Ohio Woman Kills Marine In Hit-Skip Accident!

Monica Plank and her husband were struck by a hit and run driver. The driver was caught. Plank was killed after the vehicle struck her while she was walking near the road.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Monica Plank.

A marine and her husband got into an argument near a restaurant. They walk down the road and all of a sudden a vehicle ends up hitting her and killing her. For nearly two weeks, there weren't answers until the break came Sunday.

A vehicle struck 34-four-year-old Monica Plank of Stafford, Va., on Sunday shortly after midnight as she walked from a restaurant in Bellefontaine.

The Bellefontaine Examiner  reports video shows two cars and a sport utility vehicle passing near where Plank was hit.

Police Chief Brandon Standley says investigators hope those drivers come forward because they may have seen something that could help resolve the case.

A funeral was scheduled on Saturday in West Liberty for Plank, who was married to a fellow Marine gunnery sergeant. They were in Bellefontaine to visit family.

The Dayton Daily News and the Associated Press report that Bellefontaine police arrested a woman Saturday night in relation to the Feb.16 hit-and-run fatal crash that killed Marine Gunnery Sergeant Monica Plank.

26-year-old Holly Fowler of Urbana is in the Logan County Jail and faces felony failure to stop after an accident and tampering with evidence charges
.
Bellefontaine Police were following leads at a local bowling alley, located four blocks from the crash scene, when they interviewed Fowler and examined her vehicle. The burgundy Chevy Malibu had evidence of damages consistent with the damages from the hit-skip scene, police said.

Holly Fowler is in Logan County lock up after evidence proved that she was the hit and run driver.

Fowler initially repeatedly denied any involvement in the fatal crash and denied knowing how the damages to her car occurred, but in a later interview at the Bellefontaine Police Department, she admitted responsibility for striking Plank on Feb. 16.

"We are relieved that we have been able to bring this case to some sort of closure for Mr. Plank and his family," said Bellefontaine Police Chief Brandon Standley.

"Our investigators have worked tirelessly to bring this case to a close, and we are confident we have built a solid case," he added.

Fowler is expected to appear in court Monday morning.

CNN May Ax Piers Morgan!

CNN is planning on bumping Piers Morgan off the primetime slot.

The struggling cable news network is getting ready to put its hammer on British tabloid journalist Piers Morgan.

After three years on air, CNN is getting rid of Piers Morgan Tonight tells David Carr of the New York Times.

Morgan took over Larry King's 9PM timeslot in 2011. Morgan's ratings were consistently low.

CNN sources confirmed the news to Politico.

As Carr points out, Morgan's contract is up in September. There's no word on whether he'll get another show or not.

“It’s been a painful period and lately we have taken a bath in the ratings,” Morgan told Carr. "I am a British guy debating American cultural issues, including guns, which has been very polarizing, and there is no doubt that there are many in the audience who are tired of me banging on about it."

The most memorable moments of Piers Morgan is the debate between extremist Alex Jones and him over the Sandy Hook shooting tragedy. Jones wanted Morgan deported for his stance on gun control.

Morgan also had Rachel Jeantel on his program before and after the verdict in the controversial George Zimmerman trial. The racist right was attacking Jeantel for being a big Black woman who had that "attitude".

Charlotte cook fired after comment to McCrory gets job offers | North Carolina News - WXII Home

CHARLOTTE, N.C. —The cook who was fired from his job at a Charlotte food store and restaurant after a confrontation with Gov. Pat McCrory this week says he's received several job offers.

The Charlotte Observer reported that Drew Swope said he's also gotten an offer of help from Mayor Patrick Cannon.

Swope was fired from Reid's Fine Foods on Sunday after he had a dispute with McCrory, who was in the store. Swope said he asked McCrory if he could help him and then said "thanks for nothing" when he realized he was speaking with the governor, with whom he disagrees politically.

Michele Bachmann: White Guilt Kept Me Outta Of The White House!

More stupid remarks from the controversial politico.

While she is under investigation by the feds for misuse of campaign funds during her ill fated presidential bid, the controversial Minnesota politico once again takes a direct and not so subtle jab at President Barack Obama.

The Congress wouldn't be the same without embattled Republican poltico Congresswoman Michele Bachmann. She is by far the most dumbest and most misinformed politico in Washington.

She's a birther, a deather, and a victim of the Benghazi flu. She is happy that John Wayne (Gacy) was a fellow Waterlooan, and she's got the cred of her fellow Tea Partiers for being one of the many wasted votes on repealing Obamacare.

Formerly a leading voice of the now defunct Tea Party Caucus, the controversial politico once again reflects on her defeat at the Iowa Caucus. She laid out her grievances about how White Americans had "guilt" about voting against the first Black president. She believes there's no way for a woman (let alone a Republican woman) to win the keys to the White House.

According to the controversial politico, the tide of white “guilt” that President Barack Obama rode into office will not be matched by a similar feelings for the former First Lady.

She believes that Benghazi flu is a better sword against a potential Hillary Clinton run. Why would the Republicans waste their time on Slick Willie?

“I think there was a cachet about having an African-American president because of guilt," says Bachmann.

She had put her heart and soul into a race that lead her and those seven other dopes to defeat. Her impact helped motivate Republicans to nominate the worst politico to ever run for office, perennial loser Mitt Romney.

As you know, Republicans were fearing that she could hurt their chances of holding on the House of Representatives. She was facing a tougher opponent from the Democratic Party.

In order to keep herself from an embarrassment, she decides to retire from Congress.

It gave Republicans a sigh of relief.

C.R.E.W. got her as one of the most corrupt lawmakers this year and last year.

If evidence proves that she's done wrong, get ready for her to be bitching about how "It's Obama's Fault" for her being tried for a federal crime. She could eventually get charged if the evidence is proven.

Only time can tell.

Here's her greatest hits!

G-UMOVE!

Media mogul 50 Cent departs from Interscope.

50 Cent announced that he's departed from Interscope Records.

Meaning that he's no longer associated with Eminem and Dr. Dre. The rapper was mentored through the years and managed to bring in lots of money. But now it's time for Curtis Jackson to make moves in order to eat.

50 Cent released a statement about the departure where he showed gratitude to his former bosses Dr. Dre, Eminem and Interscope head Jimmy Iovine.

"I have had great success to date with Shady/Aftermath/Interscope and I'd like to thank Eminem and Dr. Dre for giving me an incredible opportunity," he said in the statement. "I've learned so much from them through the years. I am excited to enter this new era where I can carry out my creative vision."

Eminem also released a statement about 50's departure and mentioned that the friendship he has with the Queens rapper will continue.

Them days are over.

"Both myself and Shady Records are grateful to have had the chance to play a part in 50′s career. Shady simply would not be what it is without 50 Cent," Eminem said. "I've developed a great friendship with 50 over the years, and that's not going to change. We know 50 will have success in his new situation, and we remain supporters of both him and G-Unit."

50 Cent decided to tell his relationship with Eminem and Dr. Dre through FORBES Magazine.

"I'm a special case and situation," 50 Cent said.

"It’s also because of the leverage of having the strong relationships with Eminem and Dr. Dre. They don’t want to me to be uncomfortable. They value our friendship to the point that they would never want [to jeopardize] it over that little bit of money."

He's left the label after numerous delays to his album Street King Immortal which was to be released on the Shady/Aftermath Records. A major move that came on the Friday news dump.

I guess Fiddy couldn't take it no more. Been over six years since he's released an album. Been on the label for over a decade and helped push Aftermath and Shady into the mainstream.

That comes a big surprise but not so much as a big deal.

The G-Unit capo has to make money moves. After all, he lost his core members (Lloyd Banks, Game and Young Buck). There's no talk about a G-Unit Reunion or make up sessions.

He overcame the death of Chris Lighty and Mazaradi Fox.

He feuded with Ja Rule, Rick Ross (aka Rozay), Jadakiss, Oprah, Bill O'Reilly, Lil' Wayne, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Game, Young Buck, and his own son.

He's tried miserably to kiss peeping tom victim Erin Andrews, smacked up his girlfriend and had a child with a model, and still promoted his audio sound equipment.

Could 50 Cent survive the independent circuit? I mean he did survive nine slugs in him.

His movies weren't up to par. He's doing reality television. Which is pretty much at the bottom of the barrel of being a "washed up celebrity".

I mean his biggest rival, Rick Ross a "somewhat" phony gangsta managed to win the battle of who's got the biggest balls. I mean his sixth album Mastermind is coming out in March (if it's not delayed) on Def Jam through his Maybach Music Group.

There's no more G-G-G-UNIT shout outs. No more mentions of SHADY/AFTERMATH from Fiddy.

He decided to take the independent route by signing to Caroline Records which is an affiliate to Capitol EMI records.

Game also did a similar move after being dropped from Aftermath and G-Unit. He apparently signed on to the Cash Money/Young Money label.

Well are you still rocking your G-Unit spinning chain?

Are you still eating those G-Unit protein bars?

What's your take on the decision of 50 Cent leaving Interscope Records?

Toni Braxton And Babyface: Love Marriage & Divorce!

Toni Braxton and Babyface reunite for a duet album.

The veteran R & B producer and crooner reunites with the pop singer to record a duet album.

The Island Def Jam Music Group now has control over the Motown Records label.

Love, Marriage & Divorce includes eleven tracks including their Adult R&B #1 single, "Hurt You" as well as the second single "Where Did We Go Wrong". The album was originally due for release on November 25, 2013, although its release was delayed until the week before Valentine's Day.

The album is Babyface’s first new studio album in nearly seven years and Toni’s first new album since 2010’s Pulse.

Toni announced that she was returning to music with a Summer Tour and that she was in the studio working on her eighth studio album. She also stated that the album will not be a traditional album but rather a collaboration album featuring long-time collaborator Babyface. The album will entirely consist of duets between Braxton and Babyface.

Longtime collaborator Babyface worked with Toni Braxton on their duet album.

Babyface said that "The whole perspective is guy and girl, Mars vs. Venus. Even if you're in love, you're in love for different reasons", while Braxton added: “I think because Babyface and I have both gone through divorces, we can relate and we can collaborate together on this topic and make it so others who have gone through this situation can relate". The album Love, Marriage & Divorce will be released on February 4, 2014, under Motown Records.

The 2013 Summer Tour kicked off in Las Vegas on August 9, 2013 and ended in Atlanta on August 31, 2013. The lead single from Love, Marriage & Divorce "Hurt You" premiered on August 17, 2013.

The song attained success, claiming the No. 1 spot on two charts: the Billboard Adult R&B Songs chart for four weeks, and the Urban Adult Contemporary (Urban AC) for the week ending Dec. 14, 2013. This marked Braxton's first No. 1 hit on the Adult R&B Songs chart since her 2000 release "Just Be a Man About It."

The song also hit number 16 on Billboard Hot R&B/ Hip Hop Airplay chart.

The second single from the album, "Where Did We Go Wrong?" debuted at No. 20 on the Adult R&B Songs chart.

If Fixing Stupid Was Possible! [NSFW]

An unwanted topping caused a West Virginia district manager to lose his job.

You've ever complained about the wrong toppings on a pizza?

I bet you have, cause I've done it before. I ordered a pizza with extra mushrooms and they've gave me olives. Not saying that black olives are bad and all, but man you've can't have a decent deluxe pizza without the mushrooms.

Anyway out of the Charleston, WV area comes another You Can't Fix Stupid story.

Besides the coal company destroying the water sources, many in the media haven't really focused on it. After all, the poorest state in the United States has often been ignored because of its social inept residents.

This You Can't Fix Stupid story is going to be a recurring theme here at Journal de la Reyna.

Whenever I devote my time to these stories, I often talk about the service industry and the negative publicity it gets from those who are employed doing extremely stupid things. Not only putting their safety at risk, but their jobs and the reputation of the company at risk. Not to mention the possibility of lawsuits and time in the iron college for these antics.

WOWK has reported that a Pizza Hut manager in Kermit, WV was watering the snake in a washing sink.

 Not the restroom.

The shocking surveillance video from inside a Mingo County, WV Pizza Hut. The video, recorded several weeks ago, shows a district manager caught urinating into the restaurant's kitchen sink.

Pizza Hut responded to the video with the following statement:

"First of all, we are embarrassed by the actions of this individual. Pizza Hut has zero tolerance for violations of our operating standards, and the local owner of the restaurant took immediate action and terminated the employee involved. While the isolated incident occurred during non-business hours and did not involve any food tampering, we follow strict safety and handling procedures and the restaurant has since been closed. We apologize to our customers of Kermit, West Virginia and those in our system who have been let down by this situation."

Concerns over the video have continued to circulate around the community of Kermit, where the restaurant is located.

The state health board shut the place down temporarily. They have to sanitize and retrain workers and built back its reputation as a quality food service.

"I just don't trust anybody after it happened once, plain and simple," said Ricky Brewer who lives nearby the now temporarily closed restaurant.

"I would never go there and eat," said Blanche Ferris. "Even if I did, the thought would run through my mind."

Mingo County's Sanitarian Brett Vance closed the restaurant Tuesday morning after watching the video. He said it will be temporarily closed until further notice.

Pizza Hut Incorporated has confirmed the man in the video was the District Manager and has since been fired. In an email to 13 News, a representative from Pizza Hut Incorporated said the Kermit location "did not have previous problems reported. Meaning, it was a store in good standing."

A cleaning crew is flying in from Texas to clean and sanitize the Kermit location as well as the other restaurants the District Manger was in charge of, including Pizza Huts in Ceredo, Danville, Chapmanville and Logan.

All of those locations are franchised by Rage Inc. 13 News reached out to Rage Inc. for the second day in a row. On Tuesday they did not return our call. On Wednesday they referred us to Pizza Hut Corporate.

"If it was cleaned, washed, fixed up I wouldn't care a bit to eat there," said Charles Jude, who said he was a "regular" at the restaurant.

Muppets have no taste buds. I'm surprised Miss Piggy would be eating pepperoni pizza from Pizza Hut. Does pepperoni come from a pig?

Officials with the Mingo County Health Department sat down with a representative from Pizza Hut Corporation Wednesday to discuss future plans of action.

Yum! Brands, Inc. or Yum! is a United States-based Fortune 500 corporation. Yum! operates or licenses Taco Bell, KFC, Pizza Hut, and WingStreet restaurants worldwide. Prior to 2011, Yum! also owned Long John Silver's and A&W Restaurants.

Based in Louisville, Kentucky, it is the world's largest fast food restaurant company in terms of system units—more than 39,000 restaurants around the world in over 125 countries.

In 2011, Yum!'s global sales totaled more than US$14 billion.

Frank Taaffe: Oprah And Obama Are Two Stupid A** N****rs!

White extremist is a defender of George Zimmerman. He appeared on HLN multiple times saying some pretty racist and borderline ignorant things about the Black community.

Looks like George Zimmerman's best friends are making the news once again. For the umpteenth time, this right wing bigot named Frank Taaffe emerges again to make his case against the Black community.

The unofficial spokesperson of George Zimmerman has his own radio program on some White extremist network. I guess he's got an opinion about everything.

So I am guessing he'll have White nationalist radio host James Edwards, Asshat Colin Flaherty and Jesse Lee Peterson (The Other Jesse) on his program sooner or later.

The Raw Story reports that Political Research Associates, posted audio on Tuesday from an October 2013 segment of Taaffe’s show, “Standing Our Ground,” which aired on the White Voice Network. The network reportedly devotes itself to “media, news, and information for White people against White genocide.”

In the segment, Taaffe and co-host Joe Adams debate whether media mogul Oprah Winfrey can be considered a “n**ger.”



“To me she wouldn’t,” said Adams, who wrote a book called the “Save White People Handbook.”

“I think she is,” Taaffe responded, explaining that he thought the slur applied to Winfrey because “she keeps spewing out all that bullsh*t. She goes over to Switzerland and she says that the lady didn’t want to share a handbag because she thought that she couldn’t afford it, and she keeps just doing what she’s doing.”

Taaffe then criticized her for promoting “her boy,” President Barack Obama.

“You know, it’s birds of a feather, they flock together and stick together, and to me, she’s a n**ger,” Taaffe insisted. “Oprah Winfrey’s a n**ger. She’s a n**ger.”

One thing about Oprah and the Obamas, they're rich and famous. Frank Taaffe is not.

Adams then expressed slight disagreement, saying that while Winfrey “has worked hard, [and is] doing the right thing by her community,” society at large should still use the slur when referring to her. He also claimed that when white people raise issues related to race, “they get called racist, and that is the white equivalent of the n**ger word for me.”

Taaffe, who was Zimmerman’s neighbor around the time Zimmerman was accused of second-degree murder for killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, became an outspoken defender of Zimmerman’s in appearances on CNN and other networks. He suggested Martin fit the “ID” of prior burglars in their neighborhood and dismissed Zimmerman’s penchant for collecting firearms by saying, “Boys will have their toys.”

Mother Jones reported that Taaffe also used his platform to defend Michael Dunn, the 47-year-old man who was found not guilty of murder charges for killing another Black teen, Jordan Davis. But following criticism directed toward CNN and sister network HLN, Taaffe announced future appearances on HLN had been canceled.

This is how George Zimmerman, Frank Taaffe, Michael Dunn thinks of Black people.

Viscera Passes Away!

Back in the days I was a huge wrestling fan.  There was a wrestler known as Viscera, a huge Black wrestler who came from the depths of Hell.

He was best known for his appearances with the World Wrestling Federation/World Wrestling Entertainment (WWF/WWE) in the 1990s and mid-2000s under the ring names Mabel, Viscera and Big Daddy V, where he held the WWF Hardcore Championship and WWF World Tag Team Championship, and was the 1995 King of the Ring.

Born as Nelson Frazier, Jr, Viscera would return to the WWF – by then renamed World Wrestling Entertainment – in September 2004, surprise attacking former Ministry of Darkness leader, The Undertaker, with fellow former Ministry member Gangrel, at the command of former Ministry Acolyte, John "Bradshaw" Layfield.

After two weeks on SmackDown!, he was moved to the Raw brand.

In his first three months on the Raw brand, Viscera mainly wrestled on Raw's sister show Heat, only making sporadic appearances on Raw.

His first major storyline there started in April 2005, when he aligned with Trish Stratus as part of her feud with Lita and her husband, Kane. While working together, Viscera and Stratus appeared in a segment in which he attempted to seduce her, only to be rebuffed. Stratus implied he would first need to "take care" of Kane.

That segment began a gimmick change for Viscera, who transformed into "The World's Largest Love Machine". After losing to Kane at Backlash 2005, he injured Stratus with his Big Splash finishing move, angry about her constant belittling of him, turning face in the process.

Viscera began wrestling in pajamas and making overtly sexual gestures in the ring. He became smitten with Raw ring announcer Lilian Garcia and tried different tactics to seduce her every week. At Vengeance in June, Garcia finally reciprocated, proposing to him in the center of the ring, only to be turned down and left crying in the ring when The Godfather arrived with many of his prostitutes to show Viscera what he would be leaving behind if he got married.

Viscera then teamed with the like-minded "ladies man", Val Venis, to form V–Squared. They teamed together for nearly nine months, mainly on Heat. They challenged for the World Tag Team Championship on a few occasions, but never held the title.

When Venis was sidelined with a legitimate injury in April 2006, Viscera returned to singles wrestling. He attempted to reconcile with Garcia, but was interrupted and attacked by Umaga during his proposal.

Two weeks later, when Garcia was legitimately and accidentally knocked from the ring apron by Charlie Haas and sprained her wrist, the incident was worked into a storyline of Haas and Viscera fighting over Garcia.

After Lillian declared she wanted to be just friends, Haas seemingly raked Viscera in the eye, with Viscera feigning to accidentally Samoan slam Lillian. After, both men laughed about the incident, in the process of turning Viscera heel once again. The team split up when Haas reunited with Shelton Benjamin to reform The World's Greatest Tag Team.

On June 17, 2007, Viscera was sent from the Raw brand to ECW in the supplemental section of WWE's draft. Three weeks later, he debuted on ECW on SyFy, repackaged as Big Daddy V, a "hired muscle" character in the employ of Matt Striker, arriving just in time to help Striker in his rivalry with The Boogeyman.

After disposing of The Boogeyman, Big Daddy V defeated Tommy Dreamer in the ECW brand's Elimination Chase to become the number one contender for the ECW Championship at No Mercy.

There, he lost to CM Punk by disqualification, when Striker interfered in the match. He then feuded with SmackDown's Kane. He participated in the No Way Out Elimination Chamber match, but was eliminated early.

He wrestled his last WWE match on March 11, 2008, for an episode of ECW on SyFy, losing to CM Punk in a Money in the Bank qualifier. In the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft, he was drafted to the SmackDown brand. Frazier was released from his WWE contract on August 8, 2008, before ever wrestling for SmackDown.

On February 18, 2014, it was reported that Frazier had died following a heart attack, just four days after turning 43.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Nelson Fraizer, Jr.

Police Nab Ex-Lawmaker In Zimbabwe! Did He Forgot To Tell 'Em He's A Sexual Offender?

Ex-lawmaker busted in Zimbabwe with hand jacking videos.

Hey, who says I don't bash the Democratic Party?


Okay readers, I've happened to click on The Raw Story and got a hold of an article about a former Illinois Democratic congressman busted in the African country of Zimbabwe for having run up a check and having possession of the hand jacking videos.

In Zimbabwe, having the hand jacking videos or pictures could be classified as a crime.

Reuters report that Mel Reynolds was arrested over the weekend after it was discovered he was staying in the county on an invalid visa. And to make it worse, he's a convicted sexual offender. Police and immigration officials were investigating Reynolds for living in the southern African country without a valid visa, Francis Mabika, an assistant regional immigration officer, told Reuters.

Mabika said Reynolds has been in Zimbabwe since November, but declined to give further details.

Reuters was unable to reach Reynolds for comment. A spokeswoman for the U.S. embassy in Harare declined to comment.

The state-owned Herald newspaper said the former Illinois congressman had been arrested at a hotel in the capital Harare on Monday

In August 1994, Reynolds was indicted for sexual assault and criminal sexual abuse for engaging in a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old campaign volunteer that began during the 1992 campaign. Despite the charges, he continued his campaign and was re-elected that November; he had no opposition.

Reynolds initially denied the charges, which he claimed were racially motivated. On August 22, 1995, he was convicted on 12 counts of sexual assault, obstruction of justice and solicitation of child pornography. He resigned his seat on October 1 of that year.

Reynolds was sentenced to five years in prison, thus he expected to be released in 1998. However, in April 1997 he was convicted on 15 unrelated counts of bank fraud and lying to SEC investigators. These charges resulted in an additional sentence of 78 months in federal prison. Reynolds served all of his first sentence, and served 42 months in prison for the later charges. At that point, President Bill Clinton commuted the sentence for bank fraud. As a result, Reynolds was released from prison and served the remaining time in a halfway house.

The congressional seat would eventually go to disgraced lawmaker Jesse Jackson, Jr., the son of Cut His Nuts Off Jackson.
