Stallmigo Sues Barack Obama!

Hypocrite sues the president over NSA. Stallmigo Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) supports the NSA.

The Kentucky stallmigo is such a nuisance. He has no legislative accomplishments and yet he, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Mike Lee continue to be in the headlines. Conservatives rally behind a bunch of unaccomplished legislators who get paid a 6-figure salary to bitch about how President Barack Obama going against the U.S. Constitution.

Stallmigo Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) has decided to take his fight against Obama to court. It deals with the National Security Administration. Paul claims that the NSA is spying on Americans.

This lawsuit allows the American people to join together in a grassroots manner against President Obama’s NSA with a sitting U.S. Senator at the helm. Two prior class action lawsuits were filed in June. Classes have not yet been certified in those cases.

The focus of the lawsuit will be how the NSA's actions violate the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution.

The lawsuit will target the NSA’s metadata program.

President Barack Obama does get really annoyed with Republicans. Especially when they distract the public with issues that have nothing to do with the economy.

Via Paul’s campaign website, more than 300,000 Americans have already indicated they will sign up for the suit when it is officially filed in D.C. District court. Americans can join the lawsuit by visiting Paul’s website.

The class action suit from Sen. Paul against the president comes on the heels of two different conflicting court rulings in individual suits against the NSA, with one court ruling that the NSA was within its bounds to spy on

Americans shortly after a different court ruled the NSA’s actions were unconstitutional. The conflicting decisions all but guarantee an eventual Supreme Court-level case on the matter.

He considers himself to be a Tea Party follower, who wants smaller government.

Paul has said that he identifies as both a "constitutional conservative" and a "libertarian conservative."

Since the leaking of NSA documents from Edward Snowden, the kookspiracy is all upset over this.

They want the president to be impeached over this.

I am guessing these so called American patriots are willing to sign up for Blogger, YouTube, Facebook, SnapChat, Twitter, all the online dating websites, their favorite email service, Netflix, their phone contracts and online employment agencies.

Obviously their information is tracked by the NSA when signing up for a job or looking on your favorite social networking website.

They're just paranoid over things that has nothing to do with what the NSA is doing.

It's just another example of extremism from the lunatics who are so determined to undermine President Barack Obama at every whim.

Understand it's about race. Not about the U.S. Constitution.

The Stallmigos are a bunch of right wing agitators who rose to power by being more stupider than Palin Da Ass.

Rand Paul is no patriot. He's an annoying serial agitator, just like his father!

Looking U.S. Up In Texas!

States are seeing an increase in population. The country's southern region saw rapid growth and the Midwest and Northeast seen some real decrease or stagnant growth.

The U.S. population for a time being has slowed down. The states such as Florida, Colorado, Arizona, North Carolina, Texas and Virginia gains population while Ohio, Illinois, West Virginia, Rhode Island, Pennsyslvania, Minnesota, and Michigan saw a decrease in population.

Houston population 4.3 million people.

That means that Texas will likely get three new congressional seats in the 2020 U.S. Census.

Florida is on track to surpass New York as the third most populated state.

Dallas

Ohio loses a seat and North Carolina gains a seat. Ohio the election bellweather is the state that most politicos visit during a presidential election. This state determines the outcome of American elections.

Ohio is the state that went to Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama. The winner of Ohio managed to secure a second term with exception of George H.W. Bush.


The Los Angeles Times reports that population growth in Southern and Western states, led by Texas, California and Florida, accounted for more than 80% of new residents nationwide over the last three years, surpassing the Northeast and Midwest in the demographic contest that plays a key role in determining states' political clout.

San Antonio

Population estimates are eagerly watched by state officials because the figures determine the flow of money into many federal programs and the number of seats each state receives in the House of Representatives. That number gets readjusted each decade.

The new data reinforce a trend that has seen Southern states' growth outpace that of the Northeast and Midwest. Texas, which gained four seats in the last round of congressional reapportionment, lagged behind only North Dakota and the District of Columbia in the rate of population growth since the 2010 census.

California, with 38,332,521 residents, and Texas, with 26,448,193, remain the nation's most populous states.

New York narrowly maintained its third-place spot with 19,651,127 residents, compared with Florida's 19,552,860, as of July 1. But the Sunshine State will soon surpass New York because its population is growing about three times faster, according to the census estimates, which are based on data measuring births, deaths and migration.

Austin

As a percent of population, California's growth again outpaced the national average over the last year, rising 0.9%, or 332,643 new residents, compared with 0.7% nationwide.

But in raw numbers, Texas added the most residents, 387,397.

An improving state economy in the second half of 2013 may augur faster growth in California, but Texas still has an advantage because of its energy-based economy and a population that is trending younger.


Texas is "going to keep growing a cumulative advantage in redistricting, until the oil economy turns [down] again," said Dowell Myers, a demography expert and professor at USC's Price School of Public Policy. "But California's adding jobs more rapidly now than Texas. So probably next year I would bet that California's share of the growth is up a little bit more."

North Dakota is the nation's fastest-growing state, driven by a thriving oil and gas industry. North Dakota's population stood at 723,393 on July 1, according to the census data, a 3.1% increase from 2012. Since the 2010 census, North Dakota's population has grown 7.6%, far outpacing the national rate of 2.4%.

Fort Worth

Kevin Iverson, manager of the North Dakota Census Office, says the biggest population growth has been among 19- to 34-year-olds, primarily through migration.

"The economic winds have clearly favored North Dakota," Iverson said, attributing it mainly to the energy boom but also growth in the manufacturing and agriculture sectors. "The real question begins to become, to what extent can you continue to grow?"

Population in the District of Columbia also grew at a sustained clip, rising 2.1% from 2012 to 2013 to 646,449. Utah grew the next fastest, at a rate of 1.6%, followed by Colorado and Texas at 1.5% and Nevada at 1.3%.

West Virginia and Maine saw slight population declines in the last year. Pennsylvania, New Mexico, Vermont and Illinois posted the slowest population growth, all at or near a tenth of 1 percentage point.

The national population stood at 316,128,839 on July 1, an increase of 2.3 million. But the annual growth rate nationally continues to lag behind where it was in the mid-2000s before the economic downturn.

Lynching Obama Would Be A Joy, Says Conservative Group!

More right wing hate from the conservative movement.

You know that threatening the President of The United States is a CLASS THREE felony. Did you know that if you're thinking about even attempting to harm the president, vice president, their families or the U.S. currency, you will deal with the United States Secret Service.

Under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Secret Service's job is to protect the president, the vice president, their families, candidates who run for the office of president and diplomatic leaders. They are responsible for dealing with counterfeit currency, credit card fraud and money laundering.

Ironic that many of this people here have died by firearms.

Usually the mentally insane would threaten the president. Over 1,000 threats domestically have been made to Barack Obama, the first African-American president. Usually the threats comes from someone who perceives the government as an enemy or imaginary threat upon this person's well-being.

It happens in elections. When the candidate you like loses, you go into a state of depression and denial. Some will overcome the denial. Others will react with rage and vent frustrations online and even attempt at trying the unthinkable.

The Raw Stiory reports that a conservative Facebook group this week suggested that the lynching of President Barack Obama should be made into a “national holiday.”

Real laugh riot.

Earlier this week, Examiner.com’s Robert Sobel pointed out that the Facebook group “America the next generation” had posted a photo of the president in a noose with the caption “The making of a National Holiday.” The image was apparently a composite of Obama’s head and a frame from the leaked video of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein being executed.

After some discussion between members of the “America the next generation” group and criticism from other Facebook users, the photo was eventually taken down. Some group members feared that lynching the president could make him into a “martyr.”

“OK by are own choice out of respect of our regular followers that requested us to remove the post with the noose around Obamas head,” the group wrote on New Year’s Eve. “[W]e did so out of Respect to them and we will take the high road!”

So if you're an American who voted for Barack Obama. So according to the people at this gun show, you're too stupid to own a firearm. That's real classy from the very people who claim the president doesn't own a firearm.

In a follow-up post, the group included a photo of former President George W. Bush with a noose around his neck “for you winey liberals that said it didn’t exist… like I said your double standards are pathetic!”

According to American television writer Steve Marmel, Facebook had refused to take action and remove the photo of President Obama with a noose around his neck because it “does not violate community standards.”

Some of the controversial pictures of President Barack Obama and his family are found through outlets such as AddictingInfo, Public Shaming and MyRightWingDad.net

The right wing bank robber who was shot dead after attacking police officers.

I wanted to cover the cross state bank robber who was shot dead last week. He was in a Mississippi bank when he ambushed two Tupelo officers. He killed one and injured another. He was spotted in Arizona where he was later killed by the Phoenix police. He was wanted in an armed robbery of an Atlanta bank customer after a failed attempt at robbing the bank. Then the FBI got involved when he was wanted in the killing of officer Gale Stauffer.

Mario Edward Garnett age 40 is an example of these type of individuals who put on the internet this trash.

He was one of the many extremists plotting for a race war against those who don't follow the American White traditionalist views of no gubmint handouts, no women's rights,  no gay marriage, no Muslim worship, no Black president and no complaining about us being "real racist!"

Ohio Man Fights Off Robber!

Ohio man fought off robber.

While I worked my two jobs this week, I missed the local junk food media news. There's one story that went viral across the internet.

An 90-year old man fights off an armed robber at his laundromat in Dayton, Ohio. It turns out that owner George Hicks was knocked out once before. He decided to strap up.

It's been a local laundromat over at the east end.  It's been a part of this dying city. One of the very few local business still thriving in a city ripped by economic woes.

Again, it's best to let the local law enforcement deal with these situation. Why would you want to lose your life over a few dollars or a piece of electronic?

Again, what this man did was great, but given the possibility, the crook could have easily put an end to that man's life.

Hicks owned his laundromat in Dayton for decades. He's been robbed before. Hicks had enough and purchased him a gun license and was ready for anything.

A man wearing a hoodie entered a laundromat on Monday and held up a gun demanding money from the 90-year-old owner. What he most assuredly didn't expect was the old man to take out a gun of his own and chase him out.

George Hicks was robbed once before, in 2010, and so this time he was ready. He had his gun handy and spooked the robber into leaving the laundromat.

You gotta admit that he was bold to say at least. No one got hurt and this robber will probably think the next time about trying to rob the little guy.

His laundromat sits on East Fifth Street in Dayton, Ohio. That part of town is pretty run down and its one of the fewest areas in the city that has more locally owned businesses than the west end.

Juanita Moore Passes Away!

Actress Juanita Moore (right)

It was reported this week that actress Juanita Moore passed away at age 99.

She was the fifth African American to be nominated for an Academy Award in any category, and the third in the Supporting Actress category at a time when only a single African American had won an Oscar. Her most famous role was as Annie Johnson in the movie Imitation of Life (1959).

Born in Los Angeles in 1914, Moore was a chorus girl at the Cotton Club before becoming a film extra while working in theater. After making her film debut in Pinky (1949), she had a number of bit parts and supporting roles in motion pictures through the 1950s and 1960s. However, her role in Imitation of Life (1959), a remake, as housekeeper Annie Johnson, whose daughter Sarah Jane (Susan Kohner) passes for white, won her a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She was also nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for the role.

When the two versions of Imitation of Life were released together on DVD, the earlier film was released in 1934, one of the bonus features was a new interview with Juanita Moore.

Moore continued to perform in front of the camera, with a role in the movie Disney's The Kid (2000) and guest-starring roles on television shows Dragnet, Marcus Welby, M.D., ER and Judging Amy.

On April 23, 2010, a new print of Imitation of Life (1959) was screened at the TCM Film Festival in Los Angeles, to which Moore and co-star Kohner were invited. After the screening, the two women appeared on stage for a question-and-answer session hosted by TCM's Robert Osborne. Moore and Kohner received standing ovations.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Juanita Moore.

Luda's Baby Mama Drama!

Def Jam rapper Ludacris is facing some baby mama drama!

The southern rapper was on some downtime and out nowhere he announces he's a father!

Christopher "Ludacris" Bridges is a father again. Besides his first child who he raps about on some songs, the proud father welcomes his second child to the world.

Cai Bella Bridges, the daughter of Tamika "Tammy" Fuller and rapper/actor.

There's word that Fatha Luda is trying to keep the child support at a minimum.

Throw them bows!

The report alleges Ludacris has admitted to conceiving the child during a “break” from his girlfriend, but is still looking to have paternity substantiated and a cap placed on the amount of child support he has to pay. TMZ has obtained legal papers where Ludacris claims to earn “only” $25,000 per month, which would place his monthly support payments at $1,754 under Georgia law. However, Forbes Magazine listed Ludacris’ net worth at $12 Million in 2012 as one of their “Cash Kings.”

Ludacris has one daughter named Karma from a previous relationship and the baby in question was born on December 10th of this year.

If he is actually looking to make a case that he only makes $300,000 per year, he may want to stop Instagramming Million dollar bills with the caption, “Money is attracted to me. Let’s see y’all bite this one. Ha! #nowthatsludicrous.”

According to TMZ, the “Fast & Furious” star recently sired a child with a woman named Tamika Fuller, despite being in a longterm relationship with Gabonese beauty Eudoxie Agnan.

So you know he's going to bring back attention?

Say his old nemesis, Bill-O!

Actors Reflect On James Avery's Death!

Actor James Avery passed away. He played Uncle Phil on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and The Shredder on the 1987 Mirage's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles television series.

It turns out the first day was a surprise for most in the entertainment community.

Actor James Avery, who played Uncle Phil on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air has passed away yesterday marking the first celebrity death of 2014.

His publicist and CNN confirmed that he passed away. An outpouring of sympathy came from Hollywood including his former co-star Alfonso Ribeiro, who tweeted, "I'm deeply saddened to say that James Avery has passed away. He was a second father to me. I will miss him greatly."

Avery had recently undergone open heart surgery and reportedly died from complications from the operation.

A classically trained actor and poet, Avery grew up in Atlantic City, N.J., where he was raised by a single mother. He served in the Navy during the Vietnam War and first appeared onscreen as a dancer in an uncredited role in the 1980 film "The Blues Brothers."

Avery also voiced characters for many animated series, most notably for 1987's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" as The Shredder. He also did voice acting for 1990s "Iron Man" character War Machine.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is an American television sitcom that originally aired on NBC from September 10, 1990, to May 20, 1996. The show stars Will Smith as a fictionalized version of himself, a street-smart teenager from West Philadelphia who is sent to move in with his aunt and uncle in their wealthy Bel-Air mansion, where his lifestyle often clashes with that of his relatives. The 148 episodes were broadcast over six seasons.

He was survived by his wife Barbara in 1988. He had no children of his own, but was a stepfather to his wife's son, Kevin Waters.

It's disputed about his age. According to TMZ, he was 65. But to Wikipedia, he was 68.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of James Avery.

James (Uncle Phil) Avery Dead At 68...

You'll always be remembered as Uncle Phill from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.  R.I.P., James Avery!

A Right Wing Racist View of Black Women Ten Years Ago

A Right Wing Racist's View of Black Women.

 

This sums it up about right wing racist men's views of Black women.  Is it any wonder why Black women don't date/marry/have families with nonblack men.  It's because of those backward, retrogade views of Black women.

Here's a "gem" from that racist troll, "Kyle Ranier".  This was written ten years ago at A GoodBlackMan.com website. These bigots love to troll Black websites and attack us in any way they can.  There are more trolls visiting and posting on Black websites today than they were back in 2004.  Here are his retrogade views:

"If anyone wonders why racial tensions are so high in this country, they need look no further than articles such as those youÂ’ve posted from “Disgusted White Girl” and “Black Royalty”. IÂ’m a firm believer that people make you who you are and this is a prime example of why people become prejudice. This served no purpose other than to rile both blacks and whites. That being said, youÂ’ve successfully provoked me to rebut “Black RoyaltyÂ’s” rational, not to mention his sense of history. I donÂ’t expect this to be posted since it does not flatter black women (much like “Black RoyaltyÂ’s” article does little to compliment white women), but at least I feel like IÂ’ve made an attempt to defend our women in the same public forum given to Â'Black RoyaltyÂ'”.

Dear Black Royalty,

"Let me start by saying that, I do not intend to defend “Disgusted White Girl” for her poor choice in men. If she likes men who are insecure, afraid, weak, and intimidated (your words), that’s her problem. My guess is that no white man would probably have her anyway. The fact is interracial couples always have been and always will be sneered at. To her I say if you want to play in the kitchen, shut up and be prepared to deal with the heat. As for you, although you try to portray yourself as the upper crust of black society, there is a huge difference between being “educated” and being intellectual. I think you confused the two. First, you should try using spell check and grammar check. It’s a wonderfully useful tool. And whether you intended to or not, you did “waste your precious time slandering white people”, and if a white person had written half of what you did, they’d be labeled a racist; no questions asked. So let’s test that theory.
First of all, donÂ’t assume that every white person you meet has ancestors who owned slaves. Many whites are descendants of immigrants who had very little, if anything to do with any part of it. So before you go thinking that it was the enslaved black women who saved white AmericaÂ’s taste buds and infants, think again. We donÂ’t owe them anything. Slavery was a horrible part of American history, and it happened over 300 years ago. I think itÂ’s time you all get over it and stop thinking every white person owes you something. You mention black Egyptian Queens such as Hatsepshut and Nitocris (not Nitorcris) as though they are YOUR ancestors. So are you African American or Egyptian? They are two different cultures, so pick one and stick with it. The way I see it, if you are of Egyptian descent, then YOUR ancestors enslaved the Hebrews for hundreds of years (yes, during HatsepshutÂ’s reign), so IÂ’m thinking you probably owe them some type of restitution. Besides, Hatsepshut often dressed as a male and had numerous female lovers. ThatÂ’s some role model youÂ’re invoking for black women. Maybe YOU should read your history. And if you are African American, do you think that European whites were the only ones living in caves during the Egyptian dynasties? Yes, IÂ’m sure the tribal lords in the African jungles were very busy devising the geometrics to the pyramids in 1500 B.C.
Also, I don’t know what “day” you were talking about, nor do I know what elite neighborhood you were raised, but I’m 41 years old, I don’t ever remember any “days” when young black girls were raised in the church and were careful about losing their virginity. Maybe you’re talking about pre-segregation times when the moral fabric of this country was something to be proud of for both blacks and whites. I live near a large city where young black girls between the ages of 15 and 19 have had the highest pregnancy rate among all races for the past 15 years. And you call white women easy and docile? That doesn’t sound like strict moral upbringing to me. In fact, it sounds like young black women are giving it up fairly regularly. You say black men are looking for women to control? I assume much in the same way men like Bobby Brown, Ike Turner, James Brown, O.J. Simpson, and Kobe Bryant “control” their women. I would expect nothing more from a culture which glamorizes rape, murder, gang violence and drugs; a culture where it’s considered cool to be an underwear-showing law-breaking thug; where you’re judged more by the amount of jewelry worn and whether or not your car rolls or bounces down the street rather than feeding and educating your kids. Yes, if you’re looking for a virtuous woman to be a mother to your children, I’m sure you can find your pick of them dancing in hip-hop videos. Perhaps if more young black women took the time to actually parent their illegitimate children, the cities would be a better place to live and public schools would be a safe place to send your kids.
You also mention the strength of black women. Are you sure youÂ’re not confusing strength with being loud-mouthed and belligerent? Or by strength, do you imply exploiting government assistance programs rather than striving to achieve prosperity on your own? Come to think of it, youÂ’re right. Black women do get pretty strong if you threaten to end the government gravy train. Or is that loud-mouthed and belligerent? I can never tell. But to that end, if you want the government to support you, maybe you should move to France. And by the way, why is it that black women get their hair straightened, softened and highlighted? It couldnÂ’t possibly be that they want their hair to look more like that of a white womanÂ’s could it?
The bottom line is that if you believe all black women to be African Queens, youÂ’re entitled to your opinion. At least now I know why I canÂ’t get good service at a McDonaldÂ’s restaurant…too many queens working there I suppose. But I have a virtuous woman who is strong, intelligent, beautiful, and would be a fantastic wife, mother and soul mate if given the chance. To top it all off, sheÂ’s white! But if I ever decide to find a woman who is lazy, loud, quarrelsome, and confrontational, IÂ’ll be sure to try your side of the fence. And if I sound like a racist, I sincerely donÂ’t mean to; after all, no offense taken, none given, right?"

The Racist Right Wants To See The Ax Fall On Melissa Harris-Perry!

Melissa Harris-Perry comes out with an apology towards perennial loser Mitt Romney. 

Over the weekend, Tulane University professor and Obama News agitator Melissa Harris-Perry got into some hot water after she took a shot at the perennial loser Mitt Romney's adoptive grandson.

While the racist right comes out in defense of Phil Robertson, the patriarch of Duck Dynasty for his homophobic and racist comments, they would go after the Obama News commentator because she believes that the former Republican nominee is condescending asshole. I really agree with that assertion.

Harris-Perry had the panelists attempt to caption a Romney family photo, which included all of Mitt Romney's grandchildren.

Harris-Perry joked that Kieran Romney would marry Kanye West's daughter, North West.

Panelist and comedian Dean Obeidallah said the photo "really sums up the diversity of the Republican party."

Pia Glenn, upon seeing the photo stated, "One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just isn't the same." Another panelist likened an adopted black grandchild to a token black person appearing at the Republican National Convention.

A huge family for the countless time loser!

Harris-Perry stated that "My goal is that in 2040, the biggest thing of the year will be the marriage between [Romney's grandchild] and North West. Can you imagine Mitt Romney and Kanye West as in-laws?"

Harris-Perry specifically stated the Romney grandchild by full name. Immediately after the show backlash erupted. A few days after the show, Harris-Perry apologized in a series of tweets for using Mitt Romney's black adopted grandchild in a comedy segment on the show.

Will the racist right start calling for blood again?

Because they've gotten rid of Martin Bashir and Alec Baldwin.

Melissa Harris-Perry's program features panel discussions focusing on national politics while exploring the "intersections of culture, art and community".

The show's two-hour running time allows for a more diverse pool of guests compared to typical cable news programs. In addition, since the show airs on weekends, Harris-Perry says it has "a little bit more breathing room" to respond to the weekly news cycle.

Harris-Perry encourages viewers to interact with the show via Twitter using the #nerdland hashtag, which she uses to describe an occasional destination for its topic field and intensity of discourse.

The shows places a strong emphasis on pop culture in an effort to expand the idea of what is considered "political".

Instead of political pundits, Harris-Perry often invites academics, activist Hollywood stars and underrepresented voices as guests. In addition, she often discusses politics outside the beltway, including politics of the South (known as the Southern Strategy).

Conservatives Cheer With Glee As Progressive Radio Is Yanked Off The Air!

Progressive talk radio is an endangered species.

The racist right won many battles in 2013. They've taken Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Mike Lee and Rand Paul to the mainstream. Four men who have relatively no accomplishments managed to get more attention in the junk food media. They've been on many GOP Sunday programs ranting and raving about how they hate Barack Obama and offer no real ideas to go against him.

They've gotten Martin Bashir off MSNBC (Obama News) after he compared Palin Da Ass's comments to defecating in a slave's mouth.

They've rallied against the IRS, the U.S. Census bureau, the TSA, the NSA and the president's nominees.

How many times have you've heard about Benghazi?

I know that Lindsay Graham, Michelle Bachmann, Darrell Issa, and Mike Rogers are harping about the president letting Americans dies overseas at a Libyan consulate that was a CIA front. And despite evidence proving the president's point about a spontaneous event, these right wing agitators made a theme of it being a moment of aloof for President Barack Obama.

They managed to shuffle the deck in the fight for Congress. The Republicans lead in most national polls. They many have the potential to win Congress. They've gerrymandered districts that made it even harder for Democrats to pick up. To make this clear, even a moderate Republican can lose.

Alan Colmes

They managed to get Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson back on the show.

They managed to put progressive radio on the ropes literally. They cheer knowing that Stephanie Miller, Bill Press, Ed Schultz, Thom Hartmann, Alan Colmes, Joe Madison, Randi Rhodes and Mike Malloy are bumped off the air.

In part of the Cumulus firing of That Guy Who Helped Obama Win (aka Sean Hannity), the radio dials had to change flagships. Some stations are willing to take that annoying ass conservative agitator in place of a handful of progressive agitators who once held title to their stations. The shakeup has even Stephanie Miller, the 10th most listened agitator searching for a new radio home. Ed Schultz, the fifth most listened agitator on radio flagship WWRL AM, New York is going to Spanish language and he's bumped.

Stephanie Miller.

 The flagship station KTLK AM in Los Angeles will drop Stephanie Miller and Ed Schultz for King Hippo (aka Rush Limbaugh) and That Guy Who Helped Obama Win.  the media radio giants have decided that the progressive voices aren't marketable either.

It's a sad state of affairs. Most talk radio hosts are WHITE MALES. There is a strong lack of diversity in the talk radio format.

And due to the fact that those two conservative agitators caused a whole lot of trouble during 2012 U.S. presidential elections, some media outlets are trying to keep controversy to a minimum.

These two agitators really screwed up everyone's opportunity for advertising successes. Now progressive talkers and up-in-coming conservatives are struggling to find many radio affiliates and finding alternatives off the AM dial. Some are taking it to SiriusXM or the internet.

The stations that had progressive radio agitators are being replaced with conservative agitators. Some are even going to sports talk and Spanish radio.

Currently, there are fewer than 100 U.S. commercial radio stations carrying liberal talk programs, compared to around 600 stations for King Hippo and 500 for That Guy Who Helped Obama Win and many other agitators. A good example of the format's struggles is in Boston, where Clear Channel put it on AM 1200 and 1430 from 2004 until 2006. A short time later, host Jeff Santos began buying time on WWZN AM 1510 in Boston airing his own show plus syndicated offerings such as Ed Schultz and Stephanie Miller.

As money dried up, and after other national hosts were offered such as Al Sharpton, his brokered time on WWZN shrank to his own show, and then that was cut loose in the fall of 2012 as the station went to all sports. Santos does have a few other stations in other areas carrying his show but is currently off in Boston, thought of as a left-leaning city (it is possible National Public Radio stations in the area cater to this audience already.)

On January 21, 2010, Air America announced that it would immediately cease programming, and the company would file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy; citing some of the following reasons on their website:

"The very difficult economic environment has had a significant impact on Air America's business.

Joe Madison left AM radio to join SiriusXM. One of the many progressive voices on radio that moved to the internet when their affiliates dropped programming.

This past year has seen a "perfect storm" in the media industry generally. National and local advertising revenues have fallen drastically, causing many media companies nationwide to fold or seek bankruptcy protection.

From large to small, recent bankruptcies like Citadel Broadcasting and closures like that of the industry's long-time trade publication Radio and Records have signaled that these are very difficult and rapidly changing times."

It's business though.

In my opinion the top ten agitators in the talk radio format:

1) Rush Limbaugh
2) Sean Hannity
3) Michael Savage
4) Glenn Beck
5) Ed Schultz
6) Mark Levin
7) Dave Ramsey
8) Thom Hartmann
9) Howard Stern
10) Stephanie Miller
