Party Over: Hippies Arrested

I have to give credit to Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa this morning. He finally acted like he was the Mayor of Los Angeles. It only took him two months to do it, too.

My mind was spinning over the new, stunning hypocrisy from Villaraigosa. Thirty years ago, he would have been one of the troublemakers. Now, he was the one ordering them arrested.

LAPD moved in with massive force. Over 1,400 officers in riot gear swept the City Hall lawn and removed all the dirty hippies. There was a firestorm on social media, as Facebook and Twitter lit up with millions of users here in Los Angeles who were interested in the event.

Somebody mentioned to me that the Conservatives I know were being a little mean-spirited about it. I told this person that these dirty hippies had wasted millions of taxpayer dollars to no useful purpose. Their assembly was illegal because that City Hall park is closed from 10 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. for reasons of safety and sanitation.

Their pathetic excuses about "free speech" were all bullshit. This was a Socialist/Communist beehive of activity and no other viewpoints were allowed to participate! Community activist Zuma Dogg went down there and tried to sing the Bee Gees hit song "You Should Be Dancing" and he had people physically attacking him within 60 seconds because he was not in charge of the mob and did not have their permission to speak freely to the crowd.

The facts are evident. This rally had nothing to do with freedom or the First Amendment.

If these hippies really wanted to change the direction of society, maybe a few of them should have shown up for the 2009 Mayoral election. If they had acted in great numbers, they could have elected their fellow Socialist agitator Carlos Alvarez as Mayor.

He would have let them camp out there forever.

Hell, he would have let them run the City.

Villaraigosa 2011 = Carter 1979

With news today that the British Embassy has been stormed and burned by radical students in Tehran, I found myself noticing the similarities between our incompetent Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and our incompetent President Jimmy Carter in 1979.

Both elected leaders were confronted by the confusing actions of a leaderless, and lawless mob. Both situations dragged on for an unbearable and unreasonable length of time. Both Villaraigosa and Carter acted by showing their weakness instead of their strength. Both of them will continue to be seen as bumbling fools for the rest of their lives.

Both Villaraigosa and Carter failed to act in a decisive manner, which eventually jeopardized not only their futures as political leaders, but their inaction also continued to jeopardize law and order in general.

The Jennerjahn Solutions

What Jimmy Carter should have done is what I would have done. I would have let the Iranians know through diplomatic channels that they had three days to release the American hostages, and if they would not comply, I would address the American people on television and let them know I was going to the Congress and asking for a Declaration of War against Iran starting on the fourth day.

My televised address would have included the phrase, "The attack and kidnapping of our Embassy staff is not only an Act of War against America, it is also an Act of War against the civilized tradition of diplomacy itself."

If Iran did not comply, the missles and bombs would have been flying by the end of the week.

Would Iran risk the destruction of its cities? Difficult to say.

But this situation would never happen again... I guarantee you that.

Villaraigosa needed to have gone to the media early and declared the Occupiers to be breaking the law. He should have warned them to leave, and then used force. But he should not have given them a specific hour. Just tell them to be gone by the end of the week or something.

Then, if they didn't leave... tear gas and fire hoses.

Their protests are violating the rights of others, and continue to be a safety and sanitation issue. And Villaraigosas incompetence in handling this issue shows that he should not be elected to another political office for the rest of his life.

Villaraigosa can't be trusted to handle the looters and lawbreakers in our society...because when it comes right down to it... he's one of them.

Villaraigosa: Loser!!

I hope people who voted for him are ashamed of themselves. (I don't have that problem)

I knew this eviction was going to be a problem when they announced it ahead of time. It should have been a sudden sweep in the middle of the night. This "scheduling" of the eviction gave protesters time to build their forces.

I was down at City Hall just a few hours before the midnight deadline. I was stunned to see about 1,000 hippies on the steps of the south side of City Hall. They would need hundreds of police to move them all.

So, of course, the pansy that Villaraigosa is...it's not going to happen.

At least not tonight.

By the way...who wears a scarf... on a day when it was 82 degrees in Los Angeles?

Our Pathetic Mayor to finally evict Dirty Hippies at Midnight

This should be good.

After months of allowing protesters to blatantly violate the law, Mayor Villaraigosa has finally come to his senses. Seeing that other Mayors have had the courage to evict protesters from public property in various cities has finally made Villaraigosa realize that he is the most pathetic, and weakest Mayor in America.

Sensing jeopardy to his future political ambitions, the Mayor was forced to make a decision to evict the Occupy LA crowd from the front lawn of City Hall.

The fact that the Occupy LA crowd could never clearly explain why they were protesting didn't help their cause. Their cause was always kind of vague. Something about the world being "unfair".

I have stated before that if I had been elected Mayor in 2009, these protesters would have been gone long ago. Tear gas, fire hoses... whatever it takes. Villaraigosa allowing this to go on for two months is just pure anarchy. But that is no surprise coming from this ethically-challenged Mayor who cheated in the 2009 elections.

Securing The American Dream

Goodbye Texas

Something happened yesterday that maybe only people in the Southwest are concerned about, but it bothered me.

The University of Texas Longhorns played what might be their last game ever against the Texas A&M Aggies. The two teams played last night for the 118th time. It was a legendary matchup that had spanned generations. Now, it will be over as Texas A&M moves to switch conferences and will leave the Big 12 and play in the Southeastern Conference with Alabama, Auburn, LSU and the others starting next year.

Texas A&M is running away at high speed from the situation in the Big 12. They are not the only ones. Nebraska left last year to go to the Big Ten Conference, and Colorado left to go to the Pac-12. Missouri is leaving to go to the SEC next year, also.

Oklahoma-Nebraska was another legendary matchup that won't happen anymore.

Missouri had played Kansas for 119 years. Their rivalry was so intense it was called the "Border War", based on historical feelings about confrontations that happened between those states during the Civil War. That rivalry disappears as Missouri leaves for the SEC next year.

I like history, and I think this long term history disappearing over money is a terrible thing for our culture.

The blame can be laid directly at the feet of the University of Texas.

Successful, competitive football conferences use the NFL model and equally share revenues, guaranteeing all teams a chance to be competitive. Texas, because of its size and importance, didn't like to play by those rules. The weak little sisters of the Big 12 like Iowa State and Baylor had to take their lumps on the field... and a smaller share of revenue. It guaranteed that top teams like Texas and Oklahoma would always be on top.

Eventually, a few teams got smart and decided to leave. In 2010 and in 2011, there was a crisis as the Big 12 almost caved in, with multiple schools looking for another conference home.

Eventually, the conference may have been saved as Texas eventually gave in to equal revenue sharing... but it may be too late. The conference was badly wounded by the departure of four quality schools.

I wish this whole can of worms had never opened up. Many fans across the nation will miss these historic rivalries, which will probably never return.

I think college sports is worse off for all of this.

A Very Shatner Thanksgiving

Be safer than Bill Shatner. Have a good one today.

Go Packers!
