Mazaradi Fox Passes Away!
 |
| Rapper Mazaradi Fox was gunned down. |
A Queens-based rapper and promoter for 50 Cent's G-Unit label was gunned down over the weekend.
We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Mazaradi Fox.
The New York Daily News reports that Jamal Green aka Mazaradi Fox, age 42 was gunned down on Friday. He was killed at Farmers Blvd. and 134th Ave. in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens about 4:10 p.m. when the shooter rolled up to his white SUV and opened fire.
Police sources said Fox, released from prison just two weeks ago, stumbled out of the Nissan SUV and collapsed in a driveway.
Three other people in the SUV were wounded, including a 21-year-old man who was hit in the neck and shoulder and was in critical condition, police said. A second man, age 22, was wounded in the arm, and the fourth victim, a woman in her 20s — believed to be Fox’s daughter according to thisis50.com — suffered a graze wound to the neck, police said.
Paramedics rushed the survivors to Jamaica Hospital.
Mazaradi Fox short lived freedom from the iron college turned out to be worse than expected. After serving two years for an attempted assault he was sent up the river. He was also convicted of attempted murder in 1998, according to court records.

He ultimately parted company with 50 Cent and started his own rap label, Dumout, according to thisis50.com.
"We're sorry to hear about the tragic news. Our sympathy goes out to his family and friends. Despite reports, he was never on the G-Unit record label," says a representative for G-Unit. "50 Cent was in his New York studio and was saddened when he heard the news. He sends his condolences to Mazaradi's family," said a rep for 50-Cent.
50 Cent was in his New York studio when he heard Fox was murdered.
“Saddened by the news of Mazaradi’s tragic passing,” he tweeted. “My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.”

A police source indicated the Fox slaying was possibly gang-related.
Five years ago, Fox pumped two .25-caliber bullets into Queens gangbanger Rashawn Carter, authorities said. The victim survived the shooting. Charged with attempted murder, Fox was later convicted of attempted assault and sent to prison.

“What a stroke of luck,” one police source dryly observed. “The person you were trying to kill gets killed by someone else.”
A woman answering the door Saturday at Fox’s Queens home said they were mourning his violent loss.
“We miss him,” she said. “We love him.”
Fox was riding shotgun alongside his girlfriend when the shooter rolled up to his white Nissan SUV and began spraying the vehicle with bullets, cops said.
The girlfriend, who was driving, suffered a graze wound to the neck, while a 21-year-old male passenger was critically injured with bullet wounds to the neck and shoulder.

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. |
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.
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. |
Florida is on track to surpass New York as the third most populated state.
 |
| Dallas |
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 |
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 |
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 |
"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. |
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. |
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!”
.jpg) |
| 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. |
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. |
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. |
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! |
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.

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?"
