Shake And Bake!

President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) are going to square off on the budget again.

While overseas, the president is handed more news that makes him feel like going to need a pack of smokes.

The unemployment numbers, once again, modest job growth and a lower number. Good enough for the president. Bad enough for the agitators to whine about the "weak" job market.

The Department of Labor reports that 169,000 jobs were added for the month of August. The job market seems to be cooling off because this is still not enough jobs according to the agitators of the junk food media.

The unemployment rate did, however, drop to 7.3%, but that's basically just due to continued exodus from the workforce.

The participation rate fell to 63.2% from 63.4%.

This Do NOTHING Congress has spent a portion of the session repealing Obamacare. They've spent a portion of their time trying to push the button on destroying the economy. There's another budget battle looming and Republicans are going to push this cut everything theme.

The drop in unemployment was due largely to people giving up looking for work, which takes them out of the official labor force, so they're no longer counted as unemployed.

BLS revised June and July payroll numbers significantly lower, erasing 74,000 jobs from the books. Based on the new data, the economy has added just 148,000 jobs per month in the past three months, down from a pace of 207,000 jobs per month in the first three months of the year. At the current rate, job growth is just barely enough to keep up with population growth and keep unemployment from rising.

President Barack Obama can't get nothing done with the constant irritation from the leaders of Congress. House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) and Minority Leaders Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) and Nancy Pelosi (D-California) constantly piss the president off with their ongoing bickering and delaying of his policies.

The economy has added 6.8 million jobs since the labor market bottomed in February 2010. But it is still about 1.9 million jobs shy of its peak in January 2008, in what has been the slowest job-market recovery since World War II.

Friday's report comes just days ahead of a Federal Reserve policy meeting, at which Ben Bernanke & Co. have announced that they plan to start "tapering" an unusual stimulus program. The Fed has been buying $85 billion per month in bonds for the past several months to help keep interest rates low and boost the economy. But in May, Bernanke and other Fed officials started warning the market they intended to slow down the pace of their bond buying.

Financial markets, particularly the bond market, have been shaken by the Fed's plan. The interest rate on the 10-year Treasury note, a benchmark for borrowing throughout the economy, has nearly doubled, to 3 percent on Thursday from 1.6 percent in the spring. That has driven mortgage rates higher and cooled a housing market that had been one of the bright spots of the economy.

The relatively weak August jobs report might inspire the Fed to be a little more cautious about tightening policy, so financial markets had a seemingly perverse reaction to downbeat economic data: Stock and bond prices both rose on Friday morning, in hopes the Fed would have mercy.

Poker Face!

Republican senator John McCain caught playing online poker during serious talks over a strike in the Middle Eastern country of Syria.

Republican senator John McCain from Arizona is an idiot. The former Republican presidential nominee in 2008 continues to show his disrespect of President Barack Obama and his constituents.

The old fool was playing on his iPhone while in a crucial meeting over a potential strike in Syria.

Again, as I gather my thoughts together on the Syria controversy, I want to make a point. 

Senator John McCain (R-Arizona), Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Senator Lindsay Graham (R-South Carolina), Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida) sure love to be on camera alot these days. I mean how many freaking times I've heard their names be dropped through the junk food media.

The wasn't the last time McCain was caught doing something stupid. He was sleeping during the State of The Union address. 

I mean he even went as far to say that President Barack Obama is a better candidate than that perennial loser Mitt Romney. An error that was covered by the junk food media before he realized he was "wrong" in his statement.

I can't stomach listening to these arm chair warriors bitch and bemoan President Barack Obama. 

The president can't get nothing done with this ridiculous Congress. Even a possibility of the president being denied a congressional vote on certification war is looming. Congress and the president's job approval is low.

The Republicans can't stand President Barack Obama. No matter what he does, they'll complain or stall his policies. They're playing to their extremist wing of their party. These fools want to ruin the legacy of the country's first Black president.

McCain lost the election because of things like this.

This looming showdown in Syria is catching the attention of the world. Our credibility was ruined by our country's fool hardy rush to Afghanistan and then Iraq. 

The country is facing economic turmoils and many Americans rather see us do good here at home.

We all agree that the atrocities being done by the Syrians is terrible and a need to do something should happen. 

Should the United States be allowed to strike Syria? 

There's no good or evil in a war. Only dead bodies and lots of destruction.

Zimmerman In Trouble Again!

An officer films acquitted shooter George Zimmerman during a police stop.

Like I've said, George Zimmerman better keep a low profile.

The most hated man in America is a target. And despite his life being forever watching his shoulder, he's entitled to do whatever he wants. But again, the boys in blue continue to catch him doing things that usually land people in the iron collage.

That idiot continues to be in the news. Instead of being some bitch in the iron college, this asshole got his freedom. He killed unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin. He was found not guilty and he walked out wearing his suit (not his hoodie).

It set off a broad landscape of issues involving racial profiling, gun laws and the U.S. justice system.

He was in Florida when he was stopped by a police officer. He was traveling 60 mph in a 45 mph zone.

He couldn't escape a ticket this time. According to the junk food media, he was issued a fine for this.

Yeah, it's been over a month since he was acquitted of the shooting. A nation watched this man avoid the iron college after he shot the unarmed teen. He claims it was self-defense.

Shellie Zimmerman pleas guilty to perjury. She also filling divorce from her husband George Zimmerman.

There were stories of him coming to the aid of injured motorist. A police stop in Texas where he was speeding and was carrying a firearm in the compartment. And two weeks ago, he was at the gun manufacturer that made the firearm that killed Trayvon Martin. Even his attorney Mark O'Mara wanted the state of Florida to pay for his court cost. Zimmerman plans on filing a lawsuit against Obama News for defamation of character.

George Zimmerman's father Robert wrote an ebook about the case calling the NAACP, President Barack Obama and Al Sharpton "race hucksters" and the media "scum" for smearing his son. His brother Robert, Jr. made offensive post on the social networks about Black youth. His "unofficial" spokesperson Frank Taaffe was on the news channels and a White extremist radio show making disparaging comments about Trayvon Martin and throwing his two cents into the Chris Lane murder. Each individual tried to paint Trayvon Martin as a "thug" and "hoodlum" who would end up killing people like Chris Lane.

Also his woes continue. His wife Shellie is dumping him.

After pleading guilty to perjury for lying about their finances, the wife of George Zimmerman is apparently filing for divorce from him.

ABC News claims that Shellie wasn't getting support in her case. As she was sentenced to three years probation and a fine, hubby wasn't no where in court.

Apparently there was trouble at home before the February 2012 shooting. But that's just hearsay.

All you know is that's not important. What's important is that you vote in the next election.

We must show state and federal lawmakers that these "Stand Your Ground" laws are legal murder.

The Klan Meets The NAACP!

A picture worth a thousand words. A member of the NAACP and a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Now I've seen everything!

Dinner with frenemies?

Nah, a civil rights group and a extremist group make a temporary truce.

Really?

I don't believe that one. But according to the junk food media, it's true. And it happened.

In the 96% WHITE majority state of Wyoming, a local chapter of the NAACP out of Casper secretly meets up with some of the members of the White supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan.

The Associated Press reports that a representative of the Wyoming chapter of the NAACP and a Ku Klux Klan organizer ended with the Klan organizer paying $50 to join the civil rights organization, participants said.

Saturday's meeting between Jimmy Simmons, president of the Casper NAACP, and John Abarr, a KKK organizer from Great Falls, Mont., took place at a hotel in Casper, Wyo., under tight security, the Casper Star-Tribune reported.

The Southern Poverty Law Center and the United Klans of America said Tuesday that the meeting was a first.

Abarr told The Associated Press on Tuesday he filled out an NAACP membership form so he could get the group's newsletters and some insight into its views. He said he paid a $30 fee to join, plus a $20 donation.

Simmons said he asked for the meeting after receiving reports that KKK literature was being distributed in Gillette, about 130 miles north of Casper, and to discuss race relations, including what he said were reported beatings of African-American men. He did not provide details.

Abarr said he knew nothing about hate crimes or the literature, which was distributed in a residential neighborhood of Gillette in October.

Gillette police Lt. Chuck Deaton said there have been 10 hate or bias crimes reported in the past five years that involved name-calling but no assaults on African-Americans. Deaton said police also were unable to speak with a young man distributing the literature, and he was chased away by neighbors.

"In the 21 years that I've been here, that's the first I heard of the Klan in Gillette," Deaton said.

This is like a Dave Chappelle joke.

Eric Wingerter, a spokesman for the NAACP's national headquarters, told the Star-Tribune that local chapter leaders aren't required to get permission to arrange meetings.

United Klans of America imperial wizard Bradley Jenkins of Birmingham, Ala., said in a telephone interview that he sanctioned the meeting and called it a first between the KKK and the NAACP, the nation's oldest civil rights organization.

"I don't know if we accomplished too much," Abarr said. "We're not about violence. We're about being proud to be white."

Mark Potok, a senior fellow at the Southern Poverty Law Center, said there have been meetings between white and African-American groups, but none between the NAACP and the KKK.

He called the United Klans of America a "copycat wannabe" group that's not the group responsible for violence during the civil rights movement of the 1960s, including the deaths of four girls at a Baptist church in Birmingham. The original UKA was dismantled in the 1980s following a lawsuit by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

"I think it's outrageous and counterproductive," Potok said of the Wyoming meeting. "It gives legitimacy to the Klan as an organization you can talk to."

Simmons insisted the meeting was worth it.

"It's about opening dialogue with a group that claims they're trying to reform themselves from violence," Simmons said. "They're trying to shed that violent skin, but it seems like they're just changing the packaging."

Ghetto Tracker!

Stock photo of a White family surrounds the Ghetto Tracker digital application. The application stirred the internet with its blatant admission of racism.

The controversy surrounding a digital app that tells those god-fearing White people that the "hood" is no place for you to be. Once again pimping outrage over some asshole's digital bigotry.

Obviously he wanted to bring White folks up to date on the situation of the Black neighborhoods.

We're no saints. I live in a freaking area where you got people crossing in the middle of a busy road instead of walking within 400 feet of a crosswalk. I live in an area where you may see a gas station that has no healthy foods for its customers. I live in an area where there's no grocery store and it's considered a food desert because there's no fresh (naturally grown) vegetables or fruit. I live in area where gun shootings are rising and lawmakers aren't putting one foot forward to passing reasonable gun control.

Did I mention my state representatives are Republican and my local U.S. Congressman is a Republican?

Did I mention my city is ran by an independent who ran as a Republican?

Did I mention my state is ran by a Republican?

So if you want to say it's a Democrat Plantation, fine. Say whatever you want, but as far as it goes, it's not a Republican or Democrat problem, it's an American problem.

Income inequality and redlining put us in the situation we're in. It's not worth explaining to those who are two feet in the manure over social injustice.

All I know is that President Barack Obama is trying to get things done but he's dealing with one of the worst legislative bodies in the history of the country. It's controlled by Republicans in the House of Representatives and the Democrats in the Senate. Neither have passed much other than an increase in their salaries. They've taken more vacations than I have. And I earned most of my paid time off.

The freedom of speech allows individuals to create a mapping device devoted to saying that "one area" is either too "ghetto" or in other words "a NIGGER's paradise!"

You happen to notice that this stuff came right after President Barack Obama won reelection.

Now that its out in the open, I am guessing that someone will create "MY RACIST WHITE FRIEND" just to piss off those conservative agitators in the junk food media.

1. Beta Ghetto Tracker

   ghettotracker.com/‎
   

   
   

   This site is gone. It's not worth the trouble.

Aw shoot! I was going to find out how this piece worked? I am guessing it was a mapping device that tracks an area where a White person felt threatened. They log on to Ghetto Tracker and pinpoint that area.

Say if they're lost off the main road and turn onto let's say Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. Then they see the local gas station and there's either a bulletproof glass covering the counter or a local liquor store within two blocks of each other. The person logs to Ghetto Tacker and there you have it.

So I guess the trouble is the social networks getting a hold of the creator's personal accounts.

Here's my favorite hangout besides Journal de la Reyna. I have to thank the guy who created Public Shaming, a blog featured on Tumblr. It collects the most outrageous and outright racist themes from those who uses the social networks to attack a group. It's a counter-balance to that Turd Flipper's Twitchy website.

That along with AddictingInfo and I have my day's worth of media sanity!

Obtained from Public Shaming.



Real laugh riot! A business that has bulletproof glass (riot shield). That's when you know you're "ghetto"!



So you see a little back tail of two Black men! So what? They want to flaunt their asses out! That's ghetto!



A couple of children take a photo of them being in a trash can full of water. Can't afford the $100 membership fee for the YMCA. Someone wanted to post it to the family to show how they could fill a trash can full of young Black children. I guess that's "ghetto" too!



Watermelon flavored Oreos, a spinning rim on the grave of a deceased person, Lil' Wayne and that character Donnie from The Wild Thornberrys. I am assuming that's ghetto.



A mirror literally glued to the side of vehicle. I mean how ghetto is that?

Like	1,614 people like this.

Wow, over 1,600 people like this website.

We Black folk need to learn how to ignore these assholes. This asshole isn't worth a keystroke.

The website tried to clean up the act by calling it Good Part of Town.

Now a good part of town.

Don't let that fool you! That's a stock photo of a Black family.

Gawker reports that GhettoTracker's "ghettos" aren't identified based on mugging statistics or murder rates—or any hard data at all, really. Instead, "ghettos" are determined by the site's users and delineated by their prejudices. It's a new, crowd-sourced twist on stop-and-frisk: Just drop a little red dot anywhere you think upstanding folks should stop-and-avoid.

But the racist and classist implications of the site were lost on its creator. Yesterday afternoon, he relaunched GhettoTracker as "Good Part of Town," and shuffled the deck of stock photos to include Black and Latino families, as if that made it better. The Twitter and Facebook accounts for GhettoTracker have also been deleted. Although not before someone screengrabbed GhettoTracker sharing an article about "ghetto booty" on Facebook.

Back pain gave this woman a ghetto booty!

GhettoTracker founder Casey Smith is the president of a Florida-based company named Tallahassee Web Design, citing a link—later deleted, but visible in the cached version—to the company.

In response to questions from Gawker, citing "borderline threatening responses" to his innocent plan to literally ghettotize entire neighborhoods, the website's creator would only identify himself as a man who is, "30 something and based in Tallahassee, Florida."

Recently, the startup sector has also become enamored with the idea of apps that can police the streets (like, say, a neighborhood watch). On PandoDaily—which yesterday called Ghettotracker "the worst site on the Internet"—founder and editor-in-chief Sarah Lacy has argued that citizen-reported crime in the "very urban neighborhood" where she lives is the "killer feature" behind the social network Nextdoor, which has raised $40 million.

What's your thoughts on "GHETTO TRACKER"?

Conservative Outrage Over Obama's Foot On His Desk!

Seriously, this is what conservatives are outraged about.

As I gather my thoughts together on the looming potential for military force in the Syrian civil war, I want to tell you about the stupid things conservatives waste their time on.

I'm listening to The Bill Press Show and I am hearing the liberal agitator Bill Press talk about the latest phony outrage by the conservative agitators in the junk food media.

The president puts his foot on the presidential desk while on the phone with Republican Congressman John Boehner of Ohio, the Speaker of The House. It's created another "controversy" for the embattled president.

The racist right thinks it's unbecoming of a leader to put his foot on the desk. Some had word vomited their outrage over this situation.

It was posted on That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall's website again. So you already know the extremists are out and about.

This Obama Derangement Syndrome is so severe it's almost embarrassing. Erick Erickson had it right on this overreaction to everything the president does.

In his RedState personal editorial Erickson stated that: [They're] outrage pimps on both sides of the aisle whipping the respective bases into a frenzy and fury against the other side. I don’t have enough time or energy to be outraged about it all. There are things to be outraged by, but not everything, and certainly not with full energy dedicated to every perceived slight and grievance.

Outrage pimping.

Erickson added that outrage pimping among conservatives isn't helpful. He said that there is too much outrage, piss, and vinegar. He basically saying that is stuff is furthering their chances at winning. He believes that conservatives are becoming humorless. A bunch angry WHITE EXTREMISTS instead of happy warriors willing to selling better ideas. He's right they're not even selling ideas, they're selling ignorance masquerading as patriotism.

Yeah, Erick Erickson is right. Conservatives, frankly, have become purveyors of outrage instead of preachers for a cause. Instead of showing how increasing government harms people, how free markets help people, and how conservative policies benefit all Americans, they're bitching about "birth certificates", "Benghazi", "Obama Phones", "vacations" and "Fast & Furious."

Let's not forget "Trayvon Martin", "Obama prayers", "Obama flags", "Obama tattoos", "I Love Obama bumper stickers", and every other ridiculous thing conservatives whined about.

Erickson said the conservatives agitators are professional victims dialed up to 10 on the outrage meter. Who the hell wants to listen to conservatives whining and moaning all the time about the outrage du jour?

Seriously? Mitt Romney ran a campaign on just how bad things are, but he was rejected by a majority of Americans who felt like he really did not care about them and really had no plans to improve their lives.

The Daily Mail once again tells it like it is. They report that it's another ho, hum, sigh!

Basically, The Mail is saying: Conservatives, George W. Bush done it! Where's your outrage over that?

Of course, you can't mention Bush to the conservatives. They don't accept that as an excuse anymore.

They're only accepting blame cards for Obama, Clinton and Carter. Bush and Reagan are off limits.

That's probably why it's necessary to keep watching them outrage over things like this. This stuff makes conservatives look like the racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, condescending, assholes the liberals point them out to be.

REPUBLICANS: WHEN WILL YOU MOVE PAST RUSH LIMBAUGH, THE DRUDGE REPORT THE BLAZE, WORLD NET DAILY AND FOX NEWS?

Ariel Castro Commits Suicide In The Iron College!

Convicted rapist killed himself in the iron college.

Breaking out of Columbus, Ohio. Overnight, the Cleveland kidnapper and rapist Ariel Castro puts the bed sheets over a rail and hung himself. This scumbag decided he didn't want to be a wife to some guy named Jim.

Castro was convicted of raping and kidnapping Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight and held the women for 10 years in his home. He was sentenced to life at the iron college.

Amanda Berry and her child managed to escape the situation and tipped the police off to the man.

Castro fathered a child with Berry.

Castro abused and raped the woman causing them to have miscarriages.

When he was arrested, he apparently left a suicide note in his home in case he was to be caught. The Cuyahoga County Jail had him on suicide watch at the time.

He was at the Orient Lockup near Columbus when the guards found him unresponsive. They rush him to the Ohio State University Hospital where the pronounced him dead,

He died at 10:00pm. Tuesday.

As he was convicted of his charges, he faced the victim Michelle Knight.

"I cried every night. I was so alone. I worried what would happen to me and the other girls every day," Knight, 32, said, as she addressed her abductor head-on during his sentencing. "I will live on. You will die a little every day."

Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight in April 2013.

He was told that he would have to forfeit his properties and lose his home. It's since been demolished and the neighbors hope Cleveland will make a memorial park.

The women's representatives haven't spoken about the issue.

But the nightmare is over for the three. Back in 2003 and 2004, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus were kidnapped and the local junk food media was covering it. Their stories were pushed aside for the more sensational stories. Natalee Holloway, the Alabama teenager who was missing in Aruba got a lot of attention.

It propelled ambulance chasers Nancy Grace, Greta Van Susteren, Geraldo Rivera and Rita Cosby into the spotlight.

Again, we here at Journal de la Reyna send our prayers to Michelle Knight, Gina DeJesus, and Amanda Berry. The young women and Amanda's young child suffered horrible fate by the hands of this monster.

This monster should have gotten the gas chamber. I guess a bed sheet is good enough for me.

Hopefully, they use his organs will be donated to the hospitals.

Father of the Racist Drug War Harry J. Anslinger

Harry J. Anslinger, the Republican founder of the unjust and unfair drug war

Most people today don't recognize this man above.  His name is Harry J. Anslinger, the unofficial drug czar of the 1930s.  His concern about the drug war is more about the supremacy of the conservative capitalist system and white supremacy than it is about doing something about the actual drug problem itself.  His alliances with big business and racists had made it easy for him to carry out those repressive measures.  His legacy lives on to this day with politicians, left and right, playing on racial, ethnic, and cultural fears and the decline of capitalism in the US today.

Here's a bio of Mr. Harry J. Anslinger from Wikipedia:

Harry Jacob Anslinger (May 20, 1892 – November 14, 1975) held office as the assistant prohibition commissioner in the Bureau of Prohibition, before being appointed as the first commissioner of the U.S. Treasury Department's Federal Bureau of Narcotics (FBN) on August 12, 1930.

Anslinger held office an unprecedented 32 years in his role as commissioner until 1962. He then held office two years as US Representative to the United Nations Narcotics Commission. The responsibilities once held by Anslinger are now largely under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Office of National Drug Control Policy. He died at the age of 83 of heart failure in Altoona, Pennsylvania.  More Anslinger bio

I'll have more on him as soon as possible.  Tell me what you think of this father of  America's drug war?

Rapist Blames Victim For Contracting HIV!

British rapist got slapped with even worse news!

A British man was convicted of raping a woman. He was sentenced to the iron college for his crime. But the real shocker was the man didn't know that his victim was HIV positive.

Now he's devastated over the news and of course our junk food media is pointing the finger and saying "That's what you get!"

I clicked on the Newser story and it linked me to a story straight out of The Daily Mail.

Richard Thomas of Manchester collapsed when police informed him about the woman's medical status and is still waiting to hear if he has contracted the incurable virus.

The court heard he was shocked when he was told and asked to be taken to hospital, Liverpool Crown Court heard.

He had let himself into her home in the middle of the night and she awoke to find him raping her.

'She froze and no words were exchanged. He pulled up his shorts and left,' said Harry Pepper, prosecuting.

'He was arrested and interviewed and said he had been drinking heavily, taken cocaine and ecstasy and could not recall the incident,' he added.

His barrister, Virginia Hayton, said that he still cannot recall the attack but when told about it he said that the woman 'would not lie, she tells the truth. If she says I have done it, I have done it'.

Jailing Thomas for five years and four months Judge Mark Brown said that he had committed 'this dreadful offence' while she lay asleep, having taken a sleeping tablet, and it had left her distressed and anxious.

She said that he started using cannabis at the age of nine, drinking heavily at the age of 11, became addicted to ecstasy and cocaine at 13 and was put in care the following year.

He has been trying to contact his family but they want nothing to do with him and he will now be away from his partner and their young daughter and his two other older daughters from previous relationships.

Miss Hayton told the court that Thomas will not find out the result of his HIV test until Friday and has had the worry of the outcome hanging over him.

'It is his own fault, if he had not committed this offense he would not have placed himself in this position.'

UNDERSTAND THIS: RAPE IS RAPE!

THERE'S NOTHING IS FUNNY ABOUT IT! THERE ARE NO WINNERS IN A HORRIBLE CRIME!

The Corrupt Mayors Of M.I.A.!

Michael Pizzi

Federal time out is coming for three Florida mayors. The Miami suburbs of Homestead, Miami Lakes and Sweetwater are going to have a replacement.

I am guessing they're Democrats because the Miami Herald hasn't acknowledged the political affiliations.

The FBI and Florida law officials grabbed the mayors and their lobbyist friends for corruption.

Steve Bateman, the mayor of Homestead, was arrested for allegedly receiving payments from a health care chain looking to build a clinic in the town. He joins Miami Lakes Mayor Michael Pizzi and Sweetwater Mayor Manuel Marono, who were both arrested in early August for allegedly taking part in separate kickback and bribery schemes connected with federal grants.

The Miami Herald reports that along with Bateman, the suspended mayors of Miami Lakes and Sweetwater, along with a pair of lobbyists, obtained delays of their indictments on federal kickback charges Tuesday.

Former Miami Lakes Mayor Michael Pizzi, one-time Sweetwater Mayor Manuel Maroño, and lobbyists Richard Candia and Jorge Forte will now have their arraignments on Sept. 20.

Magistrate Judge Barry Garber granted their motions to waive indictments and speedy trials.

The preliminary strategy suggests that some of the defendants might be interested in negotiating plea deals rather than face indictments and jury trials. Others might be trying to persuade the U.S. attorney’s office to dismiss their cases before presenting evidence to a grand jury.

Outside the Miami federal courthouse, Pizzi was the only defendant to speak to reporters, saying he was the “victim” of an FBI sting operation and that he only acted in the “best interest” of his city.

“I was a good mayor and a good attorney and I have God on my side,” said Pizzi, who until last week had worked as the town attorney in Medley as well. “And, I expect to be fully exonerated.... I did absolutely nothing wrong”

Manuel Maroño

All four men were arrested earlier this month on complaints charging they conspired to extort thousands of dollars in exchange for politically supporting “bogus” federal grant applications that were only meant to line their pockets. FBI undercover agents posing as crooked Chicago businessmen roped them in with promises of easy federal money if they pushed for the community grant applications.

Pizzi and Candia were charged in one case. Candia was also charged with Maroño and Forte in another case.

The two corruption cases, which started with a confidential tip to the FBI in 2011, were remarkable even by South Florida’s standards, because the crackdown snared two municipal mayors and two lobbyists on the same day. Attempts to take down other public officials in the same sting were unsuccessful because they wouldn’t bite.

Steve Bateman.

On Aug. 6, FBI agents arrested Pizzi, 51, and Maroño, 41, at their town hall offices on charges of conspiring to commit extortion in their roles as elected officials between 2011 and 2013. Pizzi also was charged with the same misconduct linked to a purported federal grant for Medley, where he was the town attorney.

Pizzi’s bond was set at $100,000; Maroño’s, at $250,000. Both were ordered by Magistrate Judge Andrea Simonton not to contact dozens of other politicians, officials or lobbyists who are potential witnesses.

The Miami skyline at sunset.

Also arrested were lobbyists Forte, 41, the former chief of staff for Maroño in Sweetwater, and Candia, 49, a former lobbyist with the Becker & Poliakoff law firm who began cooperating with the FBI after agents approached him in late June. Each lobbyist received a $100,000 bond.

Maroño is accused of working with both lobbyists to break the law. Maroño and Forte allegedly received $40,000 for their parts in the federal grant scheme in Sweetwater and an additional $20,000 for making introductions to other public officials on behalf of undercover FBI agents posing as the Chicago businessmen.

Candia allegedly received at least $5,000 in kickbacks for the Sweetwater deal. He did not get any money relating to the Medley or Miami Lakes grant deals.

The undercover agents used Candia to approach Maroño and Pizzi, pitching them on the idea of cashing in by using the fictitious Chicago grant business, Sunshine Universal, to tap into an actual government agency, AmeriCorps, which issues community grants for economic development.

Pizzi allegedly received $6,750 in cash and campaign checks for pushing the purported grant deals in Miami Lakes and Medley.

Molly Breaks Hearts, Literally!

Hello Molly!

The controversy surrounding a deadly club drug. The entertainment industry is getting the blame for programming the stans into taking the powerful drug. The drug is literally killing some who ingest this along with other narcotics. MDMA is an empathogenic drug of the phenethylamine and amphetamine classes of drugs. MDMA has become widely known as "ecstasy", usually referring to its street pill form, although this term may also include the presence of possible adulterants.

The Electric Zoo Festival also known as E-Zoo is an annual electronic music festival held over Labor Day weekend in New York City on Randall's Island Park. The festival represents all genres of electronic music, bringing top international DJs and live acts from multiple countries along with hometown favorites to four stages. Time Out New York cited Electric Zoo as the festival that "transforms Randall's Island into an Ibiza on the East River every Labor Day"

The 2013 Electric Zoo was cut short after two people died after ingesting the powerful drug.

The final day, Sunday, September 1 was cancelled.  There were four more hospitalized in critical condition, possibly having to be linked to MDMA (or Ecstasy).

The founders of the event, Made Event, announced on the last day of Electric Zoo, that "The founders of Electric Zoo send our deepest condolences to the families of the two people who passed away this weekend. Because there is nothing more important to us than our patrons, we have decided in consultation with the New York City Parks Department that there will be no show today." They also later announced that Made Event will give refunds to the people who has tickets to any Electric-Zoo Concerts on September 1.

Syracuse University grad Jeffrey Russ, 23, of Rochester, and Olivia Rotondo, 20, a University of New Hampshire student from North Providence, Rhode Island, both died.

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

Atlanta rapper Future openly endorses his stans to try "Molly".

The junk food media is quick to point to Kanye West, Lil' Wayne and twerker Miley Cyrus.

Cyrus, 20 is proud to be a declaration. Her name is dropped in some of the rapper's verses when it comes to that drug.

Wondering how long will it take before Bill-O makes a story about how evil the entertainers are?

Urban Dictionary describes Molly as a pure form of MDMA (ecstasy), usually a free powder or in capsules.

The appearance of this drug is typically white in color. Beige or yellowish color indicates that the drug is not the purest... it's been stepped on.

The entertainment industry say that it's a way to "turn-up."

Esctacy pills.

Their stans are engaging in consuming a molly because this pill makes them high and party. It is an energy booster.

Urban Dictionary says, while the molly is fresh in these stupid people's body- they feel great however, once they come off of their high, they typically experience boredom in more extreme ways than smarter individuals who did not engage in this drug consumption. Another side effect of this drug is sweating an abnormal more than usual.

Rappers typically refer to the consumption of this drug by stating "pop tha molly."

Let's go down the list of future obituaries who openly engage in the drug.

Trinidad James, a Southern based rapper who appears on Gold Gang Records and Def Jam.
Future, a Southern based rapper who appears on A1/Freebandz and Epic Records.
Tyga, a West Coast rapper who appears on Young Money Entertainment/Cash Money Records.

Pimp C passed away in 2007 after drinking a combination of Molly and Lean (Dirty Sprite).
Amy Winhouse passed away in 2011 after using numerous drugs.

CNN reports the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) calls Molly a powder or crystal form of MDMA -- or 3, 4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine.

Its a Schedule 1 controlled substance, considered to have a high potential for abuse and no accepted use in medical treatment, which means it's illegal.

This year, molly was abundant at music festivals -- if you knew where to look. At Miami's Ultra Music Festival, fliers littered the landscape mentioning her name like missing child posters: "Have you seen molly?" And when Madonna took to the stage to introduce an artist, the pop star asked the audience: "How many people in this crowd have seen molly?" A slew of cheers answered, though Madonna later said she'd been referring to a song, not to an illegal drug.

Hip-hop artists claim they know her -- she's casually mentioned by 2 Chainz in the Nicki Minaj track "Beez In the Trap," by Childish Gambino in his song "Unnecessary," by Kanye West in "Mercy," by Danny Brown in "Die Like a Rockstar."

Trinidad James is a rapper who admits using Molly.

It seems the drug is on the minds of many. But questions about who -- or what -- molly really is remain.

MDMA acts as a stimulant and a psychedelic, according to the DEA. After being inhaled, eaten or parachuted -- folded into a tissue and swallowed -- molly ushers in euphoria. It floods users' brains with neurotransmitters serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine, making them feel elated, empathic and full of energy.

MDMA first found popularity in the form of Ecstasy as the drug of choice among ravers at underground nightclubs in the early 1990s. But when questions arose over the purity of Ecstasy --- the drug was often mixed with other ingredients ---- people turned their attention to a purer form, said Nathan Messer, board president of the nonprofit organization DanceSafe, which promotes health and safety within the nightclub community.

Some consider the name picked for this white powder a clever marketing strategy: "Molly" carries both the innocent appeal of the girl next door and the implication that the drug is always pure MDMA. But because the chemical makeup of molly is often altered, taking the drug is dangerous, DEA spokesman Rusty Payne said.

"(Suppliers) are making it look like something that is safe and easy to take, but in many cases, you're playing Russian roulette," Payne said.

And although MDMA tastes, smells and affects you differently than other drugs would, without having experience with each molly variation, there's no easy way to tell if the substance you take is pure, Messer said. But even as its pure form molly, MDMA can be dangerous.

The 2013 MTV Video Music Awards caused a bit of controversy. Entertainer Miley Cyrus, a former child star was "twerking" on singer Robin Thicke. The entertainment news agitators are shocked and applauded by her performance. Was she on Molly?

The DEA sees MDMA supplied from Asia, Canada, even the Netherlands.

"You have no idea the lab environment these chemicals or substances were produced in," Payne said. "If they knew where things were produced, they might think twice."

There is now greater permissiveness and lax attitudes toward drugs such as marijuana, so people move on to other substances, such as molly, and give themselves permission to use them, Anderson said.

"We are moving into a post-war on drugs era. We're seeing a softening of drug laws and a softening against drugs, especially among young people."

For now, the DEA is more focused on fighting the abuse of prescription medications such as Oxycontin and Valium. But as admirers plaster posters at concerts asking, "Have you seen molly?" officials can only hope she stays missing.

One thing about rapper Kendrick Lamar, he's not like these idiots. The reason why the rapper dropped that diss on the entertainers was to tell them, "y'all are fucking the rap game up with this stupid shit you're doin'!"

Future, the Atlanta based rapper wrote a song about taking Molly and drinking Lean (Dirty Sprite/Sizzurp).

Basically he's rapping about a combination of cocaine, dirty Sprite (codeine, Sprite, Jolly Ranchers, xanax, and valium). He said that "he doesn't mind if his heart stops!"

Juicy J's Twerk Scholarship Draws Ire From Women's Groups!

Entertainer faces ire of women for "twerk" scholarship offer.

If you can work that behind, you may get a scholarship from entertainer Juicy J. And of course, you may also get the shame of women's right groups.

Black America Web reports that the entertainer is offering $50,000 for the best twerk. Yeah, he's serious about that.

Here's the entertainer speaking about it.



Some women's groups are upset over this. Two Black extremists aren't happy about it and are calling for a boycott of his album.

Seeka tha Teacha, head of the Hip Hop Liberation Army along with colleagues Abena Afreeka and Sis Tricey are too pissed off and are calling for a boycott of the rapper’s CD. Appearing on the weekly rap program, “Militant Minded Radio,” they presented a lively discussion on this display of what can be called a byproduct of misogynistic thinking. We ask for your forgiveness in advance as the speaker’s did not identify themselves so we had to play a guessing game.

“There’s no honor in getting a scholarship for shaking your behind….I think its degrading,” says one of the women we think may be Seeka Tha Teacha, a mother. “Why would you want to get a scholarship for that when there’s a lot of intelligent women out here who use their brain. Why don’t you give them some money,” she continues, adding that she would never want her daughter doing anything like that.

“I know Juicy J [is] probably sittin’ back laughing at all the women that’s gonna come and shake they ass for this money. It’s all a game,” she continues.

“I think that this contest is only symptomatic, and that any discussion about this that ignores the larger picture of the systematic sexploitation, objectification of Black women is basically an incomplete discussion,” says Sis Tricey. She equates Juicy J to someone who is “embracing that cooning buck,” a brother who will promote “the exploitation of himself, his sisters and brothers” for money.

“You can think of the situation…when the 12-year-old sits up and tells his math teacher, ‘I make more in a day then you make in a whole year,” she concludes.

Wiz Khalifa is a fan of Three Six Mafia. The rapper worked with Juicy J and signed him to Taylor Gang Records. The rapper even named Juicy J as the godfather of his son. He and model Amber Rose welcomed a child this year. 

And apparently, the scholarship is only the beginning; a CD is set to follow.

“Is this going to be a trend?” Sis Tricey suggests adding a truly frightening scenario. “Are we going to have more rappers throwing in and saying ‘hey, we’re doing some positive things for the school.’ How many sisters will even want to continue to go to school once they get a taste of that.”

Abeena Afreeka states, ”As women, for starters, I believe it is imperative for us to come out in strong opposition to the CD, to the message, and begin to actively get in the ears of our young sisteren.” She invites not only women, but men as well, to join in with this support against the degradation of Black women; by boycotting the Juicy J CD and the message behind it.

The freedom of speech again comes into play. Remember we're living in the post Sandra Fluke era.

Many entertainers are getting the finger wagging too. Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, Lil' Wayne, The Game and 50 Cent are examples of entertainers who lost their deals after saying or doing things that caused women's groups to boycott the companies.

Conservative agitators aren't spared the wrath either.

Remember that King Hippo (Rush Limbaugh) called the activist a "slut" and drew ire of women's groups. His antics lead to a lost of sponsors and a strain in his relationship with Clear Channel and Cumulus Radio.

We can expect that Juicy J will be the talk of conservative agitators in the coming days. After all, if shit is posted on the wall, then it's the turd flippers who ready to rally.

Well anyways, the rapper has a lot to celebrate. He's a veteran in the hip-hop game and yes it's a big comeback. He's a part of the pop culture.

Three Six Mafia (Juicy J, DJ Paul and Lord Infamous) won an Oscar for their contributions to Hustle & Flow.

I most recognized him as a member of the Three 6 Mafia. He and DJ Paul were childhood friends and would later form the group. Formed in 1991 as the Backyard Posse and then Triple 6 Maifa, DJ Paul, Lord Infamous, Juicy J and Koopsta Knicca, the group later included two more members including; Crunchy Black and Gangsta Boo (who were both added shortly before the release of their debut album Mystic Stylez).

The group has also collaborated with many rappers on their own label; Hypnotize Minds, where they have kick started the careers for many Memphis rappers, such as; Frayser Boy, Gangsta Blac, Lil Wyte and Indo G. The group frequently collaborates with Project Pat (Juicy J's older brother).

Their musical style—which initially featured dark, menacing beats with equally gritty lyrics—has since moved to a more mainstream sound (crunk).

The group has also had numerous lineup changes, and now consists of original members Juicy J and DJ Paul. Nonetheless, they have cultivated a sizable and diverse cult following that has only increased since their Oscar win. They have released two RIAA rated platinum albums; When the Smoke Clears: Sixty 6, Sixty 1 and Most Known Unknown, the latter featured their well known single "Stay Fly", which is said to be the kick start of their rise to fame and the mainstream. The group's worldwide album sales stand at 5.5 million.

Although they're still a group, Juicy J wanted to venture past the Mafia.

While on tour he signed on as a solo artist to Wiz Khalifa's Taylor Gang Records and Dr. Luke's Kemosabe Records. After the signing, he announced that he's working on an album. The album is Juicy J's first solo album since distancing himself from Three 6 Mafia and signing to Wiz Khalifa's Taylor Gang Records, who makes three appearances on the album.

He released Bandz a Make Her Dance. It was produced by Mike Will (Made It) and it featured Lil' Wayne and 2 Chainz. The single was a smash hit and it went platinum.

That single welcome the world to Juicy J.

Juicy J's album the highly anticipated Stay Trippy is now out. It's a comeback album release. It's the third album released by the rapper. But it's his first album to get such huge buzz this summer. It was ranked very favorable and is one the most anticipated albums of the year.

Again, hip-hop music sales are declining. In order for entertainers in the music industry to stay relevant, they release EPs and mixtapes. That helps them generate buzz for their albums and helps move them into the mainstream (pop culture).

Did you know that Three 6 Mafia won an Academy Award?

Their 2005 song "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" from the film Hustle and Flow won Best Original Song at the 78th Academy Awards.

They join Eminem as the only rap performers who managed to score an Academy Award win for Best Original Song.

Wiz Khalifa is signed to Atlantic Records. He is affiliated with Taylor Gang Records and Rostrum Records.

Juicy J is signed Sony Music Group. He is affiliated with Taylor Gang Records and Hypnotized Minds, LLC.

LovelyTi2002 elaborates on the controversy and also the Bounce It video from Juicy J.
