KFC: Take That Little Girl Out Of Our Establishment!

Victoria Wilcher was a victim of a dog attack. She suffers even more horrors as she goes with her family to one of America's fast food giants.

The fast food giant is doing damage control after one of its restaurants chased off a young child. The restaurant employees were so rude to a mother and her child, this managed to bring up a major controversy.

Victoria Wilcher is a toddler who was severely injured by a pitbull. She suffered a broken jaw, the loss of her right eye and permanent facial scars.

The 3-year old and her mother were eating at Jackson, MS area KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken).

Apparently the manager and some employees told the mother and child to leave cause her injures were scaring the customers.

Now the mother went to the junk food media to shame these employees out of the restaurants.

The Jackson Clarion-Ledger reports that Victoria's Victories page page follows the medical updates for Victoria Wilcher.

The girl's photo shows Victoria bearing the facial scars of an April pit bull attack, and an eyepatch with a cartoon girl's face.

Some KFC locations closed in America. 
KFC spokesman Rick Maynard said by email, "KFC launched an investigation as soon as we were made aware of this report. We take this very seriously, as we have zero tolerance for any kind of hurtful or disrespectful actions toward our guests. Our investigation is ongoing, but we will make things right for this beautiful little girl and her family, and will work with the franchisee to take appropriate action at the restaurant."

And KFC @kfc tweeted this reply to a Clarion-Ledger staffer, "We are working hard to make this right for the family. We do not tolerate the behavior that happened in our restaurant."

On the Facebook thread earlier KFC posted, "KFC Please accept our sincere apologies while we try to investigate this incident," asked for more details and said the company has zero tolerance for any kind of disrespectful behavior by team members. "Once we have further details, we will immediately investigate this and take action, and we wish nothing but the best for Victoria in her recovery."

A Facebook status report say Victoria suffered a broken upper and lower jaw, broken nose, cheek bones and right eye socket and lost her right eye from the attack. Her bottom jaw has been reconstructed and additional surgeries await. The family is struggling financially; the Facebook report asks for prayers and support.

In the attack in Simpson County, the child had been dragged from her grandfather's mobile home by three pit bulls and had bite marks all over her body. The dogs were put down immediately.

The thread has been shared by about 900 readers, prompting many to respond with support of the girl or outrage at the restaurant. The thread said the incident happened at a KFC on State Street, but there isn't currently a Jackson KFC with that address. One on Meadowbrook is close to State Street.

"Beautiful little girl. She is welcome to dine at my table anytime," Leslie Reeves posted on the thread.

Janet Way Walker posted, "This is beyond cruel."

In the lastest posting Victoria's Victories says KFC has reached out for more information thanks to the overwhelming support for Victoria.

We here at Journal de la Reyna wish Victoria a speedy recovery.

She is a beautiful toddler. Hope this situation will be resolved. No person regardless of race, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, disability. political or economic standing should be discriminated.

20 Years Ago: The OJ Simpson Murder Case!

The "Trial of The Century". 20 years ago marks the OJ Simpson murder trial.

Man it's been that long!

I remember I was in the my high school classroom back in the Spring of 1994 when the OJ Simpson trial was going on.

Everyone was glued to the public courtroom trial of Orenthal James Simpson. He was accused of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ronald Goldman.

This trial was so polarizing and divided people among racial lines. Simpson was found not guilty in the murder but liable for their deaths. For about nearly 12 years, OJ Simpson was a free man. But his misfortunes came to court yet again when he was accused of robbing a group of men in Las Vegas.

He was sentenced to 9 to 33 years in the iron college. He is currently working on a new trial.

Many Americans believe that Simpson got away with murder. Many Black people were happy about the decision.

Did you happen to see the infamous white Ford Bronco chase on a Friday night in June of 1994?

The Bronco permanently entered American popular culture on June 17, 1994, when a white 1992 model owned and driven by Al Cowlings with O. J. Simpson, who was wanted for the murders of his ex-wife and her friend, attempted to elude the Los Angeles Police Department in a low-speed chase.

I bet that over millions of people were glued to their televisions with some jumping in the street cheering him on. It would be one of the most memorable moments in my young life.
Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman both were murdered by a butcher knife.
Watching a former football star and part time actor flee the Los Angeles Police with a gun to his head.

The O. J. Simpson murder case (officially the People of the State of California vs. Orenthal James Simpson) was a criminal trial held at the Superior Court in Los Angeles County, California, that spanned from the jury being sworn in on November 2, 1994, to opening statements on January 24, 1995, to a verdict on October 3, 1995.

The former professional football star and actor O. J. Simpson was tried on two counts of murder after the deaths of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and a waiter, Ronald Lyle Goldman, in June 1994. The case has been described as the most publicized criminal trial in American history.

Simpson was acquitted after a trial that lasted more than eight months.

Simpson hired a high-profile defense team, initially led by Robert Shapiro and subsequently led by Johnnie Cochran, and which also included: F. Lee Bailey, Alan Dershowitz, Robert Kardashian, Gerald Uelmen (the dean of law at Santa Clara University), Robert Blasier, and Carl E. Douglas, with two more attorneys specializing in DNA evidence: Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld. Los Angeles County believed it had a solid prosecution case, but Cochran was able to persuade the jurors that there was reasonable doubt about the DNA evidence (a relatively new form of evidence in trials at the time)– including that the blood-sample evidence had allegedly been mishandled by lab scientists and technicians – and about the circumstances surrounding other exhibits.

Cochran and the defense team also alleged other misconduct by the Los Angeles Police Department. Simpson's celebrity and the lengthy televised trial riveted national attention on the so-called "Trial of the Century". By the end of the criminal trial, national surveys showed dramatic differences in the assessment of Simpson's guilt between most black and white Americans.

Later, both the Brown and Goldman families sued Simpson for damages in a civil trial that came to a total of $40 million. On February 6, 1997, a jury unanimously found there was a preponderance of evidence to hold Simpson liable for damages in the wrongful death of Goldman and battery of Brown.

The Los Angeles court upheld a renewal of the civil judgment against him.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the families of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman.

Ruby Dee, RIP




RIP Ruby Dee!

Weeper Boehner: Obama "Taking A Nap" On Iraq!

Weeper John Boehner (R-OH) is complaining about early withdrawal from Iraq. A mess that he and many Republicans sent our men and women into. Now since we got out, Iraq is on the verge of civil war and the armchair warhawks are piss pouring on Obama for leaving.


If it wasn't for our gun-ho mentality, Iraq wouldn't be in the mess its in.

Our American junk food media has to always paint someone as an enemy. We went into a sovereign country on the merits of terrorism. Americans thought that the Iraqi government was harboring terrorism and weapons of mass destruction. We were to believe that Saddam Hussein was an ally of Osama bin Laden.

None of that was true. We wasted over nine years and lost over 4,350 active soldiers, hundreds of civilians, journalists and over 600,000 Iraqis. All for what? An indefinite war in the name of American execptionalism.

My co-workers were dismayed over the Beau Bergdahl situation. They believe that these "terrorists" shouldn't be freed. After spending twelve years in the Guantanamo Bay federal lock up without being criminally charged, these individuals were released for Bergdahl.

Conservatives were whining about Bergdahl being a "traitor" and "deserter". They believe that these men will return to the battlefield.

Of course, they don't see these people as individuals. They see these [people] as targets.
The insurgency spreads around Iraq.
The most annoying agitators ever to exist are King Hippo (Rush Limbaugh), O'Loofus (Bill O'Reilly), That Guy Who Helped Obama Win (Sean Hannity) and That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall (Matt Drudge).

These individuals are enablers of anti-Muslim hate. These men are the armchair warhawks who fight in front of cameras while those who volunteered for the military fight overseas. These so-called armchair warriors and even me, bitch and bemoan about these issues while our American military risks their lives for American execptionalism.

And to make this clear, there is no "real" winners of war. There are no good guys and bad guys! Conservatives and liberals don't see the grey area. They see battle lines all in the name of partisan politics.

In a war, there are no winners, only a whole lot of dead bodies and destruction of land.

George W. Bush pointed the gun in the direction of a country that nothing to do with September 11, 2001.

This war lasted nine years and caused so much waste. President Barack Obama ended this three years ago.

Now after a few years of withdrawal, conservatives are bitching about the government collapsing and they wanted more and more time in the country.

Of course, the American junk food media does go overboard when it comes to covering international situations. I mean overseas events happen. The United States can't be the world's police officer.

We can't waste time and money trying to solve every crisis in the world.

I mean there are civil wars in Thailand, Syria, Uganda, Somalia, Ukraine, Peru, and the United States Republican Party.
Revising that page in Iraq.
The armchair warhawks are now bitching about the state of affairs in Iraq. Since withdrawal, insurgents have seize control of some of the cities in the country.

Northeastern Iraq is being taken over by an insurgency that has ties to Sunni extremists.

The Iraqi insurgency was initially a response by Iraqi groups to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. The insurgency has reemerged since the withdrawal of U.S. troops in 2011, resulting in violent conflict with the central government, as well as sectarian violence between Iraq's religious groups. Since the U.S. military's withdrawal, the level of violence has risen, as Sunni militant groups have stepped up attacks targeting the country's majority Shia population to undermine confidence in the Shia-led government and its efforts to protect people without American backup.

Armed groups inside Iraq have been increasingly galvanised by the Syrian Civil War. Many Sunni factions stand against the Assad regime, which Shia groups have moved to support, and numerous members of both sects have also crossed the border to fight in Syria.

Weeper of the House John Boehner of Ohio knows his time is up. The Republican leader has complained way too much these days. He lead the most inept and ineffective Congress, ever.

He was asked about the situation in Iraq. Never on to shy away from complaining he made a snide response.

It’s not like we haven’t seen this problem coming for over a year. And it’s not like we haven’t seen, over the last five or six months, these terrorists moving in and taking control of western Iraq, now they’ve taken control of Mosul, they’re a hundred miles from Baghdad. And what’s the president doing? Taking a nap.

The American insurgency knocked off House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia and they've hailed this as this as the nail in the coffin for Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.

The president has fallen into the Second Term Curse. Everything falls on his lap.

This problem is now Obama's.

What will he do to quarrel the crisis in Iraq?

Is the president a lame duck?

As I gather my thoughts on Beau Bergdahl, we here at Journal de la Reyna will keep you informed on the situation in Iraq. If details emerge, we'll keep you covered!

The Transgender Tea Party Candidate!

Lauren Scott, the chairwoman of Equality Nevada switch parties to run for Nevada state assembly. Originally a Democrat, Scott became a Republican. This could be the first transgender lawmaker. She took a picture with Vice President Joe Biden.

Nevada Republicans could elect its first transgender candidate for the state legislature. 

The Huffington Post reports that Lauren Scott is posed to be the nominee. She is the executive director of Equality Nevada, won 58 percent of the vote Tuesday in the state Assembly's 30th District.

If Scott wins in November, she could be the nation's first openly transgender state legislator, though another transgender woman, Dana Beyer, is running in Maryland's Democratic primary for a state Senate seat and so could also win that distinction.

Winning in the legislative district, which encompasses parts of Democratic-leaning Reno, could prove to be a challenge. However, Scott thinks her background -- she used to be a Democrat, registering as a Republican in 2011 -- may help her in her bid to unseat the Democratic incumbent, State Assemblyman Michael Sprinkle.

“I have always been a moderate and I am willing to work with Democrats and Republicans to find solutions to the problems facing Nevada today,” Scott said in a statement after her victory.

Scott was as an active-duty member of the U.S. Air Force for nearly seven years.

According to her website, she claims that her party change started when she was disenchanted with both political parties and had originally registered as non-partisan. 

Scott agree with many issues the Democrats supports but the issues of taxation and business development, she supports Republicans.

On Thursday, Scott suggested that she'd have national support from the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, a group that works to elect LGBT candidates to office.

Now you understand that the Republican Party isn't that tolerant of the LGBT community. They happen to be the party that is trying to pass legislation that openly discriminates against transgender Americans.

This candidate will have to work hard to get her Republican friends to support her.

Drugged And Stripped!

Beauty is the mastermind. Karina Pascucci was charged with prostitution, felonious assault and grand larceny.

The U.S. Justice Department is cracking down on human trafficking and online prostitution.

Some of the prostitutes are turning to the online world instead of the streets.

Facebook, Twitter, POF, Badoo, OkCupid, backpage, Craigslist, and eHarmony are the new way for prostitutes to meet their johns. The pimps are becoming more equipped with the internet as well.

They'll recruit young women who are often runaways and drug abusers to be their "lovers" and "best friends".

They'll play psychological games in their heads. The pimp will give them "candy" or tell them the tales of being not wanted. Usually it begins with the promise in making a little extra money either through stripping or modeling.

Some women (and transgender women) are likely to engage in drugs and practice in unsafe sex. That's gives the risk of sexuality transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS.

 A crew of New York City strippers scammed wealthy men by spiking their drinks with "molly" or other drugs, then driving them to strip clubs that ran up tens of thousands of dollars on their credit cards while they were too wasted to stop it, authorities said today. A banker and a real estate attorney were among four unnamed victims who lost at least $200,000.

DEA and NYPD investigators arrested four women—all described as professional strippers—earlier this week on charges including grand larceny, assault, and forgery; one of the women is expected to appear in state court in Manhattan later today following appearances yesterday by the other three, including suspected ringleader Samantha Barbash.
Samantha Barbash was arrested for grand larceny, prostitution and human trafficking.
Investigators say the women arranged to meet the men at upscale bars in New York and Long Island, dosed them, then took them to Scores in Manhattan and the RoadHouse in Queens, where they were charged for private rooms, expensive meals, drinks, and other services. The clubs paid the women for the visits, but the establishments are not facing criminal charges, authorities say.

The men reported waking up in their cars or in hotel rooms with little or no memory of the encounters. Those who tried to dispute the strip club bills allegedly received texts from the strippers threatening to go public with their transgressions.

One of the women, Karina Pascucci, and the manager, Carmine Vitolo, pleaded not guilty on Wednesday in state court in Manhattan. The other three defendants, including suspected ringleader Samantha Barbash, were arraigned on Tuesday.

Barbash's attorney, Stephen Murphy, said Wednesday that his client denies the charges. Pascucci's lawyer, Patrick Parrotta, said his client is a college student with no criminal record who worked as a waitress at Scores in Manhattan but never stripped there. A lawyer for Vitolo, Murray Richman, denied charges the club manager helped set up the men.

According to Drug Enforcement Administration and New York Police Department investigators, the scheme began with the women going on "fishing" expeditions at bars in midtown Manhattan and on Long Island to lure in victims. On follow-up dates, they secretly dosed the victim's drinks with the stimulant methylone, commonly known as "molly," or the tranquilizer ketamine.

The dazed and confused victims were driven to Scores and the RoadHouse in Queens, where their credit cards were swiped and unauthorized charges recorded, some as high as $50,000. The clubs paid the women a fee, but the establishments were not facing criminal charges, authorities said.

The men reported waking up in their cars or in hotel rooms, wondering how they got there. Those who tried to dispute the strip club bills received texts from the strippers threatening to go public with their transgressions, authorities said.

"The defendants were banking on the victims being too afraid to contact the police, but as the indictment and arrests show, they made a serious miscalculation," Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget G. Brennan said.

Last month, Scores sued Younan, saying he owed the club $135,303 for unpaid services. According to the lawsuit, the doctor disputed the charges by saying "he was drugged by plaintiff's employees and thus did not authorize the charges" — a claim the club says is contradicted by security video showing him freely showing up there on four separate occasions.

The arrests exposed how "my client was preyed upon by this ring and not responsible for charges to his credit card," Younan's attorney, Michael Weinstein, said Wednesday.

There was no immediate response to phone messages left Wednesday at Scores and the RoadHouse.



Mark Levin: Republicans Better Stop Chasing Genitalia!

Right wing extremist whines about Republicans being a bunch of pussies.

In the wake of the devastating defeat of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia, Republicans are now scrambling to be in the position.

Republicans across the country practically wrote the insurgents off.

Alas, this gadfly of history still exist!

They're celebrating this victory of political newcomer Dave Brat as the slaughter of the establishment.

Brat ran against House Majority Leader Eric Cantor for the Republican nomination for Virginia's 7th congressional district and defeated Cantor by a 12-point margin.

Brat was outspent by Cantor 40 to 1.

Cantor spent over $5 million and Brat raised $200,000, but did not spend all of it.

Brat's win was a historic and stunning victory, as it was the first time a sitting House Majority Leader had lost a primary race since the creation of the position in the 19th century.

Brat ran well to Cantor's right. His campaign laid particular stress on opposing immigration reform, stating Rep. Cantor favored "amnesty" for illegal immigrants.

Cantor was a key figure and highly polarizing member. He basically was caught off guard by this defeat.
The Tea Party scalped Eric Cantor. Dave Brat will face Democrat in general election.
I mean Cantor had more money, more name recognition, had the establishment and the Tea Party backing him. The Cantor campaign threw the gauntlet at Brat and felt that it could have defeated him.

But his constituents in Virginia's Congressional District 7, Cantor didn't care too much. He felt comfortable in his state. But unfortunately the people felt that his quest to usurp Ohio lawmaker Weeper Boehner, was not what they wanted. They wanted a lawmaker who did things for the district.

I guess from the racist right comes Mark "Ratface" Levin. He's an extremely controversial talker on the AM dial and a good friend of That Guy Who Helped Obama Win.

Him along with Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham came out swing against the establishment. They were on Loserville doing a victory lap.

They were blasting the Republicans for not doing enough to defeat President Barack Obama and knee toeing to people they've deem insufficiently conservative. They want no association with the Club for Growth, no more Chamber of Commerce, no Karl Rove, no more Bob Dole and no more establishment backroom deals.
Blonde agitators Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham endorsed insurgent candidate.
Levin managed to attract attention on last night's right wing carnival. He said to That Guy Who Helped Obama Win in an epic rant:

We see the country slipping away, at least the kind of country that we want. Why is it so hard for these guys to articulate our principles? They talk about Reagan, but they're Rockefeller Republicans. And what's ironic about this is the main opponent to Reagan in 1980 was George H.W. Bush, and now it's Jeb Bush, his son, who seems to be the main opponent to conservatives who are trying to rally behind a candidate in order to take this country back. And when I say take the country back, I mean from a president who is an imperial president, who every day says he's going to act unilaterally and does across the board. We wake up in the morning,w e don't know the next outrageous thing he's going to do, and Congress acts like it has no power, it has power, it has the power of the purse, it's got the power to do other things, and it needs to do it. And they're afraid of Obama, they're afraid to take these steps, and you can see there is a growing anger among many American people, not just Republicans.

I'll tell you one other thing: You look at this election 2012 with Obama. Obama should have been beaten by a halfway decent presidential candidate in the Republican Party who could articulate the principles of the party and expose Obama's fecklessness and weakness. We didn't do it. Millions of people stayed home. And who were they? Reagan Democrats. Blue-collar Democrats. Stop chasing ethnic groups, stop chasing genitalia, talk to the American people about liberty, opportunity. Explain to them that Obama's wrong and we need to unleash the American people and the economy.



The racist right will waste no time trying to look at this upset as an example of government going out of control. They will find ways to unseat Mississippi senator Thad Cochran in the Republican primary runoff.

Brat will face Democratic nominee Jack Trammell, also a professor at Randolph–Macon College, in the November general elections.  Brat is heavily favored due to the 7th's significant Republican lean; it has a Cook Partisan Voting Index of R+10.

Walmart Truck Driver Charged In Tracy Morgan Incident!

Kevin Roper is etched in stone as the guy who seriously injured comedian Tracy Morgan.

The man who was driving the semi-truck on the New Jersey Turnpike didn't get sleep. He's been up for over 24 hours. Now he's getting rest in the county lockup. As he prepares to lose not only his job at the world's largest employer but the freedom of having a vehicle. Not to mention that he'll be forever known as the guy who injured Tracy Morgan and killed his friend fellow comedian James McNair.

He's facing vehicular homicide for the death of Jimmy Mac.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Jimmy Mac.

CNN reports that Kevin Roper, 35, is charged with vehicular homicide and assault by auto in the Saturday morning crash on the New Jersey Turnpike.

A Walmart spokeswoman issued a news release that said it was investigating the case.

"With regards to news reports that suggest Mr. Roper was working for 24 hours, it is our belief that Mr. Roper was operating within the federal hours of service regulations," Brooke Buchanan said in a written statement, referring to limits of 11 hours driving in a 14-hour period followed by 10 hours of rest.

The wreck took place about 1 a.m. Saturday when the limo bus Morgan was in was hit by a tractor-trailer on the New Jersey Turnpike, police said.
Tracy Morgan survived the accident but is still fighting for his life. His friend Jimmy Mac (aka James McNair) was killed in the accident.

Morgan was a passenger in a Mercedes Sprinter limousine involved in a 6-vehicle accident in New Jersey. Just after 1:00am EDT Saturday morning the limousine bus, carrying Morgan and six others, was traveling northbound on the New Jersey Turnpike just north of Trenton, New Jersey when it was struck from behind by a tractor-trailer operated by Walmart, causing a chain reaction crash.

The four comedians, along with Morgan's assistant and two limo company employees, had been returning from an engagement at Dover Downs Hotel & Casino in Dover, Delaware as part of Morgan's "Turn it Funny" comedy stand-up tour.

The crash killed Morgan's friend and collaborator, 63-year-old comedian James McNair.

Morgan was taken by helicopter to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, New Jersey where he is reported to be in a responsive but critical condition in the intensive care unit.

Eric Cantor Defeated In GOP Primary!

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia was defeated in Virginia primary.

House Majority Leader, Representative Eric Cantor of Virginia got the pink slip by fellow Republicans. It seems like this is the first major victory of the insurgency.

Tea Party endorsed Dave Brat put an end to the long-term legislator.

USA Today reports Brat, an economics professor at Randolph Macon College in Ashland, Va., had been making an issue of Cantor's desire to pass an immigration bill.

In a sign of Tea Party discontent in Cantor's Richmond-based district, activists booed and heckled the Virginia Republican in March.
Dave Brat will be the Republican nominee for the 7th Congressional District in Virginia.

Cantor was the U.S. Representative for Virginia's 7th congressional district, serving since 2001. A member of the Republican Party, he became House Majority Leader when the 112th Congress convened on January 3, 2011. He previously served as House Minority Whip from 2009 to 2011.

His district includes most of the northern and western sections of Richmond, along with most of Richmond's western suburbs and portions of the Shenandoah Valley. Cantor is the highest-ranking Jewish member of Congress in its history, and currently Congress' only Jewish Republican.

Dave Brat beat the majority leader on the whims of being a part of the establishment.

Did you know that love isn't always political?

Cantor met his wife, Diana Marcy Fine, on a blind date; they were married in 1989.

They have three children: Evan, Jenna, and Michael. Fine is a lifelong, liberal Democrat. Contrary to her husband's stated positions, she is pro-choice and supports same-sex marriage.

Well it seems like Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will now have to watch what they do the next go around. They managed to fight off their primary foes. But Cantor, being a highly polarizing figure in the party was shaken out of the tree.

Some Of The Right's Friends!

JERAD MILLER AMANDA MILLER
Two white extremists kill two Las Vegas cops before they killed themselves. There is an ongoing rise of extremism created by those in the conservative agitating media.

I am going to gather my thoughts together over the Beau Bergdahl controversy. I want to get all the information together before I make a decision to whether I cover this issue or move on. I know this issue has gotten a lot of press since President Barack Obama announced the release of the sergeant from the helms of the Taliban. This deal was a prisoner swap which got those bitch ass Republicans and spineless Democrats in a bit of fury.

But as they're fighting the armchair battles in Washington, a real war is going on in Afghanistan and here in small town America.

Over the past two weeks, we have seen a few events in which anti-government rhetoric has increased.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has on record over 1,000 active hate groups. These extremists are plotting for domestic attacks upon Americans.

Since the Cliven Bundy event, many White extremists are getting really delusional about the way government is operating. Conservative agitators and their allies in the Republican Party have stirred the nest and now it's bound to explode and we're going to see more mass shootings.

Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Alex Jones, Sarah Palin, Greta Van Susteren, Matt Drudge, Michael Savage and Tucker Carlson are enablers of the racist right. Their voices are inspiring more extremism.

If the incidents in Santa Barbara and Seattle don't curb gun violence, then these incidents in Georgia and Nevada aren't going to change much either.

Dennis Marx, Amanda Miller and Jerad Miller went on a rampage. These figures were part of the White extremist movement. A movement that is plotting a war against those they've deemed inferior.

The law, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, immigrants, gays, Muslims, low income individuals and those who support President Barack Obama are targets of extremists.

These people can't stomach interracial marriage, gay marriage, abortions, immigration reform, political correctness, taxation, and government intrusion.
Dennis Marx (Forsyth County Jail)
Dennis Marx was the White extremist who opened fire on Forsyth sheriff deputies this month.
They plot for usurping local governments, law enforcement and those in the public sector.

These individuals are more dangerous than international terrorists. While the racist right is working double time on Muslim extremism, they've involuntarily let the White extremist go through without being noticed.

Dennis Marx drove up to the courthouse in his SUV and emerged from the vehicle with several guns and some explosives, and reportedly wearing a bulletproof vest and a gas mask. As he approached the entrance, he threw out homemade smoke grenades that briefly covered his approach with orange smoke, as well as pepper spray grenades and homemade spike strips.

Forsyth County deputy Daniel Rush came out to confront Marx and was shot in the leg. Then, as Marx proceeded into the building, he was met with a hail of gunfire and was killed.

The wounded deputy, a 25-year veteran, was taken to a local hospital and treated. Sheriff Piper praised him, saying Rush’s actions stalled Marx long enough for SWAT team officers and other deputies to arrive in place and protect the people working inside.

“It would be a guess to think how many lives he saved had he not engaged him right there,” Piper said. “Mr. Marx’s intention was to get inside that front door and to take hostages.”
Amanda Miller (Facebook)
Amanda Miller putting the rounds in.
Marx shot at Georgia deputies at a Forsyth County court house. He managed to hit a few law enforcement agents before they've put the two piece combo in him.

Piper said that Marx was well known as a “sovereign citizen” to deputies at the time of the attack. Marx had a long-running lawsuit against the sheriff’s office over alleged unconstitutional raids on his home, and was due in court Friday morning to face marijuana and weapons charges.

Marx apparently had been living for the past week in a motel. When deputies went to his home, they found evidence that it had been rigged to blow up when law enforcement entered. Piper told a WSB-TV reporter he was confident the place had been set up as an explosive trap.

“We are quite certain it’s booby-trapped with the purpose of killing law enforcement,” he said. Piper noted that it appeared Marx had been planning the assault for some time.

This was not mentioned on Loserville's primetime programs.

And of course we know what "incompetence" is in dog whistle. This has been a theme among those in the racist right and That Guy Who Helped Obama Win is by far the only reason why this anti-government rhetoric nonsense built up to dangerous precedents.

This recent incident in Las Vegas is a sign of the events to come. We're on the path to seeing these extremists strap themselves up with explosives.

Why use their Second Amendment rights?

They could cause more damage if they just strap a bomb to themselves and enter a crowd area.

I don't condone this type of stuff. But I fear that White extremists are taking the same strategies used by international terrorists.

The Millers were at the Bundy Ranch last month. They were some of those figures with firearms and telling the public that the feds best beware. They're willing to die for their freedoms.

Two of the victims were law enforcement. The other was an innocent victim. Jerad Miller, 31, and his wife Amanda Miller, 22, shot and killed Las Vegas police officers Alyn Beck and Igor Soldo, and a civilian identified as Robert Wilcox, during their shooting spree.

Even the good guys with the guns couldn't stop the rampage. According to police, Robert Wilcox, 31, was carrying a concealed weapon and confronted Jerad Miller. Wilcox was apparently unaware of an armed Amanda Miller and when he walked by her to confront her husband, she shot him in the rib area.

A shootout with pursuing officers ensued, during which Amanda went ahead and put a few slugs in the head of Jerad before she did her selfie.

Las Vegas Metropolitan assistant sheriff Kevin McMahill said Jerad Miller had a criminal background and was a convicted felon.

"[We have] no doubt the suspects [had] some apparent ideology along the lines of militia and white supremacists," McMahill added. "We believe that they equated government ... with Nazis."

Videos reveal a disturbing history of Jared and Amanda. On one YouTube video, Jared is crying and bemoaning about Amanda and telling the world he'll fight for his freedom. He was placed on house arrest.

Be warned these videos are disturbing.

They were quoted on Reno television KRNV: "I feel sorry for any federal agents that want to come here and try to push around or anything like that. I really don’t want violence toward them but if they're gonna come and bring violence to us, well, if that’s the language they want to speak, we’ll learn it."

The sovereign citizen movement is a loose grouping of American litigants, commentators, tax protesters and financial scheme promoters. Self-described sovereign citizens take the position that they are answerable only to common law and are not subject to any statutes or proceedings at the federal, state, or municipal levels, or that they do not recognize U.S. currency and that they are "free of any legal constraints".

They especially reject most forms of taxation as illegitimate.

Participants in the movement argue this concept in opposition to "federal citizens" who, they say, have unknowingly forfeited their rights by accepting some aspect of federal law.

Many members of the sovereign citizen movement believe that the U.S. Government is illegitimate.

JJ MacNab, who writes for Forbes about anti-government extremism, describes the sovereign citizen movement as consisting of individuals who believe that the County Sheriff is the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country, with authority superior to that of any federal agent, elected official, or local law-enforcement.

The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) classifies some sovereign citizens ("sovereign citizen extremists") as a domestic terrorist movement.

In 2010 the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) estimated that approximately 100,000 Americans were "hard-core sovereign believers" with another 200,000 "just starting out by testing sovereign techniques for resisting everything from speeding tickets to drug charges."

Failed Porn Gig Led To Woman Killing Herself!

A young woman pulls the trigger on herself after she failed to get a XXX-deal.

The Atlanta Constitution-Journal reports that a Las Vegas woman managed to pull the trigger on herself after she couldn't score a gig in the porn industry. I mean how desperation turned to a death sentence.

You're beautiful and because of a rejection this young woman would kill herself.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Alyssa Funke.

Beautiful and young, Alyssa Funke went to Las Vegas and “auditioned” for a porn movie via a website.

After the video went public, the former straight-A student's old classmates in Stillwater, Minnesota, began sending her messages.

Some were surprised, some negative, and others supportive. She answered a few with social media posts of her own, including “Pornstar status” and “FAMOUS for dayzzzzz.”

However, it all took a toll, and the young woman bought a shotgun and drove to her family’s boat, where she killed herself.

KMSP-TV reports Funke’s family confirmed she had a history of depression. Her father is in prison, and her mother has been charged with dealing drugs. They say Alyssa also had struggles with money.

Funke's family blame her death, in part, on online bullying. But the sheriff’s office said the messages she was sent did not amount to criminal harassment.

Alyssa’s family said they are talking about her death now because they want to keep other girls from making the same mistake. They want young women to understand the pressure that comes from social media and the stigma porn carries.

They also said they would like to bring attention to bullying and the effect it can have on somebody.

Under the name Stella Ann, she would have sex with a man. The former students of Stillwater High School in Minnesota were taunting her and sending harassing comments. This took a toll.

The cyberbullying drove her to death.

Once you post something online that could be embarrassing, it's there forever!

With cyberbullying, I want to make this clear: MEN ARE LIKELY THE ONES WHO ENGAGE IN THIS BEHAVIOR!

The cyberbully/cyberstalker creates emotional distress. The individual can ruin your reputation and cost you your job. Having someone posting your personal address and phone number in a fake profile is the ultimate insult. The cyberbully/cyberstalker invite problems by harassing you with personal threats and unwanted advances.

It's only funny, until someone gets hurt. And believe me it's getting worse.
