The Unit In Pieces!

The Unit is officially over. 50 Cent has declared the group dead. The media mogul has cut ties to every member of the group. The Game, Young Buck, Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo embark on other ventures.

With the nail in the coffin, I can officially say that The Unit is officially over.

The Emotions have broken up. The chief of the Unit, media mogul and rapper Curtis Jackson announced this year that he's no longer singing on the Interscope label. That put him at strain with his longtime producers Dr. Dre and Eminem.

He waited over six years to put out Street King Immortal. The rap act was hoping Adam Levine, Alicia Keyes, Young Jeezy and Snoop Dogg would help push a chart topper. Nope. Nothing hits the charts and the album was put in the freezer.

So I guess after the delay, Curtis would join the Caroline Records to put an album out. Curtis is gambling what political capital he has with his reputation as a mainstream act.

Marvin Bernard, the former hype man for Curtis has jumped ship. After Curtis signed on the independent circuit, that left a lot of space to fill. Marvin wanted to get things popping for his second album, but old Curtis has his mind set on his Animal Ambition. Marvin decided to give a shout out to David Brown and Jayceon Taylor on the social networks inflaming a rift with Curtis.

David Brown is penniless. He just got out of federal time out and he's hungry for a record deal since the Unit dropped him. The Cashville rapper is hoping to bring the music back.

Chris Lloyd is feeling the blues. After releasing three albums on the Unit, the Southside Queens rapper decides to strike it own his own.

The Unit was at its peak during the early 2000s. The rap label is now officially closed.

Jayceon Taylor was trying to bank on his Jesus Piece. That ball was a brick and the Interscope people had enough of the constant attacks on Curtis and Dr. Dre. So they sent him his walking papers. Now all of sudden he emerges as a Cash Money act. For how long most say?

The Unit tried and failed to reunite. But unfortunately, each rapper has an ego that's bigger than their album sales. Each rapper took a hit after they booted Jayceon Taylor out the group. That launched an ongoing feud with each other.

Besides the Five Emotions, there were some who signed and was affiliated to the Unit.

Hayes
40 Glocc
Precious Paris
Shawty Lo
Olivia
Hot Rod
Spider-Loc
M.O.P.
Kidd Kidd
Mobb Deep

Nowadays most rappers can't get out of the slump.

On the sales front, if you're not Eminem, Jay-Z, or Lil' Wayne, you're nothing!

Drake, Rick Ross, Macklemore, Wiz Khalifa, Juicy J, 2 Chainz, Future, and Nicki Minaj are popular acts and are in demand.

Will the Unit be in demand?

Probably not.

GOP Congressman Thinks AG Eric Holder Should Be Locked Up!

Republican Blake Farenthold has a vendetta against Attorney General Eric Holder. 

Bill Maher has declared war on the Republicans. He wants to contribute to defeating members of the Tea Party. One in particular is the Texas Republican congressman Blake Farenthold who has a history of saying pretty controversial things.

Maher has stated that Republican lawmakers such as Farenthold are an embarrassment to our nation and it's up to the voters to get rid of these assholes.

He created a "FLIP A DISTRICT" movement and Maher is determined to take Farenthold and New York Republican congressman Michael Grimm out.

Farenthold was a former turd flipper on AM radio and was elected to Congress during the sweep.

Since he's been in office, Farenthold is obsessed with Fast & Furious, the formerly plagued Obamacrare website, Benghazi and Lois Lerner's role in the IRS alleged actions against the Tea Party.

Farenthold made it his mission to undermine President Barack Obama and those who support him.

On Loserville, Farenthold wanted to tell the audience (uh, the racist right), that he's going to draft legislation that would cease federal payment of Attorney General Eric Holder.

Attorney General Holder told the National Action Network's annual conference that obstruction towards President Barack Obama is unwarrented and unprecedented.

Last week, Farenthold and fellow Texas Republican congressman Louie Gohmert were being total assholes towards Holder. They were saying that he should be locked up. That sparked a tense exchange of words between Gohmert and Holder.

The Republicans (and seven Democrats) voted to have the Attorney General in contempt of Congress for not releasing documents in relation to the the Fast & Furious operation that lead to the killing of ATF agent Brian Terry.

Mediaite reports that Farenthold told Greta The Ambulance Chaser Thursday night that it could help hold people like Holder to account, explaining, “If you’re in contempt of Congress, we don’t pay you.”

Greta The Ambulance Chaser wondered whether that could potentially backfire in the future, like if there’s a “rogue Congress” in the future that decides to go after a government official for purely partisan reasons. Farenthold insisted contempt of Congress is not something done on a whim, and said, “We’ve got to come up with some enforcement mechanism, and this is what I think we have the constitutional authority to go.”

He emphasized this is not specifically about Holder, but “pulling power back to Congress” in the face of Holder using the “Obama administration playbook of stonewall and delay.”

Country Of Hate!

The extremism is on the rise.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is a civil rights group that monitors active hate groups in the United States. The counterintelligence report notes that there are over 1,000 active hate groups.

Did you know that the states of California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Tennessee, Texas, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and New York have the most active hate groups?

You know the usual suspects: The Neo-Nazis, the Klan, the Nation of Islam and Westboro Baptist Church are the gadflies of hate. But did you know that there's active groups like the Council of Conservative Citizens, the websites, individuals like James David Manning, asshat Colin Flaherty and perennial loser extremist Glenn Frazier Cross (aka Glenn Miller) are just as dangerous.

When the Department of Homeland Security report came out in 2009 stating that the election of the first Black president would rile up the extremists, the conservatives dismissed this as a joke?

The Tea Party believes that "da gubmint" is trying to silence their vocal opposition towards Barack Obama's policies.

Did you know about the situation in Nevada?

We had the Bundy Ranch standoff. A cattle rancher was getting airplay on the racist right blogs. That Guy Who Helped Obama Win was a big cheerleader of this Cliven Bundy. The asshole was blaming the president and the Bureau of Land Management were deliberately trying to take the rancher's cattle.

Then the Overland Park shooting by that perennial extremist.

The conservative media was riling up over the knockout game.

The Republican lawmakers are passing legislation that caters to extremists. They are passing staunchly restrictive laws when it comes gay marriage, welfare, abortions and immigration.

Of course the knockout game is getting major play in the media.

What's your thoughts on the rise in extremism?

Alabama State Representative Alvin Holmes "Controversial" Remarks About Multiracial Relationships/Families

Angry, adoptive parents rally in Montgomery: Angry, adoptive parents rally at the state house in response to a controversial statement by Rep. Alvin Holmes last month.

Read what Ms. Peden has to say regarding Rep. Holmes remarks regarding transracial adoption:

Rep. Alvin Holmes remarks about adoption are hurtful as well as untrue

Suzanne M. Peden

As a Clinical Social Worker in the state of Alabama since 1985, and the owner of a licensed child placing agency in Helena since 2001, A Angel Adoptions, I am truly heartbroken by the remarks of Representative Alvin Holmes, D-Montgomery, during a legislative debate over a bill to ban abortions after the detection of a fetal heartbeat.

His statement that "Ninety-nine percent of the white people who are sitting in here now, if their daughter got pregnant by a black man, they are going to make their daughter have an abortion" is simply not true. I have been working with pregnant women, babies, and adoptive families in the field of adoption for 29 years and my professional experience does not support his remarks.

Today, more than ever, Alabama and the rest of the nation are seeing an increase in interracial relationships, marriages, and children born who are of mixed racial heritage; President Barack Obama is a great example.

Additionally, the infertility rate among women/couples is at an all time high. I currently have two childless interracial adoptive couples who live in Alabama waiting for an adoptive placement. Last year I placed twelve infants who were of African-American or African-American/Caucasian heritage with adoptive couples who were of Caucasian or mixed ethnic heritages. I have no shortage of adoptive family resources for any race child.

If Rep. Holmes believes his opinions are in fact true then he needs to step up his research. Adoption professionals, birth parents, adoptive families, and adoptees are very upset by his statements that only give negative press to our state! In fact, it is my belief that a caucasian woman pregnant with an African-American/caucasian child in any state is more likely to parent that baby than to have an abortion or make an adoption plan.




Suzanne M. Peden is executive director of A Angel Adoptions in Helena.

State Rep. Alvin Holmes did not start his call to the radio show by talking about white families adopting black children. Instead, he attempted to focus the discussion on interracial marriage, claiming, “First of all, my statement, that I made was that the majority of white people in Alabama was against interracial marriage.”

Representative Holmes said his belief is based on a November 2000 vote in which Alabama voters overturned a 100-year-old law that prohibited interracial marriage, but which Holmes claimed a “majority of whites” voted against. That 14-year-old vote is apparently what he’s still basing his opinions on today.

He's just talking about the conservative segment of Alabama's electorate that is resistant to multiracial relationships and families.  Sometimes, Rep. Alvin Holmes is right.  But the problem with his logic is that it's not just conservatives/Southerners that are resistant to the idea.  It's also liberals/non-Southerners, those who claimed to be progressive on most issues yet have a big problem when it comes to multiculturalism/interracial relationships in their families.

This is not to let right-wingers/conservatives off the hook, for they're more active in opposing interracial/inter ethnic relationships, families, multiculturalism in general.  All you have to read the venomous response to President Obama, the Cheerios commercial, the hateful comments on various conservative message boards such as American Renaissance, Breitbart, Freerepublic, Steve Sailer/VDare, Heartiste, The Spearhead, etc.

Hear what he said before the Alabama State Legislature regarding the hypocrisy of anti- abortionists when it comes to abortion and race.

Then watch the racist hypocrite Sean Hannity's remark:



Shawn Hannity have some nerve lecturing Blacks about bigotry when he's clearly is one!

We Remember The Boston Marathon Bombing!

Dzhokhar (right) and Tamerlan Tsarnaev (left) carried out one of the most gruesome attacks in American history. The Boston Marathon Bombings killed three. The two men went onto an attack on a police officer before the federal authorities manage to take Tamerlan and Dzhokhar to justice. Tamerlan was killed in a shootout and Dzhokhar was badly injured.

One of the oldest marathons was rocked in 2013 by a set of explosions. Around 2:56 pm on a nice sunny day, Americans gather together to watch competitors across the world compete for the Boston Marathon.

Close to the finish line, an exploding device goes off. Then another exploding device goes off.

The explosion would prove to be one of the most harshest and deadliest attack in the nation. The suspects used domestic devices such as pressure cookers to carry out a violent attack.

Three lives were lost in the blast. Countless others injured. Those injured had their limps blown right off them.

A nation changed that day. We continue to send our condolences and prayers to the victims of the Boston Marathon Bombings.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send condolences to Krystle Campbell (age 29), Lu Lingzi (age 23) and Martin Richard (age 8). Also we send condolences to MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) police officer Sean Collier (age 27).

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) took over the investigation, and on April 18, released photographs and surveillance video of two suspects.

The suspects were identified later that day as Chechen brothers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Shortly after the FBI released the images, the suspects allegedly killed an MIT police officer, carjacked an SUV, and initiated an exchange of gunfire with the police in Watertown, Massachusetts. During the firefight, an MBTA police officer was injured but survived with severe blood loss. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was shot several times in the firefight and subsequently run over by the car then driven by his brother. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Dzhokhar was walking causally away while Americans scream in panic.

An unprecedented manhunt ensued on April 19, with thousands of law enforcement officers searching a 20-block area of Watertown.

During the manhunt, authorities asked residents of Watertown and surrounding areas, including Boston, to stay indoors. The public transportation system and most businesses and public institutions were shut down, creating a deserted urban environment of historic size and duration.

Around 7 pm, shortly after the "shelter-in-place" advisory was rescinded, a Watertown resident discovered Dzhokhar hiding in a boat in his back yard. Dzhokhar was arrested and taken to a hospital shortly thereafter.

During an initial interrogation in the hospital, Dzhokhar alleged that Tamerlan was the mastermind. He said they were motivated by extremist Islamist beliefs and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and that they were self-radicalized and unconnected to any outside terrorist groups. According to him, they learned to build explosive devices from an online magazine of the al-Qaeda affiliate in Yemen.

He said that he and his brother had decided after the Boston bombings to travel to New York City to bomb Times Square. Dzhokhar was charged on April 22, while still in the hospital, with use of a weapon of mass destruction and malicious destruction of property resulting in death.

He has pleaded not guilty to 30 charges.

If found guilty Dzhokhar will automatically get federal time out. But also he'll be facing the gas chamber.
