U.S. Government Shutdown Ends But Skepticism Continues Among Workers And Political Pundits (Video)

The U.S. Congress has finally reached a deal to end the federal government shutdown plaguing the nation. Many employees of the federal government were placed on furlough and have not been paid this month, anxiously sitting at home wondering when they will be able to return to work.

It is being reported federal workers will be paid by October 29, 2013, which is good, as they will be able to catch up on any delinquent bills that occurred due the shutdown. The whole fiasco created economic damage to the United States and caused international creditors to publicly question whether the government would be able to meet its financial obligations at home and abroad.

What is concerning many is the latest deal is only a temporary fix to fund the government for the next three months. The deal brokered in Congress also raises the debt ceiling for the next 4-months. This has created skepticism, as it means another shutdown could happen. However, let's hope the horrible publicity Congress received along with a sound bashing in the polls, will serve as incentive for lawmakers to strike a balanced, lasting deal that will stop this from transpiring again in the New Year.

Congress And Obama’s Approval Ratings Sink To New Lows Due To Government Shutdown

Head of the Republican Party, Senator John Boehner and leader of the Democrat Party, President Barack Obama

The current U.S. government shutdown has greatly displeased the American people, so much so President Obama’s approval ratings have dropped 10 points to 37% and Congress took the biggest hit, falling to 5%. Congressional fights over ObamaCare, President Obama's health care program that began a rollout this month, is the center of the debate.

Can’t blame people for being upset with the government, can you. The shutdown never should have happened. The massive number of furloughed government workers during tough financial times is inexcusable. The government is playing with people’s pay and to very adverse effects, in conduct that needs to stop. It is punishing the people because both sides can't agree.

Shutdown Fallout: Obama Approval Rating Slides to 37 Percent

Oct 09, 2013 - A senior White House official told the Wall Street Journal that the administration doesn't really care when the shutdown ends because they're "winning" the PR fight against the GOP. While it's true that Republicans are absorbing more blame than Democrats for the dysfunction, the gap isn't especially wide, especially compared to the 1995 rout. Plus, voters are heaping opprobrium upon all parties involved in the squabble; most people are insisting on compromise -- which isn't helpful to Obama's "no negotiations" stance. The White House must ask itself if the president may be"winning" in relative terms, but losing in absolute terms.

A new Associated Press poll shows Congressional approval at five (!) percent, which is almost within the margin of error. The American people, needless to say, are disgusted by the spectacle playing out on Capitol Hill. Despite his efforts to play the role of an above-the-fray, frustrated bystander, Obama is also taking a hit from this mess. As well he should. Between his atrocious leadership on shutdown talks, which he's single-handedly blocked, and the ongoing Obamacare meltdown, Obama's overall job approval has sunk to 37 percent. For perspective, as he prepared to leave office in January of 2009, President Bush's approval rating was 34 percent. This ain't pretty...

Duck Dynasty Cast Striking For Pay Increase

Jase, Si, Willie And Phil Robertson

Season four of the hit reality show "Duck Dynasty" is currently up in the air, as the cast is striking for a pay increase. The third season debut was viewed by over 8,500,000 people. The stars of the show, the Robertsons, want $200,000 per episode or they walk.

Considering there are over ten main family members featured on each episode, the money has to split between more leads than usual. As stated above, the show has brought in big ratings for A&E, resulting in great ad revenues. Therefore, they should pay the Robertsons more for giving the network their biggest hit ever. A&E please give the beards the bonus bucks. It's the best reality show on TV.

Will "Basketball Wives" Ratings Suffer Without Evelyn Lozada

Evelyn Lozada

Will the ratings for the VH-1 reality show "Basketball Wives" suffer without its star, Evelyn Lozada, who reportedly quit the show after the network re-posted a rumor about her cheating on fiancé football player Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson.

"Basketball Wives LA"

The spin off of the show "Basketball Wives LA" is not doing very well. Producer Shaunie O’Neal expected another hit and one would think that would be the case as Los Angeles is filled with pretty women, no not like the movie, who have or had relationships with NBA athletes.

Shaunie O'Neal

The Judiciary Report is of the belief, O’Neal picked the wrong people for the program, hence the lower ratings than the original reality show. Then again, a lot of women affiliated with NBA athletes do not want to upset their mates by joining the scandalous show.

Shaunie O’Neal Gives The Impression She Is Clueless About Evelyn Lozada’s Announced Departure From Basketball Wives

"Basketball Wives" producer, Shaunie O’Neal, made an appearance on the Wendy Williams Show and seemed to be denying all responsibility for the content of the contentious, sexually charged show, by stating she has simply brought women of different types together (also known as a pimp). That's like saying you brought several tigers together, let them loose, but you are somehow not responsible for the damage that ensued. Give it up, Shaunie Springer. This is your fault.

On another note, O'Neal denies all knowledge of costar, Evelyn Lozada, leaving "Basketball Wives." O'Neal said Lozada told her no such thing (uh, but she told everybody else on Twitter - check your timeline). It gives the impression that Lozada's announcement was another publicity stunt for ratings to see if she will come back and more money, via another salary increase. She received a raise last time she threw the same tantrum. Either way, she is the star of the show.

Evelyn Lozada

I'll give the women on the show credit, they are all naturally pretty and that's something money can't buy, because Hollywood has some freak shows of bad plastic surgery, bad hairdos, bad make-up and bad clothes running around. These women have their look together. While it is refreshing to see women on television, whose faces are not jacked from bad plastic surgery, there is too much fighting and cussing on "Basketball Wives." Some may like it, but some do not.

Malawi Judge Runs Madonna Out Of Court And Citizens Demand Their Land Back From Her

Judge Dismisses Madonna's Crooked Legal Maneuver Against Defrauded Malawians

Vile troublemaker Mad-onna

Judge Jack Nriva, of the nation of Malawi, has dismissed a lawsuit by pop tart Madonna, who sued to get the African court to declare, she did not have to pay the salaries of employees of her fraudulent charity, Raising Malawi. Madonna cheated them out of promised pay for their labor. How dirty. Some of them quit higher paying jobs to work for the crazy singer's charity.

However, she used her employees suffering, impoverished nation's name in the international community, to evoke sympathy and raise tens of millions of dollars that never made it to their shores, having been stolen by Madonna and her Kabbalah buddies, who lavishly spent the money on themselves, buying luxury cars, property and vacations, with the pilfered charity money.

Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world, struggling with poverty and malnutrition. For Madonna to have gone all over the world soliciting millions on behalf of starving Africans, then stolen the money with her sick cult, Kabbalah, makes her one of the most despicable people on the planet. She is truly evil.

Madonna is always disrespecting and abusing black people, as she clearly thinks we are slaves. She is an absolute disgrace. The woman never did an honest day's work in her life, but is going around engaging in modern day slavery against blacks. How repugnant.

In other news, after the deranged madwoman Madonna bulldozed an entire African village full of homes, for her so-called girls school she did not intend to go through with, then abandoned after groundbreaking and stealing many millions in charity money, hiding some of it in the Cayman Islands, villagers are demanding their land back from the insane reprobate.

She did not even pay them for their land for quite sometime, causing the government to clash with villagers they forced to leave, to make way for the school Madonna lied to them about building. However, when the government pressed the issue with her, she gave them far less money than the land is worth.

Madonna has done them so much harm with her lies and thievery. She is not sorry for what she has done to the country of Malawi, flinging herself around America and London, making luxury purchases and grinning for the paparazzi she tips off for publicity. She belongs in prison.

Malawi court dismisses legal action by Madonna

(AFP) – Aug 16, 2011 - BLANTYRE — A Malawi court on Tuesday dismissed a legal action by US pop diva Madonna to prevent her charity project from being sued by former employees for unfair dismissal and non-payment of benefits. "It would be premature to remove (Raising Malawi Inc) RMI from the case because several issues of employee-employer relationship, economic realities and group liability have been raised," according to a ruling by Jack Nriva, deputy chairperson of the industrial relations court.

Nriva said it would be "premature and hasty to bar the applicants from suing RMI. In all fairness, I believe the application to remove RMI as party herein ought to be, and is hereby dismissed." He said it would be less prejudicial to RMI if it remains as party to the proceedings. Eight staff members of Raising Malawi Academy for Girls (RMAG) lodged the action at the end of March, claiming they were let go without proper procedures...

Remember When I Wrote That Joke About Obama...

Barack Obama

Last Saturday in the November 27, 2010 article "Obama Lip Buster Found" the Judiciary Report joked about, Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, regarding Obama's lip that was split open during a basketball game with federal workers, " Dude, that was not the best way to protest not getting a pay raise."

Two days later, Obama has announced there will be no pay raises for federal workers, proposing a two year freeze. Well, well, well, Barack is being a bitter Betty after the ball game. I'm only kidding, as the government really can't afford pay increases. To issue them would do even more damage to the national budget.

In other news, the President was back on the basketball court today. However, he played against two easy targets - his preteen daughters. Clearly, the President is suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Lip Disorder. I don't know, Obama's oldest is getting kind of tall. He might catch another errant elbow.
