Your top online stories of 2008

The show is back from vacation and not a moment too soon. While I enjoyed my time off it almost felt as if the local papers knew that I was off the air.  The Never Ending Parade of Stupid seemed to be just that, never ending. Needless to to say there is no shortage of issues that need to be talked about in the coming days and weeks. And while all eyes are looking forward, we do need to take a brief moment and look back at 2008. I laughed out loud in the story above when they just had to mention that our favorite Legal Attorney and Border Rights activist won 150K from some lame leftist organization while talking about the Joe Arpaio book signing protest. Yet they failed to mention that the only reason this was even a story was because of this very show. To a lesser extent the same could also be said about our extensive coverage and involvement in the controversy surrounding former TUSD teacher John Ward and his exposure of the Ethnic/La Raza Chicano Studies. In the end the Jon Justice Show and 104.1 The Truth was your #1 source for local and national coverage on the stories that mattered most to you. While we close the door on 08 and look cautiously towards the unknown in 2009, remember you always have a voice here and it starts today at 6am!

Rio Nuevo appears in peril at Legislature

I am very pleased to have as our first in studio guest of 2009, friend to the show and D30 State Representative Frank Antenori. The papers and city council seem to be a little concerned with the future of Rio Nuevo and they should be. While I will allow Frank to give his own view of what he thinks should happen, I personally feel that it's time to wipe the slate clean of the mess that has been made of downtown revitalization. It's been too long with too little accomplished and too much lack of transparency. Enough is enough and it's time that the local council members are put into a position where in they are forced to examine the way they have been conducting business. The local government continues to make the same mistakes and I believe have only proven that they will continue to make those same mistakes unless you take away their funding. We need a viable downtown, but it's time for a bold new fresh approach. Rio Nuevo is dead and it's time we stop kicking it around and trying to make it look alive like a scene from Weekend at Bernies.

Stanton: New memorial for a real hero

Even someone as biased as Billie Stanton can't mess this story up. I joke, but in all seriousness there is something to be said that an Op-ed writer who 99% of the time I just can't relate to can do a fair piece. I think this, at least for me, speaks to the magnitude of the Erik Hite story and further reenforces the needs our officers have. I would like to see those like Billie or the AZ Star editorial staff who by and large were fair and honest about the tragedy of Officer Hite, take that reality and use it to support our officers. They are in dire need right now and deserve our support and respect. In regards to what friend to the show Lori and Kyle are doing with the memorial, it really does give me hope that future generations are learning the value of what our officers do and have an understanding of what a community really should be. I am very proud to say that both Kyle and Lori will be some of my first guests in the brand new studios on Monday morning.

FAIR: Federation for American Immigration Reform:

 FAIR submitted the below letter to the Tucson Citizen in regards to everyone favorite legal defender and open border enthusiast Isabel Garcia.

To the Editor:
It’s not surprising that the Lannan Foundation has bestowed its Cultural Freedom Award on Isabel Garcia, along with a check for $150,000. Considering that past honorees have included Mahmoud Darwish, the chief propagandist for the PLO at a time when they were laying waste to Lebanon, and Robert Fisk, a virulently anti-American British journalist, Garcia seems like a natural for a Lannan award.
What is shocking is the “1 million thanks” that the Tucson Citizen adds to a woman who not only has devoted herself to attacking every effort to secure our borders and enforce laws against illegal immigration, but who has publicly incited violence (“Isabel Garcia: Compassion and courage earn reward,” editorial Dec. 13). Garcia’s radical views include holding the U.S. efforts to secure our borders responsible for the deaths of people attempting to break our laws.
At a time when the mere mention of problems associated with illegal immigration is denounced as “hate speech,” Garcia, a Pima County public defender, publicly engaged in a vile display of hatred against Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio last summer. Garcia did not merely protest Sheriff Arpaio’s book-signing event in Tucson, but led the mob in a symbolic attack on an effigy of the man, and personally paraded around with the disembodied head.
It is one thing for the Tucson Citizen to take a strong position on U.S. immigration policy. It is quite another to heap praise on a woman who incites hatred and who has been singled out for an award by a foundation that seeks out those who are most vitriolic in their denunciations of America.

Sheriff Arpaio fails to submit budget-cut plan

There is no one like Joe and the mere fact that he says the budget cuts would put the people at risk is enough for me to say he continues to buck the trend in the right direction. Arpaio may be wrong and cuts may indeed need to be made, but personally I think he is doing the right thing by saying no and having everyone including himself take a second look at numbers. If anyone can find away to shave off tax payer dollars and make life harder for criminals its Joe. Go Joe!
