Nebraska Parade Brings The Outhouse To Obama!

We're in the abyss!

The United States declared independence 238 years ago on July 4, 1776. The founding fathers of this nation gave their lives so all Americans could achieve the dream.

Above is the freedom of speech. The freedom of speech in a negative way.

The first Black president is ranked among the worst since World War II. President Barack Obama beats out George W. Bush and Richard Nixon as the worst president since the great war. A sign that Democrats are likely lose control of the Senate (hereby losing Congress) to the Republicans.

Why is that?

Could be something to do with his policies (ah hem race)?

Most Black people should have seen this coming! I mean the "FIRST BLACK AMERICAN PRESIDENT" will always get the most flack. You knew the extremists would be livid over him being elected twice.

We haven't seen much improvement between White and Black Americans. The divide has gotten wider.

White families seem to do much better under the policies of Obama than Blacks. Although, Whites want you to believe that Blacks and Hispanics do better under Obama. They believe Blacks vote solely on race and not on policies.

White people often would tell me, "That I don't want to offend you...."

You know that the first thing you'll get in the beginning. But "Obama is doing...."

And of course, they'll word vomit every thing they could think of. From immigration to the crisis over in the Middle East. They would complain about policies that were proposed but never passed. They will generate conspiracies about the president's executive orders. Some would question his birthplace, his religion and even have the nerve to call him a NIGGER.

But this is why the freedom of speech is granted for this. I hate this stuff.

But who's gonna stop them from being an American bigot. Or at least an American extremist!

Norfolk, NE has a parade float that caused a lot of controversy. On Friday, that float came across the main road and it said "Obama's Presidential Library". It was an outhouse on the back of truck with a dummy and a couple of nooses.

Driven by a White guy, seen by a Black family. Picture was taken by the Black family and it went viral.

Now the junk food media is wondering why city leaders allowed this "freedom of speech" come through!

I mean honestly in the state of Nebraska, President Barack Obama has little support there. But still the utter disrespect towards him comes straight out of the playbook of Loserville.

CBS reports that the float, in the annual Independence Day parade in Norfolk, NE., was affixed to trailer being towed behind a blue pickup truck. The dummy was clad in overalls, standing by a walker next to the outhouse.

The pickup truck and the float did not identify a sponsor, according to the Omaha World-Herald.

In a statement, the Nebraska Democratic Party called the float one of the "worst shows of racism and disrespect for the presidency that Nebraska has ever seen," according to the World-Herald.

Glory Kathurima, a black woman living in Norfolk, attended the parade with her nine year-old daughter. She told CBS News Omaha affiliate KMTV she was outraged by the float and disgusted that her daughter witnessed it.

"I'm ashamed, I'm appalled," she said. "You see people laughing and pointing at it, smiling, looking positive about it. I immediately felt sick to my stomach...I knew what that meant, and I knew there was no sort of political statement being made by an image like that."

Norfolk City Councilman Dick Pfeil told the World-Herald that the city "doesn't condone" the float.

But one of the parade's organizers, Rick Konopasek, told the Lincoln Journal-Star the float was intended to be no more offensive than a political cartoon. He said the outhouse was the most popular float in the parade, and that it earned an "honorable mention" from three judges.

"It's obvious the majority of the community liked it," Konopasek said. "So should we deny the 95 percent of those that liked it their rights, just for the 5 percent of people who are upset?"

Really, how about a Black or Hispanic person put together a float saying "THE TEA PARTY IS A RACIST'S BEST FRIEND!" or "IT'S GONNA BE WHOLE LOT A BROWN IN 30 YEARS! BUSH ENDED IN ERROR! OBAMA BEGINS IN TRANSITION!"

I would love to see the reaction of those insurgents of the Republican Party!

Republicans Want You To Pay Up To Celebrate Bush's Birthday!

President George W. Bush's birthday is today. The Republican Party is trying to bank off the legacy of one of the 21st Century's most ineffective leaders. 

I will no longer receive newsletters from the Republican National Committee anymore.

What has the Republican Party done so far to win my support?

Nothing.

Other than attack the president at every whim. For a Republican, that's good. For an independent, you want bipartisanship or at least something that could be beneficial to Americans.

Republicans offer nothing but useless ideas.

I am so fed up with the Republican Party and their endless bitching. Tired of the same old faces and same old repetitive talking points from the Republicans and their conservative allies.

I am watching GOP Sundays again with those old geezers Martha Raddatz, Bob Schieffer, David Gregory and that Smirking Monkey dude on Loserville.

This the country's 238th birthday and on GOP Sunday, all you get is the same old tired looking Republican agitators and that one Democrat who just loves to rant.

Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC), John McCain (R-AZ) and Dick Durbin (D-IL) are the perennial annoyances of GOP Sundays. CBS's Face The Nation is within striking distance of NBC's Meet The Press. With that being said, each of these lawmakers make their case against the Sunni terrorist group ISIS and immigration reform. These issue are highly controversial but you'll never see a person of color, a religious scholar or a person who can testify to the situation.

The old WHITE male continues to dominate breakfast chats and GOP Sundays.

Here's the Republican newsletter that I've gotten in my email box. This one makes me shake my head.

Hillary Clinton meets with a protester who dressed up a squirrel saying that a Clinton in the White House is NUTS!

Here's the newsletter I gotten in my email:

Friend,

Resolute and decisive.

That’s what I remember when I think of the leadership of President George W. Bush. He led our nation through some of the most challenging moments of our nation’s history.

He led.

The President we have today thinks our country should “lead from behind” and has significantly diminished the United States’ standing in the world — and worse, he has made us less safe.

I miss the leadership of President George W. Bush. And I miss him.

I had the privilege of serving in his White House, and I saw the character that he and his family provided our nation. I will be forever grateful for their service.

Tomorrow is President George W. Bush’s Birthday. It’s a moment that has reminded us of what leadership in the White House really looks like. And we’re working to send principled leaders to the Senate and House in 2014 and to the White House in 2016.

Would you help make that possible by contributing $27 to get your official “I Miss W.” t-shirt today before his birthday?

Order your official “I Miss W.” t-shirt today.

Thank you,

Sara Armstrong
RNC Chief Operating Officer

P.S. If you haven’t already, you can still sign President George W. Bush’s birthday card here.

For one, I wish George W. Bush a good 68th birthday. He continues to stay out of the political limelight.

Vice President Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Karl Rove, Michael Chertoff and numerous other Republicans continue to open their damn mouths and insert their foots in.

They were part of the reason why American went into a recession. They were the reason why September 11, 2001 happened. That didn't keep anyone safe. It kept us divided and destroyed a whole lot of people's lives. We lost 5,000 men and women in combat under two presidents in Afghanistan and Iraq.

It's better that we stay out of these conflicts. If we meddle in these affairs, we're assuring ourselves another 9/11. It's best to keep a distance but keep our defenses strong.

The economy is recovering but not fast enough. The Republicans refuse to pass the president's proposals.

Republicans want to continue pushing austerity and tax breaks for high end earners.

Republicans blocking Obama is the only thing they've got. And yes, it's effective.

President Barack Obama is the worst president since World War II, 33 percent of American voters say in a Quinnipiac University National Poll released today. Another 28 percent pick President George W. Bush.

Ronald Reagan is the best president since WWII, 35 percent of voters say, with 18 percent for Bill Clinton, 15 percent for John F. Kennedy and 8 percent for Obama, the independent Quinnipiac University poll finds.

They knew when they got keys to the White House the problems would come as soon as they open the door.

Among Democrats, 34 percent say Clinton is the best president, with 18 percent each for Obama and Kennedy.

Obama has been a better president than George W. Bush, 39 percent of voters say, while 40 percent say he is worse. Men say 43 - 36 percent that Obama is worse than Bush while women say 42 - 38 percent he is better. Obama is worse, Republicans say 79 - 7 percent and independent voters say 41 - 31 percent. Democrats say 78 - 4 percent that he is better.

Voters say by a narrow 37 - 34 percent that Obama is better for the economy than Bush.

America would be better off if Republican Mitt Romney had won the 2012 presidential election, 45 percent of voters say, while 38 percent say the country would be worse off.

Missing Mitt are Republicans 84 - 5 percent and independent voters 47 - 33 percent, while Democrats say 74 - 10 percent that the U.S. would be worse off with Romney.

Facebook Is Deliberately Trying To Piss People Off!

Social network got heat after it tried to make people jealous for no reason.

Just today, I seen some of my former friends (yeah, I said it) profiles appear at the top of my Facebook feed page.

One of them was this nasty woman I regretted I ever dated. I won't say her name, but she wasn't one of the most pleasant women I've dated. I see her profile pop up on my page. And I went right to the function, "DO NOT SHOW".

Facebook is the world's most popular social networking website. It's also the most controversial website ever to be created. It's like HIGH SCHOOL all over again! Seriously, it's like I've went back to my old high school and see these bozos once again but through their profiles.

I mean I don't give a rat's ass about these former friends, former girlfriends and people I've worked with before. Whenever I see pictures of women I used to date, I sometimes sigh! I see them with children who aren't mine. I see them with boyfriends or husbands who aren't me! I see friends and associates who know me but would never accept "my invites".

I am certainly glad they've move on pass me. But for me personally, I don't give a care about them or their personal lives.

I am guessing there's a huge controversy going over in Menlo Park. Facebook is doing some damage control after it was revealed that it was deliberately trying to make some users jealous of their friends for a social experiment.

I seen it. And I am none too thrill about it.

Another reason why the social networking website is on the downward slide. I mean has Facebook reached it peak?

YEAH.

And it's going down. Give it six years and people will be saying "What's Facebook?"

Nerdy. Chairman and CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg.

Sheryl Sandberg, the COO of Facebook came out with a huge apology. She stopped short of issuing a heartfelt apology. She called this experiment a "success".

“This was part of ongoing research companies do to test different products, and that was what it was; it was poorly communicated,” Sandberg, Facebook’s chief operating officer, told the Wall Street Journal while travelling in New Delhi. “And for that communication we apologize. We never meant to upset you.”

I must have been one of those 700,000 idiots who Facebook used as a target for social depression.

They often would tweak the most active users profiles to top feed. They would put their feeds on the non-active users (such as myself). They would often show the profiles of braggers. People who are addicted to the social networking. Putting their business out there so the world knows. People would often get jealous and it would lead to depression.

The Washington Post reports that Sandberg’s statement was the first public comment by a Facebook executive on the controversy since it erupted over the weekend, prompting anger from many Facebook users and criticism from some academics who said it was unethical to manipulate users’ emotions without informed consent.

In the study, researchers at Facebook tweaked what hundreds of thousands of users saw in their news feeds, skewing content to be more positive or negative than normal in an attempt to manipulate their moods. Then they checked users’ status updates to see if the content affected what they wrote. They found that, yes, Facebook users’ moods are affected by what they see in their news feeds. Users who saw more negative posts would write more negative things on their own walls, and likewise for positive posts.

Sandberg’s apology is not likely to appease some, such as Robert Klitzman, a psychiatrist and ethics professor critical of the study, who said in a column for CNN that “the problem is not only how the study was described, but how it was conducted.”

Facebook has since implemented stricter guidelines, the Journal reported. Research other than routine product testing is reviewed by a panel of 50 internal experts in fields such as privacy and data security. Company research intended for publication in academic journals goes through a second round of review, again by in-house experts.

The upset over Facebook’s mood study is “a glimpse into a wide-ranging practice,” Kate Crawford, a visiting professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Center for Civic Media and a principal researcher at Microsoft Research told the Journal. Companies “really do see users as a willing experimental test bed” to be used at the companies’ discretion.

See my honest opinion about Facebook. I offer my honest take on how the world's most popular website has taken me down the path to despair and how I overcame my addiction to Facebook.

It's Not A Good Holiday For Davion Only!

Davion Henry (Only) is back in foster care after he got into a confrontation with his adoptive family.

The teen who gain national attention for being the kid no one wanted to adopt is back in the news.

Apparently he's no longer allowed in the home of his adoptive family. Just two weeks ago, that boy and his adoptive family were on That Guy Who Helped Obama Win's program.

All things ain't so rosy in household. An altercation at the home of his potential family in Ohio turned him back to the Florida Department of Family Services.

And to make this worse, Davion Henry (Only) dropped everything. He killed off the social networking websites. He will no longer hold conversations with the junk food media and he's probably in a state of despair.

Some people who previously adopted him said that he had a huge temper. Apparently this temper built up after being shunned by his original family and probably molested as a child.

Before this incident, we here at Journal de la Reyna were following this controversy. Thousands of Americans were hoping to adopt the young man.

On paper, this was the book-definition perfect family for him. The father was a pastor who had worked with troubled kids. They knew about Davion's background and his issues.

The Tampa Bay Times reports that Davion came back to Florida just long enough to pack a small suitcase.

Then he returned to Ohio, where his prospective parents signed him up to play football — something he had always wanted to do.

"I got baptized!" he wrote April 20, from his new phone, on his new Facebook page.

The adoption could take place in 90 days, said Terri Durdaller, whose agency, Eckerd, oversees Tampa Bay's foster children. That would have meant that Davion could be adopted this month.

Instead, he is back in Pinellas County, at a therapeutic foster home, upset and embarrassed, unwilling to talk.

"There was an incident in Ohio," said Eckerd's director, Lorita Shirley. At one point, she said, things got physical between Davion and another child in the house, and with the dad. The family wanted him out.

On May 30, Davion's case manager flew to Ohio and brought him back to Florida.

"This has been a major setback for him," Shirley said. "Our goal now is to get him treatment."

CHiPs Caught On Tape Beating Up Woman!

This event makes Friday news tonight. A California Highway Patrol officer is under fire for using excessive force against a female suspect they accused of acting crazed on a busy stretch of highway.

There was a man who filmed the event and the shocking video went viral. This event happened on Tuesday and the junk food media is now on it.

The NAACP and of course Rev. Perm are going to be ready to strike.

Knowing that California law enforcement and the Black and Latino communities aren't the best of friends, the possibility of unrest could occur.

 The video posted on YouTube shows the cop pursuing the woman on foot past an I-10 on-ramp. Those recording it can be heard laughing at first.

CHP says the officer asked the woman to stop, but she refused and continued to walk away from him.

"A physical altercation ensued as the pedestrian continued to resist arrest, at which point a plain clothes, off duty officer assisted in applying the handcuffs," the CHP said in a statement given to KABC.

The woman refused to give her name and is identified only as "Jane Doe." KABC says she was taken to a hospital for physical and mental evaluation.

Texas Woman Nearly Kills Two Men With Her Ride!

Surveillance shows a woman running over two men with no care. 

Gas stations have to prepare for the peak summer driving season. Around the months of June towards September, many Americans are on the road quite often. Gas stations most take steps to bring in sales and prevent theft of fuel. Some Americans don't feel like its necessary to pay for fuel. They would preferably drive away without paying for anything.

Summer driving also resorts to road rage incidents. I am guessing this is what happened in Houston.

At a gas station in the Southwestern part of Houston, a road rage incident nearly kills two men.

It was a brutal hit and skip incident that was caught on tape. The Houston Metro police are searching for this individual who could be facing charges for aggravated assault with a vehicle. 

Mediaite reports that KHOU reporters talked to one of the victims of this incident. Marcus Chukwe was with his boss at the local gas station when the woman nearly ran them off at first. Words were exchange, then a few seconds later, the vehicle peels off with two men on the ground.

The woman who hit two men with her car while exiting a gas station, speeding off while they were still lying on the ground. Amazingly, both men were able to walk away with just minor cuts and bruises.

Chukwe was just happy to be alive after the incident occurred. He described how the woman first nearly backed into him and his boss.

When they confronted her about it, she rolled down the window and threatened to shoot them. Seconds later, she pulled around and rammed directly into both men, sending them flying.

“One moment I was standing, one moment I got hit and one moment I was on the ground,” Chukwe said.

Summer Swirl!

Jobs report good but.... The junk food media will find some reason to complain about it.

July brings the best news so far for the embattled president. The jobs report shows that we gained a net job growth. The Department of Labor reports that the net gain was 288,000 jobs for the month of June.

The unemployment rate is now 6.1%. The lowest since September 2008, right before the global collapse of Bear Sterns and Lehman Brothers.

However, there are some still giving up on the workforce.

It was the fifth straight monthly job gain above 200,000 - the best such stretch since the late 1990s tech boom. Over the past 12 months, the economy has added nearly 2.5 million jobs - 208,000 a month, the fastest year-over-year pace since May 2006.

Friday's report from the Labor Department made clear that the U.S. economy is moving steadily closer to full health after having shrunk at the start of the year.

June's job gain followed additions of 217,000 jobs in May and 304,000 in April, figures that were both revised upward. Monthly job gains so far this year have averaged 230,833, up from 194,250 in 2013.

The unemployment rate dipped last month to its lowest level since the financial crisis struck at full force in the fall of 2008 with the bankruptcy of the Wall Street firm Lehman Brothers.

The gains were widespread. Factories added 16,000 workers. Retailers brought on 40,200. Financial and insurance firms increased their employee ranks by 17,000.

Vice President Joe Biden (right) with the members of the inept Congress.

Job growth has averaged 272,000 over the past three months. In May, the economy surpassed its jobs total in December 2007, when the Great Recession officially began.

The number of long-term unemployed has dropped by 1.2 million over the past year to just under 3.1 million. That is half what it was three years ago.

Still, economists at the liberal Economic Policy Institute estimate that 7 million more jobs would have been needed to keep up with population growth.

The challenge is whether the job gains will pull more Americans back into employment and lift wages that have barely budged. Many people who lost jobs during the recession and were never rehired have stopped looking for work. Just 62.8 percent of adult Americans are working or are looking for a job, compared with 66 percent before the recession.

Average wages, meanwhile, have grown just 2 percent a year during the recovery, below the long-run average annual growth of about 3.5 percent.

Many economists predicted late last year that the steady but tepid recovery would accelerate in 2014. The steady gains over the past four years will finally unleash more hiring and higher wages, they said.

But the economy actually shrank in the first three months of this year at an annual rate of 2.9 percent. That's the sharpest quarterly contraction since the recession. Ferocious winter storms and freezing temperatures caused factories to close and prevented consumers from visiting shopping malls and auto dealers.

Still, the winter failed to freeze hiring and job growth has continued with little to no interruption. This should help to speed economic growth because more jobs lead to more paychecks to spend.

Most economists say annualized growth is tracking 3 percent to 3.5 percent in the current second quarter. Growth over the course of the entire year should be closer to 2 percent for the entire year, roughly similar to the 1.9 percent increase in gross domestic product achieved last year.

Other than the weak growth at the start of the year, several other signs point to the improving health of the economy.

Auto sales rose at the fastest pace in eight years in June. Dealers unloaded vehicles at an annual pace of 16.98 million last month. Factory orders picked up last month as well, according to a report this week by the Institute for Supply Management.

Home sales also strengthened in May, after having sputtered in the middle of last year when higher mortgage rates and rising prices hurt affordability.

Does Wendy's Restaurants Support Rush Limbaugh?

Is the fast food giant supporting a controversial agitator who has an ongoing obsession with attacking women.

I often am that guy who listens to conservative talk radio whenever I get bored with hip-hop music stations.

I listen to him and that other guy who appears after him frequently.

Do you remember in 2012, Rush Limbaugh (aka King Hippo) told his audience that "Susan" Fluke was a slut?

That was probably one of the reasons why perennial loser Mitt Romney got his clocked cleaned in the 2012 U.S. Presidential elections. He could control the insurgency. He let them loose and they destroyed the campaign.

The controversial agitator was so pissed off over a Georgetown law graduate's pleas to Congress over contraception. She told a story of a friend who had to suffer a miscarriage after she testified to the Congressional panel being led by "impeach-ready" Darrell Issa, a California Republican congressman.

Obnoxious agitator still has national chains endorsing him.

Sandra Fluke was subjected to verbal assault by the conservative agitator and his allies. That prompt a backlash that caused him to loose hundreds of advertising partners.

He also suffered setbacks on the AM dial. He may still dominate the airwaves but the signal strengths gotten weaker and the public is tuning him out.

Now cause of him, everyone suffers. Not only him but Sean Hannity (That Guy Who Helped Obama Win) and every conservative and liberal agitator took a nosedive.

The sales partners believe that cause of the firestorm, many decided to say goodbye to advertising on political talk radio.

That forced Ed Schultz, Randi Rhodes, Quinn & Rose, Mike Huckabee and numerous others off the airwaves.

The conservative agitator has made it so bad for talk radio, most commercials are AD Council sponsored.

One company that continues to be radio station is the Dublin, Ohio-based restaurant chain Wendy's.

Now I am not sure if the commercials are localized or nationalized, but I can tell you that I am not sure if a fast food chain that caters to families should be associated with a controversial agitator like this.

I mean they've gotten through so much... Such as the woman who hoaxed them with the finger in the Chilli.

I mean seriously, should we endorse an agitator who has no respect for Sandra Fluke, Hillary Clinton, and First Lady Michelle Obama?

You be the judge of this one!

Rape Victim: George Will Is Just As Brainless Besides Being Tasteless!

A victim speaks out against a sexist bigot.

During an interview the woman who became the center of George Will's controversial column about rape victims speaks out against the conservative agitator's piece.

Lisa Sendrow a victim of a sexual assault on her college campus thought that Will's comments were "grotesque" and "downright stupid".

We here at Journal de la Reyna agree with Ms. Sendrow.

As you know, I've said it time after time!

Rape is not funny! It's not a badge of honor. It's not something to be made into a comedy or slut-shaming event. RAPE IS RAPE. IT'S A CRIME AND PEOPLE WHO COMMIT THIS ACT SHOULD BE PUNISHED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW!

People like Loudmouth Bill Cunningham, Rush "KING HIPPO" Limbaugh, and George Will are examples of this culture of men who believe that a rape victim "asked for it".

No matter how a woman acts in public, she shouldn't be subjected to any sexual assault. Many men believe that the woman "had it coming" because she was drunk or she wanted to be a "slut" anyway.

Will thinks that women who get drunk and want to sleep around deserve to be raped. That's what his controversial column talked about. It gin up so much controversy, it cost him a few syndicates who distribute his columns.

Media Matters for America interviews Lisa Sendrow and asked her how this column by Will affected her perspective of the rise in college campus rape.

George Will is a certified idiot. He's too blind or too damn stupid to understand that rape on college campuses is real and the victims are afraid to tell the law about the incident. He believes it's coveted that a woman gets raped. 

Sendrow graduated from Swarthmore in 2013 and now works as a legal assistant. She told Media Matters in an interview over the weekend that she first "tried to avoid the Will piece as much as possible," but after friends pressed her to read it she found the column "infuriating," and felt that his dismissal of her story was dangerous to survivors.

"No one wants to hear that you brought this on yourself," she said, while discussing her reaction to Will's piece. "No one wants to relive the experience or tell that story, when they haven't really had a chance to reflect. You can't really heal if people are telling you that it's your fault. But that's what Will did."

Sendrow explained that she has experienced sexual assault multiple times, but decided to officially report this particular experience and talk to Philadelphia magazine in part because at the time she worked as an advocate for survivors on a campus hotline. "I realized that I could no longer be an advocate and tell survivors to go to the college and report if I wasn't going myself." But the decision wasn't easy, and that contributed to her choosing to wait before initially reporting. "The fact that Will said I waited [to report the assault] -- most women wait awhile. You have to think about what happened, you have to heal."

Research from the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control found that 1 in 5 women had been sexually assaulted while in college, and repeat victimization is common. Reporting rates are particularly low on campuses, and campus assailants tend to be repeat offenders. "This is the only sexual assault I've ever reported," Sendrow noted, "because I felt I was the most safe reporting this one."

She added that she "was also raised to think I put myself in this situation, and it took me a really long time. After hearing others' stories I realized it wasn't my fault -- I was raped. I didn't want to be diminished, I didn't want to be afraid."

While the Philadelphia magazine story clearly documented a serious example of sexual assault (notably, Sendrow specifically stated that she did not consent), Sendrow felt that the magazine took her story and others out of context and omitted key details, "which was exactly what we didn't want to happen." Her assault was "more violent than what [the Philadelphia magazine reporter] wrote. The way he made it seem was very small in comparison." Sendrow added that she received "very threatening" messages from her attacker days after the assault, which the Philadelphia story hadn't included. She had hoped that talking to the media would in part help other survivors by showing they no longer had to be afraid and that their stories couldn't be diminished, and was frustrated when that was "exactly what [Will's column] did."

Sendrow also vehemently rejected Will's claim that survivors might have a coveted status. "I absolutely have not received any privileges from sexual assault. [Will] has clearly never experienced the fear of sexual assault," she said. "He clearly has no idea how hard it is to sleep, to walk around, thinking at any moment this person that you live down the hall from could come out."

Rush Limbaugh and Bill Cunningham are two men who believe that it's the woman's fault for a rape.

She saw a counselor and was diagnosed with PTSD following the assault, she said, which "is pretty common for a lot of survivors I know. It did not help my grades, it did not help my social status. I lost a lot of friends ... No one tells you, 'oh you're a survivor, let me give you a free lunch.' No one gives a shit about you. What benefit could we possibly get? Sometimes I feel like I can't have a real relationship because someone might touch me in the wrong way. How is that okay?"

Sendrow told Media Matters she received violent threats after the Philadelphia article was published. One threat said that she and the other women quoted in the story "deserved to be stoned." Others said "I should be raped again, or 'really' raped, that I was a slut, you know, using my sexual background to say I deserved it."

For Sendrow, most upsetting about Will's column was that "he was politicizing sexual assault, he's a conservative columnist, but why should sexual assault be political?" She criticized him for putting the term sexual assault in quotation marks, implying doubt in survivors' stories, and for using her personal story to "describe the experience of all survivors, and [making] it seem very small." She added, "it was mostly upsetting because I don't feel like survivors' voices were heard."

Will's full column, Sendrow said, made it feel "as if women don't have a voice. Anything bad that happens to a woman, it doesn't matter, because we're the ones who are at fault. And this is already what we're told every single day," she concluded. "We're raised all our lives to think this isn't an issue. But this is an issue. This is why people are triggered, this is why people have PTSD. People will go through their lives thinking rape culture isn't real."

In the end, Sendrow wondered whether Will would have been able to similarly dismiss her story of assault if it came from someone close to him.

"What if [Will's] daughter -- I don't know if he has a daughter -- but would he say to her, that this didn't happen?" she asked. "If she came to him crying, or even not crying, but if she came to him and told him this story, would he just say it wasn't real?"

Insurgency: Thad Cochran Got Blacks Picking Cotton!

Insurgency attacks Republican senator Thad Cochran of Mississippi and the constituents who voted for him. Some claimed that Black voter rather be picking cotton than voting for Republicans.

The insurgency continues to be a force of obstruction and misfortune for many Americans.

It seems like those Cliven Bundy types continue to plague America. It seems like Obama isn't the only thing they hate here in the great ol' U-S of A, but Republicans who aren't conservative enough.

I mean the senators from Mississippi are pretty damn conservative. Just not enough conservative for the insurgency. They believe that the embattled senator might as well let us BLACK FOLKS pick our own cotton.

The conservative insurgency has proven that they're a force to be reckoned with. Hopefully they'll realize that the American people are so tired of them. They have managed to uproot Representative Eric Cantor (R-VA) out of his position as House Majority Leader and lawmaker.

Even though they've claimed victory in one major event, the insurgency could win the seat being held by embattled politico Senator Thad Cochran (R-MS).

Now the insurgency partnered up with the defeated Mississippi state lawmaker Chris McDaniel to attack the winner of the Republican primary runoff and those who voted for him.

Cochran press call has turned into a disaster after guy asks why Cochran is "harvesting black votes like black people harvesting cotton"
— Brett LoGiurato (@BrettLoGiurato) July 2, 2014

Chris McDaniel's campaign is calling foul after Cochran surged to victory on the strength of the Black vote.

The Black vote managed to be very successful for Cochran. He won over a typically Democratic stronghold but lost the respect of his conservative brethren.

The Huffington Post reports that during a press conference call for Sen. Thad Cochran's (R-Miss.) re-election campaign turned into a fiasco on Wednesday when an unidentified caller began asking whether Cochran improperly "harvested" votes from African-Americans like "black people harvesting cotton."

The insurgent Chris McDaniel vows to fight Cochran even if it cost Republicans a seat in the U.S. Senate.

According to several reporters, Austin Barbour, a GOP operative and adviser to Cochran's campaign who was speaking before the interruption, shut down the call after repeated interruptions by the unidentified caller. A shouting match ensued with the remaining callers on the line, and some suggested that either the Cochran campaign had "planted" the question, or perhaps "even Obama" was to blame.

On Tuesday, Cochran's campaign denied allegations that he bought black votes in the Senate GOP primary runoff against state Sen. Chris McDaniel, the insurgent who has yet to concede the race. Charles C. Johnson of GotNews.com posted an interview with the Rev. Stevie Fielder earlier this week in which the reverend claimed he was paid to offer black voters $15 each to vote for Cochran. Fielder was compensated for the interview. A Cochran campaign spokesman called the accusations of illegal vote buying "baseless and false."

Johnson urged his followers to join the call and "crash" it on Wednesday.





Here's That Guy Who Helped Obama Win attacking Cochran in his victory.

You Ain't Getting No Asylum Says American Bigots!

A bunch of White bigots meets a bus full of immigrants in a California city.

The controversy down at the border between the United States and Mexico heats up when a bus full of migrants were stopped on the line by angry White people who have strong ties to the far right militia.

Again, some Americans can't fathom immigrants coming to the country illegally. They believe these people are vermin and they want them to go back to their country.

Instead of having a heart, they have a gun and whole lot of racial slurs. Murrieta, California was the hub of the outrage by residents and those associated with the far right militia.

Republican mayor Alan Long told residents to meet the buses at the suburban Immigration and Customs Exchange facility and block their route.

So a bunch of White bigots come to the area and protest and wave around their Chinese made American flags. They tell the immigrants that they have no place in the United States and they had to go.

The insurgency continues to be a problem in America. They don't understand that this country is based on immigrants and the United States was originally owned by First Nations. The White man stole the land and claimed it for their own. They drew imaginary lines to say what's the United States and what's not.

Sad and pathetic.

Americans are entitled to be hateful bigots. But just think why those overseas hate us so much. It's this nonsense that drives the extremists to attack us. The inhumane actions by those who claim their "patriotic".

A bunch of White bigots is what I think of these people.

The Associated Press reports that Homeland Security buses carrying migrant children and families were rerouted Tuesday to a facility in San Diego after protesters blocked the group from reaching a suburban processing center.

The standoff in Murrieta came after Mayor Alan Long urged residents to complain to elected officials about the plan to transfer the Central American migrants to California to ease overcrowding of facilities along the Texas-Mexico border.

Many protesters held U.S. flags, while others held signs reading "stop illegal immigration," and "illegals out!"

"We can't start taking care of others if we can't take care of our own," protester Nancy Greyson, 60, of Murrieta, told the Desert Sun newspaper.

See the pictures of American hate.

Many of the immigrants were detained while fleeing violence and extortion from gangs in Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras.

After the buses were blocked, federal authorities rerouted the vehicles to a freeway and then to a customs and border facility in San Diego within view of the Mexico border.

The three buses were trailed by a half-dozen news crews during the two-hour trip. People near the San Diego facility were surprised by the caravan.

Juan Silva, 27, a welder in Chula Vista, said he thought officials were transporting drug traffickers. Then he heard the buses were carrying migrant families.

"I don't think people in that town should be against little kids," he said about the protesters in Murrieta. "We're not talking about rapists. We're talking about human beings. How would they feel if it was their kids?"

After the migrants are processed, Immigration and Customs Enforcement will decide who can be released while awaiting deportation proceedings.

Earlier in the day, a chartered plane landed in San Diego with 136 migrants on board, according to a federal Department of Homeland Security official who was not authorized to be named when speaking on the issue.

This is the insurgency of the Republican Party.

It was the first flight planned for California under the federal government's effort to ease the crunch in the Rio Grande Valley and deal with the flood of Central American children and families fleeing to the United States.

The government is also planning to fly migrants to Texas cities and another site in California, and it has already taken some migrants to Arizona.

More than 52,000 unaccompanied children have been detained after crossing the Texas-Mexico border since October in what President Barack Obama has called a humanitarian crisis. Many of the migrants are under the impression that they will receive leniency from U.S. authorities.

Another flight was expected to take 140 migrants to a facility in El Centro, California, on Wednesday, said Lombardo Amaya, president of the El Centro chapter of the Border Patrol union. The Border Patrol would not confirm that arrival date.
