Shooting At Fort Hood!

Again a shooting at Fort Hood has the nation mourning.


Nearly five years ago, American soldiers were attacked by their own.

Today, I think it may have happened again! We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to those who were lost in this horrible tragedy. The Associated Press reports that this shooting has multiple injuries and the possibility of death.

One person was killed and 14 injured in a shooting Wednesday at Fort Hood, and officials at the base said the shooter is believed to be dead.

The details about the number of people hurt came from two U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the information by name.

Fort Hood said in a statement posted online that its Directorate of Emergency Services had an initial report that the shooter was dead, but that the report was unconfirmed. Additional details were not immediately available.

A U.S. law enforcement official said reports circulating within the Justice Department indicate the shooter died of what appears to be a self-inflicted wound. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is still ongoing.

The Army said on its official Twitter feed that the Texas Army post was still on lockdown. Injured people were being treated at the post's Carl R. Darnall Medical Center and other local hospitals.
Nidal Hasan was a decorated soldier. He snapped and ended up killing 13 of his fellow members. He was inspired to kill by American born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki who became a recruiter for extremism. al-Awlaki was killed in 2011 and Hasan was sentenced to the gas house.

President Barack Obama said he was following the situation closely and that the government will get to the bottom of what happened.

He said Wednesday's incident brought back painful memories of a 2009 mass shooting at the Texas Army post. Thirteen people were killed and more than 30 wounded in what was the deadliest attack on a domestic military installation in history.

"We're heartbroken that something like this might've happened again," Obama said at a restaurant in Chicago where he held a fundraiser.

"The folks there have sacrificed so much on behalf of our freedom. Many of the people there have been on multiple tours to Iraq and Afghanistan," Obama said. "They serve with valor, they serve with distinction and when they're at their home base, they need to feel safe. We don't yet know what happened tonight, but obviously that sense of safety has been broken once again."

The November 2009 attack happened inside a crowded building where soldiers were waiting to get vaccines and routine paperwork after recently returning from deployments or while preparing to go to Afghanistan and Iraq.

Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan was convicted and sentenced to death last year in that mass shooting.

According to testimony during Hasan's trial last August, Hasan walked inside carrying two weapons and several loaded magazines, shouted "Allahu Akbar!" - Arabic for "God is great!" - and opened fire with a handgun.

Witnesses said he targeted soldiers as he walked through the building, leaving pools of blood, spent casings and dying soldiers on the floor. Photos of the scene were shown to the 13 officers on the military jury.
Developments are rapid.
The rampage ended when Hasan was shot in the back by Fort Hood police officers outside the building, which left him paralyzed from the waist down. Hasan is now on death row at the military prison at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas.

After that shooting, the military tightened security at bases nationwide. Those measures included issuing security personnel long-barreled weapons, adding an insider-attack scenario to their training, and strengthening ties to local law enforcement, according to Peter Daly, a vice admiral who retired from the Navy in 2011. The military also joined an FBI intelligence-sharing program aimed at identifying terror threats.

In September, a former Navy man opened fire at the Washington Navy Yard, leaving at least 13 people dead, including the gunman. After that shooting, Hagel ordered the Pentagon to review security at all U.S. defense installations worldwide and examine the granting of security clearances that allow access to them.

The Unlikely Star Of A Viral Video Got Busted For Leaving Scene Of An Accident!



In suburban Tampa, a young woman whips out the camera on an aggressive driver. The aggressive driver closes in on her bumper. She speeds up to avoid him. As he cuts her off, he gives her the finger.

When he recaptures the lane, he jumps the divider and crashes into a streetlight.

"That's what you get," the woman says, laughing loudly. "All on video, buddy."

The video is called Redneck Road Rage Instant Karma. The young woman who refused to be named was going to share this with her friends on YouTube. 

Who know it would have went viral?

On top of that, her video helped identify the driver who apparently left the scene of the accident.

Florida State Patrol and Hillsborough County Sheriff will throw the book at this guy. 
Not so fast, Mr. White. The guy who got nationally shamed after he got into an accident after starting a road rage event.
The YouTube video has garnered millions of views since it was posted March 26 and now, WTSP reports, the man in the video, who police said is 33-year-old Jeffrey White, was arrested.

Cops said they used footage to get White's license plate number. He was charged with reckless driving, leaving the scene, and failure to wear a seatbelt.

Authorities didn't reprimand her for filming the incident instead of keeping all her attention on the road. Instead, she said to WTSP, they were thankful that the footage helped them collar the culprit.

Glenn Beck Sued For Slander!

If you're looking for the "money man", here he is!


The controversial media mogul gotten served his papers. The controversial media mogul has TheBlaze Network which promotes socially conservative and libertarian programs on DishTV.

Since leaving Loserville, we all but wrote this nut off. How we were wrong!

Now establishing himself in Dallas, Chalk E Becker is gaining recognition as not only a conservative agitator, but a wealthy business owner.

Looks like he'll shelve out some cash....

Last year the conservative media went into full blown panic over two Chechnya men who put two backpack bombs near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. The two men  were white and just like every other American. The thing that got them all in a panic is these two were Muslim extremists.

Instead of wearing the hijab and turbans, the extremists are dressing like normal people. They would listen to the same music you and I listen to. They would travel in vehicles and engage in conversation with people just like you and me.

But the junk food media has the perception that all Muslims are sandal wearing men who carry bombs on their chest.

I guess Chalk E Becker made some stupid comments about an individual. The Washington Post reports that less than one week had passed since a pair of bombs had exploded at the Boston Marathon, killing three and injuring hundreds more. The FBI had just identified the Tsarnaev brothers as primary suspects behind the attack. But to Beck, cloaked in a gray button-down and a sheen of indignation, this wasn’t enough.

In attendance at the marathon had been a 20-year-old Saudi Arabian student named Abdulrahman Alharbi.

He was on a full ride to study at the nearby New England School of English. He’d been injured at the marathon, later questioned by police and ultimately cleared of wrongdoing.

Beck, however, had suspicions. The radio host urged the U.S. government to release information on Alharbi or Beck would “expose” him. “Let me send this message very clear,” said Beck, who left Loserville in 2011. ”We know who this Saudi national is…. We know who this man is and, listen to me carefully, we know he is a very bad, bad, bad man.”
The racist right made Abdulrahman Alharbi look like a criminal.
Beck continued days later: “While the media continues to look at what the causes were [behind] these two guys, there are, at this hour, three people involved,” he said, alleging the U.S. government had “tagged” Alharbi as a “proven terrorist.”

The broadcaster eventually called Alharbi an al-Qaeda “control agent” and the “money man” behind the attacks. “You know who the Saudi is?” Beck asked. “He’s the money man. He’s the guy who paid for it.”

“Is this speculation or are you reporting something?” a co-host asked.

Beck ignored the question. “He’s the money man.”

The “money man” has now filed a defamation suit against Beck, who has made a career out of conspiratorial musings. Beck has not responded publicly to the suit, which was filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Boston. He had not responded to e-mails from The Washington Post as of early this morning.

“Alharbi, like many others, was questioned by federal authorities investigating the events of that day,” says the lawsuit. “The authorities quickly concluded that Mr. Alharbi, other than being injured in the attacks, had no involvement.

“Beck repeatedly and falsely identified Mr. Alharbi as an active participant, repeatedly questioned the motives of federal officials in failing to pursue or detain Alharbi and repeatedly and falsely accused Mr. Alharbi of being a criminal who had funded the attacks,” the lawsuit says.

Beck’s allegations added to a cacophony of misinformation that rose out of the Boston bombings, as anonymous Redditors vented unsubstantiated suspicions, and the New York Post plastered its own accusations on the paper’s cover. (The New York Post was sued for defamation in Massachusetts court over the matter, and the case is pending.)

Beck, normally a frenetic tweeter, has remained quiet since the lawsuit was filed.

The host’s allegations have haunted the Saudi student, according to the complaint. “Alharbi has received numerous messages, internet postings and other communications based on Beck’s false statements accusing him of being a murderer, child killer and terrorist.”

Alharbi told the Islamic Monthly in May that such accusations have left him changed forever. “All the police officers and the FBI … and all the nurses and all the doctors were staring at me…. I was looking [at] them like, is it because of the color of my skin, or is it because of the name of my country?”

Pop Singer's Bodyguard Smacks Up Fan!

Lil' Wayne signs Christina Milian to the YMCMB label.

The Cash Money/Young Money empire is growing. The label helped Lil' Wayne, Birdman, Drake, Tyga and Nicki Minaj into the mainstream with catchy hooks and mainstream album releases.

Some of the veteran acts have decided to save their careers, hop on the label that's making money.

The Game, Busta Rhymes, reality star Paris Hilton and pop singer Christina Milian have decided to saved their washed up careers, they would join the Cash Money label.

Now I'm all for protecting the lives of high profile celebrities. But is Christina Milian a high profile celebrity?

I mean she released three albums on her previous label Island Def Jam. And of the four, one album managed to make her mainstream buzz.

Nowadays she's now a mom. She temporarily gave up the singing and acting to raise her child.

Having a child with confirmed cheater and former Def Jam act Terius Mash (known professionally as The Dream), Milian filed for divorce after rumors of the entertainer cheating on her.

After having a chance to rebound by appearing on Dancing With The Stars, the pop singer announced that she's getting back into the studio with her new crew.

Today, she gets her street cred for allowing her bodyguard smack away a crazed fan. Although the video shows the bodyguard open palm the broad, the video shows that it may land him and Milian in the courtroom if the woman decides to take them to court.

The woman (wearing only a bra and shorts) went after a bodyguard protecting Christina ... and the bodyguard swatted her away with an open palm to the face.

We have no idea who the woman is or why she was upset -- but the video's intense.

Christina was in a great mood on her way into Hooray Henry's ... but the short-tempered security guard definitely led her out in a hurry.

Heels Kill!

Men find women in heels to be very sexy.

Houston, Texas is the fourth largest city in America. And somewhere in metro area, a woman does something so deadly it may give her life in the iron college. The woman is accused of murdering her boyfriend with a stiletto heel.

Ana Trujillo, 45 is currently in Harris County lockup over this one. It's gaining national attention.

She was in a dispute with her on-and-off boyfriend Dr. Alf Stefan Andersson over a nightclub fight.

Trujillo claims that Andersson got jealous when a guy hit on her. They continued this argument into their home and I guess this led to her stabbing him in the face, head and neck with her spiky heels.

The mother of two will now face justice on this one.

Houston metro police have discovered the man in a hallway with stab wounds. Trujillo called the law and when they arrived she answered the door covered in blood.

Now as trial begins, Trujillo may take the stand. She will claim that she's a victim of domestic abuse.

The Houston Chronicle reports that Trujillo stabbed the victim at least 25 times with a stiletto heel as she beat him to death last year.

"It looked like something out of a horror movie," Assistant Harris County District Attorney Sarah Mickelson told the jury of seven men and five women. "There was so much blood, the police officer thought Stefan had been shot in the face."

Mickelson said Andersson had been stabbed and was "beaten to bloody pulp."

Trujillo's defense team said a fight broke out because Andersson did not want Trujillo to leave town to visit her daughter. They said he believed Trujillo would end the couple's tumultuous relationship.
Houston woman could face life in the iron college for stabbing man with her shoe.
"The man went crazy and said, 'you're not leaving,' " said Jack Carroll, an attorney for Trujillo. "He grabbed her and slammed her against the wall."

Carroll said the couple had spent the evening drinking together and went to Andersson's Museum District condominium about 2 a.m.

"There was a life and death struggle that night," Carroll said. "And she did what she had to do."

Although investigators believe Trujillo used a stiletto high heel to stab Andersson, the defense said Monday it was a platform high heel.

The trial, in state District Judge Brock Thomas' court, is expected to last more than a week.



ACA (aka Obamacare) Signup Deadline!

Affordable Care Act final signup. The president's job approval rises.

The Affordable Care Act's final signup is today. You have til midnight tonight to complete a full registration. By law, anyone who refuses to sign up for health insurance enrollment will face a tax penalty.

According to Gallup, politics affect the uninsured. Twice as many Democrats will sign up for insurance, while those stupid Republicans will risk paying a penalty on their taxes for refusing to sign up.

Of course the conservative agitators are continuing the fear mongering campaign once again at the last minute to make their final case to attack the healthcare law. Those hapless Americans who are fixated on solely hating President Barack Obama are going to make themselves have ulcers.

So many conservatives are trying to make the case to reject the law. Despite it passing Congress, being signed into law by the president, the ACA faced courtroom challenges. The conservatives took this all the way to the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court recognized the ACA as the law.

One would think it end. Nope.

Republicans are still fixated on repealing the law. They've tried to repeal the law over 50 times.
Four years.
They've complained about the internet website. They harped on the internet website crashing. Still whining about the website giving out personal information. Of course these are Republicans who want to be on That Guy Who Helped Obama Win's program.

They've complained over and over about the White House cooking the books. Why?

Obviously people have gotten the word. The website is experience heavy internet traffic because thousands are officially signing up for the law.

Sign ups this month and according to the Health and Human Services secretary Kathleen Sebelius there's been over 6 million Americans officially signed up. Also the bump by the president's appearance on Zach Galifianakis' Between The Two Ferns helped the young and uninsured sign up.

A long way to go but improvements are helping move the law into effect.

Did you know that conservative agitators and their staff members probably signup for healthcare coverage?

Do you know that Republican staffers are required to signup for healthcare coverage?

And do you actually believe the dozen or so White folks who appear on Loserville scaring you with tales of Obamacare mishaps?

Remember Americans, you are required to signup for health insurance.

People without insurance hurt us all. Because it affects our premiums and is probably one of the main reasons for most of our economic woes.

The Affordable Care Act benefits include: Non discrimination on pre-existing conditions. Anyone who is not working and is under 26 will remain on their parent's healthcare. Employers must require full-time workers to have an option to buy insurance. Businesses with over 50 employees must have insurance for their employees.

Disspell the myths!
