Good morning RJ,
Did you catch our very special Veterans Day Photo of the Week? If you didn’t, you may want to head to Instagram. While you’re there, don’t forget to follow us so you’ll never miss a Photo of the Week.
The Coolidge Unified School District is gearing up for a potential uptick in enrollment amid the city’s ongoing housing boom. According to City Manager Rick Miller, the city may issue up to 600 new permits for single-family homes before the end of the year. Here’s what the district plans to do to accommodate additional students.
In case you missed it: Following an earlier meeting this month, which became bogged down in confusion over public meeting rules, the Pinal County Board of Supervisors may adopt a longer set of rules that touch upon everything from when a board member can refrain from voting on an item to time limits on public comment. You can review a copy of the extended rules in this article.
Everywhere but Arizona: After a sharp increase, gas prices are beginning to drop nationwide. But in this state, prices have continued to rise above the national average.
Plus, here’s the latest from the crime beat:
– An early morning shooting resulted in the deaths of four people Sunday following a confrontation between two groups at a trailer park in Tucson.
– In Superior, a scuffle with law enforcement backed up westbound traffic on U.S. Highway 60 to the Queen Creek Bridge when police chased a man accused of shoplifting from a Superior business into the highway lanes.
– A man accused of allegedly burglarizing a Casa Grande home last month reportedly attempted to rob the same house just a few days later and was caught in the act.

Your guide to a healthy (and tasty!) Thanksgiving dinner
By Chef Jen, Wellness Executive Chef at Mayo Clinic
Thanksgiving dinner is one of the most anticipated food events of the year – and for good reason. Before you assume that the holiday is going to derail your diet, know this: Thanksgiving doesn’t have to be a heavy, fat-laden affair. Learn from Chef Jen, a Wellness Executive Chef with the Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Program, how to make a perfectly cooked bird. Plus, below you’ll find simple swaps to cut calories – without sacrificing on flavor – along with a tasty Thanksgiving recipe.

Step-by-step guide to perfectly cooked turkey
There’s an art to making a perfectly cooked bird
The last thing you want to do is ruin the foundation of your Thanksgiving meal. Chef Jen explains how to season, cook and carve your turkey, and why letting the turkey rest is an essential step not worth skipping.
How to make a mouthwatering turkey
Chef Jen’s tips to make Thanksgiving dinner as healthy as it is delicious
Make smart swaps
Try adding pureed cauliflower to mashed potatoes. This will cut calories and add more fiber to your dish. Instead of mixing the potatoes with butter, use milk and serve butter on the side. For a healthier stuffing, use whole-wheat bread and add lots of veggies, such as carrots, celery, onions and mushrooms.
Use leftovers wisely
Got extra turkey? Put it to good use! Add it to a spinach salad, use it in a panini or quesadilla, or transform it into turkey salad by chopping the meat and mixing it with onions, celery, light mayo and grapes. Add a scoop to a salad or use it in a sandwich stacked with fresh veggies.
Create simple side dishes
You might be surprised to find that sweet potato mash with a tiny drizzle of maple syrup is just as satisfying as your aunt’s calorie-busting casserole. Sautéed green beans, butternut squash soup and vegetable brown rice pilaf with dried cranberries and pecans are also tasty additions to any Thanksgiving meal.
Meet Chef Jen
Jennifer A. Welper is a Wellness Executive Chef with the Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Program where she creates recipes for practical, healthy meals and teaches patients how to meal plan and prep for a healthy lifestyle. Chef Jen enjoys cooking food that not only tastes good but is healthy and relatable.
Sautéed green beans with almonds
This classic green bean recipe is from the new Mayo Clinic cookbook Cook Smart, Eat Well. It is a healthy and delicious alternative to the fat-laden traditional green bean casserole.Ingredients
- 1½ pounds fresh green beans, cleaned and trimmed
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- ¼ cup sliced almonds
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Heat a medium to large sauté pan to medium heat; add oil. Sauté green beans for approximately 5 minutes until the beans are slightly blistered. Approximately 3 minutes after adding the green beans to the pan, add the sliced almonds and sauté.
Taste a bean to see if it’s done to your liking. If the beans need more time to finish cooking, add ¼ cup water.
Add the seasonings and mix well.

This Week With Gosar: Veterans Day!
PRESCOTT, AZ – Here are our top stories…
Honoring our Nation’s Veterans
In honor of Veterans Day, thank you to all our Veterans! God bless you and your families for serving our nation and defending our freedoms and rights.
It was a privilege to attend the Veterans Day Parade in Prescott, AZ and celebrate our American heroes who defend our country.
Cartoon Depicts Real Life Policy Battle Against Illegal Immigration and Amnesty
Earlier this week, my staff produced a short anime for Twitter causing many on the Left to purposefully mischaracterize its meaning. I find the faux outrage infantile and the hyperventilating and shrill accusations that this cartoon is dangerous to be laughable or intentionally hyperbolic. Either way it, is wrong.
After Twitter defamed me and called the cartoon “hateful” we took it down. There is nothing “hateful” in the video, but the democrats and left-wing media were screaming at Twitter to take action against me.
The focus in anime is intended to be thematic and storytelling through cartoon. The video from my office tells the story of the evil of illegal immigration and those who support it. The evil wind is illegal immigration and the open borders we now have. Official estimates are that 2.2 million illegal aliens will be let into the United States this year by the Biden administration. This number does not include the hundreds of thousands who escaped detection and were not counted.
The cartoon hero in this anime is set on a mission to stop the evil that is plaguing the people. The cartoon hero can fly. He carries a saber in each hand. It is a memetic, fictitious cartoon in the anime tradition and style.
There are anti-heroes in the short story represented a Titan, or a humanoid that attacks humans. The Titan is obviously not human. The anime ends where the hero stops short in front of an image of Joe Biden–ready to do cartoon battle. Superimposed, rather crudely, is my face as the cartoon hero, and the face of Rep. Cortez as the Titan. As a proud member of the open borders caucus, she is representative of the plague of illegal immigration. Her penchant for amnesty is well known, as is my opposition. The depiction of Mr. Biden pertains to his administration’s decision to leave the border open while illegal aliens invade from all points.
The cartoon hero symbolically smites the evil. As heroes are thematically required to do.
This anime was released ahead of Congress’ discussion on Mr. Biden’s reckless $4 trillion Build Back Better Act, a bill that Congress will take up next week and includes plans for massive amnesty for criminals. Millions of criminals would be granted amnesty resulting from illegal immigration. This video addresses that scourge.
This is a cartoon. It is not a documentary. It is not real life.
For this cartoon some in Congress suggest I should be punished in some fashion.
For a cartoon.
While the degree of punishment differs, this is the same sentiment expressed against the Charlie Hebdo magazine in France in 2015 that was punished for publishing a cartoon—resulting in a real-life massacre of 12 real live people. Indeed, the former deputy director of the CIA concluded that those who attacked Charlie Hebdo were “trying to shut down a media organization that lampooned the Prophet Muhammad.”
And now here, in the United States, six years later, the motive by some of my colleagues in Congress is the same: to shut down media that lampoons those who support the dangerous open border policies of the Biden administration.
In this case, shut down my media and my messaging to people regarding the significant illegal immigration policy differences between Representative Cortez and Mr. Biden and me. I am entitled to speak to the people and to do so in a manner that is engaging. Further, I have a right to speak to the younger generation in this country. Those are the true fans of anime. I do not expect everyone to be a fan of anime but millions of people are. Nothing in that video uttered a single threat. Nothing in fact was threatening to any person. The Titans are symbolic. The heroes are mythic. The messaging is that illegal immigration and open borders is an evil that is plaguing our country. That entire message is delivered via a cartoon interspersed with graphics.
The threat that was addressed in this cartoon is very real: the threat of open borders. Millions of illegal aliens, all criminals, including many thousands of hardened criminals, are being let in and moved around our country. The border is not defended and the Biden administration is aggressively violating its duties to faithfully execute the laws.
The cartoon depicts the threat to America of open borders. The mass influx of drugs and drug cartels. The mass influx of welfare reliant mobs. The mass influx of people who have not been vetted and have not lawfully applied for a visa or lawful immigration status. It is no coincidence crime is increasing. It is no coincidence drug deaths and overdoses continue unabated. This all stems from this invasion along our open, southern borders.
The cartoon exposes the threats to America. It does not make any threat to anyone.
It is a meme—a meme apparently many don’t understand, and to be honest, I have to be debriefed by my young staff on the meaning of some memes. My staff is creative, talented and passionate. They are not dangerous. They are not violent. They do not incite violence or glorify violence. It is a cartoon intended to be entertaining while making a point that the open borders our country suffers is an evil that plagues the land.
I do not think anyone reasonably thinks it promotes violence. Any more than one could assert that Tom and Jerry promote violence between cats and mice. Or that Peter Griffin actually fought a chicken. Or that Elmer Fudd truly hates rabbits. Or that Rick and Morty actually engage in combat with various space monsters. These are all fictitious works of fantasy. They work on a variety of levels of literary themes and entertainment.
Some people loved the anime from my office. Others took umbrage, or pretended to, and fell on their fainting couch exasperated. But I have the right to make my point about illegal immigration and our open borders. I have a right to do so in a way that can be entertaining and thought-provoking. This right is guaranteed by our First Amendment. I have said conclusively and decisively there is no threat in the anime other than the threat immigration poses to our country. It is disingenuous to say otherwise.
I cannot control those who deliberately lie about this and claim it is a real-world attack and a call for violence against any person. It is clearly not. One would have to have an insufferably low IQ to make that assertion with a straight face. Indeed, it is knowingly false to portray the anime as a call for violence.
I don’t pretend to control, or even care about, the messaging from other offices. Anyone can make their own message touting their belief that open borders are good and just. In a world of competing ideas, the messaging too will compete.
Thank you to the hundreds of people who phoned or wrote my office to offer words of support. And to those who called to express their disagreement, thank you as well. I am grateful to each and every one of my constituents.
Gosar Co-sponsors Legislation to Protect American’s Right for Self-Defense and Concealed Carry
The United States Supreme Court announced earlier this year it would hear a major case regarding an individual’s right to carry a firearm for self-defense outside of their home represents a critical moment for all Americans who value safety and security. The Second Amendment guarantees that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Unfortunately, many liberal states are attacking this fundamental right by requiring concealed carry applicants to justify their need for the permit, empowering authorities to reject applications from law-abiding Americans for arbitrary reasons or for no reason at all.
In keeping with my oath of office to protect and defend our founding charter, I will not support unconstitutional gun restriction laws, just as I would not support a law that restricts gathering for a peaceful assembly. For my leadership and action on these issues, I have a career grade of “A” with the National Rifle Association of America and a career grade of “A+” with Gun Owners of America.
In response, I have proudly cosponsored H.R. 38, which would validate and extend the authority of state level concealed carry permits across state lines. This important piece of legislation would prevent law-abiding citizens who possess a concealed carry permit from becoming caught up in the restrictions of another state, simply by exercising their Second Amendment rights, and traveling freely around the country with a concealed firearm. This crucial bill strengthens one of America’s most fundamental rights, and ensures law abiding citizens are not prohibited from traveling the country freely. This bill, contrary to the opinions of some in the news media, in no way simplifies the process by which someone obtains a concealed carry permit, nor does it allow anyone who has previously been prohibited from buying a gun to obtain one.

The Truth About Guns the Left Doesn’t Want You to Know
In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control: From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
In 1911, Turkey established gun control: From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Germany established gun control in 1938: From 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
China established gun control in 1935: From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Guatemala established gun control in 1964: From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Uganda established gun control in 1970: From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Cambodia established gun control in 1956: From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
56 million defenseless people were rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control measures.
Switzerland issues a gun to every household and their government trains every adult in the use of a rifle. Switzerland has the lowest gun related crime rate of any civilized country in the world.
You won’t see this data on the US evening news or hear politicians disseminating this information.
Don’t let our government waste millions of our tax dollars in an effort to make law-abiding citizens and easy target. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens. With guns, we are ‘citizens’; without them, we are ‘subjects’. Gun owners in the USA are the largest armed forces in the world!

Rules for Thee, but Not for Me
America First advocate Stephen Bannon has been criminally indicted by the Biden-weaponized Department of Justice (DoJ) for the crime of not cooperating with Congress. For the record, my resolution holding Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for lying and not cooperating with my investigation never resulted in criminal charges. Nor the contempt finding against Internal Revenue Service secret agent Lois Lerner. And many others.
This is selective prosecution against conservatives by the DOJ. Read more here.
FBI is Doing Mr. Biden’s Dirty Work
In a bizarre incident in New York, Biden has weaponized and politicized the FBI in what appears to a politically motivated persecution against the independent news investigation organization called Project Veritas. This strange event is being investigated as it is still developing.

Hamster fun and information Preamble to the Constitution
Preamble to the Constitution
The following has been attributed to Lewis Napper, a Jackson, Mississippi computer programmer. He didn’t expect his essay — a tart 10-point list of “rights” Americans don’t have — to become an Internet legend.
‘We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone, get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional. We hold these truths to be self-evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights.’
ARTICLE I:
You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth.. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.
ARTICLE II:
You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone — not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc.; but the world is full of dummies, and probably always will be.
ARTICLE III:
You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful; do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.
ARTICLE IV:
You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes
ARTICLE V:
You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we’re just not interested in public health care.
ARTICLE VI:
You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don’t be surprised if the rest of us want to see you get the blue juice.
ARTICLE VII:
You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don’t be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won’t have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure..
ARTICLE VIII:
You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful.
ARTICLE IX:
You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an overabundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.
ARTICLE X:
This is an English speaking country. We don’t care where you came from, English is our language. Learn it!
Lastly
ARTICLE XI:
You do not have the right to change our country’s history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution. The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, sorry if you are uncomfortable with it.
If you agree, share this with a friend. No, you don’t have to, and nothing tragic will befall you if you don’t. I just think it’s about time common sense is allowed to flourish. Sensible people of the United States must speak out because if you do not, who will?
GOD BLESS THE USA
