Federal Time Out For Ex-Hip-Hop Mayor!

Federal time out for Kwame Kilpatrick.

I guess he'll have to listen to the rap from fellow inmates in the federal time out.

Kwame Kilpatrick was found guilty of corruption in a federal probe. Kilpatrick, was once the mayor of dying city Detroit. Under his leadership, he let his "friends" hang out at city hall. He got in touch with some of them local honeys and hired one of them to be his personal assistant. That personal assistant would later have an affair with the married mayor. He was on the city owned phones sexting his assistant Christine Beatty how big his "man" was. When the Michigan State Police and then governor Jennifer Granholm were ordering an audit and explanation to money being squandered by Kilpatrick, he would lie about it. 

But that didn't stop the mayor from showing his game. He was spending the dollars at the expense of the city.

 He was at the Manoogian Mansion with a his former college buddies, some cops and a whole lot of strippers. 

His wife, Carlita would find a stripper on the lap of Kilpatrick and she would go "angry bitch" on that stripper. That stripper, Tamara Greene would later end up dead. Her death sparked conspiracies that Kilpatrick ordered a "hit" on the woman.

Kilpatrick's mayorship was plagued by numerous scandals and rampant accusations of corruption, with the mayor eventually resigning after being convicted on felony counts, including perjury and obstruction of justice. Kilpatrick was sentenced to four months in jail after pleading guilty, but with good time awarded to county jail inmates in Michigan, he was released on probation after serving 99 days. 

On May 25, 2010, he was sentenced to 18 months to 5 years in prison for violating his probation, and served time at the Oaks Correctional Facility in northwest Michigan.

On March 11, 2013, Kilpatrick was convicted on 24 additional federal felony counts, including mail fraud, wire fraud, and racketeering. The conviction stemmed from a 38-charge felony indictment, in what a federal prosecutor called a "pattern of extortion, bribery and fraud" by some of Detroit's most prominent officials.

On October 10, 2013, Kilpatrick was sentenced to 28 years in prison.

Of course, we're dealing with the city of Detroit. Obviously the racial extremists will have some thoughts on the situation with Kilpatrick. They'll figure that he's one of "Obama's sons". 

They first pick the choice word vomit, topics such as "THE BLACKS", "MONKEYS", "UNIONS", "ENTITLEMENTS", "REVERSE RACISM", "DEMOCRATS", "CORRUPT", "OBAMA", "OBAMA'S SON", "NIGGER", "BAILOUT", "CHIMPS", "ZOO", "GORILLAS", "TRAYVON MARTIN", "DETOILET" and "GRODDTROIT".

These individuals vomits it on the comment page of most of your choice blogs.

Black conservative agitators such as Jesse Lee Peterson, Herman Cain, Erik Rush, Deneen Borelli and Alveda King speak ilk about Black unemployment being high under President Barack Obama and Democrats. They bemoan about unwed parents, abortion and gun violence. And yet, not one Republican president since Richard Nixon done anything about it too. It's easy for them to blame President Barack Obama than the predecessors of past presidencies because he's Black and the majority of his supporters are African American.

Detroit has been the talk on White supremacist blogs such as those I will not mention by name or website.

One made a website devoted to trashing the whole city and Black community as a whole.

These individuals speak ill of a city they've never been too but sure quick to attack on.

But for all their attacks, comes reality.

Detroit, Memphis, Baltimore, New Orleans, and Birmingham are the largest cities with 70% of the city's population being African American.

Despite conservative outcry over Blacks overwhelmingly voting for the president over perennial loser Mitt Romney, the tide is apparently shifting towards a demographics gap between the Democrats and Republicans.

Republicans are out of style in the minds of most Blacks, Asians and Hispanics. Women are swinging in the direction soon. And this government shutdown may have repercussions with the American people. 

Guess who'll take the blame?

Whenever a person (mainly Black) from Detroit gets into the news, conservatives scream bloody murder and chants of the word salad. Once it hits the conservative websites, they'll go bananas.

DHS Worker Turns Out To Be A Black Extremist!

The Black Extremist worked for the Department of Homeland Security for four years.

How's that government job working out for you?

Department Of Homeland Security warned about homegrown extremism. Who would've thought it was in their own ranks?

A Black extremist was canned with no prejudice. He was propping up his side work, an extremist website targeting Whites, gays and Blacks who associate with Whites.

The Associated Press reports that The Homeland Security Department says the employee ran a racist website predicting and advocating a race war was put on paid administrative leave.

An acquisitions officer for Immigration and Customs Enforcement who deals with small businesses, Ayo Kimathi, operates the website War on the Horizon. It includes descriptions of an "unavoidable, inevitable clash with the white race." Kimathi is black.

Kimathi has been with the department since 2009. He was told Friday that he is being put on paid administrative leave.

His website criticizes whites, gays, those of mixed race, and blacks who integrate with whites. The Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate groups, earlier this week reported on Kimathi's role in running the site.

Kimathi hasn't responded to email and phone calls requesting for comment.

Will they tie this individual to President Barack Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, Trayvon Martin or some imaginary Black person?

I happen to take a look at the page and found it to be quite disturbing.

In his mission statement it reads:

War on the Horizon (WOH) is a Haitianist organization created for the purpose of preparing Black people worldwide for an unavoidable, inevitable clash with the white race.  whites around the world are absolutely determined to exterminate Afrikan people in all corners of the Earth.

As a result of this reality, WOH has dedicated our time and expertise to properly educating Black people to prepare for Racial Warfare.  This includes intellectual, spiritual, psychological, and physical preparation for a global clash that will mean the end of white rule on this planet or the end of the Black Race as we know it.

Please review the information on our site to understand the threat our people are facing so that you may make the right decisions in preparation for this reality.

We'll See You on the Battlefield!



Hey conservatives:  He's not a fan of President Barack Obama. 

In his writings he's criticizing the president on his stance on gay marriage. The president endorsed it in 2012.

But long before he took the office, this extremist had wrote:

However, with this new political administration operating under the guise of “change,” our people are in for a world of pain.  This magic mulatto, who popped out of nowhere and became the president of the usa, has Black people in amerikkka, Afrika, and the entire world ready to bend over and accept anything that’s put before us including “homosexuality.”  It was made clear with Proposition 8 in California that Black people are the last hold out against accepting this filthy byproduct of white supremacy – “homosexuality.”  70% of the Black people who voted in California, voted against “gay marriage.”  Why?  It is not because of our religion, our political affiliation, nor our education.  We voted against gay marriage because “homosexuality” is wrong!  And why should we support the marriage of gays when we don’t support the notion that there should be gays at all?  Our question is “What’s wrong with a Black man with a Black woman?”  It works just fine for those of us who are still sane.

So where does Barack Obama come in?  The following clip will be disturbing for all of our brothers and sisters out there who believe Barack Obama loves Black people.  He actually brags to a room full of “homosexuals” about ridiculing the Black Church for not accepting “homosexuality.” He clearly loves someone, but it is not us.  It appears that if you don’t throw grenades at Palestinian babies or bend over backwards for other men, you don’t receive any attention from Obama’s white house.  Watch the entire clip below to get a good understanding of where Mr. Obama stands on his commitment to the “gay” community and the Black community.

He almost sounds like a conservative the way he's writing and ranting. He's just another list of extremist who want to destroy the Black community with hate.

He doesn't help us Brothers and Sisters of the Afrikan heritage. He's quite the opposite.

He doesn't want Brothers engaging in with White women. For one thing, I love all women not just Black. I love women who are White, Latina, Asian or Native American. I don't care what their skin color is, as long as they love me, I'm cool with it.

He doesn't want our Sisters to be involved in relationships with men who aren't Black. So you figure that a Black woman marrying a White man is a "sell out" because she perceives that a Black man could be a dead beat father or abusive lover? So it's perfectly clear that in his mind the Black women are a dying species.

He doesn't think our Brothers and Sisters are entitled to love someone who's of the same sex. So it's against the principles that two men or two women love each other? It's none of our business whether they love each other. They're not hurting me or this bigot.

He can't get through his narrow minded head that the world is changing and he and the White racists that hate him are dying off.

This Ayo Kimathi isn't my Brother or Kin. He's just a bigot only with Black skin.

This video contains disturbing language, take discretion in viewing this.

Philly Crane Worker May Get Life In The Iron College!

A crane operator who was responsible for a tragedy in Philadelphia is held in jail for involuntary manslaughter.
A week ago, the junk food media was worrying their asses off about the Washington, DC scandals that plague President Barack Obama.

While all this crap was going on, there was an incident that happened in Philadelphia. There was a horrible building collapse in the city. A demolition crew reckless allowed a portion of a building to fall upon a neighboring Salvation Army building killing five people and injuring dozens.

I didn't have time to fill this in. But today, I will since there was a break in the case.

The operator of the crane was high on the weed when he controlled the crane. The contractor and demolition company was cited for failures in judgement before and yet they still operate.

Well that's until this tragedy happened.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences and prayers to those lost in this senseless tragedy.

CNN reports that the man was denied bail for this. If found guilty, this guy will spend the rest of his life in the iron college. That's prison y'all.

The 42-year-old crane operator wanted on involuntary manslaughter and other charges tied to a deadly Philadelphia building collapse turned himself in Saturday, a police spokesman said.

Sean Benschop will be charged with six counts of involuntary manslaughter, 13 counts of recklessly endangering another person and one count of "risking a catastrophe," officials said.

Wednesday's building collapse in downtown Philadelphia left six dead and 13 people injured.

Blaming the suspect's "reckless and irresponsible behavior" for the casualties, Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter said Saturday that he hopes Benschop faces "the harshest level of charges ... and he is punished accordingly."
Walk of shame for Sean Benschop. Besides the death threats he and his family may get, the prosecutors may give this guy life in the iron college for his reckless endangerment.
"Justice will only be served if Sean Benschop receives a sentence that buries him in a jailhouse forever, just like his victims were buried on Wednesday," the mayor said.

Daine Grey, Benschop's attorney, told reporters Saturday that while his client feels "extremely sympathetic and remorseful," he's not guilty of any crime.

"This was an accident, but Mr. Benschop was not responsible," Grey said, in remarks captured by CNN affiliate WPVI. "And we believe that, in time, the facts will show that he is not responsible."'

A judge signed an arrest warrant -- which had been approved by Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams -- on Friday night or Saturday morning, police said.

Benschop should make his first court appearance via closed circuit TV within 12 to 24 hours of his arrest, according to Philadelphia police spokesman Lt. John Stanford. At that point, a judge will determine what the bail amount will be in his case.
The Salvation Army was leveled after a crane worker let a building scaffolding fell on it. 
"The district attorney hopes the arrest of the defendant will be of some comfort to all of the victims and their families affected by this heartbreaking tragedy," district attorney's office spokeswoman Tasha Jamerson said.

Benschop allegedly was working a crane to tear down a vacant building in downtown Philadelphia when a four-story wall collapsed onto a Salvation Army thrift store, causing an ominous rumble followed by panic on the streets.

Afterward, searchers climbed over shards of wood, concrete and rebar looking for survivors, such as 61-year-old woman pulled alive from the rubble early Thursday.

The first lawsuit was filed that same day, by attorneys for a 54-year-old woman pulled from the rubble by a firefighter.

Benschop, the crane operator, had marijuana and pain medication in his blood after the collapse, a law enforcement source told CNN.

Pennsylvania court records indicate Benschop, who also went by the alias Kary Roberts, has been arrested multiple times in the past two decades. Many of the related charges -- related to alleged firearms violations and theft -- were withdrawn, dismissed or resulted in not guilty verdicts, though he was found guilty in the mid-1990s on drug charges.

A day after publicly apologizing "to the victims and their families" and promising to do everything possible "to find out what went wrong," Nutter pressed Saturday to get answers from two property owners who hired Benschop to operate heavy machinery.

"These three individuals bear the ultimate and sole responsibility for this tragedy," the mayor said.

Rick Ross: Rozay Looking Behind His Shoulder!

Rozay's beefs are deeper than rap!
William Roberts II is commonly known as Rick Ross. The Miami based rapper took on the name of real-life cocaine dealer Freeway Rick Ross.

Overall, many look at Rick Ross as the hottest in game. His label Maybach Music Group signed on Washington, DC rapper/singer Wale, Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill, Cleveland rapper Stalley, and R&B singer Omarion to his growing roster.

As one of the most successful talents on the Def Jam label, Ross (aka Rozay/Maybach Untouchable) has been criticized as a "phony gangsta" by the likes of 50 Cent, Young Jeezy and even the original Rick Ross.

Many of Ross' critics think of him as such after The Smoking Gun reported the rapper having a small stint as a correctional officer in a Florida prison. The rapper denied it at first, but when photos of him in uniform came forth, the rapper admitted it.
Gangster Disciples showing respect!
In 2009, Rick Ross was engaged in a high profile feud with 50 Cent over a music award snub. At the BET Awards, 50 Cent supposedly looked at Ross the wrong way at the BET Awards. 50 Cent told news sources that he did not remember seeing Ross there. In late January, "Mafia Music", by Ross, leaked onto the Internet. There were several lines that seemed to diss 50 Cent. Days later, 50 Cent released "Officer Ricky (Go Head, Try Me)" in response to Ross's disparaging remarks on his "Mafia Music" song.

Since then, the two have engaged in near brutal fights. Rick Ross protege Gunplay got into it with 50 Cent's G-Unit camp at the BET Awards this year. And this year's BET Awards, brought to life another feud. Ross engaged in a heated fight with labelmate Young Jeezy over an apparent conflict between members of their entourage.

Ross, Lil' Wayne, Drake and newcomer Future are the most sought after rappers as of right now!

They've laced tracks for many and are growing in popularity.

Rick Ross appears under Def Jam Records. His affiliated labels include his own label Maybach Music Group, Slip-N-Slide Records, and Ciroc Managment Group.
Gangster Disciples want Rick Ross to "owe" up fees for usage of their likeness.
The Chicago based Gangster Disciples are looking to put a serious dent on Rick Ross' popularity. The rapper had to cancel some appearance after threats came to light.
Gangster Disciples founder Larry Hoover.
The Smoking Gun reports that in YouTube videos, gang members warn Ross, 36, that he will end up in a hearse unless he pays tribute for using Larry Hoover’s name in “B.M.F. (Blowing Money Fast).” Hoover, serving life in federal prison, co-founded the Gangster Disciples in Chicago in the late-1960s.

The gang, which has grown to include chapters nationwide, has also accused Ross of coopting its Star of David logo on the cover of his new mixtape “The Black Bar Mitzvah.”

Another gang leader, Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory of the Black Mafia Family, is also mentioned in the song, which shares an acronym--“BMF”--with the Ross song itself. Like Hoover, Flenory is a federal inmate (though he has a release date in 2032).

Ross, of course, has a working familiarity with the penal system, having served previously as a corrections officer in Florida. The rapper (real name: William Leonard Roberts) initially denied working as a screw, but eventually fessed up when TSG published documents from his Department of Corrections personnel file.

Those records showed that Ross swore a loyalty oath upon getting hired and agreed to “shoot an inmate attempting to escape.” His perfect attendance record earned him a nifty “Certificate of Appreciation” from corrections officials. In his 1997 resignation letter (submitted 18 months after his hiring), Ross thanked his superiors for “your interest in my career and for the experience I've gained through my employment.”

Larry Hoover was arrested for conspiracy and engaging in a criminal enterprise. Hoover was sentenced to six life terms and is currently incarcerated in the United States Federal Prison Florence (USP Florence Admax). The prison is known for holding most of the dangerous individuals in the world.

Street Vendor Arrested In Subway Murder!


Naeem Davis was arrested in the murder of Ki Suk Han.
A fresh shaven street vendor is charged with the murder of a Korean national in the New York City Public subway. Naeem Davis is a 30 year old street vendor who is apparently homeless.

NYPD sought after Davis when he was spotted by security cameras engaging in an argument with the victim. The suspect had longer hair and he was trying to change his appearance.

Undercover detectives spotted him after other vendors spotted him nearby. He was arrested. Davis finally shown compassion and confessed to the tragic incident.

Of course since the conservative New York Post has the details of the story among the famous photo of 58 year old Ki Suk Han being hit by a subway train, you're expecting a word salad of racial slurs hurled at the victim (because he's Korean) and the suspect (because he's Black). Of course, someone will make it an issue about President Barack Obama. They'll claim this suspect is one of Obama's sons (in regards to the comments about Trayvon Martin).
http://i.huffpost.com/gen/888685/thumbs/o-KI-SUCK-HAN-570.jpg?4
Naeem Davis with more hair on his face and head.

White conservatives throw around their macho by saying things like "if I had a gun" to "one useless [racial slur]" whenever the suspect was Black. They can't help themselves. White conservatives hate Black people so much they'll find outrage on conservative or racist forums.

This story went viral for three reasons:

The victim is of Asian decent and the suspect is Black. This agitates the conservative media into believing that Blacks are violent "thugs" and harbor more "racism" than White people.

The New York Post owned by Rupert Murdoch's NewsCorporation claims credit for the sensational picture that lit up the international media. It also lit up harsh criticism. The photographer was scrutinized for not helping the victim off the tracks. The photographer wanted a "money making" picture and that picture that is shown below is an example of why it's clear that Rupert Murdoch's companies are the reasons for a truly "fucked" up society. NewsCorporation is also the parent of Fox News, a controversial news network founded by former Republican strategist Roger Ailes.

The dog eat bone theory. You post a story that involves graphic details or in this case show a photo that shocks you! Expect it to go viral. Anytime a story such as this one gets attention, many want to know who the victim was and who the suspect is. It's natural reaction to tragedies.

Many here viewed yesterday's article. It appeared courtesy of the Huffington Post, a liberal leaning news agitator.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to Ki Suk Han.

The story was picked up yesterday by many and of course we were shocked about this controversy.

The international media saw the picture of a man facing his death. The New York Post also faced harsh criticism for this photo because many thought the photographer was callous in taking this picture.

The controversy has the nation talking. I mean why didn't the photographer drop the camera and helped the victim? That's the most important issue!

I mean this freaking photo!

The Huffington Post reports that the NYPD arrested Davis who is suspected of pushing 58-year-old Ki-Suk Han onto the subway tracks at 49th Street, officials said Tuesday. 
Ki Suk Han
The New York Post reports a transit officer spotted the suspect near the 49th Street Station, on 50th Street near Seventh Avenue.

NYPD spokesman Paul Browne says cops tracked down the suspect using surveillance images from cameras posted in the subway station and the surrounding area.

Browne added that police were able to track him down after they "found people who knew him."

Around 12:30 PM on Monday, witnesses say they saw Han exchange heated words with Davis on the subway platform, before the man pushed Han onto the tracks.

A source says Han was on the tracks for more than a minute, possibly even 90 seconds, before getting hit by the oncoming Q train.

41-year-old Anthony White recognized the suspect and said he could often be seen panhandling for money near Times Square.

"He is nuts," White said. "He would talk to himself. I’ll put it this way, as long as he didn’t bother me, I didn’t bother him. They should catch him and put him in jail for life.”


Long Island Couple Assaulted By Pizza Guys!

You can't get a pizza without a slice of politics! The Marshalls were assaulted by two Long Island Pizza workers. One of the members uttered a racial slur and word salad of President Barack Obama according to the Marshalls.

NIGGER, this one's for Obama?

This is what two customers are saying in regards to a fight that happened at a pizzeria after they had complained about couple of slices.

This was picking up political buzz. The very fact that two customers (both Black) were assaulted by the servers (both White) and afflicted with racial slurs.

The post election hangover should have been over with!

President Barack Obama trounced Mitt Romney. The former Republican nominee is forever branded a "perennial loser" whenever he gets a notion to run for higher office.

Reasons to why this controversy gotten buzz, thank the Black news agitators and social media!

CBS New York and WINS AM are reporting that this incident has strained into a peaceful protest and opened the potential for a lawsuit against the owner. The owner of the pizzeria denies any wrongdoing!

Pizza spot under fire for workers assaulting customers. The workers uttered racial slurs.
A bizarre altercation at a Suffolk County pizzeria has resulted in surreal allegations and a strong denial of wrongdoing.

One of the alleged victims, Willie Marshall, said it was the most shocking thing of his life.

A visit last Saturday to Paesano II Pizza in Greenlawn ended with an injury to his eye. and his wife, Alfie, with blood on her shirt and shoes, and an injury to her head too graphic to show on television.

“He stomped me in my face again, then he made a racial slur — I don’t want to say it on the air, I don’t want to do that,” Willie Marshall said.
 
The Marshalls said it all began when they complained about their two slices of pizza, which the couple said was stuck to the bag it was packed in. The Marshalls said the workers there refused to correct the problem or issue a refund and began cursing and screaming.

The Marshalls claim they turned to leave before the men at the counter, brothers Frank and Michael Meringolo, mocked them, threw a salt or pepper shaker at Mrs. Marshall, hit Mr. Marshall and used ugly language, CBS 2′s Tony Aiello reported.

The pizzeria employees were charged with misdemeanor assault.

“We don’t deserve this, and nobody else deserves this either,” Alfie Marshall said.

“The allegations as they appear to be, that one of the employees had said ‘This is for Obama.’ You tell me what that means?” said the Marshalls’ attorney, J. Stewart Moore.

“He used the ‘N’ word. He said [expletive] this is for Obama,” Willie Marshall added.

The attorney for the pizzeria’s owner said Marshall threw a jar of Parmesan cheese at his clients, not the other way around as claimed, 1010 WINS’ Gary Baumgarten reported.

The Meringolo brothers also claimed Alfie Marshall was hurt inadvertently when her husband ran and bumped her into the door and that no racial slurs were uttered.

Family members of the pizzeria were arrested for assault of customers.
“The allegation by Mr. and Mrs. Marshall that the incident on Nov. 24 was quote a racial attack or an

Obama backlash is completely untrue,” defense attorney Richard Toscani said.

The Marshalls are members of the Joshua Baptist Cathedral and Bishop Stephanie B. Riddle-Green said he was astonished an incident such as this happened on Long Island.

“I’m flabbergasted — if I could use that word. I’m flabbergasted that this is happened in 2012. Our president is President Barack Obama,” she said.

The pizzeria employees claim Willie Marshall initiated the altercation. He said he was peaceful until he saw his wife was injured.

“As I was going out the door, there were some chairs standing there, and quite naturally, when I saw the blood I got very angry and I kicked the chairs,” he said.

The Marshalls said they may file a lawsuit. Their church is planning a peaceful protest march at the pizzeria next week.

At first, the district attorney did not classify the incident as a bias crime, but later Friday afternoon, prosecutors announced they were referring the case back to the Suffolk County Police Department for further investigation.

Students Warn That Wilberforce University Is Doomed!

The nation's oldest Black university Wilberforce is facing tough times. The students are frustrated with conditions at the university and they demand things change! The warn that Wilberforce University could be doomed if things don't get back together.
The nation's oldest Black university is 20 miles from Dayton, Ohio and 50 miles from Columbus, Ohio in the remote area of Wilberforce, Ohio.

Students are protesting that Wilberforce and nearby Central State University are going to fold if the administration officials don't get their acts together. Many students are upset that college tuition is on the rise and the conditions of the campus are still poorer than most advance colleges in urban cities.

The students are threatening to leave the school and its gotten locals attention. For many years the two predominantly Black colleges were struggling in fiscal matters. Each college was at the brink of being permanently shut down. The state has helped the colleges through the fiscal emergencies but its still a long way to go.

The Dayton Daily News reports that the nation’s oldest private historically black university faced a protest by more than half its population on Wednesday as students threatened to withdraw over what they claim is mismanagement of the school.
These were happier times at Wilberforce University. Things are so bad some students threaten to leave the school.
Students at Wilberforce University met outside the administration building to deliver a message to university President Patricia Lofton Hardaway and demand change of “diminishing conditions.” The students said without action, they believe the 156-year-old university will close by 2015.

“We need some immediate change now,” said senior Brandon Harvey, president of the student government and protest organizer. “Academic life, spiritual life and social life are at an all-time low. I’m afraid when I come back three to five years from now, Wilberforce University will not be alive.”

Harvey said 337 students requested withdraw forms on Wednesday, and they will leave the school by fall 2013 if conditions do not improve. According to Wilberforce, 510 students are presently enrolled at the university. In response to the rally, university trustees met on Wednesday, but the board declined to comment until today, said university spokeswoman Marcia Copeland Hudson.

Hardaway immediately after receiving the students’ letter said she had not heard “a clear, consistent message in terms of what (the students’) issues are.” She said, however, that she and other administrators have always had an open door policy with students.

“We will continue to be open to speak with students and address their concerns,” she said. “The university continues to work in the best interest of the students. We don’t take this as a gauntlet; as a line in the sand. Students are our reason for existing and we have long been a place of access and success and we know that we will continue.”

The students’ complaints over dwindling enrollment, rising tuition and living costs, the pay of administrators versus the compensation of faculty, mold in a dorm and declining quality of student services echo some of the issues raised by faculty last year.

In September 2011, faculty and a group called Concerned Citizens of Green County filed a complaint with the Ohio Attorney General alleging the Board of Trustees and Hardaway were “violating the fiduciary duties to the university through malfeasance and gross negligence,” the Dayton Daily News reported at the time.

The complaint also charged that the university is spending down its endowment too low and was more than $24 million in debt. The university’s endowment in 2010 was nearly $11 million, according to their most recent federal filing as a nonprofit.

The attorney general’s office said they cannot comment on any possible investigation.

Hardaway, whose compensation for 2010 was reported as $143,792, in the past has confirmed to the Daily News that in order to balance the budget, Wilberforce has been forced to furlough employees, stop payments to retirement accounts and withhold paychecks.

Wilberforce is now less than half of 2005’s enrollment of 1,170, according to historical data kept by the Ohio Board of Regents. Greene County and the state recently approved up to $282,000 to demolish five buildings on campus, including the married student apartments on Wilberforce Switch Road, a single-family home on U.S. 42 and dormitories on North Bickett Road.


Harvey said Wilberforce is not preparing students to compete in a global environment. He added that the event “was a total disrespect to the student body by the president” because she did not come down from her office to address the group.

During their event, the students walked to Central State University, the public historically black college just across the street, to request transfer forms and request a meeting with President Cynthia Jackson Hammond.

“She explained to them that while she appreciated them coming over, that protocol is very important,” said CSU spokeswoman Gayle Barge. “And that they should have open dialog and should be talking to President Hardaway.”

New Orleans Braces For Hurricane Isaac!


Isaac is approaching New Orleans, seven years to the day, Hurricane Katrina leveled the city.
Isaac is a dangerous storm. The potential of the tropical storm becoming a hurricane is likely. And it's aimed directly for New Orleans. Tuesday's arrival of the storm marks the day that Hurricane Katrina destroy the South.

Over seven years ago, Hurricane Katrina pounded New Orleans, Louisiana and Biloxi, Mississippi. The hurricane killed over thousands of people. President George W. Bush felt the impact. He was roundly criticized for taking a vacation while the hurricane was approaching. The Bush administration's slow actions lead to the direct destruction of a major city.

When celebrities were fundraising for the victims of the hurricane, Kanye West made an impromptu speech declaring that George W. Bush doesn't care about Black people.

Are we seeing history repeating itself?

No.

People are preparing for this one. People are bracing for the Category 1 (even possibility of Category 2) storm. This storm could bring damage to the Gulf Coast.

In 2005, the fuel prices soared up to over $3.00 a gallon. The shut down of oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico and the potential damages of communities surrounding the Gulf Coast has driven fuel prices above the normal.

The New York Daily News reports that the GOP is panicked that Tropical Storm Isaac will morph into a hurricane and begin pounding the Gulf coast late Monday or early Tuesday. They don’t want to have to compete for news time with a dramatic hurricane.

But a bigger cause for their alarm is the very real possibility Isaac will hit New Orleans. And if it does, it may remind Americans of the last time New Orleans took the full brunt of a hurricane – and the non-response from the last Republican White House.

It was Hurricane Katrina, and the President was George W. Bush. Weeks and months went by as the residents of New Orleans suffered.

allbaugh
Then President George W. Bush and former FEMA chief Michael Brown. Then President Bush uttered the infamous words: "Brownie, you're doing a heck a of a job!"

“Heck of a job, Brownie,” said Bush to the administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Administration, Michael Brown –  who hadn’t done his job at all.


That’s because Bush not only failed New Orleans. He also told America there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq – leading us into a terrible war on the basis of a lie.

High fuel prices happen during a hurricane or disruption in oil supply.
In addition, Bush took a $5 trillion budget surplus, handed to him by the Clinton administration, and turned it into an almost $6 trillion debt. He did this by enacting a giant tax cut that went mostly to wealthy Americans, passing a Medicare drug benefit that mostly benefitted the drug companies, and then convincing Congress to bail out Wall Street – no strings attached.

The Bush administration also let Wall Street get away with the risky bets and predatory home loans, until the Street almost melted down.

 Mitt Romney and others who are gathering in Tampa want to erase the memory of George W. Bush. They want to blame President Obama for the budget deficit and the lousy economy. That’s what their infomercial is largely about.
