Homeowner Kills Pregnant Burglar!

A man puts an end to a burglar's life despite the pleas of her being a pregnant woman.

Most states allow a homeowner to use deadly force if the intruder threatens the life or property.

That's what many call the castle doctrine. Of course in the state of California, they advocate the use of deadly force whenever an intruder threatens the life of the homeowner.

An 80 year old man put an end to a woman's life after she and her boyfriend attack him in a home burglary.

The homeowner shot and killed one of them despite the woman's pleas that she was pregnant.

The woman's alleged accomplice who has been arrested on suspicion of murder, police said.

Police said they would present their case to prosecutors Friday but were still deciding whether to recommend charges against Tom Greer, who told a television station he shot the woman in the back as she fled from his house.

"She says, 'Don't shoot me, I'm pregnant — I'm going to have a baby,' and I shot her anyway," Greer told KNBC-TV outside his house.

Long Beach police Chief Jim McDonnell said at a news conference Thursday that the woman, 28-year-old Andrea Miller, did not appear to be pregnant, but a planned autopsy would determine whether she was.

However, the surviving suspect, Gus Adams, 26, has been arrested on suspicion of residential burglary and murder, McDonnell said. The murder charge is possible because he is accused of being involved in a felony that led to a death, the chief said. He was being held on bail just over $1 million, and police did not know if he had hired an attorney.

Both Miller and Adams, who had histories of similar crimes, were unarmed, McDonnell said.

Greer had been burglarized three times before and believed the same suspects were responsible.

He returned home shortly after 9 p.m. Tuesday to find the pair in his home. Both suspects attacked him, hitting him with their fists and ultimately "body slamming" him to the floor, breaking his collar bone, McDonnell said.

Miller continued to hit him, McDonnell said, while Adams moved to a safe and begin trying to pry it open.

The homeowner was able to get to another room where he grabbed a gun and returned to open fire on the suspects. They fled through the garage and into an alley, and Greer gave chase, firing at them again outside, McDonnell said.

Miller was hit, collapsed in the alley and died at the scene, McDonnell said.

"The lady didn't run as fast as the man, so I shot her in the back twice," Greer told the TV station. "She's dead ... but he got away."

McDonnell would not say whether Miller was shot in the back as Greer said. He also declined to say how many shots were fired and whether either of the suspects was hit inside the house before fleeing.

Homeowner Tom Greer was shaken by the event. He may face charges in the killing.

No phone listing was available for Greer and he could not be reached for comment by The Associated Press.

It will be up to the district attorney to decide whether to charge Greer with a crime, the chief said. Under California law, homeowners can defend themselves if they are in "imminent danger of serious bodily injury or death," he said.

Prosecutors will have to determine whether chasing after the suspects and firing on them outside the home goes beyond self-defense, McDonnell said.

Stockton Woman Dies In Bank Robbery Standoff!

Bank robbers kill a hostage in a gang style shootout with police.

A group of bank robbers kidnap three women and started violently firing upon the Stockton Police. The police opened fired and killed two robbers and one hostage. The surviving robber who barely over 18 is facing capital charges for his role. He survived using the hostage as a shield.

The situation was overshadowed by the tragic plane crash by MH 17 by militants in Ukraine.

This happened on Wednesday afternoon and I was going to post this one earlier. But this tragedy in the air had overshadowed the events.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Misty Holt-Singh. We also send our condolences to those lost in the Malaysian Airlines MH 17 plane crash in Ukraine.

Here's what happened in Stockton.

The Associated Press reports that the violence began at 2 p.m. when officers responded to a call of a robbery at a Bank of the West branch in north Stockton. Arriving officers spotted three men taking three female hostages from the bank at gunpoint. The robbers stole a bank employee's SUV and led officers on the pursuit, Stockton police Officer Joe Silva said.

Misty Holt-Singh with her husband Paul. Upon hearing his wife was killed in a police shootout, he was devastated. The mother of two was a victim of circumstance. Three bank robbers kidnapped her and two other women and held them as hostages. The police ended two of these robber's lives and Misty was killed in the crossfire.

During the chase that lasted 45 minutes along highways and city streets, two of the hostages who are bank employees were thrown from the SUV, police said. One was taken to a hospital with a gunshot wound; the other suffered a grazing bullet wound.

The pursuit continued as the suspects fired with AK-47 style rifles from the SUV. Fourteen police cars and an unknown number of homes along the robbers' path were peppered with gunshots, Police Chief Eric Jones told a news conference late Wednesday.

In the drama that unfolded Wednesday afternoon, the suspects entered the Bank of the West branch wearing hooded sweatshirts and sunglasses and with guns drawn, San Joaquin County Chief Deputy District Attorney Ronald Freitas said. They tied up a security guard, took over the bank and went to the vault to get money, he said.

"It was such a chaotic ... fluid situation, really one of the most dangerous, tense situations that a police officer could go through," Jones said.

"There was a lot on the line and the officers responded appropriately," he said.

This dickhead gangbanger Jaime Ramos used a hostage as a shield to protect himself from a hail of police gunfire.

When the SUV became disabled at a street intersection, officers exchanged gunfire with at least one of the assailants.

"The firing never stopped," Jones said, noting that the suspects had ammunition strapped to their bodies. "They were trying to kill (the officers), no doubt."

When it was all over, the third hostage was found dead in the SUV and one of the robbers was also dead. The police chief said the hostage was a bank customer, and that she appears to have been used by the suspects as a shield during the shootout.

Misty Holt-Singh planned to be gone for just a few minutes when she stepped into her local bank. Instead, she became the victim of three robbers who had gone there, too, planning to take both money and hostages.

As her 12-year-old daughter sat waiting in the car, Holt-Singh and a pair of bank employees were forced into a stolen SUV at gunpoint just as police converged on the parking lot. What followed was a chaotic, hour-long chase through this Northern California city that ended with a furious gun battle. When it was over, the 41-year-old mother of two was dead in the back of the vehicle.

Police said that a suspect, the only one of the three to survive, used her as a human shield as the bullets flew back and forth. An autopsy may determine whether the one that killed Holt-Singh was fired by officers or the robbers.

Police said the other two suspects were taken to the hospital with gunshot wounds, and one of them later died.

The surviving suspect was conscious, Jones said.

Jaime Ramos, 19, of Stockton, who wasn't injured. He will be facing bank robbery, attempted murder, and assault on an officer. The possibility of being tried for murder is possible seeing that a hostage died. These charges could carry life in the iron college if not the gas chamber.

Police said the other robbers, ages 27 and 30, were gang members, also from Stockton. Ramos was scheduled to be arraigned on Monday, and Freitas said prosecutors anticipate charging him with murder and special circumstances including kidnapping, robbery and burglary that could make him eligible for the death penalty.

Police said that they recovered at least three handguns and an assault rifle and that the gunmen had ammunition strapped to their bodies.

The police chief said 20 officers who fired their weapons were put on administrative leave pending an investigation — standard procedure after a shooting. He said he believes the officers acted appropriately.

Witnesses said the shootout that brought the episode to a close looked like a war.

There were causalities in this shootout in California.

"It sounded like five minutes of straight gunfire," witness Sam York told KCRA-TV. "It seemed like it wasn't real."

Jose Maldonado, who said he saw the robbers taking the women out of the bank, said the men had rifles that looked like AK-47s slung over their shoulders and they didn't seem to care that there were police all around.

"They were not afraid. They weren't going to take no for an answer. These poor women, they were screaming, they were so distraught, so scared," Maldonado said.

Jones said the robbers also tied up a bank security guard.

The bank said in a statement that it would not provide information about the victims.

"This is a tragic incident and we are focused on supporting our customers and employees," the statement said.

Be warned the videos you may see will contain graphic violence.

IMPEACH!

Conservatives are having a case of impeachment fever.

Conservatives and the racist right can't stand him. They really can't stand him and now they're pressuring Republicans to bring forth the word....

Nearly 16 years ago, the very same members are trying to rehash the notion. A handful of far right Republican politicos are threatening impeachment again. Pissed off over the president issuing executive orders to get things going. And he ain't even apologizing for doing that!

Republicans are whining and throwing lawsuits at him. They're throwing not only lawsuits but insults on his character and ginning up funds to beat the Democrats in the Midterms.

Congress is politically ranked among the worst. Weeper John Boehner (R-OH) and Whisperer Harry Reid (D-NV) are feckless and ineffective. Minority Leaders Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Mitt McConnell (R-KY) are fucked up too.

The Stallmigos are annoying as hell. Rand Paul (R-KY), Mike Lee (R-UT), Ted Cruz (R-TX), and Marco Rubio (R-FL) are agitators more than lawmakers. The agitators on radio are planning their coronation for defeat. They hope these losers will be the next president.

AGAIN, these four politicos have NO LEGISLATIVE ACCOMPLISHMENTS and yet they appear in the junk food media more than most politicos.

TOO MANY GOD DAMN APPEARANCES FROM JOHN MCCAIN (R-AZ), LINDSEY GRAHAM (R-SC), JOE MANCHIN (D-WV), DICK DURBIN (D-IL), REP. MIKE ROGERS (R-MI), REP. MICHELE BACHMANN (R-MN), AND REP. DARRELL ISSA (R-CA).

You hardly see senators like Cory Booker (D-NJ), Mark Kirk (R-IL),  Patty Murray (D-WA), Kay Hagan (D-NC), Mike Enzi (R-WY), Maria Cantrell (D-WA), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) in the junk food media.

Feckless Republican leaders plotted gridlock the moment Obama was sworn in.

I mean how many legislative bodies were passed by Congress and signed by the president?

How many legislative days and hours were used by the 113th Congress?

Yeah, let's play this game. C'mon draft the Articles of Impeachment toward the president. We need Republicans, conservatives and White extremists to get their wet dreams fulfilled.

It's practically a DO NOTHING CONGRESS and yet we're more focused on President Barack Obama.

What if Quinnipiac University done a poll on how Congress is ranked?

I can tell you that both political parties aren't good. They're very bad. Extremely bad.

Republicans rate worse than Democrats but yet are likely the ones to retake the Congress in the Midterms.

Douchebag senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Pat Toomey (R-PA) during a press conference in 2013. They were calling for reasonable gun control after the Sandy Hook tragedy. They own guns but wanted to limit firearms to the mentally insane. That failed.

The Republicans are practically more enthusiastic in voting than the Democrats. But that was said back in 2012 when the junk food media was saying that [perennial loser] Mitt Romney was the best candidate to take on Obama.

Republicans are very vengeful. They lost in 2008 and 2012. They're fecklessness and inefficient lawmakers who can't work.

Democrats are vengeful too. Say if we get a Republican president. You already know what's going to happen. They will go to town on the Republican president.

Also if you look at the word vomit on the comment pages, it's practically tell the world that Americans are downright mean and utterly stupid. Yeah, stupid is a nasty way of telling it, but by gosh we're so misinformed by the junk food media.

Truth isn't even considered a fact. It's just another spin cycle for the agitators.

Okay, the Washington Post has a record of how many times that word been thrown around by Republicans and their conservative allies. It's been there since 2009, right after Barack Obama was sworn in as president.

The Stallmigos: Rand Paul (R-KY), Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Mike Lee (R-UT)

They [plotted and move forth] the strategy of obstructing the president at every whim. They would later turn that obstruction to utter bitching about things not getting better. They would say "Where's the jobs?" over and over until they've won the control of the House of Representatives.

When they gotten back in power of the House, the Republicans wasted time trying to find out Benghazi, Fast & Furious, the IRS documents targeting shadowy Tea Party groups, Edward Snowden pushing out CIA/NSA leaks, the Osama bin Laden raid, the release of Beau Bergdahl and the healthcare website.

Everything and anything coming out of the Republican playbook.

Here's a nugget from the lunatic fringe.

Post by Impeach Obama.

Post by Impeach Obama.

Post by Impeach Obama.

This is why it's important to vote this coming election. I mean you have the right to be "like this individual" and those who support him. That's probably why it's important that this stuff is condemned by the rational.

I mean you don't have to be a liberal, conservative or non-partisan to see that impeachment is government overreach. Just because you have a disagreement with the president, it doesn't grounds for impeachment.

Seriously, we are truly a mean nation. There's no respect for lawmakers. I even have more disgust for Washington lawmakers nowadays. I am tired of Republicans bitching and want Obama to hit them hard.

Hit them so hard, they can feel it. I mean if he swung at Boehner and McConnell and knock their pathetic asses out, then maybe you can file an assault charge on the president and impeach him on the grounds of felonious assault. 

By the way if we impeach and remove Obama, then Vice President Joe Biden will become the 45th President of the United States. And rest assured, he'll complete a second term.

CHiPs Caught On Tape Beating Up Woman!

This event makes Friday news tonight. A California Highway Patrol officer is under fire for using excessive force against a female suspect they accused of acting crazed on a busy stretch of highway.

There was a man who filmed the event and the shocking video went viral. This event happened on Tuesday and the junk food media is now on it.

The NAACP and of course Rev. Perm are going to be ready to strike.

Knowing that California law enforcement and the Black and Latino communities aren't the best of friends, the possibility of unrest could occur.

 The video posted on YouTube shows the cop pursuing the woman on foot past an I-10 on-ramp. Those recording it can be heard laughing at first.

CHP says the officer asked the woman to stop, but she refused and continued to walk away from him.

"A physical altercation ensued as the pedestrian continued to resist arrest, at which point a plain clothes, off duty officer assisted in applying the handcuffs," the CHP said in a statement given to KABC.

The woman refused to give her name and is identified only as "Jane Doe." KABC says she was taken to a hospital for physical and mental evaluation.

You Ain't Getting No Asylum Says American Bigots!

A bunch of White bigots meets a bus full of immigrants in a California city.

The controversy down at the border between the United States and Mexico heats up when a bus full of migrants were stopped on the line by angry White people who have strong ties to the far right militia.

Again, some Americans can't fathom immigrants coming to the country illegally. They believe these people are vermin and they want them to go back to their country.

Instead of having a heart, they have a gun and whole lot of racial slurs. Murrieta, California was the hub of the outrage by residents and those associated with the far right militia.

Republican mayor Alan Long told residents to meet the buses at the suburban Immigration and Customs Exchange facility and block their route.

So a bunch of White bigots come to the area and protest and wave around their Chinese made American flags. They tell the immigrants that they have no place in the United States and they had to go.

The insurgency continues to be a problem in America. They don't understand that this country is based on immigrants and the United States was originally owned by First Nations. The White man stole the land and claimed it for their own. They drew imaginary lines to say what's the United States and what's not.

Sad and pathetic.

Americans are entitled to be hateful bigots. But just think why those overseas hate us so much. It's this nonsense that drives the extremists to attack us. The inhumane actions by those who claim their "patriotic".

A bunch of White bigots is what I think of these people.

The Associated Press reports that Homeland Security buses carrying migrant children and families were rerouted Tuesday to a facility in San Diego after protesters blocked the group from reaching a suburban processing center.

The standoff in Murrieta came after Mayor Alan Long urged residents to complain to elected officials about the plan to transfer the Central American migrants to California to ease overcrowding of facilities along the Texas-Mexico border.

Many protesters held U.S. flags, while others held signs reading "stop illegal immigration," and "illegals out!"

"We can't start taking care of others if we can't take care of our own," protester Nancy Greyson, 60, of Murrieta, told the Desert Sun newspaper.

See the pictures of American hate.

Many of the immigrants were detained while fleeing violence and extortion from gangs in Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras.

After the buses were blocked, federal authorities rerouted the vehicles to a freeway and then to a customs and border facility in San Diego within view of the Mexico border.

The three buses were trailed by a half-dozen news crews during the two-hour trip. People near the San Diego facility were surprised by the caravan.

Juan Silva, 27, a welder in Chula Vista, said he thought officials were transporting drug traffickers. Then he heard the buses were carrying migrant families.

"I don't think people in that town should be against little kids," he said about the protesters in Murrieta. "We're not talking about rapists. We're talking about human beings. How would they feel if it was their kids?"

After the migrants are processed, Immigration and Customs Enforcement will decide who can be released while awaiting deportation proceedings.

Earlier in the day, a chartered plane landed in San Diego with 136 migrants on board, according to a federal Department of Homeland Security official who was not authorized to be named when speaking on the issue.

This is the insurgency of the Republican Party.

It was the first flight planned for California under the federal government's effort to ease the crunch in the Rio Grande Valley and deal with the flood of Central American children and families fleeing to the United States.

The government is also planning to fly migrants to Texas cities and another site in California, and it has already taken some migrants to Arizona.

More than 52,000 unaccompanied children have been detained after crossing the Texas-Mexico border since October in what President Barack Obama has called a humanitarian crisis. Many of the migrants are under the impression that they will receive leniency from U.S. authorities.

Another flight was expected to take 140 migrants to a facility in El Centro, California, on Wednesday, said Lombardo Amaya, president of the El Centro chapter of the Border Patrol union. The Border Patrol would not confirm that arrival date.

GOP Dominates Sundays And Breakfast Chats!

These two run to the cameras more than the Democrats.

I will say that conservatives love to call the media "liberal". They continue to spread this narrative that the free broadcast news is partisan against their causes.

NEWSFLASH: You are a part of the media! 

Whenever I hear at talk radio host complain about how the media is "shielding" the president, then I shake my head. The beginning of a new active week starts on Sunday and the Republicans have dominated th

Republicans dominate Sunday and Breakfast Chats. That's a fact. 

How I know?

Look at the former Republican presidential nominee and current Arizona senator John McCain. So far he and his best friend Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) have appeared on most Sunday programs. Bitching and bemoaning about the president. Then there's Representative Mike Rogers (R-MI) who is retiring to become a conservative agitator. 

They along with Stallmigos Ted Cruz (R-TX), Rand Paul (R-KY) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) have gotten favorable coverage on most Sunday shows and weekday breakfast chats.

Talk radio is dominated by conservative agitators. They dominate 93% of the free airwaves with rabble rousing and utter contempt towards President Barack Obama.

Republicans make up less than a quarter of all American voters, but somehow managed to constitute a majority of guests on Sunday talk shows this year.

The GOP brand weakened during 2013, especially after most Americans blamed the party for the government shutdown in October. Only 24% of respondents to a recent Gallup survey (December 5-8) considered themselves Republicans.

And yet, GOP politicians consistently made more appearances than Democrats on programs like “Meet the Press,” “Face the Nation,” “This Week,” “State of the Union,” and “Loserville Sunday.”

Six of the top seven, and 10 of the top 13 guests on these shows were Republicans, according to the calculations of Steve Benen of MSNBC.

Representative Mike Rogers (R-Michigan), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, made 27 appearances, putting him atop the list.

No. 2 was Senator John McCain (R-Arizona), with 24 appearances. No. 3 was former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Georgia), who hasn't been in office since 1999.

Also finishing third was Democrat Dick Durbin of Illinois, the Senate’s majority whip.

Durbin was followed on the list by more Republicans: Representative Peter King of New York, Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky.

Obama: If [Weeper] Boehner Spent More Time Working Than Crying Maybe We Could Get Things Done!

If the president wanted to be really disrespectful to Boehner, he would have told the junk food media that the Weeper needs to stop spending taxpayer money on those awful tans. He's starting to look Blacker than Obama.

President Barack Obama scoffed at the notion of the most inept House Speaker's threat of a lawsuit over the executive decisions being made.

The president knocked this lawsuit as a "stunt" to impress the insurgency and their goal is to BLACK everything he does!

Oops, I meant block!

In a much televised interview with ABC News host George Stephanopoulos, the president states that Congress is a train wreck and he welcomes the Speaker and Republicans to compromise on some his policies.

President Barack Obama on Friday said he wasn't going to apologize for his use of executive power.

Boehner officially announced he would introduce legislation in the coming weeks that would authorize the House General Counsel to sue the Obama administration and "compel" the president to enforce existing law. Without citing the specific executive orders he found troubling, Boehner named health care, energy, foreign policy and education as areas where the president has "repeatedly run an end-around on the American people."

“You notice that he didn't specifically say what exactly he was objecting to,” Obama said in the interview. “I'm not going to apologize for trying to do something while they're doing nothing."

Often stymied by a recalcitrant Congress, Obama declared 2014 a "year of action" and issued executive orders on immigration, the federal minimum wage and federal pay discrimination. His Environmental Protection Agency further plans to unveil unprecedented regulations to curb greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power plants. But the moves have infuriated Republicans, who say the president is unlawfully bypassing Congress.

"We elected a president, Americans note; we didn’t elect a monarch or king," Boehner wrote in the memo.

Obama said he was forced to take action because Congress refused to do its job.

"What I've told Speaker Boehner directly is, if you're really concerned about me taking too many executive actions, why don't you try getting something done through Congress?" Obama said on ABC. "The majority of American people want to see immigration reform done. We had a bipartisan bill through the Senate. And you're going to squawk if I try to fix some parts of it administratively that are within my authority, while you are not doing anything?"

Congressman John Boehner (R-OH) is probably one of the worst leaders to hold the House of Representatives. As House Speaker, Boehner has been pretty tied up in a pretzel over how he handles business.

Washington, DC is in a gridlock. Republicans and their insurgency have been at odds with one another over how they could oppose the president.

Since he's gotten into office, the Republicans have been obstructive to his agenda.

When Boehner won another term as House Speaker, he told the Republican caucus that he is "done" with President Barack Obama. He couldn't trust him.

So now that the president and the Democrats go at it alone, these very same Republicans run to cameras on Breakfast Chats, GOP Sundays and every social network they can dig their claws in.

They hand those conservative agitators talking points and let them go to town on every proposal or even an ounce of bipartisanship from fellow Republicans. They trash the proposals or fellow Republicans for even having the decency to work with "that guy".

They don't understand that if the Democrats fall back into the minority, they'll become just as aggressive as the Republicans. Trust me: They will find ways to undermine a Republican president.

The choices of candidates are even weaker than before. They fear Hillary Clinton so much, they'll find everything to destroy her.

The State of Jefferson!

Insurgency wants to break away from liberal portions of California and Oregon.

Right wing extremism fuels this petition to split from the state of California.

California in the Electoral College carries 55 electoral votes (53 Representatives and 2 Senators) and heavily favors the Democrats in national elections. Not since George H.W. Bush, has California went to the Republicans.

Republicans and their conservative agitators have fumed up over California governor Jerry Brown and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and their influence on the state.

Some have called for a separation of California and Oregon to form the 51st state. They want to form the state of Jefferson.

Thomas Jefferson was the writer of the Declaration of Independence, a state lawmaker, the governor of Virginia, the second U.S. Vice President, the third U.S. President, a Secretary of State, an ambassador to France, a slave owner and an adultery advocate. He's still one of the greatest presidents.

Conservatives love to use the Constitution only when it applies to them only.

Conservative activist Tim Draper introduced a separate proposal called Six Californias, which if approved would divide the state into six new states, including Jefferson in the extreme north. This version of Jefferson comprises 13 California counties: Del Norte, Siskiyou, Modoc, Humboldt, Trinity, Shasta, Lassen, Tehama, Plumas, Mendocino, Glenn, Butte, and Lake; but no territory from Oregon.

Stick A Fork In Him, He's Done: Thad Cochran Says He Done Indecent Things To Animals!

Animal farm!

If all this stuff could have sink his career so long ago. Now all of sudden, here a bombshell to embattled Thad Cochran, the Mississippi senate Republican.

In the digital age, perception is key. Say if I say something that I know sounds right, but to a certain group it sounds wrong, then I would face a made up controversy. Today, I see this happening. It seems like the Chris McDaniel campaign is unleashing tape of Cochran telling a joke that may sink his career as a senator.

Knowing that he's at the verge of losing to an insurgent, he should have known that conservative agitators will do whatever it takes to destroy the establishment. Cochran is the establishment.

Cochran would reminisce about the days of being a lad. He tells the world that he once did indecent things towards animals.

Knowing that he's facing insurgent candidate Chris McDaniel in the June runoff, the Republican incumbent may have sunk chances as the potential nominee.

The racist right has already knocked off House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, the Republican from Virginia.

One more won't hurt, says the insurgents.

It's almost over!

Okay, here's where Cochran sunk his chances. He told an audience at a Hattiesburg hospital, “I grew up coming down here for Christmas,” he said. “My father’s family was here. My mother’s family was from rural Hinds County in Utica.”

“It was fun, it was an adventure to be out there in the country and to see what goes on,” he said of his boyhood visits to Hattiesburg. “Picking up pecans, from that to all kinds of indecent things with animals.”

The audience chuckled.

“And I know some of you know what that is,” Cochran said.

It maybe curtains for Cochran. So we'll hear our conservative media agitators continue to encourage registered Republicans to dump the chump. The chump could lose to the nut.

This is a civil war within the party. Even though Cantor and Cochran voted against the Affordable Healthcare Law, reasonable gun control and immigration reform, that's not enough for the rabid base.

That base wants to openly call the president a........well you know! They won't stoop themselves at least to that level unlike our insurgent candidates.

Travis Childers is a conservative Democrat. He was a two term U.S. Representative from the 1st District. He will face the Republican nominee in the U.S. Midterms.

MISSISSIPPI IS CONSIDERED SAFE REPUBLICAN. 

No matter who takes the nomination, surely a Republican will win. The only way this could change is the possibility of a war within the party.

Note: I call the Tea Party insurgents. So far they haven't mounted war against the United States in a coup d'etat against President Barack Obama yet.

The Transgender Tea Party Candidate!

Lauren Scott, the chairwoman of Equality Nevada switch parties to run for Nevada state assembly. Originally a Democrat, Scott became a Republican. This could be the first transgender lawmaker. She took a picture with Vice President Joe Biden.

Nevada Republicans could elect its first transgender candidate for the state legislature. 

The Huffington Post reports that Lauren Scott is posed to be the nominee. She is the executive director of Equality Nevada, won 58 percent of the vote Tuesday in the state Assembly's 30th District.

If Scott wins in November, she could be the nation's first openly transgender state legislator, though another transgender woman, Dana Beyer, is running in Maryland's Democratic primary for a state Senate seat and so could also win that distinction.

Winning in the legislative district, which encompasses parts of Democratic-leaning Reno, could prove to be a challenge. However, Scott thinks her background -- she used to be a Democrat, registering as a Republican in 2011 -- may help her in her bid to unseat the Democratic incumbent, State Assemblyman Michael Sprinkle.

“I have always been a moderate and I am willing to work with Democrats and Republicans to find solutions to the problems facing Nevada today,” Scott said in a statement after her victory.

Scott was as an active-duty member of the U.S. Air Force for nearly seven years.

According to her website, she claims that her party change started when she was disenchanted with both political parties and had originally registered as non-partisan. 

Scott agree with many issues the Democrats supports but the issues of taxation and business development, she supports Republicans.

On Thursday, Scott suggested that she'd have national support from the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, a group that works to elect LGBT candidates to office.

Now you understand that the Republican Party isn't that tolerant of the LGBT community. They happen to be the party that is trying to pass legislation that openly discriminates against transgender Americans.

This candidate will have to work hard to get her Republican friends to support her. 

Mark Levin: Republicans Better Stop Chasing Genitalia!

Right wing extremist whines about Republicans being a bunch of pussies.

In the wake of the devastating defeat of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia, Republicans are now scrambling to be in the position.

Republicans across the country practically wrote the insurgents off.

Alas, this gadfly of history still exist!

They're celebrating this victory of political newcomer Dave Brat as the slaughter of the establishment.

Brat ran against House Majority Leader Eric Cantor for the Republican nomination for Virginia's 7th congressional district and defeated Cantor by a 12-point margin.

Brat was outspent by Cantor 40 to 1.

Cantor spent over $5 million and Brat raised $200,000, but did not spend all of it.

Brat's win was a historic and stunning victory, as it was the first time a sitting House Majority Leader had lost a primary race since the creation of the position in the 19th century.

Brat ran well to Cantor's right. His campaign laid particular stress on opposing immigration reform, stating Rep. Cantor favored "amnesty" for illegal immigrants.

Cantor was a key figure and highly polarizing member. He basically was caught off guard by this defeat.

The Tea Party scalped Eric Cantor. Dave Brat will face Democrat in general election.

I mean Cantor had more money, more name recognition, had the establishment and the Tea Party backing him. The Cantor campaign threw the gauntlet at Brat and felt that it could have defeated him.

But his constituents in Virginia's Congressional District 7, Cantor didn't care too much. He felt comfortable in his state. But unfortunately the people felt that his quest to usurp Ohio lawmaker Weeper Boehner, was not what they wanted. They wanted a lawmaker who did things for the district.

I guess from the racist right comes Mark "Ratface" Levin. He's an extremely controversial talker on the AM dial and a good friend of That Guy Who Helped Obama Win.

Him along with Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham came out swing against the establishment. They were on Loserville doing a victory lap.

They were blasting the Republicans for not doing enough to defeat President Barack Obama and knee toeing to people they've deem insufficiently conservative. They want no association with the Club for Growth, no more Chamber of Commerce, no Karl Rove, no more Bob Dole and no more establishment backroom deals.

Blonde agitators Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham endorsed insurgent candidate.

Levin managed to attract attention on last night's right wing carnival. He said to That Guy Who Helped Obama Win in an epic rant:

We see the country slipping away, at least the kind of country that we want. Why is it so hard for these guys to articulate our principles? They talk about Reagan, but they're Rockefeller Republicans. And what's ironic about this is the main opponent to Reagan in 1980 was George H.W. Bush, and now it's Jeb Bush, his son, who seems to be the main opponent to conservatives who are trying to rally behind a candidate in order to take this country back. And when I say take the country back, I mean from a president who is an imperial president, who every day says he's going to act unilaterally and does across the board. We wake up in the morning,w e don't know the next outrageous thing he's going to do, and Congress acts like it has no power, it has power, it has the power of the purse, it's got the power to do other things, and it needs to do it. And they're afraid of Obama, they're afraid to take these steps, and you can see there is a growing anger among many American people, not just Republicans.

I'll tell you one other thing: You look at this election 2012 with Obama. Obama should have been beaten by a halfway decent presidential candidate in the Republican Party who could articulate the principles of the party and expose Obama's fecklessness and weakness. We didn't do it. Millions of people stayed home. And who were they? Reagan Democrats. Blue-collar Democrats. Stop chasing ethnic groups, stop chasing genitalia, talk to the American people about liberty, opportunity. Explain to them that Obama's wrong and we need to unleash the American people and the economy.



The racist right will waste no time trying to look at this upset as an example of government going out of control. They will find ways to unseat Mississippi senator Thad Cochran in the Republican primary runoff.

Brat will face Democratic nominee Jack Trammell, also a professor at Randolph–Macon College, in the November general elections.  Brat is heavily favored due to the 7th's significant Republican lean; it has a Cook Partisan Voting Index of R+10.

Eric Cantor Defeated In GOP Primary!

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia was defeated in Virginia primary.

House Majority Leader, Representative Eric Cantor of Virginia got the pink slip by fellow Republicans. It seems like this is the first major victory of the insurgency.

Tea Party endorsed Dave Brat put an end to the long-term legislator.

USA Today reports Brat, an economics professor at Randolph Macon College in Ashland, Va., had been making an issue of Cantor's desire to pass an immigration bill.

In a sign of Tea Party discontent in Cantor's Richmond-based district, activists booed and heckled the Virginia Republican in March.

Dave Brat will be the Republican nominee for the 7th Congressional District in Virginia.

Cantor was the U.S. Representative for Virginia's 7th congressional district, serving since 2001. A member of the Republican Party, he became House Majority Leader when the 112th Congress convened on January 3, 2011. He previously served as House Minority Whip from 2009 to 2011.

His district includes most of the northern and western sections of Richmond, along with most of Richmond's western suburbs and portions of the Shenandoah Valley. Cantor is the highest-ranking Jewish member of Congress in its history, and currently Congress' only Jewish Republican.

Dave Brat beat the majority leader on the whims of being a part of the establishment.

Did you know that love isn't always political?

Cantor met his wife, Diana Marcy Fine, on a blind date; they were married in 1989.

They have three children: Evan, Jenna, and Michael. Fine is a lifelong, liberal Democrat. Contrary to her husband's stated positions, she is pro-choice and supports same-sex marriage.

Well it seems like Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will now have to watch what they do the next go around. They managed to fight off their primary foes. But Cantor, being a highly polarizing figure in the party was shaken out of the tree.

Blame Game: Elliot Rodger's Murderous Rampage!

The nice guy is the most dangerous individual. Elliot Rodgers was rejected by society. He decides to launch an assault against everyone.

S. Baldwin broke the news of a California gunman who committed an act of terrorism at the University of California Santa Barbara.

A spree killing occurred in Isla Vista, California, starting with a stabbing attack at an apartment, followed by a series of drive-by shootings near the campus of University of California, Santa Barbara. Seven people were killed, including the attacker, and thirteen others were wounded.

The attacker was identified as 22-year-old Elliot Rodger, who was a student at Santa Barbara City College.

He was born in London, England, but moved to the United States when he was five years old. His father was filmmaker Peter Rodger, whose credits include working as an assistant director for The Hunger Games. His stepmother was actress Soumaya Akaaboune.

According to the Rodger family's attorney, Rodger saw multiple therapists and was a student at Santa Barbara City College. The lawyer also claims that Rodger was diagnosed with "highly functional Asperger syndrome" as a child and was allegedly bullied.

He had a YouTube account, a Facebook account, and a blog titled Elliot Rodger's Official Blog, all of which contained posts expressing loneliness and rejection.

A week prior to the shooting, his parents reported him to police after being concerned about his behavior and YouTube videos. During the past year, police had investigated Rodger three separate times, including one incident where he claimed he was beaten, but investigators presumed he was the aggressor.

Roger posted a video on YouTube on the day of the attack, titled Elliot Rodger's Retribution, in which he complained of being rejected by women and described details of his upcoming attack.

In the video, he laid out his motivations and plans, saying:

"Tomorrow is the day of retribution, the day in which I will have my revenge. ...You girls have never been attracted to me. I don't know why you girls aren't attracted to me, but I will punish you all for it."

Police said they were investigating the video.

In his 140-page manifesto titled "My Twisted World", he also outlined some of his plans:

"On the day before the Day of Retribution, I will start the First Phase of my vengeance: Silently killing as many people as I can around Isla Vista by luring them into my apartment through some form of trickery."

You can read this disturbing manifesto here.

  Elliot Rodger, Santa Barbara mass shooting suspect, "My Twisted World" manifesto

Three people were killed during the shootings. They were identified as Katherine Cooper, 22, and Veronika Weiss, 19, both students at the University of California, Santa Barbara, who were killed at the sorority house; and Christopher Martinez, 20, another UCSB student who was killed at the Isla Vista Deli Mart. 

Three other men were stabbed to death repeatedly at the attacker's apartment prior to the shooting spree; their identities are currently unreleased, but they were confirmed to be the attacker's roommates.

Thirteen other people were injured, eight of them from gunshot wounds and four others by blunt trauma sustained after being struck by the attacker's vehicle. The thirteenth injury was undetermined.

Be warned this is extremely disturbing. The video is considered not safe for work.

Of course, the conservatives will say that this mentally disturbed individual who managed to commit an act of terrorism among innocent victims as a card carrying member of the Democratic Party.

The racist right blogs couldn't help themselves by saying this White terrorist is a "leftist", "Democrat" or "liberal". 

Can't let the political fire die down.

It seems like I've repeated this one too many times. The usual finger pointing from the agitators of the junk food media.

The left will say: "Here we go again, another mass shooting in America and the president and Congress will not move the needle on curbing gun violence. The NRA can't do nothing right. All they want is 'more guns' and we'll pay the price with blood! You see why cutting government is a bad thing! The sequester is hurting the country and Republicans are responsible for the tragedy!"

The right will say: "See what we told you! There's a need for more firearms in the workplace. Besides, these liberals seriously think a piece of paper or a law can stop a gunman. If more people were armed this man would have seen justice. Anyways, isn't this guy an Obama voter? After all this could have been a liberal, don't you know?"

One thing is clear about this political football it's going to be an agitator who peaks into who the person votes for.

Who cares what political affiliation he had?

Who cares what he's done before the shooting?

Leave all that for federal and state law enforcement. Because for all we know is that the man went on a rampage. He stabbed people. He started shooting at people. He took his own life.

We all hear that story about the shooter was being a "nice guy" and friendly! People who are rejected by women, jobs, society itself and are often look at as doormats are likely to snap. Being the "nice guy" is going to be considered a threat upon the country. Introverts and loners (basically the bullied) are likely to be the next mass shooter. It wouldn't matter on the race, the gender, the sexuality, the political, the religious or social status.

A bullet has no name. It doesn't care where it hits. It's a piece of metal fired from the barrel. It doesn't discriminate against a liberal or a conservative. It doesn't matter whether it's a Democrat or Republican. It's going to hit something.

If it hits the flesh, then the victim is injured.

There's no coming back from the dead. You can't complain about politics when you're dead!

What's done is done! Dead is dead.

Richard Martinez, the father of victim Christopher, the young man who was gunned down, was upset and not only pointed the finger at Rodger, but the lawmakers and NRA for allowing this to happen.

The Associated Press report that Martinez talked to his son just 45 minutes before he was shot and killed inside a deli. Martinez says his son's roommate tried to revive him, but he died at the scene."

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

Blogger Busted For Break In!

YouTube blogger Clayton Kelly (aka Constitution Kelly) lockup photo.

The Tea Party blogger was trying to get dirt on establishment Mississippi Republican senator Thad Cochran.

He got his ass busted for snapping a photo of Cochran's bed ridden wife in a local nursing home.

Clayton Kelly, a Mississippi political blogger who runs Constitutional Clayton, has been arrested by police for reportedly sneaking into the nursing home where Senator Thad Cochran‘s wife is and snapping a photo of her, and posting it online.

Senator Thad Cochran (R-MS)

According to the Clarion Ledger, Kelly snuck into the nursing home and took a picture of a bedridden Rose Cochran, who has been at the nursing home since 2000. An attorney for the senator and his wife said their “privacy and dignity have been violated,” and explained that they were alerted to the picture being posted online. Cochran himself also put out a statement emphasizing how his wife’s health continues to be a private family matter.

Kelly is a supporter of Cochran opponent Chris McDaniel, but the McDaniel campaign has strongly denied any connection to or knowledge of Kelly’s actions, let alone any knowledge of who he is.

Thad Cochran is a vulnerable Republican in the primaries. The state of Mississippi is considered safe for Republicans. There's not many areas Democrats can win.

GOP Fundraising Off Benghazi!

We need answers!

We need your money so we can get the answers to why four Americans were killed on September 11, 2012. It's essential that we, the Republican Party succeed in making President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton responsible for the deliberate cover up of Benghazi.

Right off the bat, the Democrats are saying this Benghazi tragedy is being used to rile up votes for the Midterm. They're correct.

Because the Republicans jobs plan is mainly to save theirs.

Republicans are once again investigating the lead ups to the terrorist attack on the American consulate in Libya.

That killed Libyan Ambassador J. Christopher Stephens and three other men.

Republicans once again waste our taxpayer dollars on a committee hearing that might net them little to nothing. The committee being led by politico Trey Gowdy (R-SC) is going to be partisan event.

The National Republican Congressional Committee is raising money off this.

Weeper of the House, John Boehner (R-OH) was asked three times about fundraising emails sent by the National Republican Congressional Committee that sought to capitalize on this week's announcement of a select committee to investigate the Benghazi attacks.

"Our focus is on getting the answers to those families who lost their loved ones. Period," Boehner said.

Boehner was pressed again on why the NRCC, the committee charged with helping to elect Republicans to the House, is using the issue as a fundraising opportunity.

"Our focus is getting the truth for these four families and the American people," Boehner said, only to repeat the line moments later when another reporter raised the same question.

The NRCC has thus far refused to back down from fundraising campaigns related to Benghazi. Andrea Bozek, the group's communications director, said the Obama administration had been dishonest with the American people about the attacks, which occurred on an American diplomatic mission.

The conservatives are pushing Republicans into these investigations into just about everything.

They found Lois Lerner in contempt of Congress. The partisan vote concluded with Republicans finding that the former IRS head was responsible for denying Tea Party groups applications.

Democrats are mum on boycotting the whole ordeal.

Benghazi: The Never Ending Story!

South Carolina politico Trey Gowdy (R-SC) will be the lead in the investigation of Benghazi.

When the Republicans are talking about jobs, they're actually meaning "save" their jobs!

Vance McAllister, Michael Grimm, and Trey Radel are under fire. These Republicans done so much damage to the party. But these issues will be ignored for the most ridiculous issues in America.

For example, did you know it cost millions of dollars for an investigation?

This unprecedented amount of money being wasted on a tragedy that occurred nearly two years ago merits a response. The reason for this response is the constant theatrics created by those Republicans in the House.

They know there's no more evidence in this case. But since the Tea Party (far right/racist right) is obsessed with this nonsense, they'll be more committees and witch hunts against President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

House Weeper John Boehner (R-OH) proposed a committee chair for this investigation into Benghazi. He appointed the far right politico Trey Gowdy (R-SC) as the chair.

Benghazi U.S. Consulate attack on September 11, 2012 killed four Americans.

Okay on September 11, 2012, the Middle East was upset over an American video that surfaced on the social networks depicting the Prophet Mohammad in a negative light.

The Innocence of Muslims was an anti-Islamic movie and it caused demonstrations and violent protests against the video to break out on September 11 in Egypt and spread to other Arab and Muslim nations and to some western countries. The protests have led to hundreds of injuries and over 50 deaths

"The trailer opens with scenes of Egyptian security forces standing idle as Muslims pillage and burn the homes of Egyptian Christians. Then it cuts to cartoonish scenes depicting the Prophet Muhammad as a child of uncertain parentage, a buffoon, a womanizer, a homosexual, a child molester and a greedy, bloodthirsty thug."

Obtained by Wikipedia, the situation turned into a deadly even in Libya. The attack in Benghazi, Libya, started when heavily armed attackers killed the U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans on September 11.

President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and members of his administration were at Andrews Air Force Base to pay their respects to the four Americans who were killed in Libya. Then secretary of state Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, then UN Ambassador now National Security Adviser were in attendance.

Some U.S. officials, speaking under anonymity, said that they believed the Benghazi attack was coordinated and planned in advance, and not prompted by the film.

Al-Qaeda has indicated responsibility and said it was in revenge for a U.S. drone strike which killed Libyan Abu Yahya al-Libi, an al-Qaeda leader.

The role of the video in motivating the attack quickly became an ongoing dispute in the American political arena. Numerous eyewitnesses reported that the attackers said they were motivated by the video.

The Benghazi investigation is on. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC).

Though Libyan officials initially stated that hundreds of protesters had been present before the attack, later investigations by the U.S. government concluded that no protest took place prior to the attack.

These investigations indicate that the notion of Benghazi protests originated from within the intelligence community and the Central Intelligence Agency due to the concurrent worldwide violence and protests resulting from the film Innocence of Muslims.

Subsequent investigations by the U.S. State Department; by the House of Representatives committees on Armed Services, Foreign Affairs, Intelligence, the Judiciary, and Oversight and Government Reform; and by the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence determined that there was no protest and that the attack was a planned terrorist attack launched by Islamist militants. These investigations indicate that the notion of Benghazi protests originated from within the intelligence community and the Central Intelligence Agency due to the concurrent worldwide violence and protests resulting from the film Innocence of Muslims.

I am for one tired of hearing about Benghazi. This event didn't occur in the United States. The CIA screwed up on the talking points. September 11, 2001 was probably way more worse than Benghazi. They are still trying to figure answers to why this event happened on American soil.

Republicans can't seem to let Obamacare, Benghazi and the president is....whatever go!

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney and National Security Adviser Susan Rice.

The Democrats to win the House of Representatives is a long shot. This should be easy. I mean Congress has a record low job approval under the weeper. The weeper knows that his days as leader are numbered.

The potential for a Democratic sweep is unlikely because of those dumbass Republican governors and state lawmakers who gerrymandered districts to make it totally harder for Democrats to pickup seats. You have to be as crazy as a Republican now to win.

Democrats have a plan but no action. They can talk about how Republicans wasted millions by shutting down the government, repealing a law that's been in effect for over four years, blocking minimum wage, blocking equal pay for women, blocking immigration reform, and these stupid committees on nothing and still get ignored by the junk food media.

Which Side Are Conservatives On?

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) is the most ineffective leader ever. The Ohio lawmaker has been the head of the House of Representatives for quite some time now. But as leader of the House, the Republicans have been undermining President Barack Obama at every turn.

Now all of sudden, it seems like the Speaker of House has pissed off his conservative allies.

He is expected to win this week with the May primaries. But has Ohio and practically the rest of the nation had enough of the tear-jerker?

On That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall's website, it screenshots the weeper and it says it's mocking his fellow colleagues on immigration reform. He was in Liberty Township a few weeks ago and he was jokingly mocking some in the Tea Party about their refusal to do immigration reform and a raise in the minimum wage.

Yeah, the minimum wage and immigration debates are very important. But to the Republicans, its just another attempt for the Democrats to save grace in the wake of another thumping.

Obama wins the election. Conservatives call it an epic disaster.

Orange is the new Black.

Obama speaks on the arrest of Henry "Skip" Gates. Conservatives say that Obama hates the cops.

Obama speaks to high school students. Conservatives call it indoctrination.

Obama goes on vacations and golf outings. Conservatives call it grandiose spending.

Obama says about Trayvon Martin could have been one of his sons. Conservatives are now trying to link every Black criminal to the deceased teen.

Obama does executive orders. Conservatives call him a dictator.

Obama signs the law to allow all Americans access to healthcare. Conservatives bully the Republicans to repeal the law 50 times.

Representatives Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Jason Chaffettz (R-UT).

They praise foreign leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin over President Barack Obama.

Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi.... Over and over again. No smoking gun in the situation in Libya but yet the Republicans and their conservative (racist right) allies are double down on this instead of jobs in America.

Again they're so fixated on this. But we can't talk about the massive attack on American soil on September 11, 2001. The failed policies that lead up to the attacks on New York, Washington DC and Pennsylvania.

Oh, but what difference does it make? Nearly 3,000 lives to four. And yet, George W. Bush never was impeached, attacked by the victim's families on his negligence.

This week bores another waste of taxpayer dollars. The Republicans are expected to vote on a select committee into the issue with Benghazi.

Judicial Watch, a conservative legal group obtained documents through the Freedom Of Information Act claiming that the White House withheld information. Based on the documents they claim that the talking points about a "spontaneous" protest actually being a terrorist attack.

California Republican Darrell Issa has ordered Secretary of State John Kerry to appear in Washington.

Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and John McCain (R-AZ).

Republicans, understand something. While Benghazi was a horrible tragedy it didn't amount to the epic disasters on American soil.

Hurricane Katrina, September 11, 2001 were the most epic disasters ever.

Superstorm Sandy would only top that. President Barack Obama was prepared.

Yeah, Lindsey Graham, John McCain and Darrell Issa. You guys been on GOP Sundays along with the weeper bitching constantly about how Obama, could of, would of, and should of done.

But here's the problem with you guys. At least President Obama isn't hyping up for war like you warturkeys!

Boehner, you suck as a lawmaker. I can testify for it. For I once was a part of your congressional district and believe me I wish there was someone better than the Orange.

May Flowers!

President Barack Obama with House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) at the Andrews Air Force golf course.

Ah choo, looks like Spring is an allergy prone season. But for the upcoming Summer months, it looks like it's a little more better for the unemployed.

It seems like even with an inept Congress, President Barack Obama is getting things done. The Department of Labor releases its monthly jobs report for April and it seems like they gotten over 288,000 jobs for the month.

It pulls the unemployment rate to 6.3%.

This is great news for the unemployed and underemployed. That means that everything is working.

The Republicans already put their gamble on blocking minimum wage. A partially bipartisan bill was killed by the Stallmigos.

Also with that being said, it's unfortunate that the very same Republicans blocked immigration reform, the president's job proposals, green energy and unemployment benefits.

CNBC reports that despite the big number, not all the news was good: The headline rate tumbled as 806,000 people left the civilian labor force. The labor force participation rate slumped to 62.8 percent, its worst of the year and near 35-year lows. Also, the average work week was unchanged at 34.5 hours, as were average hourly earnings at $24.31.

Vice President Joe Biden (right) with Boehner, Harry Reid, Mitch McConnell and Nancy Pelosi.

Consequently, markets moved higher following the report's release, but only modestly. Stock market futures indicated a slight gain at the open, though government bond yields popped.

The report comes amid economic growth of 0.1 percent in the first quarter that consensus expects to reverse higher for the rest of 2014. Friday's number added to those hopes.

Employment surged across sectors, with professional and business sectors adding 75,000 and retail gaining 35,000. Food and drinking establishments rose 33,000 while construction added 32,000 positions, according to the report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Revisions reported Friday further doused the weather story, as job creation was actually quite strong in the early months of 2014. Revisions pushed February's number to 222,000 and March's initially reported 192,000 to 203,000.

At the same time, the Federal Reserve has been forced to adjust its focus on the headline unemployment rate as a guide for policy.

The U.S. central bank had kept a 6.5 percent target as the trigger for a rate increase, but declining labor force participation and weak inflation ratings have forced the Fed to change its approach from targeting specific numbers to a more nebulous focus on the quality of economic conditions.

Friday's nonfarm payrolls report was unlikely to move the needle on Fed policy, which is focused on reducing the monthly bond purchases and keeping its target funds rate near zero.

NY Republican Congressman Arrested!

Congressman Michael Grimm (R-NY) is under federal indictment for corruption.

Republican Michael Grimm of New York is reportedly surrendering to the FBI today.

According to sources, the embattled politico was under investigation for misuse of campaign fundraising.

Grimm represents Staten Island and parts of southern Brooklyn, including the neighborhoods of Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, Dyker Heights, and Gravesend. Politically, it is the most conservative district in New York City, the only district in the city which leans towards the Republican Party in national elections, and the only district covering part of the city to be represented by a Republican. The district has significant Jewish, Irish-American, Russian-American, and Italian-American populations.

From 2003-2013, the district was located entirely in Brooklyn, and had a majority African-American population. Most of the old 11th is now the 9th District. Prior to 2013, most of the territory currently in the 11th had been the 13th District.

He is a former FBI agent, businessman, attorney, and U.S. Marine, having served in the Persian Gulf War.

In August 2012, the office of the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York said it was investigating Grimm's 2010 campaign. In November 2012, the House Ethics Committee decided to inquire into the campaign but agreed to "defer consideration" of it at the Department of Justice's request.

In January 2014, the FBI arrested Diana Durand on charges that she had illegally donated more than $10,000 to Grimm's 2010 campaign. Durand allegedly gave the campaign $4,800, the legal limit, but then used straw donors to donate more than $10,000 illegally. The FBI also charged Durand with lying to Federal agents about the matter. Grimm denied any wrongdoing.

The investigation, which originally focused on Grimm's 2010 fundraising, branched out to include Grimm's prior business dealings. On April 25, 2014, Grimm's attorney was advised by the U.S. Attorney's office that his client will be indicted on undetermined federal charges concerning a restaurant he had owned prior to running for Congress.

Earlier this year, Grimm threatened a reporter after an interview went bad. The reporter asked Grimm about his federal investigation and that's when the lawmaker went bonkers. He threatened to toss the reporter over the balcony of the U.S. Capitol.

He would later apologize to the reporter.

He, Congressman Vance McAllister (R-LA), along with former Florida Republican lawmaker Trey Radel may have given the Democrats an opening. The Politico have labeled these lawmakers the Bad Boys of Washington.

Could there be more Republicans under investigation?

This could change the outlook of a very nervous Democratic Party. They may suck right now, but at least they have a plan on how to get Americans back to work. Republicans have nothing. They have more enthusiasm and the ability (for now).

Republicans are slated to take back the U.S. Senate if Democrats fail to turnout for the U.S. Midterms.

Jackass Owner Of LA Clippers Utters Racial Hate!

Donald Sterling caught on tape uttering racial prejudice towards Blacks.

If this is what a controversial NBA owner thinks of Black people, then why on Earth would this man own a team that caters to 70% of the team being Black male?

It's ironic that the Los Angeles Clippers are in the NBA playoffs. They were considered one of the worst teams in the league. Now they're really smoking. They share Staples Arena with the longtime Los Angeles Lakers.

The jackass owner of the team would be force toe explain his reasons to why he doesn't want Blacks at his games. I want to know why this guy still has a NBA team?

It was released over the weekend by celebrity agitator TMZ.

It show the NBA owner Don Sterling making not so nice comments about Blacks at sporting events.

TMZ Sports released an audio conversation recorded by V. Stiviano, Sterling's girlfriend.

Both Stiviano and Sterling argued in regards to a posted photo Stiviano uploaded on Instagram where she posed with Magic Johnson. In the audio recording, Sterling tells Stiviano: “It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you’re associating with black people. Do you have to?

Sterling rails on Stiviano -- who ironically is black and Mexican -- for putting herself out in public with a black person (she has since taken the pic down).  But it doesn't end there.  You have to listen to the audio to fully grasp the magnitude of Sterling's racist worldview. Among the comments:

LA Clippers in the NBA Playoffs.

-- "It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you’re associating with black people. Do you have to?" (3:30) 

-- "You can sleep with [black people]. You can bring them in, you can do whatever you want.  The little I ask you is not to promote it on that ... and not to bring them to my games." (5:15)

-- "I’m just saying, in your lousy f******* Instagrams, you don’t have to have yourself with, walking with black people." (7:45)

-- "...Don't put him [Magic] on an Instagram for the world to have to see so they have to call me.  And don't bring him to my games." (9:13)

This fool has a history. Wikipedia has documented other events where Sterling, a Jewish business executive has turned his blind eye towards people of color.

In August 2006, the U.S. Department of Justice sued Sterling for housing discrimination in using race as a factor in filling some of his apartment buildings. The suit charged that Sterling refused to rent to non-Koreans in the Koreatown neighborhood and to African Americans in Beverly Hills.

The suit alleges Sterling once said he did not like to rent to Hispanics because they "smoke, drink and just hang around the building," and that "Black tenants smell and attract vermin."

In November 2009, ESPN reported that Sterling agreed to pay a fine of $2.73 million to settle claims brought by the Justice Department and Davin Day of Newport Beach that he engaged in discriminatory rental practices against Hispanics, blacks, and families with children.

Chris Paul.

In addition, Sterling was also ordered to pay attorneys' fees and costs in that action of $4,923,554.75. [Order Granting Motion for Prevailing Party's Attorneys' Fees and Costs, dated November 2, 2005, C.D. Cal. Case No. 2:03-cv-00859-DSF-E Dkt No. 454]. In granting the attorney's fees and costs Judge Dale S. Fischer noted "Sterling's' scorched earth' litigation tactics, some of which are described by the Plaintiffs' counsel and some of which were observed by the Court. The Court has no difficulty accepting Plaintiffs' counsel's representations that the time required to be spent on this case was increased by defendant's counsel's often unacceptable, and sometimes outrageous conduct." [Id. at p. 5]

In February 2009, Sterling was sued by former longtime Clippers executive Elgin Baylor for employment discrimination on the basis of age and race.

The lawsuit alleges Sterling told Baylor that he wanted to fill his team with "poor black boys from the South and a white head coach".

The suit alleges that during negotiations for Danny Manning, Sterling said "I'm offering a lot of money for a poor black kid."

The suit noted those comments while alleging "the Caucasian head coach was given a four-year, $22-million contract", but Baylor's salary had "been frozen at a comparatively paltry $350,000 since 2003".
