Don Lemon: [Black Folks] Were Safe Under NYPD's Stop & Frisk Policy!

CNN anchor pissed off Black America with his endorsement of stop-and-frisk policies by law enforcement.

On the Tom Joyner Radio show, CNN anchor Don Lemon delivers the Black perspective in America.

This week's edition of his Black perspective may have pissed off listeners. It may eventually cost him a place on the legendary radio host show.

CNN's Don Lemon is a very successful Black journalist. He is an openly gay news anchor who was a victim of rape when he was a child. He overcame his terrible ordeal to become a well respected journalist and talk show host.

His endorsement of the NYPD's controversial stop and frisk policy is a slap in the face to the hundreds of individuals being stopped without probable cause.

I am guessing that Lemon was discussing his take on the Barneys situation in which a 19-year old college student was stopped by undercover NYPD officers after he purchased a high end belt from the luxury department store.

Even media mogul Jay-Z was caught into this situation. Barneys endorsed his products and namesake last year and many agitators in the junk food media are calling for Jay-Z to renounce his support.

Jay-Z on his part told the media that even though he disagrees with the handling of the matter, why should he end a relationship with a company that helps him motivate young people become entrepreneurs?

He doesn't support stop-and-frisk, but should he just stop everything because of every incident in New York. He wants to help but boycotts and renouncing companies aren't helpful.

Somehow Lemon said that police were not always very respectful of the people they stopped, but that tampering with the "formula that has reduced crime in New York City" could be very dangerous.

Tom Joyner, a nationally syndicated radio host.
"The question is, would you rather be politically correct or safe and alive?" he concluded.

Black, Latino or practicing Muslim are often profiled by law enforcement as "natural born criminals".

The NYPD faced criticism last month due to the incident in which a group of motorcyle riders attacked a man and his family after the man ran over a cyclist. Some of the riders were undercover agents. One even participated in brutally attacking the man.

Lemon's comments come in a long line of criticism of Black America.

He touched off a firestorm when endorsed Bill-O's rant about how Black leaders (President Barack Obama, Rev. Perm and Cut His Nuts Off Jackson) were "tone deaf" to Black on White crime.

Lemon believes that "US BLACK FOLK" ain't right. In his opinion, "US BLACK FOLK" are so fixated on Lil' Wayne and LaBron James. He believes that young minds are trying to be entertainers and athletes aren't the key to Black success. He believes that some Black people like Trayvon Martin's friend Rachel Jantel dialect is "too ghetto" and "not suitable for court".
Undercover police stop and frisk two Black individuals.
Lemon also called out Black America for homophobia. He believes that young men who put on this act of being "tough and not into that stuff" is coded for closet homosexuality.

Lemon's words comes as many Black conservatives and some Black liberals share their "teachable moments" in the gray area.

I don't agree with the statement of Lemon when it comes to the stop and frisk policy. I don't want to be profiled for being Black.

I believe that law enforcement profiling people of color is wrong. I understand that if I am in a bad neighborhood or associate with unlawful individuals, it invites itself to being profiled.

I agree law enforcement and the Black community are like distant cousins. We need to work on the relationship so that Black men don't always fear the sirens or the light. I don't want to be a resident of the iron college.

But in no way I want my freedoms violated by a law enforcement officer if he has no probable cause to do so.

Around 2008, Tom Joyner fired Tavis Smiley from the program after he was making too many criticism of then candidate Barack Obama. Smiley is one of the harshest critics of President Barack Obama from the left. He and Dr. Cornel West have openly attacked the president for not doing much for the Black community.

They unfortunately give Black Republicans like Herman Cain, David Webb, Allen West, Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), Jesse Lee Peterson, Alveda King, C.L. Bryant, and Deenen Borelli the hyperbolic talking points about President Barack Obama not caring about Black people.

These folks have missed the point over 32 years ago. Maybe they need to look back to the 1980s when supply side economics were passed in Congress and signed by The Gipper.

That was the beginning of the gap between rich and poor. Yeah, it may have been a great economy for some, but in the 1980s, the poor and needy became the drug abusers. The poor and needy fought for their share.

It sparked the global outbreak of AIDS. It created the crack/cocaine and heroin epidemic.

This continues today. It hasn't changed and it won't change until we get lawmakers who can relate to the Black community. Instead of electing Democrats and Republicans, how about we elected rational people who understand the plight of all Americans.

The Gipper (Ronald Reagan) created the mess and Barack Obama is trying to clean it up.

The Politics Of Love!

Bill de Blasio is America's mayor. The new mayor of New York City celebrates a huge victory with his wife, Chirlane McCray. They been together since the 1990s. McCray is openly bisexual.

Hey, we've covered the closely watched political races in Virginia and New York City.

Did you know that two of the candidates running were married to Black women?

Well that's something I want to share with you here on Journal de la Reyna. Me and S. Baldwin have talked about women of color for a long time. The junk food media will be looking forward to meeting the mayor's wife Ms. de Blasio.

Bill De Blasio was born Warren Wilhelm, Jr. in Manhattan, New York, the son of Maria (née De Blasio) and Warren Wilhelm. His father had German ancestry, and his maternal grandparents, Giovanni and Anna, were Italian immigrants from the city of Sant'Agata de' Goti in the province of Benevento (where his mother's surname is spelled with a capital "D" — De Blasio).

Chirlane I. McCray is a writer, poet, editor, communications professional and political figure. She has published poetry and worked in politics as a speechwriter. She is married to New York City Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio and is the mother of their two children, Chiara and Dante.

McCray met Bill de Blasio in 1991, when they both worked at New York City Hall for Mayor David Dinkins. At the time, de Blasio was the aide to a Deputy Mayor and McCray was a speechwriter. McCray and de Blasio fell in love, and in 1994, were married in Prospect Park, Brooklyn.

Asked about her sexuality, McCray has stated that she hates "labels".

In 2012, when asked about her 1979 essay, she commented: "In the 1970s, I identified as a lesbian and wrote about it. In 1991, I met the love of my life, married him."

McCray and de Blasio are the parents of two children, Chiara and Dante, and live in Park Slope, Brooklyn.

Well wishes to the new mayor of New York City.

And even though Libertarian nominee Robert Servis was roundly defeated in the race for governor in Virginia, he at least opened up about his personal life. He is married to a Black woman.

Here's some pictures of Robert Servis' wife.

Libertarian candidate Robert Sarvis and his wife Astrid.
According to his campaign website, Robert Sarvis is of mixed-race (White and half-Chinese) and open-minded (supports gay marriage and marijuana legalization). He is well-educated and technologically savvy.

Astrid Servis is a pediatrician originally from Greenville, Mississippi. They are raising two beautiful children in Annandale, Virginia.

Many Republicans blame Robert Servis for being a spoiler in the election. He pulled 8% of the general election vote. The vote could have made a difference in Tea Party endorsed candidate Ken Cuccinelli's bid for the governor's mansion. The Republicans have big problems trying to incorporate people of color into their party.

The only Republican of color in nationally elected office is Tim Scott, the U.S. Senator from South Carolina.

MY PERSONAL TAKE ON INTERRACIAL LOVE

Now I am single. I've been on social networking websites like Facebook, POF, Badoo and OKCupid for dating and social hook ups.

Color doesn't matter to me. As long as the woman loves me for who I am, then I am satisfied with her. I don't discriminate against a person's race when it comes to relationships.

However whenever I see these profiles on the social networks from some saying they don't date "INSERT RACE", I shake my head with disgust.

Single individuals have the right to say their interest in dating. That's perfectly fine. But to say "I DON'T DATE [INSERT RACE]" will guarantee a lifetime of being single.

I understand some don't like overweight people and a particular race. It's understandable. But that shouldn't be a reason for not dating that person. You're negativity will ensure you failure with love.

I mean could it be simple as pie if you just ignore the messages and not engage in contact with the person who you're not suited to. That's if you have such a strong disliking towards that person.

Why on earth would you create a dating profile if not interested in the various individuals who could be your suitor?

Conservative Agitators Refuse To Accept Defeat!

Conservatives are pissed that the establishment didn't aid Tea Party backed candidate Ken Cuccinelli in his failed bid for governor of Virginia. Cuccinelli in defeat has the Rick Santorum smug.

Now that Terry McAuliffe was elected to be the governor of Virginia, many conservatives believe that the Republican challenger Ken Cuccinelli's defeat was a classic OBAMA (or perhaps a CLINTON) set up.

Because they showed up to help a fellow Democrat win. And even though the polls showed a narrow victory, McAuliffe actually "lost". The junk food media said he had a huge lead, but as soon as President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden showed up, his double point lead shrunk.

Wow, they're saying that if the third party candidate wasn't in the race, Cuccinelli would have won.

Somehow it's believed that if third party candidate manages to strip away a crucial block of voters, the top-tier nominee loses.

So this is what the bitter losers of this election think. They're blaming President Barack Obama for their badly prepared candidate for governor.

The Republican infighting will hand the Democrats victories in the U.S. Midterms.

Getting news off The Fizzle through That Guy Who Throw Shit To The Wall's website, some notable conservative agitators are fumed that Cuccinelli was defeated. The conservative agitators think that a former Obama bundler's contribution to a third party candidate chipped away the Republican nominee's support.

The defeated Cuccinelli and his supporters blame Libertarian nominee Robert Sarvis for their loss. I mean, Sarvis is a conservative who believes in the mindset of perennial loser Ron Paul. That block of Republicans didn't want the bombastic (in your face) nonsense that Cuccinelli provided to Virginia.

Even the racists in the political party can't stomach E.W. Jackson as his running mate. Even though there's a separate election for the lieutenant governor, the notion of having a Black extremist as second banana is too much for Republicans to swallow. So that's probably why it's a loss for Cuccinelli.

In the matter of being a registered political party voter supporting an opposing party: There's nothing wrong with it. 

I mean somehow it's a sin for a Republican to vote for a Democrat and vise versa. Because no one told me that I had to follow the party line when I want to vote in an election. I mean if a Democrat wanted to vote for a Republican, it's perfectly fine. Chris Christie, the Republican governor of New Jersey won. He won with a portion of Democratic support. Despite being a conservative Republican, Christie managed to win over hearts when Hurricane Sandy landed on the beaches. And he worked with the opposition to get things done.
Obama warned Republicans not to listen these agitators. They once again handed Republicans another defeat.
Refusing to acknowledge that the Republicans aren't popular. Not understanding that Americans who are registered Republicans disapproved of the government shutdown. I am guessing Republican voters are tired of the bitter fights over Obamacare. Even some Republicans need a portion of the safety net and their elected leaders continue to cut and cut the very stability of the economy.

Yeah, President Barack Obama isn't popular as he was during the first term, but he's a whole lot better than House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

The conservative agitators didn't understand that Cuccinelli was tied to the governor Bob McDonnell.

During his last term, McDonnell was in a scandal that could sent him to federal time out

Virginian voters knew that Terry McAuliffe wasn't the first choice. But since Republicans aided and abetted in the government shutdown, it cost them a chance to hold on the governor's mansion.

No Longer A Blockbuster Night!

Blockbuster logo
Blockbuster Video will close all American and Canadian stores by the end of December.

Once the nation's largest video rental service, Blockbuster went through a whole lot of changes.

Unfortunately, it's not working for the better.

You can't make it a Blockbuster Night anymore!

It's announced that Blockbuster will end domestic services for all its stores worldwide. That means it will close all stand alone stores effective immediately. It will also mean that current owner DISH Network will take the unusual step of absorbing the remaining portion of the company into a new entity.

With the rise of Netflix, Hulu and YouTube, many people weren't spending money in the DVD and VHS rental stores.

Yeah, VHS is so like so long ago, people.

Blockbuster tried to compete with it and lost.
There were less than 200 stores left by Blockbuster. They will be closed soon.
Now all the United States and Canadian stores are going to be officially closed by the end of December.

All international stores will be operational but with limited naming rights and partial support from DISH Network. It means that the independent franchises will switch names.

Kind of sad though, Blockbuster use to have over 11 locations in my community.

Family Video is now the undisputed video rental service in the United States.

Republicans Panic: Dem Sweeps!

Virginians elected a Democrat as their governor

They won 1 of 3 contest for this off year election. The city of New York welcomes Bill de Blasio, the first Democratic mayor in 20 years.

The Democrat landslides Republican Joe Lhota in a race that centered around the "I'M NOT MICHAEL BLOOMBERG" theme. Bloomberg, a former Republican who became an independent won three terms as New York's mayor. During his three terms, he became an advocate for gun control, curbing sugar and salt in restaurants, an increase on fares, an increase on cigarettes, curbing obesity in children, NYPD's stop and frisk policy (and Muslim extremist counter intelligence).

Bill de Blasio.jpg
Bill de Blasio, New York's new mayor.
Some of these endorsements from Bloomberg were extremely controversial.

In a fiercely contested Democratic primary, former Congressman Anthony Weiner was hoping to make a political comeback. All of that soured when it was revealed that he was sexting a woman his privates. Yeah, the very same stuff that drummed him out of Congress.

In the closely watched race in the new BELLWEATHER state of Virginia, Terry McAuliffe is now the governor-elect. McAuliffe defeats Ken Cuccinelli, the state's attorney general. It became one of the most contentious races out there. Both candidates were politically weak but McAuliffe managed to tie Cuccinelli with the extremist within the Republican Party (aka TEA PARTY).

The Democratic Party is getting their groove back. Despite the Republican onslaught against the Affordable Care Act's website, it didn't help them win. The government shutdown really put damages on the brand.

The stallmigos Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz tried to helped Cuccinelli but failed.

Perennial losers Mitt Romney and Ron Paul's coat tails didn't help either.
I'll drink to that! - Gov-Elect Terry McAuliffe.
Republicans can at least say they have Governor Chris Christie (incumbent, governor-elect) as a victory. But you know how Republicans feel about Christie. They hate him because he embraced President Barack Obama during Superstorm Sandy.

Republicans still searching for that rainbow!

They can't find that niche. They have no real leaders in the party.

President Barack Obama warned Republicans that supporting these extremists will result to defeat. King Hippo (Rush Limbaugh), That Guy Who Helped Obama Win (Sean Hannity), That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall (Matt Drudge), and Loserville (Fox News) catered to extremists.

Don't be surprised to see Democrats lining up opponents that could defeat the Republican controlled House of Representatives.



The BIG Christie!

Not saying that President Barack Obama endorsed Chris Christie for governor, but his presence in New Jersey was very sparse because he didn't campaign for the Democratic nominee.

Love 'em or hate 'em, Republican governor Chris Christie landslides the Democrat Barbara Buono in the heavily Democratic state of New Jersey.

A few weeks ago, the former Newark mayor Cory Booker successfully became a U.S. Senator after landsliding the controversial Republican Steve Lonegan.

This victory may give the junk food media a dose of presidential fever!

Ciara: Marriage Is In My Future!

Entertainers Ciara and Future are planning on jumping the broom.

Pop singer Ciara is engaged to rising rap act Future. The couple announced last month of their engagement at her birthday bash.

Ciara Princess Harris is an entertainer who was brought to the spotlight by L.A. Reid and rap producer Jazze Pha. Originally a girl from Austin, Texas, she traveled around the world during her childhood, eventually moving to Atlanta, Georgia where she joined the girl group Hearsay. However the group disbanded after having differences, it was at this time Ciara was noticed for her song-writing abilities.

Ciara released her debut studio album Goodies, which spawned three hit singles: "Goodies", "1, 2 Step", and "Oh". The album was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and earned her four nominations at the 48th Grammy Awards. She released her second studio album, Ciara: The Evolution, in 2006 which spawned the hit singles "Get Up", "Promise", and "Like a Boy".

The album reached number one in the US and was certified platinum. Her third studio album Fantasy Ride, released in 2009, was considerably less successful than Ciara's first two albums. However, it produced the worldwide top-ten hit "Love Sex Magic" featuring Justin Timberlake, which earned her a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals.

The following year, Ciara released her fourth studio album Basic Instinct, which was met with low sales and continued a downward trend in her commercial success.
Welcome to the mainstream. Future is the most sought after rapper.
Ciara reunited with L.A. Reid and signed a new record deal with Epic Records, and is preparing to release her upcoming self-titled fifth studio album, Ciara, which is preceded by the top-ten R&B/Hip-Hop hit "Body Party." The single was produced by Mike WILL Made It, one of the country's hottest rap producers.

Ciara has dated some high profile acts before she got with the Atlanta based rapper who rose to fame on his autotune hooks and gruffy rap style. Future (Nayvadius Damon [Cash] Wilburn) is one of the most sought after entertainers.

He was once affiliated with the Dungeon Family before he broke out on his own. After releasing a series of moderately successful mixtapes between 2010 and 2011, Future signed a major label deal and in April 2012 released his debut album Pluto, to positive reviews. The album spawned five singles, all of which charted on the Billboard Hot 100. The album was later re-released in November as Pluto 3D.

Future is currently working on his sophomore album Honest (originally Future Hendrix), which will be released on November 26, 2013.
Delighted: Ciara showed off her engagement ring for the first time as she hosted teh Moet Rose Lounge Houston on Monday
Future gave pop singer Ciara a 15-carat engagement ring.
The Freeband Gang, which features Future, Mexico Rann, Slice 9, Test, Casino and Young Scooter (a labelmate who is affiliated with Gucci Mane's 1017 Brick Squad).

The Freebandz Gang released two mixtapes since the beginning of the year.

Future has notable collaborations with his fiance,  Lil' Wayne, T.I., Miley Cyrus, B.o.B, Rick Ross, Drake, 2 Chainz, Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka Flame, Juicy J, Busta Rhymes, The Game, Snoop Dogg, R. Kelly, Twista, Rocko, Fat Joe, Ludacris and Justin Bieber.

Future endorses the controversial Molly craze that has his stans popping ecstasy and drinking codeine flavored Sprite.

The entertainers are open about their relationship.

The rapper, who has been dating Ciara since January, sprang a surprise proposal on her as they celebrated her birthday and  got down on one knee after producing a stunning 15-carat diamond ring.

Their publicist Chris Chambers confirmed the news to the Associated Press, saying she was already celebrating her 28th birthday in New York when he proposed.

Future designed the stunning piece of jeweler with jewelers from Avianne & Co and named it Past Present and Future Emerald Cut Diamond Ring.

The ring, which features emerald diamonds surrounded by diamonds cost just over half a million dollars.

Did you know that Ciara and Future are actually tall entertainers?

Ciara stands at 5'10".

Future stands at 6'5".

I wonder if they could have been basketball players back in their non-celebrity days.

Ciara appears on Epic Records.
Future appears on A1/Freebandz/Epic Records.

Unnecessary Roughness!

Dirty plays got this asshole suspended from his team.

The controversy with the NFL.

The AFC team the Miami Dolphins had sent a player his walking papers after he force a teammate off the team after constant harassment.

Richie Incognito got his indefinite suspension after he pissed Jonathon Martin off. The reports of this asshole bullying Martin with threats. Incognito also sent some racist text messages to Martin. Incognito has garnered attention over the years for perceived dirty play amongst NFL players, coaches, and fans. He has been alleged to have gouged player's eyes, punched players, and made illegal tackles on a regular basis.

ESPN reported on Incognito's alleged role in harassment of teammate Jonathan Martin. Incognito had reached out to Martin after he'd left the team, and the two had an amicable text exchange, in which Incognito claims Martin said he did not blame him or his teammates personally.

Incognito subsequently expressed outrage over the report, going on Twitter to demand that ESPN's Adam Schefter "Stop slandering my name."

NFL's bad boy!
Schefter and Chris Mortensen reported on ESPN on November 3 that Martin fears "retribution, primarily from Incognito."

The article goes on to state that "the matter is absolutely under review and preliminarily identifies Incognito as an alleged offender in multiple incidents of possible harassment and bullying over the past two seasons, with Martin not the only victim." Schefter and Mortensen also cited unnamed sources that one of the significant allegations is an incident during the summer of 2013 when Incognito got Martin to contribute $15,000 to help finance a trip to Las Vegas by a group of Dolphins, even though Martin preferred not to, "fearing the consequences if he did not hand over the money."

On November 3, Mike Garafolo reported on Fox Sports 1 that Incognito is alleged to have sent Martin threatening and racially charged messages. He also reported that the team and league—rather than the players' association—has been asked to investigate.
Jonathon Martin got tired of the horseplay and decided to leave.
That same day, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reported that Incognito "has had to be reprimanded in the past for his actions toward team employees," citing an unnamed source.

La Canfora and Schefter subsequently reported statements from an unnamed source that the team and the league are now in possession of highly disturbing texts and voicemails in which Incognito used a racial slur against Martin, and disturbing text and voice exchanges including "a reference to tracking down members of Martin's family and harming them" and even threatening to kill Martin. According to La Canfora, Incognito's alleged harassment of Martin had gotten to the point that Martin actually feared for his safety, and felt that leaving the team was his only option.

Just hours after the Dolphins' game against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Dolphins suspended Incognito indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team. The Dolphins also asked the NFL to join their own internal investigation of the matter.

According to Schefter, the final straw for the Dolphins was a highly graphic voicemail Incognito left in April 2013, in which Incognito used racial slurs against Martin and made threats against Martin and his mother.

“Hey, wassup, you half n—– piece of s—,” Incognito told Martin. “I saw you on Twitter, you been training 10 weeks. [I want to] s— in your f—ing mouth. [I’m going to] slap your f—ing mouth. [I’m going to] slap your real mother across the face. F— you, you’re still a rookie. I’ll kill you.”

Until then, the Dolphins had publicly maintained the charges against Incognito were pure speculation.

Schefter said that as late as the afternoon of November 3, the Dolphins didn't even know the voicemail even existed. Within hours of hearing the tape, Schefter said, Incognito had been suspended.

The next day, a Dolphins source told The Miami Herald that Incognito will never play another down for the Dolphins again, and that the team intends to cut ties with him at the earliest opportunity.

A recap of why he became the "MOST DIRTIEST PLAYER".

He was with the AFC's St. Louis Rams for a moment before his antics got him booted.

BREAKING: SHOOTING AT NEW JERSEY MALL!

Westfield Garden State Mall shooting.
Breaking tonight a tragic shooting in New Jersey. What is confirmed is that President Barack Obama and New Jersey governor Chris Christie were notified about the situation. 

There's no confirmation of injuries or death as of yet. We have no confirmation.

There's a report of a gunman firing off a rifle at Garden State Plaza, a major mall near Newark.

Police in Paramus, N.J., are searching for a gunman who reportedly opened fire at the Nordstrom department store on the second level of the shopping mall just after 9 p.m. on Monday.

The Westfield Garden State Plaza. There was a mass shooting at the mall tonight.
The gunman was wearing some sort of body armor. Mall workers told Patch that the gunman was wearing black leather pants and jacket, a backpack and a motorcycle helmet with the visor opened.

Again, we have a mass shooting in America. The junk food media rushes to the scene and covers it.

But one thing that never gets covered is the firearm debate. Since President Barack Obama won his reelection, we experience the Sandy Hook massacre. 

The Chris Donner murder spree. 

The brutal shooting of Christopher Lane. 

The reaction to the George Zimmerman trial. 

The brutal shooting of Haydia Pendleton.

The murder of 13 at the DC Navy Yard.

The shooting at the Los Angeles International Airport.

The Boston Marathon bombing and shooting.

And of course numerous shootings that never made the junk food media.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to those lost in these senseless tragedies.

Virginia Governor Race Could Predict The Midterms!

Virginia's race for governor could shape how the U.S. Midterms go!

Ken Cuccinelli is hoping that President Barack Obama's horrible rollout of  the healthcare law and low job approval could help him win a trip to the governor's mansion in Richmond. His opponent Terry McAuliffe is hoping to tag Cuccinelli to the Tea Party, supporters of the government shutdown.

Both candidates equally are poor campaigners but somehow, McAuliffe is looking likely to be a winner in this race.

Republicans can breathe a sigh of relief, New Jersey governor Chris Christie is likely to win this race in the politically Democratic state.

But Virginia on the other hand is trending BLUE. The state has never voted for the party in power when it came to the governor's race. Since 1977, it's been a mixture of one of two members of the opposing party in the Senate and one party in the governorship.

Cuccinelli is the current Attorney General of Virginia and the Republican candidate for Governor of Virginia in the 2013 Virginia gubernatorial election. He was elected as Virginia's 46th Attorney General in the November 2009 general election. From 2002 until January 16, 2010 he was a Republican member of the Senate of Virginia, representing the 37th district in Fairfax County. He holds degrees in engineering, law and commercial policy, and co-founded a small law firm.

McAuliffe was chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 2001 to 2005, was co-chairman of President Bill Clinton's 1996 re-election campaign, and was chairman of Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign. He was an unsuccessful candidate for the Democratic nomination in the 2009 Virginia gubernatorial election and is the Democratic nominee.

Cuccinelli is hoping Libertarian minded Republicans ignore Robert Sarvis.

Sarvis is an American politician, lawyer, software developer, and businessman. He is currently the Libertarian nominee for Governor of Virginia in the 2013 election. He was formerly a Republican. He decided to run under the Libertarian Party.

Cuccinelli is a controversial figure. McAuliffe managed to tie him to the extremists wing of the Republican Party.
Cuccinelli's running mate is a Black extremist.
Some of the words stated by the Republican nominee have made the rounds through the junk food media and many aren't liking it.

For one he is against the healthcare law. He was one of the first state attorney generals to file a lawsuit in federal court. He's anti-abortion. He's not in support of gay marriage. He supports the Confederate flag being held upon the state capitol.

His running mate E.W. Jackson is an extremist and of course, he's BLACK. He was hoping to use Jackson to appeal to Black voters. Jackson wants "us Black folk" to wake up. That's already turned off the Republicans who view Black lawmakers in a negative light.

That's probably why votes are siphoned off to the Libertarian nominee.

Republicans are pushing Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) his dad, former presidential candidate, perennial loser Ron Paul, Wisconsin governor Scott Walker and Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) for the last ditch push to win this crucial state.

McAuliffe managed to secure big endorsements. President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Former president Bill Clinton and his wife former first lady/senator/secretary of state Hillary Clinton endorse him.

In the last days of the campaign, President Barack Obama pushed supporters to vote early and help Virginia go to McAuliffe.

Barack Obama carried Virginia in 2008 and 2012. Previously George W. Bush carried it in 2000 and 2004.

Could Virginia be the new bellweather state?

Maybe.

People always figured that Florida, Ohio, New Hampshire and Iowa are the bellweather states.

Conservatives Rejoice: Food Stamps Are Cut!

Cuts in the SNAP program could affect families.

And who says the Republicans care about the American people?

I remember that pompous asshole Newt Gingrich was at the Republican presidential debates saying that President Barack Obama is the "food stamp president".

Why?

Because he wants to help the middle class and the poor eat food.

Yeah, that portion of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act that advocated benefits to the Supplemental Nutrient Assistance Program is expired.

A family of four who earns less than $15,000 a year will receive a decrease in benefits.

Who knows what could happen in the coming weeks?

You know why most people vote against levies for schools and libraries?

It's because it raises the revenue on a taxpayer's property. Most state governments with Republican lawmakers cut financial aid to education and safety. And they believe that public school are indoctrinating young minds into becoming criminals. So they push for charter schools and prayer in school so they can force children.

Did you know that the SNAP program aids in feeding schoolchildren who are poor?

You probably didn't know. The racist right is so obsessed with the notion that 47 million Americans (I am guessing children) are on food stamps. They rejoicing over food stamps being cut.

Some asshole Republican congressman from Indiana is pushing for deep cuts to the food stamp program.

Congressman Marlin Stutzman (R-Indiana) presented a bill that was passed by the House. It's not likely to get through the Senate. The president threatened a veto if it was to be passed.

Yo, Obama dissed us! So we gonna diss his core base! - Congressman Marlin Stutzman (R-Indiana)
The Indiana politico was on the news saying that "he wasn't going to be disrespected" by President Barack Obama. He and many of his fellow Tea Party lawmakers believe the key to growing an economy is austerity cuts. What Republicans want is basically separate the food stamp program away from a farm bill.

With the rising food and gas prices, people are turning to food stamps, food banks and government assistance to keep themselves from landing in the homeless shelter.

Without a safety net, these people will rob and kill those who have the luxuries of having food in the refrigerator or in the pantry. They would steal fuel, water, bread and meat to keep feeding their families. And yet, these Republicans and their conservative allies are thinking the poor are the reasons for the economic recession. Perhaps those who complain about the poor, should walk a day in that person's shoes!

The Republican Party and its allies in the conservative movement are heartless when it comes to the lower and middle class. In their warped minds, the lower class and those who are too poor are stealing from the taxpayers by accepting food stamps, welfare and necessaries.

Lindsey Graham: I'll Stall Nominees Until I Get My Benghazi Answers!

Annoying senator returns to GOP Sundays with Benghazi Fever!

CBS News ran a story about the Libyan consulate tragedy last year and the Republicans still demanding answers to how four Americans being killed in Benghazi.

On GOP Sundays, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) makes his umpteenth appearance on Loserville Sunday. The annoying senator wants to block every nomination that the president presents.

And why is that?

Because the annoying ass senator wants "ANSWERS" from everyone at the U.S. Consulate. Meaning leaking information about CIA agents so their cover could be blown, and Graham will bitch about that next.

Graham, John McCain (R-AZ), Rand Paul (R-KY), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), Mike Lee (R-UT) are gadflies. They have nothing but contempt for obstruction. And of course, they continue to get airtime. They have no accomplishments but yet get the most airtime to bitch about President Barack Obama.

On September 11, 2012, a terrorist attack occurred. Four Americans including U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens were killed by an extremist group with ties to al-Qaeda.

Under the cover of an online video mocking the Prophet Mohammad, extremists managed to sneak into the consulate and use rocket propelled grenades to attack.

This incident happened in the middle of the U.S. presidential election. Perennial loser Mitt Romney wanted to make a case for chest beating and got his ass handed to him by the media. It got him looking like a trigger happy buffoon.

Since the incident, Republicans continue to waste taxpayer money to find answers to a tragedy they've concluded.

Man I wish they were like this 12 years ago when the worst tragedy on American soil happened?

I kind of wish they cover all embassy attacks and find ways to prevent these incidents from happening again.

Wow, wondering how they would feel if they leak the names of a CIA agent in the middle of a clandestine mission?
