Bailout Talks Disintegrate Into Verbal Brawl; Fate Uncertain
I watched this whole mess play out yesterday and todays spin to make Obama look good is a bold faced lie. The claims the dems had a deal was a ploy because they knew that John McCain did the right the thing by suspending his campaign to come to Washington to be involved in the "bailout". Some are claiming that ads were still running and that McCain spokes people were granting interviews while McCains campaign was suspended. First of all it takes a few days for ads to stop running because you pay for them in advance. Secondly, the campaign suspension means that McCain is making no current campaign stops or new ads etc..until the reach an agreement to help the economy. The left wing media thinks that just because he suspended his campaign that he shouldn't or his spokes people shouldn't be on TV at all and that simply is not the case. Getting back to the deal or no deal. There was no deal yesterday other than the original 700Billion Paulson deal. When McCain and Obama had their summit with Pres Bush at the White House the house republicans presented a different deal that helped Wall Street, provided accountability and didn't hand out 700 Billion up front, it was a working "bailout" that would provide help to Wall Street when and if needed. Thats when the Dems and Obama played political games and everything went south. Obama claims that John McCain added politics into the mix? No Obama did, Obama refused to suspend his campaign, Obama held a presser after at the White House Summit and Obama still thinks they should debate while WAMU folded over night and the economy is still in jeopardy. McCain did the right thing from the get go and is being a leader. Obama is acting like a rookie first year senator.
Pollster says election could end in landslide
While we still don't have "bailout", "loan", "Colossal SNAFU" or what ever you want to call this Wall Street mess, so I thought I would give you something a little different to chew on. What if all the polls are wrong? What if this race isn't the neck and neck down to the wire finish that everyone is saying? I have been saying all along that either Barack or McCain should be running away this thing. Given what the media and the left have done to discredit Pres Bush for the past 8 years you would think the public would have a pretty good idea of which way they want to go? For as right of center as John McCain is he is still right and we all know just how left Obama is. I may regret saying this and could be totally wrong but, come election night I expect to see the polls tied up right until the end and a landslide victory taking place all across this great nation. Who will it be and what happens when we wake up Nov 5th, that is still anyones guess?
Cameras may be curbing speeders and accidents
I have been trying to get the red light camera issue for the past week now and hope to finally talk about on Fridays show. These latest figures are being touted as a success by our local PD. While I have nothing but respect for our law enforcement, these figure don't go very far in convincing me that these cameras are anything but a profit machine for the state. According to the data there have been some reductions in various infractions, but there also has been a slight up tick in some accidents as well. In the meantime the whole process by which the citations are issued leaves major holes in the way they can be paid, how they need to be served and how they can actually be avoided by the driver with a little ingenuity. Which leaves open the opportunity for court battles over very minor yet expensive infractions. I still have a tough time seeing the justification in these cameras. Especially since these are supposed to help free up our law enforcement and yet we still see a rising crime rate with a shortage of TPD and no one in a leadership position willing to step and address the issue.
Push is on to legalize 12 million illegal residents, let more in
Sometimes I just wish these groups would just come out and say "We want amnesty plain and simple" rather than trying to spin this little fairy tale. The fairy tale this time is that we actually have enough border security to no longer have to be concerned with more illegals coming in and now is the time to give amnesty, because as we all no that our job market would collapse without the illegal immigrant. Thats a nice story and all but be not fooled as it's a bold faced lie. The border is not secure and we hear about it all the time in the very paper that printed this story. They don't want the border secured, they just want all the illegals to not be held accountable for breaking into our country. They want the illegal population to help them push their agendas, vote for their base and contribute to the mentality that the left pushes that the government will take care of you. Truth is that most immigrants who come to this country work hard, contribute to our country and don't like the illegal situation any more than you or I do. this was evident when as far as I saw, not a single border rights group locally bothered welcoming the brand new 1900 american citizens sworn in on Tuesday. This was never about compassion for the illegals in this country, this is about providing amnesty so that those who champion their cause can take advantage of them and increase their voter base. The american public will never accept an amnesty plan until they at the bare minimum know that the border is secure and right now it's not by a long shot.

Bio/History of Jon Justice:
Born and raised in Southern California I attended private Christian Schools from 5th grade through High School. I worked at age 18 as a record store manager. Right around when I turned 21 I left retail to go work as a public real estate auctioneer and property inspector in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego counties. One day, just after being chased off the lawn of a house going into foreclosure by a very large toothed dog who obviously had not been fed for awhile, I heard a commercial for the Academy of Radio Broadcasting. The rest is, as they say....history.
After graduating from the ARB I started as an intern and weekend air talent for Riverside San Bernardino station KCXX in late '95. I then left in '98 joining John Michael at Tucson AZ Alternative Rock KFMA. While at KFMA the Jon and John Show went #1 with our core audience. With this new found fame I was able to convince a promotions intern that I was the coolest guy on the planet and made her my wife. Yes I married an intern and even after she figured out I wasn't that cool Melinda still stayed with me.
In 2000 I returned to KCXX to team up with my still good friend Dick for the Dick and Justice Show. After reaching new highs and lows with bits like "Homeless Survivor" and "Dog in a Hot Car", Dick And Justice went #1 and posted the highest morning show ratings on KCXX. During this time my wife gave birth to our first son Logan Wedge.
In 2003 Dick and I accepted a job as afternoon show for Atlanta's WKLS 96Rock. While achieving some moderate success and hosting a night show on the now defunct FM Talk Real Radio 105.3 we fell victim to a station-wide decline in performance due an on air incident that got the successful morning show fired for airing inappropriate content. Dick and I exited WKLS late in 2004, after which Dick left the radio industry to join CNN.
In December 2005 I joined Grand Rapids MI Active Rock WKLQ as host of the Justice and Jim show. Once again reaching the masses with new lows like the now famous "Dog Drowning Hoax" in which I tried to bring to light the dangers of children drowning in local pools and lakes. Needless to say management mistakenly silenced me after the bit reached critical mass being covered not only on all local news outlets but major cable networks as well. A bit which was done to help educate and a make statement about how people need to pay more attention to child dangers, ended up making me look like an animal hating shock jock. (Of which I am niether, despite what some now think of me locally). After surviving the "Dog Hoax" in late 2005 (I was not fired for that bit, again despite what has been said in online circles) I found myself hosting the show solo as "Justice in the Morning". . That was until my agent made a deal with the company I worked for to put a syndicated show on several of its stations-including mine.....yes, my agent at the time essentially put me out of work. While I hated to lose my job, I was glad to leave WKLQ.
After serving a brief non-compete I was asked to join the #1 station in the market Newsradio WOOD as APD and fill in talk show host. I was given the job of fill in hosting on the stations two #1 live local shows The Grand Rapids Morning News and Rick and Scott (Both shows I have the utmost respect for). Also I was honored to be working on air the week of President Gerald R. Ford's passing, providing Grand Rapids the only live local call in show for 6 hours. During this time Melinda and I welcomed the birth of our second son Kyle Elliott on December 12 2006.
Just after the first of 2007 NEWSRADIO WOOD 1300 launched The Show with Justice Saturday afternoons.
It is now with great pleasure that I can be back in Tucson Arizona. On August 13th 2007 I started as host of my show "The Jon Justice Show" on 104.1 The Truth Tucson's News FM.
My passion has always been talk radio and I am pleased to finally be able to make a career in radio doing talk radio.
I was raised in a Reformed Presbyterian Christian household. I am happy to carry these beliefs with me still today and to be able pass them along to my wife and children Logan Wedge and Kyle Elliott.
I believe:
-I am not better than you the listener, just lucky enough to have a microphone and you don't
-Republicans get it right most of the time
-Democrats get it wrong most of the time
-If you are a liberal that's alright, everyone can change
-We need more God and less government
-We need more honesty and less political correctness
-The Ten Commandments and the Constitution are not mere "suggestions"
-There is reason why the "War on Terror" is called a WAR
-Freedom and democracy don't happen without a fight and they don't happen over night
-If you think you know how war will play out, you're very confused.
-If you're upset about soldiers that die during war, how mad are you about the homeless guy downtown that starved to death last night, the roll over crash that killed 3, or the winter storm that leveled a home and killed a family.
Death happens and our soldiers are fighting for your right to live free.
-We will win the war in Iraq and the war on Terror, but not without the FIGHT
-The media reports what they think you want to hear and unfortunately most of us are too stupid to care
-The most important things in my life are God, my wife and children, my family and my Job
-My father is my mentor and best friend next to my wife and sons
-The most enjoyment I get from TV comes in the form of NASCAR racing, Star Wars movies on DVD, and 24 the TV Series
-If I want to laugh then Spinal Tap, Monty Python and Judd Apatow movies will fill the need
-Depeche Mode is the most underrated band ever
-Dale Jr drives better than you...go #88, go JR!
-Pizza is greatest meal on the planet
-If I need a drink an Orange AMP energy drink will do. If I need something with a little more kick, Captain Morgans and Diet Pepsi will do the trick.
