Texas Cop Fired For Brutal Killing Of 93 Year Old Woman!

Pearlie Golden (right) was killed last week after an officer told her to drop her firearm. The city of Hearne wants the officer who fired the shot removed off the force.

In the great state of Texas, a law officer is off the job after he was involved in a shooting that killed a 93-year old grandmother. The officer vows to fight his termination.

The NAACP and those in the community hope that Stephen Stem is permanently off the force. He had a history of opening fire on residents. In particular, Black residents.

Stern, a police officer from Hearne killed Pearlie Golden after numerous attempts to disarm the woman.

The woman shot into the ground twice after she got into a domestic dispute with family members after she lost her driver's license during a failed exam.

The Eagle which serves Bryan and College Station, TX reports that Roy Jones, Golden's great-nephew, was the one who called 911 after Golden brandished a gun. His sister, Theresa Jones, who lives in Bryan and was not present at Tuesday's shooting, said her older brother was shaken up by the experience and was not available for comment on Friday. She described Jones as Golden's "right-hand man," saying he had long helped care for their aunt.

Stephen Stern told the city of Hearne that he did nothing wrong and the firing was unjust. He will take them to court.

Roy Jones told his sister that he had taken their elderly aunt to the Department of Motor Vehicles on Monday to renew her driver's license, but the renewal was rejected. Theresa Jones said the family knew Golden was getting too old to be driving, but their aunt took the news hard since she lived alone and valued her independence.

"He would drive her if she needed to go to Bryan, but she drove herself around Hearne," Theresa Jones said.

Theresa Jones said her brother and Golden got in an argument when he refused to give her the keys to her car on Tuesday. At that point, Ray Jones told his sister, Golden grabbed a gun, which had belonged to her late husband.

Residents pack Hearne city hall.

Roy Jones told his sister that he then ran around the side of the house to call 911, hoping the aid of officials trained in defusing situations could calm her down.

Jones said her aunt was well-loved and had had no previous problems with the law, and that the family had never needed to call the police on her before. Since she was not there, she did not know if Golden fired any shots before the police arrived.

When officers arrived, Jones said, her brother saw Golden fire two shots into the ground. After disobeying
Officer Stephen Stem's orders to put her weapon down, she was fired on four times and struck twice. She was taken to St. Joseph Hospital, where she died later Tuesday evening.

Theresa Jones said Golden was not violent and was probably trying to defend herself and be left alone.

Robertson County District Attorney Coty Siegert could not confirm any evidence existed indicating Golden had fired her weapon, but said it was too early in the investigation to rule out the possibility.

Siegert said the firearm was sent to a forensic lab for ballistics testing as part of the process of determining if the elderly woman did shoot her gun.

Theresa Jones said she believes Stem did not need to shoot Golden and should've handled the situation differently.

"They could've shot in the area to scare her or something. They didn't have to shoot her," she said.

She said Roy Jones, who lives in Hearne, was very close to his great-aunt. He would take off work to drive her to doctors' appointments and recently took her fishing, a pastime she loved, but which had become increasingly difficult with her advanced age.

Theresa Jones declined to give the age of her brother, but said he has been talking with Texas Rangers, who are investigating the shooting.

CNN reports that Stern's attorney Robert McCabe is vowing to fight this termination.

Hearne police are dealing with a public relations problem.

"The knee-jerk reaction to terminate Mr. Stem was not about whether Ms. Golden chose to create and perpetuate a life-threatening situation. That is a clear and indisputable fact.

"Rather, the city's decision was about appeasing certain members of the community who want to make this case about Ms. Golden's age, the fact she is African-American, or the fact she is a woman.

"None of those factors played a role in Stem's decision to use deadly force," Robert McCabe, Stem's attorney, said in a statement Sunday.

His comments come as Texas Rangers continue an investigation into why Pearlie Golden, a longtime resident in this small town of about 4,600 people between Dallas and Houston, was shot multiple times at her home Tuesday.

A man believed to be a relative of Golden's made a 911 call asking for help from police, Robertson County District Attorney Coty Siegert said.

"What I understand is (Hearne police) were called out because a woman was brandishing a firearm," Siegert said.

"An officer asked her to put the handgun down, and when she would not, shots were fired."

Hearne City Attorney Bryan Russ Jr. said Stem told Golden to drop her weapon at least three times.

"Police not only have a duty to protect themselves from imminent harm, but also innocent citizens who rely on them 'to protect and serve,' " Stem's attorney said in his statement.

The case eventually will be presented to a grand jury, which is standard procedure when dealing with officer-involved incidents, according to Russ, the city attorney.

"I would expect people to be upset about this, a young police officer shooting a 93-year-old lady," Russ said. "I'm upset about it. Most of our citizens are upset, but at the same time, I don't believe all the facts have come to the surface yet."

NY Republican Congressman Arrested!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He would later apologize to the reporter.

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

Could there be more Republicans under investigation?

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

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

GOP Congressman Thinks AG Eric Holder Should Be Locked Up!

Republican Blake Farenthold has a vendetta against Attorney General Eric Holder. 

Bill Maher has declared war on the Republicans. He wants to contribute to defeating members of the Tea Party. One in particular is the Texas Republican congressman Blake Farenthold who has a history of saying pretty controversial things.

Maher has stated that Republican lawmakers such as Farenthold are an embarrassment to our nation and it's up to the voters to get rid of these assholes.

He created a "FLIP A DISTRICT" movement and Maher is determined to take Farenthold and New York Republican congressman Michael Grimm out.

Farenthold was a former turd flipper on AM radio and was elected to Congress during the sweep.

Since he's been in office, Farenthold is obsessed with Fast & Furious, the formerly plagued Obamacrare website, Benghazi and Lois Lerner's role in the IRS alleged actions against the Tea Party.

Farenthold made it his mission to undermine President Barack Obama and those who support him.

On Loserville, Farenthold wanted to tell the audience (uh, the racist right), that he's going to draft legislation that would cease federal payment of Attorney General Eric Holder.

Attorney General Holder told the National Action Network's annual conference that obstruction towards President Barack Obama is unwarrented and unprecedented.

Last week, Farenthold and fellow Texas Republican congressman Louie Gohmert were being total assholes towards Holder. They were saying that he should be locked up. That sparked a tense exchange of words between Gohmert and Holder.

The Republicans (and seven Democrats) voted to have the Attorney General in contempt of Congress for not releasing documents in relation to the the Fast & Furious operation that lead to the killing of ATF agent Brian Terry.

Mediaite reports that Farenthold told Greta The Ambulance Chaser Thursday night that it could help hold people like Holder to account, explaining, “If you’re in contempt of Congress, we don’t pay you.”

Greta The Ambulance Chaser wondered whether that could potentially backfire in the future, like if there’s a “rogue Congress” in the future that decides to go after a government official for purely partisan reasons. Farenthold insisted contempt of Congress is not something done on a whim, and said, “We’ve got to come up with some enforcement mechanism, and this is what I think we have the constitutional authority to go.”

He emphasized this is not specifically about Holder, but “pulling power back to Congress” in the face of Holder using the “Obama administration playbook of stonewall and delay.”

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?”

Shooting At Fort Hood!

Again a shooting at Fort Hood has the nation mourning.

Nearly five years ago, American soldiers were attacked by their own.

Today, I think it may have happened again! We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to those who were lost in this horrible tragedy. The Associated Press reports that this shooting has multiple injuries and the possibility of death.

One person was killed and 14 injured in a shooting Wednesday at Fort Hood, and officials at the base said the shooter is believed to be dead.

The details about the number of people hurt came from two U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the information by name.

Fort Hood said in a statement posted online that its Directorate of Emergency Services had an initial report that the shooter was dead, but that the report was unconfirmed. Additional details were not immediately available.

A U.S. law enforcement official said reports circulating within the Justice Department indicate the shooter died of what appears to be a self-inflicted wound. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is still ongoing.

The Army said on its official Twitter feed that the Texas Army post was still on lockdown. Injured people were being treated at the post's Carl R. Darnall Medical Center and other local hospitals.

Nidal Hasan was a decorated soldier. He snapped and ended up killing 13 of his fellow members. He was inspired to kill by American born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki who became a recruiter for extremism. al-Awlaki was killed in 2011 and Hasan was sentenced to the gas house.

President Barack Obama said he was following the situation closely and that the government will get to the bottom of what happened.

He said Wednesday's incident brought back painful memories of a 2009 mass shooting at the Texas Army post. Thirteen people were killed and more than 30 wounded in what was the deadliest attack on a domestic military installation in history.

"We're heartbroken that something like this might've happened again," Obama said at a restaurant in Chicago where he held a fundraiser.

"The folks there have sacrificed so much on behalf of our freedom. Many of the people there have been on multiple tours to Iraq and Afghanistan," Obama said. "They serve with valor, they serve with distinction and when they're at their home base, they need to feel safe. We don't yet know what happened tonight, but obviously that sense of safety has been broken once again."

The November 2009 attack happened inside a crowded building where soldiers were waiting to get vaccines and routine paperwork after recently returning from deployments or while preparing to go to Afghanistan and Iraq.

Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan was convicted and sentenced to death last year in that mass shooting.

According to testimony during Hasan's trial last August, Hasan walked inside carrying two weapons and several loaded magazines, shouted "Allahu Akbar!" - Arabic for "God is great!" - and opened fire with a handgun.

Witnesses said he targeted soldiers as he walked through the building, leaving pools of blood, spent casings and dying soldiers on the floor. Photos of the scene were shown to the 13 officers on the military jury.

Developments are rapid.

The rampage ended when Hasan was shot in the back by Fort Hood police officers outside the building, which left him paralyzed from the waist down. Hasan is now on death row at the military prison at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas.

After that shooting, the military tightened security at bases nationwide. Those measures included issuing security personnel long-barreled weapons, adding an insider-attack scenario to their training, and strengthening ties to local law enforcement, according to Peter Daly, a vice admiral who retired from the Navy in 2011. The military also joined an FBI intelligence-sharing program aimed at identifying terror threats.

In September, a former Navy man opened fire at the Washington Navy Yard, leaving at least 13 people dead, including the gunman. After that shooting, Hagel ordered the Pentagon to review security at all U.S. defense installations worldwide and examine the granting of security clearances that allow access to them.

Texas Town: Please Disinvite Yourself Ted!

The Motor City Madman isn't getting the Texan longhorn treatment.

Controversial rocker Ted Nugent got served yet again. He's too embarrassing for a Texas town.

The city of Longview, Texas is not interested in the conservative agitator performing at their Fourth Of July event this year. They even paid him over $16,000 to keep him as far away from this event.

The city had reached a verbal agreement with Nugent, scheduling the rocker as the headliner who would play inside the Maude Cobb Convention and Activity Center during the town's Independence Day celebration. To break that agreement, the town paid Nugent half of his guaranteed performance fee of $32,000 from Maude Cobb's annual budget.

The move comes amid criticism of comments Nugent made about President Barack Obama in January 2014, calling him a "subhuman mongrel." Nugent, who campaigned with Texas Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott amid the controversy, apologized for those comments in February.

Abbott said he was moving on from the controversy over Nugent in late February, but his ties to the rocker remain a prominent talking point of both sides of the governor's race. Abbott's rival, Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis (D), called the Attorney General's embrace of Nugent an "insult," while former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin (R) cited the rocker in her endorsement of Abbott.

"If he is good enough for Ted Nugent, he is good enough for me!" Palin wrote on her Facebook page.

The situation with Longview is not unique. Nugent was removed from a concert lineup at a prominent military base in 2012 after saying he would be "dead or in jail by this time next year" if Obama were re-elected that year.

Nate Silver: Smile Republicans!

The famed statistician and sports commentator calls the Midterms for the Republicans.

The famed stats man got the goods on the U.S. Midterms. He strongly believes that the Republican Party despite it's hateful and yet unaccomplished agenda will have a chance to take full control of the Congress.

With that being said, it's possible that the Southern Democrats in the House and Senate are doomed or at least in danger of being doomed.

Silver, who just launched his own site, FiveThirtyEight, under the ESPN banner, spoke to ABC’s Jon Karl in a segment on This Week With George Stephanopoulos Sunday morning. There he said his best prediction saw the GOP taking six seats, the exact number they’d need to have a one-vote majority. However, that prediction was +/- five seats, meaning the Senate could relatively unchanged, or the GOP could win big in November.

So do you believe the Republicans have a chance to win despite being a totally useless party?

After all Silver did call the election for President Barack Obama long before he got through the first debates.

Irish Spring!

Jobs were added year and President Barack Obama's critics will continue to complain.

The unemployment numbers are up. The added jobs for February was 175,000. This drove unemployment numbers to 6.7%.

U.S. hiring improved in February from the previous two months despite a blast of wintry weather, likely renewing hopes that growth will accelerate this year.

The Labor Department said Friday that employers added 175,000 jobs last month, up from just 129,000 in January, which was revised up from 113,000. December's gain was also revised higher.

The unemployment rate rose to 6.7 percent from a five-year low 6.6 percent. More Americans started looking for work but didn't find jobs. That's still an encouraging sign because more job hunters suggest that people were more optimistic about their prospects.

The figures were a welcome surprise after recent economic reports showed that harsh weather had closed factories, lowered auto sales, and caused existing-home sales to plummet.

"Over the past three months, payrolls growth has averaged 130,000, which is pretty respectable given the widespread weather disruptions," tweeted University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers.

The low temperatures and snow storms that hit the eastern half of the country in February might still have held back hiring. The number of Americans who said weather forced them to work part time rather than full time reached the highest level for February in the 36 years that the government has tracked the figure. The average work week fell.

Some recent reports hint that the economy will accelerate as the weather warms. The number of people who applied for unemployment benefits fell last week and is at about the same level as before the Great Recession.

The two most weakest leaders in the Republican Party continues to obstruct the president's job proposals.

Applications essentially reflect layoffs. The decline suggests that companies are confident about future growth, because layoffs would rise if employers expected business to weaken. Instead, businesses advertised more jobs online last month, according to the Conference Board. Online job ads rose 268,100 in February to 5.19 million.

Still, other factors are weighing on the economy. Auto makers and other manufacturers build up big stockpiles of goods in the second half of last year. That means they are likely producing fewer goods this year and is probably one reason factory orders are down.

Most economists forecast the economy will grow at a 2 percent annual pace or less in the first three months of the year, down from a 2.4 percent pace in the final three months of 2013. But they expect growth to accelerate in the spring and summer to roughly a 3 percent pace.

GOP: [We're] Not Racists! Wink, WInk!

Okay, here we go again!

Oklahoma Republican congressman Jim Bridenstine allows a stupid ass constituent make threat on President Barack Obama's life.

The Young Gun of the Tea Party Movement is under fire for deliberately allowing this nonsense go on without a merit of concern.

This is why the Democrats and their politically allies label the party as a bunch of bigots.

News 9 Oklahoma reports that  more threats have surfaced just a day after one Oklahoma man was charged with mailing a threatening letter to President Obama.

That man could face up to five years in federal prison for making the threats.

While Oklahoma Congressman Jim Bridenstine was holding a town hall meeting, the topic quickly turned when the floor was open for discussion.

"Obama shouldn't be president if you ask me. He should be executed for being an enemy combatant."

At first it seems only laughter followed the female attendees comments on executing the president. But if you listen closely it sounds as if a male responds with "I don't know about that..."

Whether the male voice was Bridenstine or not, the Oklahoma Democratic Party feels the congressman didn't do enough.

"I am appalled someone would threaten the Commander-In-Chief, Republican or Democrat. Congressman Bridenstine owes the President an apology, the country an apology and the people of Oklahoma an apology," said ODP Chairman Wallace Collins.

"A public figure cannot control what people say in open meetings. I obviously did not condone and I do not approve of grossly inappropriate language. It is outrageous that irresponsible parties would attribute another person's reckless remarks to me," responded Bridenstine.

First amendment attorney Mark Hammons viewed the video. And the difference between these comments and the threatening letter from Rogers County resident Hunter Hines, is not a direct threat of harm.

"Comes close to that but probably doesn't cross the line because she's expressing an opinion," said Civil Rights attorney Mark Hammons.

After the woman made those comments she went on to call the President a criminal and a moron. When she was done, the Congressman went back on the topic of gun control.

As you know that the U.S. Secret Service takes all threats against the president very seriously. These individuals who made threats are going to find a visit unpleasant.

You know if you're found guilty of making an attempt at the president's life, you're going to federal time out for 5 years and pay a hefty fine.

State Of The Union

President Barack Obama tells Congress and the nation that if gridlock continues he will use his executive orders to get things done. Republicans weren't impressed with it. Of course, there's plenty of Republicans acting like idiots that night.

Apologies to the good readers of Journal de la Reyna, I had to work last night and didn't get the opportunity to listen to the president's State of The Union Address.

I almost wanted to just get an opportunity to sneak off the job and peak out the president's speech.

But alas, I will elaborate over the themes of President Barack Obama's address for his sixth year as the leader of the United States.

The main themes of the president's address is income inequality, women's rights, ending Iranian sanctions, immigration reform, the healthcare law, his executive orders, and climate change.

Unbelievable, there were four Republican responses. Four lawmakers were addressing the nation.

Two Stallmigos and two congresswomen had an opportunity to undermine the president. U.S. Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Florida U.S. Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen delivered the most recent Republican response, on January 28, 2014, in English and Spanish, respectively.

Stallmigos Rand Paul of Kentucky and Mike Lee of Utah do unofficial Republican responses. The Tea Party Express does one with Lee and Paul does his little showboating response.

Of course these two have no legislative accomplishments as of today. They are often mentioned as potential presidential contenders.

House Speaker John Boehner looks like a sour puss. Even though the president tossed him a shout out for being a son of a tavern owner.

Steve Stockman walked out. He of course wanted news attention. He is going for John Cornyn's senate spot. It's possible that Stockman could beat Cornyn. After all we got Stallmigo Ted Cruz.

Trey Radel gets out of Congress. He was forced out after it was revealed he was purchasing cocaine while in office. He sought for treatment after he was found guilty of possession.

Michael Grimm acts a fool in front of New York television reporter.

Willie Robertson, Sean Hannity (aka That Guy Who Helped Obama Win) and Tyrone Woods' dad Charles were guest of the extremely conservative Republican lawmakers.

Obviously it's the talk of the week, what's your take on it?

Mike Huckabee Thinks Dems Take Control Of Women's Libdio!

Huckabee is a total asshat. He makes a sexist comment.

It seems like lessons weren't learned during the Republicans defeat. It took one loudmouth agitator and his slut shaming of a Georgetown University student to propel her into the limelight as an activist. And it helped President Barack Obama nail perennial loser Mitt Romney to the wall.

Now it seems like a potential perennial loser opened his damn mouth and let his ego slip in!

Enter Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas governor and Loserville talk show host.

“I think it’s time Republicans no longer accept listening to the Democrats talk about a ‘war on women,’” Huckabee said. “Because the fact is, the Republicans don’t have a war on women. They have a war for women.”

“Women I know are outraged that Democrats think that women are nothing more than helpless or hopeless creatures whose only goal in life is to have a government provide for them birth control medication,” Huckabee said. “Women I know are smart, educated, intelligent, capable of doing anything anyone else can do.”

“If Democrats want to insult the women of America by making them believe they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing them for them a prescription each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of government, then so be it,” Huckabee said.

It's like history is repeating itself.

They fear Hillary Clinton being the next in line, so what they do is talk about Benghazi.

Texas is close to being a minority-majority state and Hispanics are a growing population there. It seems like the second largest state is having a flux of Democrats. That's why Republicans are in fear of the potential contender who may take over the Texas mansion.

Wendy Davis, a Democratic state legislator from Texas who is running for governor against Republican Attorney General Greg Abbot is the first of many candidates the political party is lining up to take on the embattled Tea Party.

Wendy Davis is the rising star of the Democratic Party. She is running for governor of Texas.

The folks over Loserville are trying to discredit Davis over her personal life.

That douche who claims he's a comedian, Greg Gutfield from The Five called Davis an "Abortion Barbie".

The shrill voice Ann Coulter called Davis a "gold digger who found a few sugar daddies."

Phony liberal Kristen Powers says that Davis is a media whore.

King Hippo, That Guy Who Helped Obama Win, Megyn The Outrage Princess and Greta The Ambulance Chaser have devoted their time to attack Davis personally.

This is an example of the Republicans war against women. Those folks over at Loserville are the reasons to why the Republican Party is so screwed up. Especially around the women.

Most agree this is going to be another weak field of Republican candidates. There's talk about perennial losers like Mike Huckabee, Rick Perry and Rick Santorum taking another swing at losing..

Also the Stallmigos Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and Marco Rubio are the talk of the nation.

 Embattled governors Scott Walker, Chris Christie, and former Bob McDonnell are floated around as well.

Even that idiot former Alaskan governor is back in the pool.

IF THE REPUBLICANS ARE LINING UP THESE PEOPLE, THEY WILL CONTINUE THE ONGOING FIELD OF WEAK CANDIDATES.

Ted Nugent: Obama's A Chimpanzee!

Nugent is a prime example of a monkey throwing his poop! 

I used to like this guy's music. Nowadays being a washed up celebrity, anything you could say could reach the social networks. It's obviously that in America, you're entitled to the freedom of speech. You can criticized the President of the United States. Barack Obama is different.

The unprecedented hatred of the first Black president continues. Ted Nugent, a NRA supporter, conservative activist and rock bar fly continues make himself the news.

He goes to a gun friendly radio program to call President Barack Obama a “subhuman mongrel” and a “chimpanzee,” while also asserting that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has “spare scrotums.”

I guess getting his ass banned from military bases still has him rubbed the wrong way.

Last year, Texas congressman and U.S. Senate Republican primary candidate Steve Stockman invited Nugent to the State of the Union Address.

This year, Texas congressman Republican Louie Gohmert is planning on inviting That Guy Who Helped Obama Win to watch the current State of the Union Address.

White Extremist Featured On Nightline!

Matt Heimbach (center) is the clean cut professional bigot. He is plotting a 2014 recruitment of young Whites who are fed up with the ongoing attacks on his race. Heimbach is one of the most dangerous figures in the White Extremist movement according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Bryon Pitts interviews Matt Heimbach, the most notorious white extremist. The professional bigot makes his national rounds on ABC.

He's channeling the former Ku Klux Klan leaders David Duke and Don Black. He is using his professional skills as a marketer and motivator to inspire hate.

He's doing more than passing out flyers and shouting at his fellow Americans. He's recruiting young ignorance with these White Student Unions.

He's not ashamed of promoting his views and even went to the country's most diverse city to interact with those he hate. He would travel to diverse cities like New York and Chicago to inspire young Whites to join his clique.

Heimbach doesn't mind interacting with Black people. However, it's mildly cordial but still confrontational.

He's doing a quite remarkable approach at recruiting. ABC News just gave him a path to promote himself and his allies. A man who is not ashamed of heritage or his hatred of Blacks, Jews and gays.

Heimbach and Thomas Buhls, his co-founder created the White Student Union. They are plotting a nationwide tour across the South and many conservative states. They want to achieve the goal of being an effective "White nationalist group!"

They're even trying to seek recruitment into the 2014 CPAC Convention.

Byron Pitts follows Heimbach to Chicago and Indianapolis to met Dawah Yisrael and Mmoja Ajabu, two of the most dangerous Black separatists in the nation.

Looking U.S. Up In Texas!

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

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

Houston population 4.3 million people.

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

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

Dallas

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

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


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

San Antonio

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

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

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

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

Austin

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

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

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


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

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

Fort Worth

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

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

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

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

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

Republicans: So What's Your Point About Us Being Bad? We Still Gonna Win!

The U.S. Midterms are coming and the Democrats are very worried that their majority in the the Senate will be in jeopardy.

A CNN/ORC International poll released Thursday found two-thirds of Americans said the current Congress is the worst in their lifetime, while 73 percent agree that this Congress has done nothing to address the country's problems.

The dissatisfaction with Congress crossed party and generational lines, according to CNN's polling director.

"That sentiment exists among all demographic and political subgroups. Men, women, rich, poor, young, old - all think this year's Congress has been the worst they can remember," Polling Director Keating Holland said. "Older Americans - who have lived through more congresses - hold more negative views of the 113th Congress than younger Americans. Republicans, Democrats and independents also agree that this has been the worst session of Congress in their lifetimes."

The poll found that blame was spread across the aisle: 52 percent said they believed Democrats in Congress would move the country in the wrong direction, while 54 said the same of Republicans. An equal percentage, 54 percent, weren't optimistic about President Barack Obama's policies.

The poll surveyed 1,035 adults nationwide by phone from Dec. 16-19. The survey had a margin of error of 3 percentage points.

The dysfunction of Congress is so bad, many American strongly disapprove of the legislative body. But so far, it hasn't budge the needle on the party in the lead in a CNN/ORC generic poll.

The Republicans lead in a five point advantage against the Democrats in the latest CNN/ORC poll.

About 49% of respondents believe the Republicans are more capable of dealing with the problems in Congress. Democrats have 45% in the capability. So that means, the president's agenda is strongly disapproved by Americans.

And yes, even though the Republicans have stalled nominees, shutdown the government, said so many outrageous and yes condescending things, the party has the most energized support.

Although this may spook the Democrats, you shouldn't worry too much right now! How bad will it get before the elections?

President Barack Obama's first year into his second term was bad to say at least. He couldn't get nothing done during this session because of the Stallmigos.

People aren't that fickle on the issues of America. If you're that fickle to the problems we all are facing, then you're likely a Republican or a very stupid ass conservative agitator.

Straight Clownin'!

Town residents are endorsing offensive clown.

The controversy that arose this year was a White man who did a "BLACKFACE" mock of President Barack Obama. The White man was performing as a rodeo clown. He wore an Obama mask and allowed his fellow rodeo clowns bobble the lips. The Obama rodeo clown was chased by the bulls while the announcer was chanting the rabidly conservative audience. The audience was chanting for the bulls to charge him.

A woman and her family watched the act go on. She was applaud. She recorded it and took it to the internet. It went viral. It opened up a can of worms against the Missouri Fair promoters. The promoters would later fire the rodeo clown and that sparked the racist right to come out in defense of the rodeo clown.

Conservative agitators were praising the clown for being bold. Chalk E Becker took to his network to tell his supporters they're "rodeo clowns" now. The controversial Republican lawmaker from Texas Steve Stockman announced on his social network that he would welcome the rodeo clown with open arms.

The rodeo clown Tuffy Gessling, better known as Tuffy the Clown is going to be the town's person of the year for his offensive act towards the president.

Tuffy The Clown. The controversy arose when the clown wore an Obama mask and mocked the president.

KXKX-FM disco jockey Rob Edwards is hosting a "Person of The Year" award to the clown.

The title goes to the person who had the biggest impact on the town, and he said Gessling certainly fit that bill.

Gessling donned an Obama mask this summer at the Missouri State Fair as an announcer asked if they cheering crowd if they wanted to “see Obama get trampled.”

A bull eventually approached Gessling, who jumped up and ran away to more cheers.

“It was a hugely hot topic around here — I mean it was national news, too –but I think that’s why people vote for him, because he brought national attention, for better or for worse,” Edwards said.

Gessling said he’d performed similar stunts while dressed as previous presidents, but many people were uncomfortable with a crowd cheering potentially violent acts against the nation’s first black president.

Edwards said he hadn't spoke to Gessling, who said he received threats after the state fair, but he knew the rodeo clown was aware of the competition because others have shared it on his Facebook page.

The other nominees include a local business owner who is active in charity organizations and a community photographer.

The runner-up so far is the Sedalia police department’s STING unit.

Voting ends Thursday in the competition.

If you're that stupid to vote for a clown, I guess you're a clown for doing so. Obviously in the rural parts of Missouri, you have to be either a Republican or the dumb asshole!

Oh, I forgot that dumb ass lawmaker Stockman is going to run in a Republican primary against Senator John Cornyn (R-TX). Stockman is calling the senator a "liberal" masquerading as a conservative. It could be possible that Cornyn be defeated by Stockman. Obviously, the state of Texas elected Stallmigo (NO ACCOMPLISHMENT) Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX).

Three weeks to go and I will post the yearly wrap up on Journal de la Reyna. Will this one be in the list?

Dems: Republicans Get A New Talking Point! Obamacare Website Running Right!

Besides the internet you can tell a friend, call the phone number and or get applications from government agencies. The Healthcare Marketplace website was the center of conservative ire and President Barack Obama's job approval going downward.

Looks like a month of bad news may be coming to an end for the embattled president. For over two months, we've heard stories about the Healthcare Marketplace website being a total failure.

Time for the Republicans to get a new talking point.

The president's credibility and trustworthiness came into question after it was revealed the contractors for the government website did a shoddy job. It cost millions and gave Republicans a talking point.

It also gave the president a record low job approval, his first since he won reelection this year.

Now the website hasn't gotten the 100% seal of approval, but the White House can report that it's getting better. The Marketplace website may have met its deadline of November 30.

They did conclude that the website may still experience problems, but it won't be the ones that caused such great controversy.

This morning I've haven't seen one report on CBS This Morning from right wing turdporters Jan Crawford or Sheryl Attikson about the Marketplace so far.

Of course this was the first hour of the program. It may happen during its second hour or during the week.

You know that it's been some of the most contentious debate so far. The Republicans worrying themselves over a website instead of jobs and immigration reform.

The 112th Congress could become even worse than the 111th. With the House of Representatives body schedule for the remaining days relatively low, many see this Congress as a "do nothing".

The Senate passed immigration reform this year and the House confirmed that its dead in the water.

The Congress spent a fraction of the year trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

Houston Party Shooting Ended With Two Killed!

Queric Richardson was murdered by two ignorant young men during an escalation at a Houston area birthday party.

Two high school students lives were lost at a birthday party in the Houston neighborhood of Cypress.

The Harris County Sheriff and Houston Metro Police found the individuals who committed the act.

I mean it's not even safe to even have a simple gathering among friends.

The shooters Willie Young, 21, and Randy Stewart, 18 were responsible for the act. They will be charged for capital murder as they await trial. They could get the gas chamber for this.

The Houston Chronicle and Associated Press report that the teenager who attended a large house party where two Cypress Springs High School students died says gunshots began in the house and continued outside as people ran into the streets seeking cover.

Shaniqua Brown, 17, says Saturday evening's birthday party "was not rowdy at all," and many people were dancing when they heard the shots.

Authorities are seeking two gunmen who are ages 17 and 22.

A man and a woman were killed in the shooting, said Sheriff Adrian Garcia. Queric Richardson, 17, died at the party and a 16-year-old girl at Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center Hospital. The victims have not been named but Garcia said both attended Cypress Springs High School.

According to friends, both deceased teens attended Morton Ranch High School in the Katy Independent School District.

Richardson, a junior, who would have turned 18 on Thursday was remembered as a generous and humorous guy who loved to play basketball.

Britnee Segura, a 16-year-old junior at Morton Ranch High, was stunned to learn about the shootings when she awoke on Sunday, checked her Instagram account and saw her friend's photo with "RIP" in the comments.

She said she soon spoke to Queric's brother, Lawrence Guidry, by phone, who confirmed the death.

"He just said that he was hurt," she explained.

At least 19 others were wounded in the shooting, said Garcia.

The party was advertised on Twitter as an 18th birthday celebration with the hashtag #Fab3HouseParty. Brown said word about the party was also spread through Instagram, a photo-sharing app and website.

Garcia said promoting the party on social media likely invited strangers to the home.

He said evidence indicates that there was no one-on-one confrontation prior to the shooting.

The initial investigation indicates that someone pulled a pistol and fired one celebratory shot into the air, he said.

"Someone else recklessly reacted to the gunfire and shoots into the crowd," said Garcia, adding that about 10 shots were fired.


The Sheriff called the incident a "a horrible combination of immaturity, access to a firearm and the inability to control oneself."

Garcia said social media "caused part of the problem we're dealing with," but said social media could also help find the suspects.

"We are asking those armed with social media to help the Harris County Sheriff's Office bring closure to this incident," he said. "If you, out there, know someone involved in this case … I ask you to use your smart phone and download IWatchHarrisCounty (app)."

Partygoers scrambled after the first shots were fired about 11 p.m. at the home in the 7300 block of Enchanted Creek Drive, near Fry and FM 529, said Brown.

Pools of blood were visible outside the two-story brick home Sunday morning, and the garage door was bent after people had pushed it upward while trying to escape.

Members of Mariah Boulden's family clean up the mess.

More than 100 people, mostly young adults, were at a house celebrating Mariah Boulden's birthday, said Thomas Gilliland, spokesman with the Sheriff's Office.

One of the wounded included a female, who was sent by Lifeflight helicopter ambulance to Memorial Hermann Hospital.

The others shot have injuries ranging from serious to non-life threatening, said Gilliland. Some were shot in the foot or ankle. Others were shot in the hip, he said. Most of the injured were from 17 to 20 and were taken to five area hospitals.

Three others not shot, but hurt in the incident, also were taken to a hospital, Gilliland said. They reported injuries such as twisted ankles. One neighbor said she thought a teen broke his leg trying to jump her fence as he fled the gunfire.

After the shooting, people were making a mad rush to get out of the house, he said. Witnesses told deputies that some people broke second-floor windows and jumped.

So many people were trying to get out of the garage, they forced the garage door forward and pushed it off its tracks, Gilliland said.

When deputies arrived, they saw some people lying on the ground and others running.

"It was a pretty chaotic scene," Gilliland said.

Mariah Boulden's birthday party went horribly wrong.

Hours after the shooting, A. Henry described how the celebration turned into terror.


He was in the house, near the kitchen when he heard the first shots.

"It sounded like a balloon popping," said the 19-year-old Cypress Springs graduate.

Partygoers suddenly got quiet, he said, then the gunfire returned.

Henry said he thinks he heard between 10 and 12 shots fired, but was uncertain because the situation was hectic. The shooting seems to last between three to five minutes, he said.

At one point, he was trying to move people toward the garage to help them and himself out. He saw two people on the floor, bleeding.

Uncertainty crossed his mind.

"I hope I make it out alive," he recalled thinking.

Karen Briones was visiting relatives in the neighborhood when they heard the shooting, she said.

She saw the party earlier Saturday when on her way to a convenience store. After Briones returned to her relatives' home, on the other side of the neighborhood, they heard gunfire. She and a few relatives drove back down the street to investigate, she said.

"Girls were crying and screaming, banging on people's doors asking them for help and to call 911," Briones said.

Members of the press taking graphic pictures.

The party was advertised on Twitter as an 18th birthday celebration. Brown said word about the party was also spread through Instagram, a photo-sharing app and website.

At least one parent was in the house, said Christina Garza, a spokeswoman with the sheriff's office.

No drugs or alcohol are suspected in the shooting.

Garcia said Boulden's mother was in the home during the party.

Bruno Figueroa lives a few houses down the street and said he heard five to 10 shots. He looked out his window and saw a crowd of at least 30 people running down his street.

"Kids were running everywhere," he said.

Figueroa said people suddenly began ducking into back yards and behind vehicles in driveways, apparently trying to hide from a car that was slowly coming down the street. Figueroa said that from his upstairs window he could hear the people who were hiding nearby.

"They were crying, yelling, 'My brother got shot,' 'Why did they do this?'" he said.

Figueroa said as soon as the slow-moving car rounded a corner and then sped away, the people who had been hiding gathered back in the street.

A young future lost to the endless cycle of gun violence.

Okay, we here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the families of Queric Richardson and the young girl.

It's not the guns fault, right?

It's the fault of the hip-hop community and lack of Black fathers!

We don't care where the guns came from! As long as a Black person has a firearm, they're dangerous.

This is the word vomit of the racist right! This is the circular firing squad of ignorance from those arm chair warriors who believe that every incident that happens in Black or the Hispanic community, is completely the fault of President Barack Obama instead of the individual.

As always the racist right will continue to say that it was one of "Obama's sons" in regards to it. Because they already assume that the individuals responsible are future Trayvon Martins.

White Man Lies Black Gets Elected!

Perennial candidate Dave Wilson won an election based on racial deception.

Sometimes I click on Mediaite for the most sensational stories of the week. One in particular is the White man who won an election running as a conservative Republican, but pretending to be a Black man.

If you believe conservatives are that desperate to win, well meet the elected Dave Wilson.

Wilson is a staunch conservative Republican who has no care for the Black community, the Latino community, undocumented workers, and the LGBT community.

In the state of Texas (home of Governor Rick "Oops" Perry, Louie "The Dofus" Gohmert, Steve "The Douche" Stockman, Stallmigo Ted Cruz and perennial loser Ron Paul) this Dave Wilson guy pulled the "Okie Dokie" on many voters.

In a predominately Black area in the city of Houston, Wilson went for the "Hail Mary" pass in an election.

He ran for the board of trustees at the Houston Community College.

He managed to upset Bruce Austin, a longtime trustee in a razor thin election race.

His previous attempt was to become mayor of Houston, the 4th largest city in the United States. He tried to run against Annise Parker, the longtime mayor who is openly gay. He's been running for office more than once.

Wilson puts on a radio ad that makes the ad sound like its a Black man speaking about issue on behalf of the community.

Wilson also pushed direct mail pieces, adorned with pictures of African Americans that Wilson admitted to pulling off the internet, that read “Please vote for our friend and neighbor Dave Wilson.” The fliers also claimed an endorsement by “Ron Wilson”—the name of a longtime African American state representative from the area, but also the name of one of Wilson’s relatives in Iowa. In the fine print, the flier noted “Ron Wilson and Dave Wilson are cousins.”


What's worse is this guy is not apologetic about this.

He actually thinks his victory was a "success" and all that talk about the Black Ron Wilson being a "cousin" is just a "joke".

It's ironic that New Jersey governor Chris Christie won his reelection overwhelmingly. He managed to carry about 38% of the Hispanic vote and 35% of the Black vote respectively. He managed to reach out to those who would normally never vote for a Republican. He warned Republicans that they better know their voters!

Republicans still have a bit of unease when it comes to Black and Hispanic voters. The  Republican Party and its allies in the conservative movement look upon people of color as well as Muslims as "natural born criminals" and "gubmint depindants" worshiping the alter of "Brother Barack".

That's probably why the party is 90% WHITE and 10% EVERYONE ELSE!

Republicans are just like cocaine, it's white and whatever else! There's at least something powerful in it when you're getting a high! Republicans are high on stupid.
