Lady with the high cheekbones?
Louis Sockalexis, member of Penobscot Nation, needs a new home. They kicked him out of Cleveland.
They would have removed it and replaced it with a a statue of FJB or MLK or the Beatles.
The latter claimed to be more famous than Jesus Christ.
Don’t tell these woke Bozo Marxists that Sacramento means the Sacrament.
Are they going to remove all of the bells that run the length of the state marking the mission trail? Are they going to force the Catholic Church to tear down all of the churches and missions he founded? Are they abandoning and rejecting God for paganism? Have they changed their laws to allow gay marriage and to kill unborn children right up until the moment of birth? They have gone so far away from our Christian founding and moral laws that I fear they have tested the patience of God to the breaking point. Prayer has not stopped or turned the left wing leaders of this state from evil and nothing good will come from their destruction of California history and moral teaching and tradition.
Make the face the old redskins logo.
Loved the picture of Jay Strongbow. His real name was Joe Scarpa, an Italian American born in Philadelphia. And he often wrestled with Jules Strongbow his supposed brother. Jules real name was Frances Huntington, and he wrestled under many different names:
Bruce Huntington
Chief Frank Hill
Chief Jules Strongbow
Chief Running Hill
Frank Hill
Frankie Hill
Frank Running Hill
Jules Strongbow
Unlike Jay, it is reported Jules (his stage name) was an American Indian in real life and was actually a member of the Omaha tribe in Nebraska. Jay to my knowledge only used two names during his wrestling career, Jules and his real name Joe Scarpa. He took the Indian moniker in 1970 wrestling in the WWWF with McMahan.

I remember watching him back in the day, along with the Iron Sheik and Haystacks Calhoun, Freddie Blassie, and a bunch of others I can’t remember any more.
I grew out of it after I realized that they weren’t really trying to kill each other.
Progressives prefer paganism.
Paganism goes better with baby killing, genderism, homosexuality and so forth than Christ does.
And story of his life is really saintly.
He left plush job as Spanish University professor, to minister to the natives.
He was Franciscan and hold himself in utmost poverty.
E.g. he walked thousands of miles form Veracruz to San Francisco and back to Mexico City, just because riding horse would be against his wow of poverty!
I vote for a grammar pedant.
Who writes this stuff anymore?
... especially when this is not complicated.
Who or whom? It's a simple matter of answering the question with a pronoun. Nominative = who; objective = whom.
Who Will it Honor?
It will honor him. Whom.
Who writes this stuff?
He writes this stuff. Who.
The state of professional standards these days...
Of course if Hu is being honored, then Sum Ting Wong.
Time for a little levity from Johnny Carson.
Aye.
And don’t let me catch you ending a sentence with a preposition!
Actually a good idea -- wipe the Spanish history of California right off the books, because, diversity.
“Why do they need to disrespect Junipero Serra? Everything I’ve heard about St. Junipero Serra was that he was a good man. Why are the Left so hell bent on destruction?”
Actually he was. He had no control or power over what the military did, and there was no stopping it anyhow. But in his position he did everything in his powers to protect the indigenous from the brutal military actions. He showed more compassion and loyalty to the indigenous than his own countrymen. He paid referee and saved a LOT of the indigenous.
“I grew out of it after I realized that they weren’t really trying to kill each other.”
I was around as a young kid when it was still real. In my home town there was a man who lived there while he was wrestling in the San Joaquin Valley and Los Angeles and his name was Nils Phillip Olafsson. He was the original Swedish Angel and back in the 30’s into the 50’s what he did was real. My father told me that he was in the ring with a guy who gouged his eyes on purpose. So the Angel picked him up and threw him into the ringside seats. Broke a lot of bones, but he lived.
Olafsson was six foot six and weighed well over 300 pounds of all muscle and was one of the tallest competitors during the heyday of wrestling after World War II. I met him after his career was mostly over in the 1950’s. He passed in Utah in 1974. Big guy.

Sacramento
California city, settled 1839, named for its river (1808), from Spanish sacramento, in honor of the Holy Sacrament (see sacrament).
Entries linking to sacramento
sacrament (n.)
late Old English, in Christian use, “an outward and visible sign of inward and spiritual grace,” especially “a sacrament of the Church, one of the religious ceremonies enjoined by Christ or the Church,” and later specifically “the sacrament of the Eucharist” (c. 1300), from Old French sacrament “consecration; mystery” (12c., Modern French sacrement) and directly from Latin sacramentum, “a solemn oath” (source also of Spanish sacramento, German Sakrament, etc.), from sacrare “to consecrate” (see sacred).
A Church Latin loan-translation of Greek mysterion (see mystery). The Latin word sacramentum in its secular aspect was used of any engagement or ceremony that binds or imposes obligation, specifically “oath of obedience and fidelity taken by Roman soldiers on enlistment; sum which two parties to a suit first deposit,” hence also, “a cause, a civil suit,” thus either “a result of consecration” or “a means of consecration.” By 3c. it was used in Church Latin for “a mystery, a sacrament, something to be kept sacred; the gospel revelation; a Church sacrament.” In theology, particularly, “a solemn religious ceremony enjoined by Christ, or by the church, for the spiritual benefit of the church or of individual Christians, by which their special relation to him is created or recognized or their obligations to him are renewed and ratified.”
The meaning “arcane knowledge; a secret; a mystery; a divine mystery” in English is from late 14c. (Wyclif); from mid-14c. as “a solemn oath, pledge, covenant; a ceremony accompanying the taking of an oath or the making of a pledge.” The seven sacraments in the West were baptism, penance, confirmation, holy orders, the Eucharist, matrimony, and anointing of the sick (extreme unction); the Reformation loosened the sense in England.
