BREAKING: Margaret Thatcher Passes Away!

Great Britain and the United States mourn the lost of Margaret Thatcher.

The former prime minister of the United Kingdom had passed away at age 87. As with Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher was the icon of modern conservatism.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to Margaret Thatcher's family.

A lot of people agreed that the world needed an "Iron Lady".

She was the longest-serving (1979–1990) Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of the 20th century, and the only woman ever to have held the post. A Soviet journalist called her the "Iron Lady", a nickname which became associated with her uncompromising politics and leadership style. As Prime Minister, she implemented Conservative policies that have come to be known as Thatcherism.

After entering 10 Downing Street, Thatcher introduced a series of political and economic initiatives to reverse what she perceived to be Britain's precipitous national decline.

Her political philosophy and economic policies emphasised deregulation (particularly of the financial sector), flexible labour markets, the privatisation of state-owned companies, and reducing the power and influence of trade unions. Thatcher's popularity during her first years in office waned amid recession and high unemployment, until economic recovery and the 1982 Falklands War brought a resurgence of support, resulting in her re-election in 1983.

President Barack Obama, Prime Minister David Cameron, Queen Elizabeth II and the United States Congress share their condolences. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard were informed of the passing.

Thatcher is popular among the conservative faithful here in the United States. The conservative media worships the legacies of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher.
A leader during the war of the Falkland Islands and the Soviet Union.
Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Matt Drudge, Michelle Malkin and numerous conservative agitators will talk about the death.

Margaret Thatcher was born Margaret Roberts in Grantham, Lincolnshire, on 13 October 1925. Her father was Alfred Roberts, originally from Northamptonshire, and her mother was Beatrice Ethel (née Stephenson) from Lincolnshire.

It was confirmed by the Associated Press that she died of a stroke.

Actress Meryl Streep recently portrayed the former prime minister in the 2011 movie The Iron Lady.

Teen Carjacking Victim Stuffed In The Trunk!

Margaret E. Smith, 89, was allegedly tossed around in the trunk as the teens drove like a "roller coaster ride."
You do the right thing for others and yet they still take advantage of your goodwill!

An 89-year old Delaware woman is counting her blessings that she survived a horrible ordeal. She was giving two young teenage girls a ride to town. Didn't expect her kindness would end up nearly killing her.

In the junk food media, conservative agitators and the White supremacists are looking at any teenager of color being "natural born criminals" and "thugs by birth". They never expect it to happen to their kind!

Well you'll wait for a moment and then you hear about the next mass shooting in a suburban town.

The teenagers photos are released to the public. They're being charged as adults. These two young girls and their passengers, two 17-year old boys are going to be spending time in the "juvie school" before a trip to the "iron college".

Junia McDonald, 14 and Jackeline H. Perez, 15 asked the woman, now identified as 89-year old Margaret E. Smith for a ride down the road.

Ms. Smith was at a local restaurant and had thought that these young girls look needy.

She gave them a ride. Soon the ride turned into a carjacking. The girls grabbed the keys and wrestled Ms. Smith into the back of her trunk. For nearly two days, the young girls were riding around town with their new whip and the elderly woman in the trunk.
Two teen girls from Delaware carjacked an elderly lady and drove around for more than 24 hours with her locked in the trunk, police have said. Pictured here are 14-year-old girl as Junia McDonald and the 15-year-old girl as Jackeline H. Perez.
Junia McDonald and Jackeline H. Perez at age 14 and 15 will be likely seeing the iron bars instead of high school proms.
The New York Daily News reports that a lift from a Milford Chicken Man store to a home in Lincoln some four miles away on Tuesday morning.

But when they arrived at their destination, they are accused of forcing her to hand over the keys to her Buick, stealing $500 from her coat pocket and bundling her into the car’s trunk.

Driving off, they are said to have kept her locked in the confined space as they cruised around town — even picking up two 17-year-old boys along the way.

Ignoring her screams for help, Smith's frail body was thrown around in the trunk — as the teens drove like a "roller coaster ride."

They eventually dumped her at a cemetery close to Seaford, more than 20 miles from where she had picked them up, late on Wednesday afternoon.
The two 17-year-old boys picked up along the way were identified as Phillip L. Brewer and Rondaiges A. Harper.
Phillip L. Brewer and Rondaiges A. Harper are both 17 year old. They were accomplices to two young girls carjacking an elderly woman.
Smith, whose family had reported her missing at 11 p.m. on Tuesday, was taken to Nanticoke Memorial Hospital for treatment.

She had since been released.

The two girls were charged with robbery, carjacking, kidnapping and conspiracy and were detained on $122,000 cash bonds.

The two boys were charged with kidnapping, conspiracy and receiving stolen property and are being held on $27,000 secured bonds.

Another teen, who is still a juvenile and cannot be named, was charged with receiving stolen property and is on a $2,000 secured bond.

Ohio Man Killed In Federal Raid Stirs Accusations!

1 dead, 2 charged in FBI incident at drive-thru photo
Jermaine Coleman, Jr. was killed by federal authorities. The family of the deceased demand the U.S. Justice Department investigate the conduct of the FBI and Montgomery County, Ohio sheriff.

In Dayton, Ohio, a young father died in a hail of gunfire. You may ask what type of gunfire did this young man die by?

Of course, some in the conservative/White supremacist bubble think it's a Black-on-Black crime.

No bigots, the death of this young man wasn't caused by a criminal.

It was by those in the law enforcement. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is doing an internal investigation into a shooting that lead to the death of one of the individuals shot in a federal raid at a drive-through in Dayton.

Did the young man shoot at the federal authorities?

What transpired for the FBI agents to react with their firearms?

The FBI had undercover agents and this investigation is classified. But two other individuals are being charged in federal court on charges of trafficking heroin.

Again, since trafficking heroin is classified as a violent crime, the other individual who survived his wounds and the one who wasn't shot are going to be charged with a federal crime. They could go to the federal pen. The iron college doesn't spare these individuals. They will be forced to serve the sentence regardless of the charge.

Once the FBI is cleared of wrongdoing, the two may be charged with involuntary manslaughter. Even though they didn't shoot at a federal agent, they're actions triggered gunfire.

The Dayton Daily News reports the 20-year-old Dayton man, the father of a 3-year-old girl, died Thursday after a shooting involving FBI agents conducting a drug investigation at a beverage store near the Dayton Mall.

Jermaine C. Coleman Jr., 20, of Dayton died at Kettering Medical Center at 3:30 p.m., according to the Montgomery Warren County Coroner’s Office.

Coleman was fatally shot and two other Dayton men, Tyler Christian, 26, and Tobe McLarty, 26, were taken into custody following a shootout reported at 3:09 p.m. Thursday at Beverage Palace, 8980 Kingsride Dr., according to a Miami Twp. police report.

The incident comes on the heels of recent arrests as part of a heroin trafficking investigation in the Dayton Mall area.

On Friday, Christian and McLarty, who was wounded in the incident, appeared before U.S. Magistrate Sharon Ovington in federal court in Dayton on charges of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute heroin and assault on a federal officer.

Christian also is charged with one count of making a false statement to a law enforcement officer. Ovington ordered each man held without bond until a detention hearing on April 10.

A group of FBI agents gathered about 10:30 a.m. Friday outside the store at 8980 Kingsridge. They appeared to be gathering evidence and taking measurements using laser equipment. They declined to comment.

Witnesses on Thursday said they saw about 10 police vehicles heading toward the store shortly before the shooting.

“The next thing you heard was, ‘FBI get down!’ Then I heard four shots. Boom boom boom boom! And that was it,” Rachel Sorise said.

Family members said Coleman is survived by a daughter, Zyonn Coleman, 3, of Dayton. He was described as a graduate of the Arise Academy who played football at Northridge High School and worked in lawn care.

Pinson said Coleman and his daughter lived with her on Iriquois Avenue in Dayton.

“He was a magnificent child,” Pinson said, as family and friends gathered at the home of Coleman’s grandmother’s home on Burleigh Avenue in West Dayton.

Coleman’s family and friends complained about learning Friday of his death.

“Something is not right with this,” Coleman’s mother, Demecca Pinson said.

Pinson said she didn’t learn of her son’s death until he called the coroner’s office Friday. There was no mention of a fatal shooting in the FBI statement or police report.

“Three subjects were taken into custody. Two of these subjects were transported by medics and fire personnel to a nearby medical facility after sustaining gunshot wounds,” according to the FBI statement issued at 6 p.m. Thursday.

Coleman was serving probation ordered in 2010 in two cases in Montgomery County for carrying a concealed weapon, assault and aggravated menacing, according to court records.

On Friday, an FBI spokesman referred questions to the local police department, Montgomery Sheriff’s Office and county coroner. Miami Twp. police was referring questions back to the federal agency.

A coroner’s office spokesman declined to comment on Coleman’s cause of death, pending an autopsy.

“By protocol, an independent review team from FBI Headquarters will conduct an investigation. Miami Township Police and the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office will also be investigating this incident which occurred in their jurisdictions,” according to Thursday’s statement.’

Montgomery Sheriff’s Office officials said they were not investigating the incident.

Rick Ross Raping The Microphone! [NSFW]

Rick Ross is once again creating another controversy. The rapper's verse was controversial. He claimed he's date raped a woman. Atlanta based rappers Future and Rocko were featured on the single where he made an inflammatory verse.

To all reading: Understand that rape is rape! There's nothing funny or creative about it!

Again, Atlanta-based rapper Future came to the hip-hop scene as the guy that done the auto-tune hooks on some of the most popular rapper's songs. He broke on the scene with his various mixtapes and features with big name rappers. His biggest break came through his collaboration with pop singer Rihanna.

After releasing Pluto last year, the rapper is becoming a mainstream act. He and his crew the Freebandz Gang are attracting the Stans. The rapper is working on his sophomore album, The Future Hendrix which its lead single is Karate Chop which features Casino and the remix with Lil' Wayne. The album is slated for summer release.

But every time Future comes out with a new song, the featured guest causes controversy for him. Last month, Lil' Wayne attracted a bit of controversy by saying on the Karate Chop Remix that he'll "beat that p***y up like Emmett Till". Civil Rights groups demanded that Epic Records pull the verse off the radio.

They've succeeding in getting the verse off the song. Lil' Wayne's representatives had no comment about the issue.

Nowadays, you're hearing Future, Lil' Wayne, Drake, Nicki Minaj, 2 Chainz, and Rick Ross, get frequent radio spins on the hip-hop stations. Most pop stations are saturated with their songs and features.
Rapper Rocko with veteran R&B singer Monica. The two have children together .
It's a part of the business cycle in hip-hop: If you're hot, you're hot!

The new song U.O.E.N.O. is another banger. The single features Future, Rick Ross and Rocko.

It appears on Rocko's newest mixtape and it's available for download on DatPiff.com (Rocko: Gift Or Gab 2 Mixtape).

Rozay once again puts his mouth in the wrong place! The Maybach Music Mafia boss runs his lyrics similar to Lil' Wayne.

In a way, Rozay's lyrics come off like he had drugged a woman and took her to his home (to rape her).

That nigga sold you that re-rock, you ain't even know it
I die over these Reeboks, you ain't even know it
Put Molly all in her champagne, she ain’t even know it
I took her home and I enjoyed that, she ain't even know it
Got a hundred acres I live on, you ain't even know it
Got a hundred rounds in this AR, you ain't even know it
Got a bag of bitches I play with, on cloud 9 in my spaceship
Zoned out but he stay fresh from Zone 1 through Zone 6
Bricks all in my blood, birds all in my dreams
Boats all in my yard, lemon pepper my wings
I’m bout to get you fuck niggas wacked, you ain't even know it
Your main nigga bout to turn his back, you ain't even know it

Well some women's groups and the conservative/White supremacist bubble are disturbed by this lyric. Some are demanding that Reebok drop the rapper from the sponsorship.

Doing some serious damage control, the rapper does even more stupid shit.

He goes to the social networks to apologize for his lyrics.

Rick Ross had went to Twitter tweeting, "I dont condone rape. Apologies for the lyric interpreted as rape."

The apology wasn't heartfelt and it begging itself for even more agitating from the junk food media.

Even veteran rappers said on print that Rick Ross and Lil' Wayne have taken their verses a little too far.

Still, the criticism of Ross has continued to mount, with many underwhelmed by his apology. Rapper Talib Kweli called Ross "a misguided 40-year person" during a segment on HuffPo Live, adding: "Rick Ross condoned rape in that song and he shouldn't, and he should apologize, and the apology that he offered was unacceptable."

Kweli also took Ross to task on Twitter, writing: "Its clear from Ross apology that he doesn't understand u don't need to say 'rape' to condone rape . . . Ross needs love and education on this issue. He has a platform that can be used for good, especially if he takes responsibility here."

The controversy has also begun to affect Ross' endorsement deals. Reuters reports that the women's rights group UltraViolet planned to protest outside a Reebok store in Manhattan today, bringing petitions with more than 71,000 signatures demanding the company cut their ties with the rapper. The group's co-founder Nita Chaudhary said Ross "is pushing the idea that if you don't use the word 'rape' it doesn't count. We are fed up and disgusted with Reebok."

Rappers who continue to hold on this mentality of sexism, commercialism, homophobia, and embracing crime and the gun culture are getting hurt in their record sales. The Game learned that lesson after picking a fight with 50 Cent and the conservative turd flipper.

The criticism mounts Rick Ross and it's likely going to take a hit on his "street cred".

Since the Rush Limbaugh/Sandra Fluke incident to the Steubenville rape trial, many women are calling out the sexism. Even President Barack Obama wasn't immune from criticism.

Rape is a type of sexual assault usually involving sexual intercourse, which is initiated by one or more persons against another person without that person's consent. The act may be carried out by physical force, coercion, abuse of authority or with a person who is incapable of valid consent, such as one who is unconscious, incapacitated, or below the legal age of consent.

Victims of rape can be severely traumatized; in addition to psychological harm resulting from the act, rape may cause physical injury, or have additional effects on the victim, such as acquiring of a sexually transmitted infection or becoming pregnant. Furthermore, following a rape, a victim may face violence or threats of thereof from the rapist, and, in some cultures, from the victim's own family and relatives.

There are several types of rape, generally categorized by reference to the situation in which it occurs, the sex or characteristics of the victim, and/or the sex or characteristics of the perpetrator. Different types of rape include date rape, gang rape, marital rape, incestual rape, child sexual abuse, prison rape, acquaintance rape, war rape and statutory rape.

"Victim blaming" is holding the victim of a crime to be in whole or in part responsible for the crime.

Rape is a Class 1 Felony in most states. It carries a punishment that could land you in the iron college for life.

In some countries, you could lose your life if you're convicted of rape. And yes, the American justice system has the death penalty for rape in some states.

Jay-Z & Beyonce Celebrate Anniversary In Cuba!



Get the siren, Drudge: The Carters are in Havana.

Jay-Z appears on Roc-A-Fella Records/RocNation.
Beyonce appears on Columbia Records/Sony Music Group.

That guy who throws shit to the wall hoping it will stick, the turd flipper, King Hippo, and that guy who helped Obama win will be complaining about it soon.

Since Jay-Z and Beyonce are the biggest supporters of President Barack Obama, the conservative agitating and the remaining portions of the junk food media will complain about them being "communist" and "traitors".

Seeing they've celebrated five years of marriage, the couple goes to Cuba to celebrate with paparazzi in toe.

The couple had to wear bulletproof vest due to the security restrictions and the Cuba's customs on celebrity travels. The couple usually carries a high volume of security members.

But since when is it not allowed to travel to Cuba?

Didn't the president sign an executive order lifting travel restrictions to Cuba?

Anyway, two Florida Republican lawmakers want to have the U.S. State Department look into the matter!

Florida Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart have written a letter to Adam Szubin, director of the United States’ Office of Foreign Assets Control, seeking information on the type of licence the pair of stars received for their travel to Cuba. The Caribbean Journal reports the two representatives were totally pissed and are demanding an investigation into the matter.

The letter wrote by the two included here:

Dear Director Szubin:

We write to express concern and to request information regarding the highly publicized trip by U.S. musicians Beyoncé Knowles-Carter (Beyoncé) and Shawn Carter (Jay-Z) to Cuba. We would like to respectfully request, within all applicable rules and guidelines, information regarding the type of license that Beyoncé and Jay-Z received, for what purpose, and who approved such travel.

As you know, U.S. law expressly prohibits the licensing of financial transactions for “tourist activities” in Cuba (Section 910(b)(1) of the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act). If these individuals were given people-to-people licenses, we would like to bring to your attention the Cuba Travel Advisory issued by OFAC on July 25, 2011 which states, “OFAC only licenses People-to-People Groups that certify that all participants will have a full-time schedule of educational exchange activities that will result in meaningful interaction between the travelers and individuals in Cuba.” These restrictions are in place because the Cuban dictatorship is one of four U.S.-designated state sponsors of terrorism with one of the world’s most egregious human rights records. Cuba’s tourism industry is wholly state-controlled; therefore, U.S. dollars spent on Cuban tourism directly fund the machinery of oppression that brutally represses the Cuban people.

Despite the clear prohibition against tourism in Cuba, numerous press reports described the couple’s trip as tourism, and the Castro regime touted it as such in its propaganda. We represent a community of many who have been deeply and personally harmed by the Castro regime’s atrocities, including former political prisoners and the families of murdered innocents. The restrictions on tourism travel are common-sense measures meant to prevent U.S. dollars from supporting a murderous regime that opposes U.S. security interests at every turn and which ruthlessly suppresses the most basic liberties of speech, assembly, and belief. We support the Cuban people by refusing to sustain their jailers.

Thank you very much for your assistance in this important matter and look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

Ileana Ros-Lehtinen Mario Diaz-Balart

Member of Congress Member of Congress

US citizens are permitted to travel to Cuba only under certain licences, such as people-to-people travel or educational endeavors.

“We would like to respectfully request, within all applicable rules and guidelines, information regarding the type of licence that Beyoncé and Jay-Z received, for what purpose, and who approved such travel,” the lawmakers wrote.
US Lawmakers Express “Concern” Over Jay-Z, Beyonce Cuba Trip
Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Florida) and Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Florida) are pissed that Jay-Z and Beyonce traveled to Cuba for their anniversary.
“If these individuals were given people-to-people licenses, we would like to bring to your attention the Cuba Travel Advisory issued by OFAC on July 25, 2011 which states, ‘OFAC only licenses People-to-People Groups that certify that all participants will have a full-time schedule of educational exchange activities that will result in meaningful interaction between the travelers and individuals in Cuba,’” they wrote.

Jay-Z and Beyonce in Havana, Cuba.
Both Members of Congress have been longtime critics of Cuba’s government.

The two said that, because Cuba’s tourism industry is “wholly state-owned,” “US dollars spent on Cuban tourism directly fund the machinery of oppression that brutally represses the Cuban people.”

In other words, we're pissed that two celebrities who openly endorsed President Barack Obama went to Cuba. So that makes the president a "communist", right?

Jay-Z and Beyonce, have fun. Ignore the haters!

I'm coming to the conclusion that conservatives are worthless and their fussing and screaming amounts to little or no action from the progressives. It's time to hit them where it hurts. We need to get more active in politics to stop the Republicans and their allies in the conservative movement. They're still stuck on Reagan and the 20th Century. If you're a progressive/liberal, you want progress to move forward.

There's no need to hide from the hate mongering of those who spent their lives trying to divide us! Loserville and the guy who sticks shit on the wall hoping it will stick have failed, and hopefully the Republicans see it! They need to cut the vein and move to the middle. Keep being conservative and all, but drop the racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, anti-choice, and condescending rhetoric and maybe you'll win elections!

The race card is burning a hole in the Republican Party's donors pockets.

In other non-story news, two more Democrats come out in favor of gay marriage. Indiana's Joe Donnelly and North Dakota's Heidi Heitkamp got the message. These two came from states that perennial loser Mitt Romney won! These two are slightly conservative. Unlike West Virginia's Joe Manchin who got his head up some dude's ass!

Democrats were warned by their rich liberal allies that if they don't support gay marriage, immigration reform and allow cuts to domestic programs, they'll suffer at the ballot box.

Georgia School Continues Segregated Prom!

Teens demand their prom be integrated.

In the age of President Barack Obama, we still have individuals still living in the bubble. The conservative/white supremacist bubble is a 24/7 operation. From the likes of those people over at Loserville, to the guy who throws shit on the wall, the president's political foes are unhinged.

In most of the Southern states, some individuals still relish in the 20th Century with this notion that if we can separate the two, there's no problems.

In the state of Georgia, there is a high school in the rural Wilcox County still prone to having this segregated mentality. The Washington Post and WSAV, a NBC affiliate out of Savannah reports that Wilcox County High School in Georgia have long held segregated proms — one for blacks and one for whites. This year a group of black and white teens who have been friends for years are fighting for a fully integrated prom. But it hasn’t been easy.
Proms are memorable.
Traditionally students at Wilcox County High School have held two segregated proms, though they are not funded by or held at the school. This year, when the teens asked the Board of Education for one fully integrated prom, the board applauded the idea, but said it couldn’t stop segregated proms because the events are sponsored by parents and students.

The teenagers said that nobody but a white student would dare attend the white-only prom, and noted that last year, a biracial student showed up and was turned away — by police officers.

Prom is not the only segregated event at the school, WSAV reported. There are also segregated dances at Homecoming. This year for the first time at the school an integrated Homecoming court was named, but Quanesha Wallace, a black teen who is one of the students pushing for a fully integrated prom, said she was voted queen of the court but was not invited to the white dance.

The friends say they are running into resistance to change; posters they have put up for a fully integrated prom have been ripped down.

“We’re embarrassed,” several of the girls said at the same time in this video about the prom.

The group has been friends since the 4th grade and they say they do everything together, except prom night.

"We are all friends," said Stephanie. "That's just kind of not right that we can't go to prom together."

Stephanie and Keela are white and Mareshia and Quanesha are black. They're seniors at Wilcox County High School, a school that has never held an integrated prom during its existence.

"There's a white prom and there's an integrated prom," said Keela.


The rule is strictly enforced, any race other than Caucasian wouldn't dare to attend the white prom.

"They would probably have the police come out there and escort them off the premises," said Keela.

That was the case just last year as a biracial student was turned away by police. It's been that way for as long as anyone can remember and it doesn't stop at prom. Homecoming is also segregated. Normally, there would be a court for each race, but for the first time the school decided to elect only one homecoming court, Quanesha won. But there were still two separate dances.

"I felt like there had to be a change," said Quanesha. "For me to be a black person and the king to be a white person, I felt like why can't we come together."

Quanesha wasn't invited to the white homecoming. In fact, the pair took separate pictures for the school yearbook.

"When people around here are set in their ways, they are not to adamant to change," said Marishia.

So the girls are taking matters into their own hands.

"If we don't change it nobody else will," said Keela.

They're part of a group of students organizing a prom for everyone to attend, called the "Integrated Prom", but everyone is not fond of the idea.

"I put up posters for the "Integrated Prom" and we've had people ripping them down at the school," said Keela.

The group says they will continue to make progress even though there doesn't seem to be much motivation to change.

"We need to stick with the tradition," Quanesha said mockingly. "This is a traditional thing we don't need to change and stuff like that, but why? No one can answer my question.

"Exactly," responded Keela. "They think nothing's broken so don't fix it."

There will still be two proms this year. Neither proms are financed by or allowed to take place at Wilcox County High School. The students said that when they pushed for one prom, the school offered a resolution to permit an integrated prom that would allow all students to attend but not stop segregated proms.

The group also has a Facebook page named "Integrated Prom" to gain support and are also hosting several fund-raising events to pay for the prom.

Rust On The Springs!



Unemployment numbers are out. Before the sequester, the unemployment number was 7.7%.

Sound the alarms over there in the conservative media circus, the numbers are now at 7.6% with hiring numbers at 88,000 new jobs being added.

When Congress allowed the sequester to go through it put a major dent in hiring. Many government workers are getting either the pink slip or the furlough days. The Republicans got what they wanted, spending cuts.

They think it's the president's fault for the rest of their proposals. They wanted to cut domestic programs.

When the 2011 debacle over the debt ceiling advocated for Congress to create a bipartisan group to look into smart budgeting, the Republicans refuse to budge on tax increases. That lead to the sequester trigger.

Many members of Congress didn't think it was going to happen. The 112th Congress was the most ineffective legislative body in 80 years. The Republicans have the House of Representatives and the Democrats have the Senate.

Republicans passed a budget. The budget sponsored by Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin, former Republican vice presidential nominee) was controversial. The proposals were to create massive cuts to safety nets while preserving defense spending.

The Democrats in the House had proposals that advocated for tax increases on the wealthy. That budget didn't get a hearing.

The U.S. Senate had waited four years to pass a budget. The reasons why exist only in the constant filibustering of proposals being sponsored by the Democrats and the president. Republicans didn't want to support tax increases and the closing of tax havens.

President Barack Obama trounce the perennial loser Mitt Romney by labeling Republicans as out of touch and too extreme. That paid off.
Record low job approvals for all members of the leadership. The Republican leaders and Democratic leaders are still stubborn as ever. Congressman John Boehner (R-Ohio, House Speaker), Senator Harry Reid (D-Nevada, Majority Leader), Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky, Minority Leader), Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-California, Minority Leader).
The president kept harping to the American public that the sequester will hurt the economy and stifle the government. The message was lost in the junk food media. They were talking about the president's vacations with Tiger Woods and First Lady Michelle Obama taking her daughters on vacation.

The president, members of his cabinet and some Democratic senators volunteered to take a paycut to their salaries. Even that move won't satisfy the junk food media. I hope the American people vote the Republicans out of the Congress.

The Tea Party flopped and the American people are suffering because of these radically conservative extremists.

Even the president's liberal allies are upset that the demands of cutting social security and domestic programs such as the Pell grant are on President Barack Obama's agenda.

The Associated Press reports that U.S. employers added just 88,000 jobs in March, the fewest in nine months and a sharp retreat after a period of strong hiring. The slowdown is a reminder that the job market's path back to full health will be uneven.

The Labor Department said Friday that the unemployment rate dipped to 7.6 percent from 7.7 percent. While that is the lowest in four years, the rate fell only because more people stopped looking for work. The government counts people as unemployed only if they are actively looking for a job.

The weakness in March may signal that some companies were worried last month about steep government spending cuts that began on March 1.

March's job gains were half the pace of the previous six months, when the economy added an average of 196,000 jobs a month. The drop raises fears that the economy could slow after a showing signs of strengthening over the winter.

"Best Looking" Attorney General Sparks Controversy!

California Attorney General Kamala Harris and President Barack Obama. The uproar over  "the best looking" attorney general is another example of the junk food media's coverage of the president. Of course, inserting that the president is a "sexist" and rumors of affairs will swirl around the internet.

Sound the alarms, the president is a sexist! Why you ask?

Because President Barack Obama made a comment about the Attorney General of California, Kamala Harris being an attractive woman, and the media circus goes bananas. Of course, in the conservative/white supremacist bubble they're word vomiting about how the "dictator" is a "sexist pig".

Soon you're hear stories about the president having an affair with Harris. Of course, Harris is married with children. Harris was part of the Obama campaign outreach for Hispanics and Asian/Pacific Islander voters.

Of course, this was Obama at a fundraiser where the microphones were off and the media was excluded.

So this is what blew up Twitter overnight.

Another newsworthy story posted on that guy who throws shit to the wall hoping it will stick!

Obama assessed the beauty of California’s attorney general Kamala Harris, calling her “the best looking attorney general,” during remarks at a fundraiser in Atherton, California.

The junk food media continues to be shunned by the president. The conservatives seriously believe the media is in the tank for the president. As of recently, the media tuned in to see Kerry Washington's show Scandal.

They're hiding in the bushes looking for the slip of the tongue by the president, First Lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden. Whatever they say, it's certainly going to raise the conservative/white supremacist bubble.

The Washington Post reports that Obama diverged from his prepared remarks to praise the looks of the state attorney general, Kamala Harris.

She’s brilliant and she’s dedicated, she’s tough,” he said. “She also happens to be, by far, the best looking attorney general.

It’s true! C’mon, he added, to laughter from the crowd.

Obama is in California raising money for the 2014 election cycle. This event raising funds for the Democratic National Committee was a garden party at the home of Levi Strauss-heir John Goldman.

Harris is seen as a potential gubernatorial candidate, although her speech at last summer’s Democratic National Convention did not generate much buzz. SCOTUSBlog has named her as a potential Supreme Court justice, while acknowledging that electoral timing might make her an unlikely pick. The daughter of an Indian mother and a Jamaican-American father, she has been described as “the female Barack Obama.”

Michelle Malkin: Obama's The Party Animal And Chief!

It's funny they got the banter "unhinged" before the ticker. "That Guy Who Helped Obama Win" and the "Turd Flipper" are once again defending the indefensible and attacking the most ridiculous things. They're complaining about President Barack Obama hosting an event in which supporters Justin Timberlake, Al Green, Queen Latifah and Cyndi Lauper are the headliners.

Get some antacid, it's another edition of turd flipping with Michelle Malkin.

Got a new gripe about the president, head over to Fox News and watch "That Guy Who Helped Barack Obama Win" and the Turd Flipper go into this horrible rant about the president hosting an event at White House.

Queen Latifah, Justin Timberlake, Al Green, and Cyndi Lauper are going to be featured on a PBS program that pays tribute to Memphis soul.

Of course, that guy was whining on radio and television about the event and how the American people are locked out of the White House. Ignoring the protocols by the United States Secret Service, that guy claims that the president would rather party while the American people suffer.

The turd flipper had the nerve to call the president and Vice President Joe Biden, the "party animals in chief".

Last week, it was the Breitbart people trying to dig themselves out the hole. They were reporting on Malia and Sasha's spring break in the Bahamas. The conservative media broke tradition by going into the business of the president's children.
Nothing could satisfy the Republicans. Not even the smooth soul of Al Green. 
But since they had no respect for the president, it's expected.

Seriously, are we really worried about the president's vacations and guest at the White House?

Anyways, we're counting the days before we hear the official announcement that Rachel Maddow surpass that guy in ratings. I predict it's going to be in late 2013.

The president, some in his cabinet and a few Democratic senators volunteered to cut a portion of their pay.

Of course, that will not satisfy that guy or the turd flipper.

Also, that guy defended the Rutgers University basketball coach who yelled at his team with hateful rhetoric.

Are you getting tired of the bullhorn rhetoric?

Drudge: Obama Targeting Me!

Conservative agitator Matt Drudge thinks President Barack Obama is out to get him!

For six years, conservative agitator Matt Drudge thrown everything at Barack Obama.

His blog The Drudge Report is one shop for conservative agitating.

Matt Drudge maintains his news agitating website 24/7 with stories that target President Barack Obama.

Most of the news stories that are linked through The Drudge Report attracts some of the most extreme members of society.

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

Yet, all the stories he's linked on the website didn't sway the election. It practically helped Barack Obama win the presidency. Now in a second term, it's full steam ahead. He is just as bitter as "That Guy Who Helped Obama Win".

Drudge is a conservative agitator who hopes all the shit he's thrown sticks to the wall.

So from now on, after this, Drudge will be known as "That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall!"

Anything off The Drudge Report is certain for a word vomit of Obama name dropping, condescending rhetoric and racial slurs.

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

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



Matt Drudge, Rush Limbaugh and Fox News are primary threats to the president's agenda. For everything that the president proposes, the conservative agitating media trying to stop it.

Matt Drudge is a race-baiter and is a professional bigot.

He makes his millions off profit rage. There's nothing wrong with it. He's entitled to make his money.

But how far could this go?

Will Drudge, Limbaugh and Fox News inspire another domestic terrorist?

Will they admit they're the reasons for unrest among the races?

The hosts of Fox News' The Five thought it was a good time to ask if independent owner Matt Drudge is on the White House’s “enemies list.”

The Politico reports that White House Senior Advisor Dan Pfeiffer criticized what he sees as the media’s “Pavlovian response” to controversial links posted on conservative news aggregator The Drudge Report. Pfeiffer also argued that the site actively “hurts” the White House’s efforts to convey their message “on a daily basis.”

Pfeiffer stressed that the stories that Drudge puts out not only “damage” the White House’s message, but also that he believes the site’s reporters try to spin the stories into something bigger. “The example being that, you know, that anyone saying anything can get caught up in the spin cycle in a way that is very damaging… you know, it hurts what we’re trying to do on a daily basis but is also very damaging to that individual person,” Pfeiffer said.

Mixed Race, Pretty Face

Mixed Race, Pretty Face

Roger Ebert Passes Away!

Two cultural icons Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert. They hosted At The Movies, a syndicated program that talks about the latest movies. They were best known for the trademark "thumbs up, thumbs down" ratings. Gene had died in 1999. The news broke today that Roger had died. Both died of cancer.

We'll always remember Roger Ebert as the guy who gave thumbs up to most of America's movies. He along with Gene Siskel were At The Movie, a syndicated series in which two movie critics review the movies.

Today, it's reported that the long time Chicago Sun Times film and music critic had died of cancer at age 70.

He leaves behind a legacy of movie reviews and witty humor.

Survived by his wife Chaz Hammelsmith, Roger Ebert lived through his cancer that took away his voice. But with his voice gone, he's magic was in the writing. He wrote screenplays and

Gene Siskel was his rival over at Chicago Tribune. They used to debate the quality of movies by using their trademark "thumbs up and thumbs down" ratings. They ended up becoming cultural icons in the film and music industry.

Roger Ebert and his wife Chaz.
Gene Siskel died of caner in 1999, leaving the America media shocked and sadden by his loss. Roger for the most part, kept his friend close to his side. He vowed to carry forth Gene's legacy by continuing on the show with Richard Roeper. Although his name remained in the title through 2008, he did not appear on the show after mid-2006, when he suffered post-surgical complications related to thyroid cancer that left him unable to speak. Ebert's final series, Ebert Presents: At the Movies, premiered on January 21, 2011, with Ebert contributing a review voiced by someone else in a brief segment called "Roger's Office."

Ebert announced that he would be taking a "leave of presence" from his duties because the hip fracture he suffered a few months earlier was determined to be cancer and he would be receiving radiation treatment; he intended to continue reviewing, but "only the movies I want to review", which he stated was "what I've always fantasized about doing".

He died two days later. The closing sentence on his final blog post, two days before his death, said, "So on this day of reflection I say again, thank you for going on this journey with me. I'll see you at the movies.

President Barack Obama, through the White House Press Office, released the following statement:

"Michelle and I are saddened to hear about the passing of Roger Ebert. For a generation of Americans - and especially Chicagoans - Roger was the movies. When he didn't like a film, he was honest; when he did, he was effusive - capturing the unique power of the movies to take us somewhere magical. Even amidst his own battles with cancer, Roger was as productive as he was resilient - continuing to share his passion and perspective with the world. The movies won't be the same without Roger, and our thoughts and prayers are with Chaz and the rest of the Ebert family."
