One Good Shove Deserves Another!

Don Lemon and officer Dan Page get into a tussle. Page is under investigation for more than shoving the news agitator.

Don Lemon was doing coverage in Ferguson. An officer got into his face and shoved him. Lemon made a complaint to the St. Louis County prosecutor. The prosecutor was going to investigate this as police brutality. The officer who shoved Lemon decided to take an early out.

St. Louis County officer Dan Page made some inflammatory comments while a member of the Oath Keepers, a far right group that supports law enforcement.

Page made comments that drew some ire. He was talking about President Barack Obama, LGBT, Muslims, the Black community and of course his oath as an officer.

He is a 35-year veteran with the St. Louis County police. The video that got him in more trouble was his agitating speech on America's diversity. And after this revelation, he was suspended indefinitely. This video has been making rounds on YouTube.

This month was really polarizing. From this point on, never look at August as the dull month.

Things happen during the time the president and Congress go on their respective vacations.

The junk food media agitators worked overtime in jumping over the rioting and looting in Ferguson.

Speaking at an Oath Keepers gathering in a school gymnasium, Dan Page recites his vitriol.

They put the cameras in the 3% of the population acting like a bunch of idiots. Sure they're burning their community and throwing rocks at the law. The cops were going all out with military vehicles, shooting them with rubber bullets, tear gas, and of course allowing their K-9 partners urinate on the memorial dedicated to Michael Brown.

Loserville is all in defense of the reclusive Darren Wilson, the officer who put six in the body of Brown. Wilson is getting major donations from the racist right. The insurgency has always maintained that "we don't rush conclusions". Oh by the way, Brown strong armed robbed a man of a few smokes.

In their case, they're trying to say that Brown deserved his own death. They even goes as far to label him a thug and potential murderer. There are some on the racist right demanding to look into any history as a minor in the court system. They couldn't find nothing on Brown other than him giving the finger and rapping on a microphone. Nothing incriminating.

The officer's comments has gone viral. This may spark more protest in Ferguson.

The St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar saying that the comments Page made in the surfaced video, "deeply disturbed me immediately."

Will Loserville defend an officer who said some nasty things about those he swore to protect?

Was Darren Wilson in attendance of this?

Take discretion in viewing these videos.

Sam I'm Not!

Michael Sam got cut from history.

This was one of the most controversial moves by the NFC team. The St. Louis Rams decided that history will have to wait.

They decided to cut Michael Sam from the team. Despite praise for picking the first openly gay football player to the NFL, the Rams didn't think Sam had the potential.

That means that Sam (if still interested) will be a free agent and hopefully he'll get on a major team,

I am guessing today the LGBT community will probably pissed over this.

Sam took the official social networking website to post his thanks to the Rams for at least going one step forward.

I want to thank the entire Rams organization and the city of St. Louis for giving me this tremendous opportunity and allowing me to (1/2)

show I can play at this level. I look forward to continuing to build on the progress I made here toward a long and successful career (2/2)
— Michael Sam (@MichaelSamNFL) August 30, 2014

The first openly gay NFL player was a great thought on television and in the papers. But the NFL still has the mentality that you have to be either a wife beater. You got to be speeding in your ride. You have to have an obsession with firearms and be a known a gun enthusiast. You could be a potential murderer.

Hell, you can have marijuana in your system or steroids and still have at least three games on suspension.

But if you're a gay player, you can't get much other than the bench.

I don't care if the guy is gay. If the dude can throw a ball and take a sack, then give the guy a chance to show it on the field.

Big Snoop Does Whiteface!

Snoop Dogg picks up a new trick. Conservative uproar.

Will the conservative agitators get mad that veteran rapper and entertainer Big Snoop dons their looks?

Yup, they would. The former editor of Breitfart News decided to find some reason to attack it.

Ben Shapiro's Truth Revolt already making noise about the entertainer's new look.

Snoop Dogg's White Face Gimmick - Media Is Silent

All in big caption the conservative agitator is worried that the "liberal" media isn't looking at the attempt by a BLACK THUG donning a White look. 

Look at the image of the entertainer as a White man.

Shapiro who is most famously known for carrying the water for the late Andrew Breitbart before striking out on his own. He and Joel Pollack were trying to tie the president to a Harvard professor Derrick Bell. Bell was a "controversial" professor who studied in Black American studies. According to the agitators, Bell's teachings to a Harvard Law Review graduate like Obama sparked his "radical" leanings.

Big Snoop endorsed the legalization of marijuana in 2012. He also thrown his support to President Barack Obama and pissed off the conservative agitators. 

This whiteface issue was started by the Wayans Brothers and then the hapless Nick Cannon. Now Snoop Dogg and of course, conservatives are pissed about the media not getting pissed at it.

Unfortunately the media isn't silent about it, Shapiro. You're covering it. We're covering it. The media is covering it. To be honest, it's not blackface. It's not like Snoop Dogg devoted his whole life to trashing White folks. Unfortunately, you and O'Loofus have devoted time to trashing him and the Black community.

You just don't like Snoop Dogg and those who associated with the entertainer.

Below there's another picture of the entertainer in his new face.



What's your thoughts on Big Snoop's "Todd" impression?

Was it funny or offensive?

Minnesota Dad Tased In Front Of His Children!

Chris Lollie with his two children. Father was busted in a St. Paul plaza after police claimed he was disturbing the peace. Father did nothing wrong at the time of confrontation.

St. Paul Police are doing some damage control after a father filmed his confrontation with two of their officers. The officers confronted the father after he was sitting near a bank waiting on his children.

The police claimed that the father was disturbing the peace and was disorderly. For him to sit in a public plaza waiting on his children and the law bothering him for doing so warrants an investigation into the officer's handling of the situation.

Again "WE BLACK FOLK" and the law are like distant cousins. Blacks have the phobia that the law will shoot first and question last. The law often have problems with the residents of a majority Black community (or neighborhood). The law often try but fail at getting information

Say if there was a shooting. The law needs to know what happen. They want to prevent a potential criminal from committing a domestic attack. But with the Black community, they believe if you tell the law, you could end up dead or arrested yourself.

The Huffington Post and Addicting Info got the goods on Lollie's confrontation. The video is making rounds around the social networks. It's driven the narrative that police are trigger happy when confronting Black people.

Chris Lollie is a father of two. Earlier this year, Lollie recorded an altercation with the police. Police were called to the scene, and the 27-year-old began filming the interaction on his cell phone. The situation escalated, and police allegedly used a stun gun on Lollie before arresting him. As his footage began making the rounds online this week, the police defended the arrest, but Lollie says the incident was racially motivated.



Lollie's disturbing cell phone video is making headlines as a national debate swells around racial profiling and excess use of force by police departments across the country.

The footage begins as he walks with a female officer, explaining to her that he had been sitting outside the bank for 10 minutes before he was asked to leave. He tells the officer he didn't see signs saying he was on private property and didn't think it was fair that he was being asked to move.

"The problem is I'm black," he can be heard telling the officer. "That's the problem. ... I’m not sitting there with a group of people. I’m sitting there by myself. By myself, not causing a problem.”

Shortly after, a male officer walks up to them, and the exchange becomes heated. Lollie appears to drops his cell phone as he is presumably restrained by officers.

The law before they were to bust Chris Lollie.

"Put your hands behind your back or you're going to get tased," a voice can be heard saying as Lollie frantically repeats that he hasn't done anything wrong.

“I'm not doing anything! Stop, please,” Lollie yells as a clicking noise, possibly from a stun gun, can be heard in the background. “Can somebody help me? That’s my kids, right there! My kids are right there!”

"I don't have any weapons or anything, and then you tase me? For what?" he is heard saying shortly after.

The charges were dropped. Chris has brought his encounter to the social networks. What do you think of the incident?

Was it right for him to be arrested for doing nothing wrong?

Joan Rivers Fighting For Her Life!

Celebrity agitator is fighting for her life.

Could I be hateful to a hateful comedian?

Well...........maybe!

Love her or hate her, the celebrity agitator is iconic.

Joan Rivers was rushed to the hospital this week after having cardiac arrest. According to her daughter Melissa and her publicist, Rivers is "resting comfortably" in a hospital.

Rivers experienced serious complications—including stopping breathing—during throat surgery at a clinic in Yorkville on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. She was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital and was put into a medically induced coma after reportedly entering cardiac arrest.

Rivers who gained notoriety for being "critically honest" about issues never shied away from putting her two cents into a situation.

Last month, I posted that obnoxious woman calling President Barack Obama "gay" and First Lady Michelle Obama a "tranny".

And on the Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip, she advocated for more strikes to kill the Palestinian people.

Any thoughts on Joan Rivers?

All That Hard Work Kills!

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Maria Fernandes.

There are so many Americans between the age of 18 - 34 who have one or more jobs and still can't managed the rent, the luxuries of success. This woman worked over four jobs and slept between each shift. This one time she decided to take a nap, she wouldn't wake up.

The New Jersey woman worked hard and never missed a day of work. Until that day where her quick nap became her death sentence. The woman was in the car and left the engine running. She was unaware of the tipped over gas can and the carbon monoxide looming in the car.

The Associated Press reports that Maria Fernandes worked four jobs, including shifts at two different Dunkin Donuts.

Often she drove from job to job, stopping along the road to catch a couple hours sleep, police said. She kept a container of gasoline in her 2001 Kia Sportage because occasionally she ran out of gas, authorities said.

The type of sport utility vehicle Maria Fernandes drove.

Early Monday, the 32-year-old Newark woman pulled into a lot off Route 1 & 9 in Elizabeth for a nap. She apparently left the car running and was overcome by carbon monoxide mixed with fumes from the gas can that had overturned, police said. Fernandes was found dead in the car about eight hours later.

"This sounds like someone who tried desperately to work and make ends meet, and met with a tragic accident," Elizabeth police Lt. Daniel Saulnier said.

An autopsy today failed to determine the cause of death, and police are awaiting results of toxicology tests, Saulnier said. He said no foul play is suspected.

At 3:51 p.m., city EMTs responded a 911 call of a woman found in a vehicle in a corner of the WAWA convenience store on the northbound side of Routes 1 & 9. Emergency workers found all the windows and doors on the vehicle closed and when they got inside, they were hit with a chemical odor, authorities said.

After determining the woman in the vehicle, later identified as Fernandes, was dead, the emergency responders called in Union County's Hazmat workers.

Dunkin Donuts in Dayton, Ohio.

City police and firefighters, and staff from the county medical examiner's office, waited four hours while Hazmat members monitored the levels of the odors until they determined it was safe for others to enter the Kia, authorities said.

New Jersey has tens of thousands of people working multiple jobs, said Carl Van Horn, director of the John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University in New Brunswick.

"These are are folks who would like to work full-time but they can't find the jobs," Van Horn said. "They wind up in these circumstances in which they are exhausted. More commonly it creates just an enormous amount of stress," he said.

Many people have been forced to work two or three part time jobs after losing a full-time position in the recession of 2008.

The federal Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that 7.5 million people nationwide are working more than one job, Van Horn said, and those jobs still leave people with less income than their full-time work.

"The average person who lost their job took a 10 percent pay cut (after returning to the workforce)," Van Horn said.

Elizabeth police reached Fernandes's sister in Portugal this afternoon, Saulnier. They were still seeking a brother, who is an over-the-road trucker and out-of-state, the lieutenant said.

Tom Haydon the contributor of this article wrote that Maria was the "true face of the recession".

She and millions of others including myself work two or more jobs. It's a shame that even in America, some have to work more than two jobs to have a decent life.

Cop Lets His Dog Deface The Michael Brown Mural!

Ferguson cop allows his dog urinate on a memorial of Michael Brown.

The law has strong resentment to the negativity its getting. According to witness, the Ferguson police allowed Michael Brown's lifeless body stay fresh in the open for four hours.

Others said that an officer along with his K-9 partner were near a memorial of the slain teen. The officer allowed his dog to urinate on the memorial. We don't know if that's confirmed or not, but I can tell you that three things gave me pause.

A St. Louis County officer said that the protesters were a bunch of animals. That drove the racist right into a frenzy. They were in agreement of what that disgusting lack of professionalism.

St. Louis Police shot and killed a man who they believed had a knife. According to witnesses, the man who had mental issues was accused of stealing products from a convenience store. He was being recorded by one witness. The St. Louis Police arrive and saw the man. They gave him two warnings and soon a few shots and he was killed.

A Ferguson officer had shoved CNN's Don Lemon and threatened to arrest him. The officer was placed on leave after the agitator reported the actions.

Mother Jones reporter Mark Follman said that in his piece, he recounts the tension growing in Ferguson. An officer on the street let the dog he was controlling urinate on the memorial site.

The incident was related to me separately by three state and local officials who worked with the community in the immediate aftermath of the shooting. One confirmed that he interviewed an eyewitness, a young woman, and pressed her on what exactly she saw. “She said that the officer just let the dog pee on it,” that official told me. “She was very distraught about it.” The identity of the officer who handled the dog and the agency he was with remain unclear.

Jon Stewart Slams Loserville Over Its Ferguson Coverage!

Stewart goes hard on the junk food media and their coverage of Ferguson. One network in particular got his attention.

The Daily Show goes on vacation in August. Usually, Jon Stewart still has his crew keeps him updated on the latest events for the month.

What happened?

Ebola. Two humanitarian doctors were cured after being exposed to the deadly virus. That sparked weeks of talk about the situation.

Immigration reform. The lawmakers are on vacation and they still haven't pass immigration reform. President Barack Obama will issue an executive order giving him some power to handle the crisis. Immigrant children are coming the United States to flee civil war.

The president's golf outing during the beheading of James Foley. An American journalist was beheaded by ISIS terrorists. The terrorist in the video beheads Foley and sparked outcry from the world. The president spoke somber statements of Foley and wanted those responsible to be brought to justice. After a few hours, he was back on Martha's Vineyard playing golf. That sparked controversy.

John Crawford III. The young man was killed by two Beavercreek, Ohio police. He was playing with an air rifle and the police shot him without giving proper commands. That triggered controversy.

Stewart is getting really annoyed with this guy. He believes that annoying conservative agitator ruins traditional news.

Eric Garner. The man who was accused by the New York Police Department of selling loose cigarettes. As they tried to arrest Garner, they put him in a chokehold. He would suffer cardiac arrest.

Burger King and Tim Horton's are combining themselves into one company. Burger King is temped to move to Tim Horton's corporate headquarters in Canada and it sparked outcry from lawmakers and fans of the fast food chains.

These are issues that Jon Stewart covered since his return.

All of these issues were mentioned by that annoying conservative agitator and his network Loserville.

Guess where Jon Stewart went after?

The Sean Hannity Word Vomit!

The most annoying conservative agitator has a tendency to repeat himself on statements. You can actually play a drinking game based off his rants!

The third most watched and second most listened agitator is a prize experiment for liberals and conservatives.

They all agree that he's a well paid agitator. I agree with them as well. But in fact, he's by far the most annoying media personality to ever exist. His right wing carnival is nothing but a screamfest. He is a serial name dropper and within a two minute rant, you'll hear Obama come out of it.

The man has a crazy obsession with dropping the president's name more than he can drop an actual sentence.

This annoying agitator has tendency to repeat himself over and over again. It's probably because he's either ADHD or bipolar disorder. I am not a medical doctor, but its pretty clear that this annoying agitator has some form of disorder.

Okay, here's your challenge. If you listen to three hours of his radio program or one hour of his television program, you listen carefully. I can tell you in the first few seconds of his monologue, I will bet you, he'll slip Obama in a sentence.

I can bet you that he will say Obama's name over 100 times in his radio program.

Get a few cups of your favorite beverage or alcohol and start listening. Have fun.

Also be careful if you are to drink alcoholic beverages. DO NOT DRIVE WHILE IMPAIRED.

McConnell: Give Us The Keys And We'll Drive It Over The Cliff!

The Kentucky Turtle speaks to a crowd about more gridlock if he become the head of the terrarium. 

Embattled Republican leader opens his mouth again giving his challenger ammunition.

The pork and barrel continues to spill into the state of Kentucky. The turtle and Rand Paul, the two Republican Stallmigos have relatively done nothing other than become a huge headache to President Barack Obama.

He was sucking on the toes of David and Charles Koch. The embattled politico was telling a dinner audience that he's willing to do anything to get that sugar from those billionaire libertarian activists.

David and Charles Koch are billionaire philanthropists who donate to the Republican Party and sometimes the Democratic Party. The liberals view them as vile and evil billionaires.

The New York Times report that a liberal blog got wind of the conversation. McConnell told the mid-June gathering in Dana Point, Calif., that if the Republicans gained control of the Senate and retained control of the House in November, Congress could use the budget process to force the president to roll back his priorities.

“In the House and Senate, we own the budget,” he said, explaining that the initial blueprint on taxes and spending does not require the president’s signature. “So what does that mean? That means that we can pass the spending bill. And I assure you that in the spending bill, we will be pushing back against this bureaucracy by doing what’s called placing riders in the bill. No money can be spent to do this or to do that. We’re going to go after them on health care, on financial services, on the Environmental Protection Agency, across the board. All across the federal government, we’re going to go after it.”

The channel released audio of three other Republicans in tough Senate races — Representative Tom Cotton of Arkansas, Representative Cory Gardner of Colorado and Joni Ernst, a state senator in Iowa — all of whom praised Charles G. and David H. Koch and the millions of dollars they have provided to help Republican candidates.

To a large extent, Mr. McConnell’s promises are more bluster for the Republican donor base than a foolproof plan. Through a budget procedure called reconciliation, Republicans could clear a path to tax legislation or changes to entitlement programs that could pass later in the year with simple majorities in the House and the Senate.

But unless a Republican majority plans to end the filibuster on legislation as Democrats ended it on some presidential nominees, spending bills with “riders” would need 60 votes in the Senate. If the Republicans win control of the Senate, their majority is almost certain to be short of 60.

Republicans said the recordings were insignificant. Josh Holmes, a senior McConnell campaign aide, said the senator was in no way suggesting a strategy to shut down the government unless Mr. Obama capitulates.

Nonetheless, the audio recordings are likely to become fodder for the campaigns in Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa and Kentucky. Democrats, most notably Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority leader, have tried to demonize contributions by the Koch brothers as corruptive to the political system.

The Grimes campaign responded quickly, saying, “Shockingly, Mitch McConnell will do and say anything it takes to secure his grip on personal power, including promising to hurt Kentuckians to benefit billionaires.”

Allison Lunsford Grimes is a formidable challenger in the closely watched U.S. Senate race in Kentucky.

Ms. Ernst and Mr. Gardner made a pitch to donors that their support was about more than the Senate races. If they win in November, it would lay the groundwork for turning Iowa and Colorado Republican in the 2016 presidential race, they said. Mr. Obama won both states twice.

“If we win Colorado, we overturn the narrative the Democrats are trying to build about the interior Rocky Mountain states, that you can’t win statewide in the Rocky Mountain West anymore,” Mr. Gardner said. “We can defeat that notion. We can flip it upside down in Colorado by winning in 2014, making the pathway for whoever our nominee is in 2016.”

Ms. Ernst said: “We are setting the stage for Iowa as the first-in-the-nation’s caucus that all of our presidential hopefuls come, come to. We’re setting the stage in 2014 with a Republican victory, so that likelihood is in 2016 we can go red as a state and assist any Republican nominee from Iowa. So we’re setting the stage for the presidency.”

Burger King And Tim Horton's Merge!

You're right next door.

The Canadian doughnut and coffee chain is being bought by the fast food giant in a bid to climb back from slumping sells. The slumping sells and the potential to move to Canada has the American junk food media wondering why would the company do such a thing!

Burger King dropped to the third most popular chain. McDonald's and Wendy's happen to continue to build their stock without having another anchor on their sacks.

I've always thought that Tim Horton's was a subsidiary of Wendy's. I guess I was wrong.

Okay, BK decided to shelve out $11.3 billion to buy the doughnut chain and may relocate to Canada.

The Washington Post reports that the newly merged company would become the world's third-biggest "quick service restaurant company," with more than 18,000 restaurants in 100 countries, said Burger King and Hortons in a statement Monday. The deal would create a business capable of rivaling Yum Brands, which owns Taco Bell and Pizza Hut, and is valued at more than $30 billion. But while Yum Brands operates from Louisville, KY, the new Burger King and Tim Hortons parent company would likely station itself in the Ontario province of Canada.

Bow to the King!

On the surface, the reason for a headquarter shift across the country's northern border is simple: lower corporate taxes.

As we have have noted before, when a company reincorporates abroad, as the practice is known, what it's really doing is shifting its corporate citizenship; and when a company shifts its corporate citizenship, what it's really doing is trying to pay less in taxes. The nominal corporate tax rate in the U.S., which combines national, state, and city-level tax rates, is nearly 40 percent—the highest across all 34 Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) member countries. Canada's, by comparison, is just over 26 percent.

Burger King would hardly be the first large American corporation to move its headquarters—more than 70 U.S. companies have reincorporated overseas since the early 1980s. The practice has been especially popular lately—more than half of those inversions have come since 2003, or almost double the amount that did in the twenty years prior, according to data from Congressional Research Service (CRS).

The Post added Burger King has been itching to gain a greater share of the coveted American breakfast market. Breakfast sales at fast food chains have swelled to more than $50 billion. They're also the industry's fastest growing segment—breakfast was responsible for 90 percent of the industry's growth between 2007 and 2012. Tim Hortons offers a particularly strong entry into both the U.S. and Canadian breakfast markets—the coffee chain has more than twice as many stores per capita in Canada than McDonald's has in the U.S..

Tim Hortons has also been been looking to grow internationally, a process which Burger King's global footprint might be able to help expedite. "A key driver of these discussions is the potential to leverage Burger King's worldwide footprint and experience in global development to accelerate Tim Hortons growth in international markets," the companies said in their statement.

Still, the reality that one of America's largest food companies is mulling a move to Canada--and in doing so, a move away from U.S. corporate tax rates--might not sit so well with some consumers. Shifty but legal tax maneuvers have proven unkind to food companies in the past. Starbucks saw its sales fall in the United Kingdom for the first time after it became clear the company was using complex accounting methods to lower its local tax payments.

Have it your way, eh!

What's your thoughts on Burger King merging with Tim Horton's?

Do you believe Burger King is right in its possible move to Canada?

Jackie Robinson West All-Stars Debunks Racist Right's Hating On Chicago!

The best does come from Chicago.

The Chicago area is proud to have the Jackie Robinson West as their Little League team. The team managed to take home the U.S. World Series Championship. But unfortunately, the team lost in the World Series of Little League against perennial winners South Korea.

The miracle team has motivated Chicago despite the constant violence plaguing its urban areas.

The racist right isn't talking about Chicago's miracle. They're obsessed with the negativity of Black on Black violence. They only care about trying to make the narrative that BLACKS are natural born criminals and OBAMA supports his own race over everyone else.

This is a frequent theme among the racist right. The team is getting major star power. Like a Hollywood movie, their image and namesake are flying off the shelves.

According to the Chicago Business Journal, The Jackie Robinson West All Stars over the past two weeks have treated Chicagoans to a storyline worthy of a Hollywood script.

In the midst of another summer filled with daily headlines of violence, the nation's newly crowned top Little League Baseball team puts Chicago in the best light it's seen in a long time.

And among other benefits, including a call from President Barack Obama and a parade in their honor, the deserving team of 11- and 12-year-olds is in line for a nice check for their program, thanks to sales of celebratory T-shirts.

More than 4,500 yellow Jackie Robinson West "Great Lakes Champions" T-shirts have been sold since Aug. 10 out of the Dick's Sporting Goods location in the South Loop, the only place they've been available for purchase.

All of the proceeds from those sales, after covering production costs, will go directly to the JRW program. At $20 a shirt, that likely will total tens of thousands of dollars.

"It's been a great story," said Brian Dibbert, community marketing manager for about half of the 20 Dick's locations in the Chicago area.

Mr. Dibbert would not estimate the amount that the baseball program will receive but said the sales forged new territory for Little League T-shirt sales, an effort the company started last year.

Dick's expanded from selling similar shirts in two markets that qualified for the Little League World Series to four markets this year, but Mr. Dibbert said momentum of the Chicago sales was unprecedented.

The South Loop store started with 300 shirts after the team qualified for the World Series tournament. Those sold out in a matter of days.

The next shipment — 500 shirts — were gone in a couple of hours, followed by another order of 250 shirts that flew off the shelves.

"It was just the perfect storm," Mr. Dibbert said of the timing of the team's run. "Chicago likes to rally around a winner."

And there's more to come. Dick's has a shipment of of 7,000 Jackie Robinson West All Stars "National Champions" shirts on its way, which will be available tomorrow at the same location and offer the same proceeds to the team.

Those sales will provide a nice send-off as the nation's eyes start to turn away from Jackie Robinson West and the pinnacle of Little League Baseball.

But the story — and the shirts — should live on as a symbol of pride and a reminder of a brief moment in time when a group of the South Side's best young baseball players gave their entire city a reason to cheer.

Well wishes to The Jackie Robinson West team on their future successes. Hope the best for them.
