Hank Aaron: It Doesn't Surprise Me That [Republicans] Acting Like Those Bigots Who Threaten Me!

It ain't too hard to see, but I believe that the Republicans are acting just like those guys with the hoods on. - Hank Aaron.compares the Republicans and Tea Party to the Ku Klux Klan.

Baseball legend compares the inept Republicans to the Klan.

I couldn't agree with him more. It's the antics by the likes of Mitch McConnell, Louie Gohmert, and those annoying ass agitators on Loserville and talk radio that gives Hank Aaron that reason to believe race contributes to the president's proposals being shut down.

Speaking to USA Today Tuesday on the 40th anniversary of his then record-breaking 715th home run, the 80-year-old Aaron said that Republicans are hindering Obama’s job performance.

“Sure, this country has a black president, but when you look at a black president, President Obama is left with his foot stuck in the mud from all of the Republicans with the way he’s treated,” Aaron told USA Today Sports.

Aaron continued: “The bigger difference is that back then they had hoods. Now they have neckties and starched shirts.”

Aaron stated that there is still room for improvement for race relations in the U.S.

“We have moved in the right direction, and there have been improvements, but we still have a long ways to go in the country,” Aaron told USA Today Sports.

Aaron goes on to describe the racist letters he has kept for decades as he was chasing Babe Ruth’s home run record.

“To remind myself that we are not that far removed from when I was chasing the record,” Aaron explained to USA Today Sports. “If you think that, you are fooling yourself. A lot of things have happened in this country, but we have so far to go. There’s not a whole lot that has changed.”

Aaron was honored before the Braves game against the New York Mets on Tuesday night with a ceremony commemorating the 40th anniversary of his 715th home run, the one that pushed him past Babe Ruth and gave him the major league record.

Aaron finished with 755 home runs, but was eventually passed on the career list by Barry Bonds, whose career was tarnished by steroids allegations. Bonds has 762 homers, but many baseball fans don’t accept that number and stand by Aaron as the true record-holder.

Speaking with reporters after the ceremony, Selig was asked about Aaron being called the true home run king.

“I’m always in a sensitive spot there, but I’ve said that myself and I’ll just leave it at that,” Selig said.

During the ceremony Braves chairman Terry McGuirk said Aaron “set the home-run record the old-fashioned way” and added “You will always be the home run king of all time.”

Retired Braves broadcaster Pete Van Wieren earned a big ovation when he said Aaron is “still recognized as baseball’s true home run king.”
Mr. Aaron forgot that we Republicans freed them slaves - John Boehner and Mitch McConnell.
Aaron, 80, was given a standing ovation in the ceremony before the game. Aaron broke Ruth’s record with his homer on April 8, 1974, off the Dodgers’ Al Downing.

Downing attended the ceremony and threw out the first pitch. Some of Aaron’s 1974 teammates returned, including Dusty Baker, who was on-deck when the record-breaking homer was hit, Ralph Garr, Phil Niekro, Ron Reed, Marty Perez and Tom House, who caught the homer in the bullpen.

Aaron thanked fans “for all your kindness all these many years.” Aaron, recovering from recent hip-replacement surgery, used a walker.

“The game of baseball was a way that I relaxed myself each year that I went on the field for 23 years,”
Aaron said. “I gave baseball everything that I had, everything, every ounce of my ability to play the game I tried to play to make you the fans appreciate me more. Thank you.”

Selig, Aaron’s longtime friend, established the Hank Aaron Award in 1999 to honor the top hitter in each league.

He called Aaron’s 715th homer “the most famous and treasured record in American sports.”

Selig said Aaron was a worthy successor to Ruth as home-run king “because he is the living embodiment of the American spirit. … Baseball is forever our national pastime because of people like Henry Aaron.”

The Braves wore their 1970s era white-and-blue uniforms, complete with small “a” caps, in tribute to Aaron.

The Braves are wearing an Aaron 40th anniversary patch on their uniform sleeves this season.

The numbers “715″ were painted on the outfield grass, stretching from left-center to right-center.

The Braves unveiled Aaron jerseys from other college and professional teams in the Atlanta area. Falcons owner Arthur Blank, former Georgia coach and athletic director Vince Dooley and former Georgia Tech coach Bill Curry were among those who stood with their teams’ jerseys adorned with Aaron’s name and No. 44.

The outfield was filled with fans, each wearing blue 44 Braves jerseys and each holding baseball-shaped signs bearing numbers from 1 to 715.

Holder: Republicans In Congress Are F--ked Up!

Holder got pissed at a Republican lawmaker.

It's about time I add Texas Republican Congressman Louie Gohmert to the list of frequent mentions. The nut-job is a frequent agitator and is good friends with That Guy Who Helped Obama Win.

Gohmert is close with Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and Steve King (R-IA). These three are by far the most stupidest members of the House of Representatives.

He and Attorney General Eric Holder got into it over the week. Gohmert tried to dig into Holder by saying he doesn't give a fuck about the contempt charge brought to him by Congress.

The partisan vote on contempt was brought by Republicans in 2012. They were pushing for documents in the Fast & Furious scandal.

Holder being the top cop got heated.

HOLDER: I think what we promised to do is to provide you and your staff with, uh —

GOHMERT: Sir, I've read you what your department promised and it is inadequate, and I realize that contempt is not a big deal to our attorney general, but it is important that we have proper oversight, so —

HOLDER: You don't want to go there, OK?

GOHMERT: I don't want to go there? About the contempt?

HOLDER: You should not assume that is not a big deal to me. I think that it was inappropriate, I think it was unjust. But never think that was not a big deal to me. Don't ever think that.
Dumbass Tea Party Republican Louie Gohmert of Texas.
Last May, Holder and Gohmert got into an argument at a House Judiciary Committee meeting. Gohmert, who's been consistently critical of the attorney general (if largely inconsistent on the reason for the critique), alleged that the Department of Justice had failed to prevent the Boston marathon bombing. Holder criticized Gohmert's characterization, and Gohmert, flustered, responded: "The attorney general will not cast aspersions on my asparagus." It was never clear what he meant or what he was trying to say, but the "asparagus" line became a running joke, with Gohmert as the target.

The hearing on Tuesday was perhaps more heated, as Gohmert questioned why he had not been provided with documents he requested — that, despite the House voting to hold Holder in contempt last June.



Holder on his part said that:

“And if you don’t believe that… you look at the way the Attorney General of the Untied States was treated yesterday by a House committee. Had nothing to do with me, forget that. What Attorney General has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment? What president has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment?”

Honey Maid: Where's The Love?

A few wholesome commercials pissed off the racist right.

Me and S. Baldwin believe in diversity. We covered many issues facing those of color.

It's part of the reason to why I post on Journal de la Reyna. I'm here to be the voice of those who believe in diversity and equal treatment. I am here because I want to share with the readers a very honest opinion about my community, the government and the things going on in the junk food media.

We do not discriminate against race, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, political and economic standings.

Again you may find my opinion to be pretty upfront and you may not like what I've posted. That's perfectly fine. I don't force anyone to read anything I post. We don't hold no gun to anyone's head telling you to read anything here on Journal de la Reyna.

We do not subject ourselves to reading the word vomit from a person who flexes their "internet gangsta".

I don't read comments anymore. I don't worry what they say about me nowadays. I rather see them lose it when we're declared the winner.
screen_shot_20140407_at_11.21.38_am
Wholesome families were featured in Honey Maid ad. Interracial, same sex, single parent and military families were featured in the ad to promote Wholesome.
The Nabisco Company faced some heavy heat from the racist right after they've aired some online ads featuring a diverse group of families.

This Is Wholesome is the new trademark for the graham cracker Honey Maid and its affiliate Teddy Grahams products.

The company is hoping to celebrate diversity and love among all Americans.

Some families included a single dad and his son, two interracial couples and a same sex couple. Some commercials were spoken in Spanish.

Those were totally awesome commercials.

The racist right was pissed that they seen a White man hold the hand of a Black woman. And yeah, they had an opportunity to see two men who love each other and their children in the ad.

Just last year, me and S. Baldwin were talking about the Cheerio's ad in which an interracial couple and their child made the racist right go bananas.

And of course, YouTube has now made it harder for people to post offensive comments on their pages.

Twitter and Facebook are looking at ways to predetermine who are the "troublemakers" online.

Of course the freedom of speech does come with a price. I mean they're entitled to be the condescending assholes the rest of rational points them out to be.

But since this is an election year, do you believe this could help motivate voters?

Because at every turn the Republicans are blocking equal pay for women, equal rights for the LGBT community and the poor.







There's a bonus: General Mills went ahead with the sequel to the Love commercial by featuring the interracial family and their soon to be new edition.

Colbert Gets The Late Night Spot!

The best decision for Late Night.

Clear front runner.

The Comedy Central satirist is going to be in the late night chair soon. After David Letterman retires, it's clear that Stephen Colbert will take the mantle of Late Night on CBS.

Announced today, CBS president Les Moonves was proud that the comedian will take the seat where Dave sat for over 20 years.

"Stephen Colbert is one of the most inventive and respected forces on television," CBS Chairman and CEO Les Moonves said in a statement Thursday. "David Letterman's legacy and accomplishments are an incredible source of pride for all of us here, and today's announcement speaks to our commitment of upholding what he established for CBS in late night."
Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart mock the controversial New Yorker magazine cover of President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. The New Yorker was trying to make note of the racist right's attacks on the Obamas. Turns out that did more harm than good.
The 49-year-old Colbert, who signed a five-year deal, said in a statement: "Simply being a guest on David Letterman's show has been a highlight of my career. I never dreamed that I would follow in his footsteps, though everyone in late night follows Dave's lead. I'm thrilled and grateful that CBS chose me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go grind a gap in my front teeth."

Colbert's premiere date will be revealed after Letterman figures out a timetable for his final episodes. According to CBS, "Late Show" creative elements, as well as the producers and the location for the Colbert-hosted "Late Show" will be announced at a later date.
Colbert in character. The Comedy Central host of The Colbert Report will end in 2015. He will take the mantle of Late Night when David Letterman retires.
The news will leave a big gap in the lineup at Comedy Central, which has aired "The Colbert Report" since 2005. The network issued the following statement Thursday: "Comedy Central is proud that the incredibly talented Stephen Colbert has been part of our family for nearly two decades. We look forward to the next eight months of the ground-breaking 'Colbert Report' and wish Stephen the very best."

"The Colbert Report" has earned two Peabody Awards and 27 Emmy nominations. In 2013, it scored the Emmy for outstanding variety series. The series took home Emmy wins for outstanding writing for a variety, music or comedy program in 2008, 2010 and 2013.

Before hosting his own show, Colbert rose to fame as a correspondent on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show."

The New Yorker Mocks Boehner, Cruz And McConnell!



Republicans are going to be pissed. The New Yorker makes light of the president's successful signup of 7.1 million enrolled to the Affordable Care Act.

Sam Stein of the Huffington Post had posted that the White House managed to succeed the goal of enrollment despite it's shaky start. The Republicans despite the achievement vow to repeal the whole law.

And have nothing to replace it.

Last Tuesday, the president made a speech in the Rose Garden.

"Last night, the first open enrollment period under this law came to an end," President Barack Obama said. "And despite several lost weeks out of the gate, several lost because of problems with the website, 7.1 million Americans have now signed up for private insurance plans through these marketplaces. 7.1."

"In these first six months, we've taken a big step forward, and just as importantly, this law is bringing greater security to Americans who already have coverage," he added.

The president also hit back at critics of the law, saying the problems they predicted haven't come to pass.

"There are still no death panels, Armageddon has not arrived," he said. "The debate over repealing this law is over. The Affordable Care Act is here to stay."

The release of the latest enrollment figure represents a high-water mark for the legislation, which stumbled dramatically out of the gate amid technical problems plaguing the insurance exchange website. The total of 7.1 million people is slightly higher than the Congressional Budget Office's initial estimate that 7 million would sign up during the six-month open enrollment period.

They make light of the president and his opponents on the cover.

The cover includes: House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), Minority Leader (Senator) Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) and Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN). For you see, they've opposed the healthcare law and were the most vocal agitators in the media.

So what's your take on the cover?


Embedded image permalink

Cause you know we just discussed the Breitfart News cover of Minority Leader (Congresswoman) Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Governor Jerry Brown (D-CA) being photoshopped to controversial celebrities Miley Cyrus and Arnold Schwarzenegger, a former governor himself.

The artist Barry Blitt told the New Yorker, “I enjoyed drawing Ted Cruz, John Boehner, and Michele Bachmann as petulant children—and I especially wanted to draw an open-mouthed Mitch McConnell being spoon-fed his meds.”

Do you believe the cover is tasteless or relevant?

Are the Republicans going to use Obamacare against the embattled Democrats?

Will the success help the president's job approval?

Rapper Ain't Rapping About His Engagement!

Rapper Big Sean and actress Naya Rivera broken up. They called off their wedding plans. 

Def Jam rapper Big Sean is all G.O.O.D!

The Detroit rapper has been dating Naya Rivera for awhile. But all things like their love for one another has come to an end. They've called off an engagement and its over for them.

Apparently the two had some friction. According to the junk food media, there were accusations of Big Sean cheating on her. Big Sean dated his high school girlfriend Ashley Marie from the time he was sixteen until their break-up in early 2013. He subsequently began dating actress Naya Rivera, whom he first he met over Twitter; their relationship became public in April 2013, though Big Sean told Complex that they had been dating for a while beforehand.

One of Sean's ex, Brytni took to Twitter to speak her mind about the situation, claiming that she thinks it's a bad idea for him to be spreading this message to his younger fans.

"I mean it's on you if you want to publicly admit your role in cheating as a positive. But remember..Telling your fans who are mostly young girls that its ok to disrespect another woman is foul. Sorry. Not sorry."

Brytni was also called out in the track by Naya, who sang "Amber, Brytni, Tiffany, Sorry he belongs to me /Heather, Ashley, Stephanie It just wasn't meant to be, Sorry!"

Big Sean was arrested for sexual assault at a concert in Lewiston, New York.

On October 26, 2011, Big Sean pleaded guilty to second degree unlawful imprisonment, and was fined $750. The charges of third-degree sexual abuse were dropped. Big Sean's attorney, Scott Leemon, stated that Big Sean "...did not engage in any type of sexual misconduct.”

Big Sean's rep released a statement to Us Weekly on Wednesday, April 9, announcing that the rapper has decided to call off his engagement to the "Glee" star.

"After careful thought and much consideration, Sean has made the difficult decision to call the wedding off," his rep said. "The recent rumors and accusations reported by so called or fake sources are simply untrue. Sean wishes Naya nothing but the best and it is still his hope that they can continue to work through their issues privately. We will not be commenting again on this matter."

Despite reports that Big Sean, 26, cheated on Rivera, 27, a source tells Us "the allegations are 100% false and untrue" and that the "Beware" singer was the one who ended the relationship.

The couple announced their engagement in October 2013 with Rivera telling the Spring 2014 issue of Cosmopolitan Latinas that she thought Big Sean would make "an amazing husband."

"He's so kind to people, but he also wears the pants in our relationship, which I love," she said. "We Latinas are very independent and strong, so it's even sweeter that I've found somebody who can let me out of that role for a minute."

Sean (born Sean Michael Leonard Anderson, 26) signed to Kanye West's Getting Out Our Dreams Music (G.O.O.D Music) label in 2007 and released two critically acclaimed albums.


Breitbart's Sexist Attack On Pelosi!


The first woman who became the Speaker of the House is photoshopped to the body of controversial pop star Miley Cyrus. And who's the ones that are so disrespectful towards Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic lawmaker from California?

Take one guess?

The people over at Breitfart News have pushed the bar even lower when it comes to yellow journalism.

They disgrace the name of the racial agitator who made it his life mission to expose the institutional left.

Matter of fact, he should be proud.

ABC News reports The conservative-leaning website Breitfart News took some heat on Monday for a new ad campaign featuring a bizarre depiction of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

The ad features an altered image of the California Democrat over the famous picture of Miley Cyrus “twerking” at MTV’s Video Music Awards last year. Above Pelosi is another picture of Calif. Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, made to look like a bodybuilder.

ABC News’ John Parkinson asked Pelosi what she thought of the image.

“It’s so tasteless that I mean, is it even worthy of a question?” Pelosi said. “It’s so undignified.”

Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz also released a statement Monday condemning it.

“To say the least, the Breitfart News ad is foul, offensive, and disrespectful to all women,” Wasserman Schultz said. “It is a disgusting new low and would be reprehensible against any woman – regardless of party.”

The website shows the posters being put up all around California. They are part of a campaign to promote the launch of Breitfart California, a new wing of the website devoted to covering the state’s news and politics.

The push features other altered images, including Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg with a female’s body and TV personality Piers Morgan jumping a border.

Just last week, Majority Whip Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., praised the website’s launch, saying it would fill a “void of conservative activism” that was left after the death of Breitfart founder Andrew Breitfart.

“This weekend’s launch of Breitfart California is a testament to his legacy of holding our public officials accountable for their actions,” McCarthy said in a statement. “I look forward to the voice of reform-minded Californians being represented without bias as Breitfart California launches.”

But today, McCarthy was clearly miffed by the photoshopped images.

“The images are inappropriate,” Mike Long, McCarthy’s spokesman, said. “We requested that Whip McCarthy’s piece be taken down.”

Wasserman Schultz urged GOP leaders to “condemn this outrageous behavior, call on Breitfart News to immediately remove the ad, and not continue to use this website as a forum for their views.”

Breitfart News did not respond to an ABC News request for a comment.

Some liberal agitators didn't find humor in this.









Even some on the racist right argue that Miley Cyrus done it to Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH)



Detroit Men Beat Up Driver Who Ran Over Child!

Steve Utash got a severe beat down after he ran over a child. The men who did this to him are going to get federal charges thrown at them if they did felonious assault with racial angst.

I understand that a child was injured by a motorist. Instead of calling 911 to get Detroit first response, a group of people take the guy out and beat the shit out of him. Again putting the city in a negative light and giving the racist right another stupid talking point about "BLACK ON WHITE CRIME".

ABC News and the Associated Press report that a teenager and two men were charged Tuesday in the brutal beating of a suburban Detroit man after he accidentally hit a child who stepped off the curb into the path of his truck.

Police, meanwhile, credited a nurse with saving the life of driver Steve Utash by stepping between him and the half-dozen or more men who punched and kicked him after the April 2 accident on the northeast side of Detroit.

Wonzey Saffold, James Davis, and Bruce Wimbush, Jr. may get life int he iron college if the victim dies. Right now these three are in Wayne County lockup after they used mob justice on motorist who ran over child.
The incident left the 54-year-old Utash, a tree-trimmer from Macomb County's Clinton Township, with severe head injuries. He is in a medically induced coma.

Bruce Wimbush Jr., 17, Wonzey Saffold, 30, and James Davis, 24, were arraigned Tuesday on charges of assault with intent to murder and assault with intent to commit great bodily harm. Wimbush and a 16-year-old boy were arrested Saturday.

Utash could have been killed if not for Deborah Hughes, a 56-year-old nurse who put herself between the mob and the downed man, according to Detroit police Sgt. Michael Woody.

"She is nothing less than a hero," Woody told The Associated Press. "She basically kneeled and laid down with this guy to get them to stop hitting him. She essentially saved this guy's life. They wouldn't have stopped."
David Harris, the boy ran over shows his injuries.
Police Chief James Craig visited Hughes on Tuesday to thank her, Woody said. The AP left a voicemail Tuesday at Hughes' home.

Hughes told The Detroit News for a story Tuesday that she was watching from a window in her home when David Harris, 10, was hit by Utash's truck. She ran outside to tend to the boy and that's when the mob descended.

"(Utash) was screaming, and they were beating him, and kicking him," Hughes told the newspaper. "I said, 'Please don't hit him anymore,' and they backed up. Everybody cleared the way and gave me room to work on him."

David Harris was treated for leg and other injuries.

Not-guilty pleas were entered Tuesday for Wimbush, Saffold and Davis during video arraignments in 36th District Court. Magistrate Millicent Sherman set bond at $500,000 for each of them.

The 16-year-old was being held in the county's juvenile detention center but has not been charged, according to the Wayne County prosecutor's office. He faces a hearing Saturday.

Requesting a low bond for Wimbush, defense attorney Randall Upshaw told the court the teen had a minor role in the attack and pointed out that he has never given his parents any problems.
Steve Utash's family are saddened by this situation.
A couple who identified themselves as Wimbush's parents declined to comment.

Investigators were trying to determine if the attack was racially motivated. Utash is white. Members of the mob are black.

Detroit is more than 80 percent black. The city and its mostly white suburbs have had a long history of racial strife.

"I have full confidence that the Detroit Police Department and Wayne County prosecutor's office will conduct a comprehensive investigation to resolve this deeply troubling case and determine whether state or federal hate crime laws are implicated by the incident," longtime U.S. Rep. John Conyers said Monday in a statement.

A fundraising campaign on the gofundme.com webpage to pay for Utash's medical expenses had raised nearly $135,000 by Tuesday. A goal of $50,000 had been set.

We here at Journal de la Reyna wish a speedy recovery for Steve Utash and David Harris.

Another black eye for America's motor city!

Reverend Perm Was An FBI Informant!

The 80s Rev. Perm was a FBI snitch.

Looks like Bryan "Birdman" Williams better watch what he says to Rev. Perm. The controversy surrounding the Smoking Gun releasing declassifed files about the liberal agitator. He was a former FBI informant, current chief of the National Action Network and host of MSNBC program PoliticsNation/

Not saying that being on the side of the law is a bad thing. But when you're a bombastic agitator who profits off rage, you're always going to take fire (especially around your critics).

The Smoking Gun unearthed some damning things about the MSNBC agitator when he was the big guy in a track suit and the huge perm.

Sharpton said in 1988 that he informed for the government in order stem the flow of crack cocaine into black neighborhoods. He denied informing on civil rights leaders.

In 2002, HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel aired a 19-year-old FBI videotape of an undercover sting operation showing Sharpton with an undercover FBI agent posing as a Latin American businessman and a reputed Colombo crime family captain.

During the discussion, the undercover agent offered Sharpton a 10% commission for arranging drug sales. On the videotape, Sharpton mostly nods and allows the FBI agent to do most of the talking. No drug deal was ever consummated, and no charges were brought against Sharpton as a result of the tape.

In April 2014, The Smoking Gun obtained documents indicating that Sharpton became an FBI informant in 1983 following Sharpton's role in a drug sting involving Colombo crime family captain Michael Franzese. Sharpton allegedly recorded incriminating conversations with Genovese and Gambino family mobsters, contributing to the indictments of several underworld figures. Sharpton is referred to in FBI documents as "CI-7."
Liberal agitator is a huge supporter of President Barack Obama. The controversial agitator is trying to change the subject after The Smoking Gun unearthed FBI files of him being a snitch.
Sharpton disputes portions of the allegations.

Summarizing the evidence supporting that Sharpton was an active FBI informant in the 1980s, William Bastone, the Smoking Gun’s founder, stated: “If he (Sharpton) didn’t think he was an informant, the ‘Genovese squad’ of the FBI and NYPD officials sure knew him to be an informant. He was paid to be an informant, he carried a briefcase with a recording device in it, and he made surreptitious tape recordings of a Gambino crime family member 10 separate times as an informant. He did it at the direction of the FBI, he was prepped by the FBI, was handed the briefcase by the FBI and was debriefed after the meetings. That’s an informant.”

The old saying: Snitches get stitches will haunt the agitator for the remaining of his life.

Here's That Guy Who Helped Obama Win taking glee in this.

GOP Congressman Caught Cheating On His Wife!

My personal business is none of your business! - Congressman Vance McAllister (R-LA). The Republican lawmaker rather be in the business of the president and those who aren't as privileged as he is.

The junk food media is abuzz about the controversy with Tea Party Republican lawmaker Vance McAllister of Louisiana. The staunchly conservative lawmaker is caught fondling and kissing on a woman that's not his wife.

Earlier this year, the lawmaker brought a member of the Duck Dynasty clan to the State of The Union Address to insult the LGBT community and President Barack Obama.

McAllister represents the Louisiana's 5th congressional district. A resident of Swartz in Ouachita Parish in northeastern Louisiana, McAllister has a background in business and the military. He won a special runoff election held on November 16, 2013, for the seat vacated by fellow Republican Rodney Alexander. He defeated State Senator Neil Riser of Columbia in Caldwell Parish, who was the choice of much of the state's Republican leadership.

According to the office of Louisiana Secretary of State Tom Schedler in Baton Rouge, McAllister defeated Riser, 54,449 (59.7 percent) to 36,837 (40.3 percent), with all 981 precincts reporting.

On April 7, 2014, The Ouachita Citizen newspaper of West Monroe, published by Sam Hanna, Jr., posted online a copy of a surveillance video from an anonymous source which shows McAllister kissing a woman in his Monroe district office.

According to the news source, the video was recorded in McAllister's Monroe congressional office on December 23, 2013, five weeks after his election to Congress. McAllister is shown turning off the lights and then kissing a woman for approximately thirty seconds.

The newspaper identified the woman as Melissa Anne Hixon Peacock (born c. 1981), his district scheduler from Sterlington, previously a cosmetologist. Peacock contributed $5,200 to McAllister's campaign in 2013.

Her husband is Heath Peacock (born c. 1980), who also contributed $5,200 to McAllister's campaign.

Heath Peacock was reared three miles from McAllister in West Carroll Parish and both graduated from Forest High School but six years apart. He worked with McAllister for more than sixteen years at Mustang Engineering.

"There’s no doubt I've fallen short and I'm asking for forgiveness. I’m asking for forgiveness from God, my wife, my kids, my staff, and my constituents who elected me to serve." McAllister said in a statement.

Chief of staff Adam Terry said that Peacock was removed from the payroll during the past twenty-four hours. Former opponent Neil Riser said, "I think right now we should be mindful and sensitive to the families who are involved.”

McAllister and his wife, Kelly were married in 1997 and they raised five children.

McAllister is a member of the North Monroe Baptist Church. He describes his decision to run for Congress as a "prayerful one. Many people make light of my spiritual faith, but that is okay with me.

I know the blessing that I have received from the good Lord and the inner peace that comes from being a believer. ... I knew there were a number of qualified people in the district to be congressman, but also I realized that I had the time and the financial capability ... that maybe [the others] didn't."

Seems like the freshman Congressman should have watched how Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) handles a "scandal". This is a textbook case of being caught on camera in the wrong place.

His own staffer betrayed him.

McAllister betrayed his wife, his longtime friend (the husband of the woman he was kissing) and his children.

But since he's a Republican (i.e. Mark Sanford), this is nothing. According to Republicans, we need to focus on Bill Clinton cheating! Because in their minds, he's biggest cheater of them all.

After all he's not running for president anymore. His wife could be!

The NY Post Calling Jay And Bey Racist!

If Jay-Z and Beyonce were racist, why would they allow two White women sit near them at the Barclay's court side?

A few years ago, the News Corp tabloid had a writer attack the media mogul's decision to become part owner of the NBA Nets. That move would carry the NBA team from New Jersey to Brooklyn.

The writer called the media mogul's decision to have a NBA team, a recipe for disaster.

He even referred the team to the New York NIGGERS.

This writer Phil Mushnick would say that:

As long as the Nets are allowing Jay-Z to call their marketing shots — what a shock that he chose black and white as the new team colors to stress, as the Nets explained, their new “urban” home — why not have him apply the full Jay-Z treatment?

Why the Brooklyn Nets when they can be the New York N------s? The cheerleaders could be the Brooklyn B----hes or Hoes. Team logo? A 9 mm with hollow-tip shell casings strewn beneath. Wanna be Jay-Z hip? Then go all the way!

Yeah many felt that the Post went too far in their criticism.

Now Barack and Michelle Obama are good friends with the Carters.
Trash talker Loudmouth Bill Cunningham hosts a syndicated program in New York on many CW affiliates. He also takes time to visit his hometown of Cincinnati to do his radio program in the afternoons and Sunday nights.

Mr. and Mrs. Shawn Carter are professionally known as Jay-Z and Beyonce.

Now the racist right (ahem) are fired up over a pendent that the media mogul wore while he and his wife were at the Brooklyn Nets game.

I happen to click on That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall's website and it lead me to the New York Post article.

In this tabloid piece, the pendent represents the Five Percenters.

Jay-Z’s bling from ‘whites are devils’ group



Black people are the fathers and mothers of civilization, white men are the devil, the Christian god is nothing more than a ghost and only a small percentage of people understand the world.

These are just some of the ­beliefs behind the bling — the gaudy Five Percent Nation ­medallions worn by Jay-Z and Carmelo Anthony.

Last week, all eyes at the Barclays Center weren’t on Jay-Z’s better half, Beyoncé — but on the coaster-size golden pendant swinging from the rapper’s neck as the couple sat courtside. Asked once if the group’s symbol — an eight-pointed star with the number 7 in the middle — held any meaning for him, the rapper shrugged, “A little bit.”

So what exactly do Five Percenters believe?

“The rationale is that the black man is God and created the universe, and is physically stronger and intellectually stronger and more righteous naturally,” says Michael Muhammad Knight, an author of two books on the radical group.

“Whiteness is weak and wicked and inferior — basically just an errant child who needs to be corrected.”

The group was founded in 1964 in Harlem by Clarence Smith, who later changed his name to Allah, a former student of Malcolm X who disagreed with the Nation of Islam over the nature of God.

Smith rejected the notion of a supernatural deity and instead believed that all black men had God in them and that black women were “earths” who took on a complementary yet subordinate role to their gods.

The idea is empowering, Knight says.
This guy bitching again about Black entertainers.
“Anytime someone is saying you have to accept your conditions of oppression and slavery and pray to an unseen god — that kind of god is just being used to keep people down and to keep people from looking to themselves as a solution to their problems,” he notes. “If there is a problem, no one will fix it for you, except yourself.”

Five Percenters don’t consider themselves Muslim, but their name comes from the Nation of Islam’s belief that 5 percent of humanity are “poor righteous teachers” who exist to enlighten the masses about the truth of existence.

Members will sometimes refer to themselves as “scientists” to drive home the search for truth. And they face a tall task, because under their belief system, 10 percent of the world’s population controls the other 85 percent by spreading the belief in a “mystery God.”

To show followers the way, members must learn the Supreme Mathematics and Supreme Alphabet — powerful tools to decipher the meaning of the universe. In both, each letter and number represents a concept: for example, 1 is knowledge, 2 is wisdom, while A is Allah and B is be, or born. The number 7 on Jay-Z’s pendant stands for God.

The prince of race-baiting.
Caucasians, meanwhile, don’t enjoy an exalted status in the narrative of the Five Percenters.

“The first lesson I learned from the Five Percent was simple: F–k white people. Seriously. White people are devils,” Knight, 36, who is white and converted to ­Islam as a teenager, once wrote.

He insisted the movement has been welcoming and that he views the controversial sentiment as a statement about power rather than biology.

“For me, it is about who is marked as privileged in the power relations of this society,” he says.

Some followers take exception to those who transform their flag into a fashion accessory.

“Jay-Z is not an active member — no one has vouched for him” Saladin Allah, a representative of the group’s upstate region, told The Post. “It was always understood that you don’t wear the ­regalia if you don’t totally subscribe to the life.”

Now of course the racist right starts on Sunday nights with Loudmouth Bill Cunningham. He was the first conservative agitator to mention this. Then of course, I am guessing King Hippo was the next one. I happened to sleep through his show.

Lastly, the most annoying of them all. That Guy Who Helped Obama Win (aka That Punk Ass Sean Hannity) is devoting a whole segment of his program to this.

Wow, if I didn't know better, I think these guys are pissed!

Yeah, Barack Obama won reelection on the power of hip-hop. Jay-Z is a product of this. He openly endorsed the president for reelection and encouraged his stans to vote.

The racist right have been really bitter about this. So they've devoted their time trashing him and Beyonce at every whim.

Again, why should we give the racist right any credence?

Can't Help The Dumb...

"Never again," says the perennial loser Mitt Romney about his potential third run for president.

If that foolish perennial loser Mitt Romney runs again for president, then I can assure you that the Republican Party is doomed.

Although there's no way that loser will run again for the embarrassment, the possibility could occur given that the Republicans have an even weaker field of contenders.

Yes, they're even a worse crop of candidates running for the Republican nomination. There's nothing great or fantastic about the current speculators.

Then of course, you have their toy, Dr. Benjamin Carson. There's a radio ad telling you to runbenrun

You would think if the possibility of running the flipper back in a race would be a joke.

According to The Raw Story, our friends over at Loserville would consider him a potential candidate for president.

After a few set appearances post election, the people are assuming again that the former nominee would throw his hat in the ring again.

Great.

I am guessing the Democrats are trembling in their boots!

Only in America.
