More Bad News For George Zimmerman!

According to Black Voices/Huffington Post, the wife of George Zimmerman was arrested.

Shellie Zimmerman was arrested on perjury charges. After a few months of hiding, the Seminole County Sheriff has arrested her after she told the judge preceding over the bond hearing that she and her husband couldn't afford a high bond. The judge granted George Zimmerman a $150,000 bond on a 10% insurance.

Her mugshot is now public.
George Zimmerman and his wife pictured here were arrested this week after they've lied to the judge over how much earnings they've obtained during the bond hearing! Shellie Zimmerman was arrested on perjury.
This case is going to be more controversial now that Zimmerman and his wife have both lied to the judge. It is likely George Zimmerman's going to have an unfair trial against him.

In February 2012, George Zimmerman, a volunteer neighborhood watch member shot and killed Trayvon Martin. The unarmed teenager was staying in his father's apartment in a gated community near the city of Sanford, Florida. The two got into a physical altercation, and Zimmerman fired his gun at Martin killing him. Zimmerman claimed it was self-defense, and the Sanford Police allowed him to walk. This set off a firestorm of protest and led the state governor Rick Scott to have an independent prosecutor investigated the case.

The prosecutor has found that Zimmerman should be charged with second-degree murder. The charge carries a mandatory life sentence. The federal law enforcement is also investigating if there could be a hate crime involvement. The Sanford Police is also under federal investigation for negligence in many cases.

This controversy touched off a national discussion about racial profiling and promoting vigilante justice with firearms. President Barack Obama spoke on the tragedy noting that he grieves with the family of Martin and wants the U.S. Justice Department and local law enforcement to handle the matter.

The charges stem from what prosecutors have described as a series of lies and distortions made by the couple during an earlier bond hearing in April, when George Zimmerman and his family claimed they were broke. By late Tuesday afternoon, Shellie Zimmerman posted bond, set at $1,000.

The donations obtained by George Zimmerman are over $200,000.

We here at Journal De La Reyna believe in justice and a fair trial. George Zimmerman deserves a fair trial.  George Zimmerman should be detained until his court hearing. We want to see this young man tried and convicted in the murder of Trayvon Martin.

Does The Ku Klux Klan Wants To Adopt A Piece Of Blacktop?

If these people want to pick up the trash, I say let 'em! They only looking out for the road! Far right groups once again thrive in divisiveness and division. The oldest far right hate group, the Ku Klux Klan has been agitating the public by pulling off publicity stunts in order to recruit members. This Adopt-A-Highway controversy is a tool for members to claim that their organization is willing to help the community! They referring to the White community, of course!

                       

In the south, the far right groups thrive under the sun drinking lemonade, eating some fried chicken and a bit of good old fashion grits. The perfect summer. But deep down in Georgia, the Ku Klux Klan, the longest known and most notorious anti-Black group is once again trying to agitate the public. They want to get involved in helping out the community!

We mean the "WHITE" community!

In Georgia, the International Keystone Knights of the KKK applied for a portion of Union County's State Highway 515 and it was denied by the Georgia Department of Transportation.


According to ABC News, the GDOT also said that the section of roadway requested is ineligible for adoption because its posted speed limit of 65 mph exceeds the program's maximum of 55 mph. A letter of denial is being sent to the group.

The KKK group member who submitted the application did not respond to request for comment.

The application set off a battle between a state representative condemning the application and the group's ardent but anonymous leaders.

"The state of Georgia is absolutely shameful in even considering an application from the KKK," Democratic State Rep. Tyrone Brooks told ABCNews.com. "If the state will accept an application from the KKK, we may as well get ready to accept applications from the Nazi party, Taliban, al Qaeda and Aryan Nation."

The group dismissed Brooks' comments.

"What we're trying to do is something positive and this Tyrone Brooks is trying to raise a stink about it. We just want to do something good for the community," a representative of the KKK group, who would only agree to be identified as the "Imperial Wizard," told ABCNews.com.

The man was adamant that his real name not be used, in order to protect his job and family, he said.

"[Brooks is] coming out and calling the Klan a terrorist organization. Prove it in black and white that the U.S. government has labeled us a terrorist organization," the Imperial Wizard said. "Prove it. He needs to prove it. I challenge him."

The Imperial Wizard insisted that the Klan does not commit criminal acts and that "everybody has a past they want to forget about."

When asked if he maintained the beliefs of the KKK, notorious for violently condemning minorities and religious beliefs that conflict with their own, the Imperial Wizard said, "I'm a separatist. I'm not a racist. I believe in the separation of the races. It was originally printed in the Bible."

The Georgia Department of Transportation says on its website, "Any civic-minded organization, business, individual, family, city, county, state, or federal agency is welcome to volunteer in the Georgia Adopt-A-Highway program."

The case is similar to one in Missouri that turned into a lengthy legal battle. When a KKK group tried to adopt a Missouri road, the state tried to prevent it. The state eventually lost when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2005 that membership in the "Adopt-a-Highway" program cannot be denied because of a group's political beliefs.

Brooks said he wants Georgia's story to end differently.

"I think the state of Georgia should send a loud, clear message that we are not going to allow the KKK to adopt our highways and byways," he said. "Say that firmly and then let the chips fall where they fall."

Mixed People Ain't Black!

Google: Nigger Or Obama!

The Republican Party is becoming a majority White political party. And yet these notions that spread through the online community from Republicans and their allies in the conservative movement is the tired excuse! What they're saying is basically Blacks voting for Barack Obama regardless of his policies. And yet, these are the ones who insert race into every argument especially since the president is a Black man. The Republicans dog whistle issues to rile up White voters. And White voters are sponging it up! They're riled up by conservative talk radio, Fox News, The Drudge Report, World Net Daily, word of mouth, and political views that aren't similar to the president. White voters who are conservative harbor bigoted views towards race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, political and economic standings. They use this as a factor to why they hate the president and the Black community.
Google Nigger or Obama! 

You'll find a ton of things in relations to the 2012 U.S. Presidential Race. 

The Republicans are going to play the deck from the bottom up! They know that Whites are more pessimistic of President Barack Obama. 

Race is a major factor to White voters. The president's most harshest critics are White voters. They are influenced by the angry rhetoric of conservative talk radio, people in the news, word of mouth and simple political views that aren't similar to the president. 

White conservative males are likely to agitate the Black community with rhetoric that paints this group as an enemy and the agitator as a patriot. White conservative males are likely to have a bigoted view of a person based on race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, political or economic standings. White conservative males flock to conservative forums and online hate websites to vent off frustration. These forums could inspire a disturbed individual to kill in the name of conservatism.

You will notice that some of the most harshest critics refuse to acknowledge him as by his proper title, President Barack Obama. Many white voters are injected by the divisiveness and division that drives them to opposing the president. No matter what people tell them, they'll find some reason to fault the president regardless.

And don't act like I didn't tell you! You got conservatives believing that Blacks vote solely on race. They are fixated on trying to deny their arrogance and pure bigotry.

Guess why it's more difficult for Whites to vote for the president!

It isn't because of big government, socialism!

It's not because he's too liberal or too conservative!

It isn't because he supports traditionally red meat issues like raising taxes on millionaires and billionaires.

It isn't because he endorsed gay marriage.

It isn't because he compromised to get health care reformed passed or regulations to prevent Wall Street from collapsing.

It isn't because he takes vacations.

It isn't because he's capable to taking on issue like the war on terrorism or taking responsibility for issues that affect his administration.
Former Republican presidential candidates Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, and Rick Santorum have riled up White voters with dog whistle politics. The Republicans and conservatives have played the deck from the bottom up! They're actively riling White voters to oppose the president.
It's because he Black and the Republicans and its allies in the conservative movement would rather rile up White voters with dog whistle politics. In states that vote traditionally Republican, some of the most conservative Democrats would rather vote for perennial candidate serving time in a federal prison than support President Barack Obama.

Again, this is a reason why conservatism is rooting in the bigotry of race, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, language, political and economic standings.

Conservatives rather cheer for failure! Then get all upset and scream at the fact, things are succeeding!

The New York Times written an interesting article that will have the Right upset yet again. But the point of the article is to finally acknowledge that race is a factor in why White voters oppose the president.

New York Times reporter Seth Stephens-Davidowitz wrote that Barack Obama won 52.9 percent of the popular vote in 2008 and 365 electoral votes, 95 more than he needed. Many naturally concluded that prejudice was not a major factor against a black presidential candidate in modern America. He researched a comparison of Americans’ Google searches and their voting patterns, found otherwise. Proven that if results are correct, racial animus cost Obama many more votes than we may have realized.

The conditions under which people use Google online, most likely alone, not participating in an official survey are ideal for capturing what they are really thinking and feeling. You may have typed things into Google that you would hesitate to admit in polite company. Stephens-Davidowitz have concluded that its certainly have.

The majority of Americans have as well: we Google the word “porn” more often than the word “weather.”

From 2008 onward, “Obama” is a prevalent term in racially charged searches.

The state with the highest racially charged search rate in the country was West Virginia. Other areas with high percentages included western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, upstate New York and southern Mississippi.

Republicans are driven to extremism over the president's race!
Seth Stephens-Davidowitz acknowledge that if his findings are correct, race could very well prove decisive against Obama in 2012. Most modern presidential elections are close. Losing even two percentage points lowers the probability of a candidate’s winning the popular vote by a third. And prejudice could cost Obama crucial states like Ohio, Florida and even Pennsylvania.

There is the possibility, of course, that racial prejudice will play a smaller role in 2012 than it did in 2008, now that the country is familiar with a black president. Some recent events, though, suggest otherwise. He mentioned earlier that the rate of racially charged searches in West Virginia was No. 1 in the country and that the state showed a strong aversion to Obama in 2008. It recently held its Democratic presidential primary, in which Obama was challenged by a convicted felon. The felon, who is white, won 41 percent of the vote.

In 2008, Barack Obama rode an unusually strong tail wind. The economy was collapsing. The Iraq war was unpopular. Republicans took most of the blame. He was able to overcome the major obstacle of continuing racial prejudice in the United States. In 2012, the tail wind is gone; the obstacle likely remains.

This Is What Your Congress Is Doing! More GOP Witch Hunts To Damage Obama!

Congressman Darrell Issa (R-California) and Attorney General Eric Holder. The Republicans witch hunt against President Barack Obama. The Republicans are trying to rile up white voters with these ridiculous issues such as the Operation Fast & Furious issue in which a U.S. border agent was killed after drug lords used firearms they've purchased at gun shows and the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agency failed at monitoring their movements.
 
The Republican Party has made it clear that they want to make Barack Obama serve one term.

They're so fixated on trying to ruin the economy, they don't care who they hurt. Their allies in the conservative movement rather attack and defame the allies that support the president.  The Republicans and its allies in the conservative movement rather waste their time on culture wars instead of solving problems. They are rooting for a civil war within our borders. And yes, they're some members who are willing to shoot and kill for conservative causes.

The Republicans have riled up white voters to oppose President Barack Obama. They try to make groups turn against one another.

In the latest distraction with the war against President Barack Obama, here comes a rehash of an old controversy that should have been put to rest the first time. This is like the umpteenth time.

This ridiculous Operation Fast & Furious controversy is another waste of time distraction created by the Republican Party. The Republicans have collective memory loss.

Attorney General Eric Holder, the first Black appointed federal law enforcement chief is under fire by these idiots in Congress over a tragedy that involved the death of a border agent.

Republican Congressman Darrell Issa (R-California) has made it clear that he's invested in this Operation Fast & Furious. The congressman has subpenaed Holder over five times to testify.

Congessman Issa thinks that the U.S. Justice Department has held back documents that could indict members of Holder's inner circle.

According to CBS, the conservative reporter Sheryl Attkisson stated that the House Oversight Committee will vote next week on whether to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress. It's the fourth time in 30 years that Congress has launched a contempt action against an executive branch member.

The Justice Department has maintained it has cooperated fully with the congressional investigation, turning over tens of thousands of documents and having Holder testify to Congress on the topic at least eight times.

Issa says the Justice Department can still put a stop to the contempt process at any time by turning over the subpoenaed documents.


If the House Oversight Committee approves the contempt citation, the matter would likely be scheduled for a full House vote.


For several weeks, there has been closed-door discussions and debate among House Republicans as to whether to move forward with contempt. Some have expressed concern that it could distract from the Republican's focus on the economy in this election year.

Just like this ridiculous controversy over the allegedly leaks of information in the killing of al-Qaeda members.

Republicans are upset that leaks about the president's steadfast strategy to take on the conservative Sunni militant group. They want to know who leaked out the information and they're pointed fingers at the president.

The Republicans are weak on terrorism. They've been highly upset that members of al-Qaeda are being picked off quickly by the leaked documents of  "target kills". The president approved of CIA drone strikes in Pakistan and Yemen.

Republicans are not concern with success, they'll try to find failure.

The president has worked to fix these problems and yet the Republicans are trying to distract by saying none of his policies are working. As Europe is working on their solutions to fix the economy, they wait on the leading nations like the United States and China to come up with solutions. The Republicans aren't going to support anything the president proposes. The Democrats and the president aren't going to agree on major austerity cuts to domestic programs that help the lower and middle class.

The Republicans scream over achievements President Barack Obama. They cheer when things are failing.

You see they have a candidate they're not satisfied with. They hate Mitt Romney. But you better believe the Republicans are energized and willing to accept a "moderate" like Romney then suffer another term of President Barack Obama. They've been working on gotcha moments to rile up the conservative base.

I am getting really fed up with Congress. They need to pass laws that will fix the economy. Not waste time on trying to witch hunt and distract voters with legislation that could screw up the country.

I've said before and I'll say it again: [They] cheer for failure! Scream at success!

Defending The Dollar!

           
This is a big scandal in the religious world. Crefelo Dollar a mega church pastor who attracts millions of people worldwide is involved in a scandal.

The World Changers Church International located in College Park, Georgia outside of Atlanta. The mega church he founded in the 1980s attracts worshipers. And yes, he's gonna need Jesus Christ in order to help him get out a crisis in the family home.

Dollar was arrested in Fayetteville, Georgia on charges of allegedly attacking his 15-year-old daughter. The initial report stated Dollar's 15-year-old daughter accused him of choking her, throwing her to the ground, and spanking her with his shoe. The official charges were simple battery and cruelty to children, both misdemeanors. He was later released on a $5000 bail.

On his program, he vehemently denied that he hit his daughter and called the charges false and discriminatory.

The followers have defended him and they're claiming that the young girl and her sister are lying to shame their father.

Now, I am agnostic and I haven't been to church in awhile. I always felt that those in the church are trying to push their radical views upon me and prop me up as a "turn around" to the faith.

I thought that religion is a tax free money maker. Anyone can claim they studied the teachings of a religion.

Do you think these mega-church pastors preach the word?


No.

No one is perfect.

I don't want to make any judgement to say that Creflo Dollar is a violent person or he was wrongly accused of an issue.

But it comes to light of many other scandals plaguing Dollar. He was once investigated by the U.S. Senate for allegedly using his religious teaching to make himself a wealthy man.

This brings back the sex scandal plaguing fellow preacher Eddie Long. Long was accused of sexually harassing and sleeping with former male members of his church. They sued the pastor and some settled out of court with the pastor. The pastor is facing a separation from his wife.

Dollar and Long both preach for profit. They're rich! They can thank GOD for making them successful!

Republicans: We're Gonna Do Something [After We Defeat Obama]!

                     

If you think that sabotaging the economy was the plan of President Barack Obama, you're a stupid person!


Republicans and their allies in the conservative movement are focused solely on trying to defeat the president and those who support him.


They're so focused on trying to pass these ridiculous domestic austerity cuts to social safety nets that could help the middle class.


According to the Dayton Daily News, many lawmakers measure progress in repealing or rolling back existing laws.


Last July, the House voted to roll back key provisions of the Clean Water Act.

In February, it voted to roll back two Department of Education regulations, including guidelines state officials are required to follow when operating a school.

And in May, the House voted to undo the same sweeping mandatory Defense cuts that it agreed to accept during last year’s Budget Control Act.

That doesn’t include various attempts to undo the 2010 health care law, which was enacted under the Democratic-majority Congress.

Congress is already on track to pass fewer laws than any previous Congress in at least 40 years. To date, this Congress has passed 123 public laws with just six months left in the legislative calendar.

During the last Congress, which lasted from 2009 to 2010, 383 laws were passed. In the one before that, it was 460. No Congress in recent memory has come close to the slow pace of lawmaking exhibited by the current group of lawmakers.

There are reasons, observers say, including the two political parties’ inability to get along. But some of the inactivity speaks to a changing philosophy among many in Congress. Making law is no longer a priority.


The president made a comment about the private sector doing fine, and Republicans pounced on it.


Republican candidate Mitt Romney has went forth to push the notion that there's no need for firefighters, police officers and teachers. The Republicans agree with this notion.


Romney criticized the president by saying: “His answer for economic vitality…was, of course, pushing aside the private sector, which he said is doing fine.  Instead, he wants to add more to government!”


“He says we need more firemen, more policemen, more teachers. Did he not get the message in Wisconsin? The American people did. It’s time for us to cut back on government and help the American people.”


President Barack Obama must go after the Republicans. They're screwing up the country in the name of these ridiculous culture wars.
