Katrina 10!

The worst natural disaster in American history happened in 2005.

World News Today send our condolences to those lost in this horrific tragedy.

On August 29th, 2005, the costliest and most deadliest natural disaster hit the Gulf Coast cities of New Orleans, Slidell. Gulfport, and Biloxi.

Over 1,940 people have lost their lives to such a destructive force of nature.

The hurricane was retired as a name. The impact was felt throughout the nation and the world. It gave the public a negative perception of leadership. It sealed a legacy of failure caused by the lack of government response to handle a catastrophe.

Hurricane Katrina started August 23rd in the Atlantic. The hurricane hit the Caribbean nations first. It landed on the southern tier of Florida. As the hurricane grew in the Gulf of Mexico, the hurricane strengthen into a category 5 storm. When it crashed on Louisiana shore line, it was a disastrous category 3 storm.

The impact caused the collapse of the levee system in New Orleans. People stranded in the city were force to find food by looting businesses. The city was swamped. People were crying for help.

A handful of residents were forced to take refuge in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

It lead to 85% of New Orleans to be flooded by the waters of Lake Pontchartrain, the Mississippi River and the canals.

President George W. Bush took the most heat. His failure to handle this crisis doomed his second term. He was on his annual vacation when this happened. The perception of ignoring a crisis came full circle when he finally made it out to New Orleans. The last time he caught flack was when September 11th happened in 2001. Many people rallied behind Bush during this crisis. But this time, it wasn't the case.

Of course, FEMA was active in New Orleans. But due to the Bush pledge of limited government, the organization couldn't muster enough relief to the victims. A handful of residents of New Orleans were poor. They couldn't afford flood insurance. So when the storm washed away their homes, they were left without a chance to rebuild.

FEMA's then chief Michael Brown took the fall. When FEMA's top workers were scrambled they didn't have the experience to deal with a wide scale disaster such as this. Bush would utter "Heck of a job Brownie" response. That would be words of infamy. blamed the government and the extreme partisanship by his fellow Republicans for the disaster. The White House denied it.

Matter of fact, the impact got Kathleen Blanco to not seek reelection for the governorship.
Bush's Katrina.
Who suffered the most was C. Ray Nagin, then mayor of New Orleans. He was the most passionate of the leadership. Matter of fact, he was so passionate about the victims, he made the infamous declaration of failure on national television.

The government was unaware of the massive kickbacks and political corruption at the time. Nagin was taking steps to collect $$$$$ so his family could rebuilt and he can live the live of luxury. Nagin was indicted by the feds and found guilty in corruption. He is serving a dime in federal time out.

Bush's legacy went down in flames. It paved the way for Barack Obama to become the president.

Since Katrina, the government made it top priority to get things right.

Well ten years later, a long road ahead.

President Barack Obama, former president George W. Bush and members of Congress visit areas worst hit by the hurricane.

The historic Ninth Ward is still a long way to go. But hopefully, the government can rebuild this great city back to its glory.

Amelia Boynton Robinson Passed Away!

Amelia Boynton Robinson passed away.

With great sadness we've heard that Amelia Boynton Robinson passed away at the age of 104.

Amelia fought for Civil Rights during the turbulent times of the 1960s. She was a key figure of the Selma to Montgomery march. She and John Lewis suffered a beat down by the White bigots who tried to silence their peaceful march.

Amelia Boynton Robinson was an American activist who was a leader of the American Civil Rights Movement.

Amelia was among those beaten during the voting rights march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, in March 1965 that became known as "Bloody Sunday." State troopers teargased and clubbed the marchers as they tried to cross the bridge. A newspaper photo showing Boynton Robinson, who had been beaten unconscious, drew wide attention to the movement.

Fifty years later, Barack Obama, the first black president of the United States, pushed her across the span in a wheelchair during a commemoration.

Amelia who was hospitalized in July after having a major stroke, turned 104 on Aug. 18. Her son said she had been living in Tuskegee and was hospitalized in Montgomery. Boynton Robinson's family said in a written statement that she was surrounded by relatives and friends when she died around 2:20 a.m.
Selma this year. President Barack Obama holds hands with Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) and Amelia Boynton Robinson.
In January, Boynton Robinson attended the State of the Union address as a special guest of Democratic Alabama Rep. Terri Sewell, who said Boynton's 1964 run for Congress paved the way for her. Sewell is Alabama's first elected black congresswoman. Boynton was the first woman to run on a Democratic ticket in Alabama and the first black woman to run for Congress in the state, according to the Encyclopedia of Alabama.

"Mrs. Boynton Robinson suffered grave injustices on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma at the hands of state troopers on Bloody Sunday, yet she refused to be intimidated," Sewell said in January. "She marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, my colleague Rep. John Lewis and thousands of others from Selma to Montgomery and ultimately witnessed the day when their work led to the passage of the historic Voting Rights Act of 1965."

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Amelia Boynton Robinson. You are a hero to the movement for change. You fought for me to be here.

Emma Didlake Passed Away!

President Barack Obama thanks Emma for her service.

A month after meeting President Barack Obama, Emma Didlake, passed away. Born in Alabama, grew up in Detroit, Emma served in the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) during World War II. She served stateside for about seven months during the war, as a private and driver.

Emma Didlake died Sunday in West Bloomfield, northwest of Detroit, according to the Oakland County medical examiner's office. She was considered one of the oldest veterans at the time living.

She passed away at 110 years old. World News Today send our condolences to the family of Emma Didlake.

Didlake was a 38-year-old wife and mother of five when she signed up in 1943 for the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps. She served about seven months stateside during the war, as a private and driver.

She spent time with the president in July during a trip to Washington that was arranged by Talons Out Honor Flight, a southwest Michigan chapter of a national nonprofit that provides free, one-day trips for veterans to visit monuments and memorials in the nation's capital.

"Emma Didlake served her country with distinction and honor, a true trailblazer for generations of Americans who have sacrificed so much for their country," Obama said Monday afternoon in a statement. "I was humbled and grateful to welcome Emma to the White House last month, and Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to Emma's family, friends, and everyone she inspired over her long and quintessentially American life."

Emma was born in Alabama and moved with her family to Detroit in 1944. She was known to her family as "Big Mama" and recently moved to an assisted living family in suburban Detroit.

She was deemed the oldest U.S. veteran based on information gleaned by Honor Flight representatives through national outreach campaigns.

Granddaughter Marilyn Horne told The Associated Press last month that when Talons Out officials presented her grandmother with a short-sleeved shirt bearing the group's logo to wear on the trip to Washington, Didlake took a look and said: "'I don't have Michelle Obama arms — I'm going to need a jacket.'"

During her visit to the White House, Didlake wore a patriotic-themed neck scarf and sat in her wheelchair in the same spot in the Oval Office where foreign leaders sit when they meet with Obama.

Cop: I'll F**king ______ That ________, And Make It Look Like ________!

Alabama cop Troy Middlebrooks (right) was caught on tape telling the suspect's family member that he would fuck that Nigger up and make it look it was self defense.

The U.S. Justice Department and Alabama authorities are digging through the crates. They are trying find evidence of a frame up by an officer who is currently in the freezer.

As I told you in the previous postings, the law can lie when they do a pull over, a citation, a search of your vehicle, an arrest, or use of deadly force. The blue wall of silence is similar to no snitching.

The law will protect their own if they've done wrong and those who see criminal activity rather stay out of it. Those who refuse to snitch are often key witnesses to a criminal act. They fear that the law will not help them regardless of the crime.

It's a dice game. You're rolling a chance being either a person in law enforcement or a person of color.

This officer makes me think that his department would gleefully allow a possible criminal act to occur in his precinct.

This officer was caught on tape saying some choice words about a suspect he arrested. He was telling a family member that he would set this NIGGER up. If he could, he would kill him and tell his superiors that the suspect tried to harm him.

Troy Middlebrooks is the officer who is in question. He was pissed over the suspect escaping a harsh drop. He was at a residence when he made his tirade about the suspect. Turns out that suspect's brother-in-law is a White guy with a camera phone. Middlebrook complains about how the system is rigged, Obama this, Obama that, Black people are......you know.

Vincent Bias was arrested by this officer. He is a Black resident who was none too thrilled to hear his name being dropped in the recording.

This bombshell is covered by The Guardian.

Kindra Chapman's Death In Police Custody Sparks More Concern!

Kindra Chapman (right) was busted for taking a person's cell phone. Once she got put in the lockup she ends up dead. Now people are talking and they're starting a new hashtag #IfIDieInPoliceCustody

For theft charge 18-year old Kindra Chapman got a few nights in an Alabama lockup.

After a few hours in the lockup, she would be dead. Now the internet is lit up over her death.

What started off as a first-degree robbery charge ended like this. Sounds similar to the death of Sandra Bland who died in a Texas lockup.

Authorities put Kindra in lockup after she took a person's phone. Officers in the town of Homewood say that she was found unresponsive with a bed sheet tied around her neck.
What will the racist right paint Kindra as? I mean giving the bird isn't a crime, but to the racist right it is!
Kindra was interned into the lockup around 6:00pm and was found dead around 8:00pm.

Now the hashtag #IfIDieInPoliceCustody is picking up steam on the social media.

The Alabama state attorney hasn't commented on this situation but I will assure you that me and S. Baldwin will talk about it.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Kindra Chapman and Sandra Bland.

Future Orders Up Dirty Sprite And Pours It On His Album!

Future pour up another one. The rapper releases DS2 on Epic Records.

Future announced a surprise album. The album originally a mixtape will be released on July 17.

Coincidence?

The NASA New Horizon's space probe enters the dwarf planet Pluto's orbit. It comes timely around the time of Future's release album date.

Friday is now the official album release date for many musicians. With record sales in the toilet, many entertainers are trying to save grace. They want to help motivate buyers by moving album releases from Tuesday to Friday.

The Friday releases offer buyers an opportunity to spend their paycheck on albums that they couldn't afford on Tuesday. Drake proved to be the one hip-hop artist capable of shaking up music sales. He released his fourth album without notice on Friday in February.

Most Americans receive a paycheck on Friday.

It seems to be working a little bit. Drake's If You're Reading This It's Too Late went platinum.

Could the same work for Lil' Wayne and Future?

Many albums are now based on digital sales. Many entertainers are aware that in order to stay relevant, promote, promote, promote!

Nayvadius DeMon Wilburn got to feed them children. He is the father of five children. One of them children came from India J, one of my closest cousins. She had dated Future when he was an underground rapper.

He's been a big player in his rise to the A game. Future has been performing at clubs and releasing mixtapes around 2009. His style uses autotune, fast lyrics and harmony soul.

He often talks about his obsession with codeine flavored drinks along with a sack of skunk.

When he released his Dirty Sprite mixtape, it landed on Billboard with the hit single Racks (with YC). That would begin a career into the mainstream.

Then came the mixtapes True Story, Streetz Calling and Astronaut Status.

True Story featured the smash singles Magic, Tony Montana, and Ain't No Way Around It.

Streetz Calling featured the smash singles Same Damn Time, Go To The Moon and Word To My Muva.

Astronaut Status featured the hit singles Itchin', Blow, Nunbout, and Transform.

The mixtapes helped Future gain momentum. He would become a featured player.

Songs with Lil' Wayne, Rihanna, Rick Ross, Ludacris, Flo Rida, Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, and Miley Cyrus would make Future an in-demand rapper. And about that time, Future released his debut album Pluto.

His album was certified gold and it didn't stop. He created the Freebandz Gang and helped promote his crew through a couple of mixtapes and top-tier features.

Then he went forth to release the second album Honest. The album was long delayed but it came forth with the smash single Karate Chop which was altered after Lil' Wayne said an offensive statement towards Emmitt Til.

He was doing tours with Drake, Big Sean and Lil' Wayne. He would gain international acclaim. He would find another beau and this one was a high profile pop singer.

The rapper released DS2 (Double Sprite 2). The rapper album will be released on July 17,
His most high profile relationship was with Ciara Harris. The pop singer dated the rapper despite pleas from my cousin and the three other women. They warned her that he's Never Satisfied.

Ciara was knocked up last year and Future was going to put a ring on it. But after the junk food media released his personal business out there, they broke up. The junk food media had told tales of Future getting cozy with the groupies and doing the nasty backstage.

Ciara now raising his son Future Zahir. She revisit the religion and is now dating Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.

Wilson is a devout to the religion and is Honest. Ciara's promise payback. Especially when it comes to child support.

Future ain't mad. He wishes his formers well.

Future kept the fans pleased with the Future Hendrix mixtape series. He released Monster (with Metro Boomin), Beast Mode (with Zaytoven), 56 Nights (with The 808 Mafia) and told the social media folks that DS2 is coming. The mixtape Ape Shit (with Mike Will Made It) will come in late Summer.

Future's newest album will feature longtime collaborating with Drake.
In an interview with Dr. Marc Lamont Hill of Huffington Post, the rapper details his biggest accomplishments and what he's doing since his breakup with the pop singer.

Future kept it honest. He said that the music clears his mind. He loves his children. He got a strategy for the future. He ain't worried about the haters who say his music destroys hip-hop.

DS2 (Dirty Sprite 2) is the third album release from Atlanta based rapper. The album tracklisting and singles leaked over the past 24 hours and it was quickly scrubbed from Wikipedia and iTunes.

From what I've seen on the tracklisting, the album will feature the major acts Lil' Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Gucci Mane, Ty Dolla $ign, and Drake. Future had collaborated with these entertainers.

Production will likely come from Mike Will Made It, Metro Boomin', 808 Mafia, and Zaytoven.

His longtime collaborator Young Scooter will appear on the album too. Scooter is a part of the Freebandz Gang alongside his affiliations with 1017 Brick Squad and his Black Migo Gang.

Future is the big player in Atlanta.

Are you willing to buy his album?

Kid Rock: That [Confederate Flag] Is What I'm About! Tell The PC ________ To Suck _________!

Entertainer sparks controversy over his embracing of the Confederate flag.

Robert Ritchie (Kid Rock) once again brings controversy. Before he became this total asshole, he actually is a pretty nice guy. He actually came to Dayton to perform at the Nutter Center. He actually filmed his encounters with fans and random strangers.

The former rapper now rebel country rocker is a proud Republican who wears the stars and bars with pride. The Confederate flag being lowered from the South Carolina capitol was met with cheers and conservative outrage.

At the Kentucky Speedway, the flags flew.

At the Summer Country Concert in Minister, Ohio, the flags flew.

And when that flag when down from the state capitol grounds in South Carolina, you seen a bunch of protesters with the flag swinging.

The Michigan born entertainer moved to Alabama and found himself embracing Southern hospitality.
He's not going down without a fight.
Hanging around with beer guzzling Hank Williams, Jr. and high kicking Chuck Norris turned him into a wackadoodle.

The entertainer told his fans at a concert that if anyone hates the Confederate flag, they can suck.....Well you know!

Yeah, he told the protesters and the political correctness crowd to kiss his ass....

He aimed at Rev. Perm who recently complained about him waving that flag around.

Of course the network that may have inspired that White terrorist to kill nine innocent church goers in Charleston was happy to have a discussion on it.

Kid Rock has a son who is a performer as well. His own son, Robert Ritchie, Jr. is half black.
Idiotic.
The NAACP once again in hot water. The NAACP turns a blind eye to issues. This would be the latest controversy facing the oldest civil rights organization.

Kid Rock and his son were honorees at the NAACP Convention.

The NAACP recently face controversy after they got upset over Rachel Dolezal. The former president of the Western chapter was outed as a White woman. Dolezal hid her race because of her family's hatred of her dating Black men. They fired her out the cannon despite her work.

They also looked the other way during the Donald Sterling controversy. The former NBA owner told his mistress that he didn't want Black people at the Los Angeles Clippers games.

Kid Rock has the right to be "Confederate Yankee". He can take that flag and wrap it around his ass, his neck and his privates. No one is stopping him. If it can help push Rebel Soul and attract a base of white extremists, more power to him.

But as soon as another mass murder happens in America, I hope they don't find his music in their possession.

BREAKING: GAY MARRIAGE LEGAL IN THE U.S.!

Anthony Kennedy joined the liberal justices Steven Breyer, Elena Kagan, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Sonia Sotomayor in an extremely historical decision. The gay marriage bans in states like Ohio, Kentucky, Florida and Texas are gone. The United States Supreme Court ruled, gay marriage the law of the land.

A HUGE DAY IN AMERICA FOR OUR FRIENDS IN THE LGBT COMMUNITY! THE SUPREME COURT RULED THAT THE STATE BANS ON GAY MARRIAGE ARE ILLEGAL.

GAY MARRIAGE AND GAY ADOPTION ARE NOW LEGAL IN THE UNITED STATES.

HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE IN THE COUNTRY.

THE ROBERTS COURT FINALLY WENT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!

A big day in the Supreme Court. The legality of marriage is now equal for all.

In a 5-4 decision, the court ruled that all state mandated gay marriage bans are discriminatory.
Win for the LGBT community.
The decision is a historic victory for gay rights activists who have fought for years in the lower courts. Thirty-seven states and the District of Columbia already recognize marriage equality. The remaining 13 states ban these unions, even as public support has reached record levels nationwide.

The justices found that under the 14th Amendment, states must issues marriage licenses to same-sex couples and recognize same-sex unions that were legally performed in other states.

The lead plaintiff in Obergefell v. Hodges is Ohio resident Jim Obergefell, who wanted to be listed as the surviving spouse on his husband's death certificate. In 2013, Obergefell married his partner of two decades, John Arthur, who suffered from ALS. Arthur passed away in October of that year, three months after the couple filed their lawsuit.

Obergefell was joined by several dozen other gay plaintiffs from Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee who were fighting both to be able to marry and to have their marriage recognized in every state in the country.
Family matters. The Supreme Court made a historical decision on gay marriage.
The country's views of same-sex marriage have transformed since 2004, when Massachusetts became the first state to allow gay couples to wed. In 2013, the Supreme Court began chipping away at the country's legacy of discrimination against same-sex couples when it struck down part of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, which prevented same-sex couples whose marriages were recognized by their home state from receiving the hundreds of benefits available to other married couples under federal law.

President Barack Obama became the first sitting president to support marriage equality when he came out in favor of it in 2012, the same year that the Democratic Party made it part of its platform for the first time. The Republican Party and its slate of 2016 presidential aspirants, however, remain opposed to same-sex marriage. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) support a constitutional amendment protecting states that want to ban marriage equality.

Some conservatives have advocated for a civil disobedience effort against a Supreme Court decision in favor of same-sex marriage. However, officials in red states told The Huffington Post recently that they are prepared to implement the decision, going so far as to ready gender-neutral marriage licenses and set later office hours. Gerard Rickhoff, who oversees marriage licenses in Bexar County, Texas, said that if same-sex couples are discriminated against elsewhere in the state, "Just get in your car and come on down the highway. You'll be embraced here."
















President Barack Obama will be heading to Charleston soon but before he goes, he may deliver a speech on the court decision.

BREAKING: B.B. King Passes Away!


The news is confirmed that Blues legend B.B. King has passed away. He was interned into hospice a few weeks ago. He was suffering from heart failure and type II diabetes.


His family and management team have confirmed that he passed away tonight.

The remaining tours were cancelled upon hearing the Blues legend was admitted to the hospital.

No word from the White House yet, but expect it.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of B.B. King.

Brief summary from Wikipedia.

 B.B. King (born Riley B. King) was an American blues musician, singer, songwriter, and guitarist.

Rolling Stone magazine ranked him at No. 6 on its 2011 list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time (previously ranked No. 3 in the 2003 edition of the same list), and he was ranked No. 17 in Gibson's "Top 50 Guitarists of All Time".

According to Edward M. Komara, King "introduced a sophisticated style of soloing based on fluid string bending and shimmering vibrato that would influence virtually every electric blues guitarist that followed."

King was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. King was also inducted into 2014 class of the R&B Music Hall of Fame. He is considered one of the most influential blues musicians of all time, earning the nickname "The King of Blues", and one of the "Three Kings of the Blues Guitar" (along with Albert King and Freddie King).
Godfather of Soul and the King of the Blues.
King is also known for performing tirelessly throughout his musical career, appearing at 250–300 concerts per year until his seventies. In 1956 it was noted that he appeared at 342 shows. King continued to appear at 100 shows a year through the end of his career.

Over the years, King has developed one of the world's most identifiable guitar styles. He borrowed from Blind Lemon Jefferson, T-Bone Walker and others, integrating his precise and complex vocal-like string bends and his left hand vibrato, both of which have become indispensable components of rock guitarists' vocabulary. His economy and phrasing has been a model for thousands of players.

King has mixed blues, jazz, swing, mainstream pop and jump into a unique sound. In King's words,

"When I sing, I play in my mind; the minute I stop singing orally, I start to sing by playing Lucille."

Georgia Principal Fired Out The Cannon After Tossing A Racial Insult!

The principal of a school in Georgia got fired out the cannon after she was recorded making a racial insult.

Now I see "all the Black people" are leaving.

Oh, damn, I'm leaving too....!

The words of a former Georgia principal after she made an outright snark at attendees at a commencement speech. She screwed up on the scheduling and told the audience to wait until a valedictorian spoke.

People were exiting the auditorium. She went off and it was recorded on camera.

“You people are being so rude to not listen to this speech,” Nancy Gordeuk told the crowd. “It was my fault that we missed it in the program. Look who’s leaving — all the black people.”

Gordeuk apologized for her comments over the weekend, claiming the “devil was in the house.” However, on Monday, she defended them and said she wasn't racist.
Screen Shot 2015-05-14 at 9.18.56 AM
Look who's leaving, all the Black people!
“People always think the worst,” Gordeuk said. “You know, oh you say the word 'black,' you know, was I supposed to say ‘African American?’ Were they all born in Africa? No, they’re Americans. And, they live here. And, but just, I’m not a racist. People that know me, I've worked with disadvantaged kids like this that couldn't get through school, we help them get a high school diploma.”

It drove all the attendees to bounce. She told the junk food media that she screwed up and it lead to her getting her share of death threats and ridicule.

Nancy Gorduek was fired out the cannon after days of discussion. That discussion led to the board of directors at TNT Academy in Stone Mountain decided that it was way worse than expected.

View the video and judge for yourself. Was she out of line?

Hannity Disrespects CAIR Representative!

The country's worst cable news host gets combative with the lawyer of a family seeking information on woman who may have left the United States to join the Islamic State terrorist group.

Mediaite is right, this annoying conservative agitator's program is by far the worst cable news show to ever be on. To be quite frank with you, he's so annoying, you have to change the channel whenever you listen or watch him.

He and that old fart are so controversial, many national brands avoid them. When that old fart attacked Sandra Fluke on radio, he put a big dent in his well protected armor. Many activists force a boycott on him, this annoying agitator and Glenn Beck. The activists succeeded in getting many brands (i.e. Walmart, GM, McDonald's, U.S. Army, etc.). 

The activists are trying to have them pulled from Armed Forces Radio.

Since 2012, the iHeart Media Group is trying to save grace. They know that it's costing a whole lot of $$$$$ to keep these two agitators on. I mean seriously, talk radio is thriving in the Obama years, but its not making money and that's what's killing it.

Chief Roger had a damn good reason to demote this clown to the 10pm slot. His show is too bland.

There's nothing but screaming and vicious name calling on this right wing carnival. The agitator can't even go a day without name dropping President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and everyone who's pissed him off in some way.
Hoda Muthana gave up everything. She fell in love with a man who may have ties to the Islamic State.
The agitator is a walking, talking, word vomit. You have to scoop up enough of it before you lose your lunch.

On occasions, since I am so thankful I have no cable, I often get the opportunity to view this garbage on Mediaite and YouTube.

The moron was talking about the evil "radical Islam" and this American woman who left her home in Alabama to join the Islamic State.

The family of Hoda Muthana are desperately search for their daughter. They pray that she didn't fall in love with a man who may have been inspired by the extremist group.

The Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR) is a Muslim civil liberties advocacy organization that deals with civil advocacy. It is headquartered on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., with regional offices nationwide. CAIR is a civil rights group. Their job is monitor extremism from those who may get involved into terrorism. They also monitor hate crimes upon Muslims and all practicing faiths (inspired right wing extremism).

CAIR is very familiar with that guy. 

Through media relations, lobbying, and education, CAIR presents an Islamic perspective on issues of importance to the American public, and seeks to empower the American Muslim community and encourage its social and political activism. Annual banquets, through which CAIR raises the majority of its funds, are attended by American politicians, statesmen, interfaith leaders, activists and media personalities.

Critics of CAIR consider it to be pursuing an extreme Islamic agenda.

In 2007 the organization was named, along with 245 others, by U.S. Federal prosecutors in a list of unindicted co-conspirators and/or joint venturers in a Hamas funding case involving the Holy Land Foundation, which in 2009 caused the FBI to cease working with CAIR outside of criminal investigations due to its designation.
The junk food media spooks Americans into believing a handful of men are more dangerous than a natural disaster.
CAIR was never charged with any crime, and it complained that the designation had tarnished its reputation. Following a motion from CAIR and other groups, a federal appeals court sealed the list on October 20, 2010, ruling the designation violated the group's rights and was the result of "simply an untested allegation of the Government, made in anticipation of a possible evidentiary dispute that never came to pass."

CAIR has been criticized numerous times by various officials and organizations. The organization was criticized as pursuing an extremist Islamist agenda, and putting out propaganda.

It has been listed as a terrorist group by the United Arab Emirates.

Hassan Shibly, the executive director of CAIR Florida, was on that right wing carnvial to talk about his representation of the family of Alabama college student Hoda Muthana, who left the U.S. to join ISIS and did an exclusive interview with BuzzFeed. 

Shibly said the family is horrified by how she’s now surrounded by an “extremist violent gang of monsters.”

That annoying conservative agitator repeatedly pressed Shibly on why CAIR’s involved and called them a controversial group. Shibly told him to stop changing the subject, and he said, “I’ll ask any question I want, this is my show.”

But it got even more heated when that annoying conservative agitator asked Shibly if Hamas is a terrorist organization. Shibly got annoyed with the fool, and kept saying this is not what he came on to discuss.

As that annoying conservative agitator appeared to wrap up the interview, Shibly said, “Shame on you for just asking every Muslim what he thinks of terrorist organizations.”

Truly another pain inducing interview in which a real serious issue becomes a shouting match.

That annoying agitator doesn't give two fucks about that young woman. All he cares about is trying to expose "radical Islam" and attack President Barack Obama for not saying it.

So are you preparing for the cancellation?

I betcha that he'll be there until 2016. If his show contributes to a Democrat getting elected, he's going to be flying right out of the tent of Loserville studios. The cannon is ready to fire.

Will he be a part of the act?

Cops Bounce From Missouri Town After Black Mayor Took Oath!


A southeastern Missouri town becomes national news after a majority of the city quits after they elected a Black woman as their mayor.
Out you go. About 80% of the city of Parma, Missouri's police force quit. They claim it's not the new mayor but it's their safety.

Tyrus Byrd, a former city clerk, was officially sworn in as mayor on Tuesday after beating incumbent Randall Ramsey. Ramsey had served as mayor of Parma for 37 years under two terms.

They claim their resignation comes in regards to "safety" and not the fact of race.

The city manager, the attorney, water sanitation operator joined the cops in submitting their resignation. 

The racial makeup of the city was 67.46% White, 29.45% Black or African American, 0.14% Native American, 0.56% Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, 1.12% from other races, and 1.26% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.81% of the population.

According to the city mayor Tyrus Byrd, she is moving forward. After the cameras stop rolling, I bet you that she's probably pissed that this event happened.

The mayor is a Black woman.

Some say they're not worried about their safety and it wasn't necessary to have that many on staff for a city the size of Parma.

Some say they're relieved about the situation and that Parma doesn't have that many problems in town to require so many officers.

“I think it was pretty dirty the way they all quit without giving her a chance, but I don't think they hurt the town with quitting because who needs six police for 740 people?” said Martha Miller of Parma.
Tyrus Byrd got handed a controversy on her first day.
As for why the police and two city employees resigned, Mayor Tyrus Byrd is still trying to figure that out.

The resignation letter could not be found, according to Mayor Byrd.

"They say we have six cops on the payroll. How can we have six cops and we go days without cops patrolling and we have these recent break-ins?” asked one Parma resident.

"We needed somebody young and energetic to help our town and that is what we need,” said one Parma resident.

She said she is receiving outside help from other communities and folks are reaching out to help their town rebound.

Some residents agree the city needs it.

"Just ready to get the town back to the way it was, back to the flow of business,” said another Parma resident.

The mayor said her experience as city clerk years ago will help.

As for when the vacant positions will be filled, it's unclear at this time.

The Junk Food Media Panics Over Spring Break Because "The Blacks" Were There!

Panama City Beach is being attacked for allowing criminal behavior in their city.

No I don't condone rape or gun violence. I do believe the suspects are innocent until proven guilty.

Rape is rape. Anyone can be a victim of rape. There's nothing funny, entertaining, or an achievement.

A bullet has no eyes and it always hits a target. The gun always wins.

Before we rush into blaming the victim, condemning the suspects or attacking the Black community, I want to understand why the junk food media decided to single out Panama City Beach, Florida?

I mean there's hundreds of cities on the coast line and in parts of the world where you may have a victim of rape and it goes unnoticed. The only reason why the junk food media now wants to be victim's advocates is because some of the suspects are Black and the cameras were rolling.

In order to undermine, the Black Lives Matter movement, the agitators find the one of 1000 incidents of rape because the suspects were Black. I wonder would the media be covering this if the suspects were White and college students.



The three men were students at Troy University and are facing not discipline by the college, but I am guessing they'll have a criminal record and media shaming. That's not the possibility of LIFE in the iron college.

But there's a reason to why the junk food media freaked out over the gang rape at a Panama City Beach resort.

Is the mayor Panama City Beach a Democrat?

I am guessing that some would advocate for violence against the suspects or Black people.

Was the victim White?

We know the suspects were Black, but will the racist right use President Barack Obama in their word vomit?
The county lockup put the ice on Delonté Martistee, Ryan Calhoun and George Kennedy.
On a video, there was a female victim appeared to be under the influence and she was fondled and manhandled by three men.

Delonté Martistee and Ryan Calhoun of Wayne have been charged with sexual battery by multiple perpetrators.

And as descriptions of the video have revealed, bystanders did nothing to intervene or stop it.

Bay County Sheriff Frank McKeithen reacted to the video by saying, “It’s probably one of the most disgusting, sickening things I've seen on a Panama City beach. This is not the first video we've recovered, it’s not the second video, it’s not the third video (and) there’s a number of videos with things similar to this. I can only imagine how many we haven’t recovered.”
The victim and one of the suspects. The media blurred out the victim.
Authorities released some stills from the video, but they blurred faces out, like in this one, reportedly depicting the victim of the gang rape.

Since when did the media become an advocate for victim's rights?

I never hear much out of them when a woman is raped by a criminal. The media often victim shames.

As long as it drives ratings, division and assumptions, the media is there to push the bar even lower.

Yeah here's the social media's reaction to rape. Notice that these most of these people are so focused on the race of the suspects.

If they were White, I bet you they'll find the nice Facebook pictures and not their mugshots. See they quickly found the Black suspects pictures. They have pictures that makes them menacing.

If the suspects were White, I bet you that they'll claim that the victim made it up. If the victim was a Black woman, they will try to claim she is criminal or a whore. If the victim was a White woman, they will say that the woman asked for it because she dressed that way.

Grab a vomit bag, it's ugly and this is America.















This is America. You're on the ugly side of it. A criminal act becomes a political event for the White extremists and agitators of the junk food media.

High Five For The Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare)!


A moment in history could be stripped away if the Supreme Court rules against the Affordable Care Act. It celebrates five years and the Republicans are even more determined to repeal the law.

This is a big f--king deal, says Vice President Joe Biden when he was caught on the hot mic.

As the Supreme Court decides on the Affordable Care Act, the signature law of Barack Obama's presidency celebrates five years in action.

The Supreme Court could rule on the rule that deals with healthcare incentives. About 2/3 of the country haven't participated in healthcare incentives.

King v. Burwell is closed watched by observers. If the Justices side with the plaintiffs, then over 10 million people could lose their healthcare coverage. The conservative wing includes Chief Justice John Roberts, Anton Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Anthony Kennedy.

The liberal wing includes Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen Breyer, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Most of these decisions came down on 5-4 decisions with Kennedy or Roberts being the swing.

The challengers argue that the text of the ACA only allows for subsidies on state-run exchanges, and that the regulation as implemented by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), providing for subsidies on state-run exchanges as well as federal exchanges, exceeded the authority Congress granted to it. All of the "v. Burwell" cases were originally titled "v. Sebelius" until Kathleen Sebelius was replaced by Sylvia Mathews Burwell as United States Secretary of Health and Human Services. The Competitive Enterprise Institute is providing support for the challengers, including financial support for the King plaintiffs' challenge.

Timothy Jost, a health law professor at the Washington and Lee University School of Law, has written that if the challenge is successful, approximately 5 million Americans who obtained coverage through federal exchanges could lose their tax credits and, in all likelihood, their health insurance coverage. According to Jost, the individual mandate, employer mandate, and tax credits for employers to provide health-insurance coverage might also be overturned in states with federal exchanges. However, insurers would likely still be required to cover all applicants regardless of pre-existing conditions, which could destabilize the insurance market in states with federal exchanges and lead to rapid rises in premiums and the possible collapse of the insurance market in those states.

The Urban Institute estimated that a decision in favor of King would result in 8.2 million more uninsured people in 34 states.

Only 14 states have set up their own exchanges.

If the mandates and subsidies are struck down in the other 36 states, many think that the economic foundation of the ACA would be undermined, putting the entirety of the legislation at risk.

Supporters of the plaintiffs, as well as some politicians, argue that the effects of striking down the mandates and subsidies would be mitigated by government action (including the possibility of states setting up their own exchanges in response to a ruling in favor of the plaintiffs).

The highly contested law has been the Republican Party's fixation for the last six years. They've tried and failed to repeal the law. They've tried to repeal the law over 55 times.

It's funny though. For every attempt to repeal the law, Obamacare, as its called by the junk food media continues to enroll millions of Americans. They couldn't repeal in Congress, so they've taken it to court and hope the Justices could strike it down.

This obsession with repealing Obamacare is one of the themes of Stallmigo Ted Cruz (R-TX).

He is the first declared clown for the Republican nomination.

By law, you must enroll for health insurance or face a penalty on your taxes. The federal government offers reasonable health insurance through their exchanges. The Healthcare Marketplace is officially on after a year of delay. It's operational and offering the best coverage for those who can't afford the national brands.

Conservative Outrage Over NY Times Burning The Bush Out!

Former president George W. Bush was in Selma for historic event. The racist right upset that he was brush out. They're upset that Bush and President Barack Obama interacted with Rev. Perm.


They're outraged because the New York Times couldn't fit the former in.

George W. Bush, former first lady Laura and Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA, Majority Leader) were in attendance, Of course there lawmakers  and agitators were there. The most notable were Attorney General Eric Holder, Rev. Perm, Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) and Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ).

What got the folks over at FalseVolt, Breitfart, Newsclusters and The Daily Nothing pissed off was the "deliberate" brush out of Bush and McCarthy.

The Times was trying bias to the former and Majority Leader.

Now you know how conservatives look at the media. They would take a foreign source that got its source from an anonymous foreign source over American outlets.

You see how reactionary these people are.

Bush isn't the president. Barack Obama is. They're sworn enemy.

The complaint, courtesy of The Daily Nothing. The Selma March included the president, Rev. Perm, Holder but missing from the photo, though only a few people down to the right, were former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura. The Times also focused quite a bit of their story on the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, even though the local and federal investigations into that event found race had zero role in it and they refused to bring charges.

For their front page, the Times curiously chose a picture that did not show the entire front line of marchers, choosing instead to leave the Bushes on the cutting room floor.

Anyway, I am not wasting too much time covering this. These agitators can't get over the fact that President Barack Obama is in the White House. They hate the fact he's even in there.

It's about RACE not about politics.
The First Family and Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) got the front. Conservatives outraged that G.W. Bush got the back.
Republicans and their racist right allies are wasted space in America. Eventually that will be phased out.

The younger generation are tolerant of LGBT, interracial marriage, religious freedom, marijuana legalization and the safety net.

The older generation is what Republicans relish on. They want more looser gun laws, restrictive voting rights, restrictions on women's rights, restrictions on immigration and religious intolerance.

This is why the world should never take American conservatives seriously. They too damn immature.

They can't understand that the media is free. The lefties hate how Loserville operates. But no one is trying to silence them. You have the right to change the channel, avoid picking up the paper, never click on the link or visiting the blog. You have a freaking choice.

Why get upset over a decision you decided to take consideration into?

It's click bait, America.

Conservative Outrage Over Obama's Speech In Selma!



The Craigslist of conservative agitation spotlights The Weekly Standard article detailing President Barack Obama's speech in Selma, Alabama. He and the First Family are in the Alabama town showing solidarity. The 50th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday is being held and many civil rights leaders, Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) and outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder are there.

The outrage meter comes from the big bold title "We're the slaves who built (sic) White House".

You got to admit that a historical event is now turned into a partisan escapade. The racist right goes right to town to claim that the president is a racist. The president doesn't love America. Blah, blah, blah, blah!

Good thing he doesn't care what the carnival barkers think of him?

The words in Obama's commencement of that horrible day in American history has driven the racist right crazy.

As explained in the 2012 post "Cut The Bullshit: You Conservatives Need Obama To Sell Your Stupid Books", this agitator relies on racial stories. Without them, he would just be a minor player in the political field. 

Most of the news stories that are linked through this website attracts some of the most extreme members of society.

No matter how the story is found, his imprint makes a buzz worthy story. He takes pride in his work.

Despite many who feel his impact isn't going to sway any potential election, this agitator ignores his critics and keeps his fingers crossed. The agitator is hoping he'll activate his infamous siren for a juicy scandal involving the president. 

This website openly endorses stories that appeal to White supremacists, radical Christian fundamentalists, and ill-informed conservatives who all have a bone to pick against Obama. Those ill-informed conservatives are usually the birthers who refuse to believe the president's citizenship or hostile conservatives who believe Obama is a Communist.

Some conservatives think the president is an idiot. Of course, these are the people who couldn't finish a complete sentence. Conservatives can thank the Craigslist of conservative agitation when he finds pictures of President Barack Obama and use them in negative light.

Read some of the comment section online. Anything that is linked through this website usually has a word vomit that involves Obama. 

Notice that idiot can't even post a complete sentence... That's how misleading this asshole is!

Yeah, it's true. Slaves did build the White House and the U.S. Capitol. 

And voting rights is extremely important. The Republicans are trying to gut voting rights so they can build the last dynasty of White extremism. The very same extremists who flood comment sections (with hate in their hearts) in protest of civil rights, gay rights, immigrant rights and religious freedom.

About the Selma march:

Wikipedia puts it in simple words.

In the summer of 1964, a sweeping injunction issued by local Judge James Hare barred any gathering of three or more people under sponsorship of SNCC, SCLC, or DCVL, or with the involvement of 41 named civil rights leaders. This injunction temporarily halted civil rights activity until Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. defied it by speaking at Brown Chapel on January 2, 1965. He had been invited by local leaders.

Beginning in January 1965, SCLC and SNCC initiated a revived Voting Rights Campaign designed to focus national attention on the systematic denial of black voting rights in Alabama, and particularly Selma. Blacks had followed a campaign to register, thwarted by subjective tests administered by white registrars. More than 3,000 African Americans had been arrested, there was police violence against them, and economic retaliation. Jimmie Lee Jackson was killed in a cafe in nearby Marion after state police broke up a peaceful protest in the town. He was unarmed.

Activists planned a larger, more public march, from Selma to the state capital of Montgomery, to publicize their cause. It was initiated and organized by SCLC's Director of Direct Action, James Bevel. This march represented one of the political and emotional peaks of the modern civil rights movement. On March 7, 1965, approximately 600 civil rights marchers departed Selma on U.S. Highway 80, heading east to the capital. After they passed over the crest of the Edmund Pettus Bridge and left the boundaries of the city six blocks away, they were confronted by state troopers and county sheriff's deputies, who attacked them using tear gas and billy clubs, and drove them back to Selma. Because of the brutal attacks, this became known as "Bloody Sunday." It was covered by national press and television news, reaching many American and international homes.

Two days after the first march, on March 9, 1965, Martin Luther King, Jr. led a symbolic march to the bridge. By then local activists and residents had been joined by hundreds of protesters from across the country, including numerous clergy and nuns. Whites made up one-third of the marchers. That day King pulled the marchers back from confrontation with troops. But, that night white minister James Reeb from Boston was attacked and killed by white attackers in Selma.

King and other civil rights leaders filed to get court protection for a third, larger-scale march from Selma to Montgomery, the state capital. Frank Minis Johnson, Jr., the Federal District Court Judge for the area, decided in favor of the demonstrators, saying:

The law is clear that the right to petition one's government for the redress of grievances may be exercised in large groups...and these rights may be exercised by marching, even along public highways.

—Frank Johnson

On March 21, 1965, a Sunday, approximately 3,200 marchers departed for Montgomery. Marching in the front row, with King, were Rev. Ralph Abernathy and Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel. They walked 12 miles per day, and slept in nearby fields. The federal government provided protection by military troops. Thousands of people joined them along the way. By the time the marchers reached the capitol four days later on March 25, their strength had swelled to around 25,000 people. Their moral campaign had attracted thousands more people from across the country.

The events at Selma helped increase public support for the cause; later that year the U.S. Congress passed the Voting Rights Act of 1965, an effort whose bill was introduced, supported and signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson. It provided for federal oversight and enforcement of voting rights for all citizens in state or jurisdictions where patterns of under-representation showed discrimination against certain populations, historically ethnic minorities.

Facebook Threats Lead To Shooting!



I've taken a break from Facebook. I am not ashamed or worried about people "dropping me".

The past month has been miserable. I've been coping with a lot of things. Some are self-inflicted and others are just consequences of my naive trust for users and abusers.

I am tired of looking at Facebook. All that crap from my "friends" and family, has gotten out of hand. I am tired of looking at their walls or updates.

I've told the good readers of Journal de la Reyna in 2013, that Facebook is destined for a downfall.

It's a matter of time before you will log out and find the next social media sensation.

I mean c'mon. Seriously, how many friends do you really know online?

I know "thousands" of people. But I am close to only one person. ME!

I am reclusive and often times a social outcast. I don't hide my feelings towards certain people and feel that being the dreaded "nice guy" spurns me with nothing but failure and resent towards others.

I've been hurt too many times by people and some of the women I've dated. I've kicked my best friends to the curb. They were useless.

I will continue to associate with people but at a close distance.

Yeah, the social media is getting boring. I spend way too much time online. I got to find ways to break myself of the social media obsession. The social media includes the video streaming, the online dating and blogs.

I am a part of the social media. Me and S. Baldwin have done it for years. I don't think I'll stop blogging online. But maybe I will keep my social media intake to a low.

Stay focus to Journal de la Reyna and help push us into the mainstream.

So I'll post occasionally on Facebook. I will "like" some of my friends postings.

I will tweet some things online. I mean Twitter isn't one of the most frequent places I go to.

I will share a photo or two on Instagram. But I am going to stop following Snoop Dogg. He's posting so much stuff, it's kind of annoying at times. And I am a big fan of the hip-hop icon....

I will cautiously respond to some request on POF, OKCupid, Badoo, and Tinder. Not every woman is truthful on their profiles. About a majority of these profiles are fake. The online dating websites are trying their best to make money off the lonely and desperate. They'll bait you and rope you into a monthly subscription and you'll still be single looking for love.

"I am not a second choice..." to quote my lovely friend name Jordan.

Now back to the subject matter here. Facebook becomes the center of controversy. A group of teens were threatening each other online and wanted to make this brawl into a viral sensation. It didn't go out like they've planned.
Kierra'onna Rice. The price of fame kills this teen.
The victims brought their fists. The suspect brought a gun. And some paid the price for fame.

In Birmingham, Kierra'onna Rice paid the price. The Alabama teen was accompanied with a bunch of ignorant teens. They were witnessing the fight in a park. They wanted to film it but it quickly turned awry when

This feud started with a fight three weeks ago that ended with Rice and several other girls agreeing to meet in a local park for a physical fight. They tipped off others through Facebook to meet up and wanted to settle business.

"Fights on the street are not fair and are extremely unpredictable," he said. "You're agreeing to accepting the harm that may take place to you and others."

Two male suspects began shooting soon after the girls arrived at the park.

"They took it upon themselves to fire recklessly into a crowd," he said.

According to Edwards, there is nothing so far to indicate that the shooting was planned.

Two suspects ages 17 and 19 have been arrested and were identified by witnesses as the shooters. Police will release their names once formal charges have been filed.

Rice is the second 14-year-old homicide victim in Birmingham in the last few weeks.

Edwards said that police are seeing a connection between teenagers and guns, causing "big concerns" among officers.

"We're starting to see a lot of teens armed and extremely dangerous," he said. "We are starting to see them become more violent. They're using guns to solve their issues.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Kierra'onna Rice.

Kid Rock: _______ Beyonce And Obama!

Rocker Kid Rock kicks off a feud with Queen Bey.

Back in the hey days, Kid Rock was once a rapper. Now he's converted to a rebel rocker who talks shit like Hank Williams, Jr. and Ted Nugent. As he preparing for his album First Kiss, he manages to express himself without being arrested for lewd conduct.

Kid Rock  is a proud Republican and hides no feelings towards President Barack Obama and Queen Bey.

S. Baldwin had posted yesterday about the rocker making controversial statements about the president and Beyonce. He was in the RollingStone Magazine ranting off about how Beyonce's album sales fucked his album releases.

The rocker allowed Mitt Romney's presidential campaign to officially make use of his music in campaign events, using his song "Born Free".

Kid Rock later endorsed Mitt Romney's candidacy and performed on Romney's behalf at campaign events. By May 2012, Kid Rock was still the first of a handful of high-profile musicians to endorse Mitt Romney, including Ted Nugent and Lee Greenwood. Kid Rock performed alongside Lynyrd Skynyrd and Trace Adkins at the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida. He introduced Romney's running mate, Paul Ryan, at a rally in Michigan in October 2012; Ryan went onstage to "Bawitdaba".
Rebel Rocker pissed off Bey's fans.

A former fixture of Detroit, the rocker now flexes his conservative roots in Red State America.

In the latest issue of Rolling Stone, the singer detailed why he's "flabbergasted" by the intense Beyoncé fandom. "Beyoncé, to me, doesn't have a fucking 'Purple Rain,' but she's the biggest thing on Earth," he said. "How can you be that big without at least one 'Sweet Home Alabama' or 'Old Time Rock & Roll'?"

His criticism quickly turned to not understanding the physical attraction to the singer. "People are like, 'Beyoncé's hot. Got a nice fucking ass.' I'm like 'Cool, I like skinny white chicks with big tits.' Doesn't really fucking do much for me."

Fans of the "Drunk in Love" singer, known as the 'Beyhive,' have taken to social media to vent their frustrations with Rock and anger towards his criticisms. All of his recent Instagram pictures have been flooded with thousands of comments from super-fans with icons and usernames referencing Beyoncé.
Brush it off. 
While some of the comments are just a marker of presence — users simply posting the bee emoji or "#Beyhive" — others have turned personal and violent. "I HOPE KID ROCK MOM GETS GANG RAPED AND CATCHES AIDS AND DIES," reads one such note on a picture of Rock at the Today show.

"You ain't shit even to this day," says another. "Who are you? And why are you 70 [and] still being called a kid?"

Rock recently released his 10th studio album, First Kiss. As noted in the profile, Rock received a controversial NAACP award in 2011. The Detroit chapter honored him with the Great Expectations award while many members protested the singer for his heavy use of Confederate flag imagery.

It's a goddamn shame that even the NAACP gives this guy an award. Kind of like Donald Sterling but without the basketball team.
