I Question The Timing Of Her Story...

The following article is written by Ed of Dream and Hustle blog concerning Tamera Mowry's interracial marriage

The problem with discussing interracial marriage is there is too much lies and deception and trying to play others for stupid involved in the conversation. This is again, why I decided to create a research group and institute so we can get to the bottom and truth of things to solve problems, not keep the bullcrap going on and on. We have produced an extensive white paper on this whole “divestment” thing by the Black women and we took a real look at the topic.

As I indicated in an earlier article, Black women who are running around talking about “divestment” and getting with white men are negatively affecting legitimate interracial relationships like Tamera Mowery and her family. This is why you see this conversation about interracial relationship keep coming up because of this perversion propaganda going on perpetuated by Black women. These weirdo Black women running around creating this discussion about getting with a white man to spite the Black man are ghetto birds with ghetto drama. In terms of attractiveness, these very same “divestment” Black women look like something God made in a Build-A-Bear store. These “divestment” sistas are basically have nothing special to bring to the table for a white man, much less a Black man to find attractive – this is the issue that is currently going on and why this whole topic is being addressed by us in 2014 to get to the bottom of this topic that appears to be taboo and not addressed on a real level.

But there is one component in our research that I had to point out regarding Tamera Mowery situation. In the OWN interview, she is crying and saying she got so much “hate” and start describing some of the things people called her. I was going to write this article sooner but I decided to wait because there was an important component here. I wanted to see how Tamera Mowery husband respond to this situation because that is the important factor here. How the white husband in this interracial relationship respond to this matter is the key factor here to understand if this interracial relationship is really based on love or based on white privilege.

Feeding Time! [NSFW]

Wow, we just getting worked up over a Danish zoo putting down a giraffe and then feeding the carcass to the lions.

I hate to say this but it's "KILL OR BE KILLED!"

The Copenhagen zoo said it had to euthanize Marius, a perfectly healthy two-year-old young giraffe, to prevent inbreeding. Bengt Holst, the zoo’s scientific director said Marius didn't fit with the zoo’s breeding program.

If you understand the nature of the situation, why should they bury a huge animal?

Would be better they end up putting the animal into a grinder and serve it to the children?

Would you like it better if the giraffe would carry an infectious disease that could affect every animal or human in its presence?

C'mon, I don't have no problem with the video. I understand it's troubling and the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals will be pissed but seriously, what should they do?

Would people be upset that a healthy giraffe be killed by a lion?

The zoo said fears of inbreeding kept them from selling Marius to other institutions, and added that sterilization would adversely affect the giraffe’s health.

In a seemingly macabre twist, the euthanization by bolt gun occurred in public and in front of children at the zoo. Holst said the children were not affected by the scene, and “asked good questions.”

Horst said between twenty and thirty animals a year are culled due to breeding decisions. This was the first giraffe. “I do not understand the outrage,” he said. “We have to ensure a safe healthy population for the future, and you can only have a healthy population if you control and coordinate your breeding efforts.”

The NFL May Gets Its First Gay Star!

Michael Sam announces that he's going to be the first openly gay NFL star. The former MIZZOU defensive end shared his story with ESPN and of course controversy will come from fellow NFL players and the racist right.

Chosen as a first-team All-American after the 2013 season, has publicly come out as gay. The college football standout is eligible for the 2014 NFL Draft and is poised to become the first active openly gay player in the league's history. He spoke publicly about his sexuality for the first time to The New York Times and ESPN on Sunday.

"I am an openly, proud gay man," Sam told ESPN.

The 24-year-old from Hitchcock, Texas revealed to both outlets that he had come out to his teammates during a preseason football practice before the Tigers' 2013 campaign.

"I understand how big this is," Sam told ESPN. "It's a big deal. No one has done this before. And it's kind of a nervous process, but I know what I want to be ... I want to be a football player in the NFL."

A 6-foot-2, 255-pound senior who was voted co-defensive player of the year in the vaunted Southeastern Conference for the 2013 season, Sam made his announcement just two weeks before the NFL Scouting Combine begins on Feb. 22 in Indianapolis.

“We admire Michael Sam’s honesty & courage," the NFL said in a statement released on Sunday, via Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. "Michael is a football player. Any player with ability and determination can succeed in NFL.”

Sam recounted for The New York Times the moment when he came out to his teammates during a team-building exercise at preseason practice last year.

University of Missouri (known as MIZZOU) is a part of the Southeastern Conference (SEC).

“I looked in their eyes, and they just started shaking their heads -- like, finally, he came out,” Sam said.

After coming out to his teammates and coaches during the preseason, Sam starred on the field as the Missouri rolled to a 12-2 record and a 41-31 win in the Cotton Bowl. Given the type of year that Sam had, he was rated as the 12th-best outside pass rusher available in the upcoming NFL draft by ESPN Scouts Inc. and projected to be a mid-round selection. With the NFL's readiness for its first active openly gay player an open question, Sam's draft position will be watched closely in May. Several unnamed NFL personnel members interviewed by Sports Illustrated after Sam's announcement believed that coming out would adversely affect his draft stock.

"I don't think football is ready for [an openly gay player] just yet," an anonymous NFL player personnel assistant said, reported Pete Thamel and Thayer Evans of Sports Illustrated. "In the coming decade or two, it's going to be acceptable, but at this point in time it's still a man's-man game. To call somebody a [gay slur] is still so commonplace. It'd chemically imbalance an NFL locker room and meeting room."

The general manager of one NFL team told Peter King of Sports Illustrated that he believed Sam would not even be drafted after coming out. Meanwhile, GLAAD President Sarah Kate Ellis contended that the leadership displayed by Sam should make teams eager to have him on the roster.

"By rewriting the script for countless young athletes, Michael has demonstrated the leadership that, along with his impressive skills on the field, makes him a natural fit for the NFL," Ellis said in a statement. "With acceptance of LGBT people rising across our coasts -- in our schools, churches, and workplaces -- it's clear that America is ready for an openly gay football star."

Coming out Michael Sam is going to be the first openly gay football star.

Should any NFL executives or coaches with questions turn to Missouri head football coach Gary Pinkel for answers then they will likely hear about Sam's desire to keep the focus on football and the example he set for this teammates.

“We’re really happy for Michael that he’s made the decision to announce this, and we’re proud of him and how he represents Mizzou," Pinkel said in a statement. "Michael is a great example of just how important it is to be respectful of others, he’s taught a lot of people here first-hand that it doesn’t matter what your background is, or your personal orientation, we’re all on the same team and we all support each other. If Michael doesn’t have the support of his teammates like he did this past year, I don’t think there’s any way he has the type of season he put together."

One of Sam's former teammates at Missouri, Trey Hobson, was also among those expressing support for him on Twitter.

Sam had been planning on coming out publicly before the NFL Draft but he had initially intended for the news to break after the NFL Combine, according to Outsports' behind-the-scenes look at the announcement. His plans were accelerated after unnamed scouts at the Senior Bowl in January were asking about his sexuality.

"At the Senior Bowl, it was the first question I got from the scouts almost every time," one of Sam's agents, Joe Barkett, told Outsports. "He didn't feel there was an agenda behind the question other than trying to determine if the word on the Internet was true. "They would ask about spending time with him, were there girls around? Who is his girlfriend? They didn't ask that about another client, Tom Hornsey. They only asked it about Michael."

Wanting to come out on his own terms, Sam altered his initial timetable, eventually speaking with ESPN and The New York Times on Sunday. After the news broke, Sam took to Twitter to thanks those who helped him in coming out.

While Sam was thankful for the support he received, Athlete Ally Youth Programs Director Akil Patterson was among those noting the impact that this pioneering decision could have on others.

"Having played Division I football as a closeted gay man, I recognize the game-changing potential here for athletes everywhere, " Patterson, a former standout offensive lineman at the University of Maryland, said in a statement. "If Michael Sam can navigate this transition into the NFL as an out man of color, it will open doors for young people everywhere, particularly in football. More athletes will feel comfortable being true to themselves at a younger age and that will translate into better performance on the field and in the classroom. I think we have the capacity to go from one trailblazer to a large community of players within a surprisingly short period of time."

Relief.

Although several former NFL players have come out after retiring and it was widely presumed that their are currently gay players in the league, there has never been an openly gay player. In April 2013, veteran NBA center Jason Collins came out with a first-person piece in Sports Illustrated. The 35-year-old was entering free agency and did not find a new team for the 2013-2014 season. A month later, former U.S. national soccer team player Robbie Rogers became the first active openly gay player in a major professional North American team sport when he stepped onto the field for the L.A. Galaxy of the MLS.

Aaron Rodgers, Kerry Rhodes, Manti Te'o are gay NFL stars even though they openly deny the accusations. And yet, there's proof from their former boyfriends.

It's still a tightrope for gay athletes and professionals. They are often rejected because of their sexuality.

The Tea Party Supports Ignorant Oklahoma Bar Owner!

Proud Republican Gary James openly discriminates against people in his restaurant who he perceives as "liberal" or "gay". This is the Tea Party Movement's favorite son.

Americans Against The Tea Party is my new favorite website.

It's openly critical of the Republicans and their allies in the conservative movement. They have tracked the most outrageous elements of America's most hostile critics of President Barack Obama.

A few days ago, me and S. Baldwin talked about the issue with this Enid, Oklahoma restaurant openly discriminating against minorities, those in the LGBT community and the disabled.

The owner Gary James is a proud Republican and supporter of the Tea Party Movement.

He feels that it's his "god given right" to be hateful to those who support his views. And even though he has the right to be hateful, his business will be impacted when it goes viral.

It seems like the impact has made it to the social networks.

Some gay activists want "revenge" on the bigot. So what do they do?

They give "favorable" reviews.



It's a damn shame that even in America we still have this stuff going on. It's perfectly fine to be hateful, but should you even have a business or a microphone?

Wrong Way! [NSFW]

Deadly consequences for lives lost to reckless driving under the influence of alcohol.

In California and of course Florida, two incident where drivers had an opportunity to think before they drive turned out to be deadly.

In Pomona, California, a wrong way driver ended up killing six when her poor decision to drink and drive caused a terrible incident.

Police arrested the 21-year-old female driver on suspicion of felony driving under the influence and felony manslaughter in connection with the 4:40 a.m. accident on the westbound Pomona freeway, or State Route 60, in Diamond Bar, said Rodrigo Jimenez, a California Highway Patrol spokesman on the scene, who spoke to the Los Angeles Times.

The female driver was in serious condition at a Los Angeles County hospital with a broken femur and a ruptured bladder, Jimenez said.

Authorities were seeking blood tests.

Investigators "believe from what they found in the vehicle that alcohol was involved," Los Angeles County Coroner's Lt. Fred Corral told the newspaper.

California State Highway Patrol investigates the tragedy on the Pomona Highway.

Jimenez said the woman was traveling east in a red Chevy Camaro when it collided head-on with a red Ford Explorer. The sequence of events involving the other vehicles was not immediately clear. At least two people were ejected from their vehicles, Jimenez said.

Four people were pronounced dead at the scene, and two people died at an area hospital, authorities said. The freeway lanes in both directions were closed for hours Sunday.

Jimenez told the newspaper as he stood near the crumpled vehicles that it was "a horrific collision."

"This tragedy is 100 percent preventable," he said.

Friends and family mourn the lost of University of South Florida students.

And this wasn't the half of the problems. In Tampa, Florida, a group of young men died when the driver went the wrong way on Interstate 275 near the city. It turned out to be filmed by some eye catchers.

The driver of an SUV was heading south in the northbound lanes of Interstate 275 in Tampa around 2 a.m. Sunday when the driver collided head-on with the Hyundai Sonata carrying the fraternity brothers. Authorities say the SUV burst into flames and the driver died at the scene. FHP officials were struggling to identify the male victim late Sunday because of extensive injuries from the fire.

Sergeant Steve Gaskins said all four victims in the second car also died at the scene. They were members of the University of South Florida's fraternity Sigma Beta Rho. Authorities identified the victims as: Jobin Joy Kuriakose, 21, Ankeet Harshad Patel, 22, Imtiyaz "Jim" Ilias, 20 and Dammie Yesudhas, 21.

"Mere words cannot convey the depth of shock and sadness this terrible event brings to all who knew and cherished these wonderful young men," USF President Judy Genshaft said in a statement.

The university's counseling center will be available to help students' struggling with the loss. Sigma Beta Rho is planning an on-campus memorial service later in the week. Details will be available on the university's website, school officials said.

University of South Florida mourns the lost of five fraternity brothers. One of the frat brothers drove on Interstate 275 in the wrong direction.

"Our hearts are heavy at the loss of such bright, energetic and optimistic young people who had promising futures ahead of them; to have their lives cut tragically short betrays our sense of fairness and security," Genshaft said. "Now is the time when our faith and the support of those closest to us can sustain us, and should in tribute to their spirit of friendship and brotherhood."

Authorities said they are investigating whether drugs or alcohol played a role in the crash.

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

Ex-Cop Who Killed Movie-Goer Denied Bail!

Ex-cop Christopher Reeves is facing second degree murder charges. The former Tampa area police officer got into a confrontation with a movie goer after the victim used his cell phone for texting. The judge denied bail.

A few weeks ago, a retired police officer shot and killed a fellow movie goer after they got into a confrontation over the victim using a cell phone during the movie previews.

According to the prosecutors, the retired cop used extremely poor judgment when he confronted the victim.

The victim allegedly threw a bag of popcorn at the shooter.

Reuters report that a Florida judge denied bail on Friday for a retired police captain facing charges of second-degree murder and aggravated battery in the January 13 shooting.


Curtis Reeves, 71, said he feared for his life when he fatally shot Chad Oulson, 43, in a movie theater in Wesley Chapel, north of Tampa, according to an interview played at a bail hearing.

"The guy scared the hell out of me," Reeves said in a 29-minute audio recording of a police interview played publicly for the first time at the hearing.

"If I had to do it over again, it never would have happened," Reeves told detectives. "I would have moved."

Reeves' attorneys said he should be given bail because any action he took was to defend himself.

But Circuit Court Judge Pat Siracusa ruled on Friday that Reeves will stay in jail until he stands trial, wrapping up a two-day bond hearing that featured elements of a mini-trial, including surveillance video of the incident.

Reeves' attorney, Richard Escobar, said he planned to appeal.

In court Friday, Escobar said Reeves was in fear of his life, and reacted on instinct and training to defend himself.

Reeves said he became upset when Oulson would not shut off his cell phone as the previews began at a matinee of the combat drama "Lone Survivor."

Chad and Nicole Oulson.

The two men exchanged words. Reeves said Oulson told him he was texting his daughter's baby-sitter.

Reeves left to contact a manager, but returned to his seat alone moments later. More words were exchanged, and Reeves said Oulson grew more aggressive and leaned in toward him.

"I had nowhere to go," Reeves said on the recording. "I kept leaning back. Then he was virtually on top of me."

Reeves said he fired the gun because he believed Oulson had hit him. He described feeling pain in his left eye and shoulder.

Escobar said his client believes he was struck by Oulson's cell phone. "This is not a popcorn throwing case, but throwing a deadly missile case," Escobar said.

Eyewitnesses testified Oulson threw a bag of popcorn at Reeves.

A prosecutor said on Wednesday that Oulson did not strike or touch Reeves during the altercation.

The grainy, 29-minute video showed Reeves' movements in Theater 10 the day of the shooting, but not Oulson's, who was seated outside of camera view.

The video showed Reeves being stuck by an unknown object that appeared from out of camera view, and Reeves raising his right hand in a forward motion.

Reeves' defense attorneys persuaded the judge to allow an enhanced version of the video to be shown in court. Escobar said his version showed Reeves being struck in the face by Oulson's cell phone.

After viewing the defense team's version, the judge said he could not tell what object created the moving light on the screen.

Audio recordings of interviews with both men's wives also were played for a judge on Friday.

Vivian Reeves said Oulson cursed at her husband when he asked him to "stop playing with his cell phone." Oulson's widow, Nicole, described Reeves as being rude and nasty.

Nicole Oulson said she stood and placed her hand on her husband's chest to help calm the situation just before the shooting occurred.

A single bullet struck both of the Oulsons. Nicole Oulson was shot in the left ring finger, and her husband suffered a chest wound.

"I saw a spark and heard a pop," said Nicole Oulson, whose left hand was bandaged as she sat in court on Friday.

Oklahoma Residents Keep This Racist Bar Open!

Enid, Oklahoma restaurant has a history of racial discrimination.

S. Baldwin had posted earlier about this Oklahoma restaurant owner who is running his mouth straight out of his ass. This jackass is getting national attention after he turned away one of his longtime customers after he spotted him in a wheelchair.

Remarkable that we have this nonsense in America.

The Tea Party and Republicans are individuals who are constantly wrapping their asses around American flag in defense of these silly culture wars.

The Republicans and their allies in the conservative movement are reactionary bigots. These bigots harbor hatred of minorities, the lower class, the middle class, the working class, independent women, Muslims and the LGBT community.

The Republicans and their allies in the conservative movement have issues a person's with race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, political and economic standings.

Oklahoma voters elect bigots like Jim Bridenstine to office to push these ridiculous culture wars against President Barack Obama. The state of Oklahoma is most Republican friendly state in America.

The Republicans are determined to defeat the president at any cost.

The Republicans and their conservative allies are the racist, sexist, Islamophobic, homophobic, condescending, pain inducing morons that the Democrats and liberals paint them out to be.

Congressman Jim Bridenstine, a Republican lawmaker from the Tulsa area openly allowed a constituent to threaten President Barack Obama. This controversy came forth after video leaked this week showing the constituent saying that Americans should "executed" the "son of a bitch!"

"A public figure cannot control what people say in open meetings," Bridenstine said in a statement released by his office.

"I obviously did not condone and I do not approve of grossly inappropriate language. It is outrageous that irresponsible parties would attribute another person's reckless remarks to me."

In the video that appears on YouTube, a town hall participant says: "Obama is not [my] president as far as I'm concerned. He should be executed as an enemy combatant."

The jackass owns a restaurant in Enid. The establishment is now getting heat after one of its patrons posted a pretty strong message on social media about discrimination.

The restaurant and bar has been open for more than four decades and carries quite the reputation.

Gary James, owner of Gary’s Chicaros, said, “I’ve been in business 44 years, I think I can spot a freak or a faggot.”

A good member of the Tea Party Movement.

He added, “I don’t deal with these people walking down the street with no jobs on welfare.”

James said, “If I reached over there and slapped the sh** out of you, you should be offended. But to call someone a ‘chink’ or someone call me a bigot, that doesn't bother me.”

Now, a wave of comments on Facebook claim James refuses to serve African-Americans, Hispanics and people with disabilities, like Matt Gard.

Gard said, “He doesn’t like certain people of race, color, ethnicity.”

Gard was a regular at Gary’s Chicaros restaurant for years.

He said he turned a blind eye to the owner’s choice of customers, until recently.

Gard said, “Now, he tried to find a weak excuse not to let me in with my wheelchair or the weak excuse of having loud people with me.”

After getting turned away for a steak dinner, Gard said it’s about his disability.

James claimed that’s just not the case.

James said “He created an issue. You only have one time here. You create an issue, you’re out forever.”

This is what goes on in the Midwest and the South. White conservatives are driven to madness. White extremism is on the rise in America.

Gard and at least 140 others posted on a Facebook page that said James’ attitude has crossed the line to discrimination.

Even the business’ t-shirt is viewed as offensive.

The shirt features derogatory slogans against homosexuals, it has the N-word on the front and threatens violence against Muslims, minorities and Democrats.

James said he is proud to wear that shirt.

He said, “I really don’t want gays around. Any man that would compromise his own body would compromise anything.”

Gard said, “The people who still go back and patronize his business are condoning his behavior in how he treats others.”

James said, “Well if you work, you own a business, pay your taxes, you’re more than welcome here. If you’re on welfare, stay at home and spend my money, there.”

Strong words in a small town where no one has challenged his business practices.

The Office of Civil Rights Enforcement is a division of the Oklahoma Attorney General’s Office which investigates cases of discrimination in employment, housing, and public accommodation based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability and age.

If you feel that you are the victim of civil rights discrimination, you are asked to contact the Oklahoma Attorney General’s office.

Labor Rights | A Reason to Attend the Moral March on Raleigh

Oklahoma Restaurant Owner Won't Serve "Freaks, F*ggots, Disabled" Or Tho...

Trigger Warning:  The language is demeaning and hateful.  It's not surprising from a state that has a reputation of being unfriendly to Blacks, women, and gays.  It produces bigots such as RamZPaul and David Yeagley, whom I had several run-ins with several years back.

Here's the story from The Raw Story:

A restaurant outside of Oklahoma City is facing criticism after its outspoken owner made a series of inflammatory comments after one of his former customers, who is disabled, complained that he’d been banned from the establishment.

Matt Gard claims that the owner of Gary’s Chicaros restaurant, Gary James, banned him from the restaurant because of his wheelchair. James, however, says otherwise: “He created an issue. You only have one time here. You create an issue, you’re out forever.”

Gard claims that’s just “a weak excuse,” and that James’s real problem with him is that he’s on disability.

James doesn’t deny that he thinks some people shouldn’t patronize his restaurant. “Well if you work, you own a business, pay your taxes, you’re more than welcome here,” he told KFOR. “If you’re on welfare, stay at home and spend my money, there. I don’t deal with these people walking down the street with no jobs on welfare.”

Gard also claims that James has routinely turned away customers for decades. “He doesn’t like certain people of race, color, ethnicity,” Gard said of James.

James told KFOR that he’s owned Gary’s Chicaros for 44 years, so he “think[s] I can spot a freak or a f*ggot.”

The restaurant’s official t-shirt makes it clear that a “f*ggot” isn’t welcome in James’s establishment. It features that word, the N-word, and threatens violence against Muslims, Democrats, and members of many minority groups.

James says he is “proud” to wear the shirt: “I really don’t want gays around. Any man that would compromise his own body would compromise anything.”

Maybe Oklahoma needs a Moral Monday to protest against racist attitudes of its citizens.

Look What's On The Menu?

The racist right loves to photobomb negative images of Black people.

A school in California wanted to celebrate Black History Month by bringing out the fried chicken, cornbread, watermelon and Kool-Aid.

It's another racist right attempt to undermine the achievements of Black leaders.

They're so offended that Blacks and Hispanics have months for achievements and they being WHITE MEN don't have their own WHITE HISTORY MONTH.

So I guess our friends in the conservative media couldn't help themselves. That Guy Who Throws Shit On The Wall had posted it this morning and I am betting those daily banters of racial extremists are having a field day complaining.

Hey, why not insert President Barack Obama into the fold. After all the racist right hates him just as much as they hate Black History Month. The racist right would claim that if it wasn't for Obama, "us Black folk" wouldn't have the fried chicken and the purple drank.

Students at Carondelet High School for Girls in Concord wanted to come up with ways to observe the occasion during a lunchtime celebration Friday. But when the school announced a menu of fried chicken, cornbread and watermelon, other students and parents became offended.

A private school makes a poor decision.

“When I first saw that, I was confused. I didn’t understand why our school would do this because we’re totally against that kind of stuff,” said Gianna Scoma, a junior at Carondelet.

School officials held an assembly on campus Wednesday to discuss the issue and also sent a letter apologizing to parents. Principal Nancy Libby wrote that the items were taken off of the menu and that the school doesn’t perpetrate racial stereotypes.

Libby also wrote the school will hold a diversity assembly for students and faculty.

“Cultural insensitivity of any kind is obviously inconsistent with the mission of Carondelet High School,” said school president Sister Ann Bernard.

The educators said Carondelet could have invited speakers or hold a field trip to learn about black history.

While many students felt bad about the announcement, some said our society is too sensitive.

“I understand like how it would offend people. But we’re just doing something to celebrate, not bring it down,” said Morgan Hartford, a junior at the school.

Gabby Simones, a junior at the school who is Latina said, “On Cinco de Mayo we would have probably had enchiladas, rice and beans.”

Robert Jackson, a teacher at Acts Christian Academy said offering fried chicken, cornbread and watermelon is different, because the food goes back to the history of slavery. “We talk about soul food because it was actually food we used that was left over from the master’s table and we used it to restore our soul and restore our hope.”

Hearts Afire!

Can't catch a break. The jobs report is out and the cynics are still complaining regardless of the results.

Okay, this is the week when we get the monthly jobs report for the month of January.

It seems like even though we obtained a fair amount of jobs, its still not enough for the critics of President Barack Obama.

January's records 113,000 jobs brings the unemployment numbers to 6.6%.

The New York Times reports that the American economy added 113,000 jobs in January, a disappointing showing that is likely to spur fears that the labor market is poised for yet another slowdown.

Before the report from the Labor Department on Friday morning, economists had been looking for the economy to gain 180,000 positions last month. But after an extraordinarily weak showing for hiring in December, some experts are concerned that weakness is carrying into 2014 and signaling a broader loss of momentum in the economy.

The unemployment rate in January was 6.6 percent, compared with 6.7 percent in December.

While some other economic figures have suggested strength in the economy recently, especially the robust rate of growth in the United States in the second half of 2013, the labor market has been healing more slowly.

Still, in the fall there had been enough pickup in hiring to persuade the Federal Reserve in December to gradually begin scaling back its stimulus efforts. With the January report substantially weaker than expected, that call is looking increasingly premature.

Private employers added 142,000 positions to their payrolls in January, while government at all levels shed 29,000. Among individual sectors, manufacturing had a gain of 21,000 jobs, while employment in construction jumped by 48,000.

The employment-population ratio, which has been falling as more workers drop out of the job market, edged up 0.2 percentage points to 58.8 percent. In recent years, the exit of people from the work force has reduced the unemployment rate, but it is a sign that people are giving up hope of finding a job amid slack conditions, hardly the way policy makers would like to see joblessness come down.

Despite Friday’s report, another steady reduction in bond purchases is likely when Fed policy makers next meet in March. A disappointing showing in February’s report, however, might change that.

Wintry conditions that held back hiring were blamed for the weakness in December, a theory popular among more optimistic economists after those numbers came out in early January.

For last month, despite what seems like an endless series of snowstorms on the East Coast and arctic conditions in the Midwest recently, the reference week for the latest survey was Jan. 12-18, when conditions were fairly normal as Januaries go, limiting some of the impact of the weather in this report.

GOP: [We're] Not Racists! Wink, WInk!

Okay, here we go again!

Oklahoma Republican congressman Jim Bridenstine allows a stupid ass constituent make threat on President Barack Obama's life.

The Young Gun of the Tea Party Movement is under fire for deliberately allowing this nonsense go on without a merit of concern.

This is why the Democrats and their politically allies label the party as a bunch of bigots.

News 9 Oklahoma reports that  more threats have surfaced just a day after one Oklahoma man was charged with mailing a threatening letter to President Obama.

That man could face up to five years in federal prison for making the threats.

While Oklahoma Congressman Jim Bridenstine was holding a town hall meeting, the topic quickly turned when the floor was open for discussion.

"Obama shouldn't be president if you ask me. He should be executed for being an enemy combatant."

At first it seems only laughter followed the female attendees comments on executing the president. But if you listen closely it sounds as if a male responds with "I don't know about that..."

Whether the male voice was Bridenstine or not, the Oklahoma Democratic Party feels the congressman didn't do enough.

"I am appalled someone would threaten the Commander-In-Chief, Republican or Democrat. Congressman Bridenstine owes the President an apology, the country an apology and the people of Oklahoma an apology," said ODP Chairman Wallace Collins.

"A public figure cannot control what people say in open meetings. I obviously did not condone and I do not approve of grossly inappropriate language. It is outrageous that irresponsible parties would attribute another person's reckless remarks to me," responded Bridenstine.

First amendment attorney Mark Hammons viewed the video. And the difference between these comments and the threatening letter from Rogers County resident Hunter Hines, is not a direct threat of harm.

"Comes close to that but probably doesn't cross the line because she's expressing an opinion," said Civil Rights attorney Mark Hammons.

After the woman made those comments she went on to call the President a criminal and a moron. When she was done, the Congressman went back on the topic of gun control.

As you know that the U.S. Secret Service takes all threats against the president very seriously. These individuals who made threats are going to find a visit unpleasant.

You know if you're found guilty of making an attempt at the president's life, you're going to federal time out for 5 years and pay a hefty fine.
