WARNING UNCENSORED THOUGHTS

The National Anthem and Trump

2017-10-10T10:59:00.000-07:00

Many of us are both proud to be an embarrassed to be an American. This isn’t a surprise to those of you that know me. The values I stand for are basic. They are honor, integrity, and thoughtfulness. The embarrassment comes into play due to the current political administration and its Supreme Leader, Donald Trump.

Remember those days when many travelers from our country were considered Ugly Americans? Those days are back and led by an arrogant, self-centered, egomaniacal hypocrite who thinks the world revolves around him and his family. Donald Trump, the evil essence of dogma that I have fought against most of my life.

Donald Trump has shown contempt for almost everything that our country stands for. His political hero Andrew Jackson showed his racism against native Americans. Trump has outdone Jackson in his attacks on everything and everyone that disagrees with any of his actions. Groups that have been in Trump’s crosshairs include but are not limited to; women, Hispanics, blacks, Muslims, and the NFL to name just a few. Oh, let me not forget a major group that has received his ire. That group consists of anyone that disagrees with and states he is wrong.

He claims to have a genius IQ. However, he makes statements such as Puerto Rico is an island surrounded by water. Mr. Trump (notice how I don’t say Mr. President) the basic definition of an island is a land mass surrounded by water. I could present other strange comments about him yet none of them will change the minds of his core supporters that learned that Puerto Rico is an island from the BLOTUS.

Trump’s attack on the NFL may trigger another criminal investigation into his actions as President. The law is: 18 U.S. Code § 227 - Wrongfully influencing a private entity’s employment decisions by a Member of Congress or an officer or employee of the legislative or executive branch. Look up the code for yourself. On the other hand he has suggested that kneeling during the Star Spangled Banner is illegal and unpatriotic.

On the contrary, the U.S. Code is clear in suggesting not legalizing mandatory standing during the National Anthem. No penalty exists. Even Supreme Court Justice Scalia considered protests involving the flag as a sacred part of the free speech and the first amendment. It makes me wonder if Trump isn’t getting his information from the NRA and its stand on standing for the flag? We don’t know for sure at this time since his legal advisers haven’t been seen since being caught at a cafe discussing Trump’s legal situation openly next to a reporter from the New York Times.

I honor our flag as Scalia says it should be honored. I applaud the NFL for not allowing the BLOTUS to intimidate them. Contrary to what the NRA thinks or its members may or not believe the flag is a symbol. The flag does not support our leaders. It does not represent our fallen soldiers. Our respect for the law and Constitution is far more important than a flag. The graves that we visit of those that have fallen in service to our country says so much more than our flag.

In my heart I believe that our soldiers have fought and died for what the flag represents not for the flag itself. Our soldiers fought for the rights of all. Among those rights that come to mind are Freedom of the Press, Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Speech and the freedom that allows us to stand against tyranny no matter where it is found even in the hands of POTUS. Our Constitution has been so eloquent in expressing these concepts.

Seek The Truth In The News

2016-11-13T10:54:00.000-08:00

As I look at what is occurring in our country, I have taken pause so many times. I need to say we as a nation have been led astray by numerous purported news services. That is many cable networks that purport to be news services are in fact not. Instead they are editorial services that have missions to influence not inform. Two in particular are MSNBC and FOX. MSNBC panders to the left side of the political spectrum. FOX panders to the right. This is not necessarily bad, for each side should be able to tell its own story. However, they should identify themselves for what they are OPINION networks. What the downside of this has been is that the populous uses the networks not to learn and be informed. Instead, people use these networks to justify their own personal positions. We also have numerous blogs that report things as if they were news. However, often this purported news is in fact pure unadulterated fiction and fantasy. Then without checking the facts people repost them via social media as if these fantasies are fact. It is as if people believe that the captain of the Titanic was found alive smoking his pipe in a rowboat yesterday. It appears as if our populous has allowed itself to be manipulated in order to prove his or her views. We should as citizens in a democracy seek the truth. Learning what we don’t know is more important than confirming beliefs that are based on lies, falsehoods and innuendo. An example of what I have addressed is Common Core. I have heard so many talk about how these standards apply to so many subjects it has no effect on. Let me clear up the haze. Common Core contrary to what numerous people believe only effects two subjects. These subjects are ELS also known as English Language Skills. The second and last subject involved in Common Core is Math. If you don’t believe me do your own research. It’s simple and will only take a couple of minutes. The paragraph above is an example of the truth and facts that apply to a subject. Why do so many sources misinform us? Does it matter? The point I am trying to get across is in a democracy we must take responsibility ourselves to learn the truth from original sources. My own feeling is the more I know the more I know I don’t know. What I do know is as they said on X Files: “The truth is out there.” We must seek the truth, not what politicians and media want us to believe is the truth. If you find out you have depended on information that proves to be false be true to yourself and others. Admit you were wrong. Write comments on posts that are proven to be inaccurate after your personal research. Look to yourself first to help stop the madness. Remember if it seems too good to be true it probably isn't. Realize in politics it isn't always about what you see but how you see it. It takes a brave person to admit their errors.

STOP THE MADNESS AND SUPPORT THE POLICE - THEY FACE DISRESPECT DAILY AND HANDLE UNREASONABLE HOSTILITY

2014-10-10T09:18:00.000-07:00

Over the last forty years I have had the honor as a political adviser to ride along with various organizations that protect and serve our nation and communities. Being an observer has given me a perspective seldom seen by my most people except on television. The rides have been on boats patrolling rivers, war ships such as United States Navy frigates, and squad cars. So today, forty years after my first adventure in a police squad car and a few days after my most recent ride I have some amazing things to share.

Before I ever rode in a squad car I had taken a criminal justice course in college. It was taught by the past Sheriff of a major California county. While he was teaching, he also consulted for police departments throughout the world. He was a true believer in community policing before it became popular. Community policing helps people interact in a positive manner with police departments. It encourages police and citizens to work together.

I am going to talk about one statement my instructor made that has held true throughout the years. I have heard it numerous times. Due to this statement I never drink and drive. When a police officer stops someone that he or she suspects of driving while intoxicated he almost always gets the same answer to the same question. So what is this question? It is "how many drinks have you had?" The response initially is almost always two or a couple. After interviewing numerous officers that are experts in identifying intoxicated drivers they concur ardently.

I have found throughout the years that the police officers I have rode with are more professional than they were forty years ago. They treat anyone they stop with more respect than the officers of years past. Community policing has become more and more important. However, negative changes have taken place.

The negative things that have worsened with time are not the actions of police officers but the aggressiveness of the public. More and more people exhibit a lack of respect for the police and the law. Sitting in the seat next to an officer gives one a perspective that is very unique. You are able to watch as an outsider. You are there, however, your presence is ignored by all involved. I have watched police officers drive behind someone for a mile speeding. They were doing forty-five in a twenty-five. When the stop takes place the person will say they were not speeding. The officer states the speed was posted. The speeder insists it wasn't. I personally remember passing at least four in that situation. Offenders accuse the police officer of singling them out. Few admit they did break any laws. I was able to spot the infraction without the aid of the police officer saying anything. The threats and attempts at intimidation by the offender usually follow. People threaten that they are going to report the officer to their supervisor for stopping them. This new breed of well educated officers listen and are courteous. I am not saying there are not bad police officers. I have seen some whose activities I would question. However, as rule I would say police officers of today are ninety nine percent better than their predecessors.

When it comes to hard core criminals I have seen them lie and attempt to manipulate situations. Some of these have been on probation and or parole. Just looking at them one would never suspect who or what they did. So, if a police officer asks you if you are on probation or parole it is not about you, it is about his or her safety. Officer safety is another place the police have improved. Modern well trained officers do not turn their backs on subjects. You will often see them walking backwards. They show respect even when not receiving it. An example of this professionalism would be when police officers give a ticket, they explain that the signing of the ticket is not an admission of guilt. If still verbally attacked they let the person know that they can fight the ticket in court. When people refuse to sign the ticket ,which I have also seen, the officer explains very calmly that the alternative is going to jail and appearing before the judge. It seems people change their attitude with that and thank the officer for not arresting them.

I have seen and heard people call police officers words that truly shouldn't be used by anyone when around children. Those words often come out of a car full of children learning to disrespect the officers just as their parents have. This does not mean that I don't know people just like the ones I am mentioning. One acquaintance told me he was caught speeding by a police officer on the freeway. He admitted he was in fact speeding. His son who was in the car told me that his dad had called the police officer some very unkind words after getting the ticket he deserved for driving over 85 in a 65 miles per hour speeding zone. This is a familiar situation that I have experienced numerous times sitting as an observer in police cars. The attitude displayed is, what I did wrong is not as wrong as the police officer that caught me and gave me a ticket. When will people accept responsibility for their actions? We have laws to keep people safe. We hire police officers to enforce those laws. What would you do if a police officer allowed someone to excessively speed and they hit your car and you ended up in the hospital?

I have seen officers that carry puppets and toys so that they are able to better interact with children. I have seen them in the community participating on their own time in events for children and adults. Some of them have been Santa Claus at schools and charities. Again, this is not all officers. However, more and more officers are becoming involved in the communities they live in and also the communities they police.

Not long ago I saw a young man I would guess to be around fifteen. He was riding his bicycle at night. He had no lights or reflectors. He rode right past the police officer. The officer said to the young man, "please get off your bike and walk it, you have no lights." The young man said "why?" The officer said again, "it is against the law and if you don't I will have to give you a ticket." The young man got off the bike and gave the officer a dirty look. He should have had the manners to thank the officer for not picking up the bicycle and giving him a ticket. Parents need to take some of the responsibility for this type of action as I mentioned earlier. It is often a learned behavior passed down from parent to child.

I know that all officers do not have the training or skills of the officers I have mentioned. I know that all citizens are not like the ones I have mentioned. However, as the years go on I see less and less respect for the man, the badge and the position. I see more and more people failing to accept responsibility for their actions. This is somewhat of a mirror of our society. People walking out on debts. People suing over hot coffee spilling on them when they themselves spilled it. People looking to sue for the easy dollar. Insurance companies paying even when their client is right because fighting the issue is more expensive than settling. I could go on. However, a majority of the people are good citizens. However, this "me" generation is out of control. It isn't the current phenomena that many discuss. I think it has been with us longer than one generation.

I truly don't know what is wrong with people. However, I see these events as a microcosm of what is occurring in the world. People do not want to take responsibility for their actions. They are mad at the police officer not because he is doing his job but because he caught them. This lack of respect for the law needs to stop. What would these people be like if a time warp took us back to the old days when police carried black jacks and knew nothing about psychology. What if our modern departments didn't give psychological tests to weed out those that would over react to situations? The officers I have rode with have all been very professional. I know from the news this isn't always the case.

On my first ride along with the police forty years ago, I was observing things in order to help expand and educate a city about community policing as a political adviser. We caught a drunk driver in front of the police, driving directly in front of the police station as we were on our way to patrol. Back then drunk driving did not carry the stigma nor penalties it does today. The driver we stopped was truly drunk and could not pass any FSTs. That stands for field sobriety tests. Watching him attempt to walk a straight line, close his eyes and touch his nose and balance on one foot was like watching a clown in the circus. When the officers asked him how many drinks he had, his answer was a couple. After being read his Miranda Rights and stating he understood them and had no questions, he continued to talk while the police officers continued to remind him that he had the right to remain silent. He insisted on a blood test until he saw the needle, then wanted a breath test. Then again he wanted a blood test. His final decision after trying to stall the test for as long as possible was a blood test. During this time he had now told us how he had been drinking long enough to consume at least eight beers and a couple of hard drinks. Needless to say he was very drunk.

After the test he became more and more belligerent. When we got back to the department, the police began to ask him contact information. They wanted to release him quickly to a family member. However, he cussed at the officers and refused to answer. His stubbornness gave him free room and board in the drunk tank for the night. When they asked him who they should contact in case of an emergency he answered, "My mother." What is her name the officer asked. "Mom," he replied. They then asked what is her telephone number and with various unprintable words before his statement, he answered "none of your business." They explained they would like to release him, but he didn't help.

On another ride along many years later with another department, we stopped another person who claims to have had only two drinks. This one shared information and told the officers that he was afraid of his mother's response to him being arrested. He lived with her and he was 46. It wasn't his first time in this situation. He also turned belligerent. This one tried swinging on the two officers as they worked together, as in a fine ballet, cuffing him before anyone was hurt. These two officers had been working together for some time. Not a word passed between them as the cuffing ballet so gracefully played out.

Have I seen people say I am sorry and treat police officers with respect? Yes, I have. However, as time passes it seems that the officers become more professional and respectful of the citizenry. It also seems the inverse has been occurring with the citizens. As time passes the populous seems to show less and less respect for

any type of authority. The victims of this lack of respect includes parents, teachers, and police. More and more we hear about physical fights at children's athletic events. Why is this occurring? What will happen in the future if we don't start taking responsibility for our actions? The implications reach far beyond anything discussed in this article.

WE NEED NEWS ON TELEVISION NOT EDITORIALS

2014-10-09T19:48:00.003-07:00

I understand that the situation in Hammond, Indiana regarding the police breaking the glass is frightening. However, the police waited almost 14 minutes for the people to comply. The man in the car did all the wrong things beyond complying he reached into the glove compartment and reached behind him... The man had a warrant for no drivers license and marijuana no big thing but it was a warrant because he failed to appear. Then in this situation he has no ID. However, he offers the police a ticket he received. Any bets it included but may have not been limited to no drivers license. Offering the ticket as ID is not reasonable. It has no description nor any picture. However, not complying has a lot of messages to the police in it. Commentators have been instigating more disrespect of the police. They have shown the last few seconds of the video with the police breaking the window yet the haven't shown what led up to it. It was a great day when news was news and not editorial. Give me the facts and allow me to make my own decisions. I AM NOT SAYING EITHER PARTY IS RIGHT OR WRONG. I AM SAYING THE REPORTING IS LESS THAN ADEQUATE SENSATIONALISM. I AM ALSO SAYING WE NEED TO STOP THESE VIGILANTE TRIALS BY TELEVISION COMMENTATORS. AT THIS POINT I AM SIDING WITH THE POLICE. THE FAIL TO COMPLY IS AN OFFENSE THAT SENDS A PERSON TO JAIL.

A YOM KIPPUR MESSAGE

Andrew Allan-Bentley

October 2 at 9:19pm

YOM KIPPUR MESSAGE

Yom Kippur is probably one of the most influential Jewish holidays to our people. It stands apart. The obvious reason is that we don’t eat or drink, we refrain from wearing leather and endeavor to become as close to God as possible. But, it is also a time when Jews around the world are unified for a common purpose. Even the most secular Jews who choose to work on Yom Kippur, still fast as a sign of respect and unity to our ancient traditions. What is it about this day that is so special?

An answer to this question can be found in the “zochreinu” prayer we begin reciting on Rosh Hashanah and continue during the Ten Days of Repentance, up to Yom Kippur. It reads: “Zochreinu L'chaim ... remember us for life, O King Who wants us to have life, and inscribe us in the Book of Life, for Your sake O Living G-d” and concluding on the actual day of Yom Kippur by saying “seal us in the book of life.” This idea of being inscribed in the book of life is the essence of Judaism. It does not just refer to some esoteric relationship between human beings and God, but rather the intrinsic personal relationships with our families and communities.

We only achieve personal forgiveness by making amends to the people around us. This is the essence of “Uvacharta b’chaim…and you shall choose life” one of the highest commandments in Judaism. This can be exemplified by an quote from Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, who composed some of the beautiful melodies we hear in temple, when he was interviewed while entertaining Israeli soldiers fighting in the Yom Kippur war. He was asked 'what's the difference between you and the Arabs, both sides are shooting?’ Rabbi Carlebach answered “I'll tell you the difference. When the other side is shooting and pulling the trigger, they are praying, Please God, make sure this bullet kills somebody. When we, the children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and our four holy mothers, when we pull the trigger, we pray to God, let there be a miracle, that between my pulling the trigger and the bullet reaching somebody, let there be a miracle. Suddenly, let there be peace in the world.”

This is who we are as a people. We choose life whenever given the opportunity. The Jewish people have stood at the forefront of the civil rights movement and have led the way in social justice and equality throughout the centuries. Judaism itself holds life as the most treasured gift bestowed upon us by God and its preservation supersedes all of the commandments in the Torah, except for three, and those, it can be argued, are still about holding someone else’s life above our own.

On this day, as we stand before the gates of repentance, we are at our most holy and sublime. Having deprived our bodies of food and drink, we become pure spiritual beings able to discern the ultimate of ideals. For those brief moments, we become spiritually recharged so that we may choose to do better in the coming year. May you all be inscribed in the book of life and have a healthy and prosperous 5775.

Shabbat Shalom and Gamar Chatima Tova.
Rabbi Andrew Bentley

Why Congressmen Needs To Advise Constituents Regarding Syria

2013-09-13T15:32:00.004-07:00

Congressman Ruiz constantly reminds us that he is a physician. Well, he is. However, he seems to forget first and foremost he is a Congressman. Now when he doesn't make a diagnosis he effects not just the members of one family he effects thousands and possibly millions of people. In this story and the accompanying video Dr Ruiz or is it Congressman Ruiz knows the diagnosis. Yet, when asked about the treatment he is still unclear on what he might do. At this point if I were his patient I would ask for a new Doctor. Ruiz begins his comments by drawing analogies. My favorite amongst them is Afghanistan. This tells me that the doctor needs a history course on why we went into Afghanistan. I am not debating whether we could have left earlier. I am only saying our move into Afghanistan was for completely different reasons. Dr Ruiz, we went into Afghanistan because we were attacked by people that were trained in that country. Dr. Ruiz, how could you forget one day after a memorial for all those people we lost on September 11, 2001. I am not addressing here whether we should have gotten out sooner I am only addressing a comparison the Dr. makes that doesn't relate to any of today's reality. Diplomacy is wonderful when it works. However, weren't we negotiating with Japan when they bombed Pearl Harbor. History has shown us we knew it was coming. However, the American people didn't want to go to war. Then we were attacked as we were on 9-11 and the American people rallied to get even. This raises issues. When should a leader with supposedly more information than the general population do what is right rather than what is politically expedient. I am not saying that we should or shouldn't attack at this point. More importantly I am calling upon the Congressman to tell us at least which way he is leaning if negotiations fail. To say things change daily on this is true. But the facts go beyond just gas. They go to a fact of a government killing over a 100,000 of its own people. It is a fact that the Dr. fails to discuss. He doesn't discuss the feelings he has for other allies in the area that could fall victim to attacks themselves. Lets start the list with Turkey, Jordan and Israel. Sometimes the elements that go into making a decision are as important as the decision itself. Do we have a right to know? We do not need to know the when, where or how of an attack. We do have a right to know our Congressman's thought process and leanings if negotiations fail. The question here is one of whether the doctor is willing to give us the diagnosis and the options for our treatment. One question I keep asking myself is why the Congressman has not shared his leanings? Here is one possible observation that may have great credibility when one does not share his thoughts. Is the Dr. waiting to see how everyone else is going to vote? Then he will take the popular side and not necessarily the right or wrong side in making his decision. Let me make it clearer. Is Ruiz waiting to make his decision so he can be on the winning side of a vote if taken? For those of you who say one lone Freshman cannot make a difference: I suggest that you look at history and some of the votes that have been decided by one vote. One vote can show how courageous a person is. One vote is what our Congress is about. One vote does make a difference. So like the congressman that ran a get out to vote campaign to get elected, I suggest your vote does count. How can we continue to support a Congressman that finds a plethora of excuses not to tell us his thoughts on such an important issue. He may never have to vote on this issue but I will never vote for him if he cannot make a decision when the chips are down. If he is telling us he has no leanings at this time, I have to say give me a break.

IS CALIFORNIA GOING TO FAR IN ITS ENVIROMENTAL HUNT FOR CHROMIUM 6 IN OUR WATER

2013-09-05T13:52:00.001-07:00

In Hinkley the Chromium 6 levels were as high as 580 parts per billion. This level had to do with dumping not natural environmental issues. The wells in our valley have according to this study very in maximum to 25 parts per billion. The current state standard suggests 50 parts per billion for both chromium 3 and 6. The national standard for the two is 100. Chromium 3 is an essential part of the bodies metabolism which fights the effects of Carbs and Fats. Chromium 6 is also in our air since it is also a naturally mineral. So if the standards are tightened are we also going to have gas masks issued. It seems to me and I am a cautious person that we would have a high degree of cancer clusters here in the valley that could be traced back to chromium 6 levels. However, I cannot find any such cancer cluster maps exhibiting the same. Riverside has a lower cancer rate per 100k than the state of California. Of course I could have done poor research so I suggest you do your own. For those that want a low level of chromium 6 you can purchase a reverse osmosis system to treat your own drinking water for under 200 dollars. Or you can call a plumber and have him install it for you. This is much cheaper than what you may be paying to have the government treat your water.

The Russians Helped Create Al Quida and the Leadership of Osama Bin Laden

2013-09-03T09:09:00.001-07:00

The lack of action is an action. That is the thing that so many leaders forget. When we say we are going to do something and we don't we loose credibility. In the Middle East we are dealing with people that look for signs of weakness. If we are weak when we said we would be strong it is worse than being weak when we say nothing. Don't be fooled Iran is the puppet master here. They are arming Syria and Hezbollah. We shouldn't forget that the Russian's also an ally are here to talk with Congress. I wonder are they registering as lobbyists? They have sent this delegation because they say that they have more experience dealing with Muslim Extremists. Yes, they do we have seen their human rights policies regarding Jews, Muslims and Homosexuals. Russia has lots of experience in the Middle East their 10 year war in Afghanistan was fought poorly just as their fight it World War II. Why are we allowing anti human rights leaders to speak with our leaders. If anything we should call them out for their human rights violations.

Do Your Own Homework Regarding The Syrian Timeline

2013-09-02T11:45:00.001-07:00

In reading all the diatribe that was written before this comment a came to some unfortunate but expected conclusions. First of all this is split totally on a political likes and dislikes most often having nothing to do with the issue presented in the article. Few including the Desert Sun has addressed the timeline of events. No one has addressed the issue that the Red Line drawn by Obama was drawn in August 2012 not 2013. Congress has had an incredible amount time to study the issue but failed to do so. As for my poli tical views on this matter I will address them more specifically latter. However, I urge people to go beyond what the media has given us. Look at the time line. Look at the facts. Look at the International Law involved. Look at the 1973 (50 U.S.C. 1541-1548). Do your own homework. Ask yourself: If was living in Syria what would I want the world governments to do? You may also want to go beyond the geopolitical into the ethical implications of the decision to act or not act. Put your political blinders on and look at what you would do if you were the one making the decision.

Fast Food Worker's Do Not Deserve The $15 An Hour They Are Picketing For

2013-08-29T16:55:00.001-07:00

Thirty one thousand two hundred dollars ($31,200). Remember that number. $42,693 dollars a year is the average per capita income in the United States. That is the average wage of all people from the lowest to the highest earner in the country. $36,201 is the average starting pay in the United States for a teacher with a no less than a Bachelors degree. . I am sorry this would be an insult to teachers and many others that have worked in a skilled job. $18,057 average salary of a E2 Private in the United States Army. So remember that number $31.200 that is how much a year the people in fast food restaurants want you to support for them in wages.
