AMENPER: Luce muy mona
Hay que tener cuidado
para decirle a una mujer ¿Qué mona luces? Todo depende de quién es la mujer.
Hace poco en una
conversación estábamos tratando de llegar a la conclusión de que cual era la
minoría más privilegiada y preservada en sus puestos de
trabajo. Unos pensaban que los negros, otros que los gays, otros que
los latinos, pero la mayoría estuvo de acuerdo que el más privilegiado sería un
gay negro latino.
Pero nos equivocamos, ha
sucedido que un gay latino fue cesanteado de Univisión por tener comentarios
racistas, con respecto nada menos que a Michelle Obama. Y esto nos
lleva a la conclusión que el problema más que racista es político.
Rodner Figueroa, el
corresponsal de estilo abiertamente gay en El Gordo y la Flaca de Univisión, ha
sido despedido por comentarios de la primera dama Michelle Obama en comparación
con un personaje de "Planeta de los simios" durante un segmento en el
aire.
Figueroa hizo los
comentarios racistas durante un segmento con Paolo Ballesteros, un artista
Filipino actor y maquillaje con una extraordinaria habilidad para transformarse
en diferentes celebridades femeninas usando nada más que sus habilidades de
maquillaje formidable.
Mientras observa
Ballesteros tratando de cambiar el contorno de su cara para hacer que Figueroa
se pareciese a Michelle, lo cual lo logró según ven en la foto de
arriba, Figueroa aprovechó la oportunidad para comentar sobre la
primera dama: "Todos saben que Michelle Obama parece que ella es de la
película el planeta de los monos."
Raúl De Molina, uno de
los anfitriones de Figueroa, trató de disipar la situación afirmando
repetidamente que muchas personas, incluyendo él mismo encontraban la señora
Obama muy atractiva, pero el daño ya estaba hecho.
El segmento vivo fue
transmitido a las audiencias de la costa, pero los comentarios racistas fueron
editados de tiempo para la difusión de la costa oeste. Al final del día
Univisión había terminado con Figueroa, lo limpiaron de su página
oficial, y emitieron un comunicado oficial sobre su decisión diciendo que su
comentario "era totalmente reprobable y de ninguna manera refleja los
valores u opiniones de Univisión".
Horas que más tarde
Figueroa lanzó una declaración propia para disculparse por sus comentarios y
afirmando que fue despedido después de representantes de la casa blanca
expresaron su preocupación a Univisión.
"Estoy
avergonzado, pido perdón, porque no hay ninguna excusa para un
profesional como yo hacer comentarios como éste que pueden ser malinterpretadas
como ofensivas y racistas durante una época tan volátil en nuestro país",
escribió. "Asumo la responsabilidad por este error de juicio de mi parte,
pero no puedo aceptar ser llamado a racista y despedido así, humillada, perdon,
quise decir humillado públicamente por Univisión, después de 17 años".
Él continuó: "Vengo
de una familia latina bi-racial, con miembros de la familia como mi padre, que
son Afro-latinos. Yo soy el primer anfitrión abiertamente gay en la televisión
hispana y he sido activista por causas ayudar a las minorías, que como yo han
discriminado. He votado abiertamente dos veces por su esposo, Barack Obama,
porque considero que es un gran hombre que respeta a las minorías como yo en
este país."
Bueno Rodnito te
jodistes, no importa si eres gay, latino y aunque hayas salido del closet como
negro diciendo que tu abuelita era negra, que hayas botado por Barack, te
jodistes de todas maneras, nadie puede tocar a la emperatriz sin sufrir las
consecuencias.
Time magazine responds to fuss over Hillary Clinton
'devil horns' cover
 |
Time magazine is catching hell for its latest cover supposedly giving
Hillary Clinton devil horns.
Some hawk-eyed politicos noticed the
“M” in TIME carves out little blue triangles above the former secretary of
state’s head.
The eye-catching cover comes in the wake of a scandal over Clinton’s use of a personal
email address on a
private server as a government official.
Time sought to extinguish the flames of the online firestorm on Thursday by pointing out that this has happened to
plenty of subjects in the past — given the placement of the “M” — and was in no
way intentional.
The magazine’s website published a gallery of 34 other covers that
similarly appear to feature devilish horns.
This list includes former U.S. presidents Bill Clinton and George W.
Bush, several popes, actor John Travolta, former U.K. Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher and “Star Wars” villain Darth Vader.
Even Hillary Clinton was given horns at least one other time, on Nov. 16, 2009.
“Any resemblance to cats, bats or devil horns is entirely coincidental,”
the website said.
The uproar drew more attention to the magazine’s featured article, “The Clinton Way,” by David Von Drehle.

Clinton's
Personal Email Account a "Serious Breach" of Security. And Illegal.
Hillary
Clinton's bad string of news stories gets worse with revelations -- in the New York Times,
of all places -- that she illegally used a personal email account during her
entire term as Secretary of State:
Mrs. Clinton did not have a government email address during her
four-year tenure at the State Department. Her aides took no actions to have her
personal emails preserved on department servers at the time, as required by the
Federal Records Act.
It was only two months ago, in response to a new State Department effort
to comply with federal record-keeping practices, that Mrs. Clinton’s advisers
reviewed tens of thousands of pages of her personal emails and decided which
ones to turn over to the State Department. All told, 55,000 pages of emails
were given to the department. Mrs. Clinton stepped down from the secretary’s
post in early 2013.
“It is very difficult to conceive of a scenario — short of nuclear
winter — where an agency would be justified in allowing its cabinet-level head
officer to solely use a private email communications channel for the conduct of
government business,” said Jason R. Baron, a lawyer at Drinker Biddle &
Reath who is a former director of litigation at the National Archives and
Records Administration.
Team Clinton, of course, defends her violation of the law and
endangering national security, saying she observed the "spirit" of
the law, even as she was breaking it.
It's also come to
light that Mrs. Clinton created this email account the day her Senate confirmation hearings began. How was this discovered? By hackers:
In March 2013, an adviser
to Clinton, Sidney Blumenthal, had his email hacked by "Guccifer" --
the Romanian hacker perhaps best known for revealing George W. Bush's paintings
to the world. At the time, Gawker reported that Blumenthal was communicating with an account that appeared to
belong to Clinton at the "clintonemail.com" domain. The content of
some of those emails was published by RT.com.
Examining the registry
information for "clintonemail.com" reveals that the domain was first
created on January 13, 2009 -- one week before President Obama was sworn into
office, and the same day that Clinton's confirmation hearings began before the Senate.
SHERIFF RESPONDS TO ORDER TO REMOVE
AMERICAN FLAG FROM COURTHOUSE: “YOU MESS WITH MY FLAG, THE FIGHT IS ON BABY!”
When asked why the flag would be offensive, Sheriff Watson responded, “I guess
they think that terrorists might walk through the courthouse… we’ve given them
everything else…. We’ve given our country away,… but you mess with my flag, the
fight is on baby!”
Portsmouth,
Virginia Sheriff Bill Watson says he is furious after he was told by a group of
judges to remove an American flag from the lobby of a courthouse that was
donated by the Portsmouth Fire Department.
WTKR reports:
Sheriff Watson said his agency got the
American flag display as a gift from members of the Portsmouth Fire Department
a few weeks ago.
It’s made of old fire hoses which a sign
beneath it that reads, “A Tribute to Public Safety.”
Watson said he requested to have it mounted
on the wall in the lobby of the courthouse but was shocked by what he was told.
Watson said he was told, “Not only do we not
want it on the wall, we don’t want it in the courthouse.”
“I just can’t believe that they don’t want to
display the American flag in a courthouse, I mean that’s the most asinine thing
I’ve ever heard in my life,” Watson rightly said.
One of the judges, who wanted to remain
unidentified, spoke with NewsChannel 3 and said that the courthouse was not the
appropriate place to display the flag.
The judge claimed that if you allowed one
type of display, then you have to allow all types and it would set a “wrong
precedent.”
“They
expect my deputies to put their life on the line for a judge,” Sheriff Watson
said. “If somebody was going to come into a courtroom with a gun, the deputy is
supposed to stand in front of the judge and take a bullet, but yet they won’t
let us have our flag, saluting public safety? To me, that’s a slap in the
face.”

Boko
Haram Pledges Allegiance To The Flag Of ISIS
The
group has killed 11,000 people since 2011, including 6,000 just in 2014 alone.
The
Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) accepted the pledge of allegiance
offered by African terrorist group Boko Haram. The Nigerian terrorist
organization offered to align itself with ISIS last Saturday.
ISIS media arm Al-Furqan made the
announcement Thursday.
“We announce to you to the good news of the expansion of the caliphate to West
Africa because the caliph … has accepted the allegiance of our brothers of the
Sunni group for preaching and the jihad,” said ISIS spokesman Mohammed
al-Adnani.
Al-Adnani also issued a warning to
non-Muslims residing in territories controlled by ISIS. “If you insist on being
arrogant and stubborn,” he warned, “soon you will bite your fingers off in
regret.”
Last week, Boko Haram leader Abubakar Sheka
posted an audio message online swearing allegiance to ISIS, Fox
News reported.
“We announce our allegiance to the Caliph of
the Muslims … and will hear and obey in times of difficulty and prosperity, in
hardship and ease, and to endure being discriminated against, and not to
dispute about rule with those in power, except in case of evident infidelity
regarding that which there is a proof from Allah.”
The group has killed 11,000 people since
2011, including 6,000 just in 2014 alone.
Boko Haram’s newly formed alliance with ISIS
comes just as the Pentagon announced Friday that Iraqi and Kurdish forces have
regained over one quarter of territory once held by ISIS in Iraq, ABC
News noted.
“We assess ISIL’s front lines have been
pushed back in northern and central Iraq,” Pentagon spokesman Col. Steve Warren
said in a briefing with the media Friday. “ISIL no longer has complete freedom
of movement in roughly 25 percent of populated areas of Iraqi territory where
they once operated freely.”

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia Urges GOP to
Move Fast to Eliminate Obamacare

New Play on Justice Scalia Examines Tough Issues

Washington examines one of the most conservative and polarizing justices on the
Supreme Court - Antonin Scalia. (March 5)

In a recent interview, Supreme Court Justice Antonin
Scalia said conservatives and Republicans could move quickly to eliminate parts
of Obamacare after the Court issues a decision in a case being heard this
month, causing some to hope that the decision might end up dealing a blow to
the president’s take over of the nation’s health care system.
Scalia noted that lawmakers could move very quickly to amend and eliminate parts of Obama’s
health care insurance law if the Court strikes down the subsidies issued by the
federal insurance exchange.
At issue is the straight language in Obamacare that
maintains that government subsidies to help citizens afford the more expensive
coverage forced on them by the president’s law are only available to states
that set up state-based Obamacare exchanges.
Lawmakers wrote Obamacare expecting that every state
would set up the exchanges, but a later Supreme Court decision determined that
the federal government could not force the states to create an exchange if they
didn’t want to. 37 states ended up opting out of the state-based Obamacare
exchanges.
The law is clearly written to provide only those
states with state-based exchanges with subsides. But when 37 states opted out
of the exchanges, Obama decided on his own that all citizens would be eligible
for subsidies through the federal exchange. It is this unilateral decision that
the current case, King v. Burwell, seeks
to overturn.
Republicans in both the House and the Senate have
already offered basic ideas on how to replace subsidies if they are lost by a
Supreme Court decision that invalidates Obama’s subsidies.
House members have proposed tax credits to help
citizens in non-exchange states to pay for their health care insurance policies
forced upon them by Obamacare. The exact amount of that tax credit has not been
decided.
The House is also proposing to allow states to fully
opt out of the Obamacare mandates.
For its part, the Senate has proposed a temporary
program of financial assistance for lower income insurance buyers so that they
can keep their insurance while Congress works out a solution to the issue.
Democrats, though, claim that neither house will be
able to muster the votes to put dents in Obamacare no matter what the Court
decides.
Regardless, both houses of Congress are in a waiting
game until the Supreme Court releases its ruling in June.
