Si Amigo Bush!

Jeb Bush caught some flack over the weekend. He labeled on his voter form he's Hispanic. Bush is White.

The inept Republican Party is fighting within itself. They are tired of losing the presidential elections.

They lined up two candidates who they thought could beat Barack Obama. That proved to be an epic failure.

Now the party is eager to take back the White House. As much as I hate to say it, the Republicans are more enthusiastic about the 2016 Presidential Elections. 

The junk food media has given so much attention to the next wave of clowns running. They want to be the nominee who can beat Hillary Clinton and undo the legacy of President Barack Obama.

Each of the contenders have decent backgrounds. One in particular is the son and brother of two presidents. 

John Ellis Bush or Jeb as most call him is the former Florida governor. He served two terms as Florida's governor. His term was marred with controversy after he passed the "Stand Your Ground" law and his meddling in the Terri Shavio affair. 

The family Bush. George W., George H.W., and Jeb.

Jeb was born in Midland, TX and grew up in suburban Houston. Bush grew up in Houston, Texas. He graduated from Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts and then attended the University of Texas, where he earned a degree in Latin American affairs. Following his father's successful run for Vice President in 1980, he moved to Florida and pursued a career in real estate development. In 1986, Bush was named Florida's Secretary of Commerce, a position he held until resigning in 1988 to help his father's successful campaign for the Presidency.

In 1994, Bush made his first run for office, narrowly losing the election for governor by less than two percentage points to the incumbent Lawton Chiles. Bush ran again in 1998 and beat Lieutenant Governor Buddy MacKay with 55 percent of the vote. He ran for reelection in 2002 and won with 56 percent to become Florida's first two-term Republican Governor.

During his eight years as governor, Bush was credited with initiating improvements in the environment, as well as reforming the education system.

He is seriously considering a run for the nomination. He figures that many Hispanics voters could cross over and help Republicans secure a victory. 

Bush can speak fluent Spanish. He is married to Columba Bush, a immigrant from Mexico. They have three children. George P. Bush his oldest son is the current Texas State Land Controller. 

Jeb's dad was George H.W. Bush the 41st President of the United States. His brother George W. Bush was the 43rd President of the United States. 

Unfortunately the majority White party he belongs to isn't so keen on it. 

Start it off with Ted Cruz. The controversial Stallmigo from Texas is one of the many insurgents who are trying to keep Bush from winning this Republican nomination. Cruz, born in Canada is the first to announce he's running for the nomination. He and potential nominee fellow Stallmigo Marco Rubio of Florida are Hispanic and they will use this against Bush.

The New York Times reports that Bush may have become a bit carried away: He listed himself as Hispanic on a 2009 voter-registration application in Miami-Dade County.

A Bush spokeswoman said she had no explanation. But Mr. Bush went on Twitter on Monday to say:

My mistake! Don’t think I’ve fooled anyone! RT @JebBushJr LOL - come on dad, think you checked the wrong box #HonoraryLatino
— Jeb Bush (@JebBush) April 6, 2015

Carolina Lopez, deputy supervisor of elections for Miami-Dade, said voters must submit hard copies of applications with a signature before receiving a voter information card that confirms their address and polling location.

According to the Florida Division of Elections, the application requires a signature because the voter is swearing or affirming an oath.

The New York Times obtained Mr. Bush’s application from the Miami-Dade County Elections Department. Florida law requires that the signature, driver’s license number and Social Security number be redacted before such a document is publicly released.

Mr. Bush, whose father and brother were president, is from a family that has been found to have strong ties to British and other European royalty.

While Mr. Bush, a likely Republican presidential candidate, may have made a mistake, confusion over heritage is no laughing matter during a campaign season.

Jeb Bush and his big family. From Top L-R, Jebby (with daughter). Noelle, and Jeb.
From Bottom L-R,  Sandra, Columba, Amanda and George (with son).

During her Senate campaign in 2012, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts was accused of misrepresenting herself as Native American. Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, who has officially announced his presidential campaign, has had to explain that he is eligible to run, despite being born in Canada, because his mother is an American citizen.

Democrats were quick to criticize Mr. Bush for the error.

Albert Morales, the Democratic National Committee’s Hispanic outreach director, said that Mr. Bush was “out of step” with Latinos, and the Florida Democratic Party suggested that he might have committed a felony.

Legal experts said that without evidence that Mr. Bush had intended to deceive, he was unlikely to face legal repercussions.

It is noted that Bush did run for governor back in the early 1990s. But during that time,  Bush ran that year as a conservative, and a notable moment in this campaign was when Bush was asked what he would do for African Americans if he gets elected, responding: "It’s time to strive for a society where there’s equality of opportunity, not equality of results. So I’m going to answer your question by saying: probably nothing."

The Bush family is big. Even bigger now that NBC News anchor Jenna Hager, the daughter of George W. Bush is expecting her second child. Well wishes to Jenna.

Jeb Bush got a lot to prove. Because the public may not be hungering for a Bush in the White House.

Could he defy the odds?

Rodner Figueroa: Give That _________ Michelle Obama A _________!

Poor choice of words for Spanish speaking American talk show host.

The cannon fired today. Inside was Univision talk show host Rodner Figueroa. He got sent out of the tent after he made a racially insensitive comment about First Lady Michelle Obama.

He had the nerve to call the beautiful first lady an ape.

Matter of fact, this fashion critic said that she kind of reminds him of a character from The Planet of The Apes.

Figueroa, who's known for his biting fashion commentary, made his remarks during a live segment of the show El Gordo y la Flaca. The hosts were commenting on a viral video that shows a makeup artist transforming himself into different celebrities, including Michelle Obama. "Well, watch out, you know that Michelle Obama looks like she's from the cast of Planet of the Apes, the movie," Figueroa, 42, said with a giggle.

When hostess Lili Estefan countered with "What are you saying?" and host Raul de Molina said Obama was very attractive, Figueroa defended his remark, saying, "But it is true." In a statement, Univision called Figueroa's comments "completely reprehensible" and said they "in no way reflect the values or opinions of Univision." Figueroa, who in 2014 won a Daytime Emmy Award, did not respond to requests for comment. He worked for Univision for 17 years.

This isn't the first time some agitator called the Obamas apes.

CNN reports that Figueroa issued a statement.

But in his statement today, Figueroa said that his comments were intended as a criticism of an unflattering job done by Obama's makeup artist.

"The full video clip in context shows that," he said.

Figueroa referred to his own background in asserting that he's "no racist."

"I come from a biracial Latino family with members like my father who are Afro-Latino," he said.

Figueroa showed contrition, too. He apologized to Obama and said said there's "no excuse" to make a comment "that could be interpreted as offensive or racist during these volatile times we're living in."

Figueroa also used the statement to highlight his voting history.

"I openly voted twice for your husband, Barack Obama, because I consider him a great man who respects minorities like me in this country," he said.

The videos are spoken in Spanish.

The Big Bank Theory Sacks The President's Address!

CBS, ABC, NBC and Fox are not going to air the president's address to the nation on his executive order to loosen immigration rules. They got a big lineup of shows on and they're not going to risk hearing the wrath of angry couch potatoes.

The president and Congress have failed in getting things done this session. The U.S. Senate passed a immigration reform bill but the House of Representatives didn't. It's likely going to die. The Keystone XL pipeline also died. The House passed it with strong Republican majority and died on one by the U.S. Senate. The Republicans with their 54 majority in the U.S. Senate, will wrangle some conservative (spineless chickenshit) Democrats to pass it in the new session. Nonetheless, the immigration reform is off the table. The healthcare law is going to be repealed again and this time Republicans will hang this around the neck of the next batch of Democrats up for slaughter.

The president is hoping to please Hispanics, Asians and non-American citizens by relaxing rules on federal immigration laws. He has the power to do so, but it comes with a price. This will spark a debate on getting a law passed in the lame duck session of Congress. It will also spur the notion that the president didn't listen to the American voter. Or perhaps the Republican Party is truly the party of racist and ignorant assholes.

The Republicans are threatening to shut down the government and impeachment if the president goes through on his promise.

So the president is telling the Republicans that he's done fucking around with them. He's got two years, he's going to go hard and finally push them to the edge. Republicans won the Midterms on the notion of fear and the president's low approval with his supporters.

The big networks are not giving the president an opportunity to broadcast his message. They are willing to stream it online, but no interruption of scheduling.

The Big Bank Theory is the country's most watched sitcom. The CBS Executives would be happy to air the address, but not on Thursday. The same goes for ABC, they have Grey's Anatomy and Scandal on Thursday. They don't want to deny the stans an opportunity to see episode.

Fox got Bones and Gracepoint that air. NBC got the Biggest Loser. A big reality show for the couch potatoes. Although these shows pull a huge base of stans, CBS and ABC win the night.

NBC's sister station Univision and the cable news channels are going to air the president's address to the nation.

The racist right is talking about it. They feel that this is a "snub" to the president.

Think what could happen if there's a serious event in America and the president speaks. We seen how they've reacted during the Sandy Hook school shooting a few years back. One Sunday, he talks during a NFL conference game and these racist bastards go all out on him.

Don't worry, the message will be heard!

Sad news, The Millers was given the ax on CBS. The sitcom was promoted on Monday after The Big Bang Theory and later 2 Broke Girls. According to the gods of junk food media criticism, ratings dropped fast.

So in order to finish off the sitcoms void, CBS is likely going to ax, Mike & Molly will take the helm. The show is coming back (for the time being). Mom, The McCarthys, are on the bubble as well as Mike & Molly. They are ending Two & Half Men after Angus T. Jones quit the show. The Charlie Sheen era netted nine seasons. The fiasco did help push the show for three more seasons. But with the half man gone, it's curtains for the long running sitcom.

The Millers starred Will Arnett, Sean Hayes, Margo Martindale, Beau Bridges and J.B. Smooth

White Majority On The Decline In Schools!

American institutions are getting browner.

May 2012 marked the beginning of an end for a majority population.

As of today, this August marks the beginning of the school season for 2014 - 2015.

It seems like White students are no longer a majority in all schools. Que the outrage from our conservative agitating friends of the American junk food media.

The far right websites are going bananas over the latest revelation.

The Associated Press reports that a cheerful sign outside Jane Cornell's summer school classroom in Pennsylvania's wealthiest county says "Welcome" and "Bienvenidos" in polished handwriting.

Inside, giggling grade-schoolers who mostly come from homes where Spanish is the primary language worked on storytelling with a tale about a crocodile going to the dentist. The children and their classroom at the Mary D. Lang Kindergarten Center, near both mushroom farms and the borough's bucolic red-brick downtown, are a subtle reminder of America's changing school demographics.

For the first time ever, U.S. public schools are projected this fall to have more minority students than non-Hispanic whites enrolled, a shift largely fueled by growth in the number of Hispanic children.

Non-Hispanic white students are still expected to be the largest racial group in the public schools this year at 49.8 percent. But the National Center for Education Statistics says minority students, when added together, will now make up the majority.

About one-quarter of the minority students are Hispanic, 15 percent are black and 5 percent are Asian and Pacific Islanders. Biracial students and Native Americans make up a smaller share of the minority student population.

Education Secretary Arne Duncan called the changing population a seminal moment in education. "We can't talk about other people's children. These are our children," he said.

The shift creates new academic realities, such as the need for more English language instruction, and cultural ones, meaning changes in school lunch menus to reflect students' tastes.

But it also brings some complex societal questions that often fall to school systems to address, including issues of immigration, poverty, diversity and inequity.

The result, at times, is racial and ethnic tension.

In Louisiana in July, Jefferson Parish public school administrators reached an agreement with the federal government to end an investigation into discrimination against English language learners.

In May, police had to be called to a school in the Streamwood, Illinois, a Chicago suburb, to help break up a fight between Hispanic and black students after a racially based lunchroom brawl got out of control.

Issues of race and ethnicity in school can also be more subtle.

In the Kennett Consolidated School District, Superintendent Barry Tomasetti described parents who opt to send their kids to private schools across the border in Delaware after touring diverse classrooms. Other families, he said, seek out the district's diverse schools "because they realize it's not a homogenous world out there."

Your children could grow up to be an agitator like this guy.

The changes in the district, about an hour southwest outside of Philadelphia, from mostly middle-to-upper class white to about 40 percent Hispanic was driven partly by workers migrating from Mexico and elsewhere to work the mushroom farms.

"We like our diversity," Tomasetti said, even as he acknowledged the cost. He has had to hire English language instructors and translators for parent-teacher conferences. He has cobbled together money to provide summer school for many young English language learners who need extra reading and math support.

"Our expectation is all of our kids succeed," he said.

Private schools nationally are changing as well, seeing a smaller number of white students and a greater number of Hispanic students in their decreasing pool of children.

The new majority-minority status of America's schools mirrors a change that is coming for the nation as a whole. The Census Bureau estimates that the country's population will have more minorities than whites for the first time in 2043, a change due in part to higher birth rates among Hispanics and a stagnating or declining birth rate among blacks, whites and Asians.

Today, slightly more than 1 in 5 kids speaks a language other than English at home.

But even as the population becomes more diverse, schools are becoming more racially segregated, reflecting U.S. housing patterns.

The disparities are evident even in the youngest of black, Hispanic and Native American children, who on average enter kindergarten academically behind their white and Asian peers. They are more likely to attend failing schools and face harsher school discipline.

Later, they have lower standardized test scores, on average, fewer opportunities to take advanced classes and are less likely to graduate.

Duncan said the disparities are unacceptable, and the country needs to make sure all students "have an opportunity to have a world class education, to do extraordinarily well."

As the school-age population has become more nonwhite, it's also become poorer, said Patricia Gandara, co-director of the Civil Rights Project at UCLA who serves on President Barack Obama's advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics.

Roughly one-quarter of Hispanics and African-Americans live below the poverty line - meaning a family of four has nearly $24,000 in annual income - and some of the poorest of Hispanic children are dealing with the instability of being in the country illegally or with a parent who is, Gandara said.

Diversity is coming.

Focusing on teacher preparation and stronger curriculum is "not going to get us anywhere unless we pay attention to the really basic needs of these children, things like nutrition and health and safety, and the instability of the homes," she said.

This transformation in school goes beyond just educating the children. Educators said parents must feel comfortable and accepted in schools, too.

Lisa Mack, president of the Ohio PTA, encourages local leaders to include grandparents and replace events such as a sock hop with one with a Motown theme that might be more inclusive or to provide opportunities for people of different ethnic groups to bring food to share at monthly meetings.

"I think one thing that's critical is that schools and PTAs and everyone just need to understand that with changing demographics, you can't do things the way you've done them before," she said. "That you have to be creative in reaching out and making them feel welcomed and valued and supported in the school system."

Some schools are seeking teachers to help reflect the demographics of their student population.

Today, fewer than 1 in 5 of the public schools teachers is a minority. "It is an ongoing challenge to try and make our teacher population reflect our student population," said Steve Saunders, spokesman for the Adams County, Colorado, school district outside Denver that has seen a large shift toward having Hispanic students.

The New America Foundation, in a recent report, suggested teacher prep programs have at least one class for teachers on working with non-native English speakers and that education programs embrace bilingualism.

Andrea Giunta, a senior policy analyst at the National Education Association who focuses on teacher recruiting, retention and diversity, said you can't assume that teachers are a good match just because of their background.

"Just because you speak Spanish doesn't mean you speak the same Spanish your students are speaking and communicating with," she said.

This comes as the NEA, the nation's largest union, just elected an all-minority leadership team in July. The new president, Lily Eskelsen Garcia, is Latina, and the vice president and secretary-treasurer, Rebecca S. Pringle and Princess Moss, are black.

In Kennett Square, superintendent Tomasetti said Hispanic students in his district are performing at levels, on average, higher than their peers statewide. One recent graduate, Christian Cordova-Pedroza, is attending Harvard University this fall. Cordova-Pedroza is one of five children of a mushroom farmer from Mexico.

Cordova-Pedroza credited the motivation instilled by his parents combined with access to a variety of educational opportunities for his success, including an after-school program that included tutoring and help with college applications. He also was active in a Latino leadership club that helps provides translation services in the community and participated in summer programs at Penn State and Princeton.

"Certainly, I had to work hard to get there, but I feel like at every opportunity that I had a chance of participating in or doing that, I was always like, `Yes, I want to do that,'" he said.

Nearby, at El Nayarit Mexico Grocery Store, owner Jaime Sandoval, a native of Mexico with six kids, said he's been pleased with the education his children have received. His 9-year-old daughter, he said, wants to be a teacher.

"She loves to read and all that stuff," Sandoval said. "She always has good grades on English and she loves it much."

Glenn Beck Does Have A Soul! Although Some Don't Believe He Had One In The First Place!

Conservatives believe the agitator is a traitor because he helped immigrants.

The controversial agitator and media mogul decides to be a "giver of grace!"

I don't believe the hype.

Outside his Dallas mansion, the conservative agitator will plan on assisting migrants who fled their countries to seek asylum in the United States.

He plans on bringing food and toys to the children that are in detention camps. That has struck a nerve with the agitators he claims are "allies" to his cause.

Republicans are determined to undermine the president. The president has a proposal to solving the problem, but it will face fierce resistance from the House and Senate Republicans. The Republicans are going to not assist in giving the president his $4 billion proposal to curb this problem.

The conservative agitator and many of his friends on the racist right are so pissed off at the president. They believe President Barack Obama allowed "backyard amnesty" to millions of migrants from the Southern border.

Instead of having compassion towards migrant children who fled from sex trafficking and the civil wars (drug cartels), many here in the states believe that these vermin are not welcomed.

Murrieta, California and parts of Texas have been hotbeds of White extremism. Some traveled from other towns to meet Immigration and Customs Enforcement buses at their docking stations. They threaten to stand in the way of migrants who illegally came to the country.

The Mugshot Of The "Handsome Thug" Goes Viral!

Smile for the cameras. A man in the county lockup won praise for being the most handsome mugshot ever!

It's Friday and I am guessing that no good news is bad news. The country is going nuts over some guy who had the perfect mugshot.

While in the California country lockup, Jeremy Meeks got over 33,000 "likes" on the social networks.

Meeks, a 30 year old felon was booked for weapons charges. While it was posted by the Stockton police department,  the mugshot gains positive feedback. No previous arrest photo has garnered so much positive attention since the department set up the Facebook page in March 2012, says Joseph Silva a spokesman for Stockton police.

The Associated Press reports that Meeks got praise for his high cheek bones, chiseled face and striking blue eyes.

"I have not seen that many likes for a photo before," he said.

By late Thursday, Meeks' arrest photo had garnered more than 33,000 "likes," and 10,400 comments, and had been shared more than 3,300 times.

"Wow. That is one good looking mug shot!" one person wrote.

"Momma, I'm in love with a criminal," another joked.

Some online commentators even said Meeks looked like he belonged in an Abercrombie & Fitch ad or on the show "America's Next Top Model."

Still others were disapproving, such as one observer who said, "He may be a tad bit cute, but with six felonies, he ain't that cute."

Meeks was one of four men taken into custody during Operation Ceasefire, a multiagency mission to curb a recent increase in shootings and robberies in the Weston Ranch area of Stockton, a Northern California city of about 300,000 nestled amid the network of waterways that form the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.

Four firearms were confiscated during a sweep Wednesday involving the Stockton police gang unit, the FBI, the U.S. Marshals Task Force and other agencies.

Silva called Meeks "one of the most violent criminals in the Stockton area," though he declined to provide any details on the crimes that Meeks is believed to have been involved in.

Meeks, who is being held in lieu of $900,000 bail, is scheduled to be arraigned Friday afternoon.

Silva did not know whether he had retained a lawyer.

Julián Castro Raising The Stakes!

San Antonio mayor Julián Castro will be the pick for HUD. His brother Joaquin is a Democratic U.S. Congressman from Texas. 

Soon the San Antonio mayor will be a part of President Barack Obama's administration giving the junk food media more speculation that he may be a potential contender for White House.

The bid for the secretary of Housing and Urban Development is going to filled today.

Shaun Donovan will resign from this post today to be the nominee for the Office of Budget Management.

Julián Castro delivered the Democratic keynote speech in 2012 giving the junk food media a bone. His speech rings echos of then candidate for U.S. Senate Barack Obama's famed 2004 Democratic keynote speech.

Obama would win his bid for the U.S. Senate. Most media analysis knew that Obama was an early front runner for the White House. Although he kept it under wraps until 2007, the talk was growing. I knew from the jump that Barack Obama was the first serious Black contender for the White House.

I have this feeling again. I believe that Castro will be the best candidate for the Democratic nomination.

I really believe that Hillary Clinton is destined for failure. She's a well liked and also most talked about politician. She was a former First Lady, U.S. Senator and Secretary of State.

The two things that may sink her chances: Perennial candidate and she carries a lot of baggage.

Conservatives will whine Benghazi, Whitewater, Monica Lewinsky, age, and Bill Clinton every chance they get. They really are obsessed with Clinton and especially Obama.

I have a feeling that she'll be toying around the notion of running for president, but in reality she won't.

Castro being young, Hispanic and well-liked is the perfect choice for the Democrats.

Democrats have a growing Hispanic/Latino base. He seems to have the formula of President Barack Obama in connecting to young voters with the internet.

Republicans are hoping to appeal to the young voters. They figure that hip-hop Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida could pull in a few.

Castro will be mention frequently on Journal de la Reyna.

Obviously if he declares his intent to run, expect the attacks from the racist right to come.

First his last name will be compared to Fidel Castro. He's Hispanic, so once again the birth certificate rumors. Then they'll attack his brother, his wife and even his child. They will take shots at San Antonio.

The racist right will claim that Blacks and Latinos vote only on race instead of policies.

The racist right will do a Obama style NIGGERZATION on Castro.

Big Boom In Harlem!

A gas line rupture caused a major explosion in Harlem.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to those lost in today's tragedy.

New York's Harlem experienced a major explosion. A five story building has exploded and it collapsed killing three individuals.

CNN reports that at least three people were killed in the massive explosion and fire Wednesday that leveled Patterson's building and the one beside it.

Nine people remained missing hours after the blast, city officials said. Firefighters were still frantically picking through rubble in search of survivors.

Authorities say they think a gas leak was to blame, but they haven't determined an official cause yet.

The massive explosion and fire leveled two five-story apartment buildings. At least 63 people were reported injured.

More fatalities appeared likely. Fire officials reported that two survivors suffered life-threatening injuries.

Near 116th Street and Park Avenue, once the heart of New York's large Puerto Rican community, about a dozen firefighters tore at two-story-high mounds of bricks in a search for survivors from the two buildings, which housed a piano store and an evangelical church in addition to apartments.

As gas and electric utility workers tore up pavement in an effort to shut gas lines, people gathered in the streets, many crying.

"This is a tragedy of the worst kind," New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said, "because there was no indication in time to save people."

Feeding Time! [NSFW]

Wow, we just getting worked up over a Danish zoo putting down a giraffe and then feeding the carcass to the lions.

I hate to say this but it's "KILL OR BE KILLED!"

The Copenhagen zoo said it had to euthanize Marius, a perfectly healthy two-year-old young giraffe, to prevent inbreeding. Bengt Holst, the zoo’s scientific director said Marius didn't fit with the zoo’s breeding program.

If you understand the nature of the situation, why should they bury a huge animal?

Would be better they end up putting the animal into a grinder and serve it to the children?

Would you like it better if the giraffe would carry an infectious disease that could affect every animal or human in its presence?

C'mon, I don't have no problem with the video. I understand it's troubling and the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals will be pissed but seriously, what should they do?

Would people be upset that a healthy giraffe be killed by a lion?

The zoo said fears of inbreeding kept them from selling Marius to other institutions, and added that sterilization would adversely affect the giraffe’s health.

In a seemingly macabre twist, the euthanization by bolt gun occurred in public and in front of children at the zoo. Holst said the children were not affected by the scene, and “asked good questions.”

Horst said between twenty and thirty animals a year are culled due to breeding decisions. This was the first giraffe. “I do not understand the outrage,” he said. “We have to ensure a safe healthy population for the future, and you can only have a healthy population if you control and coordinate your breeding efforts.”

Looking U.S. Up In Texas!

States are seeing an increase in population. The country's southern region saw rapid growth and the Midwest and Northeast seen some real decrease or stagnant growth.

The U.S. population for a time being has slowed down. The states such as Florida, Colorado, Arizona, North Carolina, Texas and Virginia gains population while Ohio, Illinois, West Virginia, Rhode Island, Pennsyslvania, Minnesota, and Michigan saw a decrease in population.

Houston population 4.3 million people.

That means that Texas will likely get three new congressional seats in the 2020 U.S. Census.

Florida is on track to surpass New York as the third most populated state.

Dallas

Ohio loses a seat and North Carolina gains a seat. Ohio the election bellweather is the state that most politicos visit during a presidential election. This state determines the outcome of American elections.

Ohio is the state that went to Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama. The winner of Ohio managed to secure a second term with exception of George H.W. Bush.


The Los Angeles Times reports that population growth in Southern and Western states, led by Texas, California and Florida, accounted for more than 80% of new residents nationwide over the last three years, surpassing the Northeast and Midwest in the demographic contest that plays a key role in determining states' political clout.

San Antonio

Population estimates are eagerly watched by state officials because the figures determine the flow of money into many federal programs and the number of seats each state receives in the House of Representatives. That number gets readjusted each decade.

The new data reinforce a trend that has seen Southern states' growth outpace that of the Northeast and Midwest. Texas, which gained four seats in the last round of congressional reapportionment, lagged behind only North Dakota and the District of Columbia in the rate of population growth since the 2010 census.

California, with 38,332,521 residents, and Texas, with 26,448,193, remain the nation's most populous states.

New York narrowly maintained its third-place spot with 19,651,127 residents, compared with Florida's 19,552,860, as of July 1. But the Sunshine State will soon surpass New York because its population is growing about three times faster, according to the census estimates, which are based on data measuring births, deaths and migration.

Austin

As a percent of population, California's growth again outpaced the national average over the last year, rising 0.9%, or 332,643 new residents, compared with 0.7% nationwide.

But in raw numbers, Texas added the most residents, 387,397.

An improving state economy in the second half of 2013 may augur faster growth in California, but Texas still has an advantage because of its energy-based economy and a population that is trending younger.


Texas is "going to keep growing a cumulative advantage in redistricting, until the oil economy turns [down] again," said Dowell Myers, a demography expert and professor at USC's Price School of Public Policy. "But California's adding jobs more rapidly now than Texas. So probably next year I would bet that California's share of the growth is up a little bit more."

North Dakota is the nation's fastest-growing state, driven by a thriving oil and gas industry. North Dakota's population stood at 723,393 on July 1, according to the census data, a 3.1% increase from 2012. Since the 2010 census, North Dakota's population has grown 7.6%, far outpacing the national rate of 2.4%.

Fort Worth

Kevin Iverson, manager of the North Dakota Census Office, says the biggest population growth has been among 19- to 34-year-olds, primarily through migration.

"The economic winds have clearly favored North Dakota," Iverson said, attributing it mainly to the energy boom but also growth in the manufacturing and agriculture sectors. "The real question begins to become, to what extent can you continue to grow?"

Population in the District of Columbia also grew at a sustained clip, rising 2.1% from 2012 to 2013 to 646,449. Utah grew the next fastest, at a rate of 1.6%, followed by Colorado and Texas at 1.5% and Nevada at 1.3%.

West Virginia and Maine saw slight population declines in the last year. Pennsylvania, New Mexico, Vermont and Illinois posted the slowest population growth, all at or near a tenth of 1 percentage point.

The national population stood at 316,128,839 on July 1, an increase of 2.3 million. But the annual growth rate nationally continues to lag behind where it was in the mid-2000s before the economic downturn.

Megyn The Outrage Princess: Jesus And Santa Claus Were White As Snow!

A little crinkle got her riled up!

The folks over at Loserville are mounting another War on Christmas.

Who will be the next causality of the war?

Will it be a little girl who was denied to put religion in her cookie box?

Will the city of San Francisco have an atheist display around the "holiday tree"?

Will the big box stores tell their workers to say "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays"?

Megyn The Outrage Princess debuted her show in October and its been a success in ratings. Her rise to the primetime spot is a longtime coming from a woman who once read the news to now being the next wave of combative conservative agitators on Loserville.

Her rise meant for That Guy Who Helped Obama Win to lose his primetime spot. A spot he held onto since he's been on the damn network in 1996. He and Greta The Ambulance Chaser were given poor timeslots for their failures. They promised their audience that Obama would be a "one term president".

That didn't happen. So Chief Roger let them know he meant business.

The Outrage Princess was pissed off over a column by a writer for Slate. Aisha Harris wrote that she had always been confused as a child because the Santa Claus in her home had brown skin like her, but the Santa in malls and on television was always white.

So Harris made the case “that America abandon Santa-as-fat-old-white-man” and adopt a penguin in his place. The woman said that Santa is "fake" and to keep it neutral let's make Santa an animal, not a "fat-old White guy" who gives stuff to non-white children.

That comment got The Outrage Princess worked up in frenzy.

The Outrage Princess decided that Harris had gone “off the rails” with her column.

“And when I saw this, I kind of laughed and thought it was ridiculous. Yet another one saying it's "racist" to have a White Santa. For all you kids watching at home, Santa just is white,” The Outrage Princess said. “But this person is just arguing that maybe we should also have a black Santa. But Santa is what he is. Just so you know we're just debating this, cause someone is writing about this, kids.”

“Just because it makes you feel uncomfortable doesn’t mean it has to change, you know?” she added. “I mean, Jesus was a white man too. He was a historical figure, that’s a verifiable fact, as is Santa — I just want the kids watching to know that.”

Jesus the Nazareth and Santa Claus are the Whitest guys you've seen.

Penguins are cute.

Remember people, if you're to believe in Christmas, Santa Claus must be an elderly White guy who travels flight on sled mounted by magical reindeer from the North Pole.

For as long as I can remember in my thirty-something life, I heard that Santa never ages.

I need to know his secret to living longer.

Jesus is a White guy with long hair who wore sandals. He teaches us Christianity. And no one could ever criticized the Nazareth. To those who believe in the almighty powerful God, its blasphemy to disrespect his son. He was the chosen one and when he returns everyone will repent for their sins.

So I guess this is what you'll be talking about around the dinner table tonight!

Americans in the service industry worked on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. Many in the fast food industry, Walmart, and Home Depot have long complained about how it's unfair they have to work on holidays during these mass sales. They've also complained about the rate of pay for these type of positions.

Those days are very important to those young workers. They want to have the opportunity to spend the holidays with their families and friends. That's perfectly fine.

But in the service industry, you do it or lose your job.

I understand that. I am required to work if they put me on the scheduled work shift.

And nowadays the service industry requires their employees to work on those special holidays.

Loserville Host Thinks Weather Girl Was Born To Tacos And Tequila!

Keep it simple, Kilmeade! A pompous jerk saying pretty ignorant things.

Keep it classy, Brian Kilmeade. That douchebag on Loserville & Friends insults another female of color because she's a Spanish speaking meteorologist.

The Raw Story reports that the chauvinist asshole made a reference to a woman's Nicaraguan heritage by telling Maria Molina that she grew up on tacos.

“So what are the tips we need to know?” Kilmeade asked Molina. “You grew up on tacos, correct?”

“No, I did not grow up on tacos!” Molina shot back. “I’m Nicaraguan. It’s not a native food.”

Tell you what Kilmeade, if you could say something intelligent, what would it be?

Nevermind, I don't like to rattle the brain of an ignorant puss bag like you!

You, Steve Doocy, Alisyn Camerota and Elisabeth Hasselbeck aren't dumb. You may pretend to be dumb (because most of your audience is likely dumb), and that's perfectly fine.

But I tell you what: If you can make the audience believe that woman of color is a taco munching border jumper, that's makes you sound just a tad bit racist, sir.

I wish that woman would smack the snot out of him. But she's got at least some dignity to just keep it cool.

Rough Ridin' On The West Side Highway!

Camera films motorcycle riders beat a man after he ran over one of their riders.

A video that surface on the internet shows a motorcycle group follow a family in a SUV.

The motorcycle group was chasing the family down the famous West Side Highway in New York City.

There were some moments where the group surrounded the vehicle. And there were some parts where the SUV ran over a motorcycle operator and thus to a chase around the West Side Highway. As the driver tried to flee, he was followed by the motorcyclists.  This led to the driver getting beaten in front of his family.

Alexian Lien and wife Rosalyn.

The motorcycle operator, Jeremiah Mieses was badly injured and will not ever walk again.

The driver Alexian Lien was severely beaten and will have to have permanent facial injuries.

The NYPD is trying to figure out who's at fault. Of course since this is on camera, it's a matter of he said or they said.

Somehow it was mentioned that two of the motorcycle operators were charged with felonious assault and unlawful restraint.

But are there charges for the driver who ran over a motorcycle operator?

This story got the news agitators talking.

Have you noticed that the folks over at Loserville, in particular Bill-O been on this "race story" fixation?

And yes even a tabloid rag that usually I rely on for some of our post is even going as far to stereotype this to a race story.

In a crime in which a person is murdered, an actual news journalist would insert the suspect's race and gender if there's no apprehension. But if the suspect was apprehended upon the crime, then they release the name and keep the race and gender out of the subject.

It only gets motivated into a race story when the political agitators see the story and propel it into the spotlight.

That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall is a notorious race baiter who would salivate over stuff like this.

Or Bill-O, he'll blame the entertainment industry or President Barack Obama for this type of incident.

Jeremiah Mieses, critically injured.

Anyway, the man who was beaten was named Alexian Lien and his wife Rosalyn were described as a "wealthy" couple by the New York Daily News.


So they have to be "wealthy" because they're Asian?

The rider was Black (Hispanic origin). So he's a member of the "wild pack of motorcyclists"?

It doesn't matter if they're wealthy or poor. They were victims and suspects.

The suspects were the ones who ran over the motorcycle rider.

The suspects were the one who hit the window of the SUV. The suspects were the ones who injured the driver. The suspects were the ones who followed a person without calling 911 and letting the police handle the matter.

Were the motorcycle riders the instigators or the driver?

And of course the racial extremist say "they would", "they could", or "I should" excuse. They run with this narrative that every person who commits a crime (and the individual is Black or Hispanic), it's another Trayvon Martin (Obama's son) excuse.

The riders slow down and corner the SUV. The driver would later run over three of them.

Again, you never know what happen when you're in a situation. Those who are lucky can escape a possible threat.

See those in law enforcement know the matter of "life and death" and "lawful and unlawful". They are public servants who employed to serve the safety of their communities.

Sometimes I hate to say this. But when I read the comments from the social media, I shake my head in disgust. I think to myself that "you can't fix stupid" and "everyone wants to be a hero!"

See the video and you make the decision for yourself.

This video is disturbing.

Also the owner of the video may claim rights to it. So it might be pulled since he's disabled all links to his video.

Ariel Castro Commits Suicide In The Iron College!

Convicted rapist killed himself in the iron college.

Breaking out of Columbus, Ohio. Overnight, the Cleveland kidnapper and rapist Ariel Castro puts the bed sheets over a rail and hung himself. This scumbag decided he didn't want to be a wife to some guy named Jim.

Castro was convicted of raping and kidnapping Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight and held the women for 10 years in his home. He was sentenced to life at the iron college.

Amanda Berry and her child managed to escape the situation and tipped the police off to the man.

Castro fathered a child with Berry.

Castro abused and raped the woman causing them to have miscarriages.

When he was arrested, he apparently left a suicide note in his home in case he was to be caught. The Cuyahoga County Jail had him on suicide watch at the time.

He was at the Orient Lockup near Columbus when the guards found him unresponsive. They rush him to the Ohio State University Hospital where the pronounced him dead,

He died at 10:00pm. Tuesday.

As he was convicted of his charges, he faced the victim Michelle Knight.

"I cried every night. I was so alone. I worried what would happen to me and the other girls every day," Knight, 32, said, as she addressed her abductor head-on during his sentencing. "I will live on. You will die a little every day."

Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight in April 2013.

He was told that he would have to forfeit his properties and lose his home. It's since been demolished and the neighbors hope Cleveland will make a memorial park.

The women's representatives haven't spoken about the issue.

But the nightmare is over for the three. Back in 2003 and 2004, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus were kidnapped and the local junk food media was covering it. Their stories were pushed aside for the more sensational stories. Natalee Holloway, the Alabama teenager who was missing in Aruba got a lot of attention.

It propelled ambulance chasers Nancy Grace, Greta Van Susteren, Geraldo Rivera and Rita Cosby into the spotlight.

Again, we here at Journal de la Reyna send our prayers to Michelle Knight, Gina DeJesus, and Amanda Berry. The young women and Amanda's young child suffered horrible fate by the hands of this monster.

This monster should have gotten the gas chamber. I guess a bed sheet is good enough for me.

Hopefully, they use his organs will be donated to the hospitals.

The Corrupt Mayors Of M.I.A.!

Michael Pizzi

Federal time out is coming for three Florida mayors. The Miami suburbs of Homestead, Miami Lakes and Sweetwater are going to have a replacement.

I am guessing they're Democrats because the Miami Herald hasn't acknowledged the political affiliations.

The FBI and Florida law officials grabbed the mayors and their lobbyist friends for corruption.

Steve Bateman, the mayor of Homestead, was arrested for allegedly receiving payments from a health care chain looking to build a clinic in the town. He joins Miami Lakes Mayor Michael Pizzi and Sweetwater Mayor Manuel Marono, who were both arrested in early August for allegedly taking part in separate kickback and bribery schemes connected with federal grants.

The Miami Herald reports that along with Bateman, the suspended mayors of Miami Lakes and Sweetwater, along with a pair of lobbyists, obtained delays of their indictments on federal kickback charges Tuesday.

Former Miami Lakes Mayor Michael Pizzi, one-time Sweetwater Mayor Manuel Maroño, and lobbyists Richard Candia and Jorge Forte will now have their arraignments on Sept. 20.

Magistrate Judge Barry Garber granted their motions to waive indictments and speedy trials.

The preliminary strategy suggests that some of the defendants might be interested in negotiating plea deals rather than face indictments and jury trials. Others might be trying to persuade the U.S. attorney’s office to dismiss their cases before presenting evidence to a grand jury.

Outside the Miami federal courthouse, Pizzi was the only defendant to speak to reporters, saying he was the “victim” of an FBI sting operation and that he only acted in the “best interest” of his city.

“I was a good mayor and a good attorney and I have God on my side,” said Pizzi, who until last week had worked as the town attorney in Medley as well. “And, I expect to be fully exonerated.... I did absolutely nothing wrong”

Manuel Maroño

All four men were arrested earlier this month on complaints charging they conspired to extort thousands of dollars in exchange for politically supporting “bogus” federal grant applications that were only meant to line their pockets. FBI undercover agents posing as crooked Chicago businessmen roped them in with promises of easy federal money if they pushed for the community grant applications.

Pizzi and Candia were charged in one case. Candia was also charged with Maroño and Forte in another case.

The two corruption cases, which started with a confidential tip to the FBI in 2011, were remarkable even by South Florida’s standards, because the crackdown snared two municipal mayors and two lobbyists on the same day. Attempts to take down other public officials in the same sting were unsuccessful because they wouldn’t bite.

Steve Bateman.

On Aug. 6, FBI agents arrested Pizzi, 51, and Maroño, 41, at their town hall offices on charges of conspiring to commit extortion in their roles as elected officials between 2011 and 2013. Pizzi also was charged with the same misconduct linked to a purported federal grant for Medley, where he was the town attorney.

Pizzi’s bond was set at $100,000; Maroño’s, at $250,000. Both were ordered by Magistrate Judge Andrea Simonton not to contact dozens of other politicians, officials or lobbyists who are potential witnesses.

The Miami skyline at sunset.

Also arrested were lobbyists Forte, 41, the former chief of staff for Maroño in Sweetwater, and Candia, 49, a former lobbyist with the Becker & Poliakoff law firm who began cooperating with the FBI after agents approached him in late June. Each lobbyist received a $100,000 bond.

Maroño is accused of working with both lobbyists to break the law. Maroño and Forte allegedly received $40,000 for their parts in the federal grant scheme in Sweetwater and an additional $20,000 for making introductions to other public officials on behalf of undercover FBI agents posing as the Chicago businessmen.

Candia allegedly received at least $5,000 in kickbacks for the Sweetwater deal. He did not get any money relating to the Medley or Miami Lakes grant deals.

The undercover agents used Candia to approach Maroño and Pizzi, pitching them on the idea of cashing in by using the fictitious Chicago grant business, Sunshine Universal, to tap into an actual government agency, AmeriCorps, which issues community grants for economic development.

Pizzi allegedly received $6,750 in cash and campaign checks for pushing the purported grant deals in Miami Lakes and Medley.

Nelly Thanked Ohio Kidnapped Victim Amanda Berry For Her Courage!

Nelly (left) brings on kidnapped victim turned hero Amanda Berry (center, left) to the stage at a concert in Cleveland, Ohio.

Wondering if Bill-O would attack a rapper performing for the Cleveland kidnapping victim?

Amanda Berry appears at a Cleveland concert and gets a heartfelt welcome from rapper Nelly.

After a horrible ordeal in which she, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight were held captive by convicted rapist and murderer Ariel Castro. Under custody, Berry bore a child from him.

Castro was sentenced to LIFE in the iron college with no chance of ever getting out.

While she didn't speak, her appearance wowed the crowd.

A hero's welcome for Amanda Berry by rapper Nelly.

The funds that Castro had earned will either go to a victim's compensation fund and the demolition of his home.

Cleveland, Ohio is the city that rocks! Today I salute Nelly for being a stand up guy. Especially giving a victim an opportunity to have the chance to live a "normal life."

Again, we here at Journal de la Reyna send our prayers to Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight. We wish them well on their long journey to recovery. They finally can close the door on this ugly chapter in their lives.

Ariel Castro can finally find some comfort in at least knowing that he'll never be alone, ever again. After all he'll share a bunk with an inmate who may not take kindly to child molesters and rapists.

Nelly appears on Universal Republic Records. He is affiliated with Derrty Records/Fo'Reel Entertainment.

Ariel Castro Is A Going To Be A Permanent Resident In The Iron College!

Head down as he prepares for life in the iron college.

Ariel Castro escapes the gas chamber. But for the man who held three women captive in their early teens, his days of freedom are over. He's going to be heading to the iron college.

According to the Ohio prosecutors and the Cuyahoga County Sheriff, he's not EVER going to see an ounce of his freedom ever again. At age 54, Castro will spend the remaining portion of his life in the iron college.

He was the man who sparked international attention after one his captives escaped from his Cleveland, Ohio home. The woman along with a her daughter that he impregnant were held hostage along with two other women.

The former bus driver kidnapped Gina DeJesus around the time, Natalee Holloway disappeared sparking a national discussion on the coverage of missing people cases.

Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight were held hostage for ten years in that man's home.

In a plea deal, Castro gave up his right to a trial and accepted the judge's sentence of life in the iron college with no chance at parole. Basically, the judge said that he will never see the light of day ever.

The women speaking through their attorney have said they're satisfied with the decision and hope to get their lives back together.

This scumbag will now be in a place where many of the lifers are parents too. Some of them are likely going to make Castro their senorita.

Immigration Reform Passed In The Senate!

Bipartisanship works.

The low approved U.S. Senate has passed the immigration reform.

A great move by the Democrats and the very few Republicans who put aside their differences for the sake of those who dream to become leaders. And of course, for the sake of their overwhelmingly White political party.

First they'll claim it's them who are credited for Civil Rights of 1965. Now it's going to be a redo of Republicans claiming credit for Immigration Reform of 2013.

Who gives a crap about the Democrat presidents John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson and Barack Obama?

I never get enough of those ridiculous Republican commentators saying that if it wasn't for them, things couldn't get done.

No, it's because of the Republicans, nothing isn't getting done.

You have many members of the Senate (i.e. Republicans like Ted Cruz (Texas), Jim Inhofe (Oklahoma), Rand Paul (Kentucky), Rob Portman (Ohio) Mike Lee (Utah), Tim Scott (R-South Carolina)  Jeff Sessions, Richard Shelby (Alabama), John Cornyn (Texas) and Mitch McConnell (Kentucky) who will rule the day they voted against immigration reform.

These Republicans will doom their party.

Enough about them. This historical bipartisan vote was 68-32 on a measure that sits atop President Barack Obama's second-term domestic agenda. But the bill's prospects are highly uncertain in the Republican-controlled House, where party leaders are jockeying for position in advance of expected action next month.

Republican co-sponsors Senators John McCain (Arizona), Marco Rubio (Florida), Jeff Flake (Arizona) and Lindsey Graham (South Carolina) were joined in voting "yes" with Lamar Alexander (Tennessee), Kelly Ayotte (New Hampshire), Jeff Chiesa (New Jersey), Susan Collins (Maine), Bob Corker (Tennessee), Orrin Hatch (Utah), Dean Heller (Nevada), John Hoeven (North Dakota), Mark Kirk (Illinois), and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska).

Spectators in galleries that overlook the Senate floor watched expectantly as senators voted one by one from their desks. Some onlookers erupted in chants of "Yes, we can" after Vice President Joe Biden announced the vote result.

There is a high influx of African and Asian immigrants.

After three weeks of debate, there was no doubt about the outcome. Fourteen Republicans joined all 52 Democrats and two independents to support the bill.

In a written statement, Obama coupled praise for the Senate's action with a plea for resolve by supporters as the House works on the issue. "Now is the time when opponents will try their hardest to pull this bipartisan effort apart so they can stop commonsense reform from becoming a reality. We cannot let that happen," said the president, who was traveling in Africa.

In the final hours of debate, members of the so-called Gang of 8, the group that drafted the measure, frequently spoke in personal terms while extolling the bill's virtues, rebutting its critics - and appealing to the House members who turn comes next.

A great message.

"Do the right thing for America and for your party," said Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., who said his mother emigrated to the United States from Cuba. "Find common ground. Lean away from the extremes. Opt for reason and govern with us."

Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake said those seeking legal status after living in the United States illegally must "pass a background check, make good on any tax liability and pay a fee and a fine." There are other requirements before citizenship can be obtained, he noted.

He, too, spoke from personal experience, recalling time he spent as a youth working alongside family members and "undocumented migrant labor, largely from Mexico, who worked harder than we did under conditions much more difficult than we endured."

A piece of America includes immigrants.

The legislation's chief provisions includes numerous steps to prevent future illegal immigration - some added in a late compromise that swelled Republican support for the bill - and to check on the legal status of job applicants already living in the United States. At the same time, it offers a 13-year path to citizenship to as many as 11 million immigrants now living in the country unlawfully.

Under the deal brokered last week by Republican Sens. John Hoeven of North Dakota and Bob Corker of Tennessee and the Gang of 8, the measure requires 20,000 new Border Patrol agents, the completion of 700 miles of fencing and deployment of an array of high-tech devices along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Those living in the country illegally could gain legal status while the border security plan was being implemented, but would not be granted permanent resident green cards or citizenship.

A plan requiring businesses to check on the legal status of prospective employees would be phased in over four years.

Senators Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) (center), Mike Lee (R-Utah) (left) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) couldn't muster enough members to filibuster the immigration reform bill.

Other provisions would expand the number of visas available for highly skilled workers relied upon by the technology industry. A separate program would be established for lower-skilled workers, and farm workers would be admitted under a temporary program. In addition, the system of legal immigration that has been in effect for decades would be changed, making family ties less of a factor and elevating the importance of education, job skills and relative youth.

With the details of the Senate bill well-known, House Speaker John Boehner said at a news conference the separate legislation the House considers will have majority support among Republicans. He also said he hopes the bill will be bipartisan, and he encouraged a group of four Democrats and three Republicans trying to forge a compromise to continue their efforts.

He offered no details on how a House bill could be both bipartisan and supported by more than half of his own rank and file, given that most of the bills that have moved through the House Judiciary Committee recently did so on party line votes over the protests of Democrats. None envisions legal status for immigrants now in the country illegally.

Boehner declined to say if there were circumstances under which he could support a pathway to citizenship, but he made clear that securing the border was a priority.

"People have to have confidence that the border is secure before anything else is really going to work. Otherwise, we repeat the mistakes of 1986," he said, referring to the last time Congress overhauled the immigration system.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, the House Democratic leader, also said he favors a bipartisan approach. At the same time, she noted that Democratic principles for immigration include "secure our borders, protect our workers, unite families, a path to legalization and now citizenship for those" without legal status.

Hopeful that the House Republicans get things done. But I doubt it. House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio isn't likely going to do any favors for the president or his Republican majority.

They've threaten to usurp him if he compromises with the Democrats.

The Associated Press and Huffington Post contributes to a portion of this article.

Here's a few assholes who continues to slide the Republican Party into the abyss of ignorance.



______________

The Heritage Foundation Advocates White Nationalism!

Former South Carolina Republican senator Jim DeMint leads the conservative organization. The Heritage Foundation is quite controversial. I am wondering how far the conservatives will go before they destroy the Republican Party.

What pisses me off more than anything, is the fact that professional bigots in academia want to compare Black and Hispanics as "inferior"subjects. What drives the conservative/white supremacist bubble is the fact they can't stomach a browner nation.

They don't like well-educated figures such as President Barack Obama. So in order to take away the successes of Black and Hispanic, these individuals in the white supremacist bubble want to prove how intelligent they are and the world around them are a bunch of idiots.

Only in the professional bigot's mind, intelligence is apparently skin deep. The agitators of the conservative media are trying to encourage Republicans to derail immigration reform.

After getting their butts kicked in the last election, the Republican Party sought for improvements.

Former senator Jim DeMint runs The Heritage Foundation. It's under fire for its commentators ill advised writings calling minorities (and immigrants) inferior.

The Republicans are trying to "reach out" to young, Asian, Black, Hispanic and college professionals.

So far, they're not reaching the "promise land" as they've claimed. The Republican Party outreach to minorities is really screwed up.

So far, they've allowed Senators Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky, Minority Leader), Jim Inhofe (R-Oklahoma), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Representatives Steve Stockman (R-Texas), Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin), Jason Chaffez (R-Utah), Trent Franks (R-Arizona), Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) and Peter King (R-New York) make the Republican Party appear to be more intrusive.

Conservative agitators on talk radio, the blogs and the comment sections aren't helpful either. They've gathered through the talking points from Loserville and the white extremist asshole blogs.

This organization explained today will explain why the Republican Party is destined for political failure.

The Heritage Foundation is an American conservative think tank based in Washington, D.C. Heritage's stated mission is to "formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense."

The foundation took a leading role in the conservative movement during the presidency of Ronald Reagan, whose policies drew significantly from Heritage's policy study Mandate for Leadership. Heritage has since continued to have a significant influence in U.S. public policy making, and is considered to be one of the most influential conservative research (an extremist organization) in the United States.

Jason Richwine, a Harvard educated PhD scholar along with Robert Rector wrote an offensive piece claiming immigrants (i.e. Mexican, the American Hispanic and Black people).

In this offensive piece Richwine claims that unlawful immigrant households have more wage earners per household: 1.6 compared to 1.2 among non-immigrant households. However, the average earnings per worker are dramatically lower in unlawful immigrant households: $24,791 per worker compared to $43,413 in non-immigrant households. Contrary to conventional wisdom, non-elderly adult unlawful immigrants are not more likely to work than are similar non-immigrants.

The heads of unlawful immigrant households are younger, with a median age of 34 compared to 50 among non-immigrant householders. Partly because they are younger, unlawful immigrant households have more children, with an average of 1.6 children per household compared to 0.6 among non-immigrant households. The higher number of children tends to raise governmental costs among unlawful immigrant households.

Jason Richwine, the professional bigot who wrote that he's "smarter" than the average Mexican or NIGGER!

(Both lawful and unlawful children in unlawful immigrant households are eligible for public education, and the large number of children who were born in the U.S. are also eligible for means-tested welfare benefits such as food stamps, Medicaid, and Children’s Health Insurance Program benefits.)

By contrast, there are very few elderly persons in unlawful immigrant households. Only 1.1 percent of persons in those households are over 65 years of age compared to 13.7 percent of persons in non-immigrant households. The absence of elderly persons in unlawful immigrant households significantly reduces current government costs; however, if unlawful immigrants remain in the U.S. permanently, the number who are elderly will obviously increase significantly.

Unlawful immigrant households are far more likely to be poor. Over one-third of unlawful immigrant households have incomes below the federal poverty level compared to 18.8 percent of lawful immigrant households and 13.6 percent of non-immigrant households.

The low wage level of unlawful immigrant workers is a direct result of their low education levels. [Chart shows that] half of unlawful immigrant households are headed by persons without a high school degree; more than 75 percent are headed by individuals with a high school degree or less. Only 10 percent of unlawful immigrant households are headed by college graduates. By contrast, among non-immigrant households, 9.6 percent are headed by persons without a high school degree, around 40 percent are headed by persons with a high school degree or less, and nearly one-third are headed by college graduates.

The current unlawful immigrant population thus contains a disproportionate share of poorly educated individuals. These individuals will tend to have low wages and pay comparatively little in taxes.

In his mind, he believes that immigration reform is a horrible mistake.

After the backlash, Jason Richwine resigned from the Heritage Foundation. Richwine is the author of a the Heritage report, "The Fiscal Cost of Unlawful Immigrants and Amnesty to the U.S. Taxpayer." In 2009, Richwine earned his doctorate from Harvard University, and his dissertation was titled "IQ and Immigration Policy", which argued that Hispanic immigrants have lower IQ than white native immigrants.

King Hippo came to the defense of this guy.....
