HOME-HOME ON THE RANGE
How time flies! I remember these cowboys and cowgirls like it was yesterday, yet here I am in my 70's and like I wrote above how time flies! So along with the cowboys and cowgirls I wrote about in my first post of western hero's here are dozens more.'
Bob Steele was a famous western star in the late 40's and 50'd then he became a charter actor as his star tarnished, while Dale Robertson rode in many westerns he became famous in the television series "Wells Fargo", then he faded into eternity.
Chuck Connors was the infamous rifleman, Michael Landon was little Joe on Bonanza, Clint Walker was "Cheyenne Body" a western series in the 50's. Then there was Gene Barry who played the part of Bat Masterson, while Dennis Miller played Chester on Gun Smoke.
You may recall James Garner, he played what I think was his best part as "Maverick", while George Montgomery played a dozen different western characters, Wild Bill Elliot who played "Red Rider".
See if any of these names ring a bell, if you were not around in those days they will mean nothing to you so here goes:
William Hart the most famous silent screen cowboy! Whip Wilson, Wayne Morris, Tom Tyler, Roy Crash Corrigan, Randolf Scott, Peter Breck, Pete Morrison, Neel O'Day, Monte Hall the singing cowboy, Lou Carrillo, Lane Chandler, Tom Keene, Joel McCrea, Jim Newall, Jim Dennis, Jim Bowman, Tim Holt, Tim McCoy, Slim Pickens, Smiley Burnette, Jack Mahoney, George Houston.
OK some more here, Johnny Mack Brown, Johnny carpenter, Reno Blair a gorgeous redhead, Ray Whittles, Ray Burnett, Ken Maynard, Ken Curtiss, George O'Brian, Jack Randall, Big Boy Williams, Jack Parrin, Jack Holt, Glen Ford, Harry Carey, Harry Carey Jr.
More? OK try these names on for size, Bill Cody, Bob Tumbleweed Baker, Bob Allen, Chill Wills, Allen Rocky Lane, Andy Devine, Amanda Blake, Dan Blocker, Dick Toran, Don Red Barry, Gabby Hayes, Fuzzy Knight, Bronco Bill Anderson, Buddy Roosevelt, Buzzy Barton, Eddie Dean.
The list goes on from there as there were more westerns made in the 40's and 50's than any other type of film, so its no wonder there were more cowboy stars than other stars but the times they are a changing!

WHEN STARS WERE LEGENDS #2 WESTERNS
RIDE'M COWBOY UR, COWGIRL!
article by: James Thomas Fridas
They rode into the lives of all Americans and they were famous as any actor or actress could be, of course the cowboy hero could never kiss the girl only his horse because the kids thought it was mushy!!
They were in the silent movies all the way to the current time only television seems to have forgotten the past. They were the best of them all and they rode with a vengeance, long live America's cowboys and cowgirls!!
More than likely there will be a dispute as to who was the best of the best, I do know that Hopalong Cassidy was the most famous, while Roy Rogers was known as the King of Cowboys, Gene Autrey was the first King of Cowboys, he had two side kicks while Roy Rogers had Dale Evens and Gabby Hayes, and later he also had Andy Divine.
Then there was the immortal Tex Ritter followed by Hoot Gibson a famous cowboy, then there was Rex Allen. Singing cowboys were all the fashion in the early days of cowboy hero's yet there were singing cowgirls to, such as Dorothy Page a cowgirl singer, then there was Peggy Stewart, Jennifer Holt, Gail Davies, Emily Timely and Nell O'Day.
There were other women cowgirls if we can get them in we will, moving on to other famous cowboys there was Tom Mix one of the early western hero's then the was one of my child hood hero's Lash La Rue bull whip will hurt you!!!
Another one of my early day hero's was James Arness who starred in Gun Smoke, there were other hero's of the day like Roudy on Rawhide AKA Clint Eastwood one of the few living legends of the day along with Tom Sellick and Bruce Willis.
Then there were many more who rode the dusty trail, like John Wayne and Glen Ford who were the leading movie makers of westerns. Funny thing about cowboy stars in their day, they only kissed their horse not the girl!!! I will add dozens of other famous cowboy stars in my next post!

AMI BERA vs. DOUG OSE
Yes the bull is piling high here folks, according to an add from the Bera bull crap committee Doug Ose made 100 million dollars and another add from the bull in full swing committee he made 175 million dollars!
OK, now you tell me why I should believe Ami Bera who accuses Doug Ose of doing everything he did?? Smell it now ladies and gentlemen? If your going to lie about your opponent it should be believable and it should have the same smell from beginning to end with no misconceptions!

COP KILLING COPS! by Jim Fridas
THIS HAS GOT TO STOP
Thugs with a badge, men in blue supposedly they are here to protect and serve, question is who are they protecting and serving? Seems like they are protecting themselves and self serving at the same time!
Tommy Yancy, veteran 2 tours of duties in Iraq and Afghanistan was brutally beaten to death by 5 thugs called cops! While we see anger in Missouri when a young person of color was murdered where is the outrage over a Veteran who happens to be a person of color? As a veteran I am outraged that this happened and where the hell is the Attorney General or Jerry Brown on this issue? Nowhere to be found M.I.A. that's where?
All this over a missing front license plate, what kind of bull sushi is this? The cops have nothing better to do than to harass a Veteran with a missing front license plate, I thinks its time for a new commission, independent of the police department that have control over their actions and authority to charge the murderers with the crime they commit and see that they go to prison.
There have been cases where the police were actually no less than hoods with a badge, example in New Orleans a few years ago the police were mostly convicts, how does that roast your tootsies? Then in Miami the cops were also no more than criminals who some how got on the force, they were ruffing up the drug dealers and stealing their money and taking cuts.
I do not remember the exact year but the New York city police were dealing with criminals in blue as well and many went to jail in a scandal that hit New York hard, the trial went on for quit some time and a whole bunch of corrupt police went to the slammer!!!

How long will these murderers called police continue to murder citizens and get away with it? It must stop and stop now!!!! Last week in Ferguson Missouri a minor was shot in the back, justifiable homicide? Not so fast bucko!!! He was not a criminal and the cop was out of control.
New York City a man strangled to death in a choke hold by a New York City Cop, justifiable homicide! Again not so fast bucko!!! Then there was the incident in Inyo county a 16 year old boy shot to death by the deputy sheriff and he was on suspension for 30 days, a paid vacation paid for by you and me!!! He was back on the job when lo and behold these same deputies beat a Veteran to death.
Five deputies beat this man to death and then the lying deputy said he attacked me and my K-9, right and Santa Claus wears a green jump suit!!! Then there were other cops killing citizens around the country, it is getting out of hand.
So what to do? For me its time to create a Special Task Force a commission of citizens not connected to the police or any law enforcement agency to rule over these out of control cops. The situation is spiraling out of control with the militarization of the police nationally, while many good police have their reputation tarnished by these bad cops, this must stop and now!!!
Torrence California a man shot 16 times by police, is this justifiable? Watch the court proceeding he survived to the dismay of the cops! Are cops trigger happy?? Seems to be the case, are they suppose to under go psychiatric counseling? Yes and many that need to be in therapy sneak through the cracks!!!
Is it time to reign in the police? Ask yourself this question then see what happened to an 80 year old man as police broke into his home by mistake and when he thought that home invaders were breaking in he grabbed his gun out of the nightstand and police shot him to death!
Then there was the elderly woman who was shot by police when they broke into her home by mistake, then to cover there asses they claimed she was growing pot!! Again with the manusha!!!
Lies and more lies cops covering their asses isn't good for a free society, you could be next and who would stand up for you!!! Then there was a man who was driving some where in the south and when police pulled him over they shot him repeatedly, last I heard his wife was suing the police for excessive force or something but the one thing your not seeing is the media outing these lies!!
So is the media a co conspirator with the police? Seems that way, the only thing they seem to talk about is the rioting after the fact not the politics of murder!! I want justice, but I do not want a bullet in my head and the fact of the matter is that many cops are paranoid!!!
LAPD shot two innocent people in the search for Dorner, in all three people were shot at by trigger happy police, Dormer was driving a Nissan Titan and they riddled a woman's Blue Toyota Tacoma, so sorry here is a new truck! In a statement Police were guarding a special location opened fire on two people wounding them seriously, police need to examine their eyes they said the pickup driven by these people resembled a pick up driven by Dormer, not even close a blue Toyota Tacoma, Dormer was driving a different pick up, classes are necessary for these cops, target identification!
92 year old Kathleen Johnson was murdered when a SWAT team entered her home by mistake and killed her then planted false evidence, fortunately these three are in federal prison!! What is unfortunate is that there are many good cops that have given their lives in the line of duty, there are a number of good cops that grit their teeth I am sure when they hear about a citizen killed by mistake they know there will be an uproar!
So with that there are as I said numerous good police and sheriffs around the nation, one recently said in Milwaukee County told residents to get armed to help protect themselves and he was attacked by the gun freaks of America and Bloomberg donated 150 thousand dollars to his opponent, but the good sheriff won that race
the following is from Cowboy Byte and is not mine just a copy

the following is from Cowboy Byte and is not mine just a copy
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has his eyes set on a new target: pro-self defense Sheriff David Clarke of Milwaukee County. According to the Washington Times, Bloomberg has dumped $150,000 for advertising into the race between Clarke and Milwaukee Police Lt. Chris Moews, who are running against each other in aDemocratic primary.
What I say is congratulations to the good sheriff!!
More of the same is not what we Americans want, what we want is a police force that is protecting us not attacking us
There is a Police Chief in Pennsylvania who also proclaims people should be armed he even has asked for more people to join his volunteer force to keep America safe, got to love these patriots!!!
This just happened as I was writing this post: More cop killings in Camp Spring Maryland 2 people shot and 1 child killed by police in the shoot out between police and the suspect the media is at least getting in on this one! I think that the cops need to be required to go to target training more than what we see on television, so that they do not kill innocent people, comments, you r thoughts!
What eever you do don't get me wrong I had an uncle by marriage I was his ring bear at the wedding in 1948 he was the Sheriff in Ventura for over 20 years before he retired to Modesto with my aunt who died of cancer shortly after that, he died last year at 92, he was a very popular Sheriff in his day, the fact is that few in law enforcement want to be respected as great lawmen, they just want to get paid and the hell with you and me!
I would appreciate any comments for or against the police!

ROBIN WILLIAMS R.I.P. by Jim Fridas
THE BRILLIANT ROBIN WILLIAMS
Sad as can be, I know I will along with millions of others miss this immensely talented, intelligent and famous comedian. What a tragedy for all especially his family, his wife and daughter and two sons.
Why did he do this people are asking? First depression is a serious illness that unless you have had it you would not know the answer to this question. This happens to millions of people and it could happen to you or I if we do not know what to look for!
Sadly on the same day that Robin Williams tragically decided to take his life 26 Veterans also committed suicide, society is unaware of the effects of these mental illnesses, until the medical profession can find a way to embrace this illness and see it before its to late we will continue to see these events unfolding!
A Veteran who shall remain nameless because he is a member of the same organization I belong to and we have a rule that unless the person gives permission to use their name we are honor bound as Veterans to adhere to the rule of silence.
He has determined animals, yes animals are one of the best treatments for PT SD, which is close to but as they say "no cigar" to depression, the mind is a powerful tool and as Einstein once said, "The mind is more powerful than atomic energy"!
With that I would like to offer a suggestion to Christians and Jews alike, if you believe in god let us make it a day of prayer for those afflicted, seek out our spiritual leaders at church and your synagogue and let us make this a priority, we do not need anymore tragedies like this and if god almighty does not intervene it will continue!!!

CONGRESSIONAL IDIOTS by Jim Fridas
BY THE BUSHEL FULL article by: James Thomas Fridas
NOVEMBER 11, 2014
NOVEMBER 11, 2014
The truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and if you can't handle the truth then you are in need of some real help! Now the administration is doing everything it can to suck people into this garbage known as the "Affordable Care Act" so disgusting that the Democrats who pushed this crap on America refuse to belong to it. Does that tell you anything?
Now the other day a man had lost his insurance thanks to this garbage and was given a $400,000. bill for his medical treatment, rave on you idiots who think that you are getting free health care, it ain't so!
