The controversial politico is going to find ways to oust Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
Washed up politico fires a round towards the Senate Republican Minority Leader.
We adverted a global recession at the price of a pork project in Mitch McConnell's home state of Kentucky.
Many Americans are pissed at Congress for not getting things done. The job approval for Congress is at record lows. It's a shame that many Americans continue to vote for these type of politicos.
Again, McConnell is a rotten politician. He's nothing more than a waste of space in the state of Kentucky.
He's been attacking his opponents from the left and the right. And despite all the money and all the political rabble rousing, this race is more tougher for him. Say if the Republican leader manages to win the primary, he'll be a vulnerable candidate. He could likely win. But say if the Tea Party opponent Matt Bevin wins, it's going to be a Republican hold.
The Palin Da Ass penned a piece about her mission to uproot the establishment Republicans. She's aiming at Kentucky (McConnell), Mississippi (Thad Cochran), South Carolina (Lindsay Graham), and Tennessee (Lamar Alexandar).
Of course, her word vomit included a shot at President Barack Obama and Senator Cory Booker (D-New Jersey), the newly elected member who won a special election against Steve Lonegan, a right wing bigot.
Tonight’s press coverage of the status quo antics in Washington, D.C. energize us further. Tonight’s New Jersey race was a win for Barack Obama, and the Senate deal in D.C. was a loss for the American people replete with more back-room deals, billion dollar corrupt earmark kickbacks, and weak leadership unwilling to stand up for the people who sent them to Washington.
Turtle soup.
[The Republicans caving into Obama's demands] reminds us of how hard we must fight in 2014 to return to a government of the people, by the people, for the people. These politicians work for us, and yet a new poll accurately reflects that just 13% of us feel as though this country that we love is on the right track. The way forward is to elect leaders who will listen to us; and if they don’t, we must hold them accountable on election day – no matter what party. Let’s commit to continue to be in the trenches fighting for those who stand on principle over politics, despite the odds.
Friends, do not be discouraged by the shenanigans of D.C.’s permanent political class today. Be energized.
We’re going to shake things up in 2014. Rest well tonight, for soon we must focus on important House and Senate races. Let’s start with Kentucky – which happens to be awfully close to South Carolina, Tennessee, and Mississippi – from sea to shining sea we will not give up. We've only just begun to fight.
Even that stupid ass Robert Zimmerman (brother of acquitted shooter George Zimmerman), gives her props for standing up for the Tea Party.
Todd and I were proud to stand with Mark Levin and other bold, patriotic warriors in support of Steve Lonegan in... http://t.co/yHlfqNWDZn

In the word vomit, you basically see a Republican civil war. The Tea Party was highly disappointed in the deal. They wanted to be united against Obamacare and it turned out that they fought a battle they weren't going to win.
Now instead of cutting their losses, they double time on the ignorance.
In midterm elections, the majority party usually in power often suffers the setback. Counting on how far the Republicans will go to further to isolate their middle.
We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Congressman Bill Young, Republican of Florida. It was confirmed by the Associated Press that he had died today. The people over at liberal agitating blog Talking Points Memo were mocking Gretchen Carlson of Loserville thinking she got the story wrong. It turns out it was proven true.
Also we here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of former House Speaker Tom Foley, Democrat of Washington.
Joseph Jenkins was serving life in the iron college but managed to get early parole! Of course, on forged doucments.
Governor Rick Scott, the Republican is making it his number one priority to capture two inmates who managed to forged their way out of the iron college. Two inmates who were serving life in the iron college found a way to get out and they used the judge who proceeded over the Casey Anthony trial.
It's funny that in the digital age, we the American taxpayer give inmates in the iron college access to computers! If I wasn't such a humanitarian, I would never allow them access to a computer, ever!
Of course, it's in Florida. So obviously, we haven't overcome the verdict. So I am guessing that the racist right will somehow tie this to President Barack Obama, Trayvon Martin or every civil rights leader.
Obviously since these are Black criminals, they'll be talk about crime statistics, complaints of liberal bias, or the "OBAMA'S SONS" comment.
CNN reports Charles Walker and Joseph Jenkins have been free for some time, though this fact didn't become public knowledge until this week. Now, Florida authorities are not only looking for the two men, but they also are insisting they aren't to blame -- even if others dropped the ball or were fooled in a big, big way.
"We've had a system failure that resulted in two individuals being erroneously released," Orange County, Florida, Sheriff Jerry Demings said. "...This is very frustrating for all of us who work in the system."
Charles Walker, the other inmate who got early release on forged documents.
The two fugitives, both 34, didn't need a Hollywood-style jailbreak or even a "Get Out Of Jail Free" card to spring themselves out of the Franklin Correctional Institution. Instead they used forged documents indicating their life sentences had been modified and they could leave.
The legal-looking documents contained bogus reproductions of several key players' signatures, including those of the Orlando-area state attorney or the assistant state attorney and Judge Belvin Perry. They bore the seal of the Orange County clerk of court's office.
The documents were processed by the state Department of Corrections and the men were released. Processing the paper work is more akin to data entry than high-level analysis or approval, noted veteran Florida criminal defense attorney Mark O'Mara.
"However it was done, it was well-planned and they know the system well enough to place it," said O'Mara, a CNN contributor known for representing George Zimmerman.
As well as those behind the convicts' release might have executed their scheme, some think others in authority could have done better, but the agencies involved are defending their actions.
The orders to release Walker and Jenkins looked legitimate, said Ninth Circuit State Attorney Jeffrey L. Ashton.
The county clerk of court's office didn't do anything wrong, spokeswoman Leesa Branbridge said. It acts "like a post office," Bainbridge said, "Our role is to take orders and send them to the appropriate agency."
That last agency, the state Department of Corrections, is throwing up its hands as well.
The court passed along documentation indicating the two murderers' sentences had been changed, and "it's not our job to question what the court does," said Department of Corrections spokeswoman Misty Cash.
"The fault does not lie on us. No one is getting in trouble here for what happened," she said.
Whoever is to blame, the price is being paid. Law enforcement officials are working overtime to try to find Walker and Jenkins, with a reward of $10,000 apiece being offered for information leading to their capture.
The relatives of the men's victims are angry, scared and want an explanation.
And while Demings said Friday he didn't know of any similar premature releases of inmates, O'Mara said that given how smoothly this plan worked, how readily available court documents are in Florida, and how seemingly simple it was to pull off, it would be naive to think this hasn't happened before, freeing other convicts well before their time was served.
"I doubt it happens very much, because this is very unusual," said O'Mara. "But this could have gone for 10 years or more."
Sentenced to life without parole, then set free
In September 1998, Joseph I. Jenkins killed Roscoe Pugh Jr. during a home-invasion robbery attempt.
Six months later, Cedric Slater was gunned down on an Orlando street corner -- shot dead, a jury determined, by Charles B. Walker.
Both killers were convicted and sentenced to life behind bars without the possibility of parole within two years of their crime. While it's not known if they knew each other, they were at the same prison in North Carrabelle, in Florida's Panhandle.
Jenkins left there on September 27, and Walker left on October 8, according to authorities. They had motions indicating the sentences had been reduced, as well as court orders granting the request. Investigators later discovered these documents were forged.
Asked how someone might replicate the documents, O'Mara noted that court filings in Florida cases are available online, so they might be mimicked by "anybody with a little common sense," access to a word processing tool and the gall to replicate signatures seen on those records.
There might have been a screw-up, but Cash said there is no "cover-up" at the Department of Corrections.
That agency's chief, Michael Crews, has promised a "vigorous and thorough review" to make sure others weren't also wrongly freed.
"This will be a lesson learned for all involved. We may now look more closely at what the court sends," Cash said. "Our system is being accused, and people are being led to believe that the DOC let these guys walk out the front door, and that's just not the case."
There's good reason to question, and change, the system, O'Mara said. Whereas victims are notified before a defendant's pretrial release, there's no such notice -- even to prosecutors -- before a convict walks free, he pointed out.
In fact, the first that prosecutors got wind of what happened was after they were contacted by a member of Walker's family, Ashton said.
An October 8 letter from the Department of Corrections to Slater's mother, Evangelina Kearse, notified her a "court order and amended sentence caused (Walker's) sentence to expire."
"Please be aware that recent actions causing the release of this offender are beyond our control.
Nevertheless, we apologize for the delay in this message," it said.
It doesn't have to be this way, O'Mara said. "Let not only the victim's family know well ahead of time, then send it to the state's attorney," he said, surmising prosecutors as well as victims won't let mistakes by so easily. "...That's an easy fix."
Not the first case, perhaps not the last
One irony is that Florida authorities were completely ignorant that such ruses can work.
On October 7, charging documents were filed against another inmate, Jeffrey Forbes, for allegedly trying a similar scheme in 2011.
Forbes is accused of forgery and attempted escape after a police detective who initially helped convict the man discovered he was scheduled to be released despite being sentenced to life in prison for the attempted first-degree murder of a law enforcement officer, according to Ashton's statement.
The investigation revealed that someone had forged Ashton's name on a bogus court order reducing the sentence and a circuit court judge's name on the order reducing Forbes' life sentence, the statement said.
Nonetheless, Walker was freed thanks to his own forged documents the very next day -- October 8.
Both he and Jenkins appeared to play by the rules afterward. They both went to the Orange County jail to register as felons -- Jenkins on September 30, Walker on October 11 -- an audacious "and really smart move" by both men, because it bought them time before authorities were tipped off anything was awry, O'Mara said.
While their releases may have initially seemed legitimate and innocuous, by Friday evening, the two convicts had been classified as escapees.
Demings, the Orange County sheriff, said both are considered "dangerous individuals" and -- by virtue of some "legitimate spottings" -- are thought to be in the Orlando area.
One of the officials whose signature was forged said he wouldn't be surprised if something like this happens again. It may not work exactly the same way, but it would be unwise to assume criminals won't try whatever they can to get out of prison, said Judge Perry.
"People, particularly people with criminal minds, come up with ingenious ways to beat the system," Perry said. "They have nothing but time on their hands to think of things."
The conservative media was pissed off at the Republican Party for supporting the bipartisan bill that allowed the government shutdown to end and raise the debt ceiling without any concessions.
After all the fuss, the Republicans ended up with nothing and of course, King Hippo is livid.
President Barack Obama spoke to the press today and told the American people to avoid the rabble rousing of talk radio, the internet blogs, lobbyists and carnival barkers.
This has to be one of the many 11th hour moves by the inept Congress. They passed a bipartisan budget bill to starve off an international recession. This bipartisan bill will last for six months. It will fund the government until January 2014 and the debt ceiling until February 2014.
Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY, Minority Leader) and 26 Republican senators joined the 52 Democrats and two independents in passing this. The 19 senators who voted against it included some familiar faces.
Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX), Mike Lee (R-UT), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Tim Scott (R-SC), Dean Heller (R-NV), Mike Crapo (R-ID), Jim Risch (R-ID), Richard Shelby (R-AL), Jeff Sessions (R-AL), Rand Paul (R-KY), Pat Toomey (R-PA), Tom Coburn (R-OK), Mike Enzi (R-WY), Pat Roberts (R-KS), Ron Johnson (R-WI), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), John Cornyn (R-TX) and David Vitter (R-LA).
Republicans who wanted to repeal Obamacare were desperate for a victory and it didn't come to fruition.
So now what do they do next? They complain even more.
Stallmigos Mike Lee (R-UT), Rand Paul (R-KY), Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Ted Cruz (R-TX).
Here's a rant from KING HIPPO:
So the Republicans have done everything they can to try to make everybody like them, and what they've ended up doing is creating one of the greatest political disasters I've ever seen in my lifetime, simply because they failed to show up. Then when they finally did make a play of showing up, they didn't have the guts to stick with it. Undertake a partial government shutdown. Let's call it a slowdown. Undertake 87% shutdown the federal government for two weeks, and the endgame is that Dingy Harry gets to write the continuing resolution and the debt limit expansion and extension. And then after that two and a half weeks, all of it, the Democrat side, the Republican side blamed on Ted Cruz.
One guy did all this. One guy created all this havoc, one guy. If this one guy woulda shut up and never said anything, why, we'd be what? In fat city? So the Republican establishment, the Democrat establishment, there is a full-out now -- I want to warn you about this because, folks, we're gonna have to hang tough. You may think I'm crazy here. We're gonna have to remain as best we can detached from that mess and stay bucked up, optimistic, of good cheer as best we can because there is an all-out assault now, not just on Cruz and Lee, and not just on the Tea Party, but on the conservative wing of the party. It isn't new. We've spoken of it on many previous occasions. But now they're being fortified because now they all think they've got all the ammo they need, and that is this last two and a half weeks was brought about strictly by the Tea Party.
The Republicans have been hoodwinked. There are two things that have happened. A, they are literally paralyzed because Obama is African-American. They are literally paralyzed. Before that happened, the Democrats and the media ran one of the most brilliant political tricks I have ever seen pulled off. That political trick convinced Republicans, and, more importantly, their brilliant moderate consultants, that criticizing any Democrat president would anger the independents. Remember that? Because the independents, God bless the independents, oh, my God, folks, the princes and the princesses of our culture. The moderate independents, the only reasonable people out there. The only open-minded, nonbigoted, nonclosed-minded human beings in America.
You don't have a prayer of winning if you succeed in driving your base out. This is not the time to abandon Ted Cruz or Mike Lee, folks. I'm not talking about sending the money, and I'm not talking about anything traditional. I'm just talking about in your hearts and in your minds, 'cause you know they're right.
Whatever the Republican Party is today is because the Wizards of Smart that run it are not the conservatives. They're the ones who have authored this. It's their signature on all of this, and they are -- like a lot of other children, lot of like other victims -- blaming everybody else. That's where we are. But the opportunity here, I still like it, as I finish my thought. I was thinking, you know, yesterday I said -- and this is picked up a couple places, and I knew it would be.
Congratulations to Senate-elect Cory Booker. The Newark mayor trounced the Republican bigot Steve Lonegan in a U.S. Senate special election. This special election victory gave Democrats 55 and Republicans 45 in the U.S. Senate.
The 44 year old energetic politico has gained a reputation for his personal involvement in public service, including going on a ten-day hunger strike outdoors to draw attention to the dangers of open-air drug dealing, living on a "food stamp" budget to raise awareness of food insecurity, shoveling the driveway of a constituent upon request, allowing Hurricane Sandy victims into his home, helping a constituent propose to his girlfriend, rescuing a dog from freezing temperatures, saving a woman from a house fire at his own risk and rescuing a dog that had been locked in a crate. He is an avid Twitter user and played collegiate football at Stanford.
There will be two members of the U.S. Senate who are Black.
Booker and Republican Senator Tim Scott signaled that they'll run for reelection to have a complete term.
In 2012, Tim Scott was promoted by Republican governor Nikki Haley of South Carolina. She appoint him to replace Jim DeMint. The controversial firebrand Jim DeMint quit the Senate to become president of The Heritage Foundation.
In 2013, Frank Lauterberg passed away paving the way for Booker to take on the challenge.
Gambled his political future to the tone of extremism.
The Senate passed a bipartisan budget bill and debt ceiling increase.
The House of Representatives controlled by the Republicans finally gave up their useless fight over Obamacare. This has sparked a feud within the party itself. The House will finally pass a clean resolution to fund the thousands of workers off the job. This will also prevent a spark of a global recession.
For nearly 20 days, government workers were furloughed and some were even working without getting paid.
Those off the job will be compensated for time missed.
The debt ceiling will be raised for a moment.
Now six months from now, we'll be back in the same mess we've gotten in. But this time, the Republicans can't stop Obamacare. And this time Republicans will have to pick their fights carefully. Because if they try this stunt again, they're going to lose everything.
Boehner and the tea party were finally forced to release their grip Wednesday by a bipartisan coalition in the U.S. Senate that said enough is enough, and the looming deadline of potential default starting Thursday.
“The House has fought with everything it has to convince the president of the United States to engage in bipartisan negotiations aimed at addressing our country's debt and providing fairness for the American people under ObamaCare," Boehner said after he finally waved the white flag. "That fight will continue. But blocking the bipartisan agreement reached today by the members of the Senate will not be a tactic for us."
All that Republicans got for the bruising battle was a fig leaf provision on Obamacare and record low approval ratings.
The bill agreed upon by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) will fund the government through Jan. 15 and extend the $16.7 trillion debt ceiling through Feb. 7. It also includes back pay for unpaid and furloughed federal workers and an agreement that both chambers would open a budget conference committee for the first time in years.
The lone change to Obamacare was minimal, and Democrats said they liked it. It involves putting tighter restrictions on income verification standards for people receiving subsidies in the Affordable Care Act's new insurance marketplaces. It was a far cry from defunding or delaying the law, as many Republicans conceded the strategy to focus the fight on Obamacare had been wrong from the start.
Republicans did notch a significant victory in the final deal. It funds the government until mid-January at the sequestration levels specified by the 2011 Budget Control Act that ended the last debt showdown. But Republicans had won that concession from Democrats weeks before the House set out on its doomed effort to strangle Obamacare.
"The sad truth is, we ended up where we started," said Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). "We achieved our goal, but at a cost. It never should have been this way."
Cruz grabbed one final moment in the spotlight, railing on the Senate floor against letting the Treasury Department pay the debts Congress has run up and putting federal workers back on the job.
"This is a terrible deal," Cruz said. "This deal embodies everything about the Washington establishment that frustrates the American people."
But even as Cruz spoke, he conceded defeat by accurately predicting the bill would pass "by a big margin," and accused his Senate colleagues of abandoning House Republicans in the fight against Obamacare.
"I ask you to imagine a world in which Senate Republicans united to support House Republicans," Cruz said. "It is heartbreaking to the American people that Senate Republicans divided as they did and decided to direct their criticism, direct their attention, direct their cannon fire at House Republicans and at those standing with the American people.
"They became the Air Force bombing our own troops -- bombing House Republicans, bombing conservatives," Cruz said.
The 18 senators who voted against the final deal are all idiots: Republicans Tom Coburn (Okla.), John Cornyn (Texas), Mike Crapo (Idaho), Ted Cruz (Texas), Mike Enzi (Wyo.), Chuck Grassley (Iowa), Dean Heller (Nev.), Ron Johnson (Wis.), Mike Lee (Utah), Rand Paul (Ky.), Pat Roberts (Kansas), Jim Risch (Idaho), Marco Rubio (Fla.), Tim Scott (S.C.), Jeff Sessions (Ala.), Richard Shelby (Ala.), Pat Toomey (Pa.), David Vitter (La.).
President Barack Obama said he would sign the measure "immediately."
"We'll begin reopening our government immediately and we can begin to lift this cloud of uncertainty and unease from our businesses and the American people," Obama said in a brief speech at the White House.
The standoff began over the summer, when tea party Republicans, led by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), demanded that the House of Representatives lock government funding in a chokehold unless Democrats and Obama defunded the Affordable Care Act.
House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said no, at first. But but he later gave in, ignoring the advice of other Republicans, from Mitt Romney to John McCain (Ariz.) and Tom Coburn (Okla.).
Here's pictures that explain the whole fiasco and the lead up to passing a law.
Jan Crawford of CBS News interviews controversial Stallmigo, Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas). Turdporter trying to use GOP talking points to discredit the healthcare law. Tell her to butt dial 1-800-312-2596 if she has trouble on the computer trying to sign up.
Waking up to CBS This Morning and I got the opportunity to hear the news agitators talk about the "rocky start" to the Affordable Healthcare Act's website. We hear millions (or thousands) of people trying to access the website and they're having problems. We even hear talk from President Barack Obama's former press secretary and campaign adviser Robert Gibbs tells Obama News that people should be "fired" for the rollout.
Yeah, I can say this clearly that turdporter Jan Crawford of CBS News is a god awful.
She's doing the Republicans a favor by reporting on the minor glitches over at Healthcare.gov. Giving the notion that the whole law is screwed up and the president overplayed his hand.
One thing in particular is the system server crashing or continuous mentions of "PLEASE TRY AGAIN LATER" on the website.
That's common when you're also in a "GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN". Obviously every government website is down.
But also there's a phone number 1-800-318-2596. It's toll free and you can call it. Depending on call volumes, you should be able to have a live operator to help you sign up for affordable healthcare.
Understand, that computer users may have some form of frustration with the website. It's perfectly fine.
Here's a scenario. If you have rolled out a website and it has frequent glitches, do you just shutdown the website or work on making improvements to it?
Apple, Inc. has the most glitches on their software. I own a iPod (4th Generation Touch). Do you know how many times I've had my apps crash or be updated?
Do I think the iPod Touch is a great product? Yeah.
Do I understand that the iPods, iPads, and iPhone have problems? Yeah.
That's the same way I feel about the Affordable Healthcare Act (Obamacare).
It's a great product. It has problems. They will fix them.
Anything that's part of the United States government is slower and it's nearly down.
So hence forth, a stupid Republican talking point.
The government website for the Affordable Healthcare Act is down. We can scream that the whole law is bad and we can win elections.
You got to be the most gullible person on the planet to not use other methods to access a product.
I mean you can get mailer. You can call a phone number.
Are you vulnerable without a computer?
It's funny that Republicans failed in stopping this. They wanted to defund, delay, repeal, legally challenge, filibuster and now intentionally taking the country to the brink of an economic disaster because of a law.
Why?
They hate the president and his policies. And of course, they're not satisfied with his race. Either way, it's not helping them with the general public.
People who run these websites are government workers too. So with this government shutdown, government workers who work in the domestic sector are furloughed or placed on leave.
Congress is messing with people's lives. The media elite are enabling them by putting on more Republicans who bolster concerns without solutions. And of course, we the gullible audience believes them.
Fort Wayne, Indiana is a city in the northeast quadrant of the state. The population is 224,000 people and somewhere in that city lies a downright ignorant ass human pile of excrement who believes the twice elected first Black president is Adolf Hitler and he should be impeached.
WANE TV reports that an embarrassment has plagued their city. A person with a digital billboard has the president with a little mustache and the words of impeachment.
Adorned with a picture of Obama, complete with Hitler's signature mustache, the billboard -- reportedly located at the Cornerstone Plaza in Kendallville. The town is located about 30 miles from Fort Wayne.
The Cornerstone Plaza sign located on U.S. 6 in Kendallville showed the images. The sign caused much controversy in the city.
"The first thing I thought of with that little mustache of Hitler, I didn't like it," said Billy Wright, of Kendallville.
Charlotte Wright lives in Fort Wayne. She said she heard about the sign by watching NewsChannel 15. She shared the story on Facebook and said Facebook users were outraged by the electronic sign.
"It's too bad because it does mark the businesses and the town," she said.
Kendallville Mayor Suzanne Handshoe was made aware of the sign by the town's newspaper. She said she's been iinundated with endless phone calls and messages about the sign. She said this is not the picture she wants painted about her town, and was glad it has been removed.
"All the hard work that we put forward as a community to change our image, to be a positive, growing community, and then a sign like this appears. It just undoes everything we've been doing," said Mayor Handshoe.
The sign was made possible by the LaRouchePac. LaRouchePac is a political action committee created by Lyndon LaRouche. He has run for president multiple times but served jail time in 1988 for mail fraud.
Group members tell NewsChannel 15 they were in Kendallville over the weekend talking about the process of impreaching President Obama and what their group is about.
"There to stir the pot and let people know that there's a political fight that's going on, that's going on in D.C. and extends out to the regions of the country," said Bill Roberts of the LaRouchePac.
Our news partners at KPC News reports the sign was taken down Tuesday because it was up longer than it should have been.
Good looking out. President Barack Obama hopes Cory Booker wins this U.S. Special Election.
The New Jersey special election is going to be held on Wednesday and it's going to be a clear landslide if you can motivate citizens to vote for the Democratic nominee Cory Booker.
The vacancy resulted from the death of five-term Democratic Senator Frank Lautenberg on June 3, 2013.
In the interim, the seat is held by Republican Senator Jeffrey Chiesa, who was appointed on June 6, 2013 by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to serve until the elected winner can be sworn in.
At the time of his appointment, Chiesa, then New Jersey's Attorney General, announced that he would not be a candidate in the special election.
Booker is the current mayor of Newark, New Jersey and he's a sure favorite to win this. But Republicans hope for an opportunity. The Republican nominee Steve Lonegan is using every trick out of the Tea Party playbook to label the two term mayor as "NIGGER".
Getting an endorsement from the Stallmigos, Palin Da Ass and That Guy Who Helped Obama Win isn't beneficial to the former Bogota mayor.
Cory Booker and Steve Lonegan fight for an open U.S. Senate seat.
The desperation is in the air over at the Lonegan campaign headquarters. The birther craze now is spreading into this race.
Some conservative activists are now questioning Booker's home residency as a last ditch attempt to paint the mayor as "untruthful." Then of course, they're talking about urban crime in the city of Newark. It's the last attempt of NIGGERIZATION of Booker (via President Barack Obama).
Most polls say that Booker will win this.
But it's up to the good people of New Jersey to make it happen.
Eminem releases Marshall Mathers LP 2 in the fourth quarter.
The famous, controversial and yet very reclusive rapper Eminem will emerge again to release a highly anticipated album around November.
Heading back into the studio with his mentor Dr. Dre, the famous entertainer will release the Marshall Mathers LP 2. His album will feature his darker style of rapping. It will feature production from Dr. Dre, NoID, Symbolyc One (S1) and Rick Rubin. The only features include Fun frontman Nate Ruess, pop singer Rihanna, label mate Kendrick Lamar, his affiliated artist Skylar Gary.
This album first single Bezerk was release in August and getting radio play. The two most recent singles Survival and Rap God are out as well.
Eminem has an unique rap style. It's considered dark, edgy and named several MCs who influenced his rapping style. First and foremost is his mentor, Dr. Dre, whose thick, muscular, terror- and paranoia-evoking loops have seen reincarnations in the work of Eminem.
Other influences have included Esham, Kool G Rap, Masta Ace, Big Daddy Kane, Newcleus, Ice-T, Mantronix, Melle Mel (specifically the track "The Message"), LL Cool J, Beastie Boys, Run–D.M.C., Rakim, and Boogie Down Productions.
A brief summary of The Marshall Mathers LP.
The Marshall Mathers LP sold more than 1.76 million copies in the US in the first week alone, becoming the fastest-selling studio album by any solo artist in American music history. In 2001, the album won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album and was nominated for Album of the Year. The album was certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America in 2011 for shipping 10 million copies in the United States.
Since its release in 2000, the album sold 10,598,000 copies in the US and more than 21 million copies worldwide.
The Marshall Mathers LP has been ranked as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time by Rolling Stone, Time, and XXL.
Rolling Stone placed the album at number 7 on its list of the best albums of the 2000s.
The rapper also has a parenthood moment. ABC News reports that Eminem was reportedly on hand to see his daughter crowned homecoming queen of her Michigan high school last Friday.
Hailie Scott, 17, the rapper’s only biological child with ex-wife Kimberly Scott, was voted homecoming queen of Chippewa Valley High School. Tyler Knepp, a self-described nerd who loves “Star Trek,” was named homecoming king.
According to the local newspaper The Macomb Daily, Eminem watched the proceedings from a classroom inside the high school.
“Hailie came out with her mother Kim (Scott) when she was introduced with all the other kids but her father watched from inside the school because he didn't want to cause a scene — he wanted Hailie to have her own moment,” one parent, who asked not to be identified, told the paper.
Another parent said Eminem was beaming when his daughter’s name was called.
“He opened the door and looked out like — ‘That’s my daughter!’ He just looked like a proud father,” the parent, who also declined to be identified, said.
Eminem has been vocal about his love for his daughter, even including her voice on his 2002 track “My Dad’s Gone Crazy.”
Parents of students who are friends with Scott described her as smart, athletic and caring.
“I think all of the kids in the district have shown respect to their family and just let her live a normal life here out of the spotlight,” one parent, who asked not to be identified, told The Macomb Daily.
Arkansas is a state that President Barack Obama has very low job approval. A state he barely campaigned in during his 2008 and 2012 run. A state that elected Republicans overwhelmingly this time around. Some say that the Democrats of the South aren't like the ones of the North.
The Northern Democrats were too liberal in the eyes of Southern Democrats. Southern Democrats are at best an equal to the Republican Party. Because they can elect a representative who's a Democrat but vote for a president that's a Republican.
Even a former state first lady such as Hillary Clinton would not move the needle if she would run for president. Arkansas is a Republican hold.
Now some of the state's residents are pretty dumb (if not extremist) in their thinking of President Barack Obama.
A controversial sign outside of Rogers, Arkansas restaurant has the people talking.
I know there's probably thousands if not millions of Americans who hate the healthcare law.
I understand the need for protest, but this is an example of the misinformation being spread by the agitators of the conservative media. This is practically an example of bad comparison.
Wonder why Obamacare is Slavery?
Johnny Howard who owns the Smokin' Joe's Ribhouse put up a sign saying that "[Obamacare] is America's Punishment For The Slavery Years."
I guess he's a fan of a former neurosurgeon who just recently got hired to Loserville. And how ironic, this former neurosurgeon had spoke at the far right Value Voters Summit about how the Affordable Healthcare Law is slavery.
This new face to the Black Right is Dr. Benjamin Carson. He's generated buzz this year by insulting the president during a National Prayer's Breakfast in February 2013.
Howard apologized for the sign and said he did not intend for it to offend people.
"I didn't intend for it to be racist-oriented at all," Howard said.
Yeah, invoke a horrible event in American history such as slavery and I guess he wants us to chuckle at it.
Now if it wasn't for those rascally liberals who sit in their underwear trying to stifle the "freedom" to be the condescending bigot that most figured you out to be, none of this would of happened!
States that the president rarely (if ever) visits are Idaho, Wyoming, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Alaska, Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama.
These states are solid red and even the Democrats are not favoring the president.
It's almost hard for the president to win the approval of the residents of these states. They are considered a lost for President Barack Obama in the campaign to inform about the healthcare law.
I'm a scientist and I'm being treated like trash by people from Biology Online.
Is this how women of Color scientists are treated?
This is an example of why women and People of Color aren't into science. I'd love to become a scientist since I was 8 years old, but social studies, culture, reading, English, Spanish, library science, art, and history are my loves. I still love science, but I'm despair by the racism/sexism that goes on in that field. Here's a sad article regarding how the scientific community treats Black women such as Ms. Danielle Lee. Danielle Lee is a scientist/scientist blogger from Oklahoma, one of the most misogynistic states in America today. Here's the Huffington Post article on the Sista:
It all started when Biology-Online offered Lee, who's doing her post-doctoral research at Oklahoma State University, the chance to be a guest blogger. The editor, whose name appears to be Ofek, said the opportunity would provide her with a great deal of "exposure," boasting that the site has 1.6 million visitors a month.
On Thursday, Lee politely declined the offer, according to screengrabs posted on IsisTheScientist, a blog. But the Biology-Online editor who made her the offer became upset and apparently responded by asking: "Because we don't pay for blog entries? Are you an urban scientist or an urban whore?"
The next day, an indignant Lee wrote about the incident on her Scientific American blog, "The Urban Scientist," saying the name-calling was dismissive, and the idea of being paid in exposure, rather than actual U.S. currency, is "wrong-headed."
This is work. I am a professional. Professionals get paid. End of story. Even if I decide to do it pro bono (because I support your mission or I know you, whatevs) – it is still worth something. I’m simply choosing to waive that fee.
Unfortunately, we could not quickly verify the facts of [Lee's] blog post and consequently for legal reasons we had to remove the post. Although we regret that this was necessary, a publisher must be able to protect its interests and Scientific American bloggers are informed that we may remove their blog posts at any time when they agree to blog for us.
Biology-Online did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Huffington Post.
WATCH: Biologist and blogger Danielle Lee responds to being called "an urban whore" after declining to write for Biology-Online.
Stallmigo Ted Cruz, U.S. senator from Texas endorses right wing groups.
Again, the Stallmigos are pushing their demands at the whims of government shutdown and a possible global destruction.
GOP Sundays offer another dose of Republican points and the denial of reality. The establishment were making the rounds on the programs and pushing this ridiculous narrative that the president is "unwilling" to work with them on a compromise.
Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) is one of the most moderate legislators in the U.S. Senate. Her proposal would require a temporary debt ceiling increase, an opening of the federal government, and a repeal on the medical device tax. The president rejected the proposal because it would advocate more gridlock once the deadline occurs.
What the president wants is a clean budget resolution and a no strings attached debt ceiling increase.
The Republicans want concessions. They want spending cuts. BIG SPENDING CUTS.
They want to repeal the healthcare law. Even though its a law and they've wasted too much time on this, they won't admit defeat, the Republicans continue on this onward path to their political destruction.
Senator John McCain (R-AZ), Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC), Senator Rob Portman (R-OH), Senator Bob Crocker (R-TN), Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) are the usual suspects on GOP Sundays.
They were worried about the impact of the political party itself. The Republicans fear that they could piss off their constituents if they take aim at Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) or give the president a win.
Sometimes, I wish the Democrats would get their message out there more. It's been swept through the Republican talking points of a perceived "liberal media bias."
Republicans could lose the House of Representatives. The CRUZade by the controversial senator has jeopardized the opportunities of Republicans to pick up seats in politically conservative states where a Democrat is in danger of losing.
