Spring Backwards!

Since Republicans took full control of Congress, we've seen the beginning of a weaken economy. The president will continue to issue executive orders to get the ball rolling.

Well, we're in the first two months of a full Republican controlled Congress. Since they've taken control of Congress, we've expected that the job market was to start stalling. I am proven right.

The month of March netted less than 126,000 jobs giving this Spring quarter weak growth. That means the unemployment number will stall at 5.5%

Numerous factors come forth. Weather. 

We've experience a rough Winter in the month of March. Many of the factors according to the AP include a weakened U.S. economy. 

The Labor Department says the unemployment rate remained at 5.5 percent. Economic growth has been hammered this year by winter weather, factory slowdowns and lackluster construction activity. The manufacturing, construction and government sectors each shed workers, while hiring at restaurants plunged from February.

Job gains in February and January were revised down by 69,000.

Wage growth remains modest. Average hourly wages rose 7 cents to $24.86 an hour in March.

Past job growth along with cheaper gasoline has yet to significantly boost consumer spending. A continued deceleration in hiring could delay the Federal Reserve from raising interest rates mid-year.

This ends the longest streak of over 200,000 jobs.

See Republicans haven't passed legislation that offers incentives to businesses, a jobs bill,  a student loans bill and unemployment benefits. Things that the spineless Democrats were going to pass until they got fired out of the cannon.

Deputy Dogg!

Big Snoop posed with man working for the 5-O in Texas. The law wanted to fire the man for the pose.

Big Snoop Dogg once again pisses off the racist right. Back in March he appeared at the SXSW in Austin. He posted his daily routine on Instagram. The social media and the junk food media is pissed that the rap veteran posed with a Texas state trooper.

According to the Texas Department of  Public Safety,Trooper Billy Spears got reprimanded by superiors for allowing rapper Snoop Dogg to take a picture with him.

The Dallas Morning News reports Clevenger said the Gilmer-based trooper was called to Austin two weeks ago to help work during the music festival. Spears was in uniform with the distinctive Stetson in a secured area when the rap star and actor stopped and asked if he could get a quick photo with the trooper.

Clevenger said Snoop Dogg’s publicist took the picture.

Snoop Dogg posted the picture on Instagram, along with the line, “Me n my deputy dogg”

DPS officials saw the posting and cited Spears for deficiencies that require counseling for posing with a known criminal.

Calvin Broadus, aka Snoop Dogg, has been convicted several times of drug possession. In 1993, he faced a murder charge when his bodyguard shot and killed a rival gang member. Snoop Dogg and the bodyguard eventually were acquitted of the charge.


Clevenger said that Spears, had no knowledge of drug convictions.

“Troopers get called down to work these events all the time and sometimes people want a picture with them,” Clevenger said.

Because the action taken against Spears called for “counseling” and was not a formal disciplinary action, the trooper has no means of appeal.

The counseling reprimand read: “While working a secondary employment job, Trooper Spears took a photo with a public figure who has a well-known criminal background including numerous drug charges. The public figure posted the photo on social media and it reflects poorly on the Agency.”

Me n my deputy dogg 🔫🌟✨

An entertainer poses with the law and the Texas Board of Safety orders the officer to get counseling.

There's something else brewing between Spears and his superiors. He once complained to higher ups about inappropriate behavior by some in the uniform.

He believes its retaliation.

Snoop Dogg teams up with Pharrell again. His newest album BUSH will be released on Columbia Records in May. Last album was a reggae album when he called himself Big Snoop Lion.

Snoop Dogg appeared with Hulk Hogan at a honorary WWE introduction. He also was at the Justin Bieber Comedy Central Roast.

NSA Shooting: The Suspects Were Geekin' Transgender Prostitutes!

Ricky "Maya" Shawatza Hall was killed by the law after she crashed into the gates of the NSA. The FBI and Maryland state police determined that the suspect was a transgender prostitute who was trying flee the law after a botched robbery.

There was a story coming from the Washington, DC area. One suspect was killed after police opened fire on the vehicle that crashed through the gates of the National Security Administration near Fort Meade.

The suspects were apparently trying to flee the law after being tipped off that they stolen a vehicle.

Well the suspect Ricky Shawatza Hall (who goes by the name Maya) and her friend Kevin Fleming (unknown street name) were homeless. They were selling their bodies for drugs, food and shelter.

So Hall and Fleming were on the streets and a 60 year old man saw them. He picks them up and offers them an opportunity to make money. He figured that he was going to pay them at least $100 for a few hours and take them back to the streets. The suspects told the trick that he had to take a shower with them. So he gets undressed in the bathroom while the suspects clean his wallet and took his keys. As soon as he heard the door slam, the trick realized he was robbed.

Kevin Fleming's mugshot as a man. 

The suspects were geekers. Two prostitutes who robbed a trick. The suspects were transgender prostitutes from Baltimore who were picked up by a trick. The trick took them to a hotel in nearby Elkridge, MD. He probably knew the suspects were male. And he probably was a married man.

So the trick called the law, gave a description of the vehicle and told the law that they are within miles of the hotel.

Hall was driving the vehicle and Fleming was the passenger.

Hall exited off  MD State Route 295 (The Baltimore-Washington Parkway) near the NSA. There is an exit that is restricted to non-NSA officials.

They went into a restricted area. The officers immediately order the vehicle to stop.

According to the FBI, they refused order and plowed right through the gate. As soon as they plowed through the gate, the officers opened fire on the vehicle. Hall and Fleming were struck by the lead.

Hall crashed into a NSA police SUV. Hall was lifeless at the wheel. Fleming was also injured and is surviving on the ventilator. Fleming took a few to the chest.

Now many try to figure out if this was a case of either terrorism or just another horrible incident in which an unarmed suspect was killed by trigger happy cops.

We know they were suspects in a stolen vehicle. The suspects did have traces of the rock in possession and a firearm in the vehicle. The firearm probably belonged to the trick.

The sheet is over the suspect. The car was riddled with led. A NSA police unit vehicle destroyed.

The Howard County Sheriff may charge the trick for prostitution. The trick will probably have to have a bit of family counseling and a HIV test. Since he wasn't on the NSA property, his name isn't going to be released to the junk food media. Although, he may have a sense of vindication after the prostitutes were given a lead sandwich, the real problem lies between him and his wife. He doesn't have a vehicle to get to work. It's evidence. The trick's wife now believe her husband is gay or bisexual. He will probably have a cloud of shame hanging around him. He probably will be it doing again, but for the time being, he will have a lot of explaining to do with wife and family.

The FBI and Howard County Sheriff will determine if charges will be filed against Fleming should she survives the injuries. for theft, destruction of government property, drug and weapons possession and prostitution.

Hall end up paying the ultimate price. The bag 'em ups will do an autopsy on the suspect. They will determine if the suspect was binged on cocaine when this event happened. Maya earned herself a coffin and hundreds of mourners.

Expect the Westboro Baptist Church to picket the funeral.

The unfortunate tales of the grimy Baltimore streets. They thought in order to stay alive, they had to geek from tricks. They were accused of stealing from prostitutes, tricks, and charity.

I am assuming that Hall and Fleming came out as gay when they were young. They were rejected by family. They experience sex at an early age. I am guessing a family member or a male friend raped them when they were young. They were introduced to drugs. They fell in love with their fix and the dope boy. The dope boy would supply them with all their fixes. The only thing they had to do was let them get the loot and a little bit of head.

Hall and Fleming were probably raped, beaten and robbed during them days of hoeing. After all, transgender prostitutes are often beaten, raped, and killed by the tricks or anti-gay bigots.

Hall and Fleming spent time in the city lockup. Hall before had spent time in the iron college.

Transgender prostitutes often face more dangers because they're considered men in drag. Even if some are transitioning into women, some tricks may have a "panic" if they found out they got head from a woman who was biologically born a man.

In human trafficking, the need to satisfy the fix some turn to their friend the dope boy to help them make that money. Drugs are often associated with the hoeing game. The dope boy can become a prostitute's friend (aka pimp).

Pimps take advantage of female and transgender prostitutes. They offer them love and affection. They provide shelter, food and clothes. All they have to do for the pimp, is make them more money.

Do me a favor? Help my friend.

This hotel told the law that the trick was a regular customer.

The pimp will slut shame prostitutes. "You're not pretty. You can't make money if you look like this. You got to wear this in order to make men get you!"

The pimp will physically assault a prostitute. "Shut up bitch!"

Prostitutes will leave their children, legitimate boyfriends and husbands, and family to get a fix.

Crack cocaine and heroin are the common fix for prostitutes. Often prostitutes rely on sugar daddies and other females for protection. The pimp will always control his hoe.

If you don't get in line, you may end up in the white lines.

The FBI and state governments are trying to crack down on human trafficking. They are trying to push for needle exchanges, safe houses for prostitutes who want to leave the business,  harsher penalties for tricks, mandatory HIV testing for offenders, sexual awareness classes and family counseling.

Human trafficking and advocating prostitution could carry LIFE in the iron college.

Prostitution is a misdemeanor that could land the offender in the iron college for up to a year. If the prostitute or trick are HIV+, the charges are bumped to a CLASS THREE FELONY. That could carry up to 15 years in the iron college if the offender is caught.

Geeking is street lingo for stealing properties in order to acquire drugs.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Maya Hall.

Welcome to Northmont Plaza in Englewood, Ohio (A Dying Shopping Center)

Although most of what I seen in Englewood seemed to be in good shape, this shopping center has several vacancies. This probably a good run early on when it was built, but this shopping center is dying

Conservative Outrage Over Trevor Noah!

The right complains about Comedy Central's Trevor Noah. He was chosen to be the new host of The Daily Show. Jon Stewart is leaving the show after 16 years hosting it.

Moments after Comedy Central announced Trevor Noah as the new host of The Daily Show, many on the racist right and the irrational left are calling the comedian/actor an anti-Semite and racist.

For what reason?

Because he tweets some jokes that some agitators never got. The agitators zeroed in on jokes that were posted to Noah's 2 million followers on Twitter. Some pointed out a few offensive jokes about women, Israel and  the Jews. Some criticized his stance on America.

Comedy Central is standing by Noah.

I mean the social media is catnip to agitators and the business community. Many people are often scrutinized for their online behavior. It's unfortunate that the social media can make or break someone.

Noah is a South African comedian who joined The Daily Show late last year. He was the international correspondent. Many conservatives zeroed in on his routine when he discussed the "Spot The Africa".  They claim that the joke was comparing the U.S. to the South African apartheid.

Noah, remarked the "Hands Up Don't Shoot" meme that conservatives are roundly denouncing.

When he was chosen as the new host, the media started to vet him.

Soon the agitators from Newsbusters, The Daily Nothing, and the conservative Craigslist have put his face on their pages. Of course, their readers and followers have often remarked about it in the "nicest" way.

The word vomit from conservatives is predictable. Insert a racial slur, a racial stereotype, claim liberal this, Obama that. Add a ton of condescending remarks about comedians and Hollywood. Throw in mentions of Africa, Muslims, Netanyahu and the Islamic State and sure enough, we a party going on right there in the comment section.

Noah will do fine. Fuck the haters.

If they don't understand the comedy, that's their problem. But if you're a comedian who talks about issues and spin it into comedy, you're going to be provocative and it's going to be truthful.

I mean if you criticize Israel, should you be labeled an anti-Semite for it?

Crime Is Colorless Unless The Junk Food Media Runs The Scary Black Mugshots!

The left exposes a newspaper's yellow journalism. These are the images of men who were accused of criminal acts. Each of these individuals are criminals but who will the racist right look at as more dangerous?

The Raw Story and the blog SoLetsTalkAbout notes the junk food media's profile of White and Black criminals. NO APRIL FOOLS JOKE, it's real.

In Cedar Rapids, The Gazette had to do some explaining. The online website ran two stories about criminal behavior. The difference in between the stories is race. What's surprising is the pictures of the White suspects came from their yearbook and the pictures of the Black suspects were simply mugshots from the county lockup.

The images used of Ross Lembeck, Seth Gross and Logan Ryan, all 19, were taken from the freshman yearbook. All the boys were wearing matching ties.

While the other images used, Kwain E. Crawford, 36; Milton Whitehead, 50; Quentin D.W. Eatman, 24; and Curtis J. Johnson, 29 in same online publication were just that. Those menacing mugs.

The racist right never ceases to amaze me.

Many pointed out that this discrepancy of images gives the reader the impression that these three men were upstanding citizens who just made a mistake. The other images gives the reader the impression they're good for nothing NIGGERS or insert Obama.

This went viral.

The Gazette endorsed perennial loser Mitt Romney for president. Kind of tells you what the publication's political views and how they view criminal acts by people of color.

The Iowa newspaper scrubbed from its website the distinguished images of three University of Iowa wrestlers accused of robbery.

So I am guessing the perception of images gives the media a reason. The same reason to think Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin deserve their deaths at the hands of either the law or a self righteous vigilante.

Religious Freedom Anchors The Ark!

Arkansas Republicans passed its version of religious freedom law and its state governor Asa Hutchinson will sign it into law despite outcry from activists and Walmart.

Governor Mike Pence (R) of Indiana is under intense pressure after he signed into state law this Religious Freedom Restoration Act, a bill that could protect bigoted business if they ban LGBT and non-religious residents. The law would be seen as a backdoor to outright discrimination.

Pence signed it into law last Monday and has been under fire since its signing.

National companies and even the city of Indianapolis' Republican mayor have called upon Pence to reconsider his decision. Pence has no intentions to call for a repeal of the law. However he's going to try to put a Band-Aid on a gunshot wound. He call upon Indiana lawmakers to amend the law to make it clear that no business shall be allowed to discriminate against anyone in his state.

Of course, the damage is done. Many entertainers, state governors and the NCAA have already threatened to bail out on Indy.

With the national championship game for Division I basketball being held in the state. Many athletes from both men and women's college basketball have quietly barked while allowing the coaches and board leaders bite.

Take it about 580 miles down to Little Rock where Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson will sign his state's version of Religious Freedom Restoration.

About a few months into his term, Hutchinson sparked controversy. Hutchinson, a former congressman and attorney for the NRA won the governorship in 2014. He's from a political dynasty that carries from Fort Smith all the way to Washington, DC.

The Huffington Post reports that Walmart, a stable of Arkansas' economy isn't pleased with this decision. The Bentonville-based company has called for Hutchinson to not sign the law.

The bill cleared the Arkansas Legislature and now heads to the governor's desk, where it is expected to be signed. Like the Indiana law, the Arkansas legislation allows a person who feels his or her exercise of religion has been “substantially burdened” to cite that argument as a claim or defense in a private lawsuit. The legislation also grants corporations the right to religious freedom. This language is not in the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), and critics say it could be used to override existing anti-discrimination protections.

Walton's 5-10 store is the first Walmart. Its location is in Bentonville, Arkansas. The area seen a rise in growth. Bentonville and Fayetteville are growing cities. The University of Arkansas, Walmart corporate headquarters sit on the Insterstate 49 corridor. The interstate replaced Interstate 540 and it will eventually travel from Kansas City to Lafayette, Louisiana.

"The Arkansas and Indiana bills are virtually identical in terms of language and intent,” said Sarah Warbelow, legal director at the Human Rights Campaign. “They place LGBT people, people of color, religious minorities, women and many more people at risk of discrimination.”

Earlier in the week, Arkansas lawmakers also tried to head off concerns about that state's bill, approving language that says “the General Assembly finds that it is a compelling governmental interest to comply with federal civil rights laws.”

However, according to Eunice Rho, advocacy and policy counsel at the ACLU, federal civil rights laws have no explicit protections for LGBT people, and this legislative finding -- while helpful -- is not part of the law. “If the Arkansas Legislature is serious about preventing discrimination, they need to write it into the actual code,” she said.

“We would like to see both Indiana and Arkansas adopt language clarifying that the state RFRA cannot be used to undermine federal, state or local non-discrimination laws," Warbelow said.

During Monday's committee hearing, some lawmakers raised concerns about the bill being inconsistent with federal and state RFRA laws when it comes to protecting civil rights. Some proposed a simple solution: adding a non-discrimination disclaimer to the legislation.

"It's not a philosophical debate with me at this point. I think we're going well beyond the other states," said state Rep. Camille Bennett (D), who ultimately voted against the bill.

But the bill's author, state Rep. Bob Ballinger (R), said its language was staying put, and that it would be too confusing to try to define what constitutes discrimination.

"If that means that you can force somebody who has deeply held religious beliefs to engage in some activity that violates their deeply held religious beliefs, and that the state has the right to force them into doing it, I can't say that I do agree with that," he said.

Arkansas is about to enter the same minefield that Indiana has been trapped in since Pence signed his religious freedom bill last week. In Indiana, major companies like Twitter and the NCAA, as well as celebrities like Apple CEO Tim Cook and Miley Cyrus, have spoken out against the law.

In Arkansas, both Walmart and Acxiom, a big data company, have spoken out against the legislation. The Democratic mayor of Little Rock also warned Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) on Tuesday that “any piece of legislation that is so divisive cannot possibly be good for the state of Arkansas and its people.”

But Hutchinson appears unfazed by these concerns. Last week, he vowed that he would sign the legislation: “Arkansas is open for business, and we recognize and respect the diversity of our culture and economy,” he said in a statement.
