John McMullen Show Radio111

John McMullen has crawled out of the COVID Hole and left his fetal position as the United States of America seems destined to swirl around a drain caught in a funnel it may not escape. Is there hope to overcome the Invasion of the Maggots from Earth 2? And, just what is "Normal" when it comes to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Maybe THAT is The Big Lie.

John McMullen has exited the management suite and is back solely as Podcaster. The mask mandates are leaving but he's keeping his KN95 handy and thinks that you should, too. As if that's not enough, McMullen is sick and tired of his Millennial and Gen Z friends tossing around the word 'Boomer' like it's a pejorative. His suggestion is rather than blame other generations for what precedes you, focus on fixing things like he has rather than just griping about it!
Presented by El Portal Mexican Restaurant in Cathedral City.

As the California Legislature gets back to work in the New Year, 56th District Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia recaps achievements in 2021 and objectives for 2022 and beyond with John McMullen.

In this episode, they talk about census-related redistricting, affordable housing projects, new park grants, regional and global climate change matters, environmental and economic concerns at the Salton Sea, post-secondary education in the desert cities, and the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on people and businesses.

Samantha Porter, Admissions Director for Elite Cosmetology School, talks about the Palm Desert-based programs they offer to people seeking a new career path with their trade school based in the Palm Desert Mall. As people are looking to change career directions or start their professional lives with an artistic flair, find out about the opportunities and what is involved in becoming a barber, an esthetician, or cosmetologist and the fun and dynamic environment Elite offers students here in the Coachella Valley.

John McMullen welcomes education reporter Jonathan Horwitz from the Desert Sun back to the show to discuss the latest drama involving a city in the Western Coachella Valley raising concerns about shifting plans by the region's junior college involving placement of a new campus. Recent plans to abandon Cathedral City where the school was to open its new automotive repair school and shop has caught the attention of the City of Palm Springs, where the plans for a West Campus have not moved beyond clearing away a former shopping mall and currently stands as a large dirt patch adjacent to the Palm Springs Cultural Center. This week, the City Council will vote on whether to send an official letter and demand information on how funding from nearly $1 Billion in bond measures have been spent to date. C.O.D. leadership says they still plan to build the campus, but city officials say that the new college President and Superintendent has thus far been unwilling to guarantee that this it the case. Where does it all sit? Jonathan shares details on where the matter sits.

Larry Davis has spent five decades giving comfort and aide to people at life's toughest moments. As Vice President for the Coachella Valley region at Forest Lawn, he has been a part of celebrating the lives of tens of thousands of people. But, doing our loved ones justice in terms of how we share about their lives can be a difficult task. Larry discusses the challenges people face at these deeply sorrowful occasions and even shares how people in the funeral business can be as deeply affected as those who do not have to deal with death day in and day out. He also talks about the importance of pre-planning these types of services over leaving the details to your loved ones.
