Hannity Goes Berserk On Jon Stewart!

That Guy Who Helped Obama Win is tired of being mocked by comedian. So now he's launched a feud against Comedy Central's host Jon Stewart.

That Guy Who Helped Obama Win is a certified asshole. The conservative agitator is so obsessed with taking down President Barack Obama it actually backfires.

I've explained it too many times that he's nothing more than a well paid agitator who relishes in division and hate.

Do you know that picking a fight with Jon Stewart will result in a bitter defeat?

It's not Jon Stewart's fault that he caught this punk ass conservative agitator lying to his audience yet again.

He's just telling the damn truth about that stupid right wing militia rancher. That rancher refuses to follow federal law and respect property. He making a mountain out of a mole hill. He's being a total asshole.

He and those who support him are WHITE EXTREMIST!

That annoying conservative agitator is stringing the possibility of a domestic terrorist attack.

Mediaite reports that That Guy Who Helped Obama Win went after Jon Stewart Tuesday night for mocking him over his support of Cliven Bundy and hypocrisy therewith. That annoying conservative agitator mused that Stewart is “kind of obsessed” with him, and called the late night comic the “chief apologist for the Obama administration.”
Obviously Jon Stewart catches the hypocrisy that comes out of that asshole's mouth.
The annoying conservative agitator insisted his main problem is with government overreach in Nevada, turning the tables on Stewart to wonder where he stands on Bundy, wildly speculating what Stewart’s true feelings on the situation could be. And beyond that, that conservative agitator rehashed his old foes.

“Did Jon Stewart ask Barack Obama about his friendship [with] this unapologetic domestic terrorist Bill Ayers [and Jeremiah Wright]?” says That Guy Who Helped Obama Win.

The annoying conservative agitator called Stewart a “comedic hack” and randomly brought up the inclusion of Cat Stevens (who supported a fatwa on Salman Rushdie) at the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear hosted by Stewart and Stephen Colbert.

National Review‘s Kevin Williamson called Stewart a “half-bright late night television comedian” with a “vulgar and extensive audience,” telling the conservative agitator, “I’m sort of embarrassed with the country and myself that we have to sit here and talk about Jon Stewart.”

Supreme Court Upholds Michigan's Affirmative Action Ban!

The conservative wing upholds Michigan's ban on racial preferences.

I guess the Supreme Court decided that racism is over in the United States. There's no such thing as institutional racism in the country so says the six justices of the Supreme Court.

Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action was a case before the United States Supreme Court questioning whether a state violates the Fourteenth Amendment by enshrining a ban on race- and sex-based discrimination on public university admissions in its constitution.

This ruling effectively ends racial preferences in admissions in ALL institutions.

The Associated Press reports that the 6-2 (with Elena Kagan, not participating) decision came in a case brought by Michigan, where a voter-approved initiative banning affirmative action had been tied up in court for a decade.

Seven other states — California, Florida, Washington, Arizona, Nebraska, Oklahoma and New Hampshire — have similar bans. Now, others may seek to follow suit.

But the ruling, which was expected after the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the Michigan law, does not establish a precedent because the justices splintered in their reasoning.

It also doesn't jeopardize the wide use of racial preferences in many of the 42 states without bans. Such affirmative action programs were upheld, though subjected to increased scrutiny, in the high court's June ruling involving the University of Texas.

"This case is not about how the debate (over racial preferences) should be resolved," Justice Anthony Kennedy said in announcing the ruling. But to stop Michigan voters from making their own decision on affirmative action would be "an unprecedented restriction on a fundamental right held by all in common."

Chief Justice Roberts also filed a concurring opinion, arguing that the dissent contains a paradox: the governing board banning affirmative action is an exercise of policymaking authority, but others who reach that conclusion (presumed to mean the supporters of Proposal 2) do not take race seriously. He continues that racial preferences may actually do more harm than good, that they reinforce doubt about whether or not minorities belong.

Justice Scalia filed an opinion concurring in the judgment, joined by Justice Thomas. He examines what he calls a "frighteningly bizarre question:" Whether the Equal Protection Clause forbids what its text requires, answering by quoting his concurrence/dissent in Grutter: that "the Constitution [forbids] government discrimination on the basis of race, and state-provided education is no exception." He asserts that the people of Michigan adopted that understanding of the clause as their fundamental law, and that by adopting it, "they did not simultaneously offend it."

Justice Breyer filed an opinion concurring in the judgment, arguing that the case has nothing to do with reordering the political process, nor moving decision-making power from one level to another, but rather that university boards delegated admissions-related authority to unelected faculty and administration. He further argues that the same principle which supports the right of the people or their representatives to adopt affirmative action policies for the sake of inclusion also gives them the right to vote not to do so, as Michigan did.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor read a summary of her lengthy, 58-page dissent from the bench, in which Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg joined. She said the decision creates "a two-tiered system of political change" by requiring only race-based proposals to surmount the state Constitution, while all other proposals can go to school boards.
From left bottom to right top: Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia, John Roberts (Chief Justice of Supreme Court), Anthony Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen Breyer, Samuel Alito and Elena Kagan.

As a result of the ruling, said Sotomayor, a product of affirmative action policies, minority enrollment will continue to decline at Michigan's public universities, just as it has in California and elsewhere. African-American enrollment dropped 33% at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor between 2006 and 2012, even as overall enrollment grew by 10%.

"The numbers do not lie," Sotomayor said.

Conservative satire to affirmative action.
The decision was splintered, with Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito joining Kennedy's opinion; Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas concurring in a separate opinion; and Justice Stephen Breyer, more often aligned with the court's liberal wing, concurring in yet another opinion.

Justice Elena Kagan recused herself from the case, presumably because of a conflict of interest from her time as U.S. solicitor general.

The opinion elicited a general reaction from the White House as President Obama headed to Asia. "The president has said that while he opposes quotas and thinks an emphasis on universal and not race-specific programs is good policy, considering race, along with other factors, can be appropriate in certain circumstances," press secretary Jay Carney said on Air Force One.

The decision in Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action comes 10 years after two seminal Supreme Court rulings out of the University of Michigan. One struck down the undergraduate school's use of a point system that included race to guide admissions. The other upheld the law school's consideration of race among many other factors.

Immediately after the law school ruling, opponents of racial preferences set to work on a state constitutional amendment that said Michigan "shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin." Voters approved it by a 58%-42% margin in November 2006.

A federal district court upheld the initiative, but a sharply divided appeals court ruled that it violated minorities' equal protection rights under the Constitution.

The writing appeared to be on the wall at the Supreme Court, based on the influence of Roberts, an opponent of racial preferences who famously wrote in another case several years ago that "the way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race."

But in this case, Kennedy was the man to watch. He wrote the court's 1996 Romer v. Evans opinion striking down a Colorado referendum that banned local governments from enacting gay rights laws. Yet he had been less enthusiastic about the use of racial preferences in several recent cases.

Opponents of the Michigan law called it a form of "political restructuring" that stops minorities from seeking admission to a university the same way an athlete or legacy applicant can. Instead, they said in an argument that Sotomayor and Ginsburg endorsed, minorities had to change the state Constitution.

In striking down the ban, the 6th Circuit cited the Supreme Court's 1969 and 1982 rulings in cases from Akron and Seattle. In those cases, the high court struck down voter-approved initiatives that had blocked the cities' pro-minority housing and school busing policies.
Satire in real sense.
But Kennedy said the appeals court misread those earlier rulings. In the new Michigan case, he said, the paramount concern is the right of citizens to deliberate, debate and act — in this case, through a constitutional amendment.

The debate has practical as well as legal implications. In Michigan and California particularly, the bans have reduced black and Hispanic enrollments at elite universities and at law, medical and professional schools. The percentages of African Americans among entering freshmen at the University of California-Berkeley, UCLA and the University of Michigan were the lowest among the nation's top universities in 2011.

During oral arguments in October, Michigan Solicitor General John Bursch disputed the validity of those statistics. He said changes in 2010 that allowed students to check more than one racial box skewed the figures.

While Michigan's argument focused on equal rights for white and minority students, some conservative scholars go further. They say doing away with affirmative action gives minority students a better chance of succeeding at less competitive schools.

Nichelle McKnight Murder Tragedy!



In the city of Dayton, Ohio, the people are mourning the life of a 25 year old mother who was found in the Stillwater River after her disappearance was sparked by the police's apprehension of a man.

She was laid to rest last week and the question remains to why a young life would suffer a tragic fate?

This is gotten regional attention and a bit of national coverage. The young mother and her son were missing for nearly a month before the Dayton Police got a lead.

Her last posting on social networks were found.










This story hits close to home, literally.

The body of the young woman was discovered close to where I live.

Her body was retrieved from the Stillwater River with apparent gun shot wounds to the head.

I had worked at my job a few days ago and met a woman who knew the victim.

She said that Nichelle would ride the bus and take her son to the daycare. She was active military. Born in San Diego but raised in Dayton, Ohio, the young mother was trying to build a future.

She didn't get along with her family. Her family wasn't that concerned about her whereabouts until recently.

The woman said that even though Nichelle was a good mother and working from time to time, she was depressed. While facing depression, she ended up falling in love with a worthless scumbag.

That worthless scumbag would groom her into romance and use her. This would rile up the other woman.

Somehow these two clashed and there was a shooting. And now this woman and her son were missing.

According to leads, the child is dead but there's no actual location to where his body is. The Dayton Police and Montgomery County Sheriff found Nichelle's body.

The suspect is dead and the other woman is in county lock up for using Nichelle's credit cards.
Antwan Anderson once had a stay of residence in the iron college. He was released. The Dayton Police and FBI were looking for this scumbag after Nichelle McKnight turned up missing. This scumbag got into a shoot out with police and ended up putting a bullet to the head (or at least what the cops say).
Police found blood and the shoes McKnight was wearing when she was reported missing in the home’s basement, along with her driver’s license, bank cards, and the Social Security cards for both McKnight and Zaden, according to the affidavit.

The home on Birchwood is the residence of Tonisha Harris, 29, who was indicted Tuesday in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court on charges related to McKnight’s disappearance. The charges include six counts of receiving stolen property and one count each of theft by deception and misuse of a credit card, all fifth-degree felonies.

Dayton Police chief Richard Biehl said the body of McKnight's son, 4-year-old Zaden, has not been found. and the search for his remains continues.

Biehl said the police department, acting on a tip at 11:25 a.m. from an unknown caller who said he was an acquaintance of McKnight's boyfriend, Antwan Anderson, pointed the search to an area behind the Riverview Park Apartments, in the 4300 block of Riverside Drive, near Shoup Mill Road, in Harrison Twp.
Police: Mother, son may have been killed in basement photo
Tonisha Harris is in county lockup after she stole credit cards from the victim. She is the other woman in the relationship. The scumbag was dating two women at the time when all this jumped off.
McKnight's body was found behind the apartments along the river bank, on a steep embankment, Biehl said. She died of "intentional trauma," he said, echoing a preliminary ruling on the woman's cause of death. An autopsy is planned for Saturday morning.

Biehl said there is no evidence that the body of Zaden is in the area, but that the department would be issuing an alert for all area law enforcement jurisdictions located south along the river.

Dayton homicide detectives searched in the same area, along the Stillwater River Trail in the area of Needmore Road and Frederick Pike, for McKnight and her son. Police have been operating on the theory that the two were presumed dead.

McKnight reportedly discovered the thefts days before she disappeared on March 25. Her body was found April 11 near the banks of the Stillwater River.

According to a Dayton police incident report, Harris allegedly stole money from McKnight’s Chase bank account, and made purchases at area Walmarts using McKnight’s credit card. In total she allegedly stole nearly $3,000. The thefts were reportedly committed at the instruction of McKnight’s boyfriend, 26-year-old Antwan Anderson, whom police said was also in a relationship with Harris.

McKnight, an Air Force reservist, is having all her funeral expenses paid for by the local Veterans of Foreign Wars. Air Force officials said McKnight was assigned to the 445th Aeromedical Staging Squadron at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base from March 21, 2008 until March 16 this year, less than two weeks before she disappeared. McKnight received the Air Force commendation medal and was never deployed.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to family of  Nichelle McKnight.

For a midsize city, Dayton, Ohio has a very big problem. As a part of the rust belt, many Americans are unemployed here. With the demand for manufacturing, one would of have thought Dayton as a viable home for jobs.

Alas, it's not.

Dayton and many other cities in the rust belt are still having a little problem. The problem is the perception theory. Many citizens avoid the city because of the perception of crime.

Crime occurs everyday in America.

However, when the media makes a story about a crime, they blow it out of proportion.

Dayton is suffering from blight, White flight and segregation. Intentional or not, Dayton is already in the toilet when it comes to viable places to live. With the high allergy rates, eyesores of abandon homes and businesses, and now 11 known homicides in the first quarter of 2014, it's no wonder Dayton is losing population.



Dana Perino: Obama's A Jerk!

Loserville hires the former press secretary for George W. Bush. She and a few other agitators debate on the 5PM show The Five on Loserville. She's drawn controversy over some not so nice words about President Barack Obama. 

I wonder if former press secretary and now Loserville host Dana Perino has the balls to say all those nasty things to the face of President Barack Obama.

As the president announced that 8 million people signed up for the Affordable Care Act, the folks over at Loserville are piss pouring over the fact that it's working.

Of course the president did show some frustration with Republicans. After all they've tried to repeal the law over 50 times. The Republican state governors refuse to take the cost cutting incentives of the law. The conservative media continues to paint the law as the "end of days".

And the president's credibility is in the toilet after the "keep your doctor" theme.

Perino who once had a spot in the White House when George W. Bush was in charge, had the audacity to complain about the president's success.

"We're getting our makeup done and we're watching, and I'm like, you know what, the President's got some good news, got some good numbers, and then I just lost it, with anger. I just don't understand why he can't help himself to just lead and say I have some good news to share with you America - I'd like to take your questions. And just leave it at that. Then people wouldn't say, 'why is he such a jerk all the time?'"

Ongoing disrespect masquerading as news is what Chief Roger does on his network.

He and his merry band of half-truths and racial extremism continues onward to piss off the president, First Lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.

The Five is a show that's been on for quite a while. It features a rotating panel of who discuss current political issues and pop culture.

A bunch of  "THOSE PEOPLE" talking shit about people of color, those who support the president and policies that could help all Americans.

Rubin "Hurricane Carter Dies At 76......





Rest in Peace, Hurricane Carter!



Here's a well-written obituary on the legend who was wrongly convicted and whose life story was brought to life in the famous movie featuring the legendary Denzil Washington.

_____________________________________________



Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, the boxer whose wrongful murder conviction became an international symbol of racial injustice, died Sunday. He was 76.
He had been stricken with prostate cancer in Toronto, the New Jersey native's adopted home. John Artis, a longtime friend and caregiver, told The Canadian Press that Carter died in his sleep.
Carter spent 19 years in prison for three murders at a tavern in Paterson, N.J., in 1966. He was convicted alongside Artis in 1967 and again in a new trial in 1976.
Carter was freed in November 1985 when his convictions were set aside after years of appeals and public advocacy. His ordeal and the alleged racial motivations behind it were publicized in Bob Dylan's 1975 song "Hurricane," several books and a 1999 film starring Denzel Washington, who received an Academy Award nomination for playing the boxer turned prisoner.
Carter's murder convictions abruptly ended the boxing career of a former petty criminal who became an undersized middleweight contender largely on ferocity and punching power.
Although never a world champion, Carter went 27-12-1 with 19 knockouts, memorably stopping two-division champ Emile Griffith in the first round in 1963. He also fought for a middleweight title in 1964, losing a unanimous decision to Joey Giardello.
In June 1966, three white people were shot by two black men at the Lafayette Bar and Grill in Paterson. Carter and Artis were convicted by an all-white jury largely on the testimony of two thieves who later recanted their stories.
Carter was granted a new trial and briefly freed in 1976, but sent back for nine more years after being convicted in a second trial.
Thom Kidrin, who became friends with Carter after visiting him several times in prison, told The Associated Press the boxer "didn't have any bitterness or anger -- he kind of got above it all. That was his great strength."
"I wouldn't give up," Carter said in an interview on PBS in 2011. "No matter that they sentenced me to three life terms in prison. I wouldn't give up. Just because a jury of 12 misinformed people ... found me guilty did not make me guilty. And because I was not guilty, I refused to act like a guilty person."
Dylan became aware of Carter's plight after reading the boxer's autobiography. He met Carter and co-wrote "Hurricane," which he performed on his Rolling Thunder Revue tour in 1975. The song concludes: "That's the story of the Hurricane/But it won't be over till they clear his name/And give him back the time he's done/Put him in a prison cell but one time he could-a been/The champion of the world."
Muhammad Ali spoke out on Carter's behalf. Advertising art director George Lois and other celebrities also worked toward Carter's release.
With a network of friends and volunteers also advocating for him, Carter eventually won his release from U.S. District Judge H. Lee Sarokin, who wrote that Carter's prosecution had been "predicated upon an appeal to racism rather than reason, and concealment rather than disclosure."
Born on May 6, 1937, into a family of seven children, Carter struggled with a hereditary speech impediment and was sent to a juvenile reform center at 12 after an assault. He escaped and joined the Army in 1954, experiencing racial segregation and learning to box while in West Germany.
Carter then committed a series of muggings after returning home, spending four years in various state prisons. He began his pro boxing career in 1961 after his release, winning 20 of his first 24 fights mostly by stoppage.
Carter was fairly short for a middleweight at 5-foot-8, but he was aggressive and threw a lot of punches. His shaved head and menacing glower gave him an imposing ring presence, but also contributed to a menacing aura outside the ring. He was quoted as joking about killing police officers in a 1964 story in the Saturday Evening Post, which was later cited by Carter as a cause of his troubles with police.
Carter boxed regularly on television at Madison Square Garden and overseas in London, Paris and Johannesburg. Although his career appeared to be on a downswing before he was implicated in the murders, Carter was hoping for a second middleweight title shot.
Carter and Artis were questioned after being spotted in the area of the murders in Carter's white car, which vaguely matched witnesses' descriptions.
Both cited alibis and were released, but were arrested months later. A case relying largely on the testimony of thieves Alfred Bello and Arthur Bradley resulted in a conviction in June 1967.
Carter defied his prison guards from the first day of his incarceration, spending time in solitary confinement because of it.
"When I walked into prison, I refused to wear their stripes," Carter said. "I refused to eat their food. I refused to work their jobs, and I would have refused to breathe the prison's air if I could have done so."
Carter eventually wrote and spoke eloquently about his plight, publishing his autobiography, "The Sixteenth Round," in 1974. Benefit concerts were held for his legal defense.
After his release, Carter moved to Toronto, where he served as the executive director of the Association in Defence of the Wrongly Convicted from 1993 to 2005. He received two honorary doctorates for his work.
Carter's papers will be sent to the Rubin Carter/John Artiz Innocence International Project at Tufts University in Boston, Kidrin said.
Director Norman Jewison made Carter's story into a well-reviewed biographical film, with Washington working closely alongside Carter to capture the boxer's transformation and redemption. Washington won a Golden Globe for the role.
"This man right here is love," Washington said while onstage with Carter at the Golden Globes ceremony in early 2000. "He's all love. He lost about 7,300 days of his life, and he's love. He's all love."
But the makers of "The Hurricane" were widely criticized for factual inaccuracies and glossing over other parts of Carter's story, including his criminal past and a reputation for a violent temper. Giardello sued the film's producers for its depiction of a racist fix in his victory over Carter, who acknowledged Giardello deserved the win.
Carter's weight and activity dwindled during his final months, but he still advocated for prisoners he believed to be wrongfully convicted.
Carter wrote an opinion essay for the New York Daily News in February, arguing vehemently for the release of David McCallum, convicted of a kidnapping and murder in 1985.
Kidrin said Carter would be cremated, with some of the ashes given to his family. Two sisters are among Carter's survivors, though Kidrin said Carter was alienated from many relatives.
Kidrin planned to sprinkle Carter's remains in the ocean off Cape Cod, where they spent the last three summers together. Artis planned to bring some of the ashes to a horse farm in Kentucky the boxer loved.
Kidrin spoke with Carter on Wednesday.
"He said, `You know, look, death's coming. I'm ready for it. But it's really going to have to take me because I'm positive to the end."'

Chris Hayes Takes On Bundy Supporter!

Right wing rancher threatens armed assault on the federal government. In his mind, he didn't violate the federal lands. So he kept on allowing his cattle graze on the land. When the government grabbed the cattle, the rancher and his supporters stood in the way with firearms in toll.

A Nevada legislator is a supporter of right wing activist Cliven Bundy. She goes to All In With Chris Hayes to spar with the liberal agitator over the controversy involving Bundy and the federal government's round up of his cattle.

Cliven Bundy is Nevada rancher who constantly kept violating the United States Bureau of Land Management's order to keep his cattle off the land. He refused to pay bills to the US government for his cattle grazing on federal lands near Bunkerville, Nevada. Bundy was eventually prohibited from grazing his cattle on the land by an order issued in 1998 by the United States District Court for the District of Nevada in United States v. Bundy.

After years of repeated violations of multiple court orders, in early April 2014 the BLM began rounding up Bundy's cattle that were trespassing on the land, confronted by protesters and armed supporters of Bundy.

Michele Fiore shows her pistol and beauty.
Media personalities have weighed in on the confrontations. During the stand-off Bundy was interviewed (via remote link) by television host That Guy Who Helped Obama Win.

That asshole stated that some fear events could wind up mirroring the Waco siege and Ruby Ridge and asked how far Bundy was willing to take his cause, he replied "my statement to the American people (is), I’ll do whatever it takes to gain our liberties and freedom back."

Talk radio show host, Tea Party activist, and former Illinois Representative Joe Walsh also supported the protesters.

Walsh, who traveled to the area and stood by Cliven Bundy as the BLM released the cattle, described the outcome as "talk radio, social media, grassroots activists, and boots-on-the-ground patriots joined together...[&] overcame the tyranny of big government."

Walsh added "we should be smart enough to know that this isn't the end. The BLM could easily show up again tomorrow, next week, or next month. ...We must be vigilant."

Assemblywoman Michele Fiore is a Republican legislator from the Las Vegas area.

A woman who's partly Italian and Latina, Fiore is an active member of the Tea Party movement. She likes to flaunt around her beauty and her many pistols.

She didn't follow the byline of what happened in reality. She would just open her damn mouth insert foot in.

Chris Hayes decides to call her on her bluff and sparks fly.

The Raw Story reports that Fiore was in Bunkerville showing her support for the rancher. She defends this standoff with the right wing rancher and the federal government.

“I’m not saying I agree with Cliven Bundy, I’m saying the way this was handled was really suspicious,” state Assembly member Michelle Fiore (R) told Hayes. “When in the heck do we send our federal government with arms to collect a bill? When do we do that? When have we ever done that? I mean, literally, if we sent our federal government to the borders to secure them against terrorist crossing, hey, I got that. But they want to come here with arms because cows are grazing?”

Fiore spoke with Hayes from outside Bunkerville, Nevada, where a crowd has formed in support of Bundy. The government holds that Bundy has refused to pay federal grazing fees for two decades, incurring a debt of more than $1 million after losing several court battles.
Right wing militia stands off with U.S. Federal Authorities.
After Bundy declared he he would give the government a “range war,” the dispute led to a stand-off between his supporters — many of whom arrived with firearms — and officials from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), who later left the area.

But Fiore accused the bureau of “coming up” with the fees in 1993 over unspecified damages, and cut Hayes off when he was about to mention that Bundy’s supporters were armed. Hayes also showed footage of one of them openly discussing being willing to kill or be killed by BLM officials during the stand-off.

“Chris, do you want them coming to your house pointing guns at your wife and children? Is that okay with you?” Fiore asked. “Because it’s defnitely not okay with me, it’s not okay with Americans across the United States.”

“Is it okay with you if every rancher in the country stopped paying their grazing fees?” Hayes asked.

“No, it’s not okay,” Fiore responded.

“Well, that’s the issue, right?” Hayes said.

“Great,” Fiore replied. “Lien the cows. Lien the property. Don’t come here with guns and expect the American people not to fire back.”

Fiore did not mention that conservative media outlets have been keen to cheerlead for future conflicts between the Bundy ranch and federal officials.

But when Hayes asked Fiore if she would support any undocumented immigrants who felt it best to have their own armed supporters on hand to resist deportation efforts, Fiore did not answer.
Chris Hayes goes to battle with Nevada legislator.
“Are we talking about cows, or are we talking about illegal immigration?” she asked, instead. “I’m talking about cows.”

“I’m talking about human beings,” Hayes retorted. “Which seems to me even more important.”

“Human beings that, thank God, did not get slaughtered,” Fiore told Hayes. “Cows did get slaughtered out here.”

“What is gonna happen to those cows later on?” Hayes asked her.

“Are you saying it’s okay to cruelly slaughter them because they’re raised for beef?” Fiore shot back. “Is that what you’re saying? I would retract those statements, because it’s pretty sad, Chris.”

“Don’t put words in my mouth,” Hayes said.

Forget Fifty Shades of a Certain Dark Color—How About Fifteen Reasons to Read The Sister Queens

Forget Fifty Shades of a Certain Dark Color—How About Fifteen Reasons to Read The Sister Queens



The Heartless Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin





How heartless of her!  When is she going to get her comeuppance?

Hear what this "governor" has to say regarding Oklahoma's ban on local government setting minimum wage.




She is truly heartless!

Paris - Sainte Chapelle: "The Holy Chapel





"La Sainte-Chapelle ( The Holy Chapel ), is the only surviving building of the Capetian royal palace on the Île de la Cité in the heart of Paris, France. It was commissioned by King Louis IX of France to house his collection of Passion Relics, including the Crown of Thorns - one of the most important relics in medieval Christendom."


The Sainte-Chapelle or 'Holy Chapel', in the courtyard of the royal palace on the Île de la Cité (now part of a later administrative complex known as La Conciergerie), was built to house Louis IX's collection of relics of Christ, which included the Crown of Thorns, the Image of Edessa and some thirty other items. Louis purchased his Passion relics from Baldwin II, the Latin emperor at Constantinople, for the sum of 135,000 livres, though this money was actually paid to the Venetians, to whom the relics had been pawned. The relics arrived in Paris in August 1239, carried from Venice by two Dominican friars. For the final stage of their journey they were carried by the King himself, barefoot and dressed as a penitent, a scene depicted in the Relics of the Passion window on the south side of the chapel. The relics were stored in a large and elaborate silver chest, the Grand-Chasse, on which Louis spent a further 100,000 livres. The entire chapel, by contrast, cost 40,000 livres to build and glaze. Until it was completed in 1248, the relics were housed at chapels at the Château de Vincennes and a specially built chapel at the Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye. In 1246, fragments of the True Cross and the Holy Lancewere added to Louis' collection, along with other relics. The chapel was consecrated on 26 April 1248 and Louis' relics were moved to their new home with great ceremony.
As well as serving as a place of worship, the Sainte-Chapelle played an important role in the political and cultural ambitions of King Louis and his successors.[2][3]With the imperial throne at Constantinople occupied by a mere Count of Flanders and with the Holy Roman Empire in uneasy disarray, Louis' artistic and architectural patronage helped to position him as the central monarch of western Christendom, the Sainte-Chapelle fitting in to a long tradition of prestigious palace chapels. Just as the Emperor could pass privately from his palace into the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople, so now Louis could pass directly from his palace into the Sainte-Chapelle. More importantly, the two-story palace chapel had obvious similarities to Charlemagne's palatine chapel at Aachen (built 792-805) - a parallel that Louis was keen to exploit in presenting himself as a worthy successor to the first Holy Roman Emperor.

Silent Kill!

Hate groups are plotting domestic attacks.

The Southern Poverty Law Center said that it's going to be an explosive year for domestic terrorism.

Proof positive that the hate groups are plotting to cause senseless destruction.

They released a report stating that the country's most notorious White extremist website may have ties to unsolved murders. And some of these members are openly bragging about it.

The report said nearly 100 people in the last five years have been murdered by frequent users of one white extremist supremacist website, "WHO CARES". The site describes itself as a community of “White Nationalists” and “the voice of the new, embattled White minority.”

Potok called on law enforcement, particularly the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, to increase its focus on racist online forums.

There's ten active hate websites online. Not to mention there's websites such as That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall. That Guy links up stories to appeal to the White extremists.

The website's founder dismiss this as propaganda created by the SPLC to tarnish a civil "pro-White" forum

Yeah, I can tell you the truth. It's real.

Could you imagine that over 1,000 active hate groups exist in the United States?

Kansas City: Is There Another Beltway Shooter?

Caught: Mohammed Whitaker, 27, of Grandview, Missouri,  has been charged with 18 felony counts in connection with about a dozen recent highway shootings that have wounded three people
27 year old man is accused of shooting at vehicles around Kansas City. The shooter would target Interstate 435 and roads near the beltway.

Kansas City metro area was on the edge of a possible beltway shooter.

Around the Interstate 435 beltway and Interstate 470 near Independence, one man posed a threat to the motorists.

The FBI and Kansas City police finally got a break.

Mohammed Pedro Whitaker has been identified as the alleged Kansas City highway shooter and has been charged with 18 felonies from 9 separate incidents around the city metro region.

Whitaker is held on a million bond.

He's going to face at least 25 to life in the iron college for this crime. Although he didn't kill anyone, he did injure people and done criminal mischief. He also fired on federally paid highways.

Police Chief Darryl Forte said at a news conference that the suspect is male and lives in Grandview, a suburb south of the city that is home to the Grandview Triangle, where several highways intersect and where at least six of the reported shootings happened.
An unnamed suspect has been taken into custody in connection with a string of random highway shootings that left three people wounded in the Kansas City, Missouri, area.
Looks like he has no remorse for the actions.
Forte didn’t release the name or age of the suspect. The media would later announce the name. The chief is hoping to discuss the case in further detail at a news conference Friday.

“We’re here now to basically let people know someone has been apprehended,” an upbeat Forte told reporters at an impromptu news conference about 50 yards from a house where the suspect was taken into custody earlier in the day. “I wanted to make sure the residents and those who travel through Kansas City know they’re safe. They’ve been safe the whole time.”

Investigators could be seen searching the single-story four-plex Thursday night, and a tow truck hauled away a green Dodge Neon that was parked behind house, which is about two blocks from Interstate 49 and south of the Grandview Triangle.
The shooter's area span into Missouri and Kansas. Mohammed Whitaker is charged with felonious assault with a deadly weapon.
Forte said the Jackson County prosecutor’s office would determine if there is enough evidence to warrant pressing formal charges.

Detectives and analysts started noticing a pattern two weeks ago after reports of random shootings started coming in. Earlier this week, investigators were looking into about 20 reports of shootings, but that number has fluctuated as some reports were cleared and others came in.
Blindsided: His father said he had no idea his son could even fire a gun
The nice guys. The most dangerous people to ever hold a gun.
Late last week, police said they had connected a dozen shootings to the same person. Forte has said little to this point about how the shootings were linked or what kind of vehicle the suspect drove.

Two of the wounded drivers were shot in the leg and the third was shot in the arm. None of their wounds were considered life-threatening.

Just this week, a White extremist went on a rampage in Overland Park, KS. He ended up killing three individuals. Glenn Frazier Miller (Cross) was a perennial candidate for office. He had notorious ties to the White extremist movement.

He thought he would take out the Jews.

These two men have stirred the pot of extremism. The Southern Poverty Law Center have determined that hate groups are on the rise and its just a matter of time before we see another event happen in America.

The agitators of the media have stroked up extremism. As you can tell, Loserville and the racist right has now a reason to point to the scary Muslims. Also since he's apparently a Black man, it's another one of Obama's sons. Breitfart or The Daily Nothing will automatically assume this man is an Obama supporter or liberal activist.

Cliven Bundy and his feud with the Bureau of Land Management has gotten major airplay and it's potentially another event in which the right wing militias will take arms against federal authorities.

This event and the shooting in Overland Park are precursor of extremism in America.

Some facts about the Kansas City metro area. The population of the city is 483,000.

The city's metro area includes Kansas City, Kansas, Raytown, Lee's Summit, Overland Park, Independence, North Kansas City, Gladstone, Olathe, and Liberty.

Interstates 29, 35, 49 and 70 are the primary highways through the city. Interstate 435 serves as the beltway through Kansas City. Other highways include Interstates 470, 670, and 635 which serve as bypasses around the metro area.
