Friday Night Lights!

Man this has been a long week. I've worked so hard and hadn't got the opportunity to keep the postings on Journal de la Reyna plentiful. I apologize though! Anyway, we will close out January with the latest things I've missed while I was at work those last few days.

One thing that I'll cover is the confirmation of the controversial Florida man who killed an unarmed teen. He drove the narrative that he stood his ground despite having a shaky story and constant run-in with law enforcement. A trial that created a racial and political divide in America.

A man who wants to continue to keep his celebrity in the spotlight despite pleas to keep his profile low!

George Zimmerman is planning on getting the boxing gloves on for a celebrity event.

Certainly it's going to piss off Black America.

It's funny, he's willing to do this stuff. And for charity.

“Boxing isn’t new to me,” Zimmerman told Radar Online. “It’s something I had picked up well before the incident and it’s something that I liked, I enjoyed, and I kept up with it and I was able to lose a tremendous amount of weight and get a healthy lifestyle.”

Zimmerman was eventually acquitted of second-degree murder and manslaughter in the case, which became a focal point for racial tensions.

Prospective challengers are urged to contact promoters by email at fightgeorge@hotmail.com, and promoter Damon Feldman said Zimmerman would be willing to fight a black person.

“We’re not looking at it as a race thing,” Feldman said. “We haven’t discussed purple, yellow, white, black.”

The Compton-based rapper Game is hoping that Zimmerman gets into the ring. After all the controversial rapper wants to "knock the shit" out of him. “I will beat the f*ck out of him,” the rapper told TMZ. “I would not be boxing for me. I’d be boxing for the legacy of Trayvon Martin and for his family.”

Outspoken entertainer Game wants to fight Zimmerman.

Tracy Martin and Sabrina Fulton would rather see the rapper use his talents somewhere else. Like try to repeal state laws that enhance the castle doctrine (aka stand your ground) laws.

Game, who has a tattoo of the slain teen on his leg. “I would definitely take pleasure in it. It’s legal, and I want to show him you can solve your disputes without a weapon.”

Zimmerman said the boxing match was his idea.

“Prior to the incident I was actually going to the gym for weight loss and doing boxing-type training for weight loss,” Zimmerman said, “and a mutual friend put me in contact with Damon and provided me with an opportunity and motivation to get back in shape and continue with my weight loss goals and also be able to help a charity out.”

He declined to identify the charity or say whether he would be paid for the match.

“I’d love to tell you [the charity] but unfortunately there’s so much animosity still from people out there, that if I name the charity now they would get bombarded with negativity, so I’d rather not,” Zimmerman said. “I’ll leave it up to them to say if they want it to be publicized or not. But I will tell you that it’s an animal rescue.”

After his July 2012 acquittal, Zimmerman has had several brushes with the law but was not charged in a domestic violence case against his estranged wife, and his girlfriend recanted her allegations against him in another domestic violence case.

Tragedy In Atlanta!

One of the nation's busiest expressways was shutdown after major snowfall.

The southern playground is facing a snow emergency.

Atlanta, New Orleans, Birmingham, Montgomery, Charlotte, Columbia and Raleigh got a horrible taste of winter weather.

The migrants of the Midwest and Northeast wanted to escape to the South.

I guess they've brought their old ways down to the South.

Major snowfall happens to plague the South. And most Americans were caught off guard by it.

Georgia Republican governor Nathan Deal and Atlanta independent/Democratic mayor Kasim Reid taken heat for the lack of preparedness for this weather event.

Pictures of the major highway complex of Interstate 75/85 shows that the 12 lane expressway between Midtown and Downtown Atlanta a parking lot. It shows a bunch of cars parked in gridlock because the snow plows didn't come and the roads were extremely dangerous.

At least a number of people have died in the Polar Vortex event.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to those lost in this event/

Stress extreme caution during weather events.

Prolonged exposure to the elements will affect your skin. Make sure you are prepared by wearing warm gloves, a wool or knit cap, proper shoes and boots. Make sure you check your fluids and tires.

Tire pressure is essential when dealing on the roadways. If you are to have an emergency, make sure you have bottle water, some parishable food, a nice blanket. hand warmers and proper medicine.

Make note that in the first respond units and tow companies are overwhelmed during these events. You have to have patience whenever you're stranded. Some events could take up to 3 hours if you have a non-emergency accident.

Also heed snow emergencies warnings. If you're having either a level 1 or 2 event, it's noted that you're taking an extreme risk going on the roads. Level 1 means the roads are dangerous use extreme caution/

Level 2 means that roads are impassable you are to avoid travel if absolutely necessary.

Level 3 means that you are risking a citation if you're out on the roads when its noted that roads are extremely dangerous and emergency personal is required on the roads during the event.

Be safe on the roads during the remaining winter. Your life is more important.

State Of The Union

President Barack Obama tells Congress and the nation that if gridlock continues he will use his executive orders to get things done. Republicans weren't impressed with it. Of course, there's plenty of Republicans acting like idiots that night.

Apologies to the good readers of Journal de la Reyna, I had to work last night and didn't get the opportunity to listen to the president's State of The Union Address.

I almost wanted to just get an opportunity to sneak off the job and peak out the president's speech.

But alas, I will elaborate over the themes of President Barack Obama's address for his sixth year as the leader of the United States.

The main themes of the president's address is income inequality, women's rights, ending Iranian sanctions, immigration reform, the healthcare law, his executive orders, and climate change.

Unbelievable, there were four Republican responses. Four lawmakers were addressing the nation.

Two Stallmigos and two congresswomen had an opportunity to undermine the president. U.S. Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Florida U.S. Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen delivered the most recent Republican response, on January 28, 2014, in English and Spanish, respectively.

Stallmigos Rand Paul of Kentucky and Mike Lee of Utah do unofficial Republican responses. The Tea Party Express does one with Lee and Paul does his little showboating response.

Of course these two have no legislative accomplishments as of today. They are often mentioned as potential presidential contenders.

House Speaker John Boehner looks like a sour puss. Even though the president tossed him a shout out for being a son of a tavern owner.

Steve Stockman walked out. He of course wanted news attention. He is going for John Cornyn's senate spot. It's possible that Stockman could beat Cornyn. After all we got Stallmigo Ted Cruz.

Trey Radel gets out of Congress. He was forced out after it was revealed he was purchasing cocaine while in office. He sought for treatment after he was found guilty of possession.

Michael Grimm acts a fool in front of New York television reporter.

Willie Robertson, Sean Hannity (aka That Guy Who Helped Obama Win) and Tyrone Woods' dad Charles were guest of the extremely conservative Republican lawmakers.

Obviously it's the talk of the week, what's your take on it?
