Nigeria To Global Powers: Save Our Young Girls!

Nigerian authorities and the Western authorities are trying to find missing schoolgirls kidnapped by extremists.

The United States intelligence is working with Nigerian authorities to rescue schoolgirls who were kidnapped by the Boko Haram militants. This militant far right group are lslamic extremists. They're threatening to sell the young women into sex slavery (forced marriages).

276 female students were kidnapped from the Government Secondary School in the town of Chibok in Borno State, Nigeria. The kidnappings were claimed by Boko Haram, an Islamic Jihadist and Takfiri terrorist organisation based in northeast Nigeria.

The Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Nigeria. They broke into the school, shooting the guards.

A large number of students were taken away in trucks, possibly into the Sambisa Forest. Houses in Chibok were also burnt down in the incident.

The school had been closed for four weeks prior to the attack due to the deteriorating security situation, but students from multiple schools had been called in to take final exams in physics.

Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau claimed responsibility for the kidnappings emerged. On the video, he claimed "God instructed me to sell them ... I will carry out his instructions."

He said the girls should not have been in the school and instead have gotten married. It was unclear if the video was made before or after reports emerged that some of the victims had been sold.

What a heartless bastard. I hope the Nigerian government get a hold of those responsible. I hope that justice is swift and quick.

Abubakar Shekau (center) is placed on the United States most wanted terrorists list.

This is the stuff you hardly hear about on Loserville. This started get major attention after Human Rights Watch made note of the media blackout over this.

Instead of talking about Benghazi, how about Republicans talk about sex slavery and human trafficking.

Nigeria's president Goodluck Jonathan popularity is waning after this event. Many families are frustrated with the lack of response from law enforcement.

Interpol, the FBI, the CIA and British intelligence are working diligently to save the women from death.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences and prayers to those affected by this horrible tragedy.

We Will Survive The Challenges Ahead!

Ohio Republican governor John Kasich cheers on the Cleveland kidnapping survivors, Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight (now Lily Rose Lee).

Michelle Knight, Gina DeJesus and Amanda Berry had overcome the odds.

A year ago in Cleveland on a quiet street, the yells of a young woman. Local neighbors were startled by a young woman and her child pleading for them to call the police. The young woman would tell the tales of being held captive in the house and tells the world that she's Amanda Berry.

Amanda Berry was kidnapped in 2003. She was leaving her job at Burger King when out of nowhere she would disappear. Her disappearance sparked national coverage.

She would tell the neighbors that two other women were in the home of this crazy man named Ariel Castro.

The other women were Michelle Knight, a young mother who ran away and Gina DeJesus, then a teenager who was walking home from school and was abducted in 2004.

Three women were held captive in a Cleveland area home. They spent nearly a decade in an old Seymour Avenue home being enslaved by Castro.

Castro, a former school bus driver and local musician held these women against their will. He would torture them, rape them and cause them miscarriages.

Castro would rape Amanda and father a child by her. He would beat Gina and Michelle when they couldn't bore his children. They would sit in a separate room in a well secured home.

Castro was a divorced father of four. He divorced his wife after he abused her. According to the law, Castro would have a sexual fetish. The man would troll the stroll for hookers and occasionally meet women on social networks. Castro feared rejection.

Castro groomed a distraught Michelle after she lost custody of her son. She would be the first victim of the horrors.

On May 6, Castro and his brothers would leave to take care of an errand. Amanda would find a portion of his home that had a broken door. She would use that broken door to escape.

Cleveland Police, the FBI and Cuyahoga County Sheriff would gather around the Seymour Avenue home grabbing evidence and reveal to the junk food media about this home being a "place of horrors".

Deep inside Castro's home was hidden rooms. Those hidden rooms and his basement were padlocked.

Castro's four grown children would be advised not to stroll around his home too much. He would regularly attend church, have relationships with women and troll for hookers. When he was done, he would go back home and have his three.

Castro's arrest ended the horror. When interviewed by the law, he would tell them that he "let his guard down" and he was thankful for allowing the law to catch him. When he was to go to trial, he wanted to plea not guilty knowing that if he was found guilty he would be given the gas chamber. So he copped a plea. That plea meant for him to give up his home, his assets would go to the victims, he would have no contact with his family or the victims, and he would spend the rest of his life in the iron college with no parole.

He took the deal. And off he goes to Orient Lockup. After a few months in the iron college, Castro would hang himself. The law knew he was suicidal, but somehow two correction guards got the pinkslip after Castro put the blankets around a bar and let his neck slide between them.

As a year passes by, I've read that the three women were award a victim's compensation and are trying to adjust to their lives.

They still live in the Cleveland area. Michelle Knight, 33 year old has distanced herself from the events. She no longer talks to Amanda Berry or Gina DeJesus. She would change her name to Lily Rose Lee, got tattooed and pierced. She reunited with her family and her son. She is attending a cooking school.

Gina DeJesus, 24 and Amanda Berry, 27 are going to be Washington, DC this week to meet with the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children. They will accept an award for their bravery and speak to national speakers including Elizabeth Smart, a survivor of a kidnapping in the 1990s.

Amanda and Michelle are mothers of children.

We here at Journal de la Reyna wish those three young women the very best. Personally, I wish each woman well. They've survived a madman's horror. They are truly loved and blessed.

We love you Michelle (Lily), Amanda and Gina! We hope that you can move forward in your lives.

Target Fires CEO!

After today, the Target store in Trotwood, Ohio will officially close.

It's ironic that I happened to travel through the ghost town today. The local Target store today was boarding up its doors and it was taking down its sign. People were still inside shopping and some were exiting.

Target announced in December that they were closing up the store. Many residents were furious that the last national retail/grocer store is bailing out on the city.

That "ghost town" is Trotwood, Ohio, an inner suburb of Dayton has a terrible legacy. The city annexed most of the rural Madison Township in 1997 and became a city. When that occurred, the Ohio State Route 49 realigned from the formerly busy Salem Avenue to the outskirts of west Dayton.

Trotwood had a whole lot of anchor stores and businesses around the Salem Mall. Then all of sudden, the anchor stores to the mall close up shop and gradually it lead to the downfall of the once thriving community.

Now Trotwood and Middletown, Ohio are some of the cities scheduled to lose Target stores.

After desperate pleas from residents and city leaders, the megastore is closing up shop at least in these communities. They claim that sales at the Target stores were low and the best thing for the company to do is close up shop. Of course you can visit Huber Heights, Sugarcreek Township, Miami Township, Beavercreek and Springfield's locations. If you have to travel by bus, I guess it's an hour and half ride.

For a drive it's about 35 -60 minutes to each location respectively. Losing Target signals that most of the companies in the area are looking to drop Dayton for investments.

This is a major restructuring for the company. Last year the company suffered some negative publicity after it was revealed that hackers got into the company's website and stole credit card information from shoppers.

Target fires CEO.

Target was investigating a major data breach "potentially involving millions of customer credit and debit card records." The report quickly spread across news channels. On December 19, Target confirmed the incident via a press release, revealing that the hack took place between November 27 and December 15, 2013.

Target warned that up to 40 million consumer credit and debit cards may have been compromised. Hackers gained access to customer names, card numbers, expiration dates, and CVV security codes of the cards issued by financial institutions. On December 27 Target disclosed that debit card PIN data had also been stolen, albeit in encrypted form, reversing an earlier stance that PIN data was not part of the breach. Target noted that the accessed PIN numbers were encrypted using Triple DES and has stated the PINs remain "safe and secure" due to the encryption.

On January 10, 2014, Target disclosed that the names, mailing addresses, phone numbers or email addresses of up to 70 million additional people had also been stolen, bringing the possible number of customers affected up to 110 million.

Now all of sudden, the company is planning on releasing its CEO/president Gregg Steinhafel.

He has been the company's president since 1999, and has been with the company since 1979.

He became Chief Executive Officer in 2008.

He resigned on May 5th, 2014 due to the fallout from a massive consumer data breach in December 2013.

He will take a severance package $55 million on his way out.

Target's public stock took a nosedive after the announcement came forth.

Benghazi: The Never Ending Story!

South Carolina politico Trey Gowdy (R-SC) will be the lead in the investigation of Benghazi.

When the Republicans are talking about jobs, they're actually meaning "save" their jobs!

Vance McAllister, Michael Grimm, and Trey Radel are under fire. These Republicans done so much damage to the party. But these issues will be ignored for the most ridiculous issues in America.

For example, did you know it cost millions of dollars for an investigation?

This unprecedented amount of money being wasted on a tragedy that occurred nearly two years ago merits a response. The reason for this response is the constant theatrics created by those Republicans in the House.

They know there's no more evidence in this case. But since the Tea Party (far right/racist right) is obsessed with this nonsense, they'll be more committees and witch hunts against President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

House Weeper John Boehner (R-OH) proposed a committee chair for this investigation into Benghazi. He appointed the far right politico Trey Gowdy (R-SC) as the chair.

Benghazi U.S. Consulate attack on September 11, 2012 killed four Americans.

Okay on September 11, 2012, the Middle East was upset over an American video that surfaced on the social networks depicting the Prophet Mohammad in a negative light.

The Innocence of Muslims was an anti-Islamic movie and it caused demonstrations and violent protests against the video to break out on September 11 in Egypt and spread to other Arab and Muslim nations and to some western countries. The protests have led to hundreds of injuries and over 50 deaths

"The trailer opens with scenes of Egyptian security forces standing idle as Muslims pillage and burn the homes of Egyptian Christians. Then it cuts to cartoonish scenes depicting the Prophet Muhammad as a child of uncertain parentage, a buffoon, a womanizer, a homosexual, a child molester and a greedy, bloodthirsty thug."

Obtained by Wikipedia, the situation turned into a deadly even in Libya. The attack in Benghazi, Libya, started when heavily armed attackers killed the U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans on September 11.

President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and members of his administration were at Andrews Air Force Base to pay their respects to the four Americans who were killed in Libya. Then secretary of state Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, then UN Ambassador now National Security Adviser were in attendance.

Some U.S. officials, speaking under anonymity, said that they believed the Benghazi attack was coordinated and planned in advance, and not prompted by the film.

Al-Qaeda has indicated responsibility and said it was in revenge for a U.S. drone strike which killed Libyan Abu Yahya al-Libi, an al-Qaeda leader.

The role of the video in motivating the attack quickly became an ongoing dispute in the American political arena. Numerous eyewitnesses reported that the attackers said they were motivated by the video.

The Benghazi investigation is on. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC).

Though Libyan officials initially stated that hundreds of protesters had been present before the attack, later investigations by the U.S. government concluded that no protest took place prior to the attack.

These investigations indicate that the notion of Benghazi protests originated from within the intelligence community and the Central Intelligence Agency due to the concurrent worldwide violence and protests resulting from the film Innocence of Muslims.

Subsequent investigations by the U.S. State Department; by the House of Representatives committees on Armed Services, Foreign Affairs, Intelligence, the Judiciary, and Oversight and Government Reform; and by the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence determined that there was no protest and that the attack was a planned terrorist attack launched by Islamist militants. These investigations indicate that the notion of Benghazi protests originated from within the intelligence community and the Central Intelligence Agency due to the concurrent worldwide violence and protests resulting from the film Innocence of Muslims.

I am for one tired of hearing about Benghazi. This event didn't occur in the United States. The CIA screwed up on the talking points. September 11, 2001 was probably way more worse than Benghazi. They are still trying to figure answers to why this event happened on American soil.

Republicans can't seem to let Obamacare, Benghazi and the president is....whatever go!

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney and National Security Adviser Susan Rice.

The Democrats to win the House of Representatives is a long shot. This should be easy. I mean Congress has a record low job approval under the weeper. The weeper knows that his days as leader are numbered.

The potential for a Democratic sweep is unlikely because of those dumbass Republican governors and state lawmakers who gerrymandered districts to make it totally harder for Democrats to pickup seats. You have to be as crazy as a Republican now to win.

Democrats have a plan but no action. They can talk about how Republicans wasted millions by shutting down the government, repealing a law that's been in effect for over four years, blocking minimum wage, blocking equal pay for women, blocking immigration reform, and these stupid committees on nothing and still get ignored by the junk food media.

Which Side Are Conservatives On?

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) is the most ineffective leader ever. The Ohio lawmaker has been the head of the House of Representatives for quite some time now. But as leader of the House, the Republicans have been undermining President Barack Obama at every turn.

Now all of sudden, it seems like the Speaker of House has pissed off his conservative allies.

He is expected to win this week with the May primaries. But has Ohio and practically the rest of the nation had enough of the tear-jerker?

On That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall's website, it screenshots the weeper and it says it's mocking his fellow colleagues on immigration reform. He was in Liberty Township a few weeks ago and he was jokingly mocking some in the Tea Party about their refusal to do immigration reform and a raise in the minimum wage.

Yeah, the minimum wage and immigration debates are very important. But to the Republicans, its just another attempt for the Democrats to save grace in the wake of another thumping.

Obama wins the election. Conservatives call it an epic disaster.

Orange is the new Black.

Obama speaks on the arrest of Henry "Skip" Gates. Conservatives say that Obama hates the cops.

Obama speaks to high school students. Conservatives call it indoctrination.

Obama goes on vacations and golf outings. Conservatives call it grandiose spending.

Obama says about Trayvon Martin could have been one of his sons. Conservatives are now trying to link every Black criminal to the deceased teen.

Obama does executive orders. Conservatives call him a dictator.

Obama signs the law to allow all Americans access to healthcare. Conservatives bully the Republicans to repeal the law 50 times.

Representatives Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Jason Chaffettz (R-UT).

They praise foreign leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin over President Barack Obama.

Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi.... Over and over again. No smoking gun in the situation in Libya but yet the Republicans and their conservative (racist right) allies are double down on this instead of jobs in America.

Again they're so fixated on this. But we can't talk about the massive attack on American soil on September 11, 2001. The failed policies that lead up to the attacks on New York, Washington DC and Pennsylvania.

Oh, but what difference does it make? Nearly 3,000 lives to four. And yet, George W. Bush never was impeached, attacked by the victim's families on his negligence.

This week bores another waste of taxpayer dollars. The Republicans are expected to vote on a select committee into the issue with Benghazi.

Judicial Watch, a conservative legal group obtained documents through the Freedom Of Information Act claiming that the White House withheld information. Based on the documents they claim that the talking points about a "spontaneous" protest actually being a terrorist attack.

California Republican Darrell Issa has ordered Secretary of State John Kerry to appear in Washington.

Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and John McCain (R-AZ).

Republicans, understand something. While Benghazi was a horrible tragedy it didn't amount to the epic disasters on American soil.

Hurricane Katrina, September 11, 2001 were the most epic disasters ever.

Superstorm Sandy would only top that. President Barack Obama was prepared.

Yeah, Lindsey Graham, John McCain and Darrell Issa. You guys been on GOP Sundays along with the weeper bitching constantly about how Obama, could of, would of, and should of done.

But here's the problem with you guys. At least President Obama isn't hyping up for war like you warturkeys!

Boehner, you suck as a lawmaker. I can testify for it. For I once was a part of your congressional district and believe me I wish there was someone better than the Orange.

Pharrell's "Happy" Ended The Life Of A North Carolina Woman!

Courtney Sandford lost her life after posting on social networks. She was involved in a car accident on her way to work. Her friends and family blame her careless use of the phone for her tragic death.

A woman on her way to work was on her phone posting on the social networks when she crashed into a recycling truck near High Point, North Carolina.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family at Courtney Sandford.

Her friends tell the law that she was posting on Facebook about the time she would lose control of her vehicle and cross the median. By crossing the median, she struck the truck and was killed instantly.

The woman posted on the social networking site that she was listening to "Happy", the smash hit from entertainer Pharrell Williams.

Well it turns tragic and the North Carolina police are investigating why should didn't watch what she was doing before the crash.

Courtney Sandford was a 32 year old woman with a vibrant life. It was a horrible tragedy that could have been adverted says the law.

The Closer Online reports that she was on a stretch of Business Interstate 85 around the rush hour. Courtney posted a tweet reading: ‘The happy song makes me HAPPY!’ According to authorities, the tweet was posted at 8.33am and the first 911 call was just a minute later.

Courtney was wearing a seatbelt, but police have said that it wasn’t fastened properly.

Sadly, the timing of the tweet along with a series of selfies taken by the victim revealed that she was using her phone whilst driving.

Entertainer Pharrell Williams is the producer of mega hits like his single Happy. The entertainer is a producer, business mogul, rocker, rapper and avid skateboarder. The entertainer produced hits for Jay-Z, Lil' Wayne, Ludacris, T.I., Brittney Spears, Rick Ross, Snoop Dogg and Pusha T.

We're in the digital age.

About 90% of American citizens own and operate a cell phone. The land line phone is on the decline and most Americans are now getting all their needs through their phone.

And with the phone comes the responsibility. Smartphone theft is on the rise and people are losing their lives over this. The companies and software developers are working to prevent this from happening. They are creating freeware and anti-theft tools to keep track of a stolen phone.

States are passing stricter laws that fine, vehicle operators who are on the road while on the phone.

I admit that I often do a lot of texting on the phone while operating a vehicle. That is extremely dangerous.

Many Americans lost their lives on the highways because of a five second text or a phone conversation.

You don't get an opportunity to avoid a hazard when you're arguing with a friend or family member.

You crash into a vehicle. Either you kill someone or you're the one!

We all must use common sense when using a cellphone!

Pharrell Williams is an American singer-songwriter, rapper, record producer, musician, and fashion designer. Williams and Chad Hugo make up the record production duo The Neptunes, producing soul, hip hop and R&B music.

will.i.am Appears On GOP Sundays!

Mega producer will.i.am makes a debut on Meet The Press.

What's more hipper than adding an entertainer who produced one of the most successful hip-hop/pop albums in history?

I must have missed this. The Black Eye Peas frontman will.i.am managed to secure a spot on GOP Sundays.

I mean this is one for the record books. I mean never in my day has an entertainer who has ties to the hip-hop community be a feature on GOP Sundays. Something is going wrong over at NBC News.

will.i.am is an avid supporter of President Barack Obama. He was the co-writer and feature of the "Yes We Can" video that sponsored endorsement of Obama in 2008.

Obviously the racist right wasn't happy about an entertainer talking about politics. Especially an entertainer who helped Obama win twice.

Brought to you by Carls Jr. and Brawndo RT @emzanotti Will. I. Am. Is on Meet the Press. We are officially the worst society ever.
— David Burge (@iowahawkblog) May 4, 2014

The entertainer was there to talk about his charity, the White House Correspondence Dinner, the president job approval and the Republican obsession with Benghazi.

My question to the people on Twitter: If you're so upset over will.i.am being on Meet The Press, how about you change the channel?

Isn't the entertainer an American too?

Do you believe just because he's a hip-hop producer, you believe he'll be on Meet The Press talking about being a "gangsta" and saying "NIGGA"?

For those who aren't familiar, will.i.am does follow the news. Is it because he's an entertainer? Or he's Black?

I mean you gotta admit, its better than see Rev. Perm on. Or that douche bag George Will. Ma even chickenshit Bill Kristol

Wondering when the ax will fall on the embattled Sunday NBC news host. The controversial host have been long targeted as a the potential downfall of news programs. Every Sunday morning before I head to my two jobs, I often turn on the Sunday morning political news programs to find out the outlook of Washington.

Every Sunday either on NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox is an old White person with an "R" next to his name.

David Gregory, the host of Meet The Press is facing a tough year. Bob Schieffer over at CBS is gaining on him. George Stephanopoulos and the smirking chimp Chris Wallace gotten better as well. NBC executives are warning Gregory that if he doesn't change the direction of the show, he's out!

One thing I would love to tell David Gregory is basically stop giving more airtime to Republicans who are perennial agitators. The fool allows Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Marco Rubio, Tim Scott, Darrell Issa, Michele Bachmann, Peter King, John McCain, Mike Rogers, Paul Ryan, and Lindsey Graham on to make complete assholes of themselves.

Pretty much politcos with limited accomplishments in office get more airtime than an accomplished politico.

There's not many of color on those programs. There's not many women on the programs.

Norah O'Donnell is looking to take Schieffer's spot when he eventually retires. CBS is gambling on her like ABC did when they've hired CNN anchor Christine Amanpour.

will.i.am appears on Interscope Records and will.i.am Music Group.
Black Eyes Peas appears on Interscope.
