FBI Involved In Mississippi Man's Hanging!

Something is strange. What happened when the law discovered Otis Byrd hanging from a tree?

The state of Mississippi is rocked by the past. Otis Byrd, former convict was found in the woods hanging by a tree. The FBI are looking into this tragedy. Some on the racist right assume its a suicide while others believe it could be the work of extremists.

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

The FBI and local police fear that his death could stroke racial tension in the tiny town of Port Gibson.

Those unwanted circumstances could be extremists such as the Klan. 

The AP reporting that law is looking into the last places that Otis went to. One of those places was a casino. The Riverwalk Casino is located in Vicksburg about 14 miles from Port Gibson.

About 30 local, state, and federal authorities are on the ground. They are actively determining if this was a hate crime.

"Everybody wants answers and wants them quickly. We understand that," FBI Special Agent Don Alway told a crowd outside the Claiborne County Courthouse. "We are going to hold off on coming to any conclusions until the facts take us to a definitive answer."

The county coroner confirmed that the man found hanging from a white sheet Thursday was Otis Byrd, an ex-convict reported missing by his family more than two weeks ago. Byrd lived just 200 yards from the spot where his body was found, in a wooded area off a dirt road that ran behind his house.

Alway said investigators are interviewing Byrd's family and friends and searching his rental home and a storage unit for clues, and will not reveal any evidence along the way.

"We are trying to paint a picture of Byrd's life. We are trying to find out what was going on with him personally and professionally," he said.

Claiborne County Sheriff Marvin Lucas Sr. told The Associated Press earlier Friday that Byrd did not appear to have stepped off of anything in the area where he was found hanging from a tree limb about 12 feet high. His feet were dangling about two feet off the ground, and his hands were not bound, Lucas said.

"Life matters," Lucas told the crowd. "I commit to you, as the sheriff of Claiborne County, that I will not allow the shadows of the past to cast a shadow on the future."

The results of an autopsy by the Mississippi Crime Lab could take days; investigators expect to have preliminary information about the cause of death next week, Alway said. Byrd's body was released Friday to Rollins Funeral Home in Port Gibson, said Mississippi Department of Public Safety spokesman Warren Strain. An employee at Rollins said funeral arrangements will be made early next week.
Riverwalk Casino is located near Vicksburg.
Byrd worked on offshore oil rigs and enjoyed gambling in casinos in his off time after getting out of prison, where he served 26 years for fatally shooting a woman while robbing $101 from her convenience store in 1980.

He wasn't the type to commit suicide, friends and family said.

"He tried to turn his life around. He was going to church every Sunday," said his stepsister, Tracy Wilson. "Anybody could have done this. I just don't see him doing it to himself."

Lora McDaniel, a high school classmate who went to church with Byrd and his family, said "he always had a smile on his face. I just can't see him committing suicide."

"He was a quiet man. He didn't bother nobody," added Anita Smith, another high school classmate. "He had been out nine years and all of the sudden this happens to him? Impossible."

Smith said she is planning to participate in a march Monday in Port Gibson to protest Byrd's death.

Mississippi NAACP President Derrick Johnson suggested that it's too early for that.

"We do not want to rush to judgment. We just want to make sure there's a thorough federal, state and local investigation," Johnson said.

The hanging is being investigated by the FBI, the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division and the United States Attorney's office as well as the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation. These officials are on the scene to determine if it's a potential hate crime or other violation of federal law, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said.

Video surveillance was recovered showing Byrd at the Riverwalk Casino on March 2, Vicksburg Police Chief Walter Armstrong said.
Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) is calling upon the FBI to investigate this horrible tragedy.
"We didn't see anything of significance on the tape. He was just walking around the casino. We did not see him after that," Armstrong said.

Claiborne County sits on the bluffs of the Mississippi River, with Natchez to the south and Vicksburg to the north. A sign leading into Port Gibson, the county seat, says Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant declared the town "too beautiful to burn" during the Civil War. About 85 percent of the county's 9,250 residents are African-American.

Signs hanging above the main street say "Port Gibson. A Real Life Postcard." The town still boasts several stately, columned mansions that are either private homes or bed-and-breakfast inns, but is mostly dotted with modest houses and trailers in states of disrepair.

Port Gibson is in the district of U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, a Democrat and the only black member of Mississippi's congressional delegation. He issued a statement calling on the government to use "every resource available to bring swift justice" if foul play was involved.

"Given the history of the state, it is unavoidable that the hanging of a black man in Mississippi justifiably engenders deeply raw emotions," Thompson said.

Another Schocker!

One of the youngest members of Congress is out. Rep. Aaron Schock (R-IL)  is caught up in a federal investigation.

With another scandal in the midst, the party that claims themselves as the better governance has now another seat missing a member. The Michael Grimm fiasco has died down. Grimm got busted by the FBI after allegedly taking bribes. He once threatened to toss a reporter over the Capitol balcony.

Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) sparked a fire after he admitted he attended a White extremist event when he was a nobody.

He managed to skate by this scandal. Now here comes the third youngest member of Congress facing a huge scandal.

Young gun Aaron Schock (R-IL) decided to bounce before the Department of Justice serves him a meal ticket.

According to his official government website, Schock is who represents the 18th District of Illinois, a historic region of the country that is home to Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan. First elected to Congress in 2008, Rep. Schock was re-elected in 2010, 2012, and 2014. 
Weeper John Boehner (R-OH) can't govern his party. Rep. Aaron Schock (R-IL) can't control his spending.
Schock currently serves on the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, which is the oldest committee of the United States Congress and the chief tax-writing committee in the House of Representatives. In the 114th Congress, Schock was appointed to sit House Committee on the Budget. He concurrently holds a seat on the House Administration Committee. 

As a Senior Deputy Republican Whip, Schock is responsible for assisting House Republican leadership in crafting legislative strategy and floor votes. Schock is also a member of the House Republican Conference Advisory Committee. As the first Member of Congress born in the 1980s, 

Schock has raised the profile of young leaders in the Republican Party and has built a record of working on a bipartisan basis with young elected officials at the local, state and federal level. A principled legislator, Schock has forged alliances with conservative groups and Democratic colleagues alike. 
This is the lawmaker's Washington office.
In the 113th Congress, Schock sponsored legislation to expand religious liberty exemptions under Obamacare that sailed through the House of Representatives with no opposition. He has worked to pass legislation that helps surviving military families, strengthens the middle class, and creates economic opportunities for all Americans. He’s also sponsored legislation to provide charitable organizations with greater opportunities to raise funds and continue their important work of meeting community needs.

Schock is one of the media's favorite sons. He was featured in Men's Health showing off them abs.

But also he's gotten a lot of attention from the law after Citizens for Responsible Ethics in Washington reported that he's not clocking in his expenses. 

In February 2015, the Washington Post reported that Schock's congressional offices had been lavishly redecorated in a style inspired by the television show about English aristocrats, Downton Abbey.

From Wikipedia, the lawmaker's troubles began when he ducked and dodged. 

In response to that story, the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) file a complaint that alleged Schock may have received an improper gift. CREW's executive director Anne Weismann stated: "Again and again, Rep. Schock's seeming obsession with his image impedes his ability to conduct himself in [an] ethical manner."

Schock dismissed the criticism with the statement "Haters gonna hate", which was in turn criticized for its apparent flippancy. Schock later stated he intended to pay the decorator. Schock had previously spent campaign money on workout DVDs.
A real snow job.
Further media scrutiny of congressional expenditure reports showed that Schock had spent over a $100,000 in government funds on office decorating and renovations between January 2009 and late 2014, mostly during his first term. Other media reported Schock had charged thousands of dollars for private flights, legal expenses, new cars, tickets to the Super Bowl and Country Music Awards, as well as cufflinks, massage, "gold equipment" and cigars.

 to his government-funded office account. The Associated Press accessed the location metadata on Schock's Instagram photos and correlated it with private flight records to identify flights that did not correspond to his campaign finance disclosures. In response, Schock's office stated it had begun an internal review of the reimbursements.

An aide to Congressman Schock resigned after it was revealed the aide had made racist remarks on Facebook, calling for people to "gentrify" black neighborhoods and comparing black passersby to "animals" from the National Zoo.

In March 2015, further exposures of spending and disclosure irregularities, showed that Schock had accepted money from an outside group, the Global Poverty Project, to cover the cost of bringing a photographer on an all-expenses-paid trip to India organized to discuss sanitation and access to clean water. 

The Associated Press also reported that much of Schock's personal wealth had been built with the assistance of political donors.

Prominent conservative commentators began calling for Schock's replacement.

The conservative magazine National Review called him "a crook" and stated: "Politics shouldn’t be a ticket to a celebrity lifestyle on the public's dime. For a man who has enjoyed such a short and undistinguished career, Illinois's Representative Aaron Schock (R.) has sure packed in a lot of corruption."

On March 17, 2015, Schock announced his resignation from Congress, effective March 31

Schock, insurgent Jason Amash (R-MI), insurgent Lee Zedlin (R-NY), insurgent Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-WA), insurgent Jason T. Smith (R-MO), insurgent Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-FL), insurgent Ron DeSantis (R-FL), Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), and Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) are the youngest members of Congress.

Stallmigo Tom Cotton (R-AK) is the youngest member of the Senate. 

He is the only member under 40.

Conservative Outrage Over NY Times Burning The Bush Out!

Former president George W. Bush was in Selma for historic event. The racist right upset that he was brush out. They're upset that Bush and President Barack Obama interacted with Rev. Perm.


They're outraged because the New York Times couldn't fit the former in.

George W. Bush, former first lady Laura and Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA, Majority Leader) were in attendance, Of course there lawmakers  and agitators were there. The most notable were Attorney General Eric Holder, Rev. Perm, Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) and Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ).

What got the folks over at FalseVolt, Breitfart, Newsclusters and The Daily Nothing pissed off was the "deliberate" brush out of Bush and McCarthy.

The Times was trying bias to the former and Majority Leader.

Now you know how conservatives look at the media. They would take a foreign source that got its source from an anonymous foreign source over American outlets.

You see how reactionary these people are.

Bush isn't the president. Barack Obama is. They're sworn enemy.

The complaint, courtesy of The Daily Nothing. The Selma March included the president, Rev. Perm, Holder but missing from the photo, though only a few people down to the right, were former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura. The Times also focused quite a bit of their story on the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, even though the local and federal investigations into that event found race had zero role in it and they refused to bring charges.

For their front page, the Times curiously chose a picture that did not show the entire front line of marchers, choosing instead to leave the Bushes on the cutting room floor.

Anyway, I am not wasting too much time covering this. These agitators can't get over the fact that President Barack Obama is in the White House. They hate the fact he's even in there.

It's about RACE not about politics.
The First Family and Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) got the front. Conservatives outraged that G.W. Bush got the back.
Republicans and their racist right allies are wasted space in America. Eventually that will be phased out.

The younger generation are tolerant of LGBT, interracial marriage, religious freedom, marijuana legalization and the safety net.

The older generation is what Republicans relish on. They want more looser gun laws, restrictive voting rights, restrictions on women's rights, restrictions on immigration and religious intolerance.

This is why the world should never take American conservatives seriously. They too damn immature.

They can't understand that the media is free. The lefties hate how Loserville operates. But no one is trying to silence them. You have the right to change the channel, avoid picking up the paper, never click on the link or visiting the blog. You have a freaking choice.

Why get upset over a decision you decided to take consideration into?

It's click bait, America.

Conservative Outrage Over Obama's Speech In Selma!



The Craigslist of conservative agitation spotlights The Weekly Standard article detailing President Barack Obama's speech in Selma, Alabama. He and the First Family are in the Alabama town showing solidarity. The 50th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday is being held and many civil rights leaders, Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) and outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder are there.

The outrage meter comes from the big bold title "We're the slaves who built (sic) White House".

You got to admit that a historical event is now turned into a partisan escapade. The racist right goes right to town to claim that the president is a racist. The president doesn't love America. Blah, blah, blah, blah!

Good thing he doesn't care what the carnival barkers think of him?

The words in Obama's commencement of that horrible day in American history has driven the racist right crazy.

As explained in the 2012 post "Cut The Bullshit: You Conservatives Need Obama To Sell Your Stupid Books", this agitator relies on racial stories. Without them, he would just be a minor player in the political field. 

Most of the news stories that are linked through this website attracts some of the most extreme members of society.

No matter how the story is found, his imprint makes a buzz worthy story. He takes pride in his work.

Despite many who feel his impact isn't going to sway any potential election, this agitator ignores his critics and keeps his fingers crossed. The agitator is hoping he'll activate his infamous siren for a juicy scandal involving the president. 

This website openly endorses stories that appeal to White supremacists, radical Christian fundamentalists, and ill-informed conservatives who all have a bone to pick against Obama. Those ill-informed conservatives are usually the birthers who refuse to believe the president's citizenship or hostile conservatives who believe Obama is a Communist.

Some conservatives think the president is an idiot. Of course, these are the people who couldn't finish a complete sentence. Conservatives can thank the Craigslist of conservative agitation when he finds pictures of President Barack Obama and use them in negative light.

Read some of the comment section online. Anything that is linked through this website usually has a word vomit that involves Obama. 

Notice that idiot can't even post a complete sentence... That's how misleading this asshole is!

Yeah, it's true. Slaves did build the White House and the U.S. Capitol. 

And voting rights is extremely important. The Republicans are trying to gut voting rights so they can build the last dynasty of White extremism. The very same extremists who flood comment sections (with hate in their hearts) in protest of civil rights, gay rights, immigrant rights and religious freedom.

About the Selma march:

Wikipedia puts it in simple words.

In the summer of 1964, a sweeping injunction issued by local Judge James Hare barred any gathering of three or more people under sponsorship of SNCC, SCLC, or DCVL, or with the involvement of 41 named civil rights leaders. This injunction temporarily halted civil rights activity until Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. defied it by speaking at Brown Chapel on January 2, 1965. He had been invited by local leaders.

Beginning in January 1965, SCLC and SNCC initiated a revived Voting Rights Campaign designed to focus national attention on the systematic denial of black voting rights in Alabama, and particularly Selma. Blacks had followed a campaign to register, thwarted by subjective tests administered by white registrars. More than 3,000 African Americans had been arrested, there was police violence against them, and economic retaliation. Jimmie Lee Jackson was killed in a cafe in nearby Marion after state police broke up a peaceful protest in the town. He was unarmed.

Activists planned a larger, more public march, from Selma to the state capital of Montgomery, to publicize their cause. It was initiated and organized by SCLC's Director of Direct Action, James Bevel. This march represented one of the political and emotional peaks of the modern civil rights movement. On March 7, 1965, approximately 600 civil rights marchers departed Selma on U.S. Highway 80, heading east to the capital. After they passed over the crest of the Edmund Pettus Bridge and left the boundaries of the city six blocks away, they were confronted by state troopers and county sheriff's deputies, who attacked them using tear gas and billy clubs, and drove them back to Selma. Because of the brutal attacks, this became known as "Bloody Sunday." It was covered by national press and television news, reaching many American and international homes.

Two days after the first march, on March 9, 1965, Martin Luther King, Jr. led a symbolic march to the bridge. By then local activists and residents had been joined by hundreds of protesters from across the country, including numerous clergy and nuns. Whites made up one-third of the marchers. That day King pulled the marchers back from confrontation with troops. But, that night white minister James Reeb from Boston was attacked and killed by white attackers in Selma.

King and other civil rights leaders filed to get court protection for a third, larger-scale march from Selma to Montgomery, the state capital. Frank Minis Johnson, Jr., the Federal District Court Judge for the area, decided in favor of the demonstrators, saying:

The law is clear that the right to petition one's government for the redress of grievances may be exercised in large groups...and these rights may be exercised by marching, even along public highways.

—Frank Johnson

On March 21, 1965, a Sunday, approximately 3,200 marchers departed for Montgomery. Marching in the front row, with King, were Rev. Ralph Abernathy and Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel. They walked 12 miles per day, and slept in nearby fields. The federal government provided protection by military troops. Thousands of people joined them along the way. By the time the marchers reached the capitol four days later on March 25, their strength had swelled to around 25,000 people. Their moral campaign had attracted thousands more people from across the country.

The events at Selma helped increase public support for the cause; later that year the U.S. Congress passed the Voting Rights Act of 1965, an effort whose bill was introduced, supported and signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson. It provided for federal oversight and enforcement of voting rights for all citizens in state or jurisdictions where patterns of under-representation showed discrimination against certain populations, historically ethnic minorities.

Facebook Threats Lead To Shooting!



I've taken a break from Facebook. I am not ashamed or worried about people "dropping me".

The past month has been miserable. I've been coping with a lot of things. Some are self-inflicted and others are just consequences of my naive trust for users and abusers.

I am tired of looking at Facebook. All that crap from my "friends" and family, has gotten out of hand. I am tired of looking at their walls or updates.

I've told the good readers of Journal de la Reyna in 2013, that Facebook is destined for a downfall.

It's a matter of time before you will log out and find the next social media sensation.

I mean c'mon. Seriously, how many friends do you really know online?

I know "thousands" of people. But I am close to only one person. ME!

I am reclusive and often times a social outcast. I don't hide my feelings towards certain people and feel that being the dreaded "nice guy" spurns me with nothing but failure and resent towards others.

I've been hurt too many times by people and some of the women I've dated. I've kicked my best friends to the curb. They were useless.

I will continue to associate with people but at a close distance.

Yeah, the social media is getting boring. I spend way too much time online. I got to find ways to break myself of the social media obsession. The social media includes the video streaming, the online dating and blogs.

I am a part of the social media. Me and S. Baldwin have done it for years. I don't think I'll stop blogging online. But maybe I will keep my social media intake to a low.

Stay focus to Journal de la Reyna and help push us into the mainstream.

So I'll post occasionally on Facebook. I will "like" some of my friends postings.

I will tweet some things online. I mean Twitter isn't one of the most frequent places I go to.

I will share a photo or two on Instagram. But I am going to stop following Snoop Dogg. He's posting so much stuff, it's kind of annoying at times. And I am a big fan of the hip-hop icon....

I will cautiously respond to some request on POF, OKCupid, Badoo, and Tinder. Not every woman is truthful on their profiles. About a majority of these profiles are fake. The online dating websites are trying their best to make money off the lonely and desperate. They'll bait you and rope you into a monthly subscription and you'll still be single looking for love.

"I am not a second choice..." to quote my lovely friend name Jordan.

Now back to the subject matter here. Facebook becomes the center of controversy. A group of teens were threatening each other online and wanted to make this brawl into a viral sensation. It didn't go out like they've planned.
Kierra'onna Rice. The price of fame kills this teen.
The victims brought their fists. The suspect brought a gun. And some paid the price for fame.

In Birmingham, Kierra'onna Rice paid the price. The Alabama teen was accompanied with a bunch of ignorant teens. They were witnessing the fight in a park. They wanted to film it but it quickly turned awry when

This feud started with a fight three weeks ago that ended with Rice and several other girls agreeing to meet in a local park for a physical fight. They tipped off others through Facebook to meet up and wanted to settle business.

"Fights on the street are not fair and are extremely unpredictable," he said. "You're agreeing to accepting the harm that may take place to you and others."

Two male suspects began shooting soon after the girls arrived at the park.

"They took it upon themselves to fire recklessly into a crowd," he said.

According to Edwards, there is nothing so far to indicate that the shooting was planned.

Two suspects ages 17 and 19 have been arrested and were identified by witnesses as the shooters. Police will release their names once formal charges have been filed.

Rice is the second 14-year-old homicide victim in Birmingham in the last few weeks.

Edwards said that police are seeing a connection between teenagers and guns, causing "big concerns" among officers.

"We're starting to see a lot of teens armed and extremely dangerous," he said. "We are starting to see them become more violent. They're using guns to solve their issues.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Kierra'onna Rice.

Weeper's Creepers!

The weeper appears on CBS to bitch about the president.

GOP Sundays continues to be fixture for the Republicans. They appear more than the Democrats.

And on these programs, Republicans are bitching and blaming as usual. They have control of Congress and yet they can't get along. They rely on the Democrats to bail them out of tough spots.

Yet, they appear on these programs to sit the blame on Democrats for "doing nothing" and being the party of "no".

The agitators are discussing the results of CPAC, terrorism and funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

This is by far the worst legislative body to ever hold power. The Republicans are in serious trouble.

The insurgents are not willing to pass legislation without fingering President Barack Obama in the eye. They rather let the country suffer in order to prevent the president from getting things done.

The American people gave the Republicans an opportunity to do things and yet they've already put it in trouble. The junk food media has allowed them to get a pass on most of their stupidity.

The Department of Homeland Security will be funded for a few days.

House Weeper John Boehner (R-OH), Racist Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) and Douche Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) appeared on the GOP Sunday news programs. Insurgent Jim Jordan (R-OH) was on CNN.

Each of these lawmakers were pointing fingers at President Barack Obama over the possible DHS shutdown.

They are trying to stop the president's executive order on immigration. The extremist wing is trying to prevent nominations and bills from being passed because they oppose the president.

Instead of governance, it's pure politics and utter stupidity from the Republicans.

Boehner appears on CBS with John Dickerson.

GOP Insurgents Partying Like Rock Stars!

Insurgent lawmaker Blake Farenthold (R-TX) caught up in a real scandal. It's not his pajamas.

Paging Melanie Sloan. Paging Melaine Sloan.


You're needed to once again uproot the corrupt lawmakers in Washington. I got two of them the junk food media has focused on recently.

Ms. Sloan is the CEO of the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. Her organization tracks the money and corrupt lawmakers in Congress. The organization also follows governors and state lawmakers as well. See Oregon's former Democratic governor for example.

Congressmen Blake Farenthold (R-TX) and Aaron Schock (R-IL) are in the limelight.

I ignored this clown Farenthold for a moment. I remember he wanted to arrest Attorney General Eric Holder for not providing enough access to the failed Fast & Furious ATF gun run scandal.

Farenthold is a member of the insurgency. He's a strong supporter of its "SAY NO TO O" strategy!

He's caught up in a personal scandal. One being his pajamas and his bunch of hot girls. Some of the insurgent's funds went to a website called blowme.com

Lawmaker Aaron Schock (R-IL)
Another being an alleged sexual harassment lawsuit with one of staffers.

Schock was one of the youngest members of Congress. He's heavily covered by the local and national junk food media. He is one of the most outgoing members. He still parties like a 20 year old.

The 33 year old lawmaker is under fire for his staffer posting racial insults about his neighbors and the lavish spending by Schock.

Schock's communication director was told to shake after he called a Black neighbor an animal and the neighborhood being a zoo.


His office looks like Downtown Abbey according to some. He hired a woman to do his office and failed to disclose how much it cost.

Also he's being targeted by the out party. Since Schock is a single man and dressing like a gay man, the out party is trying to dig dirt on him.

It's kind of funny that with Trey Radel, Michael Grimm and Vance McAllister being in the limelight for their shortcomings, one could wonder if the Republicans are trying to get rid of the problems before this stuff surfaces in the 2016 U.S. presidential elections.

Righties: Obama's A Greasy Muslim Israeli Hating ....Uh, What Else!

I pledge allegiance to the United States, not Israel. I don't support foreign leaders. I support our president.

The freedom of speech, the internet and the most sensationalist things to come from the racist right.

A few lawmakers, a few conservative agitators and of course the word vomit of their supporters makes the list of controversy today.




























And like me, these people are sitting in the comfort of their homes saying stuff they come to regret say if the junk food media spotlights in the public.

Bryan Fischer "Fired" From American Family Association!

Extremist was bumped as controversial group's spokesperson.

Controversial hatemonger Bryan Fischer was bumped from the American Family Association. Only as their spokesperson in media appearances. He still continues to be an employee of the AFA under their radio and television media.

This dude is an example of the freedom of speech that promotes potential violence towards non-White and LGBT individuals.

Reince Priebus and other members of the Republican National Committee were being hosted by the AFA on a trip to Israel. This trip was going to be awkward. The Southern Poverty Law Center broke the news that Fischer was going to be sponsoring the trip.

Those in the LGBT community hate this fucktard. This guy once compared gay marriage to the Holocaust.

Fischer is notorious for having some––well, let’s not sugarcoat it––crazy views on gays, “homofascists,” more crazy views on gays, and… yeah, basically a lot of gay stuff.

This guy would also aim his attacks at Blacks, Muslims and immigrants. He is a honorary member of the racist right.

The American Family Association (AFA) is a United States non-profit organization that promotes fundamentalist Christian values.

It opposes same-sex marriage, pornography, and abortion.

It also takes a position on a variety of other public policy goals and has lobbied against the Employee Free Choice Act.

It was founded in 1977 by Donald Wildmon as the National Federation for Decency and is headquartered in Tupelo, Mississippi.

The AFA defined itself as "a Christian organization promoting the biblical ethic of decency in American society with primary emphasis on television and other media," later switching their stated emphasis to "moral issues that impact the family."

It engages in activism efforts, including boycotts, buycotts, action alert emails, publications on the AFA's web sites or in the AFA Journal, broadcasts on American Family Radio, and lobbying.

The organization is accredited by the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) and posted a 2011 budget of over US$16 million.

AFA owns 200 American Family Radio stations in 33 states, seven affiliate stations in seven states, and one affiliate TV station KAZQ TV) in New Mexico.

AFA has been listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as of November 2010 for the "propagation of known falsehoods" and the use of "demonizing propaganda" against LGBT people.

Republicans are considered intrusive, inclusive and hateful. Now the cocaine is 85% WHITE and 15% EVERYTHING ELSE. The Republican Party is White like cocaine and it's unfortunate the party is not getting any better.

Who Are The Radicals Here In The U.S.?



The Raw Story reports that a Muslim peace rally in Texas was interrupted by protesters who screamed at the top of their lungs that the Islamic faith is scum of the earth. They even threw the first Black president into the mix. They called him a NIGGER who sympathizes with them.

So who's the real radicals?

The people who practice Islam who are American citizens or the White men who shout at them!
A great American.
The conference, entitled “Stand With the Prophet Against Terror and Hate,” was being being put on as a fundraiser for a Chicago-based Islamic group, Sound Vision, and approximately about 500 attendees were expected, reports NBC-DFW.

Holding signs saying “You are not Americans. Don’t fly our flag,” protesters complained about the Garland Independent School District allowing the group to use the facility.

“We pay our taxes to that school, and I don’t want them here,” one woman, Lavona Martindale said.

Another protester, identified as Greg McKinley, said, “We’re here to stand up for the American way of life from a faction of people who are trying to destroy us.”

McKinley added, “If they want to live their life like the middle east, they can go back to the middle east.”

“I want for people to see that we are kind peaceful people,” explained conference attendee Page Spence. “We’re not here to fight, we’re not here to argue. We’re just here to show that we’re Americans too.”

A young woman, part of a group of counter-protesters, explained, “People are here to stand up with the Prophet against hate and intolerance.”

Police authorities beefed up their presence at the event following earlier protests at a Garland School Board meeting, where board members were told by one man,”I certainly don’t think you need people there who want to destroy this country.”

A  spokesman for the school district said they do not discriminate against facility renters based upon religion.

Alabama Family Getting A Move N****r Notice!

Alabama sheriffs are investigating a complaint filed by an African American family. They claim that their home was vandalized and spray painted with the ugly racial slur. It read MOVE NIGGER NOW!

Again, I don't want to jump to conclusions about these type of stories. Sure, this is horrific for a family to see this type of stuff happen. The peace and tranquility of your home being destroyed by the low lives of American ignorance.

The homeowner said she was at home with her granddaughter Wednesday night when she heard glass breaking at the front of the house. She called 911 and deputies arrived to find three windows broken by rocks and a racial slur painted on the garage door. The homeowner said she did not know why anyone would target her.

Yeah, mindset are deep rooted in some parts of the state. But does this ignorance play out inside the suburbs?



Limestone County is a part of the Huntsville-Decatur metro area. Limestone County is located in Northern Alabama.

Elkmont, Alabama is a town of 470 people, The racial makeup of the town was 83.40% White, 15.11% Black or African American, 1.06% from other races, and 0.43% from two or more races. 1.28% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.

This is America in 2015.

GOP House Whip Steve Scalise: My Bad!

File:Steve Scalise.jpg
Whip up a storm, Steve Scalise got some heat after bloggers unearth the Republican lawmaker speaking at a White extremist rally.

Republican lawmaker from Louisiana who is the current Whip is doing damage control after it was revealed that he attended a conference for White Supremacists.

Representative Steve Scalise (R-LA, Majority Whip) is under fire after a blogger unearthed some damning information about the lawmaker when he was a nobody.

Stephen Joseph "Steve" Scalise (born October 6, 1965) is the current United States House of Representatives Majority Whip and representative for Louisiana's 1st congressional district, serving since 2008. He is a member of the Republican Party and the chairman of the 170-member conservative House Republican Study Committee.

Hey Representative Will Hurd (R-TX), Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) and Representative Mia Love (R-UT), are you going to call out this Republican lawmaker for his past transgressions?

These are the three elected Black lawmakers who will caucus with the Republicans.

Screen Shot 2014-12-28 at 5.28.41 AM
Blogger busted lawmaker.
The conservative lawmaker has been in office since a special election in 2008. He was given the job of being the Majority Whip after Representative Kevin McCarthy (R-CA, Majority Leader) got a promotion.

McCarthy replaced Eric Cantor after he was usurped by a Dave Brat (R-VA) an insurgant lawmaker.

Scalise in 2002 spoke at EURO, a White nationalist conference held by former Klan leader David Duke.

Obviously, Duke will tell you that Scalise is knee-deep. He knows who went to the conference. And Duke will tell you that the excuses from the lawmaker are bullshit.
David Duke is the professional bigot. He will wear a suit and tie while spreading anti-Black, anti-Muslim, anti-Latino and anti-Jewish rhetoric.
Scalise repudiated Duke and his organization by saying he was unaware of their beliefs. He was there explaining about the high taxes and government spending. He claims that this was a bad staffing issue and whatever.

In the final day of the year, I will cover the wrap up. This may not make the wrap up but it will make the 2015 list of controversies sparked by the Republican/Insurgent majority.

Since this is a story about race and conservatives, I will not allow comments. I am assured that our regular will find the oranges and sell them as apples.

So instead of giving him an opportunity to word vomit about Democrats, President Barack Obama and others who aren't Scalise, I will post it and not worry about it!

Oh I forgot!

Since that worst conservative agitator is so obsessed with associations,will that annoying agitator call out his good ol' buddy Congressman Steve Scalise's hateful past? Or should we tie this annoying conservative agitator to this?

The Big Bank Theory Sacks The President's Address!


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Don't worry, the message will be heard!

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

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

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

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.

Conservative Outrage Over Mary Landrieu's Comments About Race In The South!

Worthless Congressman Bill Cassidy (R-LA) takes on worthless Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA). The insurgent candidate Rob Maness is in this race too. Hopefully the Republicans don't allow the insurgent siphon off votes from Cassidy.

The inept Republicans lined up their choice for U.S. Senate in Louisiana. The establishment candidate U.S. Representative Bill Cassidy is trying to uproot embattled Democratic senator Mary Landrieu.

Both candidates suck. Landrieu for being an opportunist. Cassidy for being part of this gridlock machine that has stalled Washington, DC. Both are useless politicos and they're fighting for a victory in the Pelican State.

A few things matters. Democrats are counting on the Black vote, the Hispanic vote, young voters, and women. These blocks are usually in favor of Democrats. The Republicans are hoping that these groups sit it out this election.

With less than three days to the U.S. Midterm Election, the racist right and the Republican Party will hope that enough White voters turnout in mass to vote the Democrats out.

One thing I've noticed in the Wikipedia is the Republican slur Obamacare. The actual term is Patient Protection and Affordable Healthcare Act and Landrieu supported it. The inept Republicans want to tie everything around the neck of Landrieu and President Barack Obama.

Now you know those folks in the South aren't hip to the president. Alabama, Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Georgia, South Carolina, parts of Tennessee and Kentucky are really critical of the president. Matter of fact, some of the most offensive things to hit your crazy old uncle's email comes directly from Republicans and some of the Democrats from these regions.

Landrieu in an interview with GOP Sundays/Obama News moderator Chuck Todd told a sad but true statement of constituents in the rural South.

"To be very, very honest with you, the South has not always been the friendliest place to African-Americans. It’s been a difficult time for the president to present himself in a positive light as a leader. It’s not always been a good place for women to be able to present ourselves, it’s more of a conservative place."

Yeah, Landrieu should have mentioned the Hurricane Katrina fiasco. You know the folks over at Loserville and most of the junk food media referred to Americans as "refugees".

Cassidy would go to friendly territory. He would talk to Megyn the Outrage Princess about how outraged he was to hear that. And matter of fact, he would say that she's desperate and hoping to capitalize off the "race card".

"I wish she would focus more on policies instead of insulting. [You know] if she actually lived here, [she would know that] we're not racist, we just have common sense," Cassidy concluded.

She would later state:

"The main reason the President has struggled here is because his energy policies are not in line with the people of Louisiana. We are a pro-drilling, pro-oil, gas state. The offshore moratorium was extremely unpopular and, in my opinion, wholly unwarranted. It made a lot of people angry and put many businesses at risk. In addition, the south has not always been the friendliest or easiest place for African Americans to advance, and it’s been a difficult place for women to be recognized as the leaders we are. Everyone knows this is the truth, and I will continue to speak the truth even as some would twist my words seeking political advantage."

You know I've read the comments from the Huffington Post. Some on Facebook openly agreed with Landrieu. On top of that Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal was attacking the statements.

"[Senator Mary Landrieu's comments we're] a major insult … to the people of Louisiana."

This is coming from a person who's real name is Piyush. 

Anyway, how you feel about it. Leave us a name and message and we'll be happy to respond.

The race has Landrieu in a slight. Landrieu 44.5% to Cassidy 44.3%. If the candidates fail to reach 51% of the vote, they will have to face a runoff election. I conclude this as a TOSS UP.

The Inept GOP Will Take Control Of The Senate!

President Barack Obama and these two old geezers. One is the majority leader! The Republicans WILL LIKELY take control of the Congress this coming session,

U.S. Senate Race outlook is looking good for the inept Republican Party.

It's time to give you the rundown of what's going on! In a few weeks, you may see democracy in action. The lousy House of Representatives will continue to be in the hold of Republicans. But the razor thin Democratic majority in the Senate will soon come to an end. The Democrats are already down about their chances of holding control. The president's so toxic this year, the Republicans and their racist right allies have been very motivated to send the Democrats back to the minority.

Again my predictions are stated as so, the Republicans will have 52 seats and the Democrats will have 48. The Republicans will take back the majority in Congress.

America get ready for two more years of gridlock and partisan antics from the president and the Republicans.

But this time the Republicans will be trying to impeach the president over Obamacare, Benghazi, Fast & Furious, the IRS, Black Panthers, Trayvon Martin, Beau Bergdahl, ISIS, Ebola, and the executive orders.

The Most Important Races In This Election.

Alaska - Lean Republican (held by Democrat)
Arkansas - Lean Republican (held by Democrat)

GOP Senate Chances Run Seven!

The turtle could be the next Senate majority leader! The Weeper of the House and the Turtle both opposed the president's policies and done relatively nothing. But they're offered the opportunity to destroy the economy again!

It seems like all this rabble rousing and blatant disrespect paid off for the president's most fiercest critics.

If the election was held today, the Democrats would be swept out of political office again!

I predict that the U.S. Senate will be in the control of the Republicans. The Republicans will gain seven senate seats. Enough for them to take back a razor thin majority in the U.S. Senate.

Republicans are more motivated in the south and west.

Do you believe the Republicans are motivate enough to take back the Senate?

Secession Fever!

Spell check.

I wonder how many people call me by phone to ask me how I feel about the United States in general.

I can tell you that I am not satisfied with the Congress right now under the leadership of Republicans in the House and Democrats in the Senate. I am somewhat disappointed with President Barack Obama because even after he trounced perennial loser Mitt Romney, I was thinking that he could bring his bully pulpit to the insurgency.

I thought the president would finally put the brakes on Loserville and other critics of his policies.

Alas, all we hear is the same old circle of right wing agitation. From Obamacare to Lois Lerner. The racist right has a monopoly on the junk food media. Don't listen to their cries of "liberal media" bias. 

For way too long, I've hear one or more things that makes the case against the president.

When that's concluded, then you hear talk about  polls, birth certificates, Benghazi, ISIS and illegals. Then when that's over, then you hear talk about the liberal media, political correctness, Black thugs and the most frequently used phrase, "I want my country back!"

I Want My Country Back! That is the universal pledge of dissent by both the right and the left.

White folks in the insurgency are most commonly using that phrase when they gather near highways posting upside down American flags, offensive signs towards Obama and carrying firearms in the public. Once in a while a Confederate flag or anti-gubmint protester may come into the fold.

Reuters reports that 1 in 4 Americans (roughly 25%) want to break away from the United States.

Do I want to join this movement because I am mad at the gubmint? 

No.

Some 23.9 percent of Americans polled from Aug. 23 through Sept. 16 said they strongly supported or tended to support the idea of their state breaking away, while 53.3 percent of the 8,952 respondents strongly opposed or tended to oppose the notion.

The urge to sever ties with Washington cuts across party lines and regions, though Republicans and residents of rural Western states are generally warmer to the idea than Democrats and Northeasterners, according to the poll.
The kookspiracy of gubmit control drives this.
Anger with President Barack Obama's handling of issues ranging from healthcare reform to the rise of Islamic State militants drives some of the feeling, with Republican respondents citing dissatisfaction with his administration as coloring their thinking.

But others said long-running Washington gridlock had prompted them to wonder if their states would be better off striking out on their own, a move no U.S. state has tried in the 150 years since the bloody Civil War that led to the end of slavery in the South.

"I don't think it makes a whole lot of difference anymore which political party is running things. Nothing gets done," said Roy Gustafson, 61, of Camden, South Carolina, who lives on disability payments. "The state would be better off handling things on its own."

Scottish unionists won by a wider-than-expected 10-percentage-point margin.

Falling public approval of the Obama administration, attention to the Scottish vote and the success of activists who accuse the U.S. government of overstepping its authority - such as the self-proclaimed militia members who flocked to Nevada's Bundy ranch earlier this year during a standoff over grazing rights - is driving up interest in secession, experts said.

"It seems to have heated up, especially since the election of President Obama," said Mordecai Lee, a professor of governmental affairs at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee, who has studied secessionist movements.

Really, I thought because they don't like that "MONKEY" in the White House. Obviously after the trouncing of perennial loser Mitt Romney, some in the racist right took to the social blogs to call the president a "NIGGER", "SUBHUMAN" and "TRAITOR". 
Seceding is a White Extremist wet dream.
It's not about policies! It's mostly about the president's race. Because this same old song was done a few years back when the racist right was petitioning for secession. It was being egged on by the kookspiracy nut and that blog that throws shit to the wall. And we can't forget the right wing agitators who relish their filth in the junk food media.

Reuters added that Republicans were more inclined to support the idea, with 29.7 percent favoring it compared with 21 percent of Democrats.

Brittany Royal, a 31-year-old nurse from Wilkesboro, North Carolina, said anger over the "Obamacare" healthcare reform law made her wonder if her state would be better off on its own.

"That has really hurt a lot of people here, myself included. My insurance went from $40 a week for a family of four up to over $600 a month for a family of four," said Royal, a Republican. "The North Carolina government itself is sustainable. Governor (Pat) McCrory, I think he has a better healthcare plan than President Obama."

By region, the idea was least popular in New England, the cradle of the Revolutionary War, with just 17.4 percent of respondents open to pulling their state out.

It was most popular in the Southwest, where 34.1 percent of respondents back the idea.

That region includes Texas, where an activist group is calling the state's legislature to put the secession question on a statewide ballot. One Texan respondent said he was confident his state could get by without the rest of the country.

"Texas has everything we need. We have the manufacturing, we have the oil, and we don't need them," said Mark Denny, a 59-year-old retiree living outside Dallas on disability payments.
One idiot is pushing the notion.
Denny, a Republican, had cheered on the Scottish independence movement.

"I have totally, completely lost faith in the federal government, the people running it, whether Republican, Democrat, independent, whatever," he said.

Even in Texas, some respondents said talk about breaking away was more of a sign of their anger with Washington than evidence of a real desire to go it alone. Democrat Lila Guzman, of Round Rock, said the threat could persuade Washington lawmakers and the White House to listen more closely to average people's concerns.

"When I say secede, I'm not like (former National Rifle Association president) Charlton Heston with my gun up in the air, 'my cold dead hands.' It's more like – we could do it if we had to," said Guzman, 62. "But the first option is, golly, get it back on the right track. Not all is lost. But there might come a point that we say, 'Hey, y'all, we're dusting our hands and we're moving on.'"

This stuff comes in part of the recent news of an independence vote by Scotland. That vote failed and drove the insurgency back to the folds. There was an insurgent named Alex Solmand who led the way for this to happen. It failed and he will disappear from the limelight.

McConnell: Give Us The Keys And We'll Drive It Over The Cliff!

The Kentucky Turtle speaks to a crowd about more gridlock if he become the head of the terrarium. 

Embattled Republican leader opens his mouth again giving his challenger ammunition.

The pork and barrel continues to spill into the state of Kentucky. The turtle and Rand Paul, the two Republican Stallmigos have relatively done nothing other than become a huge headache to President Barack Obama.

He was sucking on the toes of David and Charles Koch. The embattled politico was telling a dinner audience that he's willing to do anything to get that sugar from those billionaire libertarian activists.
David and Charles Koch are billionaire philanthropists who donate to the Republican Party and sometimes the Democratic Party. The liberals view them as vile and evil billionaires.
The New York Times report that a liberal blog got wind of the conversation. McConnell told the mid-June gathering in Dana Point, Calif., that if the Republicans gained control of the Senate and retained control of the House in November, Congress could use the budget process to force the president to roll back his priorities.

“In the House and Senate, we own the budget,” he said, explaining that the initial blueprint on taxes and spending does not require the president’s signature. “So what does that mean? That means that we can pass the spending bill. And I assure you that in the spending bill, we will be pushing back against this bureaucracy by doing what’s called placing riders in the bill. No money can be spent to do this or to do that. We’re going to go after them on health care, on financial services, on the Environmental Protection Agency, across the board. All across the federal government, we’re going to go after it.”

The channel released audio of three other Republicans in tough Senate races — Representative Tom Cotton of Arkansas, Representative Cory Gardner of Colorado and Joni Ernst, a state senator in Iowa — all of whom praised Charles G. and David H. Koch and the millions of dollars they have provided to help Republican candidates.

To a large extent, Mr. McConnell’s promises are more bluster for the Republican donor base than a foolproof plan. Through a budget procedure called reconciliation, Republicans could clear a path to tax legislation or changes to entitlement programs that could pass later in the year with simple majorities in the House and the Senate.

But unless a Republican majority plans to end the filibuster on legislation as Democrats ended it on some presidential nominees, spending bills with “riders” would need 60 votes in the Senate. If the Republicans win control of the Senate, their majority is almost certain to be short of 60.

Republicans said the recordings were insignificant. Josh Holmes, a senior McConnell campaign aide, said the senator was in no way suggesting a strategy to shut down the government unless Mr. Obama capitulates.

Nonetheless, the audio recordings are likely to become fodder for the campaigns in Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa and Kentucky. Democrats, most notably Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority leader, have tried to demonize contributions by the Koch brothers as corruptive to the political system.

The Grimes campaign responded quickly, saying, “Shockingly, Mitch McConnell will do and say anything it takes to secure his grip on personal power, including promising to hurt Kentuckians to benefit billionaires.”
Allison Lunsford Grimes is a formidable challenger in the closely watched U.S. Senate race in Kentucky.
Ms. Ernst and Mr. Gardner made a pitch to donors that their support was about more than the Senate races. If they win in November, it would lay the groundwork for turning Iowa and Colorado Republican in the 2016 presidential race, they said. Mr. Obama won both states twice.

“If we win Colorado, we overturn the narrative the Democrats are trying to build about the interior Rocky Mountain states, that you can’t win statewide in the Rocky Mountain West anymore,” Mr. Gardner said. “We can defeat that notion. We can flip it upside down in Colorado by winning in 2014, making the pathway for whoever our nominee is in 2016.”

Ms. Ernst said: “We are setting the stage for Iowa as the first-in-the-nation’s caucus that all of our presidential hopefuls come, come to. We’re setting the stage in 2014 with a Republican victory, so that likelihood is in 2016 we can go red as a state and assist any Republican nominee from Iowa. So we’re setting the stage for the presidency.”

David Gregory Resigns From Meet The Press!

David Gregory got the ax. Chuck Todd got one year to turn Meet The Press around or he'll be joining Gregory.

NBC executives want to keep the nation's longest running Sunday news program in the top. So in order to do so, they gave the host the ax. David Gregory, the host since 2008 is stepping aside.

GOP Sundays won't be the same without him. Although I won't miss him too much, his future from the network will be better. He can emerge on another network. Say if it was Loserville or CNN.

Who knows?







Gregory who was then the Washington bureau chief got the gig after Tim Russert passed away in 2008.

Gregory got the most press coverage during the 2012 Sandy Hook tragedy, when that lunatic Wayne LaPierre was bitching about how guns could have save those 26 innocent people when that extremist killed them with an assault rifle.

Gregory brought a firearm magazine. He did violate a minor law in which it restricted him from bringing in a loaded weapon into the city of Washington, DC.

Chuck Todd will likely take the spot. We'll see if he has the guts!

CBS has gained grown with Face The Nation. Bob Schieffer is getting some of his best ratings ever on GOP Sundays.

Under Gregory's tenure as moderator, Meet the Press has significantly decline in ratings since 2008. In the final three months of 2013, the program came in third place for total viewers behind CBS's Face The Nation and ABC's This Week for the first time since 1992 and experienced the lowest ratings in the show's entire history among the key 25 to 54 viewing demographic.
