Friday Night Lights!

Man this has been a long week. I've worked so hard and hadn't got the opportunity to keep the postings on Journal de la Reyna plentiful. I apologize though! Anyway, we will close out January with the latest things I've missed while I was at work those last few days.

One thing that I'll cover is the confirmation of the controversial Florida man who killed an unarmed teen. He drove the narrative that he stood his ground despite having a shaky story and constant run-in with law enforcement. A trial that created a racial and political divide in America.

A man who wants to continue to keep his celebrity in the spotlight despite pleas to keep his profile low!

George Zimmerman is planning on getting the boxing gloves on for a celebrity event.

Certainly it's going to piss off Black America.

It's funny, he's willing to do this stuff. And for charity.

“Boxing isn’t new to me,” Zimmerman told Radar Online. “It’s something I had picked up well before the incident and it’s something that I liked, I enjoyed, and I kept up with it and I was able to lose a tremendous amount of weight and get a healthy lifestyle.”

Zimmerman was eventually acquitted of second-degree murder and manslaughter in the case, which became a focal point for racial tensions.

Prospective challengers are urged to contact promoters by email at fightgeorge@hotmail.com, and promoter Damon Feldman said Zimmerman would be willing to fight a black person.

“We’re not looking at it as a race thing,” Feldman said. “We haven’t discussed purple, yellow, white, black.”

The Compton-based rapper Game is hoping that Zimmerman gets into the ring. After all the controversial rapper wants to "knock the shit" out of him. “I will beat the f*ck out of him,” the rapper told TMZ. “I would not be boxing for me. I’d be boxing for the legacy of Trayvon Martin and for his family.”

Outspoken entertainer Game wants to fight Zimmerman.

Tracy Martin and Sabrina Fulton would rather see the rapper use his talents somewhere else. Like try to repeal state laws that enhance the castle doctrine (aka stand your ground) laws.

Game, who has a tattoo of the slain teen on his leg. “I would definitely take pleasure in it. It’s legal, and I want to show him you can solve your disputes without a weapon.”

Zimmerman said the boxing match was his idea.

“Prior to the incident I was actually going to the gym for weight loss and doing boxing-type training for weight loss,” Zimmerman said, “and a mutual friend put me in contact with Damon and provided me with an opportunity and motivation to get back in shape and continue with my weight loss goals and also be able to help a charity out.”

He declined to identify the charity or say whether he would be paid for the match.

“I’d love to tell you [the charity] but unfortunately there’s so much animosity still from people out there, that if I name the charity now they would get bombarded with negativity, so I’d rather not,” Zimmerman said. “I’ll leave it up to them to say if they want it to be publicized or not. But I will tell you that it’s an animal rescue.”

After his July 2012 acquittal, Zimmerman has had several brushes with the law but was not charged in a domestic violence case against his estranged wife, and his girlfriend recanted her allegations against him in another domestic violence case.

Tragedy In Atlanta!

One of the nation's busiest expressways was shutdown after major snowfall.

The southern playground is facing a snow emergency.

Atlanta, New Orleans, Birmingham, Montgomery, Charlotte, Columbia and Raleigh got a horrible taste of winter weather.

The migrants of the Midwest and Northeast wanted to escape to the South.

I guess they've brought their old ways down to the South.

Major snowfall happens to plague the South. And most Americans were caught off guard by it.

Georgia Republican governor Nathan Deal and Atlanta independent/Democratic mayor Kasim Reid taken heat for the lack of preparedness for this weather event.

Pictures of the major highway complex of Interstate 75/85 shows that the 12 lane expressway between Midtown and Downtown Atlanta a parking lot. It shows a bunch of cars parked in gridlock because the snow plows didn't come and the roads were extremely dangerous.

At least a number of people have died in the Polar Vortex event.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to those lost in this event/

Stress extreme caution during weather events.

Prolonged exposure to the elements will affect your skin. Make sure you are prepared by wearing warm gloves, a wool or knit cap, proper shoes and boots. Make sure you check your fluids and tires.

Tire pressure is essential when dealing on the roadways. If you are to have an emergency, make sure you have bottle water, some parishable food, a nice blanket. hand warmers and proper medicine.

Make note that in the first respond units and tow companies are overwhelmed during these events. You have to have patience whenever you're stranded. Some events could take up to 3 hours if you have a non-emergency accident.

Also heed snow emergencies warnings. If you're having either a level 1 or 2 event, it's noted that you're taking an extreme risk going on the roads. Level 1 means the roads are dangerous use extreme caution/

Level 2 means that roads are impassable you are to avoid travel if absolutely necessary.

Level 3 means that you are risking a citation if you're out on the roads when its noted that roads are extremely dangerous and emergency personal is required on the roads during the event.

Be safe on the roads during the remaining winter. Your life is more important.

State Of The Union

President Barack Obama tells Congress and the nation that if gridlock continues he will use his executive orders to get things done. Republicans weren't impressed with it. Of course, there's plenty of Republicans acting like idiots that night.

Apologies to the good readers of Journal de la Reyna, I had to work last night and didn't get the opportunity to listen to the president's State of The Union Address.

I almost wanted to just get an opportunity to sneak off the job and peak out the president's speech.

But alas, I will elaborate over the themes of President Barack Obama's address for his sixth year as the leader of the United States.

The main themes of the president's address is income inequality, women's rights, ending Iranian sanctions, immigration reform, the healthcare law, his executive orders, and climate change.

Unbelievable, there were four Republican responses. Four lawmakers were addressing the nation.

Two Stallmigos and two congresswomen had an opportunity to undermine the president. U.S. Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Florida U.S. Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen delivered the most recent Republican response, on January 28, 2014, in English and Spanish, respectively.

Stallmigos Rand Paul of Kentucky and Mike Lee of Utah do unofficial Republican responses. The Tea Party Express does one with Lee and Paul does his little showboating response.

Of course these two have no legislative accomplishments as of today. They are often mentioned as potential presidential contenders.

House Speaker John Boehner looks like a sour puss. Even though the president tossed him a shout out for being a son of a tavern owner.

Steve Stockman walked out. He of course wanted news attention. He is going for John Cornyn's senate spot. It's possible that Stockman could beat Cornyn. After all we got Stallmigo Ted Cruz.

Trey Radel gets out of Congress. He was forced out after it was revealed he was purchasing cocaine while in office. He sought for treatment after he was found guilty of possession.

Michael Grimm acts a fool in front of New York television reporter.

Willie Robertson, Sean Hannity (aka That Guy Who Helped Obama Win) and Tyrone Woods' dad Charles were guest of the extremely conservative Republican lawmakers.

Obviously it's the talk of the week, what's your take on it?

Maryland Mall Shooter Stirs The Racist Right!

Over the weekend, this man Darion Aguilar went into a suburban Maryland mall and killed two people before killing himself. I am guessing that the racist right will find some way to blame President Barack Obama for it.

Mall shooter in Maryland is a young Black man.

Colin Flaherty is going to go bananas over this one. The racist right hates hearing about mass shooters being White terrorist. They cheer with glee when the mass shooter is a Black person.

They can rehash the Black on White crime excuse.

Darion Marcus Aguilar was a 19-year old man who walked into a busy mall in Columbia, Maryland, on Saturday and killed two employees of a skateboard apparel shop before turning the shotgun on himself.

So far, law enforcement officials haven't determined a motive and aren't giving many details about the journal's contents. That's something people certainly will be talking about when the mall reopens for business at 1 p.m. ET Monday.

The Mall Of Columbia the scene where a shooting occured.

Police said Aguilar showed up at The Mall in Columbia in a taxi Saturday morning and stayed in a "generally confined area" before going to Zumiez, a shop that caters to skaters, on the second floor.

There he fired six to nine shots, killing 21-year-old Brianna Benlolo and 25-year-old Tyler Johnson before shooting himself.

Police are trying to find out more about Aguilar. CNN affiliate WBAL reported he was a quiet, tall, skinny skateboard enthusiast who graduated last year from Blake High School in Silver Spring. He had no criminal record and purchased the shotgun legally, WBAL said.

Aguilar had a backpack that contained two homemade bombs, police said. Both were disabled.

Howard County Police Chief Bill McMahon told reporters Sunday that in the journal, Aguilar "does express some general unhappiness with his life, but I really don't have any other information about that now."

A young mom was gunned down in a mass shooting. Brianna Belolo was a worker at a skateboard and clothing company when a deranged shooter killed her and another man.

But the journal had enough disturbing information to worry a Prince George's County police officer who saw it Saturday afternoon -- before he knew Aguilar was the mall shooter, CNN affiliate WJLA said.

According to WJLA, the officer went to Aguilar's home in College Park to speak with his mother after a missing person report was filed. The officer read parts of the journal and was concerned for Aguilar's safety, the affiliate said.

The investigator traced his phone and discovered it was pinging at the Mall in Columbia, which had become a crime scene by that time, WJLA said. When the Prince George's officer delivered the information to the mall, Howard County police were able to identify Aguilar.

Aguilar also had a backpack that contained two homemade bombs, police said. Both were disabled.

McMahon said there was no known relationship between Aguilar and Benlolo, WBAL reported.

"I know there's a lot of interest in the motive for this, and I have as much interest in that as anybody," McMahon said Sunday.

McMahon identified Aguilar as the shooter Sunday.

Aguilar purchased the 12-gauge Mossberg shotgun in December, the chief said.

Tyler Johnson was gunned down by a deranged shooter at his employer. The Columbia Mall shooting continues a horrible tradition of gun violence and the potential for a terrorist attack at a soft target.

He added that police served a search-and-seizure warrant at the shooter's house and retrieved documents, computers and other potential evidence, including the journal.

On Saturday, a federal official briefed on the shooting told CNN that preliminary information suggested the gunman aimed only at the two victims, perhaps indicating it was an isolated situation and not a wider shooting spree.

Benlolo was an assistant manager at the store and had worked there since November 2012, according to her Facebook page.

Evelyn McDonald, her close friend, called the shooting shocking and a "complete tragedy."

"She was just full of energy. She was so nice and just an amazing artist and just an amazing person inside and out," McDonald told CNN.

Benlolo was the mother of a small boy.

"She loved her son. She loved being a mother," McDonald said.

The shooting occurred at a skateboard and clothing store.

Johnson had worked at the store for about three months, according to his Facebook page.

Thousands in mall at time of shooting

The first 911 call about the shooting came at about 11:15 a.m. Saturday, and officers were in the mall within two minutes, police said.

Investigators said there were thousands of people in the mall at the time, with many hiding in fear behind store counters, in restrooms or in fitting rooms for hours after the shooting stopped.

"Think about this, on a Saturday afternoon at the mall, how many people may be in there," McMahon said Saturday. "Something like this happens and people run in many directions, and they also do what we train them to do -- to shelter in place."

Five people were taken to Howard County General Hospital, a hospital spokeswoman said in a prepared statement. All were treated and later released.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to Brianna Benlolo and Tyler Johnson.

Now obviously we'll hear talk about stripping firearm rights from Black men. After all, we're the reasons that the country is so messed up according to those on the racist right.

Who knows?

He could have been one of Obama's sons. Obviously, that's never going to stop the racist right from smearing on the name of gun shooting victim Trayvon Martin.

Hip-Hop Tea Party Republican Trey Redel Resigns!

This blows. Controversial lawmaker resigns after he was arrested in 2013 for cocaine possession.

The tearjerker forced the Republican congressman from Florida to resign.

Besides it's not looking good for the Republicans.

Potential perennial loser Mike Huckabee was being a total sexist asshat.

King Hippo was acting a sexist asshat when it came to attacking Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis.

New Jersey governor Chris Christie starts off his second term with a hug scandal.

Former Virginia governor Bob McDonnell and his wife are under federal indictment for bribery.

Dinesh D'Souza, the conservative writer and filmmaker is facing federal indictment for election fraud.

House Speaker John Boehner's appearance on The Tonight Show this month was a total disaster. It assured attacks from the left.

Yeah, this has been a month of bad news for the Republicans. But who's fault is it?

President Barack Obama says the racist right.

Now onto the hip-hop influenced, coke snorting, partying Trey Radel of Florida. He's going to blame Obama for his resignation. Thiis so-called "hip-hop" Republican was busted a few months ago for having the blow in his system. Instead of getting time in the iron college, he got probation and treatment.

Radel was a Tea Party endorsed Republican who once was a former radio deejay and talk radio host.

He's married with a son. This is his first term as a lawmaker.

He's one of those famed Republicans who goes on Loserville saying that Americans should have to get drug tested for gubmint benefits.

I guess he's not going to have the luxury of being a lawmaker anymore.

He resigns today.

Dinesh D'Souza May Get Federal Time Out!

Dinesh D'Souza goes to the courtroom. D'Souza went to Kenya to meet President Barack Obama's distant family to smear him during the 2012 U.S. Presidential Elections.

The racist right is defending a criminal. A criminal who knew better and he may pay the price for his actions.

If found guilty, conservative writer Dinesh D'Souza may get federal time out for at least two years.

The producer of 2016 Obama's America got himself in a bit of hot water over the people who got a boost in funds without acknowledgement of the Federal Elections Committee.

In January 2014, D'Souza was indicted by federal prosecutors and charged with campaign finance law violations. Prosecutors alleged that D'Souza used straw donors to funnel campaign contributions to an unnamed Senate candidate.

D'Souza was charged with violations of the Federal Campaign Act of 1971, with prosecutors asserting that he had violated the limit of $5000 for any individual to contribute to a specific candidate for US Senate in a single election year, by directing others to make contributions to Wendy Long in the amount of $20,000 and reimbursing them.

He would be arraigned in a Manhattan federal court on January 24.

The charges include making illegal campaign contributions, with a maximum sentence of two years incarceration, and causing false statements to be made to the FEC, with a maximum sentence of five years incarceration.

D'Souza's attorney argued that D'Souza "did not act with any corrupt or criminal intent whatsoever" and described the incident as "at most ... an act of misguided friendship".

His co-producers alleged that the indictment was politically motivated retribution for the success of his 2016 movie.

Yeah, a smart man like this blames the gubmint for his own turmoils because he knew the risk of illegal campaigning.

Go ahead and blame everyone but yourself. It's what the racist right does when they're caught in a lie.

A scandal.

Or just an event, that proves their stupidity to the world.

Quacker Bust!

Duck Dynasty takes a nosedive.

The homophobic and racist comments by patriarch Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty had its toll.

The seasonal debut of the program on A&E may have seen a huge drop in the ratings.

I guess it was all smoke and mirrors for the racist right. They gin up outrage over the ignorant statements by the foolish reality star only to see they're success is actually a failure.

Loserville and the racist right were behind the ignorance.

When that idiotic former Alaskan governor took to the social networks to say the "freedom to hate" was under attack, her cubs were sending death threats and even attempts at boycotting the A & E Network.

 According to entertainment industry trade paper Variety, the show is hemorrhaging viewers, with audience numbers falling by about 2 million from week to week.

“One week after returning to kick off its fifth season with a 3.3 rating in adults 18 to 49 and 8.5 million viewers overall,” wrote Variety’s Rick Kissell, “’Duck Dynasty’ slid to a 2.9 in the demo and 6.65 million total viewers, according to Nielsen. This is the smallest same-night crowd for an original episode of the series since the second-season finale drew 6.45 million in December 2012.”

As Kissell points out, it’s hard to say whether the controversy itself has damaged the show’s appeal, or whether it was the revelation that the long-bearded, unkempt millionaires of the Robertson family were once clean-cut country-club preppies before they got a TV deal.

Or perhaps the show is simply a one-note flash in the pan whose popularity has run its course. Kissell suggests the latter, pointing out that ratings were already trending downward at the end of Season Four, which aired before Phil Robertson’s now-notorious interview with GQ.

The shows that ranked higher than “Duck Dynasty” in viewers in the key 18 to 49 demographic were “American Idol” — the reality singing competition that launched the careers of openly gay singers Clay Aiken and Adam Lambert — and “Modern Family,” a comedy series that features a gay married couple and an ethnically diverse cast.

40 Year Old Rappers Bury The Beef!

Hip-Hop isn't dead. It's just getting ready to obtain its AARP card! Jeezy and Rozay bury the hatchet.

While Papa Jeezy is preparing for a legal fight after a dispute with his own son, he decides to bury the hatchet with longtime foe Rick Ross.

Sometime ago, the Snowman got into it with Rozay at the BET Awards and it made it through the racist right social networks. Now these two are in the studio working on a single for Rozay's Mastermind album. The album is highly anticipated this year and it seems like there's no business like the show business.

Rappers are putting their ego aside (for now) and decide to make the music, worth the buy!

People couldn't understand what drove this feud to the brink of almost becoming a violent event?

Well we can thank Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, the king of feuding.

Fat Joe and 50 Cent.

He's feud with Jeezy, Rick Ross, Fat Joe, The Game, Young Buck, Ja Rule and others. He can't help himself! 50 enjoys the limelight.

But now at album time, he's been pushed back farther than a messed up hairline. His long delayed Street King Immortal is indefinitely suspended. It seems like his days at Interscope may soon come to an end.

Now I've heard that 50's decided to bury the hatchet with Fat Joe. I know that DJ Kay Slay has brought them together. I mean they were both managed by the late rap mogul Chris Lighty.

As some of your favorite rappers prepare for the milestone of 40 years old, some these entertainers are squashing the beef.

I've heard this story all the time. A rap feud where one calls out another over a dispute. It's been there done that. It's a part of the entertainment complex where rappers continue to brag about their "cred" and how they can motivate those albums sales.

I've seen it through the rap feuds. Notable acts involved in feuds include Dr. Dre, Ice Cube against NWA, Tupac Shakur, Notorious B.I.G., Eminem, Benzino, LL Cool J, Big Daddy Kane, 50 Cent, Ja Rule, The Game, Jadakiss, Beanie Sigel, Lil' Kim, Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, Drake, Lil' Wayne, Pusha T, Nas and Jay-Z.

Nowadays, as they get older, the beef stuff is getting old and people aren't buying into the macho cred!
