The Racist Right Already Attacking Loretta Lynch!

These women are named Loretta Lynch. Guess which one is being nominated for U.S. Attorney General? Which one will the racist right attack the most?

In their latest attempt to find some either racially bias or politically bias attack on the nominee for U.S. Attorney General, the dumbasses at Breitfart have tried to dig up dirt on Loretta Lynch.

How much dirt?

Dirty straight out of the 1990s.

But according to Media Matters for America, they already got the story wrong before it left the gate.

Breitfart.com added corrections to the articles that confused the two attorneys, noting at bottom that "[t]he Loretta Lynch identified earlier as the Whitewater attorney was, in fact, a different attorney."

Later on November 9, Breitbart.com removed the article by Warner Todd Huston.

Members of the conservative media are attempting to scandalize President Obama's Attorney General nominee Loretta Lynch by suggesting she was involved in the Whitewater investigations of the 1990s. However, the Loretta Lynch that played a bit role in Whitewater -- an investigation into fraudulent real estate deals that did not include any wrongdoing by the Clintons -- is a different person than Obama's attorney general nominee.

According to a November 8 Breitfart.com article by Warner Todd Huston, "few are talking about" the fact nominee Lynch "was part of Bill Clinton's Whitewater probe defense team in 1992." Huston pointed to a March 1992 New York Times article that "reported that Lynch was one of the Clintons' Whitewater defense attorneys as well as a 'campaign aide.'" And in a November 9 article Huston's colleague, Breitfart.com Senior Editor-at Large Joel Pollak wrote, "The connection to Whitewater ought to provide additional fodder for Republicans during Lynch's confirmation hearings":

Here's the posting from the Huffington Post.

The racist right begins their smear campaign against Loretta Lynch, the nominee for Attorney General.
Now you tell me. For the first African American woman to be the head of Department of Justice if confirmed, why on earth would these agitators and politicos smear her?

Already, the designate for Majority Leader, Kentucky Republican senator Mitch McConnell warned the president to not have this nominee confirmed until the new Senate comes to session.

Loretta Elizabeth Lynch (born May 21, 1959) is the current United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. She has served her current tenure as U.S. Attorney since 2010, having previously held the position from 1999-2001. As U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Lynch oversees federal prosecutions in Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and Long Island.

On November 8, 2014, President Barack Obama nominated her to succeed Eric Holder as the next Attorney General of the United States.

This already marking the lines drawn between a "Do Nothing Congress" and a "Lame Duck President".

Ja Rule: I Admit 50 [Cent] Tore My A** Up!

Clearance bin rappers 50 Cent and Ja Rule posed together last year. The feud over, right? Ja reflects on it.

Ja Rule comes out of the cesspool to reignite the infamous feud between him and Curtis Jackson (aka 50 Cent, the leader of the Unit). This marks over 10 years since the hip-hop stans got to know how much Ja and 50 hate each other.

Ja Rule comes clean about his feud with 50 Cent. Although he's no longer worried about his sworn enemy, the entertainer might as well start it all over again. He wants to air out how this little feud started.

This a well-publicized dispute started with 50 Cent claiming that a friend robbed Ja Rule of his jewelry and that Ja Rule accused him of setting it up.

However, Ja Rule claimed the conflict stemmed from a video shoot in Queens because 50 did not like seeing him "getting so much love" from the neighborhood.

While at The Hit Factory studio in New York, the rappers had an altercation and some of Murder Inc. associates jumped 50. He was treated for three stitches after receiving a stab wound.

Rapper Black Child claimed responsibility for the stabbing, saying he acted in self-defense because he thought someone reached for a gun.

An affidavit by an IRS agent suggested that Murder Inc. had ties to Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff, a New York drug lord who was suspected of being involved in the murder of Jam Master Jay and the shooting of 50. An excerpt of the affidavit read:

The investigation has uncovered a conspiracy involving McGriff and others to murder a rap artist who has released songs containing lyrics regarding McGriff's criminal activities. The rap artist was shot in 2000, survived and thereafter refused to cooperate with law enforcement regarding the shooting. Messages transmitted over the Murder Inc. pager indicate that McGriff is involved in an ongoing plot to kill this rap artist, and that he communicates with Murder Inc. employees concerning the target.

In an interview with MTV, Ja Rule acknowledged his defeat against 50 Cent and stated that his new album, The Mirror, will not be continuing any past feuds that he has engaged in. He said: There was a lot of things I wanted to say, and I didn't want there to be any bitter records on the album. Because I'm not bitter about anything that happened [in the past few years].

In May 2011, it was confirmed that both Ja Rule and 50 Cent squashed the feud.

Ja Rule said "I’m cool. We ain't beefing no more. We’ll never collaborate. That’s just what it is. You don’t have to be at war with somebody, but it’s also kind of like U.S. and another country that they may not get along with. We don’t gotta go to war, but we’re not friends either. But we can coincide inside of a world. He’s doing him, and he’s not thinking about me, and I’m doing me and I’m not thinking about him."

Not so fast. HipHopDX reports that Ja still talking shit. Wonder when's 50 going to respond?

In a sitdown with VladTV, the washed up rapper opens up again about this issue with 50 Cent, Ja Rule explained his side of an infamous chain snatching incident and clarified that the G-Unit founder “had nothing to do with it.”

“He’s good at what he does,” Ja Rule said of 50 Cent early in the interview. “He tells stories. I call him MC Gusto, you ever seen CB4? That’s who he is in real life to me.”

“It had nothing to do with music, Hip Hop, Rap, none of that,” Ja Rule said before admitting that he gave up the chain when a gun when pointed at him. “Of course, I said, ‘Yeah, take it.' Nigga got a gun on you. Nigga with a gun is the winner. Hands down. The guy with the gun won. ‘Take that, hold on to that.’

“Anyway, so I guess the story got back in the hood and so 50 used that as his end, to have something to say about me,” he continued. “But it had nothing to with him. I didn’t even know you know this dude. His story is, ‘I seen him with Troy out and about and I got mad at him.’ Nigga you had nothing to do with it, why would I get mad at the guy next to the guy? His stories just don’t add up, they don’t make sense. But to an outside source, looking in listening, people don’t know what to believe.”

As you know, all the players from the feuds of yesterday are now on the bottom of the clearance bin.

See what 50 Cent done to them all.

50 Cent is on the independent circuit after leaving Interscope. He announced this year that he is done with Eminem and Dr. Dre after they held his garbage in the bin too long. It started to smell.

Seriously, his songs off the now shelved album Street King Immortal weren't charting. Even with Adam Levine, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Alicia Keys, Jeezy, Kendrick Lamar and Snoop Dogg on the tracks, Mr. Iovine wasn't seeing a profit. So instead of going into the studio to muster time to make hits, 50 decided to leave the label that made him rich. He jumps onto some off-shoot of Capitol Records.

50 Cent went on this rant about how Dre and Iovine screwed him. Mostly because his Slump headphones were passed by Apple. The Beats Audio put Dre in the billionaires club and Mr. Iovine formally left Interscope a very rich and powerful man.

Those outburst forced G-Unit entirely off Interscope. That also gave 50 a chance to reunite with his disgruntled members (minus Jayceon).

The Unit got back together and released a couple of sleepers but no hits. The Unit is formed with 50, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, Young Buck and former Cash Money artist Kidd Kidd.

Jayceon (by the name of Game) is acting like a total dickhead. Still trying to work out them differences with the Unit but still dissing. Buck tried to calm the feud but no dice. Game wants Blood.

Foolish rapper was dumped from Interscope after Jesus Piece sold less than 100,000 copies. Game tried to eat with Lil' Wayne and Baby. That didn't go so well.

Now Game is flipping burgers somewhere while trying to sell his Year of the Wolf album.

Of course, 50's proven a point. Back in 2005, 50 aired out problems with Game. He said that he's putting his shit out on Koch Records. I guess he's proven a point.

Game is signed to E1 Records (formerly known as Koch). Game stated that he'll sign Ja to his Blood Money label just to piss 50 off.

Flashing Signs!

TK gifs

The consequence of not voting. Voting is extremely important for Americans. They say that your voice doesn't matter. If you supported the party that loss, then you can't be mad that you didn't vote.

The junk food media leads into stupid discussions about politicians doing unprofessional or unbecoming things around their constituents.

The racist right continues to rear its ugly head after this election. This local junk food media story from Minneapolis got attention of The Huffington Post and the Daily Kos.

TWO THINGS TO GET OFF MY CHEST.

ONE: IF YOU ARE COMMENTING ON THIS AND ANY OTHER STORY ON JOURNAL DE LA REYNA, PLEASE LEAVE A NAME AND A MESSAGE. ANY COMMENTS FROM ANONYMOUS USERS WILL BE DELETED. NO EXCEPTIONS.

TWO: IF YOU'RE NOT AWARE OF THE OUTRAGE METER BY THE CONSERVATIVES (ALSO KNOWN AS THE RACIST RIGHT), A WHITE WOMAN STANDING NEAR A BLACK MAN. THAT IS DOG WHISTLE FOR RACISTS. THEY HATE INTERRACIAL COUPLES. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS JUST A GRASSROOTS ATTEMPT TO GET PEOPLE TO VOTE. THE VERY MENTION OF A WHITE WOMAN NEAR A BLACK MAN PISSES THE WHITE EXTREMISTS OFF. THIS IS A PROGRESSIVE MAYOR WHO WANTS TO ENCOURAGE THEM KNOT HEADED BLACK FOLKS TO VOTE.

IT MAY BE PART OF THE CONDESCENDING LEFT'S ATTEMPTS TO WRANGLE BLACKS AND LATINOS OUT TO THE POLLS. BUT THIS WEEK'S REPUBLICAN VICTORY IS A CERTAIN REASON FOR AN IN-DEPTH LOOK INTO ENCOURAGING HIGHER TURNOUT.

They want to clear the air over an apparent racially motivated story created by a disgruntled law enforcement officer and a turdporter who leans conservative.

The mayor of Minneapolis, Betsy Hodges is under fire for appearing in a YouTube video in what seems to be making a "gang sign" with an ex-convict.

Hodges teamed up with the charity Neighborhoods Organizing for Change for a get-out-the-vote effort one week before Election Day. She posed with Navell Gordon, a former resident of the iron college. He got served for drug possession and illegal gun usage. He's reformed and trying to at least repay his debts to society.
He poses with the mayor and takes a picture. That got the disgruntled officer pissed. He decides to gin up a racial panic by tipping off a local turdporter who probably acts like an anchor on Loserville.

Gordon who has been advocating for ex-convicts to vote is being smeared by this disgruntled cop.

KTSP hasn't responded to the concerns but are aware that their report gave them a great deal of controversy.

While that may look like just an innocently pointed finger, to KSTP and local law enforcement, it's apparently a "known gang sign." KSTP noted it was tipped off to the photo by law enforcement sources, who said they were browsing Gordon's Facebook page while doing "investigative work."

"She's putting cops at risk," Michael Quinn, a retired law enforcement officer, said in KSTP's report. "The fact that they're flashing gang signs back and forth at each other, showing solidarity with the gangs, she's legitimizing what they're doing, she's legitimizing these people who are killing our children in Minneapolis."

John Delmonico, president of the Minneapolis Police Federation, wondered if Hughes would "support gangs in the city or cops."
Two thumbs up are a "gang sign".
Based on what police told the station, KSTP reports there's "no evidence" Gordon is in a gang but he does have "connections to gang members." KSTP reports a spokesman for Hodges told them, "The man in the photo is well regarded by the nonprofit that employs him and the mayor is simply 'pointing at him' in the photo."

KSTP reporter Jay Kolls has defended the station's interpretation of the photo, suggesting the point is actually a symbol of a local gang called the Stick Up Boys.

Kolls did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Huffington Post.

“Law enforcement sources alerted KSTP-TV to a photo they believed could jeopardize public safety and put their officers at risk, especially given the recent increase in gang violence," said Joe Johnston, director of public affairs for 5 Eyewitness News. "Multiple sources from several law enforcement agencies told 5 Eyewitness News the photo had the potential for undermining the work they are doing on the streets. 5 Eyewitness News blurred the individual’s face and did not name the group he was working for because police called into question only the judgment of Mayor Betsy Hodges.”
Mayor Betsy Hodges of Minneapolis. She is a member of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party. This political organization supports the Democratic Party.
This isn't the first time Gordon has been targeted while trying to get out the vote. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported in September that while collecting signatures for a petition to restore felons' voting rights, Gordon was tackled and handcuffed after a brief exchange with an officer, who then threatened to shoot witnesses who were protesting the incident.

The Minneapolis Police Department has been under scrutiny for a number of high-profile incidents, as well as a recent American Civil Liberties Union report that found blacks in the city are far more likely to be arrested for minor crimes than whites. While the mayor has worked to smooth over some of the department's issues, the Star-Tribune reports she has also criticized the police:

In response to the news report about Gordon and Hodges, Nekima Levy-Pounds, a law professor at the University of St. Thomas Law School and the founding director of the civil rights legal clinic Community Justice Project, penned an op-ed in the Star-Tribune titled "Dear White People: Mayor Betsy Hodges is Not in a Gang." She wrote about how she met Gordon and was impressed by his efforts to make change.

"This young man personally knocked on thousands of doors during the election season to help get out the vote and educate community residents about the impacts of felon disenfranchisement in Minnesota," Levy-Pounds wrote.

"As a young black man with a criminal history, he has experienced numerous challenges in attempting to successfully reintegrate back into society," she continued.

Here's The Replacement!

The newest scorn for Republicans. The Brooklyn federal district attorney will be nominated for U.S. Attorney by President Barack Obama. The nomination of Loretta Lynch will be a first for African American women.

Might as well get it confirmed before the insurgents join the new Republican majority.

President Barack Obama has announced the new pick for Attorney General. She's going to be the newest conservative outrage. She's a Black woman. I can hear the conservative agitators going on about this. After all, they couldn't stand Eric Holder, the current Attorney General.

Holder is the first African American to be currently holding the post of U.S. Attorney General.

Holder was the scorn of the insurgency and Republican establishment. Holder never hid his feelings towards race, the Republicans and criminals. The Republicans held Holder in contempt of Congress back in 2012 over the handling of Operation: Fast & Furious. That ongoing issue was driven by Darrell Issa, Republican representative from California.

Loretta Lynch is expected to be nominated for the position of Attorney General making her the second African-American (and the first African-American woman) to hold that position.
The president and Attorney General Eric Holder have a contentious relationship with Republicans.
CNN reports Lynch is a popular prosecutor who is in her second stint as US Attorney in New York's eastern district, appointed by President Obama in 2010 and also serving in the same post from 1999-2001 under President Bill Clinton.

White House principal deputy press secretary Eric Schultz told CNN in a statement "We don't have any personnel updates for you, and I'm certainly not going to speculate on any decisions before the President announces them."

U.S. Officials says the President's decision is not official until there is a formal announcement from the White House.

Lynch would be the second woman to serve as Attorney General and second African American to hold the post. Lynch served on the trial team that prosecuted and won convictions against New York City police officers for violating the civil rights of Abner Louima, a Haitian immigrant who police sodomized.

That experience could help at the helm at the Justice Department, which is overseeing high-profile civil rights probes including that into the Ferguson, Mo., police shooting of Michael Brown.

Lynch has quietly built a solid reputation in New York, where Preet Bharara, the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan, garners magazine covers and regular media attention for Wall Street prosecutions.

Her 2010 nomination won Senate approval on a voice vote, meaning Republicans didn't view her as controversial. In recent months, however, she has led the prosecution of Rep. Michael Grimm, a Republican congressman from Staten Island, for alleged tax fraud. Grimm won reelection this week despite being under indictment, and has called the case against him politically motivated. Current Attorney General Eric Holder announced his plans in Septenber to step down.



A Turkey In A Black Pot!

Good news at the end of a bad week for President Barack Obama.

The first job report since the Republican wave crashed to shore. The president is meeting with the lawmakers today to discuss the next years with a Republican majority. A historical first, the Republicans managed to win back Congress. They pulled in new House and Senate members giving them the largest majority since the days of Harry Truman.

Of course, the jobs reports are still coming out. Regardless this issue is a very important factor to the president's legacy. President Barack Obama, under his watch has created over 5.5 million jobs. The current jobs rate has went down. The unemployment rate has went to 5.8 percent.

October's job report said that it created 215,000 jobs which helped lower the unemployment rate.

Although good, the negatives should come forth, The underemployed. That's [employees] who work one or more jobs, those who have stagnant wages, and no movement to advancement. That's still relatively high.

The Labor Department also said a combined 31,000 more jobs were added in August and September than it had previously estimated. Employers have now added at least 200,000 jobs for nine straight months — the longest such stretch since 1995.

The burst of hiring lowered the unemployment rate to 5.8 percent from 5.9 percent. It is the lowest rate since July 2008. Yet workers' average hourly pay rose only slightly, a glaring weak spot in an otherwise solid report.

Voters identified the economy as their top concern in Tuesday's elections. That suggested that economic improvement hasn't yet been felt by many Americans. The sluggish pace of pay growth is a likely factor.

Average hourly pay rose 3 cents in October to $24.57. That's just 2 percent higher than the average wage was 12 months earlier and is barely ahead of the 1.7 percent inflation rate.

"While the labor market is improving and in many respects has already healed, employee bargaining power remains virtually nonexistent," Dan Greenhaus, an analyst at the brokerage firm BTIG LLC, said in a research note.

Still, the brightening jobs picture led more people to start looking for work last month. The percentage of Americans who either have a job or are looking for one rose in October to 62.8 percent. And 267,000 people who had been out of work said they were now employed. Their hiring reduced the number of unemployed to just under 9 million.

The job gains were broad-based, though many lower-paying industries posted especially large increases. Retailers added 27,100 jobs. Restaurants, hotels and entertainment firms gained 52,000.

Some higher-paying industries also showed progress. Manufacturers added 15,000 jobs, up from 9,000 the previous month. Transportation and shipping companies gained 13,300. And professional and business services, which includes accountants, engineers and other higher-skilled fields, added 37,000.

Analysts say the economic expansion remains strong enough to support the current pace of hiring. Over the past six months, the economy has grown at a 4.1 percent annual rate.

U.S. manufacturers are expanding at the fastest pace in three years, according to a survey by the Institute for Supply Management, a trade group. A measure of new orders showed that factory output will likely continue to grow in coming months. A separate survey by the ISM found that retailers, restaurants and other service companies grew at a healthy pace last month.

Home sales rose in September at their fastest rate this year, a sign that housing could pick up after a sluggish performance for most of this year.

Still, faltering global growth could create trouble for the U.S. economy in the months ahead. Exports fell in September, the government said this week, widening the trade deficit. That led many economists to shave their predictions of economic growth in the July-September quarter to an annual rate of 3 percent or less, down from the government's initial estimate of 3.5 percent.

Who Turned Out?

o-NY-POST-OBAMA-570
The conservative publication went through its gloating.

As the president and the Democratic Party sort through their failures, Republicans are celebrating the largest turnout to ever happen. They managed not only to retake the U.S. Senate but gained extra seats in the U.S. House. This gives them largest majority since the days of Truman.

They are hoping that they can turn out the WHITE, CONSERVATIVE, MALE and OVER 65 YEAR OLD crowd again in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election.

The conservative agitators are gloating and running around with their "WE WON" nonsense.

The racist right rag The New York Post saved the best for the president.

Again, elections have consequences. The Democratic candidates could muster a stronger message.

The Republicans have a big microphone. The junk food media (i.e. Laura Ingraham, that annoying ass conservative agitator, The New York Post, The Wall Street Journal, Sinclair Broadcasting, and his network Loserville) were instrumental to getting that BASE out.

I had to tune out liberal agitator Stephanie Miller. She and her crew were trying to make the best of that disastrous night by poking fun at Joni Ernst, the U.S. Senator elect from Iowa. The liberal agitator was calling her a "clown" and mocking her for winning.

I said that Ernst is going to extremely controversial. Nothing else. I won't resort to saying anything other than she's an insurgent backed candidate who won. We'll see if she'll work to help Iowa or show off on friendly networks such as Loserville.

Insurgent is another word for TEA PARTY. The movement purged the moderate and more mainstream Republicans from power. That's why it's called an insurgency.
