Hank Aaron: It Doesn't Surprise Me That [Republicans] Acting Like Those Bigots Who Threaten Me!

It ain't too hard to see, but I believe that the Republicans are acting just like those guys with the hoods on. - Hank Aaron.compares the Republicans and Tea Party to the Ku Klux Klan.

Baseball legend compares the inept Republicans to the Klan.

I couldn't agree with him more. It's the antics by the likes of Mitch McConnell, Louie Gohmert, and those annoying ass agitators on Loserville and talk radio that gives Hank Aaron that reason to believe race contributes to the president's proposals being shut down.

Speaking to USA Today Tuesday on the 40th anniversary of his then record-breaking 715th home run, the 80-year-old Aaron said that Republicans are hindering Obama’s job performance.

“Sure, this country has a black president, but when you look at a black president, President Obama is left with his foot stuck in the mud from all of the Republicans with the way he’s treated,” Aaron told USA Today Sports.

Aaron continued: “The bigger difference is that back then they had hoods. Now they have neckties and starched shirts.”

Aaron stated that there is still room for improvement for race relations in the U.S.

“We have moved in the right direction, and there have been improvements, but we still have a long ways to go in the country,” Aaron told USA Today Sports.

Aaron goes on to describe the racist letters he has kept for decades as he was chasing Babe Ruth’s home run record.

“To remind myself that we are not that far removed from when I was chasing the record,” Aaron explained to USA Today Sports. “If you think that, you are fooling yourself. A lot of things have happened in this country, but we have so far to go. There’s not a whole lot that has changed.”

Aaron was honored before the Braves game against the New York Mets on Tuesday night with a ceremony commemorating the 40th anniversary of his 715th home run, the one that pushed him past Babe Ruth and gave him the major league record.

Aaron finished with 755 home runs, but was eventually passed on the career list by Barry Bonds, whose career was tarnished by steroids allegations. Bonds has 762 homers, but many baseball fans don’t accept that number and stand by Aaron as the true record-holder.

Speaking with reporters after the ceremony, Selig was asked about Aaron being called the true home run king.

“I’m always in a sensitive spot there, but I’ve said that myself and I’ll just leave it at that,” Selig said.

During the ceremony Braves chairman Terry McGuirk said Aaron “set the home-run record the old-fashioned way” and added “You will always be the home run king of all time.”

Retired Braves broadcaster Pete Van Wieren earned a big ovation when he said Aaron is “still recognized as baseball’s true home run king.”

Mr. Aaron forgot that we Republicans freed them slaves - John Boehner and Mitch McConnell.

Aaron, 80, was given a standing ovation in the ceremony before the game. Aaron broke Ruth’s record with his homer on April 8, 1974, off the Dodgers’ Al Downing.

Downing attended the ceremony and threw out the first pitch. Some of Aaron’s 1974 teammates returned, including Dusty Baker, who was on-deck when the record-breaking homer was hit, Ralph Garr, Phil Niekro, Ron Reed, Marty Perez and Tom House, who caught the homer in the bullpen.

Aaron thanked fans “for all your kindness all these many years.” Aaron, recovering from recent hip-replacement surgery, used a walker.

“The game of baseball was a way that I relaxed myself each year that I went on the field for 23 years,”
Aaron said. “I gave baseball everything that I had, everything, every ounce of my ability to play the game I tried to play to make you the fans appreciate me more. Thank you.”

Selig, Aaron’s longtime friend, established the Hank Aaron Award in 1999 to honor the top hitter in each league.

He called Aaron’s 715th homer “the most famous and treasured record in American sports.”

Selig said Aaron was a worthy successor to Ruth as home-run king “because he is the living embodiment of the American spirit. … Baseball is forever our national pastime because of people like Henry Aaron.”

The Braves wore their 1970s era white-and-blue uniforms, complete with small “a” caps, in tribute to Aaron.

The Braves are wearing an Aaron 40th anniversary patch on their uniform sleeves this season.

The numbers “715″ were painted on the outfield grass, stretching from left-center to right-center.

The Braves unveiled Aaron jerseys from other college and professional teams in the Atlanta area. Falcons owner Arthur Blank, former Georgia coach and athletic director Vince Dooley and former Georgia Tech coach Bill Curry were among those who stood with their teams’ jerseys adorned with Aaron’s name and No. 44.

The outfield was filled with fans, each wearing blue 44 Braves jerseys and each holding baseball-shaped signs bearing numbers from 1 to 715.

Holder: Republicans In Congress Are F--ked Up!

Holder got pissed at a Republican lawmaker.

It's about time I add Texas Republican Congressman Louie Gohmert to the list of frequent mentions. The nut-job is a frequent agitator and is good friends with That Guy Who Helped Obama Win.

Gohmert is close with Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and Steve King (R-IA). These three are by far the most stupidest members of the House of Representatives.

He and Attorney General Eric Holder got into it over the week. Gohmert tried to dig into Holder by saying he doesn't give a fuck about the contempt charge brought to him by Congress.

The partisan vote on contempt was brought by Republicans in 2012. They were pushing for documents in the Fast & Furious scandal.

Holder being the top cop got heated.

HOLDER: I think what we promised to do is to provide you and your staff with, uh —

GOHMERT: Sir, I've read you what your department promised and it is inadequate, and I realize that contempt is not a big deal to our attorney general, but it is important that we have proper oversight, so —

HOLDER: You don't want to go there, OK?

GOHMERT: I don't want to go there? About the contempt?

HOLDER: You should not assume that is not a big deal to me. I think that it was inappropriate, I think it was unjust. But never think that was not a big deal to me. Don't ever think that.

Dumbass Tea Party Republican Louie Gohmert of Texas.

Last May, Holder and Gohmert got into an argument at a House Judiciary Committee meeting. Gohmert, who's been consistently critical of the attorney general (if largely inconsistent on the reason for the critique), alleged that the Department of Justice had failed to prevent the Boston marathon bombing. Holder criticized Gohmert's characterization, and Gohmert, flustered, responded: "The attorney general will not cast aspersions on my asparagus." It was never clear what he meant or what he was trying to say, but the "asparagus" line became a running joke, with Gohmert as the target.

The hearing on Tuesday was perhaps more heated, as Gohmert questioned why he had not been provided with documents he requested — that, despite the House voting to hold Holder in contempt last June.



Holder on his part said that:

“And if you don’t believe that… you look at the way the Attorney General of the Untied States was treated yesterday by a House committee. Had nothing to do with me, forget that. What Attorney General has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment? What president has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment?”

Conservatives Cheer With Glee As Progressive Radio Is Yanked Off The Air!

Progressive talk radio is an endangered species.

The racist right won many battles in 2013. They've taken Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Mike Lee and Rand Paul to the mainstream. Four men who have relatively no accomplishments managed to get more attention in the junk food media. They've been on many GOP Sunday programs ranting and raving about how they hate Barack Obama and offer no real ideas to go against him.

They've gotten Martin Bashir off MSNBC (Obama News) after he compared Palin Da Ass's comments to defecating in a slave's mouth.

They've rallied against the IRS, the U.S. Census bureau, the TSA, the NSA and the president's nominees.

How many times have you've heard about Benghazi?

I know that Lindsay Graham, Michelle Bachmann, Darrell Issa, and Mike Rogers are harping about the president letting Americans dies overseas at a Libyan consulate that was a CIA front. And despite evidence proving the president's point about a spontaneous event, these right wing agitators made a theme of it being a moment of aloof for President Barack Obama.

They managed to shuffle the deck in the fight for Congress. The Republicans lead in most national polls. They many have the potential to win Congress. They've gerrymandered districts that made it even harder for Democrats to pick up. To make this clear, even a moderate Republican can lose.

Alan Colmes

They managed to get Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson back on the show.

They managed to put progressive radio on the ropes literally. They cheer knowing that Stephanie Miller, Bill Press, Ed Schultz, Thom Hartmann, Alan Colmes, Joe Madison, Randi Rhodes and Mike Malloy are bumped off the air.

In part of the Cumulus firing of That Guy Who Helped Obama Win (aka Sean Hannity), the radio dials had to change flagships. Some stations are willing to take that annoying ass conservative agitator in place of a handful of progressive agitators who once held title to their stations. The shakeup has even Stephanie Miller, the 10th most listened agitator searching for a new radio home. Ed Schultz, the fifth most listened agitator on radio flagship WWRL AM, New York is going to Spanish language and he's bumped.

Stephanie Miller.

 The flagship station KTLK AM in Los Angeles will drop Stephanie Miller and Ed Schultz for King Hippo (aka Rush Limbaugh) and That Guy Who Helped Obama Win.  the media radio giants have decided that the progressive voices aren't marketable either.

It's a sad state of affairs. Most talk radio hosts are WHITE MALES. There is a strong lack of diversity in the talk radio format.

And due to the fact that those two conservative agitators caused a whole lot of trouble during 2012 U.S. presidential elections, some media outlets are trying to keep controversy to a minimum.

These two agitators really screwed up everyone's opportunity for advertising successes. Now progressive talkers and up-in-coming conservatives are struggling to find many radio affiliates and finding alternatives off the AM dial. Some are taking it to SiriusXM or the internet.

The stations that had progressive radio agitators are being replaced with conservative agitators. Some are even going to sports talk and Spanish radio.

Currently, there are fewer than 100 U.S. commercial radio stations carrying liberal talk programs, compared to around 600 stations for King Hippo and 500 for That Guy Who Helped Obama Win and many other agitators. A good example of the format's struggles is in Boston, where Clear Channel put it on AM 1200 and 1430 from 2004 until 2006. A short time later, host Jeff Santos began buying time on WWZN AM 1510 in Boston airing his own show plus syndicated offerings such as Ed Schultz and Stephanie Miller.

As money dried up, and after other national hosts were offered such as Al Sharpton, his brokered time on WWZN shrank to his own show, and then that was cut loose in the fall of 2012 as the station went to all sports. Santos does have a few other stations in other areas carrying his show but is currently off in Boston, thought of as a left-leaning city (it is possible National Public Radio stations in the area cater to this audience already.)

On January 21, 2010, Air America announced that it would immediately cease programming, and the company would file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy; citing some of the following reasons on their website:

"The very difficult economic environment has had a significant impact on Air America's business.

Joe Madison left AM radio to join SiriusXM. One of the many progressive voices on radio that moved to the internet when their affiliates dropped programming.

This past year has seen a "perfect storm" in the media industry generally. National and local advertising revenues have fallen drastically, causing many media companies nationwide to fold or seek bankruptcy protection.

From large to small, recent bankruptcies like Citadel Broadcasting and closures like that of the industry's long-time trade publication Radio and Records have signaled that these are very difficult and rapidly changing times."

It's business though.

In my opinion the top ten agitators in the talk radio format:

1) Rush Limbaugh
2) Sean Hannity
3) Michael Savage
4) Glenn Beck
5) Ed Schultz
6) Mark Levin
7) Dave Ramsey
8) Thom Hartmann
9) Howard Stern
10) Stephanie Miller

Conservative Outrage Over Iran's Agreement To Disarming!

A victory for the West is surrender according to the conservatives who support Israel in a possible provoked attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran.

QUICK QUESTION: WHY ARE THE SO-CALLED PRO-AMERICAN CROWD SUPPORTING A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT? 

LAST TIME I'VE CHECKED, ISRAEL IS A FOREIGN COUNTRY. 

WITH ALL THIS BEMOANING FROM REPUBLICANS AND THEIR CONSERVATIVE ALLIES, I WOULD OF SWORN THEY'RE TURNING THEIR BACKS AGAINST AMERICA! THESE SO-CALLED PATRIOTS AREN'T SUPPORTING AMERICA, BUT A FOREIGN NATION.

ISN'T THAT TREASONOUS?

THESE WAR TURKEYS AREN'T THINKING ABOUT ENDING CONFLICTS! 

IN THEIR MINDS, ALL THEY SEE ARE BROWN SCARY MUSLIM PEOPLE.

ISRAEL IS FAULTLESS IN THE CONFLICT.

AND IF YOU CRITICIZE THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT, YOU'RE ANTI-SEMITIC ACCORDING TO THESE WAR TURKEYS! 

The Islamic Republic of Iran is the "enemy" of the United States. When the leaders of the country speak ill of America and Israel, those arm chair warriors want to take the bombs to them.

The conservatives believe that the president and the international leaders handed Iran a victory by giving them six months to give up their intentions of nuclear enrichment. Somehow, achieving a goal to make Iran give up its nuclear weapons isn't a victory but a "surrender".

For if it was a Republican president, you wouldn't hear the talk from the likes of Senator John McCain (R-AZ) saying a move like this is "dangerous".

In order for sanctions to be lifted, lead negotiators for the P5+1 and Iran met in Geneva in October to discuss elements of a possible framework for resolving questions about Iran's nuclear program. Experts from the P5+1 and Iran met in Vienna around late October to exchange detailed information on those elements. Lead negotiators met again this month to negotiate that framework, joined at the end by Foreign Ministers from the P5+1, but despite extending the talks. In the beginning they were unable to agree on that framework and agreed instead to meet again later.

Today, the foreign ministers of Iran and the P5+1 agreed to a six-month interim deal that involves the freezing of key parts of the Iranian nuclear program in exchange for a decrease in sanctions, to provide time to negotiate a permanent agreement. Iran will stop enriching uranium beyond 5%, and will stop development of their Arak plant. The UN will be granted greater access for inspections. In exchange, Iran will receive relief from sanctions of approximately $7 billion and no additional sanctions will be imposed.

President Obama called the agreement an "important first step."

Conservatives call it an Obama apology tour. It starts with right wing asshat Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying that the international powers comforting to Iran is a "mistake".

Senator Bob Crocker (R-TN) appears on Loserville to make his "I hate Obama" rhetoric. He, McCain and his BFF Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC) have denounced the move as a precedent towards letting Iran dictate how they operate.

The Stallmigos and their buddies affiliated with the Tea Party claim this announcement is a distraction from the disastrous rollout of Obamacare.

Even some of those war turkeys in the Democratic Party aren't happy about the peaceful solution.

Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) are two vocal critics of the Six Party talks to making Iran stop the nuclear program.

A bunch of war turkeys who think the best way to solving a problem is either starve them or bomb them.

Just angry over a political disagreements.

I mean if Iran criticizes Israel, conservative Republicans and those spineless Democrats are beating on their chests. They feel that criticizing the government is a sin.

I mean you got a right wing asshat like Netanyahu in power and his ass is trying to derail the peace progress with his bellicose rabble rousing.

Arab nations Iraq, Syria, Kuwait, Qatar, Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and the Palestinian Authority have come out in favor of the temporary agreement. Lebanon also hailed the agreement, while emphasizing that Israel should also sign the NPT and rid itself of its nuclear weapons arsenal.

Turkey, India and Pakistan have also welcomed the framework agreement.

In a reference to Israel's arsenal of nuclear weapons, Saudi Arabia and Qatar both advocated a comprehensive solution to Iran's nuclear issue which would leave the entire Middle East free of nuclear weapons.

Most Americans can't find Iran, Afghanistan and Iraq on a map.

Reaction from Israeli government politicians was negative. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the accord a "historic mistake," and intelligence minister Yuval Steinitz compared it to failed nuclear negotiations with North Korea.

Considering the way Washington handled the deal with Iran The Jerusalem Post questioned whether Netanyahu would "place Israel's security in the hands of US guarantees".

Leader of the opposition Isaac Herzog criticized Netanyahu's reaction as bad for Israel's relations with the United States, although Herzog also said that Obama was partly to blame for not communicating more closely with Israel.

Saudi Arabia, a regional rival of Iran, welcomed the agreement. The Saudi cabinet released a statement which read, in part: "The government of the kingdom sees that if there was goodwill, this agreement could represent a preliminary step towards a comprehensive solution to the Iranian nuclear program" and could eventually lead "to the removal of weapons of mass destruction, especially nuclear weapons, from the Middle East and the Arab Gulf region".

Reaction from the U.S. Congress was mixed. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and Peter King were sharply critical of the agreement. Democrats Nancy Pelosi and Adam Smith were more positive. Speaker John Boehner and Democrat Eliot Engel were cautious.

Reactions from Canada were "skeptical", with Minister of Foreign Affairs John Baird saying Iran "has not earned the right to have the benefit of the doubt."

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon hailed the interim agreement as the potential "beginnings of a historic agreement."

Hezbollah published a declaration and stated this is a triumph for Iran.

What's your take on this?

I know my personal take is, good for America to put aside it differences to do something. I am glad that the president didn't take orders from some right wing asshat who believes that we should bow down to him and his corrupt government.

Israelis can bitch and scream all they want. They're just lucky the UN and global leaders don't call upon the country to give up its nuclear power and weapons.

James Carville: Obama Should Toke A Crackpipe! He'll Be Popular Like [Toronto's] Mayor Rob Ford!

Tasteless joke by a hack Democratic strategist has riled up the conservatives.

James Carville is a former Bill Clinton strategist and married to Republican operative Mary Matlin.

He's called the RAGING CAJAN because of his combative debates. He misses them days over at CNN because Crossfire now has Newt Gingrich, S.E. Cupp, Van Jones and Stephanie Cutter hosting the show.

He and his wife were regular contributors to CNN. They were given the ax this year and now they appear on random competitors from time to time.

He's a "free agent" over at Loserville and Obama News. And whenever they invite him or his wife Matlin on, expect something crazy to come out of their mouths.

On Monday's Morning Joe, Carville was discussing the president's downward spiral in the polls.

He makes a "joke" about the president taking a cue from the embattled Canadian mayor Rob Ford.

Ford, the mayor of Toronto is facing heavy scrutiny after it was revealed that he was under the influence of cocaine and crack during his time as mayor. Gawker and other junk food media figures are paying huge sums to see the video of Ford toking a pipe.

The conservatives zeroed in on his notable quirk:

“I think the best thing he can do is take a toke on the mayor of Toronto’s crack pipe, because his numbers are about 48.”

For one thing, that's pretty dumb for someone to say that. If Carville really wanted to raise eyebrows, he could have said, "You know Obama could have his own Monica! It saved Bill Clinton!"

The only reason why former president Bill Clinton managed to stay in the high job approval is the onslaught of criticism from Republicans when they were obsessed "Clinton Scandals". The tipping point was the impeachment of Bill Clinton because he had an affair with intern Monica Lewinsky.

The Republicans were obsessed with her and Paula Jones. They were trying to get into the personal business of the president. They were trying to have him removed over sex.

In the case of President Barack Obama, it's his race. Carville quipped a "dog whistle". To compare the president to a corrupt mayor is pretty damn stupid.

It's probably why he was cut from CNN. This type of stuff isn't what CNN does. They don't want to be like Obama News and Loserville. They paid a price for neutrality. But in the long run, it may be its determent.

Carville, understand this. It's mostly his race that drives his polls down.

Because White voters are the most pessimistic when it comes to the economy. They are the most impatient when it comes to the healthcare law.

While a website isn't the full package of the American Healthcare Act, the ongoing stories about this stupid website and the minor problems that came when it was launched, this has dragged his job approval down.

For the three years since its passage, Congress hasn't motivate its constituents about the law. The Republicans and its conservative allies have deliberately misled and distort the law. The president's most staunch critics will not sign up for the healthcare benefits no matter what he tells them. The critics will then tell others to avoid the website.

People like That Guy Who Helped Obama Win have been notorious in misleading the public about the healthcare law.

Carville is friends with That Guy.

Another thing, he can't get nothing done with this inept Congress.

So I don't see where he can get an aggressive agenda done when you see either John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, John McCain, Lindsay Graham, Michele Bachmann, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Marco Rubio, Kelly Ayotte, Mike Rogers, Steve King, Louie Gohmert, and David Vitter on every freaking news program!

They have no accomplishments other than the amount of time they spend in a front of a camera.

They haven't done much and yet we keep electing them.

So to James Carville and others like him, shut the fuck up!

The president is fine. He will do whatever he can to help the United States move forward. He will try to get things done with this lame ass Congress. Obama will succeed.

Lindsey Graham: I'll Stall Nominees Until I Get My Benghazi Answers!

Annoying senator returns to GOP Sundays with Benghazi Fever!

CBS News ran a story about the Libyan consulate tragedy last year and the Republicans still demanding answers to how four Americans being killed in Benghazi.

On GOP Sundays, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) makes his umpteenth appearance on Loserville Sunday. The annoying senator wants to block every nomination that the president presents.

And why is that?

Because the annoying ass senator wants "ANSWERS" from everyone at the U.S. Consulate. Meaning leaking information about CIA agents so their cover could be blown, and Graham will bitch about that next.

Graham, John McCain (R-AZ), Rand Paul (R-KY), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), Mike Lee (R-UT) are gadflies. They have nothing but contempt for obstruction. And of course, they continue to get airtime. They have no accomplishments but yet get the most airtime to bitch about President Barack Obama.

On September 11, 2012, a terrorist attack occurred. Four Americans including U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens were killed by an extremist group with ties to al-Qaeda.

Under the cover of an online video mocking the Prophet Mohammad, extremists managed to sneak into the consulate and use rocket propelled grenades to attack.

This incident happened in the middle of the U.S. presidential election. Perennial loser Mitt Romney wanted to make a case for chest beating and got his ass handed to him by the media. It got him looking like a trigger happy buffoon.

Since the incident, Republicans continue to waste taxpayer money to find answers to a tragedy they've concluded.

Man I wish they were like this 12 years ago when the worst tragedy on American soil happened?

I kind of wish they cover all embassy attacks and find ways to prevent these incidents from happening again.

Wow, wondering how they would feel if they leak the names of a CIA agent in the middle of a clandestine mission?

Ted Cruz: I Hate Obama And Everything He Stands For!

Why does the junk food media give this asshole media coverage?

Today on That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall's website. A headline saying that controversial U.S. Senator from Texas has the audacity to say that the president is "an abuse of power!"

This asshole is one to talk.

In a mere ten months, the unaccomplished politico continues to win over hearts of the racist right and the junk food media. Merely just blowing stuff out of his ass, the Stallmigo talks to Fusion (an ABC and Univision affiliated network) about how he believes that President Barack Obama is a "dictator".

The president and this asshole met earlier this month during the government shutdown.

Cruz told Obama that any deal to reopen the government must also provide relief for those negatively affected by Obamacare.

He and 19 other senators in the Republican Party supported a continuation of the government shutdown in which thousands of workers were furloughed. And while they were running to the cameras demanding they open up veteran memorials while destroying the safety nets for thousands.

This Stallmigo is a thorn in the president's skin.

He actually thinks that bigot Jesse Helms is a "hero".

Republicans are fixated on the NSA, The IRS, the healthcare website, Benghazi, Fast & Furious, the birth certificate, radical Muslims, cutting food stamps, and every other distraction.

Instead of keeping their promises on bringing jobs to all Americans, Republicans in the House and the Senate spent a majority of their two sessions trying to screw Obama.

Well hopefully they screw themselves.

I guess being from Texas, you're a politico with the ears plugged and eyes twice shut.

Wonder where this asshole was during the previous administration?

With that Edward Snowden getting a pass in Russia, it's almost impossible for the United States to snatch his ass up and have him stand trial for leaking classified information to the press.

Practically pissing off the world leaders over the National Security Administration's wiretapping of foreign nation phones and some here in the United States.

For one thing, the tapping of Chancellor Angela Murkel's phone started in 2002 and ended in 2011.

President George W. Bush and President Barack Obama are both responsible for what happened and they will owe up to it when history judges them.

But it seems like whenever there's a Democrat in the White House, the Republicans play upon the fears of the gullible and weak. But since we're dealing with the first Black president, this time it seems a whole lot different from the previous Democrats.

The president's job approval is relatively in the middle 40s. He can't seem to shake his job approval above 50%. Even after the government shutdown it's still hanging in the 40s.

The president maintained that he wants to pass gun control, immigration reform and continue the implications of the healthcare law.

All of this was met with obstruction from Republicans and that asshat Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV).

The Stallmigo will continue to stall nominees along with his fellow trooper Rand Paul (R-KY) and that dip snot Lindsay Graham (R-SC).

We really need to uproot these clowns.

What's your thoughts on the Stallmigo?

CBS Turdporter Spinning Right Wing Talking Points!

Jan Crawford barfs up another misleading report about the Affordable Healthcare Act. She and Sheryl Atkinson are the two right wing hacks on CBS News.

Every morning I get up around 7AM to watch CBS This Morning. I enjoy the combo of Charlie Rose, Norah O'Donnell and Gayle King.

I've gotten tired of Today and all the drama over there. I'm guessing in the coming years, Matt Lauer and Jenna Wolfe are going to be scrapped. Carson Daly and Tamron Hall will eventually take the helm soon.

I am slowly starting to show a liking to GMA (Good Morning America), but they're too sappy on the stories.

CBS This Morning is pretty straight forward. None of that "Shove the camera in the yokel's face" stuff like on Today, GMA and Loserville & Friends.

But as of lately, I just turn off the television whenever I see that annoying right wing hack Jan Crawford on.

She's literally barfing up distortions. She's giving credence to the Republican Party by telling these ridiculous stories about how the Affordable Healthcare Act being a full of problems.

I didn't have much of a problem jumping onto Healthcare.gov. In the beginning, I had some problems but of course, I believed that it's mostly cause of the government shutdown. It took patience and I eventually got an account and I happened to scope out some pretty affordable plans.

The Republican Party and its conservative allies in the junk food media spin like bottle. They're kissing their chances at winning the Congress goodbye. After the government shutdown, one is to believe that the Republicans would be done with their obsessions with the healthcare law, Benghazi, Fast & Furious and the IRS scandals.

NOPE. Full steam ahead.

That annoying ass Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC) is threatening to block nominations over Benghazi.

Stallmigo Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rand Paul (R-KY) have threaten to block the FCC and Federal Reserve nominations.

Congressmen Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Mike Rogers (R-MI) are calling for investigations into the handling of the website. He and many Republican lawmakers have called for Health and Human Services secretary Kathleen Sebelius to resign.

They're continuing on this onward path to another government shutdown and potential for fiscal collapse of the global economy.

Mediaite's Tommy Christopher debunks all the spin from that turdporter.

In his column, he observed Jan Crawford's report and fact checked her. She interviewed 56 year-old Dianne Barrette of Florida has become a North Star for those seeking to undercut the health care law by claiming that her premium increased tenfold under Obamacare, without disclosing that what Ms. Barrette was paying $54 a month for barely qualifies as insurance.

On CBS This Morning, Crawford reported that 56-year-old Dianne Barrette received a letter last month “from Blue Cross Blue Shield, informing her that as of January 2014, she would lose her current plan. She pays $54 a month. The new plan she’s being offered would run $591 a month, ten times more than what she currently pays.”

“What I have right now is what I’m happy with,” Barrette says in the report, “and I just want to know why I can’t keep what I have. Why do I have to be forced into something else.”

There are very good answers to her questions, answers which Crawford, either deliberately or through ignorance, failed to report, answers which are available to anyone with a passing familiarity with health insurance.

First of all, the plan that Barrette paid $54 a month for is barely health insurance at all. It’s part of a subset of insurance that Consumer Reports calls “junk health insurance” (and which even the company that sells it recommends that customers not rely solely upon) and it pays only $50 towards most of the services it covers. That’s it. If Dianne went to the doctor every week for a year, her plan would pay, at most, $2600. Meanwhile, based on average office visit charges, Diane would pay about $5,600.00. She probably doesn’t go to the doctor every week, of course, which means her plan pays a lot less, while her premium buys her a lot less. If she goes to the doctor, say, six times in a year, she’s paid a $648 premium for the privilege of spending another $600 on office visits. The plan also pays up to $15 per prescription, which will get you a few milligrams of most prescription drugs. The one decent deal on her plan is that it covers 100% of in-network lab services.

But many people just want the peace of mind to know that if something really bad happens, they won’t have to worry about being billed into the poorhouse. What if the worst happens, and Dianne needs to be hospitalized due to sudden illness or injury? Well, unless Dianne is suffering complications due to pregnancy, her plan covers nothing. If she’s having complications from pregnancy, it covers fifty bucks. It’s entirely possible that now-healthy Dianne is “happy” with this plan, but the whole idea behind the Affordable Care Act is that the rest of us are not happy having to pick up the tab if Dianne gets a disease, has an accident, or otherwise needs to go to the hospital. Frankly, though, Dianne would be better off saving that $648 and negotiating her office visits on her own.

The plan that Crawford compares Dianne’s junk insurance with (even BCBSFL recommends that customers not rely solely on GoBlue plans), on the other hand, is probably not the best deal available for the money if you’re planning fairly regular doctor visits, but it’s just one of many plans the company offers in that price range. It has a $6,250 deductible that applies to most services (the law requires routine care to be covered at 100%) before the plan pays. However, there’s a cheaper plan ($547/mo.) that covers the first 3 office visits per year at 100%, with a $40 copay after that. BCBSFL offers nine other plans cheaper than the one suggested in Dianne’s letter.

Like all Obamacare plans, of course, any plan Dianne chooses will have an out-of-pocket maximum of $6,350, versus the current $infinity that her plan offers.

Additionally, Crawford reports that Dianne “is eligible for some subsidies,” but “she has no idea what the subsidies would be because, of course, guess what, she can’t log on the website.”

Of course, Crawfod must know that you don’t have to log in to Healthcare.gov to get an “idea” of what the subsidies would be. If Dianne makes about $17,000 a year, in fact, she’d pay exactly what she did for that junk insurance, but even if she makes Florida’s princely median income, her premium would be a much more reasonable $332.50/mo. If Crawford had wanted to, she could have provided an accurate estimate of Dianne’s actual premium.

But how, you may ask, was Jan Crawford supposed to know the details of the GoBlue plan 91 that Dianne was on before, and the new BlueOptions Essential (HSA) 1419 plan she’s being offered? She could start by watching her own report, and its unredacted copy of Dianne’s letter:

Tommy Christopher debunks CBS turdporter's Obamacare story.

That and Google would have produced valuable information for Crawford’s viewers, information which might not have served the mainstream media narrative of the moment, but which would have cast Dianne’s predicament in a drastically different light. She’s basically complaining that a new car costs more than her old shoes. There’s a decent chance that Dianne Barett doesn’t even know what her current plan does or does not cover, but it’s not her job to inform the public, it’s Crawford’s. Now that her fake nightmare scenario has made the jump to the White House briefing room, it is absolutely essential that CBS News correct this misleading reporting.

Tommy Christopher concluded that Dianne Barrette has no idea what her plan covers, and her actual premium under Obamacare would be about a third what CBS reported. She tells the Erik Wemple Blog that her plan has a “$50 copay,” when in reality, that’s the amount her plan will pay toward an office visit (she’s responsible for the rest), she says it provides “outpatient only” hospital care, but the plan only covers $50 of a very narrow set of outpatient services (mammography, osteoporosis screening, diabetes self-management, and complications from pregnancy).

She also told Wemple that she makes around $30,000 a year, which would put her Obamacare premium at about $209/mo. That’s for a plan that is literally infinitely better than what she had.

Wemple also reports that Dianne will soon be appearing on three Loserville programs.

Thanks Tommy Christopher for flushing that turd's report down the toilet along with the rest of the misrepresentations of the law.

Even That Tea Partier's Son Is A Total Idiot!

It''s a personal matter! - Rand Paul, U.S. Senator from Kentucky.

The moronic politico of Kentucky isn't done "shaking things up" with his Stallmigo buddies. As soon as January 2014 starts, we may be back in the same damn position we just got out of. We may experience another government shutdown and a debt ceiling crisis.

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) are the Stallmigos. They have no accomplishments as legislators but they have the most coverage of almost all the politicos in the U.S. Senate.

How many times have you seen either Paul, Cruz, Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC), Senator John McCain (R-AZ), and Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) on GOP Sundays?

How many times has the junk food media dropped their names?

Besides President Barack Obama, Paul, Cruz and Rubio's names are being dropped by me, and the millions of arm chair warriors on the internet. Besides the junk food media's continuous fixation for controversial stories, one in particular will have Senator Paul embarrassed.

I'm guessing that Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) is blaming President Barack Obama for his son's turmoils.

With all that talk of liberty, freedom, the U.S. Constitution and the gold standard, the Paul family isn't much other than a bunch of drunk idiots. Or a bunch racist idiots. I can't tell whether they're drunk, racists or both!

Anyway, the politico's son was arrested for underage drinking. Damn in a hypothetical Ron Paul presidency, you wouldn't have restrictions on alcohol consumption based on age. Those rules should only apply to the parents and not the big ol' bad gubmint.

Hell, we should legalize ever drug in the country! Money flows free and addicts get their fix.

Who cares if they cause a chemical hazard by cooking up meth?

Who cares about a person being intoxicated when operating a vehicle or heavy lifting equipment?

Who cares about the dirty syringe needles and razor blades being scattered in area where someone could accidentally get hurt?

Who cares about the possibilities of overdose and infectious diseases obtained from drug use?

That's alright, we're living in a hypothetical Ron Paul presidency!

William Hilton Paul, the 20-year-old son of Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), was cited over the weekend for being in possession of alcohol at a Kentucky racetrack. Dick Brown, the Kentucky Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control said that Paul was caught with alcohol during a “targeted enforcement detail” at the Lexington racetrack.

Sen. Paul’s son can either pay the $25 fine and court costs or agree to appear in court on November 15 to contest the charge.

“William Paul also faced alcohol-related charges in North Carolina this year, but they were dismissed in a deferred prosecution program,” Talking Points Memo reported.

William Paul is a full-time student at the University of Kentucky.

Palin: Mitch, I'm Coming For You! You Betcha!

The controversial politico is going to find ways to oust Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

Washed up politico fires a round towards the Senate Republican Minority Leader.

We adverted a global recession at the price of a pork project in Mitch McConnell's home state of Kentucky.

Many Americans are pissed at Congress for not getting things done. The job approval for Congress is at record lows. It's a shame that many Americans continue to vote for these type of politicos.

Again, McConnell is a rotten politician. He's nothing more than a waste of space in the state of Kentucky.

He's been attacking his opponents from the left and the right. And despite all the money and all the political rabble rousing, this race is more tougher for him. Say if the Republican leader manages to win the primary, he'll be a vulnerable candidate. He could likely win. But say if the Tea Party opponent Matt Bevin wins, it's going to be a Republican hold.

The Palin Da Ass penned a piece about her mission to uproot the establishment Republicans. She's aiming at Kentucky (McConnell), Mississippi (Thad Cochran), South Carolina (Lindsay Graham), and Tennessee (Lamar Alexandar).

Of course, her word vomit included a shot at President Barack Obama and Senator Cory Booker (D-New Jersey), the newly elected member who won a special election against Steve Lonegan, a right wing bigot.

Tonight’s press coverage of the status quo antics in Washington, D.C. energize us further. Tonight’s New Jersey race was a win for Barack Obama, and the Senate deal in D.C. was a loss for the American people replete with more back-room deals, billion dollar corrupt earmark kickbacks, and weak leadership unwilling to stand up for the people who sent them to Washington.

Turtle soup. 

[The Republicans caving into Obama's demands] reminds us of how hard we must fight in 2014 to return to a government of the people, by the people, for the people. These politicians work for us, and yet a new poll accurately reflects that just 13% of us feel as though this country that we love is on the right track. The way forward is to elect leaders who will listen to us; and if they don’t, we must hold them accountable on election day – no matter what party. Let’s commit to continue to be in the trenches fighting for those who stand on principle over politics, despite the odds.

Friends, do not be discouraged by the shenanigans of D.C.’s permanent political class today. Be energized.

We’re going to shake things up in 2014. Rest well tonight, for soon we must focus on important House and Senate races. Let’s start with Kentucky – which happens to be awfully close to South Carolina, Tennessee, and Mississippi – from sea to shining sea we will not give up. We've only just begun to fight.

Even that stupid ass Robert Zimmerman (brother of acquitted shooter George Zimmerman), gives her props for standing up for the Tea Party.

Todd and I were proud to stand with Mark Levin and other bold, patriotic warriors in support of Steve Lonegan in... http://t.co/yHlfqNWDZn

In the word vomit, you basically see a Republican civil war. The Tea Party was highly disappointed in the deal. They wanted to be united against Obamacare and it turned out that they fought a battle they weren't going to win.

Now instead of cutting their losses, they double time on the ignorance.

In midterm elections, the majority party usually in power often suffers the setback. Counting on how far the Republicans will go to further to isolate their middle.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Congressman Bill Young, Republican of Florida. It was confirmed by the Associated Press that he had died today. The people over at liberal agitating blog Talking Points Memo were mocking Gretchen Carlson of Loserville thinking she got the story wrong. It turns out it was proven true.

Also we here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of former House Speaker Tom Foley, Democrat of Washington.

Awful Randstie!

Fireworks between two politicos have the media buzzing about the next wave of presidential failures.

The junk food media is so much in love with the notion of these politicos running for the top spot.

We're not even in the first full year of President Barack Obama's second term and the talk is about the potential replacement after him.

The Republican Party still has a long way to go in order to win back the voters who abandoned them.

They can't run on the notion that it's all about GOD, OIL, WAR, DEREGULATION and LOWER TAXES.

They really need broaden their outreach.

To the anonymous commentator who seems to always have a fixation on one issue, here's another one for you to sink your opinion on. Two politicos from the Republican Party are feuding. Both of them were elected on the merits of the Tea Party.

One betrayed the Tea Party when a hurricane wiped away his state. Another won the attention of Palin Da Ass after he made an eleven hour filibuster over an Obama nominee.

While one has contributed to bring his state, the other is showboating for his state. One has accomplishments, the other is an accomplished agitator on GOP Sundays or a regular feature on the conservative agitators programs.

While one believes in a form of libertarian, the other believes in compassionate conservatism.

One man is a Kentucky senator. He has kind of weird hairdo and large cult following. His cult followers are a product of his dad, a former congressman. The other is fat and oftentimes called a bully among the critics. He's looking forward to winning another term as New Jersey's governor.

There's a feud going on and the junk food media is eating this stuff up. We'll talk about the feud between Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) and Governor Chris Christie (R-New Jersey).

On GOP Sundays many Republicans had an opportunity to chime in on the president's handling of a terrorist threat that force the closing of U.S. Embassies and Consulates.

The Sunday regulars Senator John McCain (R-Arizona), Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa), Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), Congressman Peter King (R-New York), Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), Republican chairman Reince Priebus and even Donald Trump were on this ongoing Obama bashing tour.

Only a few serious issues were mentioned on GOP Sundays. The NSA scandal, Benghazi, the threat of al Qaeda of the Arabian Peninsula were the giving the Republicans their themed talking points.

It's Obama Fault! - Enough said.

Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri) was on Obama News' Meet The Press only to discuss the issue with military rape.

That's a real issue that's often missed on GOP Sundays. The rape of female military officers is an ongoing controversy and the Congress has ducked this one. That's a huge problem and the Republicans seem to have their priorities on other things.

Republicans and their conservative allies are more concerned with helping a rodeo clown get a little extra money. They are concerned about the president's golf outings. They're concerned about how many people are clapping when the president speaks.

Better yet, they're all happy that Kris Jenner (of The Kardashians) is bashing the president because he took shots at those annoying celebriturds Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.

Really there's a 4:1 ratio in the Sunday news programs. For the last five weeks, I've seen more of McCain than I've seen of Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-Florida), the Democratic National Committee chairwoman.

They've gave more platforms to Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota) over Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) or Senator Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio).

They have managed to give the Republicans all the opportunities to rant and rave about how government isn't working. Of course, they're the ones who are in the business of having government not work.

Now Rand Paul is the son of former Texas congressman Ron Paul.

Ron Paul (or Ron Perot) is a perennial candidate for president. His last attempt at running for president ended up being just like the last two times. It turned out to be a disaster. When Paul was running in 2012, finally the Ron Paul Newsletters came to light.

In these newsletters were some of the most vile and racist bullshit to ever be published. Although Paul denies being akin to the publishing, his outrageous statements doomed his chances.

Rand Paul on the other hand had to duck around questions of his staffers. One in particular claims that the Confederacy was actually the winners of the Civil War. Paul had to get rid of him quickly.

This spat between Christie and Paul have gotten so much attention because these two are often mentioned as potential Republican candidates for president.

Christie has a record of accomplishment and Paul has nothing. Paul offers the fire in the belly stuff that could attract young minds, but once he gets going, he scares people, literally.

The Christie issue surrounds the approval of President Barack Obama's handling of Hurricane Sandy in the closing weeks of the 2012 U.S. Presidential Election.

Many Republicans are divided on who could be viable for the potential Hillary Clinton threat. Even though she's hasn't signaled an intention to run, the Republicans want to run someone who capable of winning.

Do you think that Rand Paul (being a sack of shit) capable of winning if he runs for president?

Do you think that Chris Christie (being a sack of shit) capable of winning if he runs for president?

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.



______________

Obama Picks Susan Rice As National Security Adviser!

President Barack Obama picks UN ambassador Susan Rice as his National Security Adviser.  This pick is a retaliation to the Republicans for their refusal to look into Rice as a Secretary of State. The pick went to John Kerry. The president warns Republicans not to filibuster his picks.

The Republicans will crow about President Barack Obama's pick for National Security Adviser.

The United Nations ambassador Susan Rice will be nominated to fill the position of National Security Adviser. This decision will bring the Republican senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham back into the spotlight. McCain (R-Arizona) and Graham (R-South Carolina) are two of the gadflies who will whine about it.

The president can pick someone who can be an adviser without the approval of the U.S. Senate.

The conservatives will be totally pissed that the president thumb his nose at the Republicans by picking a woman who went to five Sunday talk shows to defend the president's handling in Benghazi.

The Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, commonly referred to as the National Security Advisor (abbreviated NSA, or sometimes APNSA or ANSA to avoid confusion with the abbreviation of the National Security Agency), is a senior official in the Executive Office of the President who serves as the chief advisor, stationed in the White House, to the President of the United States on national security issues. This person also participates in the meetings of the National Security Council. The National Security Advisor's office is located in the West Wing of the White House. He or she is supported by the National Security Council staff that produces research, briefings, and intelligence for the APNSA to review and present either to the National Security Council or directly to the President.

The Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs is appointed by the President without confirmation by the United States Senate. However, the APNSA is a staff position in the Executive Office of the President and does not have line authority over either the Department of State or the Department of Defense, but is able, as a consequence thereof, to offer advice to the President - unlike the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense who are Senate-confirmed officials with line authority over their departments - independently of the vested interests of the large bureaucracies and clientele of those departments.

She will replace Tom Donilon. Donilon will step down by the end of the month.

GOP: Understaffed Federal Workers! Good!

The IRS scandal, the Benghazi scandal and the Department of Justice trying to silence classified leaks are being hyped up by the Republican Party and its allies in the conservative movement.

Would you expect the lack of federal services due to the sequester are probably a reason to why these controversies happened?

No.

Well here's a shocker for you! Many federal appointments weren't confirmed during the first term of President Barack Obama. And today it continues because of the Republican senate's abuse of power on the filibuster.

As we celebrate Memorial Day, our federal workers who serve the needs of the United States government will lose a portion of their pay. While our lawmakers are taking another vacation, they leave the Capitol with many bills undone and lack of corporation between the two opposing parties. They are leaving from the very jobs we the American people voted them in for.

The sequester's effects on the federal government are starting to show and our the low approved Congress failed to stop it.

With the tornado destroying much of Moore, Oklahoma, many Americans are relying on FEMA. The Federal Emergency Management Agency is going to face stiff cutbacks come this summer. With a possible strong hurricane season, many FEMA and National Weather Service workers will be furloughed for a few days as well as the "scourge of the junk food media", the IRS will be affected.

The U.S. Postal Service is asking Congress to save the mail service by eliminating Saturday. Congress turned a blind eye.

Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood is leaving soon. But he gave the strong warning about the nation's crumbling infrastructure. We seen two bridges collapsed, a devastated city in Oklahoma, a rail line destroyed and many construction on highways grounded to a halt because of Congress.

So if we're to cut government in the ways of Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Senator Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma) to save this nation, then we're doomed!

The Republicans are screwing up this nation by stalling the president's agenda. The president won the election, and the mandate was set. The junk food media obsesses over Benghazi, the IRS or whatever else the Senators John McCain (R-Arizona) or Lindsey Graham's (R-South Carolina) whine about.

I will kindly stress that the real problem here in the United States. Demographics.

As the nation grows, so is our non-white population. President Barack Obama overwhelmingly won almost every demographic but the White working class.

The Republicans are going to end up the all White party.

Lawmakers off to another vacation. When they come back, there will be more talk about Benghazi, the IRS and repealing Obamacare. Of course, slight mentions of tornado relief, bridge repair and looming sequester cuts.

To piss off a government worker is one thing, but to allow lawmakers take vacations, work 132 days out of a year, and pass laws that may effect the nation as a whole. I just can't wait to see them rush to the ballot box to remove those politicos from Washington.

Republicans led us to the Great Recession. They won't get it through their manure filled heads that the key to growth is spending. We need to spend on infrastructure and innovation. We can't cut while the economy is rebounding.

But since this is the Black man talking to you, I guess you're not comfortable with it.

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.....

Is Obama "Mad" On Power?

President Barack Obama is facing strong opposition, criticism and never ending attacks from the Republicans. The president's Democratic allies are starting to show concern for him.

Sure, if you're a conservative vowing to see the first Black president get impeach by the low approved Congress.

But the real focus is on whether the president or Congress has been effective in getting things done.

The president hasn't got many of his nominees for federal post confirmed by the U.S. Senate. The president hasn't got any federal judges approved by the senate.

The president hasn't got many of his proposals passed lately. He is determined to get immigration reform passed. He still is working to get gun control back on the table. He is trying to figure out ways to get Congress to pass legislation to get people back to work.

I mean never in my day I have seen this much rancor from the political opposition. The Republican Party is failing the country yet again by holding committee hearings on these distractions.

Benghazi is a never-ending "I gotcha moment in counterterrorism!" The September 11, 2012 attack on a U.S. consulate killing four American diplomats (CIA operatives) is the "worse" incident since 9/11 according to Republicans. So instead focusing on how to prevent this from happening again, Republicans spent eight months trying to find "answers" to how the president mislead the nation. They're focusing on talking points and Hillary Clinton. They're using the dead as "props" for political gain.

The IRS scandal is another issue. The president doesn't have an official IRS chief since he's been in office.

The resigning IRS chief was a Bush appointed worker. Still the impact was felt through the "deliberate" targeting of conservative groups by IRS auditors. Since the Citizens United decision, there was flood of groups that were devoted to trying to stop the president from winning reelection.

The Associated Press scandal is another issue. The Republican Party claimed that the president and the Attorney General Eric Holder were deliberately leaking information about counter-terrorism. They were upset over the leaks being sent to the press. So when the Justice Department acts on closing up leaks, here comes the outrage from them.

I will tell you honestly, this have been a bad week for President Barack Obama.

The low approved Congress wasted time trying to repeal Obamacare for the umpteenth time.

The liberals are showing sympathy with the conservative agitators on the IRS and Associated Press scandals.

Why should we allow these "pathetic" issues continue?

Because it's the ugly side of politics. Whenever you're in the losing corner, you're bitter!

The Republicans are bitter and driven mad with their hatred of the first Black president. If you're not seeing this with your own two eyes, then there's no hope for you!

If President Barack Obama was mad on power as those in the conservative agitating media claim, how come it's these guys who threaten to use their "Second Amendment" rights upon the president?

How come the president's nominees and federal judge appointments get stalled and filibustered?

How come the president can't just use Executive Orders to get things done?

How come the president won reelection and the Republicans didn't capture the U.S. Senate?

It's not the president, mad on power! It's the Republicans, the greedmongers of corporate America, the religious zealots who push upon bigotry of those who are different to their faith. It's not president who threatens the American people, it's the Republican Party and its allies in the conservative movement.

These guys have the powerful voice in Loserville, King Hippo, the National Rifle Association, The Guy Who Throws Shit On The Wall, and these ridiculous Republican lawmakers rushing to cameras trying to outcrazy one another.

I am sick and tired of seeing John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Rand Paul, Michele Bachmann, Ted Cruz, Jim Inhofe, Louie Gohmert, Steve Stockman, Jason Chaffez, Marco Rubio, John McCain, Kelly Ayotte, Trent Franks, Tom Cotton, Darrell Issa and other Republicans who are quick to run to the cameras to whine about how they hate the president.

I bet you that for the next three weeks, this stuff will continue and then soon we'll have another mass shooting in a part of America! The junk food media (as usual) will cover it. Then all this crap will go away for now because the battle will once again shift to gun violence in America.

Of course, we'll have to blame someone right?

Republicans Float Impeachment (Again)!

If they can impeach Obama and remove him from office, I guess Joe Biden will be the 45th President!

Really, if this is the way to get revenge on President Barack Obama, then I realized that history repeats itself.

The conservative agitators in the junk food media are driven in agitation of the president, his allies and the media ignoring them. The junk food media has given them all the red meat issues they've wanted.

They've covered the Tea Party movement.

They've covered the Operation Fast & Furious scandal.

They've covered the BP Gulf Oil Spill.

They've covered the Republicans filibuster by Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky).

They've covered Benghazi.

They've covered Kermit Gossnel.

They've covered the IRS scandal.

They've covered the potential failures of Obamacare.

What more can the junk food media do for the agitators of the conservative movement?

Let me see, how about that word.... Call for the Article of Impeachment. Anybody? Impeachment?

The Republicans are floating around the word especially after the IRS scandal. The conservative media is lit ablaze over the Internal Revenue Service "targeting" conservative organizations for scrutiny.

The low approved Congress is expressing outrage at the agency and many Republicans are pointing the finger squarely at the president.

Republican lawmakers and conservatives are demanding an apology from President Barack Obama. Hence the word "apology". This was considered a negative word among the conservatives.

Go ahead, I dare you! President Barack Obama promised continuous campaigning to get the Democrats back into power.

As Barack Obama was sworn in , the conservative agitators in the junk food media claimed the president was a "Muslim terrorist who has Communists leanings". They claimed he was "apologizing for America" and "destroying the country" with his "teleprompter speeches". Of course, many conservatives still deny the fact the president is an American. They're are still some who believe that his "birth certificate" isn't legit.

Besides this nonsense, the Republicans are worried that Hillary Clinton may jump into the 2016 presidential race. The Republicans are slated to have another "weak field" of candidates.

Josh Green of Business Week reports that Republicans are fixing for a political showdown and they're determined to drive themselves right into a war with the president.

He wrote about a donor's meeting with celebrities. The president called upon his donors to help him push his agenda. The president noted that Loserville, Chalk E Becker, King Hippo and The Guy Who Throws Shit On The Wall are primarily the reasons to why things can't get done.

Constant gridlock has ruined the image of Congress.

Obama assured voters skeptical of his ability to work with Republicans in Congress that his reelection would “break the fever” of implacable obstruction and finally persuade the GOP to submit to the will of the voters. That prediction quickly proved wrong. Instead of breaking, the fever has spiked.

Last week, with the White House struggling to contain scandals from Benghazi to IRS snooping, it culminated in a chorus of Republican calls to impeach Obama. “Of all the great coverups in history, the Pentagon papers, Iran-Contra, Watergate, all the rest of them,” Republican Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma told a radio show host on Thursday, “this … is going to go down as most egregious coverup in American history.” Former Arkansas governor and GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee predicted, “This president will not fill out his full term.” South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham called Benghazi “Obama’s Watergate.”

Republicans like Congressman Steve Stockman (R-Texas) floating impeachment.

Right-wing calls to impeach Obama aren’t exactly new. (Salon has compiled 14 other instances.) But the combination of the Benghazi and IRS scandals has given them new force. So, presumably, has the eagerness of the Republican base to see such a fate befall the president they despise—a recent poll showed that half of Republicans favor impeachment.

The inclination of many liberals to fan the flames of impeachment has probably given oxygen to this crusade. Commentators from Jonathan Chait, a few years ago, to Michael Tomasky, just this morning, have predicted a Republican push for impeachment. And while none that I’m aware of has explicitly encouraged this push, many liberals privately view the prospect of a GOP impeachment attempt in the same way that Br’er Rabbit viewed getting tossed in the briar patch—as something that would quickly redound to their benefit, just as the impeachment of Bill Clinton ultimately hurt the GOP in the 1998 elections.

One obvious obstacle is that Democrats control the Senate. While the GOP-led House could initiate impeachment proceedings, they wouldn’t get much further. At least for now. Inhofe indicated, though, that the issue could “endure” and move forward if Republicans take back the Senate in 2014. The combination of all these factors—Republican legislators’ thirst to deliver Obama his comeuppance, pressure from the base, tacit liberal provocation—would suggest that the “fever” is likelier to go higher still than it is to subside.

Green's opinion piece shows the nation further evidence that Republicans are still having trouble trying to court minority voters. In the mind of a Black person, the way the Republicans are going at the president is like in their opinion, "racist!"

They can't understand that this overplay will be their undoing. For the first time in history, the Black voter turnout surpass the White vote. The Hispanic/Latino community supports the president 76%.

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina)  is one of the most annoying members of the Senate.

You're seeing the possible demise of the Republican Party. The party's outlook isn't looking good.

They may score political points with their base of extremists, but in the end, it's up to us the voter to see these clowns in the Republican Party voted out.

We can do it!

We got the power and we need to use it now!
