That Was Easy!

Congratulations to Senate-elect Cory Booker. The Newark mayor trounced the Republican bigot Steve Lonegan in a U.S. Senate special election. This special election victory gave Democrats 55 and Republicans 45 in the U.S. Senate.

The 44 year old energetic politico has gained a reputation for his personal involvement in public service, including going on a ten-day hunger strike outdoors to draw attention to the dangers of open-air drug dealing, living on a "food stamp" budget to raise awareness of food insecurity, shoveling the driveway of a constituent upon request, allowing Hurricane Sandy victims into his home, helping a constituent propose to his girlfriend, rescuing a dog from freezing temperatures, saving a woman from a house fire at his own risk and rescuing a dog that had been locked in a crate. He is an avid Twitter user and played collegiate football at Stanford.

There will be two members of the U.S. Senate who are Black.

Booker and Republican Senator Tim Scott signaled that they'll run for reelection to have a complete term.

In 2012, Tim Scott was promoted by Republican governor Nikki Haley of South Carolina. She appoint him to replace Jim DeMint. The controversial firebrand Jim DeMint quit the Senate to become president of The Heritage Foundation.

In 2013, Frank Lauterberg passed away paving the way for Booker to take on the challenge.

BREAKING: Government Shutdown Adverted (For 6 Months)!

Gambled his political future to the tone of extremism. 

The Senate passed a bipartisan budget bill and debt ceiling increase.

The House of Representatives controlled by the Republicans finally gave up their useless fight over Obamacare. This has sparked a feud within the party itself. The House will finally pass a clean resolution to fund the thousands of workers off the job. This will also prevent a spark of a global recession.

For nearly 20 days, government workers were furloughed and some were even working without getting paid.

Those off the job will be compensated for time missed.

The debt ceiling will be raised for a moment.

Now six months from now, we'll be back in the same mess we've gotten in. But this time, the Republicans can't stop Obamacare. And this time Republicans will have to pick their fights carefully. Because if they try this stunt again, they're going to lose everything.

Boehner and the tea party were finally forced to release their grip Wednesday by a bipartisan coalition in the U.S. Senate that said enough is enough, and the looming deadline of potential default starting Thursday.

“The House has fought with everything it has to convince the president of the United States to engage in bipartisan negotiations aimed at addressing our country's debt and providing fairness for the American people under ObamaCare," Boehner said after he finally waved the white flag. "That fight will continue. But blocking the bipartisan agreement reached today by the members of the Senate will not be a tactic for us."

All that Republicans got for the bruising battle was a fig leaf provision on Obamacare and record low approval ratings.

The bill agreed upon by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) will fund the government through Jan. 15 and extend the $16.7 trillion debt ceiling through Feb. 7. It also includes back pay for unpaid and furloughed federal workers and an agreement that both chambers would open a budget conference committee for the first time in years.

The lone change to Obamacare was minimal, and Democrats said they liked it. It involves putting tighter restrictions on income verification standards for people receiving subsidies in the Affordable Care Act's new insurance marketplaces. It was a far cry from defunding or delaying the law, as many Republicans conceded the strategy to focus the fight on Obamacare had been wrong from the start.

Republicans did notch a significant victory in the final deal. It funds the government until mid-January at the sequestration levels specified by the 2011 Budget Control Act that ended the last debt showdown. But Republicans had won that concession from Democrats weeks before the House set out on its doomed effort to strangle Obamacare.

"The sad truth is, we ended up where we started," said Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). "We achieved our goal, but at a cost. It never should have been this way."

Cruz grabbed one final moment in the spotlight, railing on the Senate floor against letting the Treasury Department pay the debts Congress has run up and putting federal workers back on the job.

"This is a terrible deal," Cruz said. "This deal embodies everything about the Washington establishment that frustrates the American people."

But even as Cruz spoke, he conceded defeat by accurately predicting the bill would pass "by a big margin," and accused his Senate colleagues of abandoning House Republicans in the fight against Obamacare.

"I ask you to imagine a world in which Senate Republicans united to support House Republicans," Cruz said. "It is heartbreaking to the American people that Senate Republicans divided as they did and decided to direct their criticism, direct their attention, direct their cannon fire at House Republicans and at those standing with the American people.

"They became the Air Force bombing our own troops -- bombing House Republicans, bombing conservatives," Cruz said.

The 18 senators who voted against the final deal are all idiots: Republicans Tom Coburn (Okla.), John Cornyn (Texas), Mike Crapo (Idaho), Ted Cruz (Texas), Mike Enzi (Wyo.), Chuck Grassley (Iowa), Dean Heller (Nev.), Ron Johnson (Wis.), Mike Lee (Utah), Rand Paul (Ky.), Pat Roberts (Kansas), Jim Risch (Idaho), Marco Rubio (Fla.), Tim Scott (S.C.), Jeff Sessions (Ala.), Richard Shelby (Ala.), Pat Toomey (Pa.), David Vitter (La.).

President Barack Obama said he would sign the measure "immediately."

"We'll begin reopening our government immediately and we can begin to lift this cloud of uncertainty and unease from our businesses and the American people," Obama said in a brief speech at the White House.

The standoff began over the summer, when tea party Republicans, led by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), demanded that the House of Representatives lock government funding in a chokehold unless Democrats and Obama defunded the Affordable Care Act.

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said no, at first. But but he later gave in, ignoring the advice of other Republicans, from Mitt Romney to John McCain (Ariz.) and Tom Coburn (Okla.).

Here's pictures that explain the whole fiasco and the lead up to passing a law.

There's A Phone Number For The Healthcare Law, You Idiots! By The Way, We're In A Government Shutdown, Too!

Jan Crawford of CBS News interviews controversial Stallmigo, Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas). Turdporter trying to use GOP talking points to discredit the healthcare law. Tell her to butt dial 1-800-312-2596 if she has trouble on the computer trying to sign up.

Waking up to CBS This Morning and I got the opportunity to hear the news agitators talk about the "rocky start" to the Affordable Healthcare Act's website. We hear millions (or thousands) of people trying to access the website and they're having problems. We even hear talk from President Barack Obama's former press secretary and campaign adviser Robert Gibbs tells Obama News that people should be "fired" for the rollout.

Yeah, I can say this clearly that turdporter Jan Crawford of CBS News is a god awful.

She's doing the Republicans a favor by reporting on the minor glitches over at Healthcare.gov. Giving the notion that the whole law is screwed up and the president overplayed his hand.

One thing in particular is the system server crashing or continuous mentions of "PLEASE TRY AGAIN LATER" on the website.

That's common when you're also in a "GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN". Obviously every government website is down.

But also there's a phone number 1-800-318-2596. It's toll free and you can call it. Depending on call volumes, you should be able to have a live operator to help you sign up for affordable healthcare.

Understand, that computer users may have some form of frustration with the website. It's perfectly fine.

Here's a scenario. If you have rolled out a website and it has frequent glitches, do you just shutdown the website or work on making improvements to it?

Apple, Inc. has the most glitches on their software. I own a iPod (4th Generation Touch). Do you know how many times I've had my apps crash or be updated?

Do I think the iPod Touch is a great product? Yeah.

Do I understand that the iPods, iPads, and iPhone have problems? Yeah.

That's the same way I feel about the Affordable Healthcare Act (Obamacare).

It's a great product. It has problems. They will fix them.

Anything that's part of the United States government is slower and it's nearly down.

So hence forth, a stupid Republican talking point.

The government website for the Affordable Healthcare Act is down. We can scream that the whole law is bad and we can win elections.

You got to be the most gullible person on the planet to not use other methods to access a product.

I mean you can get mailer. You can call a phone number.

Are you vulnerable without a computer?

It's funny that Republicans failed in stopping this. They wanted to defund, delay, repeal, legally challenge, filibuster and now intentionally taking the country to the brink of an economic disaster because of a law.

Why?

They hate the president and his policies. And of course, they're not satisfied with his race. Either way, it's not helping them with the general public.

People who run these websites are government workers too. So with this government shutdown, government workers who work in the domestic sector are furloughed or placed on leave.

Congress is messing with people's lives. The media elite are enabling them by putting on more Republicans who bolster concerns without solutions. And of course, we the gullible audience believes them.

Digital Hate: Billboard Calls Obama Hitler!

Peek a boo, I impeach you!

Fort Wayne, Indiana is a city in the northeast quadrant of the state. The population is 224,000 people and somewhere in that city lies a downright ignorant ass human pile of excrement who believes the twice elected first Black president is Adolf Hitler and he should be impeached.

WANE TV reports that an embarrassment has plagued their city. A person with a digital billboard has the president with a little mustache and the words of impeachment.

Adorned with a picture of Obama, complete with Hitler's signature mustache, the billboard -- reportedly located at the Cornerstone Plaza in Kendallville. The town is located about 30 miles from Fort Wayne.

The Cornerstone Plaza sign located on U.S. 6 in Kendallville showed the images. The sign caused much controversy in the city.

"The first thing I thought of with that little mustache of Hitler, I didn't like it," said Billy Wright, of Kendallville.

Charlotte Wright lives in Fort Wayne. She said she heard about the sign by watching NewsChannel 15. She shared the story on Facebook and said Facebook users were outraged by the electronic sign.

"It's too bad because it does mark the businesses and the town," she said.

Kendallville Mayor Suzanne Handshoe was made aware of the sign by the town's newspaper. She said she's been iinundated with endless phone calls and messages about the sign. She said this is not the picture she wants painted about her town, and was glad it has been removed.

"All the hard work that we put forward as a community to change our image, to be a positive, growing community, and then a sign like this appears. It just undoes everything we've been doing," said Mayor Handshoe.

The sign was made possible by the LaRouchePac. LaRouchePac is a political action committee created by Lyndon LaRouche. He has run for president multiple times but served jail time in 1988 for mail fraud.


Group members tell NewsChannel 15 they were in Kendallville over the weekend talking about the process of impreaching President Obama and what their group is about.

"There to stir the pot and let people know that there's a political fight that's going on, that's going on in D.C. and extends out to the regions of the country," said Bill Roberts of the LaRouchePac.

Our news partners at KPC News reports the sign was taken down Tuesday because it was up longer than it should have been.

Cory Booker: U.S. Senator!

Good looking out. President Barack Obama hopes Cory Booker wins this U.S. Special Election.

The New Jersey special election is going to be held on Wednesday and it's going to be a clear landslide if you can motivate citizens to vote for the Democratic nominee Cory Booker.

The vacancy resulted from the death of five-term Democratic Senator Frank Lautenberg on June 3, 2013.

In the interim, the seat is held by Republican Senator Jeffrey Chiesa, who was appointed on June 6, 2013 by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to serve until the elected winner can be sworn in.

At the time of his appointment, Chiesa, then New Jersey's Attorney General, announced that he would not be a candidate in the special election.

Booker is the current mayor of Newark, New Jersey and he's a sure favorite to win this. But Republicans hope for an opportunity. The Republican nominee Steve Lonegan is using every trick out of the Tea Party playbook to label the two term mayor as "NIGGER".

Getting an endorsement from the Stallmigos, Palin Da Ass and That Guy Who Helped Obama Win isn't beneficial to the former Bogota mayor.

Cory Booker and Steve Lonegan fight for an open U.S. Senate seat.

The desperation is in the air over at the Lonegan campaign headquarters. The birther craze now is spreading into this race.

Some conservative activists are now questioning Booker's home residency as a last ditch attempt to paint the mayor as "untruthful." Then of course, they're talking about urban crime in the city of Newark. It's the last attempt of NIGGERIZATION of Booker (via President Barack Obama).

Most polls say that Booker will win this.

But it's up to the good people of New Jersey to make it happen.

VOTE!

HELP ELECT CORY BOOKER TO THE U.S. SENATE!

Eminem Returns To The Mic!

Eminem releases Marshall Mathers LP 2 in the fourth quarter.

The famous, controversial and yet very reclusive rapper Eminem will emerge again to release a highly anticipated album around November.

Heading back into the studio with his mentor Dr. Dre, the famous entertainer will release the Marshall Mathers LP 2. His album will feature his darker style of rapping. It will feature production from Dr. Dre, NoID, Symbolyc One (S1) and Rick Rubin. The only features include Fun frontman Nate Ruess, pop singer Rihanna, label mate Kendrick Lamar, his affiliated artist Skylar Gary.

This album first single Bezerk was release in August and getting radio play. The two most recent singles Survival and Rap God are out as well.

Eminem has an unique rap style. It's considered dark, edgy and named several MCs who influenced his rapping style. First and foremost is his mentor, Dr. Dre, whose thick, muscular, terror- and paranoia-evoking loops have seen reincarnations in the work of Eminem.

Other influences have included Esham, Kool G Rap, Masta Ace, Big Daddy Kane, Newcleus, Ice-T, Mantronix, Melle Mel (specifically the track "The Message"), LL Cool J,  Beastie Boys, Run–D.M.C., Rakim, and Boogie Down Productions.

A brief summary of The Marshall Mathers LP.

The Marshall Mathers LP sold more than 1.76 million copies in the US in the first week alone, becoming the fastest-selling studio album by any solo artist in American music history. In 2001, the album won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album and was nominated for Album of the Year. The album was certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America in 2011 for shipping 10 million copies in the United States.

Since its release in 2000, the album sold 10,598,000 copies in the US and more than 21 million copies worldwide.

The Marshall Mathers LP has been ranked as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time by Rolling Stone, Time, and XXL.

Rolling Stone placed the album at number 7 on its list of the best albums of the 2000s.

The rapper also has a parenthood moment. ABC News reports that Eminem was reportedly on hand to see his daughter crowned homecoming queen of her Michigan high school last Friday.

Hailie Scott, 17, the rapper’s only biological child with ex-wife Kimberly Scott, was voted homecoming queen of Chippewa Valley High School. Tyler Knepp, a self-described nerd who loves “Star Trek,” was named homecoming king.

According to the local newspaper The Macomb Daily, Eminem watched the proceedings from a classroom inside the high school.

“Hailie came out with her mother Kim (Scott) when she was introduced with all the other kids but her father watched from inside the school because he didn't want to cause a scene — he wanted Hailie to have her own moment,” one parent, who asked not to be identified, told the paper.

Another parent said Eminem was beaming when his daughter’s name was called.

“He opened the door and looked out like — ‘That’s my daughter!’ He just looked like a proud father,” the parent, who also declined to be identified, said.

Eminem has been vocal about his love for his daughter, even including her voice on his 2002 track “My Dad’s Gone Crazy.”

Parents of students who are friends with Scott described her as smart, athletic and caring.

“I think all of the kids in the district have shown respect to their family and just let her live a normal life here out of the spotlight,” one parent, who asked not to be identified, told The Macomb Daily.

Eminem will turn 41 years old on October 17.

Obamacare Is "Slavery!" It's Got Me Ribbed, Says Conservative Restaurant Owner!

Arkansas is a state that President Barack Obama has very low job approval. A state he barely campaigned in during his 2008 and 2012 run. A state that elected Republicans overwhelmingly this time around. Some say that the Democrats of the South aren't like the ones of the North.

The Northern Democrats were too liberal in the eyes of Southern Democrats. Southern Democrats are at best an equal to the Republican Party. Because they can elect a representative who's a Democrat but vote for a president that's a Republican.

Even a former state first lady such as Hillary Clinton would not move the needle if she would run for president. Arkansas is a Republican hold.

Now some of the state's residents are pretty dumb (if not extremist) in their thinking of President Barack Obama.

A controversial sign outside of Rogers, Arkansas restaurant has the people talking.

I know there's probably thousands if not millions of Americans who hate the healthcare law.

I understand the need for protest, but this is an example of the misinformation being spread by the agitators of the conservative media. This is practically an example of bad comparison.

Wonder why Obamacare is Slavery?

Johnny Howard who owns the Smokin' Joe's Ribhouse put up a sign saying that "[Obamacare] is America's Punishment For The Slavery Years."

I guess he's a fan of a former neurosurgeon who just recently got hired to Loserville. And how ironic, this former neurosurgeon had spoke at the far right Value Voters Summit about how the Affordable Healthcare Law is slavery.


This new face to the Black Right is Dr. Benjamin Carson. He's generated buzz this year by insulting the president during a National Prayer's Breakfast in February 2013.

Howard apologized for the sign and said he did not intend for it to offend people.

"I didn't intend for it to be racist-oriented at all," Howard said.

Yeah, invoke a horrible event in American history such as slavery and I guess he wants us to chuckle at it.

Now if it wasn't for those rascally liberals who sit in their underwear trying to stifle the "freedom" to be the condescending bigot that most figured you out to be, none of this would of happened!

States that the president rarely (if ever) visits are Idaho, Wyoming, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Alaska, Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama.

These states are solid red and even the Democrats are not favoring the president.

It's almost hard for the president to win the approval of the residents of these states. They are considered a lost for President Barack Obama in the campaign to inform about the healthcare law.
