Jamal Bryant, Take Several Seats

Evidently, Jamal Bryant is being called the leader of a protest that happened this morning, in Baltimore, that closed entrance/exit ramp to/from I-95 and I-395. He said it was done as a protest against funding of a juvenile prison while "not funding" schools.

One more time in case you missed it.

Gov. Hogan has increased school funding. What didn't get funded was the OPTIONAL geographic based school funding. Bryant is whining about this, but I think he was silent when, for years, O'Malley didn't provide that same funding,

Here's more on the juvenile prison funding. GUESS WHO PUT THAT IN PLACE, ORIGINALLY?

Yes. Martin O'Malley!

I'm saying it right now. Jamal Bryant is just trying to get media face time.

Period.

Iggy Azalea Haters, Take Several Back Seats!

I don't know Iggy Azalea from the reptile -- wait for it ‪#‎DryHumor‬ -- but I think her critics need to close their mouths, sit down, and take the back seat.

Rap went WORLD WIIIIIIIIDDDDDDEEEEEEE and when you have "the children" of the original hip hop and rap, producing the GAR-BAGHE, they are producing, now, what do you expect?

So I'm sorry -- ‪#‎NotSorry‬ -- but everyone saying "cultural appropriation!" can forget that. I'm not claiming that trash called rap today as part of My Black History and Black culture!

Things Many Public Conservatives, Including Black, Don't Want You To Know

I'm tired. So, here are some things that many public conservatives, including public Black conservatives, do not want you to know:

• Blacks don't consider Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, Sr., to be leaders:
  

  8. Which of the following speaks for you most often?

  Person	Percent (%)
  Reverend Al Sharpton,National Action Network	24
  Reverend Jesse Jackson, Rainbow PUSH Coalition	11
  Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D‐CA)	9
  Benjamin Jealous, President&CEO,NAACP	8
  AssistantDemocratic Leader, Congressman James E. Clyburn (D‐SC)	5
  MarcH. Morial, President & CEO, National Urban League	2
  Michael Steele,former Chairman ofthe Republican National Committee	2
  None of the above	40

• A quote from Tim Scott
  

  And unlike other, more prominent black Republicans — Herman Cain or Ben Carson, for example — Scott isn’t likely to accuse black voters of being enslaved to the Democratic Party.

  “That language doesn’t suit me,” Scott says. “It’s really hard to offend someone into changing their minds.”

• Black business creation 2009:
  

  African-Americans and older Americans experience greatest increases in business-creation rates from 2008 to 2009

  ...

  Entrepreneurship rates by race show that African-Americans experienced the largest increase in entrepreneurial activity between 2008 and 2009. Rising from 0.22 percent in 2008 to 0.27 percent in 2009, the rate was the highest over the 14 years of reported data but remains below other racial groups. In contrast, both Latinos and Asians experienced declines in entrepreneurial activity rates.

•  

  Poor Blacks get LESS of the government benefits:
  Another finding of the study is that the distribution of benefits no longer aligns with the demography of poverty. African-Americans, who make up 22 percent of the poor, receive 14 percent of government benefits, close to their 12 percent population share.
• Black college degree vs. white college degree attainment:
  
• The out of wedlock birth rate for Black women is falling:
  Among unmarried black women, the birth rate dropped 11 percent between 2007 and 2012, to 63 of every 1,000 live births.
  
  

Jay-Z and Beyonce Disgust Me

Let me say this quickly and directly to the point: "I'm Ike Turner, turn up/Baby know I don't play/Now eat the cake, Anna Mae"

If I heard ANYONE say that to my daughter, I'm catching a case for putting a beat down on him and maybe a second case for putting a beat down on my daughter for accepting the statement.

First, Jay-Z cuts "99 Problems" and Beyonce is okay with the song. Now Jay-Z raps that line on a "love song"? 

If I were her father, a perfect copy my left foot could be made from the cast stuck up Jay-Z's rear end and a perfect copy of my right foot could be made from the cast stuck up Beyonce's rear end.

The Drop Squad is wasted on the both of them.

Net Neutrality: Give Them Enough Rope

Republican politicians who support the anti-net neutrality ruling are either technology idiots or their votes have been paid for by the Internet backbone companies or both. This is what I see happening.

Verizon will go to Google and say, "YouTube traffic is 30% of our back bone and last mile traffic. We are requiring that you pay us extra or we will reduce the YouTube bandwidth over our back bone by 20%."

But check this out it won't stop there.

Verizon will go to their users and say, "Your home usage indicates you streams movies from NetFlix or Amazon that is 20% of your Internet traffic. This puts you in our high use category. As a high use customer, we will add a high use fee to your service. BTW, if you use our FIOS package, on demand services won't count against your network usage."

Then they'll go to Netflix and say a similar thing they said to YouTube. Then Netflix will send you a letter telling you they have raised your rates.

This ruling stinks.

Twerking Is Cultural Misappropriation?

Let me get this straight!

Miley Cyrus does a stripper dance, because that's what twerking is, and now some Black people are saying it's cultural misappropriation?

Sooooooo..... It's "stealing" "Black culture" when a white person does a dance that focuses on a woman shaking her butt and making "it clap."

These people are saying, that dance IS Black culture, otherwise the use of "cultural misappropriation" would not come into play.

Think about that for a moment. 

A culture that is said to have created jazz, is now being said, by some, to be proudly claiming twerking.

Twerking.

Strippa dancing!

Think about what these FOOLS are saying.

 

Kasandra Perkins Died As A Result of Domestic Violence

Kasandra Perkins, the mother of a 3 month old girl, was killed by her "boyfriend," who happened to be a football player. Kasandra Perkins, and her daughter, are victims of domestic violence. In this case, the weapon used wasn't her boyfriend's fists, nor a knife, nor a car, but a gun. 

I mention the weapon here only for one reason: it doesn't matter what means her boyfriend used to kill her. Kasandra Perkins is dead and her baby no longer has a living mother. And, as I write this, what is now being reported is the murderer has a history of domestic violence against other women.

The killer's occupation is not an issue. The means the killer used to kill Kasandra Perkins is not an issue. The rate of violence for people who have the killer's occupation is not an issue. Domestic violence is the issue and Kasandra Perkins is dead.

The rest of it is noise. End of story.

I Got Your Gift Right *HERE*, Romney!

Mitt Romney lost the election and now he's blaming the loss on "minorities" and "young folks" who were swayed by President Obama's "gifts".

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/11/14/reports-romney-says-obama-won-by-offering-gifts-to-minorities-and-young-voters/

"What the president, president's campaign did was focus on certain members of his base coalition, give them extraordinary financial gifts from the government, and then work very aggressively to turn them out to vote," Romney said in the afternoon call, according to audio aired on ABC News.

...

"With regards to the young people, for instance, a forgiveness of college loan interest, was a big gift," Romney said, according to The New York Times.

"Free contraceptives were very big with young college-aged women," he continued. "And then, finally, Obamacare also made a difference for them, because as you know, anybody now 26 years of age and younger was now going to be part of their parents' plan, and that was a big gift to young people. They turned out in large numbers, a larger share in this election even than in 2008."

The president's health care reform plan, he added, also brought out support from African Americans and Hispanic voters.


Let's see. Forgiveness of college loans hasn't been done, so how is that a gift? Also, Romney said he would push for increasing Pell Grants and offering more of them.

And then there is ObamaCare, which Romney said there are aspects that he liked and wanted to keep, like, ohhhhh, increased dependent coverage age! and portability!

I wonder what his "minority outreach" person, Tara Wall, has to say about his comments.

Yo! Mitt Romney! I got your GIFTS! Right! HERE!

Coloreds Not Welcome

After listening to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reily, and Laura Ingram. After reading some opinion pieces by conservatives. After reading the rants on Twitter, all I can say is, the Republican Party, the Grand Ole Party, has put out a sign that says, Coloreds Not Welcome.

 

Penn State MUST Get The Death Penalty

I read parts of the Sandusky report.

Penn State ***** MUST ***** get the NCAA Death Penalty. PERIOD.

The silence of the people involved is *JUST* like the neighborhoods that are controlled by gangs. EVERYONE is afraid to say ANYTHING for fear of reprisals.

The NYPD Is A Brown Shirt Organization

The NYPD is a Brown Shirt organization.

HARLEM — The NYPD has created a "wanted" poster for a Harlem couple who film cops conducting stop-and-frisks and post the videos on YouTube — branding them "professional agitators" who portray cops in a bad light and listing their home address, DNAinfo.com New York has learned.

The flyer featured side-by-side mugshots of Matthew Swaye, 35, and his partner Christina Gonzalez, 25, and warned officers to be on guard against them. It was spotted by multiple people, including the couple, when it was taped to a podium outside a public hearing room in the 30th Precinct house last Thursday, where residents met for precinct council meeting.

"Be aware that above subjects are known professional agitators," read the flyer, which bears the NYPD shield and a seal of the NYPD's Intelligence Division. It also gave the home address of the couple.

"Above subjects MO is that they video tape officers performing routine stops and post on YouTube," the sign said. "Subjects purpose is to portray officers in a negative way and too deter officers from conducting there [sic] responsibilities."

The flyer also listed the name and cellphone number of a Sgt. Nicholson in the 30th Precinct, and implored cops to "not feed into above subjects propaganda."

Nicholson did not respond to a request for comment. The NYPD also did not respond to repeated requests.

If Brown Shirt is too strong of a term to use, what would YOU call it?

 

Latest Drop Squad Candidates

I present the members of the New Black Panther Party to be Drop Squaded for offering a bounty on George Zimmerman. Yes, I think Zimmerman belongs in jail and then should get a court date for murder, but offering a bounty on him? Way beyond uncalled for.

I also present Spike Lee for tweeting Zimmerman's address and if that wasn't bad enough, the address was wrong!

Actually, Drop Squading provides the opportunity for these people to get back in the good graces of Black people. Forget the Drop Squad. They should be forever banned from being Black!

Yeah! I said it! WHAT!!!!!

Baltimore Dem Mayor Supports Talking Homes Over Wrong Water Bills

http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/baltimore-city/bs-md-ci-water-bill-hearing-20120320,0,2989228.story

Rhonda Wimbish says she has been battling Baltimore officials over a $300 water bill — more than six times her normal rate — for more than a year.

Now Wimbish, a single mother of a disabled child, says her West Baltimore home is scheduled to go to tax sale over the bill, which she maintains is inaccurate.

"What do I do? Do I pay my inflated water bill or do I feed my child?" Wimbish said to a City Council committee Wednesday evening. "I've gone through your process. I've done everything I could to fight this bill."

Wimbish was one of scores of angry residents who packed a hearing on water bill errors.



Mayor Rawlings-Blake, a Black woman, supports the city selling homes as a tax lien sale when the water bills issued by the city are wrong.

There MUST be lawsuits over this!

Which Is More Important?

Two stories, actually, three but the third is a different post, have
me DEEPLY troubled.

The first, not because of order of importance, is this story about an
over weight boy being removed from his home and placed in foster care
for the "safety" of the kid. http://bit.ly/vrTck9


Authorities in Ohio, last week, determined that an overweight
(unnamed) 8-year-old boy was too fat, so they took him away from his
parents in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Officials told the parents that
they were not controlling his weight well enough.

The boy was reportedly over 200 pounds, well into the severely obese
category, according to Cleveland Plain Dealer. That extra weight puts
people at risk for diabetes, hypertension and other weight-related
disorders, doctors say.

The state’s Department of Children and Family Services insisted that
the third grader was being neglected, and that his mother was not
following doctors’ orders to control his weight.

The family’s lawyer disagrees, claiming that the state is overstepped
its role in taking the boy, and that his health risk factors do not
pose an imminent threat.


For an 8 year old boy, 200 pounds is in a dangerous zone. And from
what I hear on the radio, now, the government worked with the mother
for a year to do something about the boy's weight. My general concern
is, what is considered to be "too fat" and, given how government
starts at something "reasonable" and then quickly goes into the
unreasonable area, doesn't this set a dangerous precedent?

Suppose a child doesn't have access to the Internet at home? Will the
government then take kids from their parents because someone deems the
Internet to be "essential" to "healthy living"?

The second is something that is at least as frightening. Senate bill,
S. 1253, the National Defense Authorization Act, drafted by Sens. Carl
Levin, D-Mich., and John McCain, R-Ariz., that would allow the arrest,
detainment, and lack of a trial, for a U.S. citizen, on U.S. soil, if
they are suspected of having "a relationship" with a
terrorist organization.

A U.S. citizen, being stripped of trial rights? And, as equally
important, the military being given authority to perform military
actions on U.S. soil without emergency action by Congress and the
President?

Hello?

Keeping It Plain on Occupy Wall Street #OWS

Plain and simple, they messed up by having "occupations" instead of one day protests, not that I am a fan of them. But when you get a group of people, "camping out," and the objective appears to make a noise and be noticed, there is going to be trouble when the people stay too long.

Were you upset at the amount of student loans you have? Well, blame yourself and/or your parents. You determined it was worthwhile to go into the debt you did for an education. If you want to get mad, get mad at Washington, because in the last bill to "fix" credit issues, congress made it so when a bankruptcy occurs, education loan debt can't be discharged.

And if you are upset at Wall Street, make sure you are also upset at politicians in D.C. because they worked hand in hand in their unholy alliance.

And, finally, you learned a good lesson this week. Early on, the Democrat politicians seemed to support you. But you overstayed your welcome, and now, the Democrats in power in the cities you camped out, are using the government to "suppress" you. The same government from which you are seeking REDRESS, is the same government willing to "SUPPRESS."

Remembering Katrina and NOT Remembering

I heard a few media people commenting on the "anniversary of Katrina", and I noticed something big missing. Yes, there were comments about the failure of FEMA, a comment asking why Ray Nagin was speaking about failures in the Katrina response when he was one of the main people who failed, and how New Orleans isn't coming back. 

But no one mentioned the police who killed a man on a bridge leading out of New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS — In a verdict that brought a decisive close to a case that has haunted this city since most of it lay underwater nearly six years ago, five current and former New Orleans police officers were found guilty on all counts by a federal jury on Friday for shooting six citizens, two of whom died, and orchestrating a wide-ranging cover-up in the hours, weeks and years that followed.

The defendants were convicted on 25 counts, including federal civil rights violations in connection with the two deaths, for the violence and deception that began on the Danziger Bridge in eastern New Orleans on Sept. 4, 2005, just days after Hurricane Katrina hit and the levees failed.

“The officers convicted today abused their power and violated the public’s trust during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, exacerbating one of the most devastating times for the people of New Orleans,” Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said.  “I am hopeful today’s verdict brings justice for the victims and their family members, helps to heal the community and contributes to the restoration of public trust in the New Orleans Police Department.”   

And, as always, there was complete silence by the "law and order" conservatives about the police who broke the law and were convicted. Not one conservative mentioned the "Jack booted thugs" of the New Orleans police department, but they hadn't mentioned it up until this point, so why expect otherwise?

The U.S. Should Have Let Chrysler Fail and Saved $1.3 Billion

According to this, the U.S. lost $1.3 billion in the Chyrsler bailout.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- U.S. taxpayers likely lost $1.3 billion in the government bailout of Chrysler, the Treasury Department announced Thursday.

The government recently sold its remaining 6% stake in the company to Italian automaker Fiat, wrapping up the 2009 auto bailouts that were part of TARP.

Let me repeat, the U.S. TAXPAYERS GAVE AWAY $1.3 billion to a failing company!

For those of you who say the U.S. should get out of the wars we are in because other things can be done with the money, what about this?

The Balanced Budget Amendment Is A Joke

The idea that Republicans want to push a balanced budget amendment is a joke. It is nothing but a lame symbolic gesture.

1. Why wasn't this pushed when Republicans controlled congress and the presidency?
2. Given the accounting tricks that go on with Washington, how is there assurance they will use traditional accounting practices instead of shady accounting?
3. Congress and the President, _currently_, ignore the Constitution. How in the world will they be compelled to follow the Constitution if the a balanced budget amendment makes it out of congress and is ratified by the states?

If There Is A Violent Revolution, It's Going To Be Because of TSA

If there is a violent revolution in the United States, I swear it is going to be because of the insanity that happens under the guise of "security" by the TSA.

In the latest controversy surrounding Transportation Security Administration policies over intrusive body pat-downs, the agency sought to defend its actions in the case of a 95-year-old cancer patient who was forced to remove her adult diaper during a search.

Jean Weber of Destin, Fla., said she was escorting her mother, who suffers from leukemia, to Michigan on June 18 to live with family members before moving into an assisted living facility, according to published reports.

 

Weber told CNN that a TSA officer at Northwest Florida Regional Airport near Pensacola, Fla., felt something "suspicious" on her mother's leg during a patdown. Weber said her mother was taken to a private room. The officer then told Weber that her mother's Depend undergarment was wet and was getting in the way of a complete search. The officer asked for it to be removed, which Weber did in a restroom.

 

"It's something I couldn't imagine happening on American soil," Weber told the Panama City News-Herald Friday. "Here is my mother, 95 years old, 105 pounds, barely able to stand, and then this."

I swear these folks, who have questionable IQ, do it for sick kicks. Seriously, are the people hired forced to undergo psychological evaluations? HOw many have control issues or are socio-paths?

Fox News vs. Comedy Central

How can Chis Wallace be serious in comparing Fox News to Comedy Central?

Isn't NEWS different in focus and presentation than COMEDY?

I mean, DAMN! I understand trying to "defend" your employer, but how do you defend your employer by trying to draw an equivalence between the two networks?

Release The Damn Photo!

Pres. Obama won't release the photograph.

RELEASE IT!

Don't want to incite more violence? Then why kill OBL??????

Damn! You look like a PUNK!

You think it was bad, BEFORE, when they were asking for the birth
certificate? OH, now it's ON!

Trump and the GOP

OK, let me understand this...

Donald Trump is making the media rounds as well as making political
rounds, saying he is thinking about running for the GOP nomination.
Meanwhile, he is supporting the birther cause, said we should take
control of Iraqi oil, impose tariffs on China, as well as other
things. I'm going to ignore that he is a straight up media whore and
lives by the P.T. Barnum statement, "There's a sucker born every
minute."

In media polls, Trump polls very high against other non-declared but
possible presidential GOP nomination candidates. Some Republican media
pundits are now starting to take aim at Trump in an effort to "knock
him out" before he starts. There is now a backlash against those
pundits by "grass roots" Republicans who are saying those going after
Trump are part of the GOP establishment.

Here is where I need help understanding some things.

Donald Trump PUBLICLY cheated on wife number one. Divorced her and
married "the other woman." He then divorced her and remarried.

Donald Trump "was" pro-choice until he started this media campaign,
and now he's "is" pro-life.

Donald Trump has STRATEGICALLY declared bankruptcy, multiple times.
One of those times, Donald Trump's father, who was wealthy when he
turned the business over to Donald Trump, went to one of the casinos
facing default, obtained millions of dollars worth of gambling chips,
and then left the casino.

Given real negatives like that, the Republican "grass roots" appear to
be supporting Trump? The "grass roots" that is said to be big on
family values and morals and personal responsibility?

[ UPDATE ]

I forgot to mention that Trump has given to numerous Democrats.

Donald Trump has said that Ronald Reagan was the worst president of all time.

Donald Trump has said that George W Bush was the worst president of all time.

This "Woman" Has Two KidsThis

This woman has two kids. She was concerned about them AFTER getting arrested.

She sure gains mother of the year nominations from me!

I trust you read that with the sarcasm that was intended.

DMV Awards and Chris Rock

Chris Rock did that famous bit about "African-Americans vs. Niggers".
Some people at the time were mad about what Chris Rock
said while others defended him. I was a defender.

[ UPDATED ]

Well, the DMV Awards proved Chris Rock was right.

SMH.

Fire, Sue, and Bankrupt!

If this is true, those who took part MUST be fired!

These garbage men really stink.

Selfish Sanitation Department bosses from the snow-slammed outer boroughs ordered their drivers to snarl the blizzard cleanup to protest budget cuts -- a disastrous move that turned streets into a minefield for emergency-services vehicles, The Post has learned.

Miles of roads stretching from as north as Whitestone, Queens, to the south shore of Staten Island still remained treacherously unplowed last night because of the shameless job action, several sources and a city lawmaker said, which was over a raft of demotions, attrition and budget cuts.

"They sent a message to the rest of the city that these particular labor issues are more important," said City Councilman Dan Halloran (R-Queens), who was visited yesterday by a group of guilt-ridden sanitation workers who confessed the shameless plot.

Halloran said he met with three plow workers from the Sanitation Department -- and two Department of Transportation supervisors who were on loan -- at his office after he was flooded with irate calls from constituents.

Then, bring out the BIG DOG lawyers and sue the city into bankruptcy! And sue the union as well, just in case they are a part of it! The reason for the lawsuit would be this:

One woman repeatedly called 911 after going into labour, but her call was classed as a low priority and the baby died in hospital after falling unconscious after it was born.

Sue them and bleed them until they walk around naked!
