Welcome!

SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN !

Big Al
August 7, 2014

You may
remember Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona, who
painted the jail cells pink and made the inmates
wear pink prison garb.
Well………

SHERIFF
JOE IS AT IT AGAIN !

 

Oh, there’s MUCH
more to know about Sheriff Joe !

 
Maricopa County was spending approx. $18
million dollars a year on stray animals, like
cats and dogs. Sheriff Joe offered to take the
department over, and the County Supervisors said
okay.

 

The animal shelters are now all
staffed and operated by prisoners. They feed and
care for the strays. Every animal in his care is
taken out and walked twice daily. He now has
prisoners who are experts in animal nutrition
and behavior. They give great classes for anyone
who’d like to adopt an animal. He has literally
taken stray dogs off the street, given them to
the care of prisoners, and had them place in dog
shows.
The
best part? His budget for the entire department
is now under $3 million. Teresa and I adopted a
Weimaraner from a Maricopa County shelter two
years ago. He was neutered and current on all
shots, in great health, and even had a microchip
inserted the day we got him. Cost us $78.

 
The prisoners get the benefit of about
$0.28 an hour for working, but most would work
for free, just to be out of their cells for the
day. Most of his budget is for utilities,
building maintenance, etc. He pays the prisoners
out of the fees collected for adopted animals.

 
I have long wondered when the rest of
the country would take a look at the way he runs
the jail system and copy some of his ideas. He
has a huge farm, donated to the county years
ago, where inmates can work, and they grow most
of their own fresh vegetables and food, doing
all the work and harvesting by hand.

 

He
has a pretty good sized hog farm, which provides
meat and fertilizer. It fertilizes the Chris
tmas tree nursery, where prisoners work, and you
can buy a living Christmas tree for $6 – $8 for
the holidays and plant it later. We have six
trees in our yard from the prison.

 

Yup,
he was re-elected last year with 83% of the
vote.
Now he’s in trouble with the ACLU
again. He painted all his buses and vehicles
with a mural that has a special hotline phone
number
painted on it, where you can call and report
suspected illegal aliens. Immigrations and
Customs Enforcement wasn’t doing enough in his
eyes, so he had 40 deputies trained specifically
for enforcing immigration laws, started up his
hotline, and bought 4 new buses just for hauling
folks back to the border. He’s kind of a
‘Git-R-Dun’ kind of Sheriff.

 

TO THOSE OF
YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO..

 

HE IS
THE MARICOPA ARIZONA COUNTY SHERIFF

 

AND
HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED OVER AND
OVER.
THIS
IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY:

 

Sheriff Joe
Arpaio (in Arizona) who created the ‘Tent City
Jail’:
** He has jail meals down to 40 cents
a serving and charges the inmates for them.

 

** He stopped smoking and porno magazines in
the jail.

** Took
away their weights.

** Cut off
all but ‘G’ movies.
** He started chain
gangs so the inmates could do free work on
county and city projects.
** Then he started
chain gangs for women so he wouldn’t get sued
for discrimination.

 

** He took away
cable TV until he found out there was a federal
court order that required cable TV for jails, so
he hooked up the cable TV
again…..BUTonly let
in the Disney channel and the Weather channel.

 
** When asked why the weather channel,
he replied, “So they will know how hot it’s
gonna be while they are working on my chain
gangs.”

 

** He cut off coffee since it
has zero nutritional value.

 

** When the
inmates complained, he told them, “This isn’t
The Ritz/Carlton…… If you don’t like it,
don’t come back.”

More
On The Arizona Sheriff:

 

With
temperatures being even hotter than usual in
Phoenix (116 degrees just set a new record), the
Associated Press reports:
About 2,000
inmates living in a barbed-wire-surrounded tent
encampment at the Maricopa County jail have been
given permission to strip down to their
government-issued
pink boxer shorts.

 
On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing
boxers were either curled up on their bunk beds
or chatted in the tents, which reached 138
degrees inside the week before.

 

Many
were also swathed in wet, pink towels as sweat
collected on their chests and dripped down to
their PINK SOCKS.

 

“It feels like we are
in a furnace,” said James Zanzot, an inmate who
has lived in the TENTS for 1 year. “It’s
inhumane.”

 

Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy
sheriff who created the tent city and long ago
started making his prisoners wear pink and eat
bologna sandwiches, is not one bit sympathetic.
He said Wednesday that he told all of the
inmates, “It’s 120 degrees in Iraq and our
soldiers are living in tents too, and they have
to wear full battle gear, but they didn’t commit
any crimes, so shut your mouths!”

 

Way to
go, Sheriff !

 

Maybe if all prisons were
like this one there would be a lot less crime
and/or repeat offenders. Criminals should be
punished for their crimes – not live in luxury
until it’s time for their parole, only to go out
and commit another crime so they can get back in
to live on taxpayers’ money and enjoy things
taxpayers can’t afford to have for themselves.

    Sheriff Joe also had a team investigate Obama’s birth certificate, and of course that team determined that it was a complete fraud.

    Sheriff Joe should run for president!!!!!

      JOHN I AGREE WITH YOUR STATEMENT……………

      It is clear that Sheriff Joe is one of the finest and the ablest public servant in the country. Yes, he would make a great president !!

      But USA of today is looking for a rockstar / idol in president. They found Obozo. USA of today is too stupid to have a man like this to be the president.

    People on welfare should work as well or they lose their benefits. One of my pet peeves are sidewalks covered with splotches of bubble gum, they could be given these types of jobs cleaning public areas.

      the bubble gum was most likely deposited on the sidewalk by the welfare person to begin with……..bad idea, go back to the drawing board……………………

        Aug 07, 2014 07:57 PM

        Jerry, how about graffiti removal that doesn’t include bubble gum or is that a bad idea as well. My point is don’t give an able bodied person money unless they do something for society.

          DT…..YOU know I am just joking with you………….But, I bet the welfare person’s kids are writing the graffiti on the walls………….

            Aug 07, 2014 07:05 PM

            Yes Jerry, we need to fine the kids and make the parents pay, but they can’t because they are all working for the government.

    Aug 07, 2014 07:13 PM

    Jerry, I think Irish must work for The UK government because he only posts when he feels they aren’t watching but he can’t escape.

    I don’t think Harper understands foreign policy but he really appeals to me more than Justin Trudeau who I think has trouble placing one foot in front of the other to keep from falling over.

      Aug 07, 2014 07:38 PM

      Justin Trudeau is a joke. I still can’t believe people take him seriously. Take away the name and he’s nothing. Anyhow, I believe the sanctions are going to come and haunt us down the road. The economy is not on equal footing to begin with; it won’t take much to blow the house of cards off the table. The majority of provinces are toast, and those that are doing alright will not be able to pick up the slack.

        Aug 07, 2014 07:51 PM

        The public at large, however knows little and cares less about what is happening behind the scenes. Sanctions are much worse than a tariff war which has always led to higher prices. If you want to kill industry start a tariff war if you want to kill an economy impose sanctions. Putin is running the risk in his country of bolshevism and we could see The Dirty Thirties with line ups because people are desperate to survive.

    Aug 07, 2014 07:23 PM

    What is happening these days is truly bizarre, if you watch The Twilight Zone from the late 1950’s they try to warn earthlings of life beyond our realm. Maybe we have been infiltrated Jerry for one seems to be an enigma, Whoooooooooooooooooo!

    Sorry Jerry I know you are down to earth but what other explanation can anyone come up with these days, I am interested in hearing.

      Well DT………in order to say anything that I believe what is going on …is to quote scripture and that would appear to be upsetting to the crowd, and only lead to controversy.

    I applaud Obama’s airdrop of food and water this morning in Iraq.

    http://www.news.com.au/world/president-obama-approves-air-strikes-emergency-airlift-of-supplies-to-iraqs-northern-states/story-fndir2ev-1227017533998?from=public_rss

    It is a pity, however, that another approx 200 women and girls were captured yesterday for use by the ISIS fighters. Also a couple of days ago ISIS released another video showing decapititation of about 100 Peshmerga POWs they had captured; with the statement “that anyone who fights against ISIS will be killed”.

    It is not very surprising, therefore, that Khurdish resistance against ISIS appears to have almost disappeared.
    The ISIS barbarian jihadists need to be eliminated from the face of the earth, in my humble opinion. (They are sub-human) ….Satisfy their desire to meet Allah!
    In 2005 there were 1.3million Christians in Iraq; now less than 100,000 and ISIS is determined to reduce that number to ZERO.
    Obama’s actions will come in as too little, too late.
    I may not be a christian, but I ferventently believe everyone has the right to their own beliefs, AS LOMG AS THEY DO NOT INTERFERE WITH THE HUMAN RIGHTS OF OTHERS.

    I hate to use RussiaTelevision as an authoritative source, but perhaps they are valid when talking about Russia.

    I hope the US does not go to war over Ukraine.
    The US will lose!

    Noticed some conversation about Harper and Trudeau,
    I have noticed the word “shame” being used more often when talking of Harper, due to his support of Israel I believe.
    His corruption has gotten obvious to more people than generally would notice, from his “I wont touch the income trusts” to the RCMP investigating conservatives.
    Its possible that people are realising Harper is an American puppet, most Canadians would prefer otherwise, many times the description is “harpers lips are tattooed to Obamas a@@”

    The positive with Justin is he is not Harper, altho people might have disagreed with his father people still understand Justin was raised by a patriot.
    His stand to legalise marijuana is an indication he has a little common sense I believe and is maybe in “tune” with the population and times.
    If we are run by banks it doesn’t matter who gets elected, but with the liberals at least “pot” gets legalised as opposed to lives being destroyed because of it.
    Maybe there is a chance that Canada stops opposing Russia for example, where as with Harper, Canada is lucky not to become another state.
    Guess which way Im voting. lol

    Aug 08, 2014 08:24 AM

    bb, I think you nailed Harper’s personality to a tee, but Trudeau is just too young and inexperienced and he is also part of a political machine that has huge problems when they elect a leader. Do you remember Ignatieff, the ex-pat. Trudeau needs to prove himself instead of riding on his father’s past and the coattails of card carrying liberal idiots. I don’t think he has proven himself and for his party to make him the leader smacks of governmental patronage.

    You could be right DT, about all of it, but he isn’t Harper.
    That could be his greatest asset.
