THE NEW TENANTS OF THE WHITE<br />
HOUSE - A PYRRHIC VICTORY FOR<br />
THE MASSES.<br />
Well here we go aga<strong>in</strong>, President-elect Donald<br />
Trump now exists and lots of good people<br />
are devastated. In large part because so<br />
many people seemed <strong>to</strong> dismiss all that Hillary<br />
has done for this <strong>nation</strong> over the years.<br />
And clung <strong>to</strong> anyth<strong>in</strong>g negative said about<br />
her, while anyth<strong>in</strong>g our President-elect said,<br />
no matter how nasty, was ignored or even<br />
defended. So let face facts, words and deeds<br />
are not used <strong>to</strong> judge the character of a person,<br />
but rather it’s the k<strong>in</strong>d and size of their<br />
junk between their legs.<br />
This is a symp<strong>to</strong>m of growth, we have now<br />
entered the teenage era of our <strong>nation</strong>, rant<strong>in</strong>g<br />
and rav<strong>in</strong>g, ups and downs and when th<strong>in</strong>gs<br />
go wrong they tell their parents “I wish I<br />
was dead. That will fix you.” This time they<br />
said “I will vote for the greater of two evils<br />
that will make you listen <strong>to</strong> us.” Well we are<br />
listen<strong>in</strong>g, but only <strong>to</strong> try <strong>to</strong> outsmart you or<br />
educate you because really, the majority of<br />
the US needs some discipl<strong>in</strong>e.<br />
beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g he would not enlist th<strong>in</strong>kers and<br />
scientist but bus<strong>in</strong>essmen, but not bus<strong>in</strong>ess<br />
women. Perhaps Forrest Lucas, the 74-yearold<br />
co-founder of oil products company<br />
Lucas Oil, as a <strong>to</strong>p contender for <strong>in</strong>terior<br />
secretary, Drill baby drill. Next up will likely<br />
be Goldman Sach’s Steven Mnuch<strong>in</strong> as Treasury<br />
secretary? How do you th<strong>in</strong>k they will<br />
advance <strong>in</strong>come equality? Mnuch<strong>in</strong> has also<br />
been accused of “allegedly” profit<strong>in</strong>g of the<br />
2008 f<strong>in</strong>ancial crisis by throw<strong>in</strong>g old people<br />
and m<strong>in</strong>orities out on the street.<br />
But as we saw <strong>in</strong> his vic<strong>to</strong>ry dance, it will<br />
likely <strong>in</strong>clude Newt G<strong>in</strong>grich, Rudy Giuliani,<br />
and Chris Christie. Well that is if Chris<br />
Christie is himself not <strong>in</strong>dicted, but will that<br />
matter?<br />
All of whom are be<strong>in</strong>g considered for <strong>to</strong>p<br />
posts. A handful of Republican politicians<br />
may also make the cut <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g Sen. Bob<br />
Corker for secretary of State or Sen. Jeff Sessions<br />
for secretary of Defense. Sessions is<br />
opposed <strong>to</strong> any path for legal citizenship for<br />
undocumented immigrants and is <strong>in</strong> favor of<br />
Trump’s plan <strong>to</strong> build a wall on the Southern<br />
border.<br />
But you did it. You did not break the glass<br />
ceil<strong>in</strong>g like we asked, you broke the w<strong>in</strong>dshield<br />
These are powerful men with big ambition<br />
<strong>in</strong> the car! How do you expect us <strong>to</strong> that have occupied the GOP right <strong>in</strong> front of<br />
get you <strong>to</strong> band practice now? You <strong>to</strong>o will our eyes, each have been long term second<br />
pay for this mess and you will be ask<strong>in</strong>g us <strong>to</strong> str<strong>in</strong>g politicians charged <strong>to</strong> do the dirty<br />
help fix it for you. Here are some questions work so that others may succeed, but now<br />
for you <strong>to</strong> ponder while you wait for your they have the playbook and they won’t be<br />
punishment <strong>to</strong> unfold, and remember we will giv<strong>in</strong>g that up so soon. As Michael More<br />
still care for you but you have tied our hands says “These are the Molo<strong>to</strong>v Cocktails that<br />
this time.<br />
voters, the 99%, have hurled at the White<br />
So smarty pants who do you th<strong>in</strong>k will be<br />

THE ART OF THE EMOJI<br />
If you have a cell phone you have probably<br />
used an emoji. The small yellow circles on<br />
the page that conta<strong>in</strong>s the letters, numbers,<br />
and punctuation symbols used <strong>in</strong> your text<br />
messages are the emoji’s.<br />
The emoji came was <strong>in</strong>vented <strong>in</strong> the late<br />
1990’s <strong>in</strong> Japan by a man named Shigetaka<br />
Kurita. He worked with a teem employed<br />
by the DoCOMo corporation <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong><br />
mobile communications. Dur<strong>in</strong>g the early<br />
mid 1990’s prior <strong>to</strong> the mobile phone,<br />
people <strong>in</strong> Japan had pagers called Pocket<br />
Bells. There was one symbol, the heart on<br />
this devise that was very popular, especially<br />
among young people. When a new version<br />
of the Pocket Bell was <strong>in</strong>troduced it did not<br />
<strong>in</strong>clude the heart symbol. This brought an<br />
outcry threaten<strong>in</strong>g people <strong>to</strong> drop the use<br />
of the Pocket Bell. At that po<strong>in</strong>t DoCOMo<br />
decided <strong>to</strong> work on a new graphic project<br />
<strong>to</strong> <strong>in</strong>crease the use of symbols.<br />
figures for food, dr<strong>in</strong>k, moods and feel<strong>in</strong>gs<br />
and the weather. Then he designed<br />
the “heart” symbol for love. Now there<br />
are over a thousand emoji characters and<br />

JERSEY’S JOURNAL by jersey Shore<br />
Freedom of speech? It’s <strong>in</strong> the constitution.<br />
Right? Then you say certa<strong>in</strong> words<br />
and because one person doesn’t like<br />
those words, then you must submit an<br />
apology or expla<strong>in</strong> your reason<strong>in</strong>g? Fuck<br />
no! If I said it, it’s out there. There is<br />
noth<strong>in</strong>g you can do but accept it. If it was<br />
a drunken mistake, then it was a mostly<br />
true mistake. We all make mistakes. Get<br />
over it. We all say th<strong>in</strong>gs out of anger or<br />
other emotions.<br />
I f<strong>in</strong>d it <strong>in</strong>credibly idiotic that a famous<br />
person says someth<strong>in</strong>g hateful or just a<br />
quote that one damn person doesn’t like,<br />
and they must apologize? No. If I said<br />
someth<strong>in</strong>g and I really regretted it, then<br />
I will apologize. But just <strong>to</strong> tame others<br />
reactions? No. Back off and move on.<br />
What about the other HALF who agree<br />
with my statement? Now you are <strong>in</strong> a<br />
hypocritical area. You CAN’T please<br />
everyone, so don’t bother try<strong>in</strong>g. I am<br />
true <strong>to</strong> myself, true <strong>to</strong> my convictions,<br />
true blue. I won’t apologize for that. That<br />
is what makes me, me. My words, my<br />
convictions, my actions. They are m<strong>in</strong>e<br />
and you are go<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> have <strong>to</strong> deal with it.<br />
Like I do with yours.<br />
With an upcom<strong>in</strong>g election, now is the<br />
time for MANY, MANY, MANY different<br />
op<strong>in</strong>ions. Op<strong>in</strong>ions that anger people.<br />
You all need <strong>to</strong> get over that, push it<br />
aside and accept people for their many<br />
other qualities. We have many qualities<br />
because we are human. No one is ever<br />
go<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> be 100% on board with you, so<br />
just let the th<strong>in</strong>gs you don’t like tag along<br />
<strong>in</strong> the d<strong>in</strong>gy.<br />
Peace, Love, and Op<strong>in</strong>ions,<br />

THE LAST WORD by Greg Pettis<br />
When u read this we will know if our<br />
country moves forward progressively<br />
or back <strong>to</strong> the 1800’s and I move <strong>to</strong><br />
our sister city <strong>in</strong> Tequila, Jalisco<br />
One th<strong>in</strong>g for certa<strong>in</strong> I will be thrilled<br />
<strong>to</strong> s<strong>to</strong>p gett<strong>in</strong>g fundrais<strong>in</strong>g emails<br />
(and I am sure folks will be happy <strong>to</strong><br />

work be<strong>in</strong>g done <strong>in</strong> Cathedral City<br />
- Date Palm and Cathedral Canyon,<br />
and soon work will beg<strong>in</strong> on the<br />
Ramon Road and Cathedral Canyon<br />
bridges. Keep an eye on discover<br />
cathedral city.com for traffic updates.<br />
In Palm Spr<strong>in</strong>gs various hous<strong>in</strong>g projects<br />
are be<strong>in</strong>g discussed and voted on<br />
by the council. Palm Spr<strong>in</strong>gs will also<br />
be discuss<strong>in</strong>g allow<strong>in</strong>g marijuana cultivation<br />
facilities - I’m sure that will<br />
<strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong>dustrial property values.<br />
Rancho Mirage cont<strong>in</strong>ues <strong>to</strong> be recalcitrant<br />
on CVL<strong>in</strong>k, even try<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong><br />

Survey question for residents of PS,<br />
CC and DHS - Should the cities look<br />
at consolidation of public safety services<br />

know.<br />
