Colorado Tragedy At Batman Premiere!

UPDATE: NBC News reports that the shooter is 24 years old. He is named James Holmes.

Reports of more than a dozen people were killed in Aurora, Colorado. At the blockbuster screening of the new Batman: The Dark Knight Rises, a gunman opened fired on the moviegoers. Over 50 people injured and the causalities could rise at any moment.

Many waited for the opportunity to be the first to view the hit movie. A callous human being decided to channel his rage into a deadly incident.

The Colorado State Police, Aurora Police and the FBI are working this case.

President Barack Obama released a statement condemning the shooter and praying for victims of this incident.

One suspect was arrested. Details haven't emerged on who the person is, but we'll keep an eye on it.


The rise of domestic terrorism in the United States. A disturbed individual can be riled up by the angry voices of conservative talk radio, the internet, word of mouth and of course a domestic dispute. It will drive an individual to violence.

Already, I've read comment sections linked through The Drudge Report, Huffington Post and Michelle Malkin's website. The comments from conservatives are disgusting and callous at best. They're blaming President Barack Obama for this tragedy and his call to prayer for the victims. What a shame!

People are reminiscing about the Columbine shootings in Littleton, Colorado.

Aurora and Littleton are a part of Denver, Colorado.

We send our condolences to those lost in this tragedy.

George Zimmerman Mocks Trayvon Martin!

George Zimmerman mocks Trayvon Martin in jailhouse phone calls. Latest bombshell to unravel  in this controversial case. Also a witness comes forth claiming that Zimmerman sexually abused her when she was child.

The controversial shooting incident in Florida in which an unarmed teenager got into a confrontation with the neighborhood watch volunteer takes another turn. Apparently George Zimmerman didn't care about taking out a person's life! The Trayvon Martin shooting has become an international issue. The legislation that gave Zimmerman a choice to stand his ground in defending himself is under fire by gun control advocates and Civil Rights leaders. Florida governor Rick Scott was pressured to find a special prosecutor to indict Zimmerman after the Sanford Police botched up the case. The incident led to massive protests and divided many among racial and political lines.

Zimmerman and his wife lied about their defense funding and were held in contempt of court. After the judge granted a lower bond for Zimmerman, newly uncovered tapes have shown that he and his wife Shellie were trying to hide fundraising and secondary passport. The bond was withheld and he was placed back in jail.

Zimmerman was released again on a $1 million dollar bond. The legal defense is now scrambling after bombshell evidence comes forth about Zimmerman mocking Trayvon Martin while in jail.

Zimmerman speaking in Spanish was taking a cheap shot at Martin. While in jail on the phone, Zimmerman made the comment, "You know that when I get out of here, I'll come out with my hoodie!"


The phone call was released against Zimmerman's attorney's wishes by the judge in the case. Reports said this phone call was one of 145 calls that revealed Zimmerman's defense attorney knew the defendant could afford a higher bond, and that he does not like black people.

Hannity offered to pay for George Zimmerman's defense.

Another bombshell comes from the controversial conservative agitator Sean Hannity. A few months ago, the conservative agitator was in contact with George Zimmerman. According to Global Grind, Hannity was willing to help pay for all of George Zimmerman's legal defense. The Fox News Channel denies these claims. 

Sean Hannity was bashing Trayvon Martin and President Barack Obama. Numerous times, Hannity have mentioned that Zimmerman is a "good man" and the media was portraying him as "reckless killer". The conservative agitator claimed that it was an "accident" and it was Martin who threatened Zimmerman before he attacked him. Those claims are disputed.

Hannity will interview George Zimmerman and his attorney this coming week.

And another bombshell also comes in the wake of this tragedy. A witness comes forth saying that she was sexually abused by George Zimmerman. According to Reuters and USA Today, this witness is a cousin of Zimmerman and she decided to come forth.

The alleged assaults began when the woman was 6 years old and Zimmerman was 8; they allegedly continued until she was 16, USA Today reports. Zimmerman is currently 28 years old.

But even if the woman's allegations are true, could Zimmerman face criminal charges for incidents that happened at least a decade ago?

It depends on the nature of the alleged abuse, and where they took place.

The cousin claims George Zimmerman sexually abused her numerous times when she and her sister spent the night with Zimmerman's family in Virginia, according to the Orlando Sentinel. At least one incident took place in Florida.

The location is important because each state has different laws about prosecuting child sexual abuse cases. Virginia, for example, has no time limit for prosecutors to charge someone with child sexual abuse, according to Virginia Statehouse News.


But the last of the alleged abuse happened in Florida, when the cousin was 16 and Zimmerman was around 18. In Florida, such an assault can be a first- or second-degree felony, depending on the amount of violence involved. Prosecutions must take place within four or three years, respectively, of a child victim turning 18. For the Florida incident at least, the woman's claim is likely too late to prosecute.

Time limits for prosecutions in other states can be found in FindLaw's collection of State Criminal Statute of Limitations Laws.

It's not yet clear how prosecutors intend to use the George Zimmerman sexual abuse allegations in their murder case against him, if at all. At this early point, there is also no indication whether Zimmerman will face any sex abuse charges anywhere. Prosecutors released the taped interview Monday along with other recordings, including 145 phone calls by Zimmerman in jail, USA Today reports.

On The Eve Of Her Birthday, A Woman Is Killed By An Accidental Cop Shooting!

We at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Adaisha Miller. 

In Detroit, Michigan, a woman about to celebrate her 25th birthday was shot and killed after she embraced an off-duty officer and she may have triggered his firearm. The Detroit Metro Police are investigating the incident and express sorrow for the death of Adaisha Miller.

Courtesy of Detroit Free Press

Off-duty Detroit Police Officer Isaac Parrish was carrying his department-issued pistol in a soft holster on the right side of his waist while hosting a fish fry at his house on Detroit's west side during the weekend, police said.


Adaisha Miller was dancing behind the officer and touched his waist.


His gun fired.


Miller was struck once in the chest and died.


That is the account provided Monday by Police Chief Ralph Godbee Jr., who said the shooting appears to be a tragic accident.


Police are investigating and say preliminary findings show the holster may have allowed the trigger to be "manipulated" while the Smith & Wesson M&P 40 was stored.


Godbee said the officer is "very remorseful of the incident and the tragic nature of this young lady losing her life in the manner that she did."


No one answered Monday afternoon at Parrish's home on Archdale.


"To the family of Adaisha Miller, we are profoundly sad at their loss," Godbee said.


As Miller's family grieved Monday on what would have been her 25th birthday, they said they want answers.


Yolanda McNair had planned to bake a birthday cake Monday but instead was looking for her daughter's burial dress.


"What I need to know are the facts," McNair said.


Based on the preliminary investigation and witness accounts, Godbee said, the shooting occurred after Miller was dancing with Parrish, embraced him from behind and touched his waist. It doesn't appear Parrish touched the weapon, Godbee said.


One expert said several questions need to be answered to know whether such an accident is possible.


David Balash, a former Michigan State Police firearms examiner, questioned whether the holster could pivot or whether Parrish was bending over, given that holstered guns typically point with the barrel toward the ground.

Parents of  Adashia Miller want answers to this tragic shooting.

"It's just an incredible angle that they're asking you to believe," Balash said. "If the muzzle of the firearm were initially in a downward position, it would be such a dramatic twisting and turning of a weapon."


Balash also questioned why the officer wouldn't secure his weapon if he felt someone touching it.


"You have to defend your weapon," he said. "Weapon retention is just a basic understanding of police work."


Godbee said the weapon does not have an external safety, but has one in the trigger.


The Smith & Wesson M&P 40 can be made with or without an external safety, said Matt Rice of 
Blue Heron Communications, a public relations agency that represents Smith & Wesson. According to a news release from Smith & Wesson, the weapon has a trigger system that features a 6.5-pound trigger pull and is designed to prevent the gun from firing if it is dropped.


It is optional for Detroit police officers to carry their weapons while off duty. If they do, according to the policy, "off-duty sidearms shall be carried safely and concealed from public view."


John Goldpaugh, a lawyer for the Detroit Police Officers Association, told the Free Press on Sunday that the officer had his semiautomatic pistol in a holster inside his waistband and covered by his shirt.


Godbee also said Parrish's gun was concealed.


Parrish, a 16-year veteran of the force, has been placed on administrative restricted duty during the internal investigation.


Godbee said the shooting still is being investigated. It's unclear exactly how Miller was shot in the chest.


Given the type of soft holster, it may have been possible for the "trigger to be manipulated," Godbee said. In most incidents, he said, a weapon "does not go off without the trigger being engaged in some manner."


Godbee did not say whether Parrish had been drinking and didn't answer a question about whether he was given a Breathalyzer test.

Metro Police Chief Ralph Godbee, Jr. expresses sorrow. He demands an investigation into why his officer had a weapon while he was drinking!

It's unclear how many people were at the fish fry when the shooting occurred at 12:30 a.m. Sunday. Miller's family members and police said she did not know Parrish.


According to departmental policy, "off-duty officers are prohibited by state law from carrying a firearm if their blood alcohol level is 0.02% or above. In addition, members shall not carry a firearm in situations where an officer's performance may be impaired."


Under Michigan law, a driver with a 0.08% blood alcohol level can be arrested for operating while intoxicated.


Miller's family also wants to know whether alcohol was involved.


"We want to know if there was any alcohol in his system at the time," said Elizabeth Gilmore, 41, one of Miller's cousins.


Godbee promised a thorough investigation.


"I think it's very important at this point for us as a department to embrace what happened, to take a look at every possible scenario, balanced with what the witnesses' accounts are, make our investigative findings known to the prosecutor, and what the evidence presents it presents," Godbee said. "And we will do what's necessary as a department."


Funeral arrangements for Miller still were pending Monday.

Chicago: Gang Of Thieves!

We at Journal de la Reyna mourn the death of Heaven Sutton. The young girl was gunned down by a gang member. She was caught in the crossfire of a shooting. Chicago, Illinois is becoming a gangland. Mayor Rahm Emanuel is demanding the Justice Department to curb the rise of gangs in the city. 

If you're planning to visit the Windy City, you're going to notice a controversy in the city of 3.4 million.

Chicago, Illinois, the country's third largest city is the heart of gang warfare. Over 250 homicides this year alone. A rise of violence in the city. With this controversy comes another theme conservatives and White supremacists pick up on. The rise of black violence in the urban communities is a talking point among those in the extremist wing of the Republican Party. They need to win this presidential election, and the key to do it, is get the angry White male to vote. When people react to these issues within the Black community, a conservative usually goes all out inflammatory when discussing this issue.

Of course the conservative word salad must include:

• Racial slurs. 
• The blaming of the Democratic Party or their progressive allies for the turmoils in urban communities. 
• Blatant attacks on domestic programs (low income single family homes, public schools, food stamps, welfare, disability, and unemployment benefits). 
• Blame the entertainment industry (rappers, video games and movies based on violent themes). 
• Making the case for extremism (anti-abortion activism, gun activism, vigilante justice, attacks on other races or LGBT community).
• Insulting public servants for not controlling the problem.
• Insert Barack Obama (namely calling these tragedies, one of "Obama's sons or daughters")!

Chicago is [Obama's] family, right?

We have too much violence in our communities. Unfortunately, this is an issue that you'll see in the media.

Crime is down. Let repeat this again, crime is down according to those who look into statistics of urban area crime. According to the Christian Science Monitor, the crime rate for serious crimes, including murder, rape, and assault, has dropped significantly since the early 1990s in part because of changes in technology and policing, experts say.

James Alan Fox, a professor at Northeastern University in Boston charted out the patterns of urban crime in major cities and determined that there's a decline. He stated that [America] is roughly safer since the past 20 years.

Some factors to violence and ways of curbing it.

• Increased incarceration, including longer sentences, that keeps more criminals off the streets.
• Improved law enforcement strategies, including advances in computer analysis and innovative technology.
• The waning of the crack cocaine epidemic that soared from 1984 to 1990, which made cocaine cheaply available in cities across the US.
• The graying of America characterized by the fastest-growing segment of the US population – baby boomers – passing the age of 50.

Chicago, Illinois

When Black males have firearms, the mayors and governors (and even lawmakers) would rather have gun control in the cities. They would throw the book at a Black male when they commit a crime. An automatic 15 year sentence for gun crimes in the United States. If you're in state prison, you commit a murder, the possibility of parole is unlikely if you're a Black person. A Black male could serve over 20 years in prison before he could ever get a probation. If you're charged in a federal crime, you're not going to get probation. Trust me, a federal sentence is a full term in prison. The court system is likely to give a Black male the death penalty or life sentence in a firearm crime. 

The hypocrisy lies within those who point fingers.

When White males have firearms, the same people want to give them full fledged rights to own and use firearms. The Republican led governors signed bills to allow firearms in public and private establishments. They pass "stand your ground" laws that could lead to vigilante justice. Places such as hospitals, bars, and even the church may have a person armed and ready to fire. A person could become trigger happy if they see a group of individuals and even though they'll be minding their business. This person may take it upon a use of a firearm as defense of a potential threat. Gun control advocates are calling these laws, Russian Roulette.

As a concealed carry firearm user, I believe that individuals have to practice restraint when it comes to firearms. I don't want to use deadly force. But if I had too, I would! A bullet has no eyes and no sense. Where a bullet travels, it's going to mark! It doesn't matter where goes, it's going to find a target. Firearms are used in hunting, sports, trade, and politics. Animals are killed with firearms. Buildings and traffic control signs are vandalized by firearms. If you're a human being, you're likely going to suffer a fate that's life-changing.

Uptown Chi

Again, I am not trying to justify the violence of gang members in Chicago. This is a domestic terrorism issue that the United States Justice Department must stop. The city has experienced a deficit of unemployment, major privatizing of the public sector, lack of school programs due to legislative budget cuts, and of course the perception of being Black "automatically assumes you're a criminal!"

Republicans are so focused on trying to give White males firearms so they could stockpile for the "Great Race War!"

Gang warfare is a political dog whistle and yes, white conservative males are going to milk this tragedy for political gamesmanship.

Look at The Drudge Report. Again, I said look at The Drudge Report. The gay conservative agitator has made it clear that he's helping get Mitt Romney elected for president. Any stories involving Black or Hispanic/Latinos is juicy news for the White supremacists or rabble rouser in talk radio.

The tipping point of gang warfare came in the death of a 7-year-old girl. Heaven Sutton, was a little child trying to sale some treats in front of her mother apartment complex and this young life was taken by a thug.

According to CBS News/Associated Press, a 26-year-old suspected gang member has been charged with first-degree murder and aggravated battery in the shooting death of 7-year-old Heaven Sutton who was gunned down while selling snow cones near her house last week.

Jerrell Dorsey, 26 was the shooter of Heaven Sutton and another person. He's held in custody.

Police say Jerrell Dorsey of Chicago was taken into custody Friday night and charged early Sunday. He appeared in court later Sunday, where a judge ordered him held without bail.

Heaven Sutton was with her mother Wednesday night when police say someone walked up to another group of people and opened fire down the street. The girl was struck by a stray bullet as she ran away.

According to CBS Chicago, a 19-year-old man was also injured during the shooting, suffering a gunshot wound to his ankle.

The Chicago Tribune reports that Dorsey's lawyer, Eric Dunham, said Dorsey was in the area when the girl was shot but was not the gunman.

The girl's family is accepting donations for Heaven's funeral expenses, CBS Chicago reports. Donations can be made to the Heaven On Earth Fund at any U.S. Bank location.

The station reports that Mayor Rahm Emanuel's office said in a statement Saturday: "No parent should have to endure this type of pain. Bringing Heaven's shooter to justice will not bring her back, but I hope it will provide some level of solace to her family. We cannot lose another innocent child to violence and I will continue to fight to make sure the Chicago Police has (sic) the resources it needs to stop the violence."

Before I end this, I want to say this clearly about these issues with gang violence.

GANG VIOLENCE IS DOMESTIC TERRORISM. 

It is no different than any White supremacists plotting an armed revolution against a group they deem as a threat to their livelihood.

Shake!

Charlie Rangel (D-New York) survived an ethics scandal. But could he survive his next term?

Before I go into the real issue, I wanted to get this issue of my chest. This ridiculous Operation Fast & Furious scandal is still an annoying thing to the president and his attorney general. The Republican witch hunt led to Attorney General Eric Holder being held in contempt of Congress. The U.S. Justice Department has found no evidence of criminal misconduct in the withholding of information to House Oversight Committee chairman Congressman Darrell Issa (R-California). The president invoking executive privilege in the matter infuriating the Republicans.


In Washington, a small group of conservative activists went to the White House to protest. The protest is mainly their frustration with the controversial Operation Fast & Furious scandal. 


Republicans enraged at the president and Attorney General Eric Holder over the ATF's mishandling of firearms leading to the death of U.S. Border Agent Brian Terry. The Republicans are playing political gamesmanship with this issue. They claim a ridiculous conspiracy about the operation being a way to enact legislation to restrict assault rifles. President Barack Obama hasn't signed any legislation that restricts the ownership of firearms. But to the Republicans and the gun lobbyist organization the National Rifle Association, they will rile up white voters with this nonsense of the president taking guns and taxing the American people.

I would say that anything done by the president, isn't going to satisfy the white working class male.

Conservative white men are stuck in their ways. They will never understand the president's policies gave them a tax cut. They will never understand that this Operation Fast & Furious scandal is a distraction. No member of the U.S. Justice Department wants to see a fellow law enforcement officer killed. Yet the Republicans claim that the president and Holder have blood on their hands because they refuse to release documents that could indict members of the ATF or expose tactics to curb drug smuggling.


This protest is one of the many the Tea Party is planning on doing this Fourth of July week.


The Secret Service shut down the protest after an undetermined package was found close to the White House. So you know it will have the kookspiracy nuts raging online about the government finding a way to shut down dissent.


The Tea Party is still upset over the Supreme Court ruling. The ruling upholds the controversial American Health Care Reform Act (Obamacare). The Republican governors and lawmakers are going to boycott the decision.

These are the ones who claim the president is stomping on the U.S. Constitution. But yet there's going against the Constitution by denying the court ruling. Talk about stomping on the Constitution?


Okay, now we'll move on!

Congressman Charles (Charlie) Rangel (D-New York) has been longstanding representative of the Harlem and Bronx district. But trouble amid the 82 year old politician could really unseat him. After declaring victory in a brutal Democratic primary race, Rangel thought he could breathe a sigh of relief. Not so fast, Mr. Rangel.

Rangel was initially declared the winner over State Senator Adriano Espaillat. After reports were made about several precincts’ votes in the district being left out, a recount has ensued. Rangel’s margin of victory is down to 802 votes. The Politicker reports

The race between veteran Congressman Charlie Rangel and State Senator Adriano Espaillat for the 13th Congressional District in Upper Manhattan will come down to paper ballots. Mr. Rangel was initially declared the winner by the Associated Press based on initial results provided by the New York City Board of Elections, but it was subsequently revealed those results did not include votes from many of the precincts in the district. After a re-examination of the votes, the BOE released unofficial results tonight including votes cast in all of the district’s 506 precincts that show Mr. Rangel defeating Mr. Espaillat by a margin of just 802 votes. According to the BOE, Mr. Rangel received 18,075 votes, or 44.29 percent of the total cast, compared to Mr. Espaillat’s 17,273, 42.33 percent of the votes cast.

These unofficial results do not include paper ballots cast by absentee voters and affidavit ballots submitted by those whose name is not on the voter rolls when they arrive at the polling place. Those paper ballots, which include votes for both candidates, will be counted by the BOE next Thursday and will be the deciding factor in this tight race.

On Thursday, Mr. Espaillat’s supporters held a press conference in front of Mr. Rangel’s office where they called for a federal monitor to oversee the counting of votes after the issues with the initial results. 

It seems likely that if the recount goes in the favor of the challenger, Rangel could be unseated. According to Wikipedia, the first causalities of the 112th Congress are incumbents in the primaries.

Congress Holds Attorney General In Contempt!

House Speaker John Boehner and Congressman Darrell Issa smirk. They voted on contempt of Attorney General Eric Holder. The president and the Democrats are calling the vote a distraction and are hoping to energize their base based on this decision. Also the Republicans plan on repealing "OBAMACARE!"

Major news breaks this day. The Supreme Court of the United States upholds the American Health Care Reform law and the Republicans are very upset over this one! They vow to repeal the entire law after their umpteenth break.

Now onto the next controversy, the ridiculous Operation Fast & Furious scandal. The Republicans managed to have a wrestle enough conservative Democrats to hold the Attorney General of The United States in contempt of Congress. They're playing right into the president's trap. Now he can say that the Republican Party and its allies in the conservative movement aren't worried about the economy. They're worried about appealing to their radical extremist base in defense of the culture war!

The remaining moderate and liberal Democrats walked out in protest. The Congressional Black Caucus did the passionate plea to the Republican leaders to avoid the contempt vote. No avail.

Similar to those good old days when then House Minority Leader (now Speaker of the House) John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Congressman Darrell Issa (R-California) walked out in protest of the contempt charge of Harriett Meyers and Josh Bolten. Alberto Gonzalez had to resign as the U.S. Attorney General in this scandal.

I guess this is the Republicans attempts at getting revenge!


The House of Representatives voted to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress. The vote was 255 ayes, 67 nays, and 1 present vote.


Seventeen Democrats joined with 238 Republicans to vote for the contempt charges against Holder, while over 100 Democrats did not vote, most of them symbolically walking out of the House chamber in protest.

Attorney General Holder is not resigning. He basically ignore the Republicans. He's currently in Florida talking to a civil rights organization to motivate Americans to vote.

Jon Stewart: Fox News Cried "Wolf" One Too Many Times! It's Getting Old!

                                      
The Operation Fast & Furious distraction scandal has the political parties at odds with one another.

Republicans are looking forward to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress over this. Some conservative Democrats will break with the party in order to push forth this witch hunt vote!

I think that the Republican Party and its conservative allies are screwing the country in order to hurt the president. They don't care about progress. They cheer for failure! They scream at success. These are the people who cheered for the United States losing out a bid for the Olympics. These people are upset that gas prices reached its peak at $4.139 a gallon! When it decreased to an average low of $3.439, they scream that it's a conspiracy to help the president. The president gave Americans tax cuts but in the conservative media led by this network, the president is coming for your guns, taxing your families and giving his "homies" a pass on issues while the "White man" suffers!

The conservative Fox News Channel has been the Republican Party's press secretary. From the lunatic rantings of Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Greta Van Susteren and even Karl Rove, the network has been a major thorn to the president and his progressive allies.

Jon Stewart of The Daily Show talks about this latest scandal by piecing together the blatant hypocrisy of the network's flip-flops and unjustified outrage over things they've supported in the past.

It's almost a shame that a comedian can expose the extremist agenda of America's Most Watched Network.

The network that advocates dog whistle propaganda to rile up the White working class, Rust Belt, Bible Belt voters into opposing President Barack Obama.

Let's break it down once again about the White voter and President Barack Obama.

White people are the most pessimistic of the president and are the likely ones to complain about his policies and his race. 

I for one am the angry Black male! I am tired of defending the indefensible. For way too long, I just toyed the notion that the Republican Party isn't a bunch of old white racists. Alas, I was wrong!

You can't defend a political party that wants nothing to do with you or the president. I can't support a party that wants to harm others under the guise of the radical Christian agenda. I don't want to support a party that wants to be intrusive of a woman's right to have children or an abortion. I don't want to be a part of a political party that denies rights to people who love the same sex and feel the need to marry just like a straight couple. I don't want to be a part of a party that concludes that "Black folk just outta be off welfare and food stamps" even though a vast majority of the recipients are White. I have gave myself the benefit of the doubt that most conservatives are smart people, just a little misinformed. No. They're not smart, nor informed. They're the reactionary bigots that created the political environment and its led by Fox News and the Republican Party. In these warped minds, anyone who supports President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party is a bunch of anti-American communists who want to take from those hard working folk!

These stupid bumper stickers tell ya to honk to annoy a liberal! How about a finger to rile up a conservative?

Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri) is facing a tough reelection this time.

The Democratic Party is a bunch of spineless wusses. They have all the ammunition to go after these lunatics, but they hold their hands back because they don't want to lose what little White votes they got! They're so scared of the angry White conservative male threatening to dismantle their political futures, some of these lily livered Democrats distance themselves from the president. The Hispanic vote is nearly yours and the Black vote is locked. 

All you need now is to tell the independents and women to fall in line! You keep it focus on issues like the economy and the possibility of economic chaos if the Republicans return back to power. I mean I don't predict the future! Republicans and its conservative allies are so fearful of the future! I almost wished they could predict a person's untimely death!

Who's to say if things may get better if Republicans take control?

Who's to say if things get better if President Barack Obama is reelected?

Yeah, I am talking to you skinny mini Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri).

Seriously, we need leadership from the president. He has to get his groove back and hammer these worthless ass politicians and that stupid network. That stupid network has no credibility whatsoever!

Why are the Democrats afraid of it?

Stockton, CA: Help Us Congress! We're Going Broke!

            

American mayors in major cities are demanding progress. Mayors are trying to revitalize their communities and the Congress is relativity screwing up with funds to help! The Republican controlled House of Representatives are delaying votes on the job/infrastructure and student loans bills. The Democratic Senate has went to bat on these issues only to have filibusters from Senators John Barrasso (R-Wyoming), Jim Inhofe (R-Oklahoma), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) and Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina).

The Republicans won't vote on any bill without domestic austerity cuts. The Democrats won't concede to spending cuts to domestic programs. The Democrats are trying to wake up the public by saying the Republicans are intentionally trying to destroy the economy to get back into power.

Stockton, California, a community that's between San Francisco and Sacramento is going to be filing for bankruptcy if the Congress doesn't pass federal funding for the city.

California legislators have worked all they could and now Governor Jerry Brown is calling upon Congress to step in to prevent the city from being literally broke.

With nearly 300,000 people, Stockton could become the first American city with a major population to ever declare bankruptcy. According to the Associated Press, to plug next year's anticipated $26 million shortfall, the proposed budget would suspend payments for debts and legal claims, reduce payments for retiree medical benefits, further cut some pay and benefits, and increase revenue through code enforcement and parking citations.

The unemployment rate has doubled in Stockton over the past decade and now hovers around 16 percent. One-fifth of residents live below the poverty line, and the city has twice topped Forbes magazine's list of "America's most miserable cities."

Under a bankruptcy filing, officials would retain power over day-to-day city operations and staffing, but a judge would take over all decisions concerning the city's debts, said Robert Benedetti, professor of political science at the University of the Pacific in Stockton.

The judge would decide which creditors should be paid, how much and in what order. He would make allowances for expenditures needed by the city to function, and it would be up to city officials to decide how to spend that money.

"One of the reasons a city might want to go the bankruptcy route is that they don't want a situation where they have to pay out debts and have to close the police or fire department," Benedetti said. "Filing for Chapter 9 means you're asking the court to protect you against lawsuits from people who hold your debt."
Stockton's bankruptcy would make it the largest city by population to file for Chapter 9 protection, according to Jim Spiotto, a Chicago bankruptcy lawyer who tracks such cases. He said Bridgeport, Conn., was the largest city to file for bankruptcy, which it did in 1991, followed by Vallejo, Calif., which filed in 2008.

SCOTUS: Arizona Law Smack Down!

In what may perceived as a victory to civil rights groups and the Obama administration in a 5 - (3) decision with Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy siding with the liberal wing, Arizona's immigration law revisions were struck down with one revision remaining.

Justice Elena Kagan did not participate in the decision. The controversial Arizona law that advocated racial profiling of undocumented workers and sometimes American citizens was handed a stinging blow.

The Obama administration's challenge to Arizona's aggressive immigration law was merited with a decision. The justices strike out multiple provisions but upholding the "papers please" provision. Civil rights groups argue the latter measure, a centerpiece of S.B. 1070, invites racial profiling. For now, it's still a pull and please show identification legislation. But this ruling is likely going to cancel out Alabama, Florida and other states from creating their own immigration laws.

Republicans are not popular among the Hispanic community. Their nominee Mitt Romney is suffering from the worst deficit in minority votes in years. Romney has a strong white male vote but lacks in the remaining minorities and white women vote. President Barack Obama has a 3:1 advantage over the Republican nominee.

Also with this ruling, you may see Republican House and Senate lawmakers will horse manure federal immigration laws. They'll gradually push forth laws that may discriminate towards minorities.

The Republicans fear that if undocumented workers apply for American citizenship, and register to vote,  they'll end up voting for the Democrat.
            
Republican governor Jan Brewer express somewhat disappointment in the decision but yet kept up the charade of being defiant in the face of federal law. Maricopa County sheriff Joe Apario, a Republican, express pure defiance and says he'll continue to aggressive stop illegals from entering his county. The U.S. Justice Department is in the process of indicting the sheriff for civil rights and cruelty charges. Embattled Republican sheriff Paul Babeu hadn't spoken on the issue yet. He's under investigation for an alleged bribery attempt after he was outed by his undocumented boyfriend.

Now the historic American Health Care Reform (aka Obamacare) decision is coming down. We'll keep you posted on the decision. This decision could shake the national debate on federal mandates for insurance coverage.

Hip-Hop Mogul Jimmy "Henchmen" Rosemond Faces The Music!

James "Jimmy Henchmen" Rosemond was indicted on federal charges for a murder-for-hire plot that killed an associate of 50 Cent's G-Unit crew. Rick Ross, a former rival of 50 Cent poses with the media mogul and his wife. Rick Ross was managed by Czar Entertainment which has 50 Cent's former ally The Game under its wing.

Czar Entertainment is the management company of entertainers, Rick Ross, The Game, Gucci Mane, Brandy and Shyne.

Rap mogul James Rosemond, known as Jimmy Henchmen is facing some federal charges. The rap mogul was arrested this year after allegations of a murder-for-hire plot were uncovered. Rosemond is also in trouble after he was indicted on federal charges of distributing cocaine through his other venues.

Rosemond was an enemy to rappers Tupac Shakur and Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson. In 1994, Shakur was nearly shot and killed by unknown assailants. Shakur had placed the blame on New York rapper Notorious B.I.G., Sean "Puffy" Combs and Rosemond for a deliberate set up! The rapper made songs dissing them.

50 Cent was engaged in a major feud with his group member The Game. In 2005,  the rapper went on radio to air out his frustrations on Hot 97 FM with shock jock Funkmaster Flex. The Game was unceremoniously fired after the rapper bragged that 50 Cent had no influence on his album sales. The Game and his entourage came to the radio station and one member fired into the radio station after a conflict with the 50 Cent's bodyguards.

Tony Yayo and another member of 50 Cent's crew G-Unit attacked Rosemond's son. Yayo was given a three year probation. Lowell "Lodi Mac" Fletcher was gunned down in September of 2009, shortly after he was released from prison for assaulting Rosemond's son.

Gunmen Rodney Johnson, 37 and Brian McLeod, 40, were hired by Rosemond to murder Fletcher, in exchange for drugs.

The news of the murder charges comes as federal authorities investigate Rosemond, who is currently facing federal charges for cocaine distribution.

Game and Rosemond spearheaded the "G-Unot" campaign during the feud, which climaxed with a shooting in front of Hot 97 that left one man from California wounded.

Shortly afterwards, 50 Cent and Game publicly ended their feud, although incidents of violence continued to occur in the years after.
 

The 47-year-old chief executive of New York-based Czar Entertainment is already imprisoned. He was recently convicted in federal court in Brooklyn on drug trafficking charges.

Rosemond's lawyer did not immediately return a message seeking comment.

He is behind such hits as Salt-N-Pepa's "Shoop". 

The federal charges implicated towards Rosemond carry the death penalty. If he takes the plea deal, he may get life in prison. 

But it's unlikely Jimmy Henchmen goes out like a punk! After all he doesn't "snitch!"

That's part of the Stop Snitching Campaign that he and The Game sponsored when they launch the G-Unit (G-Unot) boycott.

Democratic House Leader Pelosi: GOP Want Voter Suppression!

Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-California) is the former Speaker of the House. Her legacy as a progressive and effective leader was scrutinized by Republicans and conservatives who painted her a wicked witch and an overreaching politician. After her term expired, she became the Democratic Minority Leader.

 
This contempt charge to Attorney General Eric Holder by the Republicans have the Democrats angry.

Minority House Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-California) is concerned that this political gamesmanship is another attempt to stop the U.S. Justice Department from preventing Republican-controlled state legislator's attempts to suppress voters in minority-majority areas.

Republicans are sinking in popularity. Anti-incumbent fever is growing once again. Congress job approval is only 17% according to Gallup. People are not seeing progress in Congress.

Why are government workers getting furlows while our U.S. Representatives and Senators still get paychecks?

The Republicans are likely to have a hold on the House of Representatives and a possibility of taking back the Senate.

With this 112th Congress, Republicans had once said they'll lead the charge on bring back jobs to those struggling! That was quickly thrown out the window the moment they took the oath of office.

The Republicans spent nearly this session of Congress trying to pass legislation that could unravel the progress the president put forth to fix the struggling economy. The Republicans took funding from the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (known as the stimulus) and used it to get projects done in their congressional district. And yet they complain that it didn't solve the problems we're facing. The Republicans want to repeal healthcare reform (Obamacare), roll back regulations on banks and Wall Street (Dodd-Frank), and open up federal lands for oil drilling (in regards to the Keystone XL Pipeline). They want to stop funding to NPR/PBS, Planned Parenthood. Austerity cuts to farm subsidies (which includes food stamps), privatizing Medicare/Medicaid and social security. They want to pass legislation that may restrict a woman's right to have an abortion. The Republicans will not support any legislation without domestic austerity cuts.

The Republicans will not reimburse land to the Native Americans. They think the land reimbursement is a bad idea and land should be granted to private businesses to develop resources.

The Republicans want to stop minorities from voting by allowing state legislators pass laws that could restrict voters to participate. Those who registered to vote but rarely vote are likely to be the subject of Republicans. They figure that minorities and younger voters are the key to the president. If they could prevent them from voting, they could win.

President Barack Obama can't really do much during a gridlock in Congress. The Republicans are licking the chops hoping that the public would blame the president for the economy instead of them.

The president has demanded that Congress pass a highway and student loans bill. So far nothing has happened. The Congress hasn't passed a job's bill. There's thousands of construction projects that could be delayed and eventually scrapped. People are looking for Congress to do something that could help student's with federal loans. The loan rate will increase in a few days and Congress haven't put forth a debate on this.

Yet, the House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is likely to side with fellow Republicans on holding a contempt vote against Holder.

Congressman Darrell Issa (R-California) wants to push forth this contempt charge against Holder. He generated a lot of attention during his chairmanship in House Oversight Committee. This year, when Georgetown University student and activist Sandra Fluke wasn't allow to testify during a debate on contraception. Republicans are looking to make a dent into the president by this ridiculous witch hunt over the botched gun running operation Fast & Furious.

The possible Supreme Court decision on healthcare reform is coming and Republicans are looking into hoping it will be strike down. The White House and Republicans are nervously cautious about the pending decision.

The Republicans want to repeal and replace. Yet, there's no talk about talk about replacements to health care reform. 

Look I am all about getting things done, and the Republican Party haven't put forth an effort to help the president solve these problems. Their goal is to sabotage the president and hope the public blames him instead of them. The listened to the loud vocal minority of talk radio, the blogs and radical extremist in religion to guide them. They enjoy the millions of dollars from wealthy donors who want to ruin the environment, put forth legislation that supports the radical Christian agenda, and keep minorities away from succeeding by letting them kill one another in the cities while they watch it on their television in the suburbs.

Yes, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, they're trying to screw Holder. They're trying to screw President Barack Obama. They're trying to ruin the economy so they can get back into power. They don't care about the poor, the sick or the needy.

Republicans are screaming at success, cheering for failure.

The Republican Party pander to the extremists. White conservative males have lower intelligence! This is ripe for the picking of the professional bigots that run within the Republican Party. They need to keep them riled up with issues like gay marriage, gun control, radical Islam, Black on White crime and the undocumented workers taking jobs from hard working white people.

A majority of the public is bought into this crap that comes from the Republican Party. Wonder why they still can't figure out whether the president is a Christian or Muslim? Ask the Republican Party.

GOP Witch Hunt Leads To Attorney General Eric Holder Being Held In Contempt!

Attorney General Eric Holder was held in contempt of Congress after Republicans demanded the top cop deliver his assessment on the botched Fast & Furious gun scandal. President Barack Obama angered by the Republicans decision to hold the Attorney General in contempt issued an executive privilege to prevent Holder from self-incrimination.

The Republicans finally went ahead and held a contempt charge against Attorney General Eric Holder over the Operation Fast & Furious scandal. Now the Republican controlled House of Representatives will cast a vote for no confidence and force the Attorney General to step down. It's likely the Republicans will vote in favor of contempt. The Democratic controlled Senate will not allow this to go through without a 60 vote majority, so it has probably no chance to get passed.

Now you've going to find out what happens when you go after the Obama Administration.

Since the Republicans want to go after the president and Attorney General Holder over this ridiculous culture war, how about the president and his legal team find ways to go after the Republicans?

See the Republicans would rather have a major bank firm lose billions of dollars in a bad trade!

See the Republicans would rather allow homes go into foreclosure instead of passing a jobs bill. They rather waste their time on these stupid culture wars instead of passing a jobs bill. There hasn't been a jobs bill passed since President Barack Obama presented his suggestion to Congress.

See the Republicans would rather waste taxpayer's time on a controversy that should have been put away a long time ago.


Attorney General Eric Holder should investigate members of Congress. They need a lesson! I mean if you got members of Congress wasting their time on issues such as Operation Fast & Furious, how about we look into Corrupt and Need To Be Replaced! Let's begin the search for corrupt politicians. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has a list.

Now tell me Congress, if you want to bother Attorney General Eric Holder with a distraction, how about he look into you people in Congress?

I mean a "do nothing Congress" taking money under the table! A Congress that's giving away the farm for a vote. Taking kickbacks and stomping your feet to get your way! That stuff can go on long enough. Wait til' Holder gets his subpoena against you!
