The Hunted and the Hated: An Inside Look at the NYPD's Stop-and-Frisk Po...


A must see video.

Keep It White, Elect Romney/Ryan!


antiobama racism
Of course, it was the guy who put a bumper sticker on his t-shirt! It speaks for itself though!
Reasons to why White conservative males are by far the condescending, overreaching, reactionary, callous, homophobic, Islamophobic, sexist, and yes moronic assholes who bare the reasons for the unruly behavior in politics.

Race is a major factor to White voters. The president's most harshest critics are White voters. They are influenced by the angry rhetoric of conservative talk radio, people in the news, word of mouth and simple political views that aren't similar to the president. 

White conservative males are likely to agitate the Black community with rhetoric that paints this group as an enemy and the agitator as a patriot. White conservative males are likely to have a bigoted view of a person based on race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, political or economic standings. White conservative males flock to conservative forums and online hate websites to vent off frustration. These forums could inspire a disturbed individual to kill in the name of conservatism.

It's not the Black and Latinos acting like savage! You may want to look into the mirror and see the hate is in your eyes not mine, nor theirs!

Ex-Cash Money Rapper Freed From Prison!


The golden age of hip-hop music, Cash Money Records. Juvenile (top left), Turk (top right), The B.G. (bottom left), and Lil' Wayne (bottom right) were known as the Hot Boys. They released solo albums under the label. 
Kiss the sky, rapper Turk. You're free!

Tab Virgil, Jr. is a New Orleans based rapper who was part of the golden era of Cash Money Records. The rapper assisted Lil' Wayne, veteran rappers B.G. and Juvenile as a member of the hip-hop group The Hot Boys.

Turk (age 30) released his debut album under the Cash Money label in 2001. His album Young & Thuggin' featured rappers Bryan "Baby/Birdman" Williams, Lil' Wayne, west coast rappers Mack 10 and T.Q. and featured production from then in-house producer Mannie Fresh.

It went on to become a gold album. At the age of catchy southern beats and hip-hop wordsmiths, Turk was one of the veterans of New Orleans hip-hop.

After a fallout with Cash Money, Turk went independent.

During his streak of independence, the rapper was caught up in a federal crime. The rapper was arrest in an attempted murder charge. According to MTV News, in 2004, Hot Boys rapper Turk was charged Wednesday (January 28) with first-degree attempted murder for allegedly shooting two Memphis, Tennessee, police officers in a Monday raid.


[He was then a 22-year-old rapper] when he was arrested and being held on $1 million bail at the Shelby County, Tennessee Jail.

One of the wounded deputies, 29-year-old Chris Harris, was shot in the jaw, hip and leg and remains in critical condition at the MED medical center following extensive surgery. The other, 31-year-old Jason Pagenkopf, was shot in the neck and has since been released.

The incident began around 2 p.m. on Monday, when a dozen Shelby County narcotics and SWAT officers served a search warrant for drugs believed to be inside an apartment in the Hickory Pointe community in southeast Memphis, according to public information officer Steve Shular.
Turk spent nearly a decade in prison for a gun crime.
After no answer from knocking on the door and identifying themselves, the officers entered and began searching the apartment. Turk then allegedly shot at them with a 9 mm handgun. A small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, including spoons and syringes used to inject heroin, were found.

Two other people who were in the apartment at the time were questioned Wednesday, but they will not be charged, according to Shular, who said there is evidence the bullets came from Turk's gun.

"Until the facts come out, he is innocent until proven guilty," Turk's manager, Leroy Hollins II, said in a statement. "As his manager, I know he does not have violent tendencies to commit such an act. This is another case of a good person being in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Turk, who hails from Metairie, Louisiana, near New Orleans, has an arrest history involving narcotics, Shular said, and Monday's incident was a violation of a parole mandate on the rapper.

Lil' Wayne surpassed Elvis in mainstream hits. 
The district attorney ruled Turk a possible flight risk and will not allow him to return to Louisiana unless he posts bail. Turk's case is also being reviewed by the United States attorney's office for additional firearms charges.


Turk was in Memphis recording tracks for his upcoming album and working on remixes for his latest disc, August's Raw & Uncut, according to his manager.

After being discovered by the Cash Money Millionaires in the late '90s, Turk joined the Hot Boys, whose last album, Let 'Em Burn, was also released last year. The rapper released his first solo album in June 2001.

The rapper was sentenced to ten years on a firearm charge and violating his parole for a drug conviction.

In 2006, he entered an Alford plea in Tennessee state court to second-degree attempted murder, based on the same incident, and was sentenced to 14 years imprisonment.

The B.G. is spending 14 years in prison for a federal gun charge.
According to Wikipedia the term Alford plea is basically, "I'm guilty but I didn't do it" plea.

Now as a free rapper, many in the hip-hop community are getting first dibs on the exclusive interview with the rapper.

SOHH reports, the rapper was excited to leave prison and he was planning on returning back to the music. He also thought of writing an autobiography about his time in prison. The usual word salads of a ex-convict.

I can't say much for his former labelmate, B.G. these days! The former Cash Money star is in prison for a federal crime as well. A few years ago, B.G. was arrested in New Orleans after police pulled over his Chevrolet Tahoe for a routine traffic stop. It is rumored that he was leaving the home of his girlfriend in Uptown New Orleans when he was stopped by the police in New Orleans.

During a search of the vehicle police found three guns, two of which were reported stolen. Police also found loaded magazines and two extended clips. B.G. was booked into the Orleans Parish Prison on an illegal carrying of weapons charge. B.G. appeared in court on November 5 and his incarceration and bond information are unknown to the press at the time. On February 11, 2010, he appeared in court and entered a not guilty plea. On July 18, 2012, B.G. was sentenced to 14 years in a federal prison for gun possession and witness tampering.

Lil' Wayne served a year in prison for gun and drug possession charge.

Juvenile is awaiting trial for disorderly conduct after a fight in a nightclub in Miami. He also is a delinquent parent. He owes a lot of money for child support.
Juvenile was Cash Money's first successful artist. He help pushed the rap label into the mainstream. Juvenile has venture on as an independent artist. Lil' Wayne hopes to reunited the Hot Boys once again. 
Cash Money started as a Southern based hip-hop label with the main acts of Juvenile, The B.G., Lil' Wayne, Turk. When they collaborated together on albums, they've called themselves The Hot Boys. They also were aided by The Big Tymers. The Big Tymers were created by co-founder Bryan Williams who goes by the rap name Birdman and producer Mannie Fresh. They emerged in the late 1990s with hit singles like "I Need A Hot Girl", "Back That Azz Up", "Go DJ" and "Bling Bling".
The label has became more pop friendly by adding the late legendary singer Teena Marie, producer Jazze Pha,  Canadian rapper Drake, radio host DJ Khaled, Trinidadian/New York rapper Nicki Minaj, Los Angeles rapper Tyga, veteran rapper Busta Rhymes, rock group Limp Bizkit, newcomers Jay Sean and  Kevin Rudolf.

Other members of then and now who signed to Cash Money included west coast rapper Mack 10, Bow Wow, Mystikal, Young Buck, Omarion, 2 Pistols, Boo & Gotti, and Curren$y.

It was founded in 1991 by Ronald "Slim" Williams and Bryan "Baby/Birdman" Williams. The label is a part of Universal Republic Motown Entertainment Group.


I am guessing that the system is more harsher to Blacks and Latinos. The crime rate for men is high especially in the Black community. It's told that if you have a family member in prison, your child is likely going to be in prison for a crime as well. 

For those who aren't aware of the prison system. State charges carry automatic sentences that could be appealed. A federal sentence must be served without merit. There's no appeals to a federal crime. A violent gun crime is automatic 15 years to life. Murder carries either life or death. Homicide can carry 5 to 20 or life in prison.

Drug charges are based on potential. Marijuana, mushrooms, synthetic drugs and crack are the lowest charges. Depending on circumstances you can get six months to a year for possession. Manufacturing or selling could carry from a year to ten. Cocaine, methamphetamine, and heroin are the most serious charges for drugs. If you're in possession or charged with these type of drugs, they count as a violent offender crime and could carry from 5 years to 20 years or life.

White Rice!


Republicans are trying to marginalize the Black vote.
For every time a conservative white person says Blacks are voting only on race, I will kindly ignored them and proceed to the voting booth. I will no longer accept that excuse in any formation by any person who opposes President Barack Obama. I have no patience for that! And certainly many other Black voters are not interested in being told who to vote for!

In their latest attempt at voter suppression, the stories of the "Black Pass" gets thrown around by pundits of all spectrum. The Drudge Report puts up a story from the Associated Press and the Breitbart News and Redding News Review gets headwinds and butt plugs out on it!

It's the cause de jour of painting one group as an enemy! It's an attempt to paint Black voters as colorblind.

It's an attempt by conservatives to paint Blacks voters as dependent on keeping "our brotha, Barack Obama in the White House!"

This nonsense of being a Black voter voting for the Black president is another desperate attempt at NIGGERIZATION of President Barack Obama.

The Republican Party has depended on a low turnout of Obama's key voters: young, Hispanic/Latinos, Blacks, well educated and LGBT.

They've tried to put forth legislation that could hurt low income registered voters. They've put billboards that warn individuals about voter fraud and sent mailers to residences telling them to vote on November 7, 2012, a day after Election Day. These people went to websites that cater to negative and even condescending reactions towards the Black community and President Barack Obama in general. They've probably tossed around a few racial slurs in the comfort of their private functions, friends and family members.

The Republican Party of today comes off as extremely condescending, overreaching, bigoted and irrational in the minds of Black and Latino voters.

The NIGGERIZATION of Barack Obama by the Republican Party and its allies in the conservative movement.
The Republican Party's candidate Mitt Romney comes off as a panderer of the political winds. He'll say or do anything to win. He doesn't care about the middle class. If he did, why on earth would he try to say that 47% of the American public are dependent on the government and relish in victimization?

They've put out their best representatives of Black Republicans. Jesse Lee Peterson, Alveda King, Allen West, Condoleezza Rice, Mia Love, Herman Cain, Artur Davis and even actress Stacey Dash are front and center. They're trying to rebound the ZERO support Mitt Romney's getting from the general Black population.

What gets more frustrated with Republicans and their conservative allies! It's the blatant disrespect of me the American voter.
Cleveland, Ohio, a majority Black city has been swamped with billboards that intimidate Black voters. The billboard is an ploy to create voter suppression.  It is a crime if a person attempts to commit voter fraud. 
I know I am a Black person! I didn't waste most life trying to deny myself as a Black person!

I follow politics well enough to know who is capable of being an elected leader and those who aren't proven!

Mitt Romney isn't a proven leader. He couldn't beat Senator John McCain (R-Arizona). Why would any rational American think an inconsistent politician like him is capable of winning?

Is the so-called liberal media in the tank for Mitt Romney? Are they looking for a rat race? Who actually does these polls?

Why is it that now, that since we elected the first Black president, all this stuff about Black voters being "colorblind" front and center of these political debates?

Didn't John Kerry, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, and many other Democratic politicians get a high Black voter turnout?

Why hasn't Shirley Chisholm, Jesse Jackson, Carol Moseley Braun, and Al Sharpton never managed to win the Democratic nomination for president?

Why hasn't Alan Keyes or Herman Cain never managed to win the Republican nomination for president?

Even Republican hero Ronald Reagan won two landslide elections with at least a strong Black voter turnout!

So my question to those who pander in the mud?

What the hell are you thinking?

Mitt Romney, being a white male already has him leading in the White male vote! White male voters are the most pessimistic voters out there. They strongly disapprove of the president's handling of most issues. Of course, they look at the president as inferior. If these individuals are conservative, it's likely they're the irrational, delusional, condescending, homophobic, Islamophobic, overreaching, reactionary bigots!

In the minds of White people, if President Barack Obama loses reelection, they'll see race riots in the cities and chaos. Gun owners will grab their firearms and prepare for the upcoming race war!

These notions are thrown around by White supremacists, conservative talk radio and bitter Americans who are unease with a Black president.

Let me repeat this notion for those who think politics is Black and White!

If you're so focused on Blacks voting on Barack Obama, why are you not focused on why Whites voters supporting Mitt Romney?

And on this note of the safety net! Sometimes, I wish we lived in a society where we kill for gains!

This over-dramatization of government dependency is driving me nuts. I don't care about government free phones, food stamps, welfare, Medicare, Medicaid, Headstart, farm aid and other entitlements. Without the safety nets, these people will come into your neighborhood rob or kill you of your luxuries. Yeah, there's some who take advantage of the government! But government entitlements are a drop in the bucket. Republicans would pass intrusive laws to make it harder for the poor to receive safety nets.

For every freaking war! Every freaking natural disaster! Every government handouts to the banks or private industries! These assholes in the Republican Party and of course their allies in the conservative movement look the other way! They would rather spend their lives bullying the Black community, the Latino community, the LGBT community and the poor and needy.

So again, if you're tired of being marginalized by the likes of Matt Drudge, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck and Michael Savage, what you need to do is vote!

If you don't want a culture war president like Mitt Romney, you need to vote!

If you want to move this country forward, you need to vote!

VOTE EARLY!

VOTE NOW!

Help put Barack Obama back into the White House.

GOP Candidate's Son: Send Obama's Ass Back To Kenya!

Jason
U.S. senate candidate Tommy Thompson is doing damage control after his son invoked birtherism. 
That was unraveled by progressive groups this weekend when the son of former Wisconsin governor and 2008 presidential candidate Tommy Thompson said that offensive comment about President Barack Obama.

Perennial candidate Tommy Thompson is like Mitt Romney in a way. He's a moderate Republican. He was a one of the longest serving governors of the state. He knew how to build bridges as moderate Republican in a Democratic state. He served as Bush's secretary for the Department of Health and Human Services. And he wanted to be the President of the United States. He ran for president in 2007. He managed to get out early after polls showed him trailing badly against Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) and Mitt Romney.

He's running for an open U.S. Senate seat being vacated by longtime member Senator Herb Kohl (D-Wisconsin).

He faced a tough primary against a former congressman, a state House speaker and millionaire hedge fund owner.

The most conservative opponent Mark Neumann, the former congressman was the most suitable candidate by right wing members Senators Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina), Mike Lee (R-Utah), and Pat Toomey (R-Pennsylvania). Thompson managed to outspend him and eventually won the nomination.

Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisconsin) is his opponent. She came from behind and is leading in some polls. If elected she will be the first openly gay woman to serve as a member of the U.S. Senate.

That has the Republicans investing money in this state.

Current governor Scott Walker was an embattled Republican. After he stripped collective bargaining rights from the public sector unions, the people of Wisconsin fought back against him. They managed to help the Democrats take control of the Wisconsin state senate and recalled a few state senators and judges. They tried to recall Walker but it failed. Walker won the election and became the rally call for the Tea Party and embattled Republicans. It also gave him, Romney and his running mate Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) a boost in the state. Ryan was picked as the vice presidential nominee by Mitt Romney. It put Wisconsin in play. A state that's longtime been a Democratic stronghold is now a toss up!

President Barack Obama's job approval is the upper 40s and lower 50s as of right now! The unemployment rate has went to 7.8% this month and Republicans are in denial.

So in the past couple of weeks, Romney and Ryan have plans on taking Wisconsin away from the president.

Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisconsin) is running for retiring U.S. Senator Herb Kohl (D-Wisconsin). If elected she will be the first openly gay woman to be seated as Wisconsin's newest senator.
The state is leaning towards President Barack Obama, but slightly. Matter of fact, according to Real Clear Politics, 10 states that were easy Democratic holds are either leaning or toss up. That has Republicans with the winds in their sails.

Romney has gained a small lead in the national polls. And that has the president's campaign team on the defensive. Vice President Joe Biden stellar performance at his only debate has stopped the bleeding of the disastrous performance by the president at his first debate. The president's strategy is to win early voters and encourage younger and minority voters back to the polls. That's so far working, but not a big as his 2008 victory.

Overall, Wisconsin U.S. Senate race is toss up leaning towards Baldwin. So far Thompson's lackluster appeal to conservatives has him struggling for some much needed fundraising. Baldwin has outraised the former governor in 2:1 ratio.

This week also marks another chapter in the NIGGERIZATION of the president.

Tommy Thompson's son Jason made some offensive comments at a Republican fundraiser that Mitt Romney can send President Barack Obama back to Chicago or rather Kenya Africa!

"We have the opportunity to send President Obama back to Chicago - or Kenya," said  Jason Thompson, a private attorney and son of U.S. senate candidate Tommy Thompson.

This was in the presence of the Republican national chairman, fellow Wisconsin native Reince Priebus.

Jason Thompson's comment about Obama prompted laughs from the crowd, with one woman jokingly adding, "We are taking donations for that Kenya trip."

The Milwaukee Sentinel-Journal reports that For years, a fringe group of Obama critics has promoted the discredited "birther" argument that the first-term Democratic president was not born in the U.S. Though Obama's father was Kenyan, the White House released Obama's birth certificate last year showing he was born in a Hawaii hospital on Aug. 4, 1961.

Also speaking at the Kenosha event were Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus and Wisconsin Republican Party Chairman Brad Courtney. The video was taken by Democratic Party operative and posted at BuzzFeed Politics early Sunday evening.

Jason Thompson, 38, has been actively involved in his father's bid for an open U.S. Senate seat, representing the campaign at some events. Running against Thompson is Democratic congresswoman Tammy Baldwin of Madison.

A Baldwin spokesman declined to comment on the video.

At an evening news conference in Wauwatosa, the former four-term governor - known for committing his share of verbal gaffes over the years - initially deflected a question from No Quarter about the video.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Thompson said.

About an hour later, however, Thompson's staff sent an email addressing the controversy.

"The Governor has addressed this with his son, just like any father would do," said the campaign statement. "Jason Thompson said something he should not have, and he apologizes."

Priebus and Courtney did not return calls.

During the same Sunday news conference, Thompson had his own slip of the tongue when talking about his Democratic opponent.

A reporter asked Thompson about Baldwin's statements Sunday at the Jewish Community Center in Milwaukee, responding to allegations that she has flip-flopped on imposing sanctions on Iran.

Thompson called Baldwin's explanation "the lamest excuse I've ever heard." He then went on to call her "anti-Jewish."

Only later did he backtrack when the same reporter asked him if he meant what he said.

"She's anti-Israel," he clarified.

Back in 2007, Thompson had to apologize for telling a Jewish group that earning money was "part of the Jewish tradition." He made the remark to the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism while running unsuccessfully for president.

It Gets Worse: Obama Campaign Office Shot At!

It's getting worse! Mitt Romney doesn't disavow this behavior! Des Moines Obama campaign office tagged with  "Muslim Lier". Apparently the person can't spell "liar" right!
The Denver Post reports that gunfire at the Obama Denver Headquarters and it's becoming a disturbing pattern of hostile behavior towards the first Black president by individuals who have too much passion in politics. It's getting dangerous out there!

Mediaite also covered other incidents in which a Obama campaign office in Des Moines, Iowa had “Muslim Lier (sic)” tagged on the side of the building. And in Ohio, a Democratic office in Warren County was vandalized by horse manure. Also a Texas woman had racial slurs spread on her campaign signs.

It's getting worse.

Right wing extremism is a growing epidemic on the notion that President Barack Obama is likely going to win reelection.

Police say someone fired a shot at an Obama campaign field office in Denver on Friday afternoon.

No one was injured, though people were inside the office when the incident occurred, said Denver police spokeswoman Raquel Lopez.

"It looks like it was one shot that was fired into the structure," she said.

The incident happened about 3 p.m. at the campaign's office on West Ninth Avenue near Acoma Street, Lopez said.
Shooting at Denver Obama campaign office.
Sam Levin, a reporter for the alternative newspaper Westword, later posted a photo on Twitter showing one of the office's large front windows broken out. By early evening, the window shards had been removed and a glass company was putting up plywood.

Lopez said police have a description of a "possible vehicle of interest." She said she could not release that information while detectives are reviewing any available video footage of the incident and pursuing leads.

An Obama campaign spokeswoman declined to comment on the incident, instead referring a question to the police.

Joe Biden: You're Spinning Mr. Ryan!

Martha Raddatz moderates the vice presidential debate with Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) and Vice President Joe Biden. They take on issues such as the economy, foreign policy, the war in Afghanistan, the culture war and their running mates. 
The Vice Presidential Debate in Danville, Kentucky goes to Team Obama. Vice President Joe Biden, in my opinion gaffed and scrambled over the points, but still delivered the hits to Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin).

After a week of discouragement, out of the blue comes President Barack Obama's right hand man to clean up the mess. The vice presidential debate was spectacular. Congressman Ryan did really well. I was amazed that Ryan kept up his Fox News/Drudge/WorldNetDaily talking points without batting an eyelash. Of course, he defended his own budget plan! Of course, the one Romney refuses to endorse himself.

I thought the congressman would clobber Vice President Biden after much of the scrutiny was handed down on the president for his lackluster performance. That lackluster performance gave Republican nominee, the perennial candidate Mitt Romney as boost and he's either tied or leading in some of the polls. The president's failure has eroded his electoral college lead. It landed a handful of easily blue states into toss up! The president has 257 to Mitt Romney 206. The states are so close and Mitt Romney has slight lead in likely voters against President Obama's lead in registered voters. Early voting is hurting Romney. But when the returns come forth, we'll see how it goes!

Things missed in this debate:

Infrastructure
Education
Environment/Global Warming
Voting ID Laws

But the debate host Martha Raddatz was criticized by the conservative serial agitators such as The Drudge Report, The Daily Caller and Breitbart News. The conservatives were frustrated over a report that the president attended Raddatz's first wedding when he was then president of the Harvard Review.

Jim Lehrer was criticized by the liberal serial agitators such as The Huffington Post and Talking Point Memo because he allowed Romney to interrupt the president and Lehrer constantly.

Now it's Fox News and conservatives complaining about the vice president interrupting Congressman Ryan during the debate.

Vice President Biden nailed the congressman on Romney's 47% comments and licking their chops over the Benghazi tragedy. The vice president also nailed the congressman on his participation in legislation that allocated the job approval of Congress at historical lows.

We're not even done with this. Conservatives are screaming that the debate went to the congressman and the  vice president was arrogant.

But who cares what they say. Here's one thing that shut them up!

EARLY VOTING

If you vote early, you hurt Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney can't get the motivation of early voters. That's probably why the president leads in registered voters. If Romney fails at carrying Ohio or Florida, he loses.

Republican governors John Kasich of Ohio and Rick Scott of Florida are determined to eliminate early voting. They know that this is an advantage to the president.

So do something about this!

VOTE.

Help elect Barack Obama as the President Of the United States.

Blame Game: Libyan Embassy Killings!



Okay, we're in the last quarter of the most hostile political election in history. Republican nominee, perennial candidate for president Mitt Romney has pulled slightly ahead in the polls (with likely voters) and President Barack Obama still has the electoral college lead but it's declining.

Tonight, Vice President Joe Biden will debate Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) at their vice presidential debate tonight in Danville, Kentucky. The president needs a bounce back in the polls after two weeks of criticism from the media over his lackluster performance at the first presidential debate.

The Republicans are smelling blood in the water, yet again! They're going to play politics once again over the tragedy in Benghazi, Libya. The U.S. Consulate Embassy was attacked by militants affiliated with the two main factions of al-Qaeda of North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Libyan officials and the FBI are investigating how this happened. Many opportunities for an attack came forth when a filmmaker put on the internet a controversial YouTube video mocking the Prophet Mohammad. The Egyptian press got a hold of the video and it launched it into massive protests across the Middle East and the Muslim world.

September 11, 2012, the U.S. diplomatic mission in Cairo, Egypt was mobbed by protesters  apparently in response to an anti-Islamic online video known as Innocence of Muslims. A group scaled the embassy wall and tore down the American flag to replace it with a black Islamic flag. This incident (and the coinciding armed attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya that was widely misreported as a reaction to the film) launched a series of worldwide demonstrations against the film outside diplomatic facilities of the United States and other Western countries. However, other underlying issues of discontent have fueled the protests in some countries. The protests that continued in the ensuing weeks also expanded to other Western-related locations, some of which turned violent, resulting in dozens of deaths and hundreds of injuries.

The protest lays down in the groundwork for a sneak attack to infiltrate the U.S. Embassy compound in Libyan by militants. They ended up killing four Americans which included J. Christopher Stevens, a longtime ally to the president.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.N. Secretary Susan Rice have condemned the attacks and claimed that the American who made that video created a diplomatic mess. President Barack Obama demanded those who committed this act were to be sought and brought to justice.

Caught up in the mixture is the politics of it, did the president mention terrorism or said movie?

At first, many were claiming that Mitt Romney was looking for political gamesmanship when he told the press that he felt that Egyptian embassy and President Barack Obama were apologizing for the uprising over the movie. He was roundly criticized for jumping the gun over the issue. The American press was waiting until the facts were determined. National security advisers and the U.S. Justice Department have determined that it was an act of terrorism.

The Libyan attack happened when protesters were storming the embassy walls. Some members of a local militant group were armed with rocket launchers and they proceeded to the compound. At first, the Ambassador Christopher Stevens and his team were caught by surprised by this. So they escaped. It's was an inside job by some of the members of the Libyan security team.


Republican Party members took issue with the Democratic Party controlled administration, accusing the White House and State Department of overplaying the role of the protests against a trailer for a controversial anti-Islamic movie in the case of Libya and the government's alleged reluctance to label the attack as "terrorist".

Representative Mike Rogers (R-MI), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, has questioned whether there were any protests at all in Benghazi, saying: "I have seen no information that shows that there was a protest going on as you have seen around any other embassy at the time. It was clearly designed to be an attack." According to critics, the consulate site should have been secured better both before and after the attack.
Romney and Ryan trying to hang issue around Obama's neck!

On the 20th, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave a classified briefing to U.S. Senators, which several Republican attendees criticized as uninformative.

GOP legislators also took issue with delays in the investigation, which CNN attributed to "bureaucratic infighting" between the FBI, Justice, and State. On the 26th, Senator Johnny Isakson (R-Georgia) said he "cannot believe that the FBI is not on the ground yet."

The Washington Post Fact Checker blog reported on September 27 that the Obama administration's response was a "case study of how an administration can carefully keep the focus as long as possible on one storyline [the video] — and then turn on a dime when it is no longer tenable."

During an October 3, 2012 guest appearance on a Fox News national security program hosted by former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs K.T. McFarland, DEFCON3, Congressional counter-terrorism adviser Michael S. Smith II asserted that one area of criticism the Obama administration should prepare to address in the wake of the September 11, 2012 attacks in Libya pertains to its policy of “inaction” when opportunities arose “to go in, especially into Libya during the Arab Spring, and begin to capture, recapture, or kill a lot of jihads like the individual who’s believed to have led the assault on the US consulate in Benghazi.

The policy, however, was one of inaction.” Asked by McFarland if he thought events in Libya like the September 11, 2012 attacks reflect an example of success with al Qaeda’s possible efforts to “hijack” Arab Spring revolutions, Smith stated: “I’m not absolutely certain about that. I think what we see in the post-Arab Spring era is much stronger influence being asserted by the Muslim Brotherhood.

Meanwhile, I think we might want to look upon the September 11, 2012 attacks and similar events in this light: Al Qaeda … has had a much easier time exploiting policy vacuums in Washington than leadership vacuums in the Arab Spring.”


Now here's the kicker, Republicans admit to cutting the security forces for their stupid obsession with trying to stop massive spending. These guys are fucking ridiculous!


Congressman Jason Chaffetz, a Utah Republican, said Wednesday he "absolutely" voted for cutting funding for embassy security.
Pressure's on the president to answer Libyan attack!

Chaffetz, the chairman of the House Oversight subcommittee on National Security, Homeland Defense and Foreign Operations, accused the White House of lying about details of the Sept. 11 attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, according to The Hill blog.

Chaffetz is leading an investigation into the Libya attack and security preparedness along with fellow Republican, Congressman Darrell Issa of California.

While speaking to CNN, Chaffetz was asked if he had "voted to cut the funding for embassy security."

"Absolutely," he replied. "Look we have to make priorities and choices in this country. We have…15,000 contractors in Iraq. We have more than 6,000 contractors, a private army there, for President Obama, in Baghdad. And we’re talking about can we get two dozen or so people into Libya to help protect our forces. When you’re in tough economic times, you have to make difficult choices. You have to prioritize things."


The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has been holding hearings over the attack in Libya, with security officials testifying about the preparedness of the security teams.

The Daily Beast noted that a memo prepared for House Democrats by the committee did not dispute the claims of a fragile security situation, but also pointed out the funding cuts for diplomatic security and embassy construction.

"Since gaining the majority in 2011, House Republicans have voted to reduce embassy security funding by approximately half a billion dollars below the amounts requested by the Obama administration," read the memo.

Chaffetz was the only House member to go on a fact-finding mission to Libya, said the Daily Beast.

Democrats said they were not given enough advance warning about the trip, and as a result no Democratic House members were able to go with Chaffetz.

I've Never Seen Barack Obama Eat Watermelon!



But these bastards are attempting a NIGGERIZATION of President Barack Obama. And to make matters worse, Mitt Romney is openly embracing these racist ass folks for political gamesmanship.

You wonder why Republicans have trouble courting Blacks and Hispanics?

Here's the rundown of the situation. A California woman seen an offensive anti-Obama display in which the owner of the house put forth an empty chair, a yellow rope (noose), a couple of watermelons and the GO BACK TO KENYA (AFRICA) rhetoric alongside his Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan political signs.

You would think these people would use their freedom of speech at the ballot box! But alas, these fools would rather boggle us down with this hateful rhetoric under the blessings of the American flag!

The Huffington Post report that a spate of symbolic protests against President Barack Obama that have featured empty chairs and racist imagery continued this week in California, with an arrangement featuring a noose, watermelons and a birther sign.

"Go back to Kenya you idiot," reads the message, set up to resemble a teleprompter along a remote road in Santa Clara, Calif. A short distance away sits a wooden chair, presumably a reference to actor Clint Eastwood's now-famous takedown of Obama at the Republican National Convention. Two watermelons have been placed on the seat of the chair, and a noose has been slung around its frame. A sign supporting GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney has been erected on the fence behind it.

California's KTVU reports that the display was first brought to their attention by a community resident who posted an image of the arrangement to Facebook. The station has since interviewed property owner Blake la Beck, who declined to comment, but claimed the display speaks for itself.

Racist rhetoric has also emerged this election season in more direct attacks on the Obama campaign. Last week, a vandal spray-painted the words "Muslim Lier (sic)" (intended to be "Liar") on a large banner outside a campaign office in Des Moines, Iowa.

Get ready for some of the most hateful rhetoric to come forth. These images are NSFW (Not Safe For Work). Please use discretion when you're looking at these.










New Aaliyah Album Causing Rift!

Timbaland and Missy Elliott with Aaliyah. The rappers reflect on the tragedy that killed the singer.
Timbaland and Missy Elliott, were the longtime producers and friends of the late entertainer Aaliyah. I wrote earlier this year that there's unreleased songs getting a revamp from Canadian rapper/actor Drake and his producer Noah "40" Shebib.

It looks like I was wrong on the issue. Missy Elliott and Timbaland are not going to be featured on this new album set for release in late 2012. That has been the talk of the hip-hop community.

Missy Elliott appears under Atlantic Records.
Timbaland appears under Blackground Records/Interscope Records.
Drake appears under Cash Money Records.
Lil' Wayne appears under Cash Money Records.
Aaliayh appears under Blackground Records.

Aaliyah died over 10 years ago in a fiery plane crash in The Bahamas and it left a big hole in the lives of many. Damon Dash, the former president of Roc-A-Fella Records was devastated by her death. He was planning on marrying her in the coming year. Timbaland threaten to retire from the music industry after hearing the news. Missy Elliott was distraught about the loss of one of her best friends and collaborator.

They're rebounding though. After a seven year hiatus, Missy Elliott released a single with her longtime friend and it's getting buzz. "9th Inning" and "Triple Threat", were produced by Timbaland and its signaled that the rapper is making her comeback.

But there's a rift between Aubrey "Drake" Graham and the two.

I got this!
A few weeks ago, they went on to Hot 97 to talk with Angie Martinez to promote the new singles. When asked by Martinez about the upcoming album, they've shunned the notion and stated it was a personal matter.

Timbaland stated: "I don’t even know if it’s an album, I don’t think that’s in the works. I don’t know, I think it’s blown out of proportion. I haven’t spoken to Drake yet. I have a hard time just hearing her music."

Missy Elliott stated: "No call has been made to me. I have to respect her family, and until they come and say they’re ready to do an Aaliyah album then I don’t really want to get into that because it’s very sensitive. It’s not records that already done came out, we’re talking about unfinished music. And we don’t know what her reasoning for not putting those records out. Maybe she didn't feel like they were her best work. We just don’t want to tap into that, just spiritually something else you know ... very very touchy. Unless her parents came in and conducted that."

Drake has appeared on the Aaliyah's single "Enough Said" which is getting buzz on the radio.

Drake is a member of Cash Money Records and is a member of Lil' Wayne's hip-hop collective Young Money with Nicki Minaj and Tyga.

The rapper has started first as an actor on the teen drama Degrassi: The Next Generation and then went forth to rapping and singing. The rapper released mixtapes before signed to Cash Money to release his debut album. The first album Thank Me Later was critically acclaimed and earned him Grammy nominations.

The album went on to sell nearly 2 million copies giving it platinum status. The second album Take Care was release late last year and went on to produce a few massive hits. It also earned him another shot at grabbing a Grammy Award.

The rapper has a strong obsession with Aaliyah. Drake tattooed the singer on his back and arm.

The release of her album will mark 11 years since her third release a self-titled album in which it produced the hit single "Rock The Boat".

No Longer Leading From Behind!


The media is looking forward for this rat race to last  for the last four weeks. Now Republicans and their conservative allies are saying the media is shunning President Barack Obama.  They think that the president's campaign to mock Mitt Romney on his gaffe about Sesame Street will backfire. Many Republicans are feeling their nominee is going to be stronger during this last weeks before this election.

In Virginia, Mitt Romney went to the Military Academy to give his foreign policy speech about the president's careful strategy of "leading from behind". The Republican gave his details to how to handle the international affairs at best. He complains about the president's cold relations with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He agrees with the president's draw down strategy in Afghanistan. He complains about the president's response to the Egyptian and Libyan anti-Islamic movie outbursts in which al-Qaeda took advantage of the Libyan embassy. He also tweaked the thoughts of war against Syria and Iran.

His policy speech is preparing him for the second debate. He's feeling the strength of the polls in his favor.

Alas, he's not that strong and he's been more weaker. The Republican nominee has switched from his populist rhetoric to now softening his image. After the disastrous month of gaffes and heartless rhetoric, Mitt Romney has now talked personal stories to give people the implication that he's a caring individual.

Last ditch effort to win the narratives. Could it be too late?

The president and his Democratic allies are encouraging early voting to weaken Mitt Romney in the all important state of Ohio. The national polls shows that Mitt Romney leads among likely voters and the president leads among registered voters. So in other words, Romney has to have a strong turnout of first time voters who registered.

There's hundreds of critics of President Barack Obama in the state of Ohio. But do they that their criticisms will actually turn to votes for the Republican nominee Mitt Romney?

October 9, 2010 was the last day for Ohio residents to register to vote.

The federal courts dismissed a state law that Republicans passed last year. The federal courts called the canceling of three days before an election law unconstitutional because it discriminates against the residents of Ohio who want to avoid the possible long lines on Election Day. The Republicans claim that this law would have prevented voter fraud and save money! The Democrats and President Barack Obama argue that Republicans were trying to push forth laws based on their pathetic culture wars.

Again, Republicans have no doubt that the president is likely to win. They hope that they can create enough controversy for the president to weaken him before the election.

In order to become the President Of The United States, you have to have 270 electoral votes! If Mitt Romney manages to secure Ohio and Florida he can win! Although Romney has no other paths to victory, the president is going to try his hardest to recapture states he's struggling to win.

Unemployment in the state of Ohio is way below the national average. Controversial governor John Kasich is bragging about his state bring back jobs. That's something that Mitt Romney wants him not to talk about!

Ohio went to the president then when he was a candidate running for president in 2008. Now that he's going to campaign harder in this state to win back the narrative that things are improving.

I've written earlier that many people are leaving Ohio for other states. But those who are leaving the state are finding it harder to find work in states they've felt were an escape. Those unfilled positions in Ohio are going to those who lost their jobs in the state. So it's balancing itself. Ohio has also lost two districts. Congressman Steve Austria (R-Ohio) and Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) were shuffled out. That means Ohio has only 18 electoral votes and the swing is there.

Ohio maintains one of the lowest job averages post Recession with Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota leading the way in lowest unemployment.

Mitt Romney is catching up to the president in this state. It's actually a tie between them. Now once again, the media is still hammering President Barack Obama over his horrible performance during their first debate.

The president and his allies are trying to regroup for the final two. They are hoping that Vice President Joe Biden will have a better night against Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) for their debate.

Dirty Politics Stink!

A Local 12 viewer took this photo of a pile of horse manure dumped at the Warren County Democratic Headquarters on October 9, 2012. (Sent by Local12.com viewer, WKRC-TV)Vandals spread manure over an Obama Headquarters in Ohio!

Boy, I'll tell you what! I'll forever etch in stone my disgust towards the Republican Party and its allies in the conservative movement.  They're playing dirty and I really mean dirty politics!

I'll respect Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan if they win this election and become the leaders of the United States. I will not say words that instigate division such as "I hope he fails"! The same comments made by one Rush Limbaugh!

I will say that race is always been a factor!

From Matt Drudge to Sean Hannity, with Andrew Breitbart and Sarah Palin added, I'll say the race-baiting was the factor to Mitt Romney winning this election.

I can assure you that the liberal agitators will seek revenge against the Republicans and become even worse than Rush Limbaugh and his fellow conservative agitators if President Barack Obama should lose!

I'll conclude that White men are intimidated by the rising demographics of women, people of color, those who are gay and those who practice in Islam.

Nonetheless, we're in the phase of political haywire. In the all important swing state of Ohio a bunch of jackasses spread horse manure around the Warren County, Ohio Obama for America/Democratic Headquarters.


Volunteers at the Warren County Democratic headquarters say they are shocked and disappointed by a political prank played on them early Tuesday morning.

Someone dumped a pile of horse manure in the parking lot of the headquarters building on U.S. 42, just north of Lebanon.

Warren County Democratic chair Beth Goldenfield tells Local 12 that the pile was dumped in the parking lot, blocking the entrance to the building, sometime between 10 p.m. Monday and 9 a.m. Tuesday. A report was filed by the party with the Warren County sheriff's department.

Goldenfield says no one has claimed responsibility for the prank.  She says this election cycle has been "very contentious", and says an unprecedented number of party signs have been stolen leading up to today's incident.  Goldenfield goes on to say, "It's really unfortunate that people can't have respectful disagreements... We're not going to be discouraged by it. It's just very disappointing. It will probably motivate our people even more but it's also a very disrespectful thing to do."

The building does have security cameras. Goldenfield says the building landlord cleaned up the mess, and the party will not have to pay for the cleanup.
