Zimmerman Trial!

Extremist are hoping for a race riot if that idiot is acquitted of murder.

Where's the outrage?

I don't see anyone planning on rioting in the streets. I mean how many Black folks rioted?

According to The Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall and Kookspiracy advocate Crazy Jones, a massive riot in the streets if that idiot is acquitted of murder of Trayvon Martin.

If you're looking for the WILD NIGGER stories, find all the possibilities with racial extremist Paul Joseph Watson. He quotes information from CNN and the Sanford Police about the possibility of rioting if that idiot's trial ends in his favor.

Sanford Police Chief Cecil Smith and other city officials are worried that the outcome of the George Zimmerman trial could spark “violence” and have crafted a “secret law enforcement” plan to deal with potential social disorder.

A CNN report shows Sanford police going door to door in an attempt to calm residents about possible unrest in response to the Zimmerman verdict.

“Our worst fear is that we will have people from outside of the community coming in and stirring up….violence in the community,” Smith told CNN’s David Mattingly.

Sanford Mayor Jeff Triplett echoes Smith’s concerns, warning that just one person intent on violence could spark wider disorder and “a provocation of violence”.

City Manager Norton Bonaparte is similarly on edge, fearing a Rodney King-style riot if Zimmerman is found not guilty.

“I’m saying that’s a scenario that’s certainly a possibility,” said Bonaparte, adding that plans had been made through law enforcement but that he would not go into detail on the nature of what they were.

Police Chief Cecil Smith was similarly evasive when asked if SWAT teams or “special personnel” were on standby to respond to disorder.

“As far as the particulars of the plans, we’re not releasing that,” Smith told CNN.

Authorities have also enlisted the help of local pastors who are acting as “observers” in the Zimmerman trial and will then report back to their congregation.

Sybrina Fulton, the mother of Trayvon Martin takes the stand.

Sybrina Fulton, the mother of Trayvon Martin takes the stand. The Associated Press and The Daily Mail report on the testimony of Fulton and her oldest son.

The mother and brother of Trayvon Martin testified Friday that screams for help captured in the background of audio of a neighbor's 911 call came from the 17-year-old.

Sybrina Fulton and Jahvaris Fulton took the witness stand during the trial of George Zimmerman, the former neighborhood watch volunteer charged with second-degree murder in Martin's shooting death. Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty and says he shot the teen in self-defense during a fight.

After the audio was played, prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda asked Sybrina Fulton, "Who do you recognize that to be?" She replied, "Trayvon Benjamin Martin."

Identifying the screams on the 911 call could be critical to the case because it may help determine who was the aggressor during the scuffle between Zimmerman and Martin.

Brother of slain teenager Trayvon Martin takes the stand. Jahvaris Fulton-Martin is the half-brother.

Under cross-examination, defense attorney Mark O'Mara suggested that Sybrina Fulton may have been influenced by others who listened to the 911 call, including relatives and her former husband.

O'Mara also asked Fulton hypothetically whether she would have to accept it was Zimmerman yelling for help if the screams did not come from her son. He also asked if she hoped Martin didn't do anything that led to his death.

"I heard my son screaming," Fulton said. "I would hope for this to never have happened and he would still be here."

Hardcore race baiting from the likes of That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall.

Jahvaris Fulton, Martin's brother, also testified the screaming voice was that of Martin.

But O'Mara asked him why last year he had told a reporter that he wasn't sure if the voice belonged to Martin. Jahvaris Fulton, in explaining his comment to the reporter, told O'Mara he was "shocked" when he heard it.

"I didn't want to believe it was him," Jahvaris Fulton said.

O'Mara asked to play the television interview for jurors, but Judge Debra Nelson denied his request for the time being.

Jahvaris Fulton's testimony was broken up by efforts to unlock the evidence room adjacent to the courtroom. Unable to open it, court officials called a locksmith with a drill to help them out.

Idiot and defense attorney went to That Guy Who Helped Obama Win. That interview was used in trial.

Before testifying, Sybrina Fulton posted on Twitter "I pray that God gives me the strength to properly represent my Angel Trayvon."

After the mother and brother testified, the doctor who performed an autopsy on Martin took the witness stand. Associate Medical Examiner Shiping Bao started describing Martin as being in pain and suffering after he was shot, but defense attorneys objected. The judge sustained the objection, and Bao was directed away from that line of questioning.

He later estimated that Martin lived from one to 10 minutes after he was shot, and the bullet went from the front to the back of the teen's chest, piercing his heart.

"There was no chance he could survive," Bao said.

Summer Heat!

Okay, Friday brings forth the release of the jobs report. And there's a sign that the economy is improving.

The Labor Department reports that there were 196,000 jobs added in the month of June. Unfortunately the unemployment number continues to stand at 7.6%.

The signs that more Americans are looking for jobs with cautious optimism. So there's a slight possibility more Americans are confident to find a job in less than a week.

There is still long term joblessness. People are very cautious of looking for a job. People continue to think we're still in a recession despite the improvements in the economy and stock market rebound.

There are more service industry jobs that offering less hours and low pay. But require overwhelmingly hard work.

Congress job approval is terrible. The congress has job approval at 13%

The president's job approval is at 45%. Mostly due to the controversies of the NSA, IRS and lack of progress in his second term.

The country is bouncing back.

But there's still some who would rather take it to the ground so they can have a "gotcha moment".

Feds Stall Obamacare In The Workplace!

In the potential of conservative backlash, the president stalled implications of the controversial health care law that required employers to provide insurance to workers or face fines.

The controversial legislators in Washington are crowing about the president's pull back on the Affordable Healthcare Law.

The conservative business owners decided to stiff the part time and temporary worker by cutting their hours so it forces them to quit, and/or forces full time workers to be available for any shift necessary to the needs of the company.

It's happening in the service industry and manufacturing industry.

So in order to quarrel the outrage and also save grace for the potential defeat in the 2014 U.S. Midterm Elections, the White House issued executive orders to hold back the mandate for businesses until 2015.

The businesses already plotted against the worker. They wanted that perennial loser Mitt Romney to win.

He didn't win, so now they'll either punish the workers with cuts in their hours or mandatory layoffs.

The Washington Post reports that the Affordable Care Act requires all employers with more than 50 full-time workers provide health insurance or pay steep fines. That policy had raised concerns about companies downsizing their workforce or cutting workers’ hours in order to dodge the new mandate.

In delaying the enforcement of that rule, the White House sidesteps those challenges for one year. It is also the second significant interruption for the Affordable Care Act, following a one-year delay on key functions of the small business insurance marketplaces.

Together, the moves could draw criticism that the administration will not be able to put into effect its signature legislative accomplishment on schedule.

Elbert Guillory: Tokens Please!

Another Black Republican comes out and the junk food media folks embrace the reactionary.

Those conservative agitators in the junk food media are putting on another Black Republican as their savior against the massive outcries of bigotry within the Republican Party.

Some nobody from Louisiana named Elbert Guillory has announced last month he's switched parties.

Elbert Lee Guillory (born June 24, 1944) is an African American Republican member of the Louisiana State Senate.

He represents District 24, including his native Opelousas, Louisiana, and an assortment of rural precincts.

Up until 2007, Guillory had been a registered Republican. He became a Democrat in 2007 when he first ran for the state House in the heavily Democratic District 40.

During the 2013 regular session of the Louisiana Legislature, Guillory switched his party affiliation back to Republican.

Officially, Guillory's party-switch occurred on May 31, when he was presented with the Frederick Douglass Award from the @Large Society. Earlier, State Senator Karen Carter Peterson, the chair of the Louisiana Democratic Party, had indicated racism to be the reason why the Louisiana Legislature and Governor Bobby Jindal opposed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), a federal statute adopted in 2010 by Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama. Jindal and the legislature had declined to implement in Louisiana that part of the federal act offering the states federal funding for Medicaid.

Guillory took exception to Carter Peterson's characterization of the opponents of Obamacare, but his intent to switch parties had already been under consideration.

Before Guillory's switch, the last Republican of African-American ethnicity in the Louisiana Senate had served during the Reconstruction era.

In accepting the award, Guillory compared himself to 19th-century abolitionist Frederick Douglass, a Republican who had supported Abraham Lincoln.

Guillory has a conservative political philosophy.

Guillory explained his party switch in a 4-minute 17-second video widely circulated in state and national media outlets, including the radio programs of King Hippo, That Guy Who Helped Obama Win, and by Some Guy on Loserville.

The video was viewed on You Tube within the first three days by nearly 500,000. Filmed in the rear of the Senate chamber, the video calls the Democrats "the party of Jim Crow" and depicts the Republicans as "the party of freedom and progress." Guillory said that his defection to the Republican Party is "not only right for me, but for all of my brothers and sisters in the black community."

He decided that his principles are to be a "proud Black Republican". He wants to wake "us Black folk" out of the trance of Brotha Barack.

He believes that "NIGGERS" are taking advantage of the hard fought earnings of patriots who fought for the right to push religion in school.

He believes that evil "Democrat Party" started the Ku Klux Klan, gave Blacks no hope in New Orleans and other Black majority cities. He thinks that Planned Parenthood plots genocide, and that Muslim in the White House is a "socialist".

Guillory doesn't want to be trapped on "da plantation" like the rest of "us Black folk".

See he's a freed NEGRO. He's welcomed with open arms in the Republican Party. The party who freed the slaves.

The party that claims that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is one of their alumni.

The party who believes that Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lyndon B. Johnson, Bill Clinton and the Muslim Socialist Mulatto are all racists in disguise.

Real heroes are like Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush made this country safe and stopped evils home and abroad.

He switched parties because he probably didn't get what he wanted out of a committeeship and the previous party was tired of his bullshit. So they've said good riddance to him. 

But to The Guy Who Helped Obama Win, King Hippo and The Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall, he's the umpteenth new "BLACK HOPE".

Elbert Guillory played the bait and switch game. He was then a Republican, before became a Democrat, before he became a Republican. He wanted to bait Blacks into voting for him in a heavily Democratic district. Upon redistricting, he lost a portion of his district. So instead of competing for it, he'll just switch to become a Republican so he didn't have to face a defeat in the general election this year. Louisiana goes for another governor this year after Bobby Jindal, a Republican finishes his term.

This is another right wing bigot in Black skin. Another reason to why Blacks will not join the Republican Party. He only cares about winning than those suppose of Black folks he's trying to free from the Democrat Plantation.

Blacks are conservative at heart. But we're not stupid like those who paint us out to be. We're not natural born criminals. We see how conservatives treat Trayvon Martin and the young woman who was a witness.

We see how they reacted to a Cheerio's commercial on YouTube about an interracial family.

We see how they reacted to the notion of a Black woman scream she got an "OBAMA PHONE".

We see how they've disrespected Jay-Z, Beyonce, Jamie Foxx, Susan Rice, Van Jones, Eric Holder, Shirley Sherrod, Nelson Mandela, First Lady Michelle Obama, Ludacris, and Will.i.am. We know they're public figures but damn, these guys look at them as NIGGERS more so than entertainers and politicos.

The reaction to the president is enough for a Black person to not support the Republican Party.

They may have legitimate concerns with the president, fine. But the reactionary bullshit cause by those conservative agitators in the junk food media sponge the minds of these individuals.

They're entitled to be bigots. They have the freedom of speech, like this Guillory person.

But seriously, if I was a Black Republican, why is it that my party atone to all these characterizations?

Do they really want to be diverse?

The Republican Party is 90% WHITE and 10% everything else. Like cocaine.

By the way, I am tired of these NEGROS pissing on the graves of Fredrick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and any other Black leader who fought for the rights to be equal among all the races.

These grandstanding Black Republicans and their conservative allies don't want nothing to do with us.

They rather see the Black man in jail or killing one another. They can't stand Black leaders (i.e. Barack Obama) and hip-hop music.

They want control over us when it comes to entitlements, guns, employment, and housing. But we can't have control over them because we're supposedly the actual racists.

Independence Day!

The third most active holiday in the year. Independence Day. We celebrate 237 years since the United States of America was formed.

The day we celebrate America's "freedom".

It's not a real great day for those who fought for Civil Rights in the South.

The Supreme Court revoked the portion of the Voting Rights Act in which would have the government watch localities that try to play shenanigans at the ballot box.

The junk food media's conservative agitators are hoping that idiot gets off with an acquittal of the murder of Trayvon Martin. They want to see Black America riot in the street so they can blame President Barack Obama for the decision. That idiot thought it was "god's plan" to kill an unarmed teenager. Yeah, those in the media want to wrap the case up with that idiot walking out in a hoodie.

We lost 19 of our brave firefighters in Prescott, Arizona. There was a severe wildfire in the desert and this "hot shot" team were caught off guard by a shifting wind and overwhelmingly hot temperatures. We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to those lost in this senseless tragedy.

The LGBT community can now have benefits as a married couple. In 14 states will allow gay marriage and the possibility of legal challenges will continue in states that don't accept it. Since the Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act and the California Proposition 8, many same sex couples are celebrating and are rushing to the alter. The decision tosses it back to the lower courts.

Our men and women serving overseas in Afghanistan and military bases abroad are not here celebrating. We once again thank them for their service and wish them safe. The military have expanded its resources across the world and many Americans are cautious about intervention in Egypt and Syria.

The United States Congress are once again on a vacation. The members of Congress job approval is at 13%  right  now. With the conservative members of both the Republican and Democratic Party stalling progress, we the American people suffer. The student loans rate will go up now that the Stafford Loan expired.

Just like with the E85 and green energy credits expiring, now another benefit to helping is being scrapped.

You see that our Congress inactiveness has hurt the president's job approval as well.

We're in a sequester. A forced mandate in which it advocates painful cuts to the government and it's impact is being felt in the local communities. The air shows allow U.S. Air Force planes to perform at the shows. In my community, their annual air show ended with a tragedy. A woman who is a professional plane walker died along with her pilot in a crash. Jane Wicker and her pilot Charlie Schwenker died at the Vectren Dayton Air Show in June. Air shows have seen cutbacks with attendance with the lost of Air Force planes.

Look there are plenty of things to be thankful for this holiday weekend. I am proud to be an American.

But there are some things that makes me shake my head in disgust. Our freedom of speech has gotten even more nastier. I am more nastier in how I address the public nowadays. I keep a small circle and it's really getting smaller.

I am not perfect and I don't want to call myself anything less.

But nowadays, if we could allow our freedom of speech create hateful websites, countless gun crimes, legal limbo from the court and the lawmakers, and the despair of hundreds if not millions of those in need:

What is there to celebrate freedom for?

We can barbecue and have fireworks, but we don't have the decency to say thanks to a soldier or help a person in need because we're feed bias by the junk food media, yeah what's is there to celebrate freedom for?
