Unger strike: Obama’s former professor says he ‘must not’ win in 2012

(The Daily Caller)-Harvard Law School professor Roberto Unger, who taught President Barack Obama classes such as Jurisprudence and Reinventing Democracy, said last month that his former student has betrayed liberals and should lose the presidency in November.

“President Obama must be defeated in the coming election,” Unger said in a sit-down video posted to his YouTube account in May, which also attacked the Republican party.

“If [The Republicans] had their way, inequality would be even greater than it is now,” Unger said, before acknowledging that a Romney win would lead to some undesirable “judicial and administrative appointments.”

But those costs, to Unger, pale in comparison to the risks of an Obama second term.

“The Democratic Party has no new direction. … [Obama] has failed to advance the progressive cause,” Unger said. “He has spent trillions of dollars to rescue the moneyed interests and left workers and homeowners to their own devices.”

Then, gripping his chair tightly as if to strap in for an earthquake of truth-telling, Unger proceeded to unleash a series of one-liners against Obama.

Unger has posted several interviews with himself on his YouTube channel, which are viewed only rarely. Unger typically disables comments on his videos, and he receives few positive or insightful comments when he does allow user interaction.

In a video Unger posted on the topic of the Hegelian and Sartrean Heresies, for example, a viewer praised Unger’s “very interesting” point of view but complained that “there’s got to be something you can do” about “your jaw click.”

According to the Harvard Crimson, Unger received tenure at Harvard Law School at the unusually young age of 29.



*CAN YOU SAY...JEALOUS! We think so.

This guy is so ridiculous. He's looking for an avenue to put all his rhetoric out there about the President just like others. You would think he would be supportive and down the middle, but I guess jealousy has gotten the better of him. I guess the question we have is, why would a professor come out like this other than seek attention? Something tells us he's not getting attention elsewhere (hint: the bedroom). Truly, this guy needs to crawl back into the whole where he came from instead of coming out with some ridiculous mess like this. Yes! We say; BORING!!

Ann Romney responds to protesters at Ohio rally

The Ticket—Democratic protesters who have been trailing Mitt Romney's bus tour across the country finally caught up the Republican nominee, shouting loud enough for the candidate to hear as he spoke at a rally here.



"GO HOME ROMNEY! GO HOME ROMNEY!" about 30 protestors shouted in unison as the former Massachusetts governor took the stage here at a historic town square in the shadow of Newark City Hall.

Ann Romney, who was on stage introducing her husband, briefly acknowledged the group, telling supporters here, "We got some distracters out there, but... we can be just as loud about how much we love this country."

But her husband has become more adept at ignoring protestors. While Romney would often pause and acknowledge those aiming to disrupt his events during the primaries, the Republican nominee ignored his detractors today. But he seemed more fired up than usual in delivering his usual stump speech—as though he were aiming to drown out his opponents with his own voice.

The protests come a day after the Romney campaign re-routed the candidate's tour in Pennsylvania to avoid the GOP candidate's opponents. Romney had been scheduled to visit a Wawa convenience store in Quakertown, but instead dropped in on a location on the other side of town after hearing former

Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, a Democrat, was leading a protest at the first site.

Asked by a local reporter why he had changed the location of his visit, Romney joked that he'd heard he already had another surrogate on site—a reference to Rendell's recent criticism over the Obama campaign's attacks on Romney's tenure at Bain Capital.



*Go back to the kitchen Ann Romney!

This chick is definitely enjoying the fruits of her husbands campaigning.  She's a stay at home mom (whom we don't have anything against), who truly needs to stay at home. 



We definitely feel she's bad for business, just as her husband is a horrible choice for the white house. They both don't make any sense, and are disconnected from REAL Americans and the struggle.

At the end of the day, Romney and his mayberry wife can visit as many states and communities all they like, but if they truly want to connect, they need to come down off of that pestal that they have put themselves on, and really talk to the people.  It's only fitting that we have an American President that can understand American society and it's people. 

As for his wife, well, she's a just bland, boring and needs to keep her ass out of the spotlight and in the kitchen.* 

Not a fan!

Rodney King found dead in swimming pool

(The Lookout)-Rodney King, whose videotaped beating by police in 1991 sparked the L.A. riots, was found dead at his California home on Sunday. He was 47.

File photo shows King smiling during a discussion for his book in Los Angeles

Police said King's fiancée discovered him at the bottom of the swimming pool at their Rialto, Calif., home, about 55 miles east of Los Angeles.

Police responded to a call at 5:25 a.m., pulled King out of the pool and attempted CPR, but could not revive him.

King's representative Suzanne Wickman confirmed to his death to KABC-TV.
According to TMZ, King's fiancée, Cynthia Kelley, told friends King spent the bulk of Saturday drinking and "smoked marijuana at some point," before she went to went to bed at 2:00 a.m.

The cause of death is unknown, but police are investigating it as a drowning. Rialto Police Capt. Randy DeAnda told CNN there were no preliminary signs of foul play.

King was beaten by four white LAPD officers following a DUI stop on March 3, 1991. Footage captured by an amateur videographer showed the officers hitting King 56 times with wooden batons.

"I just got lucky that night to have the cameras on me," King said in April, marking the 20th anniversary of the L.A. riots. "When I saw the tape, I was so happy that it was on tape and then looking at it, it was like I was in another body. I felt like I had died in that one, and was just watching it."

The four officers--Theodore Briseno, Laurence Powell, Timothy Wind and Sgt. Stacey Koon--were acquitted of criminal charges, sparking the riots that left 55 people dead. (Koon and Powell were later found guilty of federal civil rights charges and sentenced to 30 months in prison.)


"It felt like Armageddon," King said of the acquittal. "It felt like the end of the world. I was hurt. I was past upset.


"I was raised not to be violent, and not to be rioting and carrying on like a wild man," he added, "but at the same time, there was a side of me saying, 'What else can you do?' I didn't agree with it, but I understood."

During the five-day riots--marked by widespread looting, arson and racially-charged beatings throughout South Central L.A.--King made his famous public plea for peace: "People, I just want to say, can we all get along? Can we get along?"

"Through all that he had gone through with his beating and personal demons, he was never one to not call for reconciliation and for his people to overcome and forgive," the Rev. Al Sharpton said in a statement on Sunday.

King had long struggled with alcohol abuse, much of it detailed in his 2012 memoir, "The Riot Within." According to KABC, he was arrested or detained by police at least a dozen times on charges ranging from DUI to domestic violence.

In 2011--the 20th anniversary of his beating--King was arrested in California on suspicion of DUI.

According to TMZ, King was scheduled to compete in a celebrity boxing match against Jose Canseco in August.




*RIP Rodney King*

This is a very sad ending to a man who endured so much during that time he received a tragic ass whooping by those damn LA cops. 

Since then, Rodney has gone through some tough times with drugs and alcohol.  He appeared on numerous tv outlets and some reality shows talking about what happened to him and what he was doing to cope.  He has also tried to kick his drug habit, as seen on Dr Drew's VH1 celebrity addiction reality tv series.

Truly, I think we can all learn something from King as we move forward in this society.  No matter what happens to us, and if we are blessed to see another day, we can always overcome our fears and issues.

God Bless America and the King Family.

Actress Amanda Bynes pleads not guilty in DUI case

(AP) — An attorney for actress Amanda Bynes has entered a not-guilty plea on her behalf in a driving under the influence case.

Before when Amanda was cute and innocent



After-This bitch is out of control and crazy!


The actress did not attend the arraignment Wednesday in Beverly Hills. She was charged Tuesday, roughly two months after she was arrested after grazing a sheriff's patrol car.

The actress also directed a Twitter message at President Barack Obama asking him to fire the deputy who arrested her, writing she doesn't drink. After her arrest, the 26-year-old refused a test that would have determined if she was drunk or used drugs.

District Attorney's spokeswoman Jane Robison says a pretrial hearing is set for July 18.

Bynes is best known for her role in Nickelodeon's series "What I Like About You."




*If you know your ass is drunk, then why deny it, especially when the cop is right there, because your drunk ass grazing his car!

She's So ridiculous!

Why do these hollywood types always think they can get away with everything? I'm appalled by these skanky, drunk and hot mess idiot girls who think their sh*t don't stink because they're rich and famous! 

On top of her ass driving drunk; she decides to send a twitter message to President Obama about firing the deputy who had probable cause to arrest her drunk ass!

It's simply outrageous!

Most of you who visit us here at Diva's Nation know that we raise roof for our fellow females, but this mess here, is a hot ass mess.  For her to drive drunk, almost hit a cop car, and then have time to complain about it to the President is ridiculous!  If she had time to send a damn tweet, her ass had time to show up for court! 

("We do apologize for all the offensive language, but we don't tolerate people who drink and drive." )

In this day in age, where driving drunk isn't tolerated, we should all know better.  However, some of us like "Amanda Bynes" choose to play dumb like her gal pals Lindsey Lohan, Kim Kardashian, and Paris Hilton.  All these bitches are straight up ridiculous and most women should be embarrassed by them.

At the end of the day, no one should be driving drunk.  If your ass is going to drink, get a designated driver, or call a cab.  It's just that simple.

'Sluts' Unite Against Republicans, Rush Limbaugh

(ABC OTUS News) Watch out Republicans, here come the sluts.

Women's rights activists are banding together to "Rock the Slut Vote" in an online effort to register women to vote and cast their ballots against Republicans in 2012.




"If the GOP thinks that throwing the word 'slut' at us at this point is going to silence women they have another thing coming," said Susan McMillan Emry, the site's founder.

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh thrust the derogatory word into the political arena in February when he called law student Sandra Fluke a "slut" for testifying before Congress in support of contraceptives.

Following the national backlash over Limbaugh's name-calling, "Rock the Slut Vote" is now aiming to "diffuse" the offensive term, Emry said.

Taking a vein from comedian Jeff Foxworthy and his "You might be a Redneck if…" jokes, Emry's website gives visitors 22 reasons why "You might be a slut," including "if you've ever used contraception" or "if you're still downloading Dixie Chicks music" or "if you don't go to church."

The site aims to "re-appropriate" the word "slut" so that Limbaugh and other Republicans cannot use it to "bully and silence women," Emry said.

"It's really about taking the power away from that word more than it is about Rush Limbaugh," she said. "He gave the word the notoriety but we are trying to take it back."

Emry said the "Rush Limbaugh mess" coupled with the Susan G. Komen Foundation's decision to cut Planned Parenthood funding and recent efforts in state Legislatures to restrict access to abortions and contraceptives "compelled" her to create the site after 56 years on the political sidelines.

"Originally my intention wasn't so much to try to have a platform as to be able to find a voice myself through the website," Emry said. "It was good for me personally because I felt so much outrage."

But what began as way to vent her anger, has evolved into a voter registering, GOP "propaganda" refuting, women's rights information hub where, Emry says, she hopes voters will come to learn more about the "war on women" before they head to the ballot box in November.

"It has evolved in the last few months from being my own personal avenue to let out a holler on what's happening to something that we hope will make a significant impact," she said.

But while the rather shocking name may catch voters' eyes, Emry could have a hard time selling the message to prospective female voters.

Only three in 10 women said they believe there is a "wide-scale effort to limit women's reproductive health choices and services," according to a Kaiser Health Tracking poll in May.  And just 5 percent of female voters said the issue they want candidates to talk about most is women's health, compared to 60 percent who said the economy was most important.

Selling merchandise, on the other hand, hasn't been as difficult. Her best-selling items are bumper stickers, T-shirts and totes that say "Rush Limbaugh thinks I'm a slut!" Emry said.


*What the bleep bleep!

DAMN! When Limbaugh came out with all of his rhetoric about the young lady being a slut and what not, I would have never imagined some chick in Cali would take it and run with it by of (Rock the slut vote) courtesy of (www.waronwomen.com).

It's quiet intriguing but at the same time very comical, as some women would backhand you if you called them a slut.  To use this term in an endearing way is ridiculous and immature. 

Let the gimmicks begin!

I would think most women would catapult their energy in the war on women in an inspirational, and motivating way to inspire their female counterparts to rally for the cause. Not employ a campaign as (Rock The Slut Vote) to rally for the cause. 

"Yuck absolutely sickening!"

This is absolutely sensational as it's taken on a life of it's own.  It may mean more votes for Democrats but what does it say to our young women who may be surfing the web and find this crap? 

"I'll tell you...it says embrace the fact that racist, and trifling ass Rush Limbaugh called your ass a slut!  That what the hell it says."  

This hot mess of so-called feminism is ridiculous!  Who in their right mind would embrace the word slut or stand for that mess!?  

"Not I!" Hopefully not any of you.

I'm sure the Dems won't be complaining as it could be very influential and mean more votes for them.  However, as this plays out, they should denouce this bull sh*t and keep it moving.  If women are going to vote the democratic way, it's because they fundementally believe in the party's values, not because of some (Rock The Slut Vote) that has inspired them to vote against the opposing party.

Ladies; I'm telling you now, don't buy into this mess, because at the end of the day, it came from racist, non-mfing-factor, Rush Limbaugh.*

Wolf Blitzer spars with Trump over birther comments: ‘Donald, you’re beginning to sound a little ridiculous’

(The Cutline)-Donald Trump, de facto leader of the so-called "birther" movement, called into "The Situation Room" on Tuesday for what quickly became a testy interview with Wolf Blitzer about Trump's continued skepticism over the authenticity of President Obama's Hawaiian birth certificate.

Trump, in Las Vegas to host a fundraiser for Mitt Romney on Tuesday, took issue with Blitzer's introduction and a CNN report that ran before the interview, both of which asserted that Trump, real estate mogul and reality show star, is standing by his birther comments. Trump claimed he agreed to the "Situation Room" interview to talk about jobs, China and OPEC; Blitzer said there were no such ground rules.

"You know that's what I'm here to talk about, and I thought your introduction was highly inappropriate," Trump said. "But that's OK, because I have gotten to know you over the years."

Blitzer then presented Trump with Obama's birth announcements that ran in Hawaiian newspapers.

"Can you stop defending Obama?" Trump stammered.
More from the heated exchange via CNN's transcript:
BLITZER: Donald, you're beginning to sound a little ridiculous, I have to tell you.
TRUMP: You are, Wolf. Let me tell you something, I think you sound ridiculous, and if you'd ask me a question and let me answer it.
BLITZER: Here's the question, did the conspiracy start in 1961 where the Honolulu Star-Bulletin and the Advertiser contemporaneously published announcements that he was born in Hawaii?
TRUMP: Many people put those announcements in because they wanted to get the benefit because of getting so-called born in this country. Many people did it. It was something done by many people even though they weren't born in the country. You know and I know it.



*WOW! NOT SUPRISED AT ALL!

Donald Trump's rhetoric is so ridiculousssssssssssssssss, that it deserves no media attention.  However, since it's out there, we are still talking about it.

This so-called birther movement is wasted media attention, and wasted energy.  Trump should realize if that's all he has to talk about, he's a non-factor in the political world.  His flare for hotmess is very apparent and many of his fans should boycott him and his shows because of it. 

For two grown ass men to keep something so ridiculous going and going, no wonder the voters are disconnected!  Romney and Trump should know better.  Didn't anyone in their so-called elitest families or friends teach them how to fight in politics.  You would think with all their money and high society friends, they would know how to act.

Apparently they don't. 

We all know that President Obama is a US citizen and no one, not trump, romney or anyone else can take that from him.  If they haven't figured that out by now after four years in office, they can't be that intelligent. 

We here at Diva's Nation give Donald Trump, Mitt Romney and all the other's who has a question about the President's birth certificate a big fat "F!" This should have no place in politics,especially when it's just ridiculous!

Both men need to focus on doing good for America instead of bringing it down.

America look at Romney and look at him closely. Is this the kind of person you want running this country? Someone who questions your US citizenship because one parent may be from another country, someone who doesn't care anything about Americans because he's so wrapped up in the glitz of politics.*

HOTMESS-HOTMESS!


Think about it.

All in all, whoever reads this blog, send us your comments about this story because we are so tired of hearing about this damn birther mess!  Email us@ mika99_2000@yahoo.com so we can hear what you have to say.

By the way if anyone wants to start a movement for President Obama; dubbed "The President Is Real" hit me up at the email address above.

Romney lands in Vegas with Trump over his shoulder

The Ticket—Donald Trump wasn't here to greet Mitt Romney as he touched down in Nevada ahead of a major fundraiser here tonight. But he might as well have been.

As Romney exited his campaign plane at McCarran Airport, the presumptive Republican nominee was cast against the backdrop of Trump's Boeing 757, which was parked a few hundred feet down the tarmac.

*HOT ASS MESS*
Donald Trump

*HOTASS MESS Who is Disconnected from Americans*
Mitt Romn...

It was unclear if the shot was planned. Romney aides seemed caught off guard by the framing of the photo opportunity. Just before the candidate left the plane, a staffer tried to usher reporters closer to Romney's aircraft, which would have blocked at least part of the Trump shot.

As he walked to his waiting SUV, Romney gave no indication he was aware of Trump's jumbo jet parked nearby. He briefly joked with Eric Fehrnstrom, one of his senior advisers, before jumping into his vehicle.

Romney is set to appear with Trump and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich at a $2 million fundraiser at Trump's hotel off the Las Vegas strip Tuesday night. President Barack Obama's re-election campaign has tried to link Romney with Trump's suggestions that Obama was not born in the United States. Asked Monday if he worries about being associated with Trump, Romney shrugged off the question, saying he doesn't agree with all of his supporters' views.



*What a hot ass mess, that these two are in the same place!

For Mitt Romney to be associated with Donald Trump at this stage in the game is not a good look for his campaign.  Donald Trump stands for "Hot ass mess" and then some. 

Trump continues to spin this wild story of President Obama not being a US citizen which is ridiculous and he knows it.  If that's all he has to harp on, then he's a "non-factor" in our political book. 

The truth is Donald Trump, while he may have millions, he's not relevent when it comes to anything, especially politics.  He's not sincerely in this years Presidential election  to inspire and make things better, he's in it to stir up sh*t!

For all of you who believe in what Trump or Romney says, you're badly misinformed.  If you want to really know the truth and truly be in the political game, don't follow down behind these fools.

Oh and skip the boring republican fundraiser. I can assure you, you will probably fall asleep.

Pastor who gave anti-gay sermon draws hundreds of protesters in North Carolina

(The Lookout) The North Carolina pastor who gave a disturbing, anti-gay sermon—in which he suggested rounding up all "queers and homosexuals" and quarantining them inside an electric fence—drew hundreds of protesters on Sunday.

Between 1,500 and 2,000 "peaceful" protesters demonstrated outside the Catawba County Justice Center, 12 miles from the Maiden, N.C., church where Rev. Charles Worley delivered his homophobic rant on Mother's Day.

"I figured a way to get rid of all the lesbians and queers," Worley told churchgoers on May 13. "Build a great big large fence—50 or 100 miles long—put all the lesbians in there. Fly over and drop some food. Do the same thing with the queers and the homosexuals and have that fence electrified so they can't get out. And you know what, in a few years, they'll die out. Do you know why? They can't reproduce!"

"It makes me pukin' sick to think about," Worley added. "Can you imagine kissing some man?"

Lt. Daryl McCarty of the Catawba County Sheriff's office told CNN that vandals tried to set fire to Worley's Providence Road Baptist Church on Friday "in retaliation about his remarks against homosexuals and lesbians from the pulpit." Police are investigating the incident.

According to the sheriff's office, two protesters on Sunday were cited for noise violations, but no arrests were made.



*Ain't this some craziness!

This guy is actually talking about killing folks due their sexual orientation.  Has he gone mad or just want attention from the media at any cost! 

Poor baby, he can't get attention from his flock by way of just sticking to the book, so he has to use homosexuals as a selling point. 

He's so ridiculous! 

Better yet, he sounds stupid and down right evil. 

I'm sure many people may not believe in homosexuality, but most folks aren't talking about killing someone because they are gay. 

I mean; this guy is contradicting himself. How can you be a pastor and preach from the book, but then, want to turn around and kill someone? 

Just think of the what some folks might think about doing to his ass.  They may want to insert a bomb up is ass, then hammer his naked ass to the cross and watch his ass explode to smitherines. 

Hey, I'm just saying!  It's the same thing.  I'm sure he wouldn't like that. 

Right?*

High school yearbooks that labeled special needs students ‘mentally retarded’ recalled

(The Lookout) A Texas high school has recalled copies of its yearbook after special needs students were described as "mentally retarded" within its pages, angering teachers, students and their parents.

Mesquite High School's yearbooks were initially distributed on Friday, but were recalled by school officials within hours.

"They told the entire class that they have a slight mistake that needs to be fixed," a senior at the school told Fox's KDFW affiliate. An introduction to the "Special Education" section read, "Some of the disabilities the students in the Special Education Program have are being blind, deaf or non-verbal" and described two students as "both blind and deaf, as well as mentally retarded."

"There was an oversight in the editing approval process," Laura Jobe, communications director for the Mesquite school district, told the Dallas morning news. "Those who work inside the special education department know these requirements."

The yearbooks will be redistributed this week, school officials said, without the offending pages.

"We earnestly regret the term 'mentally retarded' was included and offer our apologies to our students and their families," Jobe said. "The use of the words 'mentally retarded' is something we would never condone."

Mesquite High's graduation is scheduled for May 26.


*Ha! Ha! Ha!

I'm not surprised that this kind of thing has happened.  To put labels on mentally challenged students is RIDICULOUS! You would think these kids would care a little about what they do, especially in high school.

NOT!

To think they could do this, and get away with it tells us that the supervision in that department was basically non-existent.  Whoever the teacher is over the year book staff at this high school should be reprimanded.  I'm pretty sure if it was their kid who was being labeled mentally retarded, they wouldn't like it.

Note to Mesquite High School: *Please watch your staff more closely and stop letting things like this happen.  I'm sure you would be upset if your school was ridiculed out in the press for something that could of been prevented.*
