They Heard A Thud!

Interstate 75 at Hopple Street is shut down for an investigation. An overpass collapsed killing a construction worker and seriously injuring a truck driver. The talk of infrastructure will be part of the president's speech tonight. 

A construction worker was killed and a truck driver was injured. The bridge that was being demolished over Interstate 75 in Cincinnati, Ohio collapsed. The Ohio Department of Transportation and Cincinnati police are investigating the incident.

About 350.000 people travel Interstate 75 through the Cincinnati area. The area is commonly congested through the northbound. The most common areas for delays on Interstate 75 is the area that surrounds Ohio State Route 126 (Ronald Reagan Highway), the Mitchell Avenue exit, the 12th Street Exit in Covington, Kentucky (the Cut in the Hill), and the Interstate 275 section in Erlanger, Kentucky near the Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport.

The Cincinnati area is extremely congested. They are working on fixing this.

The Mill Creek Expressway is the official segment of the highway from the Ohio section of the Interstate 275 beltway to Ohio River.

The incident happened in an area that I am commonly familiar with. It's the Hopple Street/Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive exit. That exit is being constructed to improve the flow through the western tier and the University of Cincinnati.

The Ohio Department of Transportation is working on fixing Interstate 74 and Interstate 75 through the midtown. The elimination of left hand exits is underway. The highway is removing bridges and replacing ramps. They are extending the eight lane highway to ten lanes from the Ohio State Route 562 (Norwood Lateral) to Interstate 71.

This issue will be brought up in the president's State of The Union address. This is one of the very things that President Barack Obama's mentioned. He said that Congress has failed in passing an infrastructure bill. He's lost control of Congress to the Republicans. He signaled that he's going on the offensive. He's tired of trying to compromise with the Republicans. The insurgency is too extreme.

He will use his lame duck years battling the Republicans and force them towards concessions.

The president was in Cincinnati a few years back talking about the need to fix bridges. He mentioned the Brent Spence Bridge as one of the nation's most dangerous bridges. He said that bridge pulls nearly a million travelers and the day will come when the structurally ineffective Brent Spence Bridge could collapse.

Interstate 71 and 75 crosses that bridge. Ohio and Kentucky are trying to replace the bridge but it could cost billions of dollars. So the thought of establishing a toll is coming up in the conversation.

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

Biden's Home Got Hit By A Drive-By!

Shots were fired at Vice President Joe Biden's residential home in Delaware. The Vice President wasn't at home and the Secret Service and Delaware State Police are conducting an investigation into this.

Vice President Joe Biden and his wife Dr. Jill Biden weren't at home. But in suburban Wilmington, Delaware, a gun shot hit the private home of the Vice President and the U.S. Secret Service is investigating the incident.

Biden and President Barack Obama were notified of the incident.

Biden brushed it off. He spoke at a woman's forum for the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. service breakfast.

The incident comes into the national spotlight about the ineptness of some in the Secret Service.

Since the Colombia incident, the Secret Service has been through a major overhaul. The president fired the head and the Homeland Security will chop off the rest of the body. Some people were forced to resign.

It's a dangerous job to be a bodyguard for the President of the United States.

President Barack Obama, House Weeper John Boehner and Biden have all been the subject of death threats and penetration of security. Boehner had his former bartender threaten him.

Last year alone, Obama got over 560 death threats. Not all of them death threats made the news.

It's a felony to threaten federal workers (i.e, The President, Vice President, House Speaker, and their families). You can get up to ten years of federal time out if found guilty. You can not get parole on federal time out. It's served in full.

The president will deliver the State of The Union Address on Tuesday. The Republican response, the insurgent response and the other insurgent response will occur after this.

Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) will be the Republican response.

Boehner: F**k Louie Gohmert And His Pea-Brain Mutiny!

Boehner may strip leadership roles from some of the insurgents who opposed him.

The inept Republicans take control of Congress and it was a bit of drama on the floor today. The weeper of the House of Representatives John Boehner (R-OH) won a third term. But this comes with a price. Seriously he has to control members of his own party.

These members are the insurgency. And a handful of them went on to cast doubt on him.

25 Insurgent representatives led by Ted Yoho (R-FL) and Louie Gohmert (R-TX) voted against having Boehner as their House Speaker.

Boehner had to fend off a defection from within his own party that was the biggest such revolt in more than 150 years.

List of sausage trying to shove itself into the grinder.

Ted Yoho (R-Fla.)

The Hill reports that Rep. Daniel Webster (R-Fla.), whose nomination for Speaker became public just minutes before the vote, attracted the most votes at 12.

Meanwhile, the other two long-shot candidates, Reps. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) only received three and two votes each.

Additionally, freshman Rep. Brian Babin (R-Texas) voted "present" rather than voting for anyone. And two Republican lawmakers voted for people who aren't even members of the House: Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Ala.) for Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), and Rep. Curt Clawson (R-Fla.) for Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.).

Many of the votes for GOP candidates apart from Boehner drew murmurs and sometimes even outright laughter in the House chamber. The votes for Paul and Sessions drew the most derision from fellow lawmakers.

The insurgency will fight again!

Most of the lawmakers who voted against Boehner are hard-line conservatives who particularly opposed the GOP leadership's handling of the government-wide spending bill last month. Many conservatives had urged leadership to defund President Obama's executive action to shield illegal immigrants from deportation. But the "cromnibus" spending package didn't include such a provision.

Many lawmakers were absent from the vote due to former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo's (D) funeral in New York and snow in Washington, D.C. Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), a favorite for Speaker among some Tea Party supporters, didn't make it in time due to the weather but said he would have voted for Boehner.

On the Democratic side, only four lawmakers voted for candidates aside from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). Rep. Jim Cooper (D-Tenn.) voted for former Secretary of State Colin Powell, while Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) voted for civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.). And Rep. Gwen Graham (D-Fla.), who stated she wouldn't support Pelosi on the campaign trail, voted for Cooper.

Boehner is not going to strip them of their committee chairs yet. But beware, this symbolic opposition may bite them in the ass. The Insurgency wants to oppose President Barack Obama.

I guess the Insurgency wants to oppose the weeper and turtle!

This is the beginning of a long two years for Obama. With the Republicans in charge, what kind of stupidity will it bring?

Yearly Wrap Up!

A new year.

Meh, I would say this has been one year to look upon as decent at best. I only work one job right now. Back in October, I was let go from a high paying job and now working at the job I come to respect somewhat. Of course, I haven't left my duties as a contributor. I want to keep the readers and our supporters interested in our blog.

We here at Journal de la Reyna covered a lot and hopefully will aid our readers into 2015 with a better outlook ahead.

Overall I reflect on the stories.

Republicans take control of Congress.

Joni Ernst became the winner of the year. This controversial politico once did hog castration. She won the seat by retiring Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA). She was aided by the insurgency and radio host Laura Ingraham. Some claim that she'll be more a problem than Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX).

Scott Brown is thought to be a presidential contender in 2016. But this loss in the New Hampshire senate race became a major setback may eventually wipe him off the political watchlist.

Barack Obama despite a setback in his agenda, he is looking for a fight. He hopes the public will finally acknowledge his policies are working.

Mitch McConnell is the most dirtiest politician to ever be in Washington. Beat the Democrat who claimed that she didn't even vote for Obama. Alison Lundergen Grimes was one of McConnell's toughest opponents. Why the hell she got beaten so badly? First Grimes denounce the president. That got her funds pulled. Then Mitch seized on her comments about how coal workers are poor and clueless. She was inconsistent on issues. Kentucky was always a Republican hold. No question. They don't like Mitch, but they'll have him over a Democrat who can't figure where they stand. Even Bill Clinton, a favorite among Kentuckians couldn't save this train wreck. That might spell trouble for Hillary Clinton if she was to wade her way into the Deep South. Big problem. Mitch got aided by the establishment and insurgency. Even though that former Alaskan governor hates his guts, she rather have McConnell than Harry Reid as Majority Leader.

Controversial comic featuring John Crawford, Eric Garner, Michael Brown and Tamir Rice.

Mary Landrieu been a senator for three terms. Her term ended and left the Democrats without a senator in the Deep South. Running away from the president cost her dearly. Or it could have been the white resentment stroked by the insurgency. The insurgency didn't like how she was telling the junk food media that her constituents had issues with the first black president. Representatives Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Tom Cotton (R-AR) will leave the House for the U.S. Senate. Cotton beat Mark Pryor in Arkansas.

Already the Republicans got into some deep shit. New York Republican Michael Grimm was found guilty in a corruption charge and Louisiana Republican Steve Scalise admits that he went to conference being held by White extremists.

Ray Rice knocking his wife out was the talk of the sports world. In Atlantic City, Rice and then his fiance got into a heated fight and cameras focus on him knocking her out. Rice admitted he told Roger Goodell what happened. Rice was suspended indefinitely. He is fighting to keep his job.

Michael Sam the first openly gay football star who got sacked before even stepping on the field. The former University of Missouri football player was a top of his game. He was voted with high marks among the scouts and fans. He took a nosedive after making a public admission. He came out to ESPN and the media went totally bananas. They were wondering if there's a possibility of gay football star could be ever possible.

Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA)

Adrian Peterson was caught in a scandal too. He was suspended after it was revealed that he beat his son with a switch. A switch is a piece of a tree limb that people use to spank their child. Peterson was benched for most of the season.  Peterson had pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor charge of recklessly assaulting his four-year-old son. He will avoid a jail sentence after reaching a plea agreement with a court in Texas. He fought back in court and is granted free agent status.

Sam with no team or no contract is now on the media circuit complaining about how the NFL creates this standard to allow wife beaters, child beaters play but not gay men.

Jonathon Dwyer was booked into jail on one count of aggravated assault causing a fracture, one count of aggravated assault involving a minor, two counts of criminal damage, one count of preventing the use of a phone in an emergency, and assault. He was freed the next morning on a $25,000 cash bond and ordered to wear an electronic monitoring device.

Michael Brown, John Crawford, Renisha McBride, Tamir Rice, Darrien Hunt, Eric Garner paid the price for being unarmed Black citizens being murdered by the law or a vigilante.

Okay, we're seen the convictions of two. The shooter of Jordan Davis, Michael Dunn get life in the iron college. Then Theodore Wafer was given three nickels in the iron college for the death of Renisha McBride.

Donald Sterling, Bill Cosby, Rickey Wagoner, Sean Hannity, Matt Drudge, Suge Knight, Cliven Bundy, Charles C. Johnson, and Sony were some of the most controversial figures of the year.

Donald Sterling

Okay, I know that America's most hate individual is probably Donald Sterling. But what about Ray Rice, Darren Wilson, Bill Cosby or Suge Knight?

You guest it. They're on the list of this year's hot mess.

The former owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, Donald Sterling was caught on tape saying some nasty and outright racist things about Blacks attending his games. You got to admit that he was set up by a gold digger. That hot mess was forced out of the NBA, he was forced to sell the Clippers and he was banned for life after this fiasco. This also brought shame to the former owner of the Atlanta Hawks. He wrote an email to the staff saying some pretty bad things about Blacks too.

Them skeletons came out the closet. Bill Cosby, America's favorite father figure and perennial complainer of the Black community is seeing his legacy fall upon him. He's been accused raping numerous women. These women claimed that Cosby mentored them through their acting careers.

Cliven Bundy is the Nevada rancher who caused such an uproar. The rancher squared off with the federal government after he was warned to pay his dues. He got major airtime on Fox News and other right wing outlets after this uproar. In a interview with NPR and later the Associated Press, Bundy would make racially charged statements about Black people.

Suge Knight may see bars again. The former CEO of Death Row Records was injured at a Chris Brown party. He was shot by an assailant and was treated for his injuries. Just a few months later, he and comedian Katt Williams got caught up attacking a woman. Now he could be spending the rest of his life in the iron college after violating his parole. Is he going to blame Dr. Dre for his mishaps again. After all, his old foe is now a billionaire after selling his BEATS audio to Apple.

Jay-Z and Beyonce

Rickey Wagoner is a Dayton bus driver who created this story about three Black men attacking him because he believed they were looking for a polar bear.

The Racist Right obsesses over Michael Brown and crime through the racial lens. Colin Flaherty, Charles C. Johnson and Jim Hoft were spreading around that fake picture of former Ferguson officer Darren Wilson with a busted eye socket. It turns out that the person was a stuntman.

Colin Flaherty is a certified nutjob. He and some of those on the racist right have concocted a story about packs of Black teens and the such. He wrote a book called White Girl Bleeds Alot and it focuses criticism of the media not focusing on Black on White crime. Instead of just focusing on all factions that lead to crime, it concludes with baseless condescending rhetoric.

Sean Hannity is ranked the worst cable news host ever. He is a perennial name dropper. He can't go a day without mentioning President Barack Obama in a sentence. He is so annoying even fellow colleagues have spoke about it behind closed doors.

Matt Drudge is the Craigslist of news agitators. Still around and still promoting those racial stories. Like Hannity, Drudge is a notorious race baiter and name dropper. On the news agitator's page he'll put some not so nice pictures of the president on the top lines. Then the anonymous trolls click on the stories and head straight down to the comment section. They post racially insensitive nonsense on the web and its became a huge concern for websites. They decided to "regulate" civility on comment sections.

Sony close the year in the red. Literally, Sony pulls the plug on the Seth Rogen movie The Interview. It mocks the North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. It caused such an uproar because it was a hacking incident that occurred and it leaked out some embarrassing emails from some of the Sony executives. They openly mocked Black actors and President Barack Obama. They took shots at Angelina Jolie-Pitt, an activist and major celebrity among the junk food media elites.

Beau Bergdahl the U.S. solider who was held captive for nearly five years comes back to the United States amid heavy criticism from the racist right.

Legendary comedian Robin Williams died.

Also there were mentions of Jay-Z. He was called a "crack dealer", smacked by Solange Knowles, sold his share in the Brooklyn Nets and also met Prince William.

Robin Williams tragic death shocked the nation. I was surprised and sadden by his death. The world lost one the best gifts ever. He had memorable roles such as a Theodore Roosevelt in the Night at The Museum. Also he is best known for being the Genie in Aladdin, Mork in Mork & Mindy, and the Crazy Ones.

Lil' Wayne and 50 Cent were in the news. The Unit reunited for an album. Wayne is talking about leaving Cash Money and Young Money. Wiz Khalifa splits from Amber Rose. Chris Rock splits from Malaak Compton. Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon called it quits. Wow.

So many things happened while blogging, I couldn't fit it all in. I'll do my best next time.

Wish all a safe New Year. We move forward.

Mary Landrieu Finally Got Fired Out The Cannon!

One of the last remaining Democratic senators from the Deep South goes down.

Florida doesn't count. That is the only state in the south where a Democrat still has a seat. Since Florida is a melting pot of culture, its still a heavily favored swing state.

The other states, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas are solid Republican.

Louisiana's long term Democratic senator Mary Landrieu goes down in the runoff. She along with other Democrats ran away from President Barack Obama. They paid the price. On top of that, the establishment's choice Congressman Bill Cassidy (R-LA) will be sworn in January.

Not even a high turnout of Black and Hispanic votes couldn't surmount to the White resentment.

Senate-elect. Republican Louisiana Representative Bill Cassidy won.

Even when she admitted the cold hard facts that the southern White folks will never support the president (because of his race).

Republicans pounced on that along with the "I didn't vote for Obama" comment.

Landrieu was the last remaining Democrat of the Deep South.

The Republican in the Senate will have 54 to 44 majority with two independents. The Republicans will have 248 members with 1 territory delegate to the 187 Democrats with 4 territory delegates with one independent territory delegate siding with the minority party.

Even in the U.S. Territory of American Samoa, there will be a Republican lawmaker.

Black Republican Will Hurd Joins The Washington, DC Circus!

Represntative-elect Will Hurd (R-TX) will join two other Black Republicans in the 114th Congress. This is a huge movement for the Republicans. They finally have at least three members. Representative-elect Mia Love (R-UT) won her bid. U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) won reelection to fulfill a term.

Looks like I was wrong. Another black Republican will join Mia love and Tim Scott in the 114th session of Congress. Texas just elected Will Hurd, a Black Republican to Congress.

Hurd won after beating a freshman Democrat in the 23rd congressional district in last month slaughter.

This was the biggest victory for Republicans. They have a majority almost similar to the 80th Congress. That was the congress that was fully controlled by Republicans during Harry Truman's administration.

This may be a first for the Republican Party.

The Republicans elected two black members to the House of Representatives and one black member to the United States Senate.

This may give the Republicans some bragging rights, however by the end of the day, they still have a long way to go before they can obtain a healthy black turnout.

The Black community looks at Republicans, the insurgency and conservatives are racist, fear driven, bigots!

One new shiny toy doesn't change the fact Republicans still resent the Black community. They can't figure out where they'll go now that they have control of Congress. They won by bitching about the president. Now they have to actually find ways to keep their majority when the president now has the talking points.

There's four Black Democrats from Texas.

Representatives Al Green (D-TX), Marc Veasey (D-TX), Shelia Jackson Lee (D-TX) and Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX) are the only Black congressional members from Texas.

And if they're lucky, they may wrangle more than 20% votes.

In a party of 80% WHITE, three Black insurgents join the party of rigid, old, too extreme, backwards thinking, ignorant, and just plain stupid.

A little about Will Hurd. He is a graduate of John Marshall High School in the San Antonio suburb of Leon Valley, Texas.

After high school Hurd attended Texas A&M and served as the Student Body President in 1999 at the time of Aggie Bonfire collapse.

He graduated from A&M in 2000 with a degree in computer science, a minor in international relations.

Hurd worked for the Central Intelligence Agency for nine years, stationed in Washington, D.C., including a tour of duty as an operations officer in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India.

He returned to Texas after his CIA service and worked for Crumpton Group, strategic advisory firm, as a partner and a senior adviser with the cybersecurity firm FusionX.

But I guess this is the price to get things done. Elect a bunch of radicals to Congress. Hopefully, they will work with the president to get things done.

The Democratic Party has nominated and elected twice Barack Obama as their leader. He is the current President of the United States. He is the first black president. The Democrats while licking their wounds from the slaughter can rest easy. They still have a strong (but yet skeptical) support of Black and Hispanic voters. They'll support cautiously Democrats now.

The Democrats have the honor of being the first political party to elect a Black person to the White House. That pretty much trumps everything a Republican tells you about the party supporting Blacks.

Wake The F**k Up, People! Ted Cruz And Rand Paul Are Worthless Politicians!

Stallmigos: Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rand Paul (R-KY).

I am getting tired of people like Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and other unaccomplished lawmakers making appearances on GOP Sundays bitching and whining about President Barack Obama.

The president has given the Congress time to pass immigration reform. Unfortunately the Senate bill is dead and the House isn't taking up the issue. The president decided to go forth with executive action to curb some of the deportations of undocumented workers.

This has gotten the racist right pissed off. The Republicans are scrambling for ways to block the president. The president gave a stern response. Pass a bipartisan bill and I'll sign it.

That fell on deaf ears. So on GOP Sundays, Republicans got an opportunity to respond back.

Send Cruz and Paul to the television and radio for another round of name calling and idle threats.

The Stallmigos are thinking about shutting down the government again!

These two insurgent politicians have no legislative accomplishments but yet appeared on television and radio over 100 times. It's really starting to bug me that they book these lawmakers on and they offer nothing but conflict whenever they are given airtime.

I think that these two in particular are thinking about running for president.

Lord knows that if the country could survive a presidency from these two jackasses.

I would hate to see how the media would treat them. After all, the media has given them the opportunity to rant and rave about the president being an emperor and shredding the Constitution.

Paul came to office in 2010. He and Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY, Majority Leader designate) have a somewhat testy friendship.

Cruz came into office in 2012. He got the ground running after being sworn in. He's been a thorn in the ass of both the president and the Republicans. He was responsible for the government shutdown of 2013. He makes no bones about being idolized like Jesse Helms.

Now that Representative Tom Cotton (R-AR), Representative Cory Gardner (R-CO), Joni Ernst, and Thom Tillis are jumping into the party, one could hope that the government will eventually work with the president.

President Barack Obama has ignored Cruz and Paul. The president thinks that some of the Republicans are getting tired of Paul and Cruz hogging up the spotlight.

Do you believe they are running for president? And if so, would you support these two despite them having no legislative accomplishments since being elected?

Sweet Death!

Chocolate will increase.

The average king size candy bar is going to increase this year. The price of chocolate will skyrocket because there's a shortage. A huge shortage of chocolate.

I seen a king size candy bar priced at $1.99. Only five years ago, the average price for a candy bar was $1.29.

American chocolate maker Mars, Incorporated announced that it's going to be a rough year for the supply.

CBS News reports that the cost of ingredients in chocolate bars is rising, and the nation's biggest candy makers have already warned of price hikes next year. And it's not just costs that are pushing up prices. A growing sweet tooth around the world means more demand for chocolate.

The chocolate industry, a steadily growing, $50 billion-a-year worldwide business centered on the sale and consumption of chocolate, is prevalent throughout most of the world. Europe accounts for 45% of the world's chocolate revenue.

Big Chocolate is the grouping of major international chocolate companies in Europe and the U.S.

The U.S. companies, such as Mars and Hershey’s alone, generate $13 billion a year in chocolate sales and account for two-thirds of U.S. production.

Despite the expanding reach of the chocolate industry internationally, cocoa farmers and laborers in the Ivory Coast are unaware of the uses of the beans. The high cost of chocolate in the Ivory Coast also means that it is inaccessible to the majority of the population, who are unaware of what it tastes like.

The biggest days to sell chocolate is Valentine's Day, Easter, and Halloween.

The most popular chocolate products, Kit Kat, NesQuik Chocolate Milk, Reese's, Oreo cookies and Pillsbury cookies.

Obama: F**k It, I'm Gonna Get Things Done Despite The Republicans B*tching!

President Barack Obama is going to act on immigration reform.

Republicans are livid over the president's attempts to use executive order to get immigration reform moving.

President Barack Obama had enough. His party was defeated by the Republicans in the Midterms and they tried everything to appeal to their base. Their base sat it out because of things that weren't covered.

The improving job market. The lower prices of fuel and oil. The healthcare law is improving. Things are better than they were when he got into office in 2009.

But to the Republicans and their racist right allies, ISIS is coming to America. The border at Mexico is open and illegal immigrants are pouring into the country. Obamacare (as the junk food media and Republicans call it) is an epic disaster. Gay marriage is tearing apart families. There's no jobs and the unemployment numbers are bogus. The president is using his executive orders like a dictator. The media is liberal. And so on and so on.....

This stuff helped the Republicans win control of Congress and hold on to state governorships despite their unpopularity.

Now the president is warning Republicans that he's going ahead after waiting too long on passing immigration reform. The Senate had passed immigration reform, but the House killed the bill.

Obama's most anticipated steps is executive action on immigration, which could provide deportation relief to millions of undocumented immigrants.

Republican leaders in Washington were quick to rebuke the president's actions, which they argued could jeopardize any collaboration with the White House once the new Congress takes over in January.

"I've been very disturbed about the way the president has proceeded in the wake of the election, whether it was his intervention on net neutrality, his apparent decision to move ahead on immigration with executive orders, the rather ridiculous agreement with the Chinese," soon-to-be Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Thursday.

"I had maybe naively hoped the president would look at the results of the election and decide to come to the political center and do some business with us," McConnell continued. "I still hope he does at some point, but the early signs are not good."

The voters told you to stop. That's why we won! - Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Majority Leader designate.

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) also condemned the president's assertiveness, pledging to fight him "tooth and nail" on immigration and even refusing to take the threat of a government shutdown off the table.

"This is the wrong way to govern," Boehner told reporters Thursday. "If he wants to go off on his own, there are things he's just not going to get."

The Huffington Post and most in the junk food media believe that the Republicans and President Barack Obama are going to have a contiguous fight over issues. I'm already dubbing this the party that plans on IMPEACHING OBAMA over everything.

The do-nothing Congress did pass in the House that stupid Keystone XL pipeline bill. Despite the cost of oil being extremely low this season, Congressman Bill Cassidy (R-LA) is hoping that this bill getting passed will help him knock Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) out of Washington.

The Keystone XL pipeline is based in Canada. Once built, it will transport tar sand oil across the Yukon to the Gulf of Mexico. Then of course, it will be shipped overseas.

Here's The Replacement!

The newest scorn for Republicans. The Brooklyn federal district attorney will be nominated for U.S. Attorney by President Barack Obama. The nomination of Loretta Lynch will be a first for African American women.

Might as well get it confirmed before the insurgents join the new Republican majority.

President Barack Obama has announced the new pick for Attorney General. She's going to be the newest conservative outrage. She's a Black woman. I can hear the conservative agitators going on about this. After all, they couldn't stand Eric Holder, the current Attorney General.

Holder is the first African American to be currently holding the post of U.S. Attorney General.

Holder was the scorn of the insurgency and Republican establishment. Holder never hid his feelings towards race, the Republicans and criminals. The Republicans held Holder in contempt of Congress back in 2012 over the handling of Operation: Fast & Furious. That ongoing issue was driven by Darrell Issa, Republican representative from California.

Loretta Lynch is expected to be nominated for the position of Attorney General making her the second African-American (and the first African-American woman) to hold that position.

The president and Attorney General Eric Holder have a contentious relationship with Republicans.

CNN reports Lynch is a popular prosecutor who is in her second stint as US Attorney in New York's eastern district, appointed by President Obama in 2010 and also serving in the same post from 1999-2001 under President Bill Clinton.

White House principal deputy press secretary Eric Schultz told CNN in a statement "We don't have any personnel updates for you, and I'm certainly not going to speculate on any decisions before the President announces them."

U.S. Officials says the President's decision is not official until there is a formal announcement from the White House.

Lynch would be the second woman to serve as Attorney General and second African American to hold the post. Lynch served on the trial team that prosecuted and won convictions against New York City police officers for violating the civil rights of Abner Louima, a Haitian immigrant who police sodomized.

That experience could help at the helm at the Justice Department, which is overseeing high-profile civil rights probes including that into the Ferguson, Mo., police shooting of Michael Brown.

Lynch has quietly built a solid reputation in New York, where Preet Bharara, the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan, garners magazine covers and regular media attention for Wall Street prosecutions.

Her 2010 nomination won Senate approval on a voice vote, meaning Republicans didn't view her as controversial. In recent months, however, she has led the prosecution of Rep. Michael Grimm, a Republican congressman from Staten Island, for alleged tax fraud. Grimm won reelection this week despite being under indictment, and has called the case against him politically motivated. Current Attorney General Eric Holder announced his plans in Septenber to step down.

Who Turned Out?

The conservative publication went through its gloating.

As the president and the Democratic Party sort through their failures, Republicans are celebrating the largest turnout to ever happen. They managed not only to retake the U.S. Senate but gained extra seats in the U.S. House. This gives them largest majority since the days of Truman.

They are hoping that they can turn out the WHITE, CONSERVATIVE, MALE and OVER 65 YEAR OLD crowd again in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election.

The conservative agitators are gloating and running around with their "WE WON" nonsense.

The racist right rag The New York Post saved the best for the president.

Again, elections have consequences. The Democratic candidates could muster a stronger message.

The Republicans have a big microphone. The junk food media (i.e. Laura Ingraham, that annoying ass conservative agitator, The New York Post, The Wall Street Journal, Sinclair Broadcasting, and his network Loserville) were instrumental to getting that BASE out.

I had to tune out liberal agitator Stephanie Miller. She and her crew were trying to make the best of that disastrous night by poking fun at Joni Ernst, the U.S. Senator elect from Iowa. The liberal agitator was calling her a "clown" and mocking her for winning.

I said that Ernst is going to extremely controversial. Nothing else. I won't resort to saying anything other than she's an insurgent backed candidate who won. We'll see if she'll work to help Iowa or show off on friendly networks such as Loserville.

Insurgent is another word for TEA PARTY. The movement purged the moderate and more mainstream Republicans from power. That's why it's called an insurgency.

Two Black Republicans Won!

Republican candidate for Utah's Fourth Congressional District Mia Love will join the circus. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) won a full term. Both won their elections easily.

Of course, Tim Scott, won a full term as the U.S. Senator from South Carolina. But here comes Utah's Congressional Fourth District victor Mia Love. The candidate won her bid for the U.S. House.

This is a first for the mostly WHITE Republican Party. They have two Black elected U.S. lawmakers.

Both were insurgent candidates.

Scott, the first Black senator since Reconstruction won easily against the Democratic challenger. He and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) both continue their reign as U.S. Senators. He along with Cory Booker will be the only two Black U.S. Senators currently serving.

Mia Love, the former mayor of Saratoga Springs, She became the first Black lawmaker from Utah to win after a defeat. The first time she was defeated by Democratic House representative Jim Matherson in a nail biter race in 2012. Now that Matherson retired from Congress, Utah's only Democratic held seat finally flipped to the Black Republican. The seat was heavily REPUBLICAN.

Matherson was the most vulnerable Democrat ever to hold a seat. He couldn't take it no more. He retired. Cook political analysis had Utah Fourth Congressional District at +15 REPUBLICAN. The Democrats were at risk of losing the seat anyway.

Ludmya Bourdeau "Mia" Love (born December 6, 1975) is the first Haitian American and first black female Republican ever elected to Congress. Love won the Republican nomination in the 4th Congressional district at the April 26th, 2014 Utah Republican convention. She won election to the House of Representatives from the 4th District of Utah, defeating Democratic opponent Doug Owens.

She's a pro-life, anti-immigration, pro-fracking, and pro-gun politiico.

She has said that if elected to Congress, she would “join the Congressional Black Caucus and try to take that thing apart from the inside out” and has described the Democrat-dominated Caucus as characterized by “...demagoguery. They sit there and ignite emotions and ignite racism when there isn't. They use their positions to instill fear. Hope and change is turned into fear and blame. Fear that everybody is going to lose everything and blaming Congress for everything instead of taking responsibility."

Timothy Eugene "Tim" Scott (born September 19, 1965) is the junior United States Senator for South Carolina.

Scott was born in North Charleston, South Carolina to Ben Scott, Sr. and Frances Scott, a nursing assistant. His parents were divorced when he was 7, and he grew up in poverty under the care of his mother who worked 16-hour days. He has an older brother who is a Sergeant Major in the U.S. Army.

Scott attended Presbyterian College from 1983 to 1984, on a partial football scholarship, and graduated from Charleston Southern University in 1988 with a B.S. in Political Science.

In addition to his political career, Scott owns an insurance agency, and works as a financial advisor.

Scott is one of only two African-American members currently serving in the United States Senate.

Scott will not join the Congressional Black Caucus.

Mia Love will be added to the list of labels. Tim Scott and Cory Booker are already labeled here on Journal de la Reyna.

Mia Love, Tom Cotton, and Joni Ernst are going to be extremely controversial lawmakers. Hopefully I am proven wrong. So far, the junk food media is already propping them up as "rock stars".

Joni Ernst: The New Face Of The Insurgency!

Fire and ice. Joni Ernst will be sworn in January. The insurgency backed candidate beaten weak Dem in Senate race for an open seat. The junk food media is making her into a "rock star".

The state of Iowa elected its first Republican woman to the U.S. Senate.  Joni Ernst, an insurgency supported nominee beat the weak candidate Congressman Bruce Braley (D-IA) in a bitterly fought race for the open seat being vacated by Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA).

Ernst along with Thom Tillis, David Perdue, Dan Sullivan, Congressman Tom Cotton (R-AK), Congressman Cory Gardner (R-CO), Congresswoman Shelley Capito (R-WV), Congressman Steve Daines (R-MT), Governor Mike Rounds (R-SD) will be sworn in January as U.S. Senators.

Republicans won the control of Congress.

Democrats are pissed at not only President Barack Obama but themselves and the junk food media.

They figured that even though things were done under the president, his falling poll numbers (and not to mention his race) contributed a high turnout with Republican voters.

The average Republican voter is typically WHITE, CONSERVATIVE and OVER 65.

The key to helping Republicans win elections and the bragging rights. The agitators of the conservative media are patting each other on the back for giving these candidates airtime and motivation.

The insurgency added Ernst to the fold of many. Stallmigos Mike Lee (R-UT), Rand Paul (R-KY), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Marco Rubio (R-FL),

Joni Kay Ernst (born July 1, 1970) is an American politician who serves as a Republican member of the Iowa Senate, and was elected a United States senator in the United States Senate election in Iowa in November 2014, defeating Bruce Braley, her Democratic opponent.

She is also a lieutenant colonel in the Iowa Army National Guard. Ernst is the first woman to represent Iowa in the United States Congress, the first woman elected on a statewide level in Iowa, and the first female veteran in the U.S. Senate.

Ernst resides in Red Oak, Iowa with her husband, Gail, a retired command sergeant major in the United States Army Rangers and their daughter, Libby.

Ernst is a lifetime member of the Montgomery County Republican Women, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2265, Montgomery County Court of Honor, Altrusa, PEO Chapter HB, a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association, and member of and the Montgomery County Farm Bureau.

She is a member of the Mamrelund Lutheran Church (ELCA) of Stanton, Iowa.

The After Election Analysis....

What would President Barack Obama say to the House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and the Senate Majority Leader Designate Mitch McConnell?

If I was President Barack Obama after the election, I would first call the Republican leaders.

Congratulations to the Republicans on taking back the Congress. I know that you guys aren't too fond of me. I understand. I would say the same about the Republican Party right now. The American people have spoken. I will do my best to work with the Speaker and the new Majority Leader. Me and Vice President Joe Biden have laid out our plans for the new Congress. I am willing to accept that we didn't get our message out there. But as the president, my job is to get things done.

I know I got two more years of my presidency. My job is to focus on our economy. My job is to make sure that our country is safe from ISIL and Ebola. We will work with the Congress to advocate legislation to combat terrorism here and abroad. Although I disagree with a travel ban for people traveling from Ebola stricken nations, we will take everything in consideration with the new Congress.

The Congress must pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform. We have millions of citizens who living here in the United States in the shadows. With Comprehensive Immigration Reform, we can finally help immigrants the opportunities to be legal American citizens.

Congress must pass an infrastructure bill to get roads and bridges repaired. Too many of our roads and bridges are crumbling. The new Congress must figure out a reasonable bill to pass and I will sign it.

I will veto any attempts to repeal the healthcare law. We can work together to improve the law, but I will not sign any law that attempts to repeal the law. We can't allow millions of Americans go without health insurance.

We need to advocate for innovation for clean energy. The contiguous debate over the Keystone XL pipeline will not move forward without a comprehensive look into the environmental impact of residents in the vicinity of the pipeline. The Senate must nominate my appointees. We have federal departments without a supervision. This is not acceptable of the new Congress. We need to pass a bill to help college bound students to get affordable loans.  Let's get things done. I am willing to compromise on some of the policies if you can at least focus on the issues facing the middle class.

We understand that the momentum is against us right now. We respect the democracy of everyone who voted. The American people have spoken. We will find ways to work with the new majority.

REPUBLICAN VICTORY!

Will they compromise with President Barack Obama?

HISTORIC ELECTION FOR THE REPUBLICANS AND THE INSURGENCY!

The U.S. Senate and House will be in the hands of the inept Republican Party this coming session.

Every candidate the Democrats lined up went to slaughter. The Republicans hold on Kansas, Kentucky, Georgia, and picked up the required seats to take back the majority. Louisiana will go into a runoff.

COLORADO, ARKANSAS, ALASKA, NORTH CAROLINA, AND IOWA SWING RED.

BIG NIGHT FOR REPUBLICAN HOUSE, SENATE CANDIDATES AND INCUMBENT GOVERNORS.

FLORIDA, KANSAS, OHIO, MAINE, IOWA, GEORGIA, MICHIGAN, AND WISCONSIN CONTINUE TO BE IN THE HANDS OF RICK SCOTT, SAM BROWNBACK, JOHN KASICH, PAUL LEPAGE, TERRY BRANSTED, NATHAN DEAL, RICK SNYDER, AND SCOTT WALKER.

REPUBLICANS WON ILLINOIS, MARYLAND, AND MASSACHUSETTS.

THE RACIST RIGHT (OLDER THAN 65, WHITE, CONSERVATIVE) TURNED OUT HEAVILY FOR THE REPUBLICANS.

THE DEMOCRATS WERE HOPING ON THE YOUNG, AFRICAN AMERICANS AND HISPANICS TO COME OUT. THE TURNOUT WAS LOWER.

THE REPUBLICANS MANDATED THIS ELECTION. THE JUNK FOOD MEDIA PROJECTS THE U.S. SENATE TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

DEVELOPMENTS CONTINUE AS THEY FOLLOW.

The Day Of Reckoning!

Weeper of the House John Boehner (R-OH), Minority Leader Mitch "The Turtle" McConnell (R-KY) and House Majority Leader Kevin "The 'Young Gun" McCarthy (R-CA) are posed to take back Congress. They will continue to be a headache to President Barack Obama.

It's the day of reckoning. The U.S. Midterm Elections is today. There are very important governor's and U.S. Senate races. It's time to make history.

Could the inept Republicans take back Congress? They lost control in 2007 when George W. Bush was deeply unpopular. That impact managed to help Democrats retake the Congress and aid then senator Barack Obama to the White House.

Now the worthless Democrats are finally seeing the impact of six years of Barack Obama's presidency. The Dems now fear that the base that turned out for him in 2008 and 2012 is sitting it out or dirty tactics from Republican led state legislatures could hurt their chances to hold on to what little power they have.

Barack Obama is deeply unpopular and his impact could cost the Democrats seven seats in the U.S. Senate and eight in the House of Representatives.

Tonight the junk food media is going to cover every aspect of this. They will tell stories of new faces in the Congress.

The agitators of talk radio will debate the sides. The racist right will celebrate this as a repudiation of the Democrats and President Barack Obama.

The condescending left is saying that this narrative that a Republican victory is a disaster for America.

The racist right is saying that with Republicans in power, the country could be saved.

You see how this election is so divisive!

A bunch of unaccomplished legislators are going home. A bunch of unaccomplished legislators coming in. The old cycle of talk a lot of game and yet do nothing. Rush to the cameras to attack the opposition while secretly taking the spoils.

Don't let me drag on your opportunities. Get your ass out there to vote!

MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Insurgent Could Win Iowa's Open Seat!

The female version of  Stallmigo Ted Cruz (R-TX) is likely got this locked. The insurgent candidate for U.S. Senate Jodi Ernst is leading against whack politico Congressman Bruce Braley (D-IA). The insurgent candidate (left) waves to supporters with that idiotic former governor of Alaska (center).

The Des Moines Register has the insurgent candidate Jodi Ernst leading against Democratic Representative Bruce Braley (D-IA) in the fight for the U.S. Senate open seat in Iowa.

The insurgent could wake up an already dysfunctional Republican Party.

Obviously, the bets are likely a Republican takeover in the U.S. Senate. The Republicans practically dominated the media with their anti-Obama stance. Now that they've gotten an advantage in the polls, does it mean that the tides turn.

Republicans are hoping that Blacks, Hispanics, young voters, women and first time voters sit this out.

They want the Democrats strongest supporters to be at home. That's why they've passed these ridiculous voter identification laws, pull back early voting and the Supreme Court dissolves a portion of the Voting Rights Act.

Now Republicans are hoping that with a full Congress, they could repeal Patient Protection and Affordable Healthcare Act (aka Obamacare).

The Des Moines Register tells that Ernst got a 7-point lead. They added that this news buoys the GOP's hope that an Iowa victory will be the tipping point to a Republican takeover of the U.S. Senate.

Ernst, a state senator and military leader, enjoys 51 percent support among likely voters. That's a majority, and it's her biggest lead in the three Iowa Polls conducted this fall. Braley, a congressman and trial lawyer, gets 44 percent, according to The Des Moines Register's final Iowa Poll before Tuesday's election.

It's hard to see much in these poll results that Braley could capitalize on to build a groundswell, Selzer said. "None of this looks good for him," she said.

Democrats rally around former president Bill Clinton. Representative Bruce Braley (D-IA) hopes a Clinton could save his dragging campaign. They know President Barack Obama is too toxic for their campaigns. Democrats finally realized that Obama's race contributes to their dragging polls. And of course, those who sit out Midterms hurt also.

Braley has lost vote share since an early October Iowa Poll (he dropped from 46 percent to 44 percent) while Ernst has increased her share (from 47 percent to 51 percent now).

Another sign of trouble: Braley is losing by 3 points in his home congressional district in left-leaning northeast Iowa. In the early October poll, he was up by 1 point there.

Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) (Majority Leader) has gotten spooked by this news. He's hoping that last minute outreach could pull Braley back from disaster.

The news will thrill Republican activists nationwide, who are counting on Iowa as an anchor for regaining the majority in the U.S. Senate. On Saturday, a progressive group organized a conference call with Majority Leader Harry Reid to urge Iowa Democrats "to double down and save the Senate."

"If we win Iowa, we're going to do just fine," he said. "Iowa is critical, there's no other way to say it."

If Republicans control the Senate, Reid said, "think of what that would mean for our country."

What's going on in my opinion! Democrats are scrambled like eggs. They're getting cooked.

Despite the major accomplishments, the American public is short-term memory on this.

Ernst by my standings is leading by three points in my calculations of this U.S. Senate Race.

Calling it LEAN REPUBLICAN. The showdown for the Hawkeye.
