2nd street around the corner or at the Civic Auditorium lot down on Main st.


THE LAST WORD by Greg Pettis

Well, this week our Prez has brought us to the

point of WWIII and this time it will be nuclear.

He thinks he had swat North Korea and have their

little dictator back down but either can’t remember

or doesn’t care that China shares a northern

border with North Korea and is still their sponsor

state. Also, any nuclear attack on Pyongyang

would have fall out in; China, South Korea, Japan,

Guam, Russia and several other nations.

Watching him and the North Korean leader on

television this week is akin to a fight of pygmies

arguing about whose dick is bigger! No offense to

pygmies.

Even a conventional attack would spark retaliation,

either against us in Guam or more likely

our allies in South Korea. Lest we forget we have

20,000+ soldiers stationed in South Korea. Any

attack would also create a massive refugee problem

for both China and the US.

He ended the week announcing he won’t rule out

military action in Venezuela! What is wrong with

this man? He had somewhere between 3-5 deferments

from the draft during Vietnam, never served,

never put on a uniform, and somehow thinks we

can deploy our military EVERYWHERE! We are

already too deep in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq and

god knows where else. And this from a man who

campaigned against President Obama for foreign

policy. A man who won the Nobel Peace Prize!

the election – ooops! Former campaign manager

Paul Manafort’s house is raided in a predawn raid

by the FBI! Plus, TWO grand juries have now

been empaneled. More search warrants to come

and indictments not too far away.

Oh, and I almost forgot, he is now tweeting attacks

on the Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell.

From his own party! Told him to get back to work

– all the while he was on the golf course in New

Jersey on his “working vacation”.

Am I alone or is it time to say – Donald Trump –

YOU ARE FIRED!

Labor Day there will be a Resistance Rally at the

Cathedral City Town Square Park by the Civic

Center. It will be from 5:30pm – 7:00pm and feature

speakers from local and county government,

education, healthcare, environment and more.

There will even be kid’s activities so folks can bring

the family. Come join us as the valley says NO to

Donald Trump and his regressive policies!

Well, that’s it for this week. Keep moving forward

and RESISTING!

What an A-hole! I was raised to respect the President

of the United States. I disagreed vehemently

with George Bush, George W. Bush, Ronald

Reagan and yes even at times the Democrats, but

always respected them and their office. In just 200

days this clown has destroyed that.

Greg Pettis is a 22 year city councilman in

Cathedral City. Greg was the first openly

gay elected city council members In Riverside

County. He has served on the boards

of the National League of Cities and the

League of California Cities and as President

of the Southern CA Association of

Governments.

And if he thought all this bluster would divert

attention from his troubles with Robert Mueller

and the investigation(s) into Russia meddling in

#1 NIKE SF AIR FORCE 1 MID QS

$170.00 Nike.com

Transcending foot coverage since

1982, this once hoops shoe was

named after Air Force One—

the aircraft that carries the U.S.

President. Today the Air Force 1 stays

true to its roots with soft, springy

cushioning and a massive midsole,

but the Nike Air technology takes

a backseat to the shoe’s status as an

icon.

#2 Siggy Large Laptop Backpack by

Kipling

$89.00 kipling-usa.com

With pockets for all of your

essentials, the Siggy Large Laptop

Backpack makes it easy to ace

organization in style. Front zip

pocket, two side slip pockets, and

interior zip pocket and slip pockets

are designed to keep everything

organized and easy to access.

#3 Pokémon Gallery Figure:

Umbreon—Dark Pulse

$16.99 Pokemoncenter.com

This Umbreon Gallery Figure is

making the most of its Dark Pulse

move—its fur is standing on end, and

it is surrounded by dark energies!

You can add this finely sculpted

figure to your collection today.

#4 Adidas Osaka Shorts

$35.00 adidas.com

Built to make a big splash, these

men’s swim shorts stand out with

an allover oversize polka dot print.

They’re styled with an inner mesh

brief for comfort and finished with

two side pockets. A drawcord at the

waist secures the fit.

21st annual HRC National

Dinner, which will be held

on Saturday, October 28,

2017. Once again our only

hope.

The Human Rights Campaign is the leading

national advocacy organization working

for the equal rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual,

transgender, and queer Americans through

education, research, and political activities.

The HRC National Dinner brings together

nearly 4,000 HRC members, friends, family,

and allies for an evening of celebration and

inspiration. Featuring a cocktail reception,

an extensive silent and live auction,

an elegant dinner, live entertainment, and

thought-provoking speakers and guests, the

HRC National Dinner attracts the nation’s

top figures in entertainment and politics..

Everywhere you travel, The Human Rights

Campaign logo is the most prevalent

symbol of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender

and queer community.

The Human Rights Campaign Fund was

founded by Steve Endean in 1980 as one

of the first gay and lesbian political action

committee in the United States. The Fund’s

mission was to provide financial support on

behalf of the gay and lesbian community to

political candidates who supported gay civil

rights legislation. Vic Basile served as the

Fund’s first executive director.

The Fund quickly rose to prominence – after

its first election cycle in 1982, the Fund

was the 17th largest independent political

action committee in the United States.

Today we find ourselves cut adrift by an

administration that does not hold the same

moral convictions to support the LGBT

community and many other ideals we once

cherished. Today violence and hate seem to

be part of this administration.

If you or someone you know is struggling

to comprehend the results and is in need of

assistance, here are several LGBTQ-friendly

resources:

crisis intervention and suicide prevention

lifeline for LGBTQ people ages 13 to 24.

JERSEY’S JOURNAL by jersey Shore

Is it me or has this town gotten

scummier. I know scummier isn’t

the first choice of words for an adult

piece, but scummier. It’s a word, I

think.

I’ve been performing out here

for way over a decade and I don’t

remember this town feeling all corrupt

with wanna be Palm Springs

personalities. With their seven

smelly costumes and a whopping five

numbers in their performance bag.

Funny how my phone knows the

next word, which was millennials.

They think they are taking over?

Fuck no. Because you can do the

overrated death drop? Yawn girls. So,

all that leaves you with is excruciating

back pain in your forties.

I love the girls who wrap shredded

material around themselves and

poof, a black bodysuit is disguised.

It’s magic folks.

won’t have it. Go suck somewhere

else. It gets exhausting.

Why are memories from the past the

best it was? The best should be now.

We are a classy mature crowd. Are

we not?

Peace, Love and Humanity,

Jersey

Follow Jersey Shore on Facebook!

Let’s talk about the talentless at war

with the other talentless, who can

do nothing but looking the most

stupid at doing it. Congratulations.

THE ROBERT E. LEE STATUE HOW ART CAN INFLU-

ENCE AND EDUCATE

The bronze statue of Robert E. Lee was

unveiled in 1924 in Charlottesville, Virginia.

This event was attended heavily by the

Sons of the Confederacy as part of their

annual reunion. The statue was donated

and by Paul Mcintire a philanthropist and

part time resident of Charlottesville when

he wasn’t occupied making money on Wall

Street.

Henry Shrady was the primary artist

involved in the creation of the 26-foot

high statue he won a competition entered

in 1902 with Edward Casey, an architect.

The completion of the statue took nearly

20 years in which Shrady participated in

studying the biological structure of the

horse and other sculpturing techniques.

Shrady died in 1922 before the statue was

completed. The work was finalized with finishing

touches by the sculptor Leo Lentellli

who was noted for other imposing political

sculptures.

other artifacts. They should not be venerated

as an ideal to continue. The generals

of the Civil War were traitors. They were

defending slavery, divisiveness, hatred, and

greed. The White Supremest activists and

individuals following this movement are

destructive to society and to the country in

general. Unfortunately. the United States

has elected a president who promotes and

supports the premise of these hate groups.

The only remedy for the tragedy of Trump

is impeachment and removal from office.

After the events in Charlottesville over the

weekend hopefully, people will begin to

realize the the dangerous mistake that has

been made with the hate mongering Trump

and the haters and bigots that support him

can soon be designated to a negative period

of United States history.

Questions, comments, suggestions, contact

- adamsartexpose@gmail.com

The statue was over a week delayed in

arriving by train at Charlotteville. Waiting

to be unveiled it was covered by a giant

confederate flag. From the very beginning

of the planning of this statue, it had been

a divisive undertaking. The Civil War had

been fought 40 years prior and emotions

were still frail regarding the events of the

war. What has evolved during the past

century is a realization that inequality and

racism are not acceptable. The icons of the

Confederacy have become symbols of hate

and division. Putting them into museums

and other places where they can be seen as

educational tools representing an era that

should not be repeated, is a useful way to

maintain the artistic value of sculptures and

Curry Mendes Art Photography

Exhibition at University of

California Riverside – Palm Desert

“Art Photography Project: A

Moment in Time”

August 18th, 2017 (6pm – 8pm) one

night only

Held at University of California,

Riverside-Palm Desert Ext.

75080 Frank Sinatra Blvd., Palm

Desert, CA

Palm Springs, Ca. - Award winning artist,

Curry Mendes, is pleased to announce the

opening of “Art Photography Project: A

moment in time”. An avant-garde photography

exhibition that celebrates Palm Springs

and its residents. The powerful imagery

captures over 70 Palm Springs residents

who ventured to be exposed to his peering

lens and let their personal stories be told

through dramatic black & white portraiture

– one moment at a time.

Originally hailing from the New York City

art scene, Curry Mendes has called Palm

Springs home for the past nine years. Mr.

Mendes has been painting and shooting

photography, both commercially and artistically

for the past twenty five years and

portraiture is his passion. Prominent Palm

Springs restauranteurs and art collectors,

Jerry & Barbara Keller, share their collection

of Curry’s portraiture work in their establishments

which can be seen on public display

at LuLu’s California Bistro and Acqua

California Bistro.

“Photographs are time capsules in a frame.

As a portrait photographer, my objective is

to tell an emotionally in-depth story that

truly captures that moment in time as if the

art were an archive of emotion. As a writer

uses words to tell a story, I utilize composition,

gestures, positioning, color, lighting

and balance to expose viewers to a captured

and archived moment in time.

The show was specifically designed as an

Avant-Garde art photography project to

emphasize the fleeting moments of memories

which we like to hold on to which is

the reasoning of a one night only exhibition.

The participants will not see their portraits

until the reveal which will be the evening of

the event.”
