Former Black Panther Charles Barron Run For Congress Will Rile Up Republicans!

Perennial candidate Charles Barron (right) is running for retiring Democratic Congressman Edolphus Towns seat. Many Democrats fear that Barron's rhetoric could put the seat in Republicans hands. They throwing their support to Hakeem Jefferies, (left), a New York Assemblyman from Brooklyn. Barron is a former Black Panther who has rhetoric that can come off as totally offensive!

New York City councilman Charles Barron is no stranger to the media. After all he's been the token Democrat on that old Fox News debate show with serial agitators Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes.

Now that he's back in the limelight once again. The U.S. Congressional seat being vacated by Representative Edolphus Towns is going to be a safe seat for the Democrats. But if Charles Barron wins, then it's going to be a disaster. A seat that should be considered safe for the Democrats may swing to the Republicans.

Towns and many other representatives gotten so frustrated with fellow members stalling progress, the safest thing for them to do is retire. The Democrats are dispirited by the lack of steadiness from President Barack Obama and members of Congress. They may sit it out if President Barack Obama doesn't get his "Hope" back!

Barron is no stranger to controversy. He was once a member of the original Black Panthers for Self Justice. This would be his umpteenth time running for higher office so this would make him a perennial candidate.

Congressman Edolphus Towns (D-New York)
As a radical activist, Barron's statements come off as a tad bit offensive to others. Barron wants to focus on issues within Black neighborhoods of Brooklyn. Cool. But his past statements towards Whites, LGBT, those who practice in the Jewish faith have gotten the Democrats a bit of unease.

A man who wants to focus on issues such as the controversial New York Police Department's Stop & Frisk maneuver. A man who wants to bring business to the struggling communities. Cool. But his radical statements such as reparations for slavery will unease the Democratic Party and even Black leaders.

A man who is out there protesting the NYPD for using deadly force on unarmed citizens such as Sean Bell, Amadou Bailo Diallo, Timothy Stansbury, and others. He's protested the controversial profiling of Muslims in New York. Cool. But his reactionary outrage and standing near the New Black Panthers and Nation of Islam is a reason for concern among the Democratic Party.


So the Democrats got a bit of nervousness. If Barron does win the Democratic primary he's going to sink President Barack Obama in the general. 

The conservatives already paint President Barack Obama as some New Black Panther, Marxist who tax and spend on White people's money! Conservatives believe that the president was born a radical who wants to redistribute the wealth so his "brothas" Louis Farrakhan, Spike Lee and Jesse Jackson can have their 40 acres and a mule.


The conservatives ridicule him for takes golf outings and his family on vacations. The conservatives think that the president is actually a Muslim. Some even think that since he's good friends with Al Sharpton, Barron would be another one of those so-called radical friends. 

And of course, the ongoing vetting by Sean Hannity and his Agitation Express (or what I call his radio and television programs). 


Also a notorious bigot by the name of Dr. David Duke endorsed Charles Barron. Duke despises the tactics used by Barron, but he found mutual agreement with the councilman over the issues with Israel. Barron channels Representative Ron Paul (R-Texas) theory of cutting off foreign aid to Israel. As with Duke, Charles Barron believe that Israel is the cause of turmoil in the world. David Duke is a member of the White Nationalist community Stormfront and is a public speaker in racist circles. Duke was a perennial candidate who managed to serve one term as a member of the Louisiana House of Representatives. He was the former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. Duke was the clean cut professional bigot. 


For anyone who thinks White supremacists are stupid assholes who have nothing better to do with their lives other than agitate the Black community. You're wrong! The most dangerous person is the professional bigot. 

The professional bigot can create websites, rally up fundraising and agitate a disturbed individual into committing an act that may inflict harm on a person without the professional bigot getting their hands dirty.


Barron is being challenged by Hakeem Jeffries, a New York Assemblyman who represents a portion of the Brooklyn neighborhoods. Jeffries, is an unknown on the national level. Rest assured that the Democratic Party is going to make sure he's their pick. They don't want Barron to win because the party thinks his statements could sabotage the president.


Right now, a Republican hasn't declared an intent on running. There's a third party candidate in the race. A person from the New York Conservative Party. The Conservative Party of New York is a far right political organization that endorses candidates for general election. They also sync with Republicans if the candidate decides to run on the same principles of the third party.


Barron is a figure that could spell disaster for the Democratic Party. Although it's likely Hakeem Jeffries is going to be the nominee for the district, we have to be very careful about the mood of the people in that district. They're may be a few New Black Panthers waving batons and giving menacing looks at voters!


Of course I am being sarcastic! 

But seriously, put your chips on the less controversial candidate!

GULITY! Ex-Coach Jerry Sandusky Goes Up The Creek!

 


It's official, word has it that the former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky was found guilty on 45 of 48 charges of molestation of boys. It's a wrap. This is a major story. I haven't made it home yet! I am glued to CNN and many of the local news channels following this. The former assistant of the legendary coach Joe Paterno is found guilty.

I will update this story as soon as possible.

Another Flesh Eating Incident! Man Bites A Piece Of Arm And The Police Arrest!

Mugshot of Charles Baker ( Courtesy of Manatee County Sheriff's Office)
Charles Baker , 26 could pass as a stand in for the late Ol' Dirty Bastard. Another incident that involves Black men and bath salts! This incident copies the controversial incident in which a Miami man mulled off the face of a homeless man!
                    
Once again, Black men and women! Get the hell off them balt salts!

You're giving more ammunition to conservatives and White supremacists who want to paint the Black community as "Niggers" and "primates". They want to find another reason to taint President Barack Obama and use this as way to dog whistle extremists.

Florida once again is the place for another incident that lands a man in jail. This is not as bad as the Rudy Eugene and Ron Poppo incident, but it's a trend that has to be getting the attention of Florida legislators.

A Tampa Bay area man has gotten himself in a fix.

This young man stripped himself naked and went forth to attacking a person and the police had to restrain him.

According to CBS Tampa, the Manatee County sheriff’s report stated that Charles Baker, 26, showed up at his girlfriend’s house in Palmetto high on an unknown substance. Baker knocked on the door, and barged in the house screaming. Then he took off his clothes and started throwing the furniture around.

The report indicated he would not calm down, so Jeffrey Blake, 48, a resident of the home, tried to restrain him. Baker then bit him and took a “chunk of meat out of his left bicep.” Blake was still able to restrain Baker on the floor, and held him there until the police arrived.

This incident adds to a string of drug-related “zombie” attacks. Last month Miami police said Rudy Eugene was under the influence of “Bath Salts” when he stripped down and started eating a homeless man’s face. Officers ended up shooting him dead after failed attempts to get him to stop.

Bath salts are dangerous substances. Anyone who ingest these substances could hallucinate and create a danger to the public.

Congress is working on a nationwide ban of the substances. Hopefully the Congress could get out of freaking gridlock in order to do something for a change!

Tweens Filmed & Taunting Bus Monitor! Video Goes Viral.

                   

Forget the saying that Bart Simpson or Stewie Griffin taught my children to act like this! It's the parents' fault for their children being so disrespectful in school or with law enforcement.

In upstate New York, a video that circulating around YouTube has the media agitators buzzing!

A woman who is a bus monitor was ridiculed and harassed by a few students! One of the students managed to take out his iPhone and publish the video on YouTube.

Courtesy of YouTube/Associated Press.



His little experience of taunting Karen Klein has the woman gaining attention. The video went viral and people are rushing to help her fulfill her dream of taking her family on a well deserved vacation.

Karen Klein is a 68 year old grandmother who held her job as bus monitor for many years had to keep her cool under so much pressure from a bunch of teenage bullies. It's a shame though, that some of most youngest children are going to grow up to become the liberal or conservative agitators that we grown accustomed to.

A few donations gave her over $250,000 dollars and many are sympathizing with her.

As school officials determine who agitated the incident, a warm hearted Karen Klein wants the police to not to press charges on the students. Her kind heart shines through a bunch of heartless youth.

I would say that in regards to the news media getting involved. All the excitement has made her the hero of the month. And many are hoping this event will give a bit of clarity to those who bully the elderly.

Yeah, I am just like everyone else when it comes to getting frustrated with older Americans. We're only human! But let's give them their dues! They worked hard for us and we should at least pay them their respect.

Black Patrons Bring Attention To A North Carolina Bar's Racist Tactics!


Party Like A Rock Star!


In Raleigh, North Carolina, a downtown hole in the wall is literally a-hole! The service is not only rude but the treatment of the patrons who happen to be Black is what gotten this establishment under fire.

Downtown Sports Bar & Grill is the establishment and a Harvard bound Black person is the one who brought this to the attention of the news agitators.

The bar has a list of rules that seem coded to prevent young Black males and some females from enjoying entertainment at this establishment. I guess when you're a Black person and you want to visit Downtown, you're going to have a "membership" before you get in. If you manage to get in, they order you to make at least a $20 purchase of alcoholic beverages or you can leave. Don't worry about those so called gang signs or those trendy hats! You're not allowed to wear them. Nevermind the preppy college kid who happens to be White wearing his North Carolina Blue, you the Black patron can't wear it. If you're caught wearing it, you're out!

Make It Rain, Homie!


Okay, we're at the point of insanity in the age of President Barack Obama. A state that he carried in the 2008 U.S. Elections is now a grab for the Republicans. Issues such as this club and their stupid policies and discrimination to Black patrons is a reason for the unease within our country.

According to news sources and a White professor, this club is now being looked at by the news media. The news has been making the rounds on the local and national blogosphere since North Carolina Central University Professor Philip Christman posted on his blog.

 Jezbel and Gawker have the dirt on this establishment.

Jonathan Wall and two other friends arrived at Downtown Sports Bar and Grill around 12:30 AM. "You need a membership to come in tonight," the bouncer told them. "I've never seen you here before." The friends were confused, since the bar is better known for its all-you-can-eat wings and massive TVs than fancy private parties — and because the people in line before them walked right in after showing their ID.
The only difference between those people and my friends and I was our race. Still, we stood at the door in bewilderment asking "What?" as he further tried to explain that we weren't going to be able to come in because of our "non-member" status. However, as he was explaining this, a police officer walked up to where he was standing to tell him something unrelated. As soon as he caught sight of the officer beside him, he said "Never mind, y'all go ahead." This was the first interesting ordeal of the night, but not the last.
Once inside, Wall was accosted by an employee [who he later learned was the bar's manager] after standing near the bar by himself for a few moments. "Either buy a drink or leave right now," the man told him. Wall said he was waiting for his friend to come back from the bathroom, but man insisted he had to buy a drink right away. When Wall continued to look for his friend, the employee physically attacked him:
After he cleaned the table, it looked as if he was headed back behind the bar when he came up to me and said "Either buy a drink or leave right now." Again shocked, I replied "I'm just waiting for my friend to come back from the bathroom." He responded, "I don't care, get a drink or leave right now." I said "Okay" and began texting. He walked away from me, then went and sat with his back to the bar as he stared me down. Being non-confrontational, I looked towards the bathroom, waiting to see my friend come out so that we could leave. I also took notice of how many of the people surrounding the bar and the club area didn't have drinks in their hands. I felt as if I was singled out. The common denominator, again, was that I was the only black person around. After staring me down for about 30 seconds, he walked back over and said "Are you going to buy a drink, or are you going to leave?" I replied, "As soon as my friend comes from the bathroom." Before I cold utter another word, he grabbed my right wrist and my left arm and threw them behind my head in an effort to constrain me, although I was speaking to him a calm and non-aggressive tone and didn't once even gesture. He then used excessive force to push me through the crown and out of the club while I was still in this "headlock" of sorts, before pushing me out of the front door. As soon as he grabbed me, I let my body go limp because with the degree of force he was already using, I didn't want him to think I was trying to fight back. I accepted that he was on an ego-trip, and let him guide me through the club in this position before pushing me out. I was completely shocked and more saddened that this was happening than angry.
When Wall tried to tell the bouncer what had happened, he waved him away and told him to get lost. Upset "that what I believed to have been blunt and undeniable segregation was taking place in an establishment in Raleigh, the city I was born, raised in, and love," Wall sought out a nearby police officer, who told him "this was a very unfortunate occurrence, but not an isolated instance":
She explained that this happens all the time, and that if she approached the bartender about it, he'd have witnesses that would corroborate whatever story he made up as to why he kicked me out in such an aggressive manner. She then explained that my options were limited because if she proceeded with getting statements from both of us and conducted an investigation, the end result could be worse for me: either it would get dismissed in court, or we would both be charged with what is the equivalent of "fighting" and both have a misdemeanor. She said "He probably has a few charges already, but you're young with a bright future ahead of you, and you don't want that on your record."
Wall wasn't sure "whether I should trust a police officer within the network of bouncers/officers who worked the many clubs/bars of Glennwood" until the man who threw him out stepped outside of the bar and he pointed him out to the officer, who approached him:
They talked for about 3 minutes before she came back to me and said, "I knew this was going to happen. Now, I don't believe him one bit, but he says that he has three people who witnessed you throw an elbow at him before he restrained you." Shocked is an understatement. As I said earlier, I talked in a non-confrontational, clam [sic] and respectful tone, and didn't even gesture when talking. There is no way that he could have perceived me as having thrown an elbow and I didn't understand how three people would lie and say that I did. I asked the officer about video camera footage. If the club used cameras, they would show the conversation, and his aggressiveness in constraining me despite me posing no threat and remaining calm throughout the conversation and his constraining me. She said that it would require a search warrant and that there was "No telling" how the video could be edited, tampered with, or even done away with before it would be required to be handed over to the investigators.
Wall was frustrated by the officer's complacency:
What troubled me about my conversation with the officer was that she seemed to assume the worst case scenario in every possible solution to my encounter. She kept talking about how much paper work would be involved, as if that were going to deter me from seeking justice. Still, it was 2am, and after speaking to both of my parents and my friends, I realized that justice couldn't be served that night. Because of the lack of witnesses, it would simply be my word versus his (and that of his three "witnesses"), which could potentially yield extremely negative consequences for me, even though I had done nothing wrong throughout the entirety of the ordeal.
After Wall told his family about his night, his 21-year-old cousin called him and asked the name of the bar that had thrown him out. She gasped when he told her it was Downtown Sports Bar and Grill, because she had been barred from entering the same spot earlier that night. "The only common denominator in her and my own dealings with the bar was one single factor: race," Wall wrote. "We were both African-Americans trying to enter and enjoy a bar that seemed to only welcome those not like us."

Since legal action seemed futile, Wall used his social media skills instead, tweeting and emailing his story to everyone he could think of. There are almost 200 comments on the post Christman wrote yesterday, many written by Raleigh residents who say they've been discriminated against because of their race. For example:
The same thing happened when my boyfriend (who is black), his 2 friends, (who are black), his other 2 friends (who are Iranian), and I (I'm mixed) went there. Except that a cop was standing right next to the bouncer and heard him say that we needed a membership to get in. I had been let in numerous times before when I went with my other friends, but this time got rejected. I was livid because that line is used when bouncers don't want to let someone in. And nowhere does it say membership is required to enter into Downtown Sports Bar. I've decided to boycott it.
I have experienced being turned away by the membership tactic. (I am black). Right after I was turned away three girls (all white) came up and went right in.
omgee, same thing happened to me on saturday! my friends always try to get me to go and I finally said yes. the first 3 [one mixed , 2 white] weren't carded; however me and the fifth friend were ! was told I was using a fake & dont even know the excuse she was given. we were both black, btw .
As a white female, I visited downtown sports a year ago and witnessed the EXACT same thing. I was horrified, tried talking to the bouncer (who didn't want to hear a word from me) and was pushed back into a crowded room. I have never been back.
The same thing happened to me and my friends at Downtown Sports Bar! My two friends and I, all of us white, got in no problem. However my boyfriend and his friend, both black, were turned away for not having on collared shirts. After they were denied entry, we stood outside and witnessed 5 white males being let in that had on regular t-shirts just like my friends did!!! Absolutely disgusting, I truly hope the news will do an investigation.
WOW…I had an issue with this place too…As I walked up i watched short white guy walk up to the black bouncer and whisper something…i kind of figured something was about to happen…I was not allowed in for the dumbest reason ever…."My Shirt was to long"…the damn shirt stopped at the top of my zipper and it was a tailored button up…i offered to tuck the shirt in and they still refuse to allow me in…i stood back shocked as two white guys with baggy jeans and sneakers walk in…i pointed out 2 guys with longer button ups than i had on and i was told they were allowed in earlier that day and we have a night dress code…i was pissed…my friend was said "just tell him he cant come in because he's black.
One early commenter, 21-year-old Karimah Shepherd, had a similar experience at the bar — down to the "membership" excuse, the furious manager, and the lackadaisical police response — and started a Facebook group after coming across Wall's story. Less than 24 hours later, it has almost 3,000 members. She told us that their goal is to garner media attention, and it's working: a local newspaper is planning a front page story,

WRAL is investigating the incident, and a large protest at the bar is planned for next Saturday. Shepherd said at least 50 people have emailed her about their own horrible Downtown Sports Bar and Grill experiences. "It's shocking how much support we've gained in such a short time," she said, sounding overwhelmed.

The one local outlet that's covered the story, New Raleigh, identified the man who threw Wall out as Todd Chriscoe, the bar's manager. Chriscoe, whose name comes up often in the other commenters' complaints, is no stranger to the law: his rap sheet is peppered with misdemeanors and felonies. So why don't police take the numerous allegations against him more seriously?

There are some Black patrons who took their campaign to shut the business down to Facebook. And it's gotten a whole lot of attention. We'll keep you posted on the results of this controversy here on Journal de la Reyna.

Sanford Police Chief Shot Himself In The Foot!

The Sanford Police Chief Was Told To Bounce After His Officers Botched Up The Trayvon Martin Case!

Damn I just though he shot himself in the foot when he found out that the Sanford city manager gave him the pink slip. After botching up the Trayvon Martin murder, Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee was bounced right out of the police headquarters.

Lying low for a time, Lee came under fire after his officers allowed accused shooter George Zimmerman walk. Zimmerman claimed self-defense when he got into a confrontation with Martin. He shot the teenager once and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to CNN, Lee had submitted a resignation letter in April that said he was stepping down, but city commissioners voted not to accept it.

Also Wednesday, the Seminole County Sheriff's Office released 911 tapes of calls placed the morning after the shooting, when police had still not identified the 17-year--old victim. He was unarmed and carrying no identification when he was shot while walking to his father's girlfriend's house after picking up some snacks at a nearby store.

In the first call, Trayvon Martin's father, Tracy Martin, calls police at 8:39 a.m. asking to file a missing persons report, which typically would not be accepted until 24 hours after a person has been discovered missing. "It hasn't really been 24 hours," he tells the police dispatcher. "But I'm from Miami and my son's up here with me ... he don't know anybody up here."

In the return call, placed nine minutes later, the dispatcher tells the victim's father that an officer is en route to where he was staying.

Lee had said Zimmerman was not charged in the shooting because there were no grounds to disprove his account of the events -- that Martin had attacked him. Since then, Zimmerman has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder.

The incident sparked a national debate as to whether the shooting was an act of racial profiling by Zimmerman and about the state's "stand-your-ground" law.

During an appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists convention in New Orleans, Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, said the family has been heartened by the response from the community.

"It's just nice to see so many people that support us, so many people that walk up to us just to give us a hug. 

Just to tell us that they support us," she said. "It does the heart good. Yes, we still are hurting. We just had to go through a Mother's Day and a Father's Day and it hurts. It just hurts."

According to the defense team of George Zimmerman, the teenager slammed the man's head on the ground and he called for help. Zimmerman claimed that Trayvon Martin saw his gun and tried to reach for it, so I guess he decided to pull it out and shoot him. Once again, this is a shaky story seeing that Zimmerman was told not to follow the teenager. And for one thing, I thought the firearm was hidden in his coat. How could the teenager see the gun if it was hidden?

Anyways, Zimmerman is still held in jail on contempt of court and had his bond revoked. Zimmerman and his wife were lying about how much money they've raised to help his defense. Zimmerman had gotten a lower bond and the prosecutors found out that his wife Shellie was told to hide money and his secondary passport if he was to be found not guilty.

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!

Operation Distract And Embarrass

Congressman Darrell Issa (R-California) and Attorney General Eric Holder square off over Operation Fast & Furious.
It's only gun rights for White people, gun control for Blacks, Latinos and Muslims! Most Whites are obsessed with firearms and kill in the name of a religion or a radical cause. When you see Blacks, Hispanics/Latinos, or even Muslims with firearms, they scream gun control. The very same people who scream gun rights complain about people of color owning and using firearms. They claim its our faults for America's crime! They want control over us, but never control over them!

Over a year ago, Republicans took back control of the House of Representatives. Fueled by the Tea Party Movement, many disgruntled Republicans were energized and they were ready to throw the Democratic Party out of power. Fox News, The Drudge Report, conservative talk radio, and other outlets managed to deliver a damaging blow to the progressive agenda.

The Republicans promised to work on bringing back jobs to Americans and work with the president on issues.

It's been nothing more than a game of Russian Roulette. The Republicans abandoned their promises of bringing back jobs. They are focused on the culture war. The issues of repealing the historic health care law, abortion restrictions, voter identification laws, reciting the Constitution when presenting laws, stripping federal funding from NPR, PBS, Planned Parenthood and domestic austerity cuts are the goals of the Republican Congress.

Republicans have control of the U.S. House of Representatives and state governorships. They can pass laws that could hurt a growing economy. They are so focused on domestic austerity cuts and practically trying to disrupt the president's agenda. They have no time for compromise. The U.S. Senate is barely in control of the Democratic Party. The Democrats had 58 senators and two independents who caucused with the party giving them the super-majority in legislation. But with a few months of time, a bunch of conservative Democrats holding back progress and Republican obstructionism, the progressive agenda was defeated by conservative agitators who couldn't stand the fact a Black man is getting things done. The U.S. Senate is struggling to pass laws as well.

The House of Representatives can pass laws but it will not go through the U.S. Senate. The U.S. Senate can pass laws and the House of Representatives can bring it up in committee and it can be delayed or ran through test votes that fail. The passing of laws that go against the president's agenda face a veto. With Congress at a political stalemate and gridlock, the president can't do anything other than give temporary solutions to a growing problem. The president now invokes his executive privileges to get things done and the Republicans and their conservative allies are now upset about it.

They threaten to sue the White House over three decisions that the president used his executive privilege on.

White people are more pessimistic about the policies of President Barack Obama. Race is a major factor to why White voters are likely going to be harder to please this time. The Republicans know that and they'll rile up these people with rhetoric like "Obama's going to tax and spend, bring bigger government, take your guns, and give handouts to his brothas!"

President Barack Obama has not grown government. He hasn't spent like a drunken sailor! He has not given handouts to anyone. He's not going to take your firearms. He's not working to help his "brothas" get most of the White man's profits!

All this stuff I've said will not soak in the mind of a conservative. At this point, they're convinced that he's a "Socialist". Or he could be a Muslim. He's not a natural born citizen! His real name is Berry Soetoro. He's half Arab and Black. His real father is Frank Marshall Davis. He's getting fawning media coverage. Blacks are voting for him because of race.

The word salad of a White conservative: Reactionary statement insert Obama!

Now in 2010, U.S. Border Agent Brian Terry was gunned down by gangsters. Mexican drug smugglers used firearms they obtained from gun smugglers here in the United States. The failed Operation Fast & Furious scandal has become the latest distraction. The Republicans want to focus the economy and bring forth these scandals to embarrass the president.

This issue was put to rest when the Democrats were in control of Congress. It didn't sit well with Republican congressman Darrell Issa of California. Now that he's the chairman of House Oversight Committee he's determined to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for refusing to give the necessary documents in regards to the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) agency's handing in the matter. According to Wikipedia, the Operation Fast & Furious scandal started by a system known as "Gunwalking" or "letting guns walk." It was a tactic whereby the ATF knowingly allowed thousands of guns to be bought by suspected arms traffickers ("gunrunners") working through straw purchasers on behalf of Mexican drug cartels.

It was started from 2006 and ended in 2011. The operation lead to arrest of many members of the drug cartels but the lost of law enforcement officer Brian Terry has been the price paid for the operation.

Attorney General Eric Holder, the first Black law enforcement chief has been under fire for some time by Republicans because they think he's held back documents that may incriminate those involved in Operation Fast & Furious.

Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) have both openly endorse the resignation of the Attorney General. Many conservatives and gun rights activists are licking their chops hoping that this contempt vote will go through and they can remove Holder from his position.

President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party have complained that the Republicans are wasting their time on an issue that should be put to rest. Many Republicans in secret are fearing that the overreach may prove the Democrats point that the party is plotting political sabotage.  

Congressman Darrell Issa (R-California) met with Attorney General Holder this week to discuss the issue of document and apparently it didn't go so well. Congressman Elliah Cummings (D-Maryland) acknowledged that Congressman Issa wasn't going to budge on this regardless of what Holder does. Even if Holder gave classified documents to Issa, the congressman would still invoke a contempt committee vote. The meeting was considered a publicity stunt. After a few hours of talking, Holder came out with the assertion that political gamesmanship is the question, not the issue of the documents being handed over.

Think Progress obtained the interview that could damage Issa's argument. Once again, Sean Hannity inserted his legal advice into a matter and its guaranteed the Republicans are following this silly conservative agitator into the abyss.

According to Think Progress, In an interview with Sean Hannity, Issa claimed that the Obama administration “made a crisis” when they continued the Bush-era gunrunning operations because they wanted to “us[e] this crisis to somehow take away or limit people’s Second Amendment rights.”

This accusation originates from a former militiaman who supports violent resistance to imagined government attempts to seize his guns. And it amounts to an accusation that a series of botched gun stings that begun during the Bush Administration were actually part of a secret Obama plot to release guns to Mexican drug lords, so that those guns could then be used to kill federal agents, which would then cause a national uprising in support of gun control.

Now you got the NRA and conservatives demanding that President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder hand over the documents. Many conservative online hope the Republicans threats of impeachment are coming! They want it and maybe the Republicans can deliver!

President Barack Obama invoked his executive privilege to prevent Holder from handing over classified documents.

The conservative are screaming at the decision and are thinking this is tyrannical.

Whatever.

If the Democratic Party comes back into power, I hope they use the opportunity to hold members of the George W. Bush Administration accountable for Hurricane Katrina, the CIA torture memos, the outing of Valerie Plame, Rupert Murdoch's NewsCorp phone hacking scandal, the firing of U.S. Attorneys for partisan reasons, and the shooting of Dick Cheney's friend. Yeah, the Democrats been soft on prosecuting Bush's former crew! This is what the Republicans want to do to President Barack Obama. How about a little gridlock from the left, please?

This is an ongoing controversy, we here at Journal de la Reyna will continue to follow this.

O'Really? The Most Boring Talk Show Host Complains About The Cool President Being Boring!

Are Bill O'Reilly and His Wife Living Separately?
The most boring talk show host claims President Barack Obama's important press conferences are boring. I'm surprised that Bill O'Reilly is married to an attractive woman. I would of thought he would be the least attractive person to talk to.


Bill O'Reilly has been the leading cable news agitator. The O'Reilly Factor 8pm slot is clobbering Ed Schultz, Nancy Grace, Anderson Cooper and Eliot Spitzer in a 4:1 cable news lead.

O'Reilly, a no nonsense conservative agitator goes forth to say the president's press conference was the "most boring press conference he's seen in his 37 years of reporting".

Reminder. The O'Reilly Factor attracts an audience that's over 55 years old. He talks about things that are really boring. The most exciting thing he's ever had in his years of being in the news was his conflicts with Senator Al Franken (D-Minnesota), Michael Moore, Jeremy Glick, Ludacris, Nas, Snoop Dogg, Keith Olbermann and Geraldo Rivera.

Bill O'Reilly channels the daily talking points from the Republican Party and he'll give his spin on it. He allows conservative agitators such as Laura Ingraham, Bernard Goldberg, Juan Williams, John Stossel, Glenn Beck and Dennis Miller go uninterrupted, while anyone who doesn't toll the line get usually shouted down or thrown off his show because they've angered O'Reilly.

"The Spin Stops Here!" says Bill O'Reilly.

Really?

Bill O'Reilly is an irritating man. After many years of irritating his wife, I guess she split and he's been bitter ever since. He's also feeling guilty after the George Tiller tragedy too. He was ranting and raving on television about the late term abortion doctor and it drove a right wing extremist to kill the doctor while he was attending church.

Yeah, O'Reilly, you're boring! I haven't watched your show in almost three years.

You couldn't make it on radio, so you've gave up! Thought you can be the next Rush Limbaugh? Wrong!

You want to say the coolest guy to ever occupy the White House is boring?

Bill O'Reilly, drop the independent act! We know you're going to support the Republican nominee!

Look at your Republican candidate! You have a person who is a moderate. He wants to be deeply conservative and he'll switch his gears to appeal to his party's most disgruntled voters. You have a man who tucks his shirt into his mom jeans! You have man who doesn't even drink a cold beer but yet bets a $10,000 bet trying to prove he's not inconsistent on issues. You have a man who admits he's boring! They are practically begging him to pick a political novice senator from Florida for another overreach play for the Sarah Palin vote.

You got to be kidding, right?

Mitt Romney To Attend NAACP Conference!


Back in 2008, at a stop in Jacksonville, Florida, Mitt Romney took a photo with Black youth and he uttered "Who Let The Dogs Out?" in response.  Romney is trying to chip away President Barack Obama's strongest supporters.
Well, it's a stunning turn of event for the former Massachusetts governor, the perennial candidate for president Republican Mitt Romney.

In July, Romney will speak at the NAACP conference. Will he use the charm offense to chip away the president's most loyal base?

The Republican Party and the Black community. A friendship of convenience?

Most Blacks vote primarily Democrat in the national elections. They usually vote Republican in local elections. Nonetheless, all politics is local and Democrats and Republicans see this as a potential to court voters undecided on who they'll vote for in the general election.

Conservative agitators such as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly kind of make the Republican Party look intrusive and divisive. They ramble on radio and television about the epidemic of Black crime, the blatant disrespect of the president and making issues of Civil Rights leaders and organizations. They kind of make Blacks less likely support Republicans.

Mitt Romney is a panderer to whatever the political winds shift. That kind of makes Republicans nervous. But again, the Republicans are enthusiastic about voting this year! The Democrats aren't so much. The president and Congress have been stalemating for the last few years and many Americans feel that President Barack Obama can't deliver the "Hope and Change" they've been looking for.

In 2007 when Mitt Romney ran the first time, he along with Senator John McCain (R-Arizona), former mayor Rudy Giuliani and former senator Fred Thompson skipped the Morgan State Debate. This debate focused on issues in the Black community. The issues that matter didn't seem important to then presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Now it's like he's seen the light and he'll focus on trying to win a few Black votes.

Romney and his supporters are mostly White males. Many people are starting to warm up to the 65-year old father of five. Romney's biggest strength is his record on business as founder of Bain Capital. His weakness is his inconsistency on issues domestic and international alongside his record as governor.

Republican congressmen Tim Scott (R-South Carolina) and Allen West (R-Florida) are working hard to help Romney bring over a few disgruntled Black voters.

Things that comes to mind with his decision to attend the NAACP Conference.

Will Romney denounce the smear tactics of the late Andrew Breitbart and Matt Drudge?

Will Romney address the issues of unemployment in the Black community?

Will Romney focus on small business in the Black community?

Will Romney address the divide between wealth?

Will Romney address the issue of White flight and misconceptions of crime in the Black community?
 
Will Romney stay focused on issues like home ownership, single families, married families, the intrusion tactics by law enforcement and thoughts of religion in the Black community?

Will Romney discuss issues like health and wellness in the Black community?

Will Romney avoid political dog whistles?

His former rivals Herman Cain, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) and Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota) have used political dog whistles to rile up the extremist wing of the Republican Party. Conservative agitators such as Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Sarah Palin, Tucker Carlson, Michelle Malkin, Jesse Lee Peterson, and others who pander to disrespecting the president and the Black community.

Now many Republicans are going to chime in and voice disgust about the candidate's decision to reach out to a base that wants nothing to do with him. Some conservative are probably thinking he's walking into a trap. Some of the issues that will be discussed will make Romney uncomfortable. Will he handle the matter carefully?


Swing Your Chain Sneakers Low!

So many things to discuss on Journal de la Reyna, but I'll just give you things that happen to float along the websites these last few days.

                          

The Daily Caller controversy still continues to get airplay. President Barack Obama was interrupted by a heckler from the conservative agitating website and people are demanding an apology from the website. The scandal has managed to bring negative attention to the heckler. Neil Munro goes to Fox News and gives his side of the story to conservative agitator Sean Hannity. The conservative agitator is notorious for trying to give controversial figures airtime to redeem themselves after a scandal. Hannity is the go-to-guy for Republicans and conservative activists. Munro was the man who infamously heckled the president when he was making an executive order to cease the arrest and deportation of law-abiding undocumented workers. The reporter had the nerve to say the president had "duck and cover" after three interruptions. Munro also is blasted for his use of calling immigrants, "foreigners". Hannity and The Daily Caller founder Tucker Carlson endorsed the reporter outburst.

                                 

Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida) is apparently not vetted by the Mitt Romney Presidential Campaign. The conservative media is buzzing about the possibility of the Florida senator being a running mate to a depressing candidate. Perennial candidate Mitt Romney got his feathers ruffled after the president made his announcement of rolling back his tough deportation stances. Romney has pretty much ducked most political landmines hoping that he can stay focused on the economy.

                               

President Barack Obama has chosen Senator John Kerry (D-Massachusetts) for the role of debate coach. In regards of the pick, Senator Kerry is going to represent a mock Mitt Romney. The former 2004 Democratic presidential nominee has been relatively low key on most parts and this has been one of the things buzzing this week. Romney hasn't decided on who's going to play the mock version of Obama.

 

The War on Women is back! A state legislator Lisa Brown was censured after she made her pleas to Michigan lawmakers on a controversial law that may strip Planned Parenthood of state funding. Republicans silenced Representative Brown after she say "vagina" multiple times to discuss her frustrations of the proposed law.The lawmaker got her revenge on Republican lawmakers by gathering over 2,500 supporters to appear in Lansing, Michigan at the state capitol. They perform the Vagina Monologues.

                          

Many Blacks are followed and pulled over by police. The unwritten code of law enforcement is basically in my opinion: Law enforcement has to "make split decisions", "know your problem areas", "protect your [police] family", "assume Blacks are irate or dangerous", and "never makes yourself a part of the media". I've heard and known about law enforcement doing unlawful things from running red lights, having sex with co-workers or prostitutes to intimidating Blacks and undocumented workers. There are many who ruin the powers that comes with the badge. In New York City, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the Republican now turned independent media mogul has decided to advocate a "stop-and-frisk" rule in order to reduce possible crime activities in his city. Many Civil Rights advocates are up and arms about the policy. After the last tragedy being Sean Bell, one would think this is another attempt to mistaken Black men as "natural born criminals" in the eyes of law enforcement. The MSNBC commentator Al Sharpton, NAACP leader Ben Jealous, actor J.D. Williams (Preston Brodus aka Brodie from The Wire) and American Civil Liberties Union are protesting the move by Bloomberg. There was a silent march in New York City to protest the notion of law enforcement's stop-and-frisk policies.

               

Rappers denied. Hip-hop/pop singer Chris Brown defends himself from accusations that he instigated the fight between him and actor/rapper/singer Drake. In the wake of a simmering feud between those two is Rihanna. Apparently Drake dated Rihanna for a few months prior to the domestic violence incident that landed Chris Brown in jail. Rapper Meek Mill and his representatives are denying claims that he threw a bottle at Brown and a female patron. Drake also took to the websites stating that he didn't instigate the fight. This feud has gotten a lot of attention. Brown's temper and antics has landed him in the tabloids. Brown nearly ruined his career and many in the media see him and Rihanna as troubled pop stars willing to put their lives in danger for attention. Brown, his personal bodyguard Big Pat, NBA star Tony Parker and others were injured in the fight. Lucy Pavlovsky was hit with a bottle. She is a model and representative for Macy's Department Stores. Pavlovsky took to the internet to give her side of the story. She threatens to sue the entertainers and the nightclub. Another woman who calls herself Veronica has shown her stitches to the celebrity agitating website TMZ.  Another woman comes forward with injuries. An Australian woman who was a fan and tourist was injured badly. The club that held the event was shut down and police are investigating the incident. If it was found out that Brown or rapper Meek Mill instigated the fight, they may go to prison for this. They were on probation for criminal charges.

                                                        

A white supremacist is trying to become a lobbyist. In a strange turn of events, far right groups are actively recruiting members to their folds. In another attempt at creating publicity a Neo-Nazi by the name of John Bowles has registered himself as a lobbyist. The Republicans are dog whistling to extremists with rhetoric that comes off as sign of rising tension in the militia movement. The Ku Klux Klan and many activists are cheering on the rise of recruitment. The former police officer, former military officer, that disgruntled White father who can't stand his child dating outside their race, or the American who feels like the president isn't naturally born, see White Nationalism as a solution.

                          

West Virginia Democrats are taking their ball and run. Governor Earl Ray Tomblin, Senator Joe Manchin and Congressman Nick Rahall are skipping the convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. They are facing tougher reelection chances this time around and they rather avoid progress in the name of their ignorant constituents. The Democratic Party may avoid aiding them in their reelection if they continue to attack the president. Those West Virginia Democrats are poor white working class morons. They have the lowest IQ among American voters. They are the people who voted for a federal inmate over President Barack Obama. Even though the president carried over 60% of the primary vote, that inmate pulled 40% and it gives him a delegate. Yeah, there's the reason for the conservative bile about the Democrats being tied to the KKK. The Republicans rather see a Black man in prison, a woman vagina pumping White children, a Muslim put in a detention center and an undocumented worker sent back on "Browner Air". Some Democrats express these views. But they've forgotten there's two version of the Democratic Party. The Democrats have two factions, conservative and liberal. Those liberals are the hippies and the conservatives are the preppies. The conservative wing of the Democratic Party is constantly wooed by the Republicans to abandon ship. They follow about 60% of the Republican stance on issues. That 40% of conservative Democratic support comes out of political expediency. Republicans scoffed. They are eager to get rid of these guys and they're recruiting stronger Republican candidates to unseat them.

                                

George Zimmerman and his wife Shellie are under fire for lying to the Seminole County judge presiding over the bail hearing. In recorded conversations between Zimmerman and his wife, they were using coded language to transfer nearly $150,000 of defense funding to their private accounts. Shellie was instructed to get his secondary passport and bulletproof vests if George was to be acquitted of the murder of teenager Trayvon Martin. The prosecutors of the case are demanding that Zimmerman be held in jail until trial.


                           

A radio host in Arizona called President Barack Obama a monkey. Barbara Espinosa was on her radio show "Hair on Fire", she told a caller that instead of calling him "rabbit ears", call him the "First Monkey". It would be notable that she has to scrub her Facebook transcripts after NewsOne obtained portions of the radio show and her dialogue.
                     
Adidas is under fire for a shoe design that has Civil Rights leaders upset. A shoe that has chains attached to it caused an uproar. Chains and shackles, Right? Many are outraged at the depiction of shoes to being a stereotype to Black criminals and slavery. The shoe design was supposed released in the late summer, but the decision was canceled after a public outcry. The intent was to make a play upon people stealing customized shoes for a profit. Adidas didn't intend on making it a play upon racial insensitivity.

Not even a full week and we're already having issues across America and it's getting worse. The long hot summer, eh?

Right Wing Radio Host: Call [Obama] The First Monkey President!

Barbara Espinoza
Look a fat old white woman in a moo moo dress! Barbara Espinosa is making the rounds as the newest conservative agitator caught up in a racial insult of the president.

Ok, the gloves are coming off! Now I am getting the feeling that it's not only getting worse, but it's going to agitate Blacks into attacking White people. Conservative white males are always provoking the Black community with racial slurs, stereotypes and the blatant disrespect of President Barack Obama. It's a shame that woman would be a part of this nonsense. But this is expected from some of the people in Arizona. A state with a growing Hispanic population, and a bunch of bitter ass White people upset about it!

Barbara Espinosa, appeared on her radio program to call the president a monkey. Yeah, the old dog whistle to paint the president as inferior. White supremacists love to compare Blacks to monkeys and say our IQs are lower than those who are White. But yet these are the idiots who protest on the side of busy highway with misspelled signs and misinformation they've gotten off the internet or conservative media outlets! These are the keyboard warriors flocking to the comment sections of blogs and news agitation websites to rant off their hate of the Black community, the president and those who support them. There are some who are purely ignorant and then those who are the professional bigots. The most dangerous is the professional bigot!

It's what it is in the United States. A bunch of pessimistic conservative white people and their reactionary, condescending bigotry masquerading as patriotism. 

The issue made the rounds at Addicting Info and NewsOne, two liberal agitating websites.

According to NewsOne, Espinosa made a comment stating that Barack Obama is the nation’s “first monkey president” live on the air. NewsOne obtained portions of the controversy from FoxNews.com.
Monkey shines. White supremacists depict the president, First Lady Michelle Obama and others as monkeys.

In response to a caller named Richard who was rambling on and on about how he calls the president “Rabbit Ears,” and saying that he would like to know who actually voted for “the idiot” in the White House who is trying to destroy the country, Espinosa chimed in with: “Well, I don’t call him “rabbit ears,” I call him a monkey,” she said. “I don’t believe in calling him the first Black president, I call him the first Monkey president.”

Alright, I am going to assume that conservatives will rush to the internet saying those evil liberals called former president George W. Bush a monkey. The media laughed when an Iraqi journalist threw his shoes at him. Kanye West saying that Bush didn't care about Black people.  

Yeah, this is an ongoing issue and I am getting tired of it!

Republicans can't admit they're pandering to extremists. The Tea Party Movement is a reactionary response to the first Black president. The Republicans oppose the policies of the president. They want nothing to do with him. They want to see him defeated. They'll channel their rage online and ask supporters to make it possible to help them defeat him. They disrespect the president, First Lady Michelle Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and their allies in the name of these stupid culture wars.

I would love to see the reaction she'll get in her email box. Assured that death threats and calls for her removal off of radio are coming. And she'll even get proper booking on Sean Hannity. After all, Hannity loves to give people redemption after a scandal.
