GOP Senate Chances Run Seven!

The turtle could be the next Senate majority leader! The Weeper of the House and the Turtle both opposed the president's policies and done relatively nothing. But they're offered the opportunity to destroy the economy again!

It seems like all this rabble rousing and blatant disrespect paid off for the president's most fiercest critics.

If the election was held today, the Democrats would be swept out of political office again!

I predict that the U.S. Senate will be in the control of the Republicans. The Republicans will gain seven senate seats. Enough for them to take back a razor thin majority in the U.S. Senate.

Republicans are more motivated in the south and west.

Do you believe the Republicans are motivate enough to take back the Senate?

Feds Put An End To Sexual Offender's Murder Spree!

Indiana man confessed to killing Chicago area prostitutes. His crimes could go back 20 years.

Chicagoland can rest easy knowing that a sick killer is off the street. For years, a serial killer was stalking prostitutes. The prostitutes were unaware that this killer was posed to do more than get his fixation. He would often strangle and rape these innocent victims.

First things first, we here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the families of those who were lost in this senseless tragedy.

I am guessing that Darren Vann's mindset was "no one would ever know". He thought the "bitch had it coming".

Well this sick man confessed to murdering a 19 year old teen who was a prostitute. This man was a sexual offender who was apparently a "low" risk sexual offender. He had being label an offender in Austin, Texas some years ago.

This young woman Afrikka Hardy along with six other women were found in areas within Gary and Hammond, Indiana.

Anith Jones, Teairra Batey, Christine Williams were mentioned by the junk food media.

CBS News reports that Hammond Police Chief John Doughty said Vann, of Gary, Ind., confessed to killing Afrikka Hardy, a 19-year-old woman whose body was found Friday in a Motel 6 in Hammond, and indicated to authorities there could be more victims going back 20 years.
Vann was charged Monday in the strangulation death of Hardy.

Anith Jones and Afrikka Hardy were victims of a crazed sexual predator. This nutjob strangled and raped his victims. He would later bury the bodies near abandoned homes.

Doughty said Vann met Hardy at the motel after responding to an ad posted on a Chicago-area website advertising prostitution.

Another woman facilitated the meeting between Hardy and Vann and called police when she received suspicious text messages from Hardy's phone, Doughty said. Fearing for Hardy's safety, she called a male friend and went to the hotel, where they found Hardy's body and called police.
Doughty said the woman who facilitated the meeting provided investigators with Vann's phone number and police tracked him down in Gary.

Doughty said Vann was cooperative during his arrest and said "he had messed up by committing the crime in Hammond and was surprised by how quickly he was located."

Following his arrest, investigators say Vann then told them where six other bodies could be found in abandoned homes in Gary.

One of those bodies was found Saturday night in an abandoned home there. The coroner said family members identified her as 35-year-old Anith Jones of Merrillville, Ind., who had been missing since Oct. 8.

The five other bodies were found on Sunday in various Gary homes - including two more in the same home where Jones' body was found on Saturday, the coroner's office said Monday. Autopsies are pending on the three women found in that one house. The causes of death were not specified for all the victims.

The other victims have been identified by police as 28-year-old Teairra Batey, of Gary; 36-year-old Christine Williams, of Gary; and 3 unidentified African American females.

Gary Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson said only Anith Jones was reported missing, perhaps indicating that Vann "preyed on individuals that might be less likely to be reported missing."

Authorities say the investigation into the deaths is ongoing.

This is a police sting operation of an Indiana transsexual prostitute. 

"It is possible that the investigation will lead to more victims," Police Chief Doughty said, adding that Vann's alleged crimes could go back 20 years.

Vann was convicted in 2009 of sexual assaulting a 25-year-old female in Texas and was sentenced to five years in prison. The state's sex offender registry lists Vann as being a "low" risk.

The victim in the 2009 case told police she went to Vann's apartment, where he asked if she was a police officer. After she told him no, he knocked her down and began to strangle and beat her, hitting her several times in the face and telling the woman he could kill her. He then raped her.

Vann allowed the woman to leave and she called police the next day.

Joanne Bogella Passes Away!

Former American Idol contestant passed away this weekend.

Tragic circumstances happened to singer/entertainer Joanne Bogella. We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Bogella.

She was signed to Wilhelmina Models in New York City, Miami and LA. She was the first winner of Mo'Nique's Fat Chance pageant as "Miss F.A.T." in 2005 and a top 24 contestant on the seventh season of American Idol in 2008. Borgella died October 18, 2014, due to a rare form of endometrial cancer that had spread to her brain.

Borgella shared a video alerting her fans that she had been diagnosed with cancer. Through a series of videos, Borgella continued to update those following her journey. "It's a rare case because it's spread to my chest," Borgella shared during her first video, "but it's really not about a stage [of disease]. God is with me and I feel his presence every day. I just wanted to share this information with everyone to let them know what I'm going through and I'm going to update everyone every week as much as I can."

Borgella shared that she was suffering through very painful headaches and, upon going to the emergency room to figure out what was going on, she found out that the cancer spread to her brain. Borgella died on October 18, 2014 at 5:45 a.m.

She was 32.

Borgella, of Haitian descent, was originally from Oyster Bay Cove, Long Island, New York. At the age of 13 she attended Union School in Haiti where her father, Dr. Joel Borgella, ran for President in the 2006 presidential elections. Her father is the founder of Radio Tropicale, the first international Haitian radio station. Borgella went on to attend private school at the Academy of St. Joseph's in Long Island for her last two years of high school and graduated in 2000. Her mother's name is Danielle Ford.

That's My Negro!

The controversial rancher in Nevada comes back with his boy. His boy is running for Congress and he's bucking the rancher's assertions that the Negros were better off picking cotton.


Cliven Bundy the rancher who currently in a standoff with federal authorities has came out an endorsed an insurgent candidate who happens to be Black.

Kamau Bakari, a perennial candidate from Nevada is running on the Independent American Party, a far right political third party. He hopes that a real conservative stands with him over the actual Republican nominee for the U.S. House.

Bakari has ran for House in the 1st Congressional District and the newly created 4th Congressional District.

The 1st Congressional District is being being held by Dina Titus.

The 4th Congressional District is being held by Steven Horsford.

The old fool was a star on that annoying conservative agitator's program. When the rancher's cattle strolled on federal lands, Bundy was fined. Bundy refused to pay and it lead to them taking the steps to round up his cattle.

Loserville came to the rancher's aid. They went all in and agitated anti-gubmint White Nationalists to the Bundy ranch. Thus sparking an ongoing stand up with the federal authorities.

That annoying agitator pulled back support after videos were released of Bundy saying some not so nice things about Black people.

 Kamau Bakari

Now after six months of not being in the news, Bundy comes back. He even dares retiring Attorney General Eric Holder to see him and his armed buddies.

The Raw Story reports that Bakari is running to represent the state’s 1st Congressional District. Bundy and his wife registered as voters with the Independent American Party this past May, following an event celebrating his “courage in standing up for state sovereignty” by refusing to pay grazing fees for his cows’ use of federally-owned land.

The ad begins with footage of Holder’s February 2009 “nation of cowards” speech regarding racial tensions in the U.S., labeling him as a “race-baiter.” It then shifts to a scene of Bakari and Bundy, both wearing “cowboy” attire, complaining about the speech.

“I know Black folks have a had a hard time with slavery and you know, the government was in on it. And the government’s in on it again,” Bundy tells Bakari. “I worked my whole life without mistreating anybody. A man ought to be able to express himself without being called names.”

“I hear you, Cliven, and I believe you,” Bakari responds. “A brave white man like you might be just what we need to put an end to this political correctness stuff in America.”

Bundy became a conservative media darling earlier this year with his show of defiance toward federal regulations, eventually attracting hundreds of supporters, several of them armed, to his Nevada ranch. However, he was quickly abandoned after the New York Times published his statements regarding “the Negro.”

 Kamau Bakari should ask this annoying conservative agitator for airtime.

“I've often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things,” Bundy stated at the time. “Or are they better off under government subsidy? They didn't get no more freedom. They got less freedom.”

According to Politifact, Bakari is considered a heavy underdog in his race to unseat incumbent Rep. Dina Titus (D). His party platform states that “throughout human history, most men have been slaves to man’s institutions of government” and argues against not only the Affordable Care Act, but “mandatory medication or vaccinations” and collective bargaining agreements for workers.

Added this old fool says this little gem.

“This is one white man who’s not scared to talk about race,” Bundy says in the ad for Independent American Party candidate Kamau Bakari. “I dare you to come to Las Vegas and talk to us.”

“And don’t give us that ‘you’re too busy’ stuff,” Bakari says. “You weren't too busy to go to Ferguson, Missouri.”

Republicans Use "WILLIE HORTON" In Attempt To Win!

Oh, the scary old guy next to the scary Black guy. The Republicans will do everything in their power to defeat President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party. This ad features a Nebraska state senator pictured next to an Omaha area serial killer.

The National Republican Congressional Committee released a television ad in Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District on Friday that ties the Democratic candidate to a convicted felon.

I would say that our friends on the right aren't ashamed. They don't give a fuck about Black people.

After all convincing those scared folks that a contender is "soft" on crime, is one of the oldest tricks in the Republican playbook.

Wondering if Loserville is running those ads on that annoying conservative agitator's program?

The Huffington Post and major news outlets are reporting that this controversy is the latest attempt in driving the WHITE PEOPLE'S PARTY to victory. They will use every dirty trick to beat President Barack Obama. And today this one.

A "BLACK" CONVICTED FELON IS BEING USED IN THIS REPUBLICAN ATTACK AD!

The Republicans are hoping that Lee Terry could pull an advantage. By using "Willie Horton" in an political ad, the racist right will be able to win a seat that's highly contested.

The ad hits state Sen. Brad Ashford (D), who is posing a strong challenge to Rep. Lee Terry (R-Neb.), for supporting the state's "good time" law, which is more than two decades old. The law gives prisoners a day off their sentence for every day they spend behind bars without violating prison rules. Nikko Jenkins, the subject of the ad, served just half of his 21-year prison sentence even though he reportedly displayed episodes of violent behavior while incarcerated. He is accused of killing four people in a 10-day span after his early release in 2013.

Congressman Lee Terry (R-NE).

"The head of the Omaha police union says Nikko Jenkins is the posterchild for why the 'good time' law is a farce," the NRCC ad's narrator says. "Brad Ashford supported the 'good time' law and still supports it, allowing criminals like Nikko Jenkins to be released early."

The ad ends with Jenkins' mugshot displayed next to a picture of Ashford.

The NRCC's ad was immediately compared Friday to the infamous "Willie Horton" spot Republicans ran against Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis in 1988. It linked the former Massachusetts governor to Horton, who went on a violent spree while on a weekend furlough from prison. That ad was criticized for its racial implications.

In a preview to the new ad, Terry held a press conference last week linking Ashford to the murders, arguing that the Democrat had opposed modifications to the law.

NRCC spokesman Tyler Q. Houlton said last week that the GOP is not worried about Terry's campaign, but rather felt compelled to highlight Ashford's legislative record.

"This is why we are helping Lee Terry and helping the voters get to know who Brad Ashford is because as soon as they see all this stuff and realize what this guy stands for, there's no way they're going to vote for him," Houlton said.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee called on the NRCC to take the ad off the air after it was released, accusing Republicans of "playing up racial stereotypes" and "fear-mongering" in order to save Terry. The race between the two candidates has been unexpectedly competitive, in a district former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney won by 7 points in 2012. In television ads, Democrats have been reminding voters of Terry's comments last year when he defended accepting his paycheck during the GOP-induced government shutdown.

On Friday, Ashford's campaign compared the latest ad to another spot Terry's campaign released that links the Democrat to beheadings by the Islamic State, or ISIS.

"Between Congressman Terry's fear mongering on beheadings yesterday and this latest ad today, it's clear that Congressman Terry is fearing for his political life and will say and do anything to keep his $174,000 salary," Ashford's campaign manager, Kurt Gonska, said in a statement Friday. "He's not ready for voters to send him into retirement and back to his 'nice house.'"

Democrats see the district as a rare opportunity to oust a Republican congressional incumbent, given that Terry won his re-election in 2012 by just 2 points.

Charge It To The Game!

The president tries to do normal things with his wife. Somehow even as normal as a declined card, the racist right goes into the ranting and  raving about.

If President Barack Obama had luck on his side. Unemployment would be at 4%, the fuel prices will sink to $1.99 a gallon, the Democrats would be able to pass legislation in a super majority Congress.

Alas, it's not happening. For you see the Republicans, the party of White people has managed to take the message war into their grasps. They can use the junk food media to promote their agenda and send the spineless lily-liver Democrats back to the minority.

For you see the news only gets worse for an already lame duck president.

Apparently the president and First Lady Michelle Obama went out to eat. Of course, he paid for his order using his charge card. CBS New York reports that Obama's credit card was declined last month while dining in New York,

President Barack Obama wondered if he had become a victim of identity theft.

“It turned out, I guess I don’t use it enough,” Obama said Friday at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

“They thought there was some fraud going on,” he said, chatting while announcing a government plan to tighten security for debit cards that transfer federal benefits like Social Security to millions of Americans.

“I was trying to explain to the waitress ‘No, I really think that I've been paying my bills.”’

Fortunately first lady Michelle Obama was able to whip out a credit card they could use.

Employees at Estela, the New York restaurant where Obama dined on Sept. 24 while attending the U.N. General Assembly, said they couldn't discuss the credit card issue, the Associated Press reported.

Photos of the president’s order had been posted on the restaurant’s Instagram page but have since been taken down. The food blog, Epicurious, captured the images and detailed the order in a Sept. 25 post, saying the first couple ate “two orders of endive salad and burrata with salsa verde, tomatoes, and salt cod croquettes.”

Identity theft is a growing problem and an estimated 100 million people have been affected by security breaches in the past year at retailers like Target and Home Depot.

“Even I’m affected by this,” he said.

Last Friday, Kmart became the latest retailer to announce a data breach in its payment systems.

A day earlier, Dairy Queen announced that 395 of its locations – including several in the Tri-State Area, had been affected by a data breach that left credit and debit card numbers vulnerable.

A week earlier, JPMorgan Chase & Co. said a data breach affected 76 million households and 7 million small businesses that use its banking services.

Last month, Home Depot confirmed that 56 million credit and debit cards were likely affected by a data breach the breach between April and September at stores in the U.S. and Canada. The breach amounted to the second largest for a retailer on record.

In December of last year, Target Corp. disclosed that about 40 million credit and debit cards may have been affected by the data breach that happened between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15, just as the holiday shopping season was shifting into high gear.

The UPS Store, Michaels, SuperValu, P.F. Chang’s restaurants, and Neiman Marcus have also been affected by data breaches this year.

Obama signed an executive order Friday creating a new plan called BuySecure. Cards issued by the federal government will now have an internal chip replacing magnetic strips to reduce the potential for fraud.

In addition, the government will apply the security chips and personal identification numbers, called PINS, that replace signatures to all existing and newly issued government credit cards, Obama said. Payment terminals at federal government facilities will be equipped to handle cards with the new technology.

Obama’s executive order also calls for the government to take new measures to help victims of identity theft. The Federal Trade Commission will develop a new website for consumers to report identity theft and remedy errors with credit reporting.

And Obama called on Congress to enact a single national standard for retailers to notify consumers of data breaches, to replace a patchwork of state laws. Proposals have languished in Congress.

Obama noted that Home Depot Inc., Target Corp., Walgreen Co. and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. plan to install payment terminals in their stores equipped to handle cards with digital security chips and PINS.

The racist right is so obsessed with the president.

Obama also cited a plan by American Express Co. to support small businesses that upgrade their payment terminals with more secure standards, and a program by payments processor Visa Inc. to inform consumers and merchants about the new technologies.

In the wake of the massive data breaches, banks and retailers have sped the adoption of digital chips for credit and debit cards. They've set a deadline of October 2015 for wide use of chips in cards and payment terminals.

Even in honest taste, the issue is serious. The president isn't immune to credit card theft. However, the president also will have skeptics who criticize his every move.

Saying this actually happened will be the first thing that comes out of one of the commentators on the racist right. They'll use the old "Well he's already blown the country's money down the drain" narrative.

Raven-Symoné: I'm American And Proud!

Younger Raven-Symoné.

Last year the actress made the news when she made her "outing".

Now the entertainer Raven-Symoné wants to tell the world that she identifies herself as American first, everything else last.

That got the junk food media's attention.

When talking the queen of daytime Oprah Winfrey, the actress addressed her heritage and her possible roots tracing back to the earlier times.

"I'm tired of being labeled, I'm an American. I'm not an African-American; I'm an American."

Also Oprah asked the actress about her dating life. Well of course, she admitted that she's dating a woman but doesn't want to be labeled a "lesbian".

"I don't want to be labeled gay, I want to be a human who loves humans."

Some didn't take kind to the words

"I'm not African American I'm American."- Raven Symone The Black Race wants to trade her for this guy pic.twitter.com/oYDVsPD9O7

Lol wait wait wait....Raven Symone. Girl. "I didn't say I'm not black!" But you said you're colorless. Words mean things!
— Rhymes with Sara (@BirdOfTaradise) October 11, 2014

Poor @TheRevAl ...... Had 1 white dude & 2 Black women on ALL UP IN ARMS that #RavenSymone said,"I'm not African-American, I'm American!"
— SeldenGADawgs (@SeldenGADawgs) October 7, 2014

And of course the entertainer slams her critics. She said that "Of course, she's Black". She doesn't want the world to see her as this "BLACK" entertainer who happens to be a "LESBIAN".

A mild controversy for the former Disney star.

What's your opinion on this?
