Conservative Outrage Over Obama Speaking At Historically Black College!

No duh!

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to those lost in this horrible tornado tragedy out of Oklahoma.

President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama are attending college and high school commencements. Their presence excites the people graduating, pisses off the conservatives whenever they tell the students the hard truth of life outside the high school or college walls.

Comedian and liberal talk radio agitator Stephanie Miller along with her producer Chris Levoie were talking about the conservative outrage from the likes of That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall. They were commenting about the latest outrage from the conservative agitators on talk radio. The anger was over President Obama doing a commencement speech at the Morehouse College, a historically Black predominately men's college in Atlanta.

The president delivers his speech to the next generation of African American leaders. Just in case, you didn't know, the president is Black. And he's talking to a Black audience about the struggles to success.

First Lady Michelle Obama delivers a commencement speech at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Magnet School in Nashville. The school is named after a Black religious and cultural icon, and I am guessing the student body is Black. And she's talking to a Black and Hispanic audience about the struggles to success.

Okay, That Guy Who Helped Obama Win. Miller predicted that he would cover this. Sure enough he did.

Here's the videos of both the Obamas speaking to the future generations.


________________________________



As usual, the conservative agitators can't stomach the president telling "us Black folk" about the racism that we'll face in the institutional world.

The Weekly Standard (aka Nothing Standard) goes into the usual word vomit about the president using a "Black voice" when he talks in front of a Black crowd.

Psst, the president is Black.

In a commencement address at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, President Barack Obama recalls Jim Crow laws and racism of the 1940s and 1950s. Morehouse College is a historically black college.

In the rain, Black graduates listen to President Obama deliver a speech about how to achieve success.

"Dr. King was just 15 years old when he enrolled here at Morehouse.  He was an unknown, undersized, unassuming young freshman who lived at home with his parents.  I think it’s fair to say he wasn’t the coolest kid on campus; for the suits he wore, his classmates called him 'Tweed.'  But his education at Morehouse helped to forge the intellect, the soul force, the disciple and compassion that would transform America.  It was here that he was introduced to the writings of Gandhi, and Thoreau, and the theory of civil disobedience.  It was here that professors encouraged him to look past the world as it was and fight for the world as it should be," Obama will say, according to text provided by the White House.

What pisses off the conservatives is the "Barack Obama telling the Black crowd, there's such thing as racism in America!"

In the conservative's mind, racism doesn't exist. It's a product of Black leaders causing trouble. It's a product of liberalism which keeps "us Black folk" poor, ignorant, dependent on "gubmint" and not willing to stand up for personal responsibility.

So your experiences give you special insight that today’s leaders need.  If you tap into that experience, it should endow you with empathy – the understanding of what it’s like to walk in somebody else’s shoes.  It should give you an ability to connect.  It should give you a sense of what it means to overcome barriers.

Whatever success I achieved, whatever positions of leadership I’ve held, have depended less on Ivy League degrees or SAT scores or GPAs, and have instead been due to that sense of empathy and connection – the special obligation I felt, as a black man like you, to help those who needed it most; people who didn’t have the opportunities that I had, because but for the grace of God, I might be in their shoes.  So it’s up to you to widen your circle of your concern – to create greater justice both in your own community, but also across our country.  To make sure everyone has a voice; everyone gets a seat at the table; to make sure that everyone – no matter what they look like or where they come from, or who they love – gets a chance to walk through those doors of opportunity if they want it bad enough. 

Accepting an honorary degree, President Barack Obama talks to the class of 2013.

Okay, is this the outrage the conservatives have with President Barack Obama?

Really.

The junk food media reports that the constant obsession with the Obama "scandals" will get old soon.

The Republicans and the conservative agitators are almost giddy about these scandals. There are some calling for impeachment because of this. Again making the mistake of overplaying into something.

Republicans have continued to stall bureaucracy nominees, federal judges, and legislation.

Just this week, Republicans balked at immigration reform. It's likely Republicans won't support the full package no matter what the immigration reform has. They don't want any inserts of LGBT immigrants or "amnesty". So the Democrats quickly stripped it out of session and the immigration bill continues to move forward.

The Republicans are ignoring the polls. A Public Policy Polling survey released last week found that a majority of voters said Congress had better things to do, like pass immigration reform and gun background check bills, than continue focusing on Benghazi. And that was even after a much-ballyhooed "whistle-blower" hearing into the matter.

That Guy Who Helped Obama Win continues on this fixation with the president speech to the Black community. His motives are to spook the White audience of his radio and television programs. And on occasions his Black conservative audience too.

So the president tells a Black college about the struggles of the world. He tells them that if you're to achieve the goals of success, you have to work twice as hard. The first lady says the same. With a congress wasting their time on Benghazi, the IRS and the Associated Press, instead of jobs, unemployment and infrastructure, then there's a reason for the president to tell a Black college to work extra hard. Extra hard to get the U.S. Congress to do something to help the American people.

Conservatives are screaming that the president is being "racist" for "telling us Black folk" about conservatives  being those evil "white racists".

The Guy Who Helped Obama Win is on a never-ending whinefest about the "anointed one" being hurtful to Black leaders.

No matter what President Barack Obama does, this guy, the Republican Party and the conservative agitators will complain, whine and even goes as far to saying racial slurs to show their dissatisfaction with him.

Liberals: Should Obama Help Oklahoma?

Being human outweighs the toxic political environment.

Dozens of Americans lost their lives in a tragedy. And yet, our politicians and those in the junk food media can't put aside their differences to help one another.

See how toxic our politics have turned! Even in the event of a natural disaster, our liberal and conservative agitators continue the war one on another. They throw shit to the wall hoping it would stick. Each of them pointing fingers at President Barack Obama in the process.

The state of Oklahoma is facing one of the worst natural disasters in American history. A EF-5 tornado rips through Oklahoma City and its suburbs. 

Our liberal friends are nudged about how President Barack Obama is willing to help a state he would get the least amount of support. A state that is 89% Republican and 11% other (include Democrats).

Moore, Oklahoma destroyed by an EF5 tornado.

A state that President Barack Obama only gets 34% job approval.

Of course, you're familiar with how conservatives treat our president. In one sentence they'll claim they love this country and Jesus Christ. The next sentence would contain a word vomit of President Barack Obama, liberalism, hatred of Islam and the LGBT community.

Some online are saying why should we help?

Answer: It's the right thing to do!

I know it's hard to stomach the vitriol from Republicans and the conservatives. Even in a state like Oklahoma. It's still the way of Americans to help one another in the time of need.

They may never like the president. He know it. 

Politics takes a backseat. President Barack Obama knows that. Even though his rivals continue to show no compassion for him or those in the nation, he continues forth. Despite the nasty hateful and even racist rhetoric from some, the president will lend his hand to his greatest enemy.

Oklahoma will recover and we will stand in faith with them. We here at Journal de la Reyna send our prayers and condolences to those in Oklahoma.

Tragedy In Oklahoma!

Oklahoma hit with deadly storms.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to those lives lost in this week's devastating tornadoes. In the states of Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas and Missouri a deadly outbreak.

Not that I said I told you so, the junk food media has now focused on disasters. Yet again, proving that any good tragedy is ratings gold.

Natural disasters trump phony scandals. The talk of the week was Benghazi, the IRS and the Justice Department demanding the source of leaks by snooping on the Associated Press will soon be just another blip on the year's calendar.

Didn't I say that a tragedy will take the media heat off President Barack Obama?

Now a real time for outrage and sorrow. The impact of a disaster.

We learn that more than a dozen people are confirmed dead. The city of Moore, Oklahoma faced a severe outbreak of E-F4 tornadoes.

Moore, and neighboring Newcastle and Oklahoma City's south side, were devastated by an extremely intense tornado.Entire subdivisions were totally destroyed; the tornado also struck Briarwood and Plaza Towers elementary schools in Moore, while classes were still in progress. The Oklahoma Medical Examiner's office reports that 37 deaths have been reported so far and the death toll is expected to increase.

We don't have a strong confirmation but I am guessing it will rank right up there with Joplin, Missouri.

President Barack Obama, Republican governor Mary Fallon, and Oklahoma City mayor Mick Cornett were informed of the deaths of the residents.

Ironic that Republican Senators Jim Inhofe and Tom Coburn voted against the disaster relief when it came to Hurricane Sandy. What happens now when it happens in their own backyard?

A state that voted only 34% for President Barack Obama in two elections now relies on him to solve the state's worst disaster in years. The same racist acting, condescending name calling, overweight, red meat, gun totting conservatives now need President Barack Obama to help in federal aid.

Probably a handful of Oklahoma conservative minded individuals who believe that federal aid is for "leeches" and "gubmint centered parasites".

Shawnee and Moore Oklahoma were destroyed by tornadoes.

Not to take the seriousness out of a tragedy, but I am very sick and tired of conservatives sitting in glass houses hoping that a stone doesn't thrown.

A rundown of what the massive outbreak of tornadoes in Moore, Oklahoma leveled about two thirds of the city. Two elementary schools were destroyed, a subdivision and numerous vehicles around the Interstate 35/40/44 corridor are toss like sticks.

We'll be on this issue when more develops but as of right now the junk food media confirms that 51 people are dead.

NBC reports that crews frantically searched the wreckage and were only beginning to get a sense of the destruction. Hospitals reported several dozen injured.

“The whole city looks like a debris field,” said Mayor Glenn Lewis of the city of Moore, which appeared to be hardest hit.

At Plaza Towers Elementary School, authorities said there were casualties could not specify how many or give details. The tornado tore the roof off, and authorities kept hysterical parents back because it was too loud to hear screams for help. A teacher told NBC affiliate KFOR that she draped herself on top of six children in a bathroom to shelter them.

It was not clear how many children were trapped. Students in fourth, fifth and sixth grade were evacuated to a church, but students in lower grades had sheltered in place, KFOR reported. More than two hours after the tornado struck, several children were pulled out alive.

Emergency workers stepped gingerly around piles of wreckage left on the foundations of homes. Other people simply walked around dazed, marveling that nothing was left of their houses — and in many cases that they themselves were alive. Fires broke out in some places.

President Barack Obama pledged the full help of the federal government. Gov. Mary Fallin asked the people of Oklahoma for patience and promised: “We will bring every single resource out that we can.”

No longer notable. An EF-4 tornado ravishes Moore, Oklahoma.

The tornado Monday also came one day after another cluster of storms in Oklahoma that killed two elderly men in the town of Shawnee. Tens of millions of people from Texas to the Great Lakes — an area covering 55 million people — had been warned to brace for more severe weather Monday.

The Sunday storms destroyed mobile homes, flipped trucks and sent people across 100 miles running for cover. In Kansas, a weather forecaster was forced off the air as a tornado bore down on his station.

“You can see where there’s absolutely nothing, then there are places where you have mobile home frames on top of each other, debris piled up,” Mike Booth, the sheriff of Pottawatomie County, Okla., told The Associated Press. “It looks like there’s been heavy equipment in there on a demolition tour.”

Fallin declared a state of emergency for 16 counties on Sunday and added five Monday.

Please keep all those impacted by today's storm in your thoughts & prayers.#okwx

Ann Coulter's Commentary About Star Trek

Pew: You Black Folk, Lie, Cheat And Steal Elections!

Polling company generates talking point about high Black turnout. Republicans continue to discredit Black voters as race obsessed and "gubmint" dependents.

The Pew Research Poll which is one of the many polls that got it wrong on the election made a shocking theme to the rise in the Black voter participation and the high turnout in last year's election.

For the first time in American history, the Black voter turnout surpassed the White voter turnout.

What helped President Barack Obama succeed in trouncing that perennial loser Mitt Romney, was the non-White vote. That means it was a heavy turnout of Black and Hispanic voters.

The Republicans publicity tour is to regain what little they've had in minority support. They haven't tried nor succeeded in dealing with issues facing Black America.

All the Republicans done was say Benghazi, Obama witch hunts and Obama phones.

Of course, these issues haven't put food on the plate. With the rising cost of food, fuel and heating oil, many Americans are turning to food banks and food stamp assistance. The Republicans want to cut entitlements and severely dent the safety nets because they're obsessed with watching videos from Loserville or the links from The Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall.

These issues don't help Black and Hispanic Americans find work. Yet, the Republican Party complains constantly about how high Black unemployment is overwhelmingly high and they haven't passed one law that benefits.

These issues that the Republicans are harping on doesn't benefit in the area of interest of Black America or the general public.

These issues only achieve short term success among the ever so annoying right wing agitators from the talk radio and blog circuit. Continuously denying reality, conservatives are rallying for President Barack Obama's impending "impeachment" over these controversies.

By the Republicans taking the bait on these "scandals", they're reckoning with the loss of a voting block.

The Hispanic vote is very important as the Black voter. The Black voter is probably a permanent voting block for the Democratic Party. The Democrats are working hard to pass immigration reform. The Republicans are trying to push even more intrusive laws to stop Blacks from voting, undocumented workers from achieving citizenship, and LGBT community from marriage. They want to get into a woman's legs to prevent abortions. But yet when a woman has many children out of wedlock, the Republicans call them "gubmint" dependents and sluts.

Pew Research Center produced the talking points to those condescending White Republicans and their Black conservatives allies. They wrote that the Black vote could have been overwhelming due to inconsistencies in the highly populated Black areas.


The Census Bureau made big news last week when it reported that the black voter turnout rate (66.2%) exceeded the white voter turnout rate (64.1%) for the first time ever in 2012. But a closer look at the numbers raises some intriguing questions.

Valued and never taken for granted.

It’s possible that the lines may have first crossed in 2008. But it’s also possible they may not have crossed at all.

Let’s start with the second scenario. It’s based on data that suggest that last year, blacks may have been more inclined than whites to report that they voted when in fact they didn't. This is known as a “social desirability bias,” a familiar concern among survey researchers.


So they're saying "social desirability bias". Meaning that Blacks turnout because they were inspired to have the first Black president. Yeah, that's true.

Never in history, you would see such a turnout for the Black candidate. There have been many Black politicos who would run for president and never achieve the goal of being the nominee of a national ticket.

Only Barack Obama managed to beat back Hillary Clinton, a heavily favored Democratic candidate to become the nominee and eventually the president. Clinton being a face familiar in the White House as the former first lady, and later U.S. senator had huge Black support.

Until the Iowa caucuses, Clinton had almost 80% of the Black vote. But when Obama won the Iowa caucus, many Blacks started to notice. Obama managed to pull in Black voters after South Carolina win. Since then, the Obama campaign made it a top priority to help first time Black voters turnout for him. And in 2012, he to keep his supporters rallied up, despite pessimism.

Pew stated: [Might this be] because non-voting blacks were more eager than non-voting whites to tell survey takers that they voted for the first ever African-American president? While there’s no way of knowing for sure, the data are suggestive. When we plotted the state discrepancies in 2008 and 2004, we found a similar pattern, but we also found the racial skew was stronger in 2008 and 2012, the two elections in which Obama was on the ballot, than in 2004.

To better understand these patterns, we computed a “correlation coefficient,” which measures the relationship between two phenomena of interest—in this case, the over reporting of turnout in a state (the difference between the estimated and official voter turnout rates) and the share of a state’s adult population that is black. Our analysis finds a positive correlation of .52 (on a scale of -1 to 1) in 2012, .54 in 2008 and .41 in 2004. If we remove the two biggest outliers in the scatter plot analysis—Mississippi and Washington—the overall correlation remains positive, but it is only about half as large.

It’s also important to note that some states with small black populations over-reported, while a few states with large black populations under-reported. For example, the Census Bureau estimated that New Mexico’s voter turnout rate was 61.6%, compared with the official tally of 55%. New Mexico has a small share of blacks (2.7%) in its voting eligible population. On the other hand, the Census Bureau findings from Maryland, which has an age-eligible electorate that is 29% black, suggest that respondents under-reported their turnout by 2.5 percentage points.

Finally, it is also worth noting that just because voting was more widely over-reported in states with higher African-American populations, there is no way of knowing if blacks or non-blacks were more likely to over-report. This correlation is intriguing, but not definitive. In addition, one should keep in mind that the Census Bureau’s findings from individual states are subject to margins of error that may account for some of the apparent discrepancies in estimated and actual turnout rates.

Bottom line: This analysis doesn’t prove the Census Bureau’s finding is wrong. Nor does it negate the long-term turnout trends, which show that black turnout has been rising since 1996. It may, however, merit an asterisk alongside the claim that blacks turned out at a higher rate than whites in 2012.

Black conservatives constant whine about President Obama not caring about the Black community.

But wait, what about the first scenario—the possibility  that this milestone actually occurred in 2008, not 2012?

That assessment is based an analysis that removes from the pool of eligible voters all adults who have been disenfranchised as a result of felony convictions, something the Census Bureau does not (and cannot) do. According to the Sentencing Project, an advocacy group, nearly 6 million adults are ineligible to vote for that reason, a disproportionate share of who are black. If you recalculate turnout rates after removing those disenfranchised voters, then 68.5% of eligible blacks voted in 2008, compared with 67% of eligible whites, according to Bernard L. Fraga, a political scientist studying at Harvard. The Census Bureau, by contrast, had 66.1% of whites voting that year, compared with 64.7% of blacks.

So pick your data source and write your own history

No Pew, you get this straight, for over 50 years, the Black community fought their asses off to vote.

I mean Republicans aren't the NEW BLACK.

We just need to take a chill and understand that we are American too. We're not second class citizens those in the conservative/white supremacist bubble made us out to be.

We just broke the color barrier. The first Black president in modern history. No one would expect this could happen this fast. Right into the 2000s, our first Black president. Yeah, there's a monumental significance in the Black community. No doubt about it. But to discredit the high turnout to just "us Black folk" voting on race is another reason why there's no place for Black people in the Republican Party.

So take your statistics and condescending rhetoric and sample polls somewhere else!

We don't believe you and we'll keep proving you wrong.

Police Botched Up Hostage Situation Kills Andrea Rebello!

A young woman was killed by police in a botched up hostage situation. Andrea Rebello, her twin sister and their roommates were held hostage by Dalton Smith. He was killed along with the young woman.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to Andrea Rebello.

What's going to burn up the conservative/white supremacists watering holes is the death of a young woman who was held hostage by this knothead. This knothead was a parolee who spent a segment of his young life in the iron college for the very same disease that led him to take her and roommates hostage.

Dalton Smith took advantage of the young women's failure. Their failure was to lock their car and house doors. The crime of opportunity was having young girls with their guard down.

The drinking and partying while the robber takes an advantage of their guard being down.

The New York police were caught in a no-win situation.

The Huffington Post and Associated Press report that Nassau County police are pretty torn that this situation didn't go well. They were hoping that the situation would end peaceful.

The two were killed early Friday by a Nassau County police officer who fired eight shots at the masked man, hitting him seven times but also accidentally hitting Rebello once in the head, Nassau County homicide squad Lt. John Azzata said Saturday.

Smith was holding Rebello in a headlock and pointing a gun at her head before he turned his gun at the officer, Azzata said, prompting the shooting.

Waiting for answers, a family devastated over the death of young woman. Twin sister,  Jessica is torn about losing her best friend and the rock of her life.

"He kept saying, `I'm going to kill her,' and then he pointed the gun at the police officer," Azzata said.

A loaded 9 mm handgun with a serial number scratched off was found at the scene, police said.

Nassau County Police Commissioner Thomas Dale said he had traveled to Rebello's Tarrytown, N.Y., home to explain to Rebello's parents what happened.

"I felt obligated as a police commissioner and as a parent to inform them as soon as all the forensic results were completed," Dale said.

The veteran police officer, who was not identified, has about 12 years of experience on the Nassau County police force and previously spent several years as a New York City police officer, Dale said.

The officer is currently out on sick leave. He will be the focus of an internal police investigation once the criminal investigation is completed, which is standard police procedure in any officer-involved shooting, the commissioner said.

The shooting came just days before the school's commencement ceremonies, which are scheduled for Sunday.

A university spokeswoman said students will be handed white ribbons to wear in memory of Rebello. The shooting, which took place just steps from campus, has cast a pall over the university community as it geared up for commencement.

Earlier Saturday, police announced that Smith, 30, had been wanted on a parole violation related to a first-degree robbery conviction. A warrant was issued for Smith on April 25 for absconding from parole, police said.

Smith had what police described as "an extensive criminal history," which included arrests for robbery in the first degree in 1999, promoting prison contraband in the second degree in 2000, robbery in the first degree in 2003, assault in the second degree in 2003 and robbery in the second degree in 2003.

Rebello was in the two-story home in Uniondale, N.Y., with her twin sister Jessica, a third woman and a man when Smith, wearing a ski mask, walked into the house through an open front door, Azzata said.

The door was left open after someone had moved a car that was blocking a driveway, Azzata said.

When Smith entered, he demanded valuables and was told they were upstairs, Azzata said.

Dalton Smith, the suspect was killed in shootout.

Smith, apparently unsatisfied with the valuables upstairs, asked if any of the four had a bank account and could withdraw money, Azzata said. The intruder then allowed the unidentified woman to leave and collect money from an ATM, telling her she had only eight minutes to come back with cash before he killed one of her friends, Azzata said.

The woman left for the bank and called 911, according to Azzata.

Minutes later, two police officers arrived at the home and found Rebello's twin sister Jessica running out of the front door and the male guest hiding behind a couch on the first floor, Azzata said.

One of the officers entered the home and encountered Smith holding onto Rebello in a headlock, coming down the stairs, Azzata said. Smith pulled Rebello closer and started moving backward toward a rear door of the house, pointing the gun at her head before eventually threatening the officer, Azzata said.

The Rev. Osvaldo Franklin, who gave Rebello and her twin their first communions, on Saturday night told The Associated Press their mother, Nella, couldn't even speak to him earlier in the day.

"She was so devastated," said Franklin. "She's just crying. We have to pray for Andrea, to pray for Jessica because she needs help."

Franklin said a funeral is scheduled for Wednesday at Teresa of Avila Church in Sleepy Hollow, N.Y., and will be in Portuguese.

"The family's a very good family, they have very good values," he said. "They are a very good, very devoted family."

GOP Sundays!

If the Sunday news programs would talk about military sexual assaults, crumbling infrastructure, the budget deficit and unemployment decreasing, they would force Republicans to drop their obsessions with repealing Obamacare, the Benghazi consulate attack, the IRS probing scandal and the Justice Department's phone records scandal.

Why is that the Republican legislators, conservative agitators and policy wonks featured on the Sunday news programs?

Shouldn't these bible thumpers be in church?

I always assumed they thought those hippie Democrats would be spending their days on Sundays smoking a bong or something?

For the most part, I've seen more visuals of Congressman John Boehner (R-Ohio, House Speaker) Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin, former vice presidential nominee), Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Senator Lindsay Graham (R-South Carolina), Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Senator John McCain (R-Arizona), Congressman Tom Cotton (R-Akansas), Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida), and Congressman Darrell Issa (R-California) on the television rambling on and on about President Barack Obama.

I am tired of these constant appearances by these annoying legislators. They are driving the Republican Party right into the toilet along with the rest of the turds.

It's like Democratic lawmakers are on whenever they're defending the president or sulking over a legislative defeat.

The Republicans get 3:1 airtime when there's a controversy. I mean how many times have I've heard Benghazi or Watergate from one of these Republican politicos?

How many times have I heard from Republicans stating that the president is "covering up" and this is "impeachable"?

How many times have I heard from those agitators on the radio and over at Loserville say that the president is a 20th Century fear theme?

Republicans are overreaching. The very mention of impeachment over issues such as those are an example of the bitterness they have against the president. That's probably why their sacrificial lamb was sent back to La Jolla, California with his dancing horses.

The Republican Party may energize the conservative/white supremacist base with these short term distractions, but will this backfire?

I see the very same theme over and over again!

Like a dog with a bone in its mouth, the Republicans can't let this bone go!

The president's grassroots campaign is active daily. The Republicans forgotten they shouldn't reckoned with a community organizer. Clearly, the president will have to campaign throughout his second term to beat back the onslaught of ignorance and deception by the Republican Party.

If the Republican Party would rather spent their time harping on scandals and not infrastructure, that's them!

The Sunday news programs haven't brought up issues such as the Democratic Party's push for jobs, tax reform, unemployment numbers decreasing, the budget deficit decrease, the healthcare reform law and military rapes.

The continuous shootings in America, the delays at airports, the crumbling of train tracks, bridges, sinkholes on highways, and the continuous reports of military ineptness (due to sexual assaults) are huge problems.

But that's not ratings worthy or newsworthy. Unless a tragedy unfolds.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our prayers to the injured in Connecticut. There was a major train derailment that stalled a line between New York City and Boston.

Conservative Outrage Over Obama Using Marines For Umbrella Service!

Conservatives are upset over the president using Marines to help himself and the Turkish prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan out of the rain. The president was making a speech in the Rose Garden during a rain storm.

Seriously, this is one of the many "non-stories" I happen to click upon when I look at That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall Hoping It Will Stick. I mean even Talking Points Memo, a liberal agitating blog went out their way to even cover this waste of time.

First things first, President Barack Obama is the Commander-and-Chief of the U.S. Military.

He is the top commander of the United States Armed Forces. He orders Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to direct the army, navy, air force, the coast guard, and the marines. The president is the overseer of the lives of those civilians who volunteer their service for the safety of our nation and allies abroad.

Nothing will satisfy the conservatives.

Here's where the phony outrage and word vomit starts.

Some conservatives are calling into to question if the president violated the Marine protocol for allowing military usage during press conferences.

The Daily Caller (known as The Daily Nothing) pushes the conspiracy about the abuse of political power.

The Daily Nothing reports that the commander in chief of the American armed forces today forced a violation of Marine Corps regulations, so he wouldn't get wet.

According to Marine Corps regulation MCO P1020.34F of the Marine Corps Uniform Regulations chapter 3, a male Marine is not allowed to carry an umbrella while in uniform. There is no provision in the Marine Corps uniform regulation guidelines that allows a male Marine to carry an umbrella.

Nevertheless, during a press conference under a light drizzle with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan this morning, President Obama allowed the First Head to be protected from the elements by an umbrella held by a male Marine corporal.


They claim that not even the President of the United States can request a Marine to carry an umbrella without the express consent of the Commandant of the Marine Corps, according to the Marine Corps Manual.

Okay, so the president (the leader of the United States and commander of the United States Armed Forces) has to get approval from a member of the Marine Corps?

Yeah right!

This is an example of the ankle biting nonsense the conservative agitators waste their time on. I would rather they spent their time on trying to win back an audience of voters who mostly despise them as a bunch of racist idiots who sole goal is to destroy President Barack Obama.

“I am going to go ahead and ask folks, why don’t we get a couple of Marines – they’re going to look good next to us – just because I’ve got a change of suits but I don’t know about our prime minister,” President Barack Obama said as two Marines appeared at the podiums with umbrellas. “There we go. That’s good.” He gestured to the soggy press corps, adding, “You guys I’m sorry about.”

Scandalous Hat TrickMr. President, when it rains it pours, but most Americans hold their own umbrellas. Today in... fb.me/zAZryzjj
— Sarah Palin (@SarahPalinUSA) May 17, 2013

And apparently the half-term former Loserville resident would take to Twitter to express her outrage about how the American president would make our troops hold his umbrella.

Good grief.

Go For Broke...

The biggest jackpots are coming from two multi-state lotteries.

UPDATE: THE WINNING JACKPOT WAS AT $590.5 MILLION (ESTIMATED $600 MILLION) AND THE WINNING TICKET WAS SOLD IN FLORIDA. 

Another lazy Saturday, what I am I to do?

Well let's play the lottery!

Guess what?

About 70% of the United States plays the Mega Millions and Powerball. It happens especially when the jackpots cross over $200 million. I know that I'm not going to win the lottery but I'm willing to take a risk at least to feel like a winner!

The Powerball jackpot is over half a billion dollars. It's likely going to be over $800 million by jackpot tonight. The jackpot continues to rise without notice and now that California joined the Powerball (and Florida joining Mega Millions), the odds are even more greater than the amount of cash we spend to play.

You're odds are 1:175. That's 175 million in other words.

That's about the odds of being the U.S. President.

That's about the odds of being in a lightening strike or being stuck in a elevator with a person who smells really bad.

In 45 states with the District of Columbia and U.S. Virgin Islands play the Mega Millions and Powerball.

A lot of middle class Americans flock to the convenience store to play the lottery when jackpots reach a record amount.

With the huge jackpot such as this Powerball drawing, many Americans are dreaming of a life away from the job. A dream to take a vacation to a place they've always wanted to go.

The impact of being a millionaire comes with a price. You could blow money fast in a few years. Believe me there have been many Americans who lavish in luxury only to be broke in less than 10 years.

Of course, if you're the lucky one. You already know that many friends and family members will be on your case. You will be bothered by almost everyone in the junk food media.

Believe me I am a single man and I bet you my former friends, girlfriends and family members I don't speak to will come out of the woodwork. They'll act like everything is cool and I am all giving!

Say if you're in the group pool. If you're in the pool and your group won, that one person who didn't play will try to sue the group for a portion of the earnings.

Hey, if you're a single person (not married), you'll be getting requests from suitors. Of course, if you're separated from your spouse or have children, expect the domestic family courts to take a lump out of your winnings.

The IRS and state taxes will be paid immediately upon the victory.

It may take up to a year before you collect the first lump sum of payment. Each winning Mega Millions and Powerball ticket carries a lump sum cash payment option.

The Powerball White Ball numbers 1 to 59 and the Powerball numbers 1 to 35.

Earlier this year, North Carolina Republicans were trying to pass legislation to prevent citizens who are on income assistance from playing the lottery.

Last year a young woman named Amanda Clayton won the Michigan Lottery and was on public assistance.

She ended up dying of a drug overdose according to news sources.

Best advice for all who win the lottery, is keep a cool head.

The first thing you do is write your name down on the back of the winning ticket. Say if you lose the jackpot ticket! If you have forgotten to sign the ticket and it gets lost, then it's your word against the winner's.

Second, make sure you cancel out your Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or any other social networking website your on. That's the next thing that happens when you're a winner.

Third, you cancel your phone number and limit your email intake. Obviously you'll be swamped with phone numbers and well wishers asking if you're willing to shelve out a little cash.

Fourth, hire a qualified lottery attorney. Make sure you have a qualified attorney who specializes in handling large sums of money. Don't assume every attorney is well respected in handling your financial earnings.

Fifth, don't quit a job until you are sure you've won the lottery. Don't rush to judgment about being a lottery winner. Sometimes a person who wins the lottery never expects it to happen so don't sit around the house hoping the day will come you'll be the millionaire.

Sixth, pay off debts to college loans, house, billings, and credit cards.

Seventh, invest your money in a trust fund if you have children or family members you can trust if you should die.

Eighth, have fun with your earnings. Don't blow it on things that obviously will attract negative attention.

Ninth, be humble. Cause money will change a person when they're rich.

Lastly, The Have-Nots Will Always Try To Make You Feel Guilty About Winning. Ignore Them And Be Happy About Your Success.
