World Series: LA Dodgers BEAT NY Yanks

VIDEO: Livestream of video free on YouTube until MLB complained right after the game finished

Planet of the Apes, devolving (Bizarro)

Hooray for Buddhist Japan and Los Angeles, as Asian fans are more excited about this Dodgers' win than the diehards who just lost Mexican legend Fernando Valenzuela on the eve of his birthday.

Shohei "Show Me The Money" Ohtani injured himself (shoulder subluxation, meaning he pulled it and it popped back), trying to steal a base to pull off this great win against the Less Coast (East), proving that the West Coast is the Best Coast, if rappers are to be believed.

It's mayhem on the streets of the City of Lost Angels as riots begin to form in some parts of the megalopolis. Police prepared in advance to over-police the heck out of sports fans who get too rowdy, as Israel rejoices that there is yet another distraction from their ongoing and expanding genocide.

Israeli is ethnically cleansing the Palestinians off land it stole with the secret dream being revealed of a future "Greater Israel," a Jewish empire (in alliance with Western powers, weapons, geopolitical influence, resource extraction, and full spectrum dominance like the colonial British rulers dreamed of exercising) that expands into Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Yemen, and Iran, with Egypt ceding even more land for Israel' settler colonial project of Ashkenazi (European) Jews in the Middle East.

PM/Dictator Bibi Netanyahu's reign of terror can continue undisturbed until the U.S. election is settled, which will not be for weeks or months, until the transfer of power and installation of Pres. Vance, the ultimate winner in all this.

The original Planet of the Apes tried to warn us: If "religion is the opiate of the masses," sport is the stimulant, the caffeine fiending to meth devouring mover and shaker of the sheeple. Therefore, let us all chant our unofficial national mantra:

"Go our side! Down with the other side! Hooray! USA, USA, USA!!!" (lol)

All hail New York, for the last shall be the first in the unfolding of deeds and their repercussions as they cycle on endlessly in this continued-wandering-on called samsara.

Oh thoughtless mortals! ever blind to fate,

Too soon dejected, and too soon elate!

Sudden, these honors shall be snatch'd away,

And curs'd for ever this victorious day.

- Alexander Pope

Cinco de Mayo (May 5) in the age of Trump

AP (ap.org, May 4, 2017); Pfc. Sandoval, Ashley Wells, Crystal Quintero (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

(Pero Like) Sh*t you should not say on Cinco de Mayo even if you're a well-meaning Gringo

Maya Martinez, a manager at the Rio Bravo Brewing Company in Albuquerque, N.M., pours a craft brew, May 3, 2017, days before the brewery was set to unveil a new drink on Cinco de Mayo. Pres. Trump's immigration policies and rhetoric are leaving some Mexican Americans (Chicanos) and immigrants feeling at odds with a day they already thought was appropriated by beer and liquor companies, event promoters and local bars (AP).

Cinco de Mayo met with more ambivalence in the age of Trump

I love Mexicans, rapists, and drug dealers.

ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico - For years, Yazmin Irazoqui Ruiz saw Cinco de Mayo ("Fifth of May") as a reason to eat tacos and listen to Mexican music.

The 25-year-old Mexican-born medical student left Mexico for the U.S. as a child and celebrates the day to honor a homeland she hardly remembers.

But the Albuquerque, New Mexico, resident said she's reluctant to take part in Cinco de Mayo festivities this year as President Don Trump steps up federal immigration enforcement and supporters back his call for the building of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

"I mean, what is it about? You want to eat our food and listen to our music, but when we need you to defend us, where are you?" Irazoqui Ruiz asked about the wave of anti-immigrant sentiment in the country.

(FLAMA/TheFlama.com) Celebrate this 4th of July like Americans celebrate Cinco de Mayo. We'll be drunk by 11 am, put ketchup on everything, and have absolutely no idea what we’re celebrating…Battle of the 4th?

 
She isn't alone. Trump's immigration policies and rhetoric are leaving some Mexican Americans and immigrants feeling at odds with a holiday they already thought was appropriated by beer and liquor companies, event promoters, and bars.

Why? What is Cinco de Mayo?

Latino activists and scholars say that ambivalence is bolstered by the hazy history of Cinco de Mayo and by stereotypes exploited by marketers.

Battle of Pubela: Mexican Indians vs. French invaders

The once-obscure holiday marking a 19th century-battle between Mexico and invading French forces is now a regular celebration in the U.S., where partygoers flock to bars for cheap margaritas and tacos. Television beer commercials often show mostly white actors on a beach celebrating.

"The narrative around Cinco de Mayo seems to say, 'This day really isn't yours'," said Cynthia Duarte, a sociology professor at California Lutheran University.

There doing what in Missouri?!

Tequila company Jose Cuervo is playing off the notion that the holiday is largely overlooked south of the border by throwing a party in a small Missouri town called Mexico: More than 90 percent of people there are white and less than 2.5 percent of Mexican descent. The company is marketing the event on its Facebook page as "Mexico's First Cinco de Mayo."

 

"Consumers consistently tell us that Cinco de Mayo is a great way for them to reconnect with people they care about and enjoy a few cervezas," said John Alvarado, vice president of marketing for Corona beer, which is made by Anheuser-Busch InBev.

  

Mexican 4th of July?

Chicano farm champion Cesar Chavez

Often mistaken for Mexican Independence Day (September 16th), Cinco de Mayo commemorates the 1862 Battle of Puebla.

That battle was between the victorious ragtag army of largely Mexican-Indian soldiers against the invading French forces of Napoleon III.

The day is barely observed in Mexico, but was celebrated in California by Latinos and abolitionists who linked the victory to the fight against slavery.

 

During the Chicano Movement of the 1970s, Mexican Americans adopted Cinco de Mayo for its David vs. Goliath story line as motivation in civil rights struggles. This year... More

Buddha Boy Documentary (5)

Discovery Channel

NEPAL -- A documentary on Ram Bahadur Bomjon ("Buddha Boy") who has been meditating for three years without food or water. Ram is known by many as a bodhisattva (someone who bent on full enlightenment and aiming for buddhahood). It is a misnomer and a mistake to think Ram is a "reincarnation" of the historical Buddha (Shakyamuni). A buddha is not reborn, but rather has destroyed the delusion, aversion, and greed that lead beings to continued rebirth.
