BREAKING: Shooting At U.S. Capitol!

Shooting near U.S. Capitol.

We just got word that the DC Police and U.S. Capitol Police have a shooting near the Capitol.

People were caught off guard by this one. Just a moment ago, it was reported by the news agitators that a shooting occurred outside the U.S. Capitol. There is a mandatory lockdown.

President Barack Obama, Mayor Vincent Gray and the Congressional leaders were informed about this one.

This is a developing story. We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to those killed in this tragedy.

Okay, there's been reports of a member of law enforcement injured by a shooting. We have few things that are true. There were injuries. The police are involved. Congress and the White House are informed.

Also anything from this point comes from CNN, Wikipedia, and The Associated Press.

I am getting word this was a result of a police chase that ended up near the U.S. Capitol.

It's alleged a woman tried to run her vehicle into the White House and then the U.S. Capitol.

As a warning was sounded, the House abruptly went into recess and lawmakers left the chamber floor. The Senate also suspended business.

Before the disruption, lawmakers had been trying to find common ground to end a government shutdown. The House had just finished approving legislation aimed at partly lifting the government shutdown by paying National Guard and Reserve members.

People standing outside the Supreme Court across the street from Congress were hurried into the court building by authorities.

The White House was quickly locked down after the incident at Capitol Hill and the stretch of Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the compound was closed to pedestrians. Secret Service said the procedures were precautionary.

Seriously, Drudge!

The conservative agitator splashed on his website another controversial theme. Another racist dog whistle and political landmine for the Republicans to land on. And consider the source of the link. It's Tucker Carlson's (aka Bow Tie Manchild) The The Daily Nothing website.

The Bow Tie Manchild is the weekend host of Loserville & Friends.

This story is bogus. There's nothing but smoke and mirrors. Nothing but a bunch of idiots who waste their time trying to create a controversy where there's none.

I remember the Bow Tie Manchild, That Guy Who Helped Obama Win and That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall going with "The Other Race Speech". It was supposed to be a fiery speech from President Barack Obama. It turned out to be then candidate Barack Obama in 2007 talking about New Orleans post Hurricane Katrina. He made a point about how government let down the people. Yeah, he was then a serious candidate running for president. Not a radical extremist these three bozos tired to make him out to be. Their attack came out a few weeks after perennial loser Mitt Romney sealed his fate with the 47% comments.

The Bow Tie Manchild on Loserville.

Okay here's where the outrage lies. The number is 1-800-FUCKYO. This is a joke, right!

If you have a phone with keypad letters 1, 2 (ABC), 3 (DEF), 4 (GHI), 5 (JKL), 6 (MNO), 7 (PQRS), 8 (TUV), 9 (WXYZ) and 0. Okay 1 and 0 can be used for Q X.

So let me get this straight, it's 1-800-3(F) 8(U) 2(C) 5(K) 9(Y) 6(O). Where's the other number?

All the writer did was take the number 1 out of the full number. And she came up with a little word game.

Katie McHugh

The actual number is 1-800-318-2596.

Two can play this game 1-800 - 3 (D) 8 (U) 2 (C) 5 (K) 9 (Y) 6 (O).

Spells DUCK YO.

Take the F out of the equation and you better duck yo, because you're going to get hit!

King Hippo tells the gullible audience about the "evils" of Obamacare.

Remember that due to the government shutdown and high traffic volume its going to be hard to get through the healthcare marketplace.

The Daily Nothing writer Katie McHugh thinks she's so smart. She thinks she's got a "gotcha moment".

Really, the real gotcha moment is the public turning on the Republicans for their ongoing stalemate with this government shutdown.

They lost at the ballot box. They lost at the court. They lost in court of public opinion. And yet, the Republicans and their allies in the conservative movement continue their ongoing march to destruction.

Katie McHugh, you probably know what most people are going to say about you in a few moments!

So why even said it?

You already get enough of that word in your email box!

A Case Of The Hot Mic!

We're going to win - Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) caught off microphone talking to the Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky). They were off script talking about how they can muster enough support against President Barack Obama. They were figuring out talking points to blame the president for the government shutdown.

Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) is the minority leader of Republicans in the U.S. Senate.

We always knew he was a dirty politician!

He is probably one of the most vulnerable members up for reelection. He's very unpopular in his state. And even though he has a war chest of fundraising, he could still be beaten. McConnell is facing a challenge from a Democrat and a Republican.

Hypothetically it's a considered a "LEAN REPUBLICAN" race. Would that be a sign of the death kneel in the U.S. Senate race?

The latest bullshit from him and the House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) were no compromise on a clean bill. The Republicans want a bill that includes a stalling of the healthcare law, rollback on safety nets and environmental regulations.

He along with "NO ACCOMPLISHMENT" member of the Stallmigos Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) were caught off mic. They were talking out a strategy when they race to the cameras again.

They were trying to pass off a plan to keep them out of the blame game. They were saying that the president is unwilling to work with them. They want to develop a new line of attack against the Democrats and President Barack Obama.

You two better head back to the U.S. Capitol and pass a budget. Stop running to That Guy Who Helped Obama Win and reading that nonsense off That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall.

Do your jobs as elected leaders. Bring jobs to the country. Quit trying to ruin the economy.

Put the government back to work. Stop this fucking around with Obama.

You were elected to serve the people. You don't the healthcare law. Fine. But you better pass a bill that improves it. Because you guys aren't winning the battle.

You guys are getting paid everyday while nearly a million government workers and people on the safety nets suffer.

I am glad that his father lost the Republican primary. Ron Paul would be a horrible president. His son proves that. They both think like this. It's a shame they've proven to the "stans" they're nothing more than establishment politicians who only want to "feed their friends in Washington" instead of the people who they claim "they've looked out for!"

I finally woke up to see the Ron Paul Revolution is nothing more than a farce. It's just a bunch of idiots who think they're "free".

Nothing is free.

Get Your Asses Back To Work!

Instead of being at the U.S. Capitol, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann  (R-Minnesota) and other Republicans run to the World War II memorial with cameras in tow. They go to the memorial blaming the president for not opening up the national parks. Since they're fixated on trying to point fingers, how about we point a finger to the direction of the U.S. Capitol!

As the Republican and Democrat lawmakers run to the cameras with fingers pointing at each other, we're in day three of the government shutdown.

The president demands that Congress pass a clean budget bill. No added features, no repealing of his healthcare law and no piece by piece.

The Congress will continue to figure that one out. It could all be over if the Republican House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio buck his extremist wing of the party. Many political observers slammed the congressman for allowing "no accomplishment" lawmakers (Rand Paul  and Ted Cruz, U.S. Senators of Kentucky and Texas, respectably) take the country into the brink of economic destruction.

Last night, we've heard the people over at Loserville call the shutdown, a "slim down".

We seen the conservative agitators say park rangers are "OBAMA SHOCK TROOPS" because they were ordered to prevent veterans from entering the memorials in Washington.

We seen many Republican lawmakers showboating.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky), House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Virginia), Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin), Marlon Stutzsman (R-Indiana), Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah), Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa), Senator Lindsay Graham (R-South Carolina), Congressman Peter King (R-New York), Senator John McCain (R-Arizona), and Congressman Steve Palazzo (R-Mississippi) were racing to the cameras.

Each lawmaker had fingers pointing at President Barack Obama and Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) for allowing the government to shutdown.

The Stallmigos: Republican Senators Ted Cruz (Texas) and Mike Lee (Utah).

They continue to say that the president isn't working with them. The president tried last night to negotiate a plan but he told Republicans that cuts to safety nets and the healthcare law is off the table. The Republican leaders rejected the idea. And we're back to the finger pointing.

Clearly, the Affordable Healthcare Law is in effect. The Republicans can't stop it anymore.

They're fighting a worthless battle and they'll end up losing.

Yeah, we know that Republican have won in the past elections with the gerrymandering of districts. But since the last election, it seems like this time, it maybe possible for the Democrats to retake the House.

I give Democrats a 34% chance they will take back the House.

I give Republicans a 42% chance they will take the U.S. Senate.

Yeah, President Barack Obama deserves the blame. The president should have tried to make a better outreach on educating the healthcare law. He should have pulled every card out of his deck. Yeah, he could have even used the "race card" against the Republicans.

I mean I know that many Republicans and conservatives can't be satisfied "anything" or "nothing" is going to please them. I hear that from friends, co-workers, and those in the junk food media.

Republicans and their allies in the conservative movement thinks that veterans getting shut out of a memorial and the possible cancellation of the military college football games are bigger than those who work at the federal agencies.

Here's a few questions to you!

Do you know a person who works for the federal government?

Do you feel that your lawmaker let you down or inspired you?

Do you blame the Republicans or the Democrats?

Who's going to blink?

Rough Ridin' On The West Side Highway!

Camera films motorcycle riders beat a man after he ran over one of their riders.

A video that surface on the internet shows a motorcycle group follow a family in a SUV.

The motorcycle group was chasing the family down the famous West Side Highway in New York City.

There were some moments where the group surrounded the vehicle. And there were some parts where the SUV ran over a motorcycle operator and thus to a chase around the West Side Highway. As the driver tried to flee, he was followed by the motorcyclists.  This led to the driver getting beaten in front of his family.

Alexian Lien and wife Rosalyn.

The motorcycle operator, Jeremiah Mieses was badly injured and will not ever walk again.

The driver Alexian Lien was severely beaten and will have to have permanent facial injuries.

The NYPD is trying to figure out who's at fault. Of course since this is on camera, it's a matter of he said or they said.

Somehow it was mentioned that two of the motorcycle operators were charged with felonious assault and unlawful restraint.

But are there charges for the driver who ran over a motorcycle operator?

This story got the news agitators talking.

Have you noticed that the folks over at Loserville, in particular Bill-O been on this "race story" fixation?

And yes even a tabloid rag that usually I rely on for some of our post is even going as far to stereotype this to a race story.

In a crime in which a person is murdered, an actual news journalist would insert the suspect's race and gender if there's no apprehension. But if the suspect was apprehended upon the crime, then they release the name and keep the race and gender out of the subject.

It only gets motivated into a race story when the political agitators see the story and propel it into the spotlight.

That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall is a notorious race baiter who would salivate over stuff like this.

Or Bill-O, he'll blame the entertainment industry or President Barack Obama for this type of incident.

Jeremiah Mieses, critically injured.

Anyway, the man who was beaten was named Alexian Lien and his wife Rosalyn were described as a "wealthy" couple by the New York Daily News.


So they have to be "wealthy" because they're Asian?

The rider was Black (Hispanic origin). So he's a member of the "wild pack of motorcyclists"?

It doesn't matter if they're wealthy or poor. They were victims and suspects.

The suspects were the ones who ran over the motorcycle rider.

The suspects were the one who hit the window of the SUV. The suspects were the ones who injured the driver. The suspects were the ones who followed a person without calling 911 and letting the police handle the matter.

Were the motorcycle riders the instigators or the driver?

And of course the racial extremist say "they would", "they could", or "I should" excuse. They run with this narrative that every person who commits a crime (and the individual is Black or Hispanic), it's another Trayvon Martin (Obama's son) excuse.

The riders slow down and corner the SUV. The driver would later run over three of them.

Again, you never know what happen when you're in a situation. Those who are lucky can escape a possible threat.

See those in law enforcement know the matter of "life and death" and "lawful and unlawful". They are public servants who employed to serve the safety of their communities.

Sometimes I hate to say this. But when I read the comments from the social media, I shake my head in disgust. I think to myself that "you can't fix stupid" and "everyone wants to be a hero!"

See the video and you make the decision for yourself.

This video is disturbing.

Also the owner of the video may claim rights to it. So it might be pulled since he's disabled all links to his video.

Gun Hyphy!

Bullets hit Oakland rapper.

Oakland, California the hometown of rappers Too Short, E-40, Yukmouth and the late Mac Dre.

The hub of hyphy and gang violence.

Amir Ashad, better known by his stage name Kafani is an American rapper from Oakland. He is one half of the Oakland-based rap group Babyface Assassins. He is also signed to Thizz Nation, a subdivision of the late Mac Dre's label Thizz Entertainment.

Kafani gets his "street cred" by being shot. But will he live though it?

There's reports that Kafani was filming a music video when a gunman ambushed him. He was shot five times and is in critical condition. He was injured extremely bad. If he should survive, he may never walk again.

I hope the god this is Photoshop.

The 33-year old rapper was in the midst of a beef with fellow rapper Philthy Rich, and was actually said to be filming a video for a diss track towards the rapper when he was hit.

Police haven't ruled out the possibility of the feud being an element to this shooting.

An unidentified man allegedly told Kafani and his entourage that they could not film at their current location, before proceeding to unload his weapon on the rapper. This happened around 11:39 PM.

Special thanks to Janet Shan of The Hinterland Gazette for the hat tip.

Also HotNewHipHop for the story.

Kafani and his partner Kashmere created the group the Babyface Assassins. Their thirteen-year long friendship developed into the business relationship. This duo has collaborated with some of California’s foremost musicians including Too $hort, Yukmouth, Choppa, Freeway, and Keak da Sneak. After building a name for himself in the streets and with the music industry heavyweights in the Bay Area, Kafani was looking for a way to break through on a major level. The Oakland rapper thought he was onto something when realized he had some choice slang at his disposal. Raised in such a vibrant yet potentially perilous environment, a young Kafani excelled at academics and athletics as he tried to figure a way to escape his ghetto surroundings.

Kanfani released a diss track towards Philthy Rich called "Philthy You a Verse Lick".

The next day, he released another diss track entitled "Philthy Bitch".

Kanfani appears on E1 Urban Records.

Loserville Calls Government Shutdown A Slimdown!

The network that hates President Barack Obama, progressives and the Black community is add it again.

Chief Roger and his merry band of right wing lunatics are saying this government shutdown is all the president and the U.S. Senate Democrats fault. Clearly being the cheerleaders for the Republican Party, the network is willing to help soothe the fault line.

That Guy Who Helped Obama Win calls it the Obama-[Harry] Reid Shutdown.

Bill-O is saying that the president is willing to talk to Iran and Syria but not the Republicans on a budget.

Yeah, the network is now saying that the 800,000 laid off workers of federal government are just disposable income. They've determined that the government shutdown is a slim down.

Tell that to the thousands of workers who have to feed their families and pay their bills.

Steve King (R-Iowa), Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), and Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) were showboating at the World War II memorial.

The president isn't going to negotiate with people who can't get off their fixation to repeal the healthcare law.

The president warned that their obsession to defeat him will backfire. You see it in the polls and the American people reject a government shutdown over a political issue.

Republicans tried to pass three bills for temporary funding for veterans, national parks and keeping the Washington, DC running. The Democrats rejected that saying that the Republicans continue to add these ridiculous features on the bills.

Washington, DC is funded by Congress. As permitted by the U.S. Constitution, the District is under the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States Congress and is therefore not a part of any U.S. state. Since it doesn't have a governor the U.S. Congress is the head of the government and the mayor Vincent Gray is the leader.

The bill includes a year delay of Obamacare, the extension of the Keystone XL pipeline and rollbacks to environmental regulations.

The Republicans were stunting yesterday. A group of veterans were denied access to the national parks.

Republicans are showboating.

The Unaccomplished: Michele Bachmann, Steve King and Louie Gohmert broke a barrier down at the World War II memorial to allow access for veterans. Clearly ignoring a restriction and also running for the cameras to show they "care" about the people.

Majority Leader Eric Cantor and six other Republicans sat at a negotiating table waiting on the Democrats. Only people were there were seven white guys and a whole lot of cameras.

And Loserville is saying that its the Democrats who aren't willing to stop the crisis.

The Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall tries to soothe the public's outrage towards Republicans.

When you have a Democratic president a network and a political party wants to see fail, is there any reason for negotiation?

The president had to shorten his scheduled Asian trip due to the government shutdown.

The Healthcare Marketplace is also crashing because of the government shutdown and high traffic demand.

He spoke to the press yesterday, demanding that Congress get their heads out their asses and pass a long-term budget plan for 2014 and raise the debt ceiling.

Obama: [For the first time in 17 years], Republicans in Congress chose to shut down the federal government. Let me be more specific. One faction of one party in one house of Congress in one branch of government shut down major parts of the government all because they didn't like one law.

This Republican shut down did not have to happen, but I want every American to understand why it did happen. Republicans in the House of Representatives refused to fund the government unless we defunded or dismantled the Affordable Care Act.

They've shut down the government over an ideological crusade to deny affordable health insurance to millions of Americans. In other words, they demanded ransom just for doing their job.

He would later add: And we know that the longer this shutdown continues, the worse the effects will be. More families will be hurt. More businesses will be harmed. So once again, I urge House Republicans to reopen the government, restart the services Americans depend on and allow the public servants who have been sent home to return to work.

This isn't a game! Real lives are affected by a government shutdown.

This is only going to happen when Republicans realize they don't get to hold the entire economy hostage over ideological demands.

I want to underscore the fact that Congress doesn't just have to end this shutdown and reopen the government; Congress generally has to stop governing by crisis.

They have to break this habit. It is a drag on the economy. It is not worthy of this country.

The last time Republicans even threatened this course of action -- many of you remember, back in 2011 -- our economy staggered; our credit rating was downgraded for the first time. If they go through with it this time and force the United States to default on its obligations for the first time in history, it'd be far more dangerous than a government shutdown, as bad as a shutdown is; it would be an economic shutdown.

So I'll speak more on this in the coming days, but let me repeat, I will not negotiate over Congress' responsibility to pay bills it's already racked up. I'm not going to allow anybody to drag the good name of the United States of America through the mud just to refight a settled election or extract ideological demands.

Nobody gets to hurt our economy and millions of hardworking families over a law you don't like. There are a whole bunch of things that I'd like to see pass through Congress that the House Republicans haven't passed yet, and I'm not out there saying, well, I'm not -- I'm going to let America default unless Congress does something that they don't want to do. That's not how adults operate. Certainly, that's not how our government should operate.

The Klan Got Shutdown, Literally!

The Klan can't catch a break.

The federal shutdown has affected national parks and the far right hate group couldn't make its appointment to the Gettysburg Military Historical National Park.

It's not only a horrible situation for millions of Americans who planned trips to our natural and historical wonders but an impact on the economy because of stubborn asshole lawmakers who would wreck it in order to defeat President Barack Obama.

The park is closed and all permits for special events in October have been rescinded, including the Oct. 5 First Amendment demonstration to be held by the Confederate White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, said a park news release. The group had received a special use permit to gather on the lawn north of Meade’s Headquarters along Taneytown Road.

Permits for at least 11 events in October have been rescinded, said Katie Lawhon, management assistant at Gettysburg National Military Park, noting that the list was as of two weeks ago.

I mean it's almost sad that I kind of defend the Klan. Millions of Americans planned trips, marriage proposals, school trips, vacations and numerous activities. All of that squashed.

They have the right to promote their hatred. But due to the government ineffectiveness, I guess their hate will be back in the woods of some private property. This not only them, but thousands of visitors of the national parks.

It May Be Over For Boehner!

He did everything but lead the Congress.

When the junk food media turns on you, it's over for you!

Congressman John Boehner (R-Ohio) is probably going to be ranked one of the worst leaders in Congress.

No tears for fears.

The weeping speaker has gambled his political future as a lawmaker and his legacy is going to be tarnished by this. The government shutdown is now in effect and thousands of Americans working for the federal agencies will have to be sent home, demoted or not get paid for work.

Everyone suffers. We just had a mass shooting last month. We had that mass shooting at the Navy Yard in Washington, DC. Only but two weeks ago, a man who worked as a federal contractor let his gun sound off on 12 people.

Those workers suffered an already horrible scenario. Now just as they go back to work, they're told that they'll be laid off because those in Washington refuse to pass a budget.

Say if you're trying to get a passport for a vacation overseas. You can't get it on time. If you just applied for it July or August, it may come in November. If you applied for a passport in September it may come in December. It may affect your plans.

You can't visit the national monuments or parks in the United States. Famed National parks Yellowstone to Yosamite are closed. National parks from North Dakota to California and from Hawaii to American Samoa are closed.

NASA is closed. You can't visit the facilities in Florida and Texas to see rockets and aircraft. Only essential workers are allowed.

You can't visit the Air Force Museum or Gettysburg. The facilities are closed.

And the blame lies squarely on Republicans feet.

John Boehner catered to political novices like Michele Bachmann, Steve Stockman, and Steve King. These three lawmakers have no legislative accomplishments and are deemed corrupt by many Washington insiders.

Mitch McConnell catered to Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. Four politicos who have legislative victories since they've been elected to the office.

The New York Daily News report that this event is an embarrassing disruption that angered President Obama. He said this event was “entirely preventable” and Congress would “throw a wrench into the gears” of the country’s recovering economy was triggered as a midnight deadline passed without agreement between the Republican-controlled House and Democrat-run Senate.

The shutdown would keep 800,000 federal workers at home on Tuesday and inconvenience millions of people who rely on federal services or are drawn to the nation’s parks and other attractions. Critical workers, from the Border Patrol to air-traffic controllers, would remain on the job, unpaid.

The New York Daily News trashed then House Speaker now political agitator Newt Gingrich for what was perceived a temper tantrum caused by then President Bill Clinton not budging to the Republican proposals.

Even more troubling than the shutdown was that the partisan stalemate that caused it sets the stage for an even more high-stakes clash, as Congress must soon deal with raising the debt limit by Oct. 17 — a matter in which both sides concede that failure would be perilous for the U.S. economy and economies worldwide. Republicans also want to attach conditions to that vote. Democrats said giving ground now would encourage Republicans to take a harder line in that fight.

At times Monday, Washington seemed like a real-life “House of Cards,” the Netflix drama in which D.C. power players are motivated by dark self-interest rather than the national interest.

Congress, and the government, needed to act because there was no authorization for the government to spend any money as of 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, the start of the new budget year.

For the first time since the showdown began, there were fissures in the Republican strategy that has been carried out at the insistence of conservatives aligned with the Tea Party. Twelve lawmakers sided with Democrats in a late Monday vote on adding an Obamacare delay to a spending bill, a minor revolt by moderate-leaning Republicans.

Obamacare Is Here!

Big day for the president's signature healthcare law. Starting today, many Americans will be able to apply for affordable insurance for healthcare and the insurers can't deny a person insurance based on pre-existing conditions.

The Affordable Healthcare and Patient Protection Act (AHPPA or ACA) or Obamacare was signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2010. The law is a groundbreaking milestone. It prevents Americans from being dropped from insurance and requires millions of uninsured Americans to have at least coverage for medical bills. The cost of rising coverage for people who have emergency room visits is skyrocketing.

You can visit Healthcare.gov for the Health Insurance Marketplace. Please note that due to the government shutdown and possible high traffic, it may take a moment to apply for the enrollment.

The ACA aims to increase the quality and affordability of health insurance, lower the uninsured rate by expanding public and private insurance coverage, and reduce the costs of healthcare for individuals and the government. It provides a number of mechanisms—including mandates, subsidies, and insurance exchanges—to increase coverage and affordability.

It's the law.

The law also requires insurance companies to cover all applicants within new minimum standards and offer the same rates regardless of pre-existing conditions or sex.

Additional reforms aim to reduce costs and improve healthcare outcomes by shifting the system towards quality over quantity through increased competition, regulation, and incentives to streamline the delivery of healthcare. The Congressional Budget Office projected that the ACA will lower both future deficits and Medicare spending.

In 2012, the United States Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of most of the ACA in the case National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius. However, the Court held that states cannot be forced to participate in the ACA's Medicaid expansion under penalty of losing their current Medicaid funding.

Since the ruling, the law and its implementation have continued to face challenges in Congress, in federal courts, and from some state governments.

Yeah, Vice President Joe Biden: This is a big "f**king deal!






Some of the photos were during the healthcare debate. The president and vice president celebrating the passage of the law. The Democrats walking in unison towards the U.S. Capitol. Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) at the repeal Obamacare rally. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota) talks to the press during a rally to protest the vote. Congressman John Boehner (R-Ohio) when he was then the Minority Leader made the "Hell No You Can't" speech in the final hours of the vote.

BREAKING: Government Shutdown!

The government shuts down.

Welcome to the United States of America. It's the country of 310 million plus people and led by a constitutional government. Today Congress couldn't pass a budget to fund the government throughout 2013 and 2014.

So now what we do?

We vent online. Believe me its going to be a bunch of finger pointing!

Today, the U.S. government has let the American worker down.

As of tonight, the federal government is in a partial shutdown.

People will be affected and right now it's just a few non-essential sources, but in reality, it's everything.

People will be affected by this. Congress will find some way to work through the impasse.

Republicans will take most of the blame for the situation.

We here at Journal de la Reyna will continue to follow developments on the situation as it follows.
