into an arrangement at Sky Harbor International Airport that reeks of favoritism”

    • Host International appears to have loaned at least $450,000 to the Wilcoxes in 2004 at the start of their “joint venture” partnership — a violation of city rules that require DBE partners to provide their own financing. Within seven months, the county supervisor reported earnings of $113,000 on her 30 percent ownership share of the Chili's franchise.
    • The original arrangement required the Wilcoxes to do little more than attend periodic meetings. E-mails among Phoenix minority-business compliance officers depict months of frustration as they try pushing the Wilcoxes toward minimal compliance with the law.
    • While most DBE agreements at Sky Harbor's terminals appear to be with qualified business owners, a disturbing number of the minority business owners at the airport are people with well-established political ties to Phoenix City Hall, the Governor's Office and other local centers of political influence.
    • 

    Corruption?

    For $450,000.00 Chilis got into the airport and for $113,000.00 dollars every 7 months could it be, it buys you a Supervisor? Boy something stinks here No wonder the Sheriff tried to break this up.

    No wonder they tried to prevent an investigation, by going after Thomas and Joe?  

    "Call our media friends, slander Joe, call him a racist , just get him off the trail. 

    Make it all about Joes illegal immigration sweeps, change the subject  

    Portray Mary Wilcox as the victim of that mean ol Joe, he's only going after her because of her immigration stance.  .

    Sheriff Joe tried to investigate and because the Wilcox’s have powerful friends the case was dismissed, and that’s what the people in Maricopa County believe.

    Of course the people can’t boot her out of office; her overwhelming Hispanic constituent district protects her, because she defends them from JOE.   

    The majority of Maricoap County believe she was saved by her connected friends again, her case dismissed, and now she wants to sue, all because Joe was forced to get off of the scent? For the good of Maricopa Counties well connected friends ?  


    ...and Arpaio is re-elected by people who think the guy is saving America by harassing hard working immigrants and people of Hispanic origin.


    Smearing good citizens of Maricopa County?

     Made by someone who doesn’t like Joe, trying to stop ILLEGAL immigration. They don’t like Joe enforcing the law; a law he swore to uphold and defend.

    I'm sure he's also sworn an oath to defend against foreign and domestic enemies.

    Yet idiots would tie his hands;

    Pray tell, how would you identify a foreign enemy if you didn’t ask for their papers?

    I suppose you believe it's written on their foreheads?

    I can hear the hand wringing now, when America gets another terrorist attack on home soil.

    "Who could have imagined the terrorists came across our southern border; Who'd a thought", NOT JANET


    Talking about a puff piece

    Wilcox was indicted on charges of forgery, false swearing, and perjury, in addition to 18 felony conflict-of-interest counts, as well as failure to disclose a $450,000 loan from the Community Bank of Nevada in 2005.

    Is that the same $450,000.00 Chilis gave her and she made $113,000.00 in 7 months

    Duh! Wonder why she failed to disclose? What a sanitized article.

    Mary Rose Wilcox the victim? She claims she's  being persecuted by Sheriff Joe because she's hispanic? Using her army of Hispanic supporters as sheilds, inviting her supporters dupes to go to the PUBLIC hearings of the Supervisor meeetings, to disrupt and awe the council meetings demanding the "Sheriff be run out of Dodge"  Screaming and dsrupting'  screaming "the racist sherifff must go"  

    He's interupting our businesses, the Commerce Chamber said. "We dont need the Feds coming and snooping into our hiring practices"

    "We need these hard working immigrants so we can make more profits" said the other restaurant shopkeepers. "Run this Sheriff out of town they said"    

    The Town leaders asking one another "Dont we have some friends in the justice department to put some pressure on this independant Sheriff" maybe a few friendly Judges, then maybe then the sheriff will take the hint "get out of town"

    "Save the taxpayers money Sheriff, wont you leave "?

    This article is part of the campaign to discredit Joe, hoping he'll leave.

    Like some old Western movie

    Some within the group began to say" We tried to get you to leave on your own Sheriff, now youve left us no choice?" 

    About that time, they brought in the hired guns of the Feds.

    We've all seen this movie before.   A good, sometimes bumbling Sheriff, who interfered with the town leaders business arrangements
