The Minnesota Department of Public Safety issued a press release today announcing the suspension of a drug recognition program conducted by the Minnesota State Patrol. The program was exposed earlier this month by activists and members of Communities United Against Police Brutality in Minneapolis.

Prior to the press release, Eric Roeske, a State Patrol public information officer, said, “there’s been no evidence or no information that has been presented to us that would substantiate any of the allegations,” City Pages reports today.

“Our investigation points to particular efforts to target and recruit youth,” ostensibly for a program designed to train police in detecting drivers under the influence of drugs, Infowars.comreported on May, 2012.

Alleged fraud at JP Morgan.  Who could have guessed?

A federal class action lawsuit is making some strong allegations against JPMorgan Chase, claiming the  lender routinely fabricates documents to deceive bankruptcy judges into believing Chase is the beneficiary in bankruptcy cases, and goes so far as to Photoshop documents to “create the illusion” of standing “in tens of thousands of bankruptcy cases.”

According to the JPMorgan Chase bankruptcy fraud class action lawsuit, “Chase is engaged in the business practice of deceiving bankruptcy judges, Chapter 7 trustees, Chapter 11 trustees, Chapter 13 trustees, the Office of the United States Trustee, creditors, creditor attorneys, debtors in possession, debtors and debtors attorneys as to Chase’s status as a secured creditor in tens of thousands of bankruptcy cases filed nationwide.”

Among the numerous allegations in the Chase bankruptcy fraud class action lawsuit, Chase is alleged to have:

1. engaged in perjury, fraud and intentional misrepresentation by manufacturing a chain of title transfer evidence in order to falsely prove it stands in thousands of bankruptcy matters; and

2. used manufactured evidence to deceive the bankruptcy court and other bankruptcy players as to the identity of the true beneficiary or creditor of Class Members’ non-negotiable promissory notes (MLNs).

A copy of the Chase Bankruptcy Fraud Class Action Lawsuit can be read here.

The case is Ernest Michael Bakenie v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Case No. SACV12-0060 JVS (MLGx), U.S. District Court, Central District of California.

The joke is still on us.

Herman Cain has officially announced that he is suspending his campaign after stretching out and milking this announcement for several wasted hours of television. Trying to boost his ego and show off his massive campaign headquarters, Cain hid behind the curtain for hours and hours before making his highly publicized official announcement. In fact, over the course of three and a half hours, the on-scene Fox News reporter repeatedly said, “He’s coming on in just under ten minutes now.” Why is this point even important? Well, it just shows the type of character that Herman Cain is, he’s an egomaniacal thin-skinned narcissist that is constantly fishing for acceptance and love from just as hypocritical “constitutional” Tea Party supporters that continually put all their eggs in the worst baskets. I miss the original Tea Party that had similar ideas to Ron Paul. You know, back before they were co-opted by the Republican Party when the GOP princess Sarah Palin jumped on the grassroots bandwagon and warned us all of the ferocity of “mama grizzlies”.

Back to the big exit of Mr. Cain; early reports suggested that Cain’s wife Gloria was adamant that he needed to drop out, due to the strain the campaign and the sexual harassment allegations were having on their marriage and their family. In a show of union, his wife came out with him to make his announcement while that lame and hokey “I Am America” song blared through the speakers. The crowd immediately chanted “Gloria! Gloria! Gloria!” before Spermin’ Herman could even get out a word. I wonder if Herman was a bit upset when his wife came out and stole his thunder?

Stepping up to the mic like Big Daddy Kane in his prime, Big Grandaddy Cain proceeded to give his typical heartfelt emotionally charged speech full of God references. Cain also painted out how bad ass he feels that he is. Sipping on a big ass jar of Bad Motherfucker Juice, Cain wanted all of us to know that he is the illest M.C. in the game and that no suckas better jock his shit!

In the end, he wasted our time. To parade himself around on television all day and to not give us a real decision by flat out saying “I’m out, y’all!” just adds to the ridiculousness of this whole charade. You see, this is the essence of Herman Cain, a man that can’t make decisions that have any sort of finality. This campaign was all about Mr. Cain and once things got a little too out of hand, he was ready to step off and really, that’s great. Why? Because we don’t need a selfish prick out for his own self-interest occupying the Oval Office. Well, at least with the campaign suspended, he can focus more of his time on acquiring more bitches to bite him in the ass further down the road. He can also continue his book tour and lobby for a Fox News contract. Maybe by 2016 homeboy could run for president again, as long as he keeps his hoes in check and makes sure that they don’t come nipping at his ankles. Where I sit however, I hope he’s done. Just get a show following Huckabee on Saturday nights and collect the checks man! Mikey Huck has this game figured out. Trust me dude, follow Huck’s example.

Cain ended his soulless speech with more lyrics from a Pokemon song. No really, he quoted Pokemon again! And he even admitted that he was quoting Pokemon! Yep, the joke’s on us! The problem with this is, is that this campaign has been a huge fucking farce and when Cain is exposed by many in the media for giving us nothing more than kabuki theatre, he just relishes in it and feeds into it ever more! This was just another prime example of that and as advertising legend Don Draper once said, “Why should we waste time on kabuki?” Herman Cain basically told Rachel Maddow, Jon Stewart and everyone else that has called him out for being a mediocre actor playing a poor character in a bad college play to “STFU because the joke that is the Cain Train is still chugging along!” Unfortunately for Spermin’ Herman, the train has been derailed by several variables, not just those that are pointing Lee Press-On Nails at his twig and berries.

And that’s what really gets me. Cain supporters are pissed at these countless “unjust” accusations that a sea of morally vacant women are throwing at him. I actually wrote a 6,000 word article on how Cain is a horrible choice for president and it was published before any sexual allegations even came forward. However, Cain Brains turn away from their messiah’s real faults and try to blame his current misfortune on these numerous scandals because it is apparently easier to blame someone else than to accept the fact that your guy is an idiot who continually gets stumped on kindergarten level questions. Go read my article “How Could You Vote for Herman Cain” to see seven solid reasons, none of them scandalous, as to why this guy is a shitty candidate. But yeah, it’s the sexual allegations that were the harbinger of death to the Cain campaign.

As far as the scandals go, I could see calling one or two or maybe even three “a bunch of bullshit” but there are more than half a dozen now and I just don’t see that many women coming forward if there isn’t at least some truth behind some of these allegations. The whole theory that the liberals are out to destroy this man is just fucking stupid. Why would liberals want to get Cain out of the race when at one point, he had a real chance at winning this whole thing? Liberals want this guy to face Obama because they know that he wouldn’t be able to elevate himself to the big leagues. It doesn’t matter that Obama is a lying bastard who panders and spews bullshit. Obama is the best at it and whether he could deliver any real substance or not is a moot point because either way, he would’ve eaten Cain for breakfast. If that observation pisses you off, you may need to look at yourself and figure out why you put your blind faith into this unproven unelected businessman who is touted for his roaring success even though his pizza chain is only the 9th biggest in the country. I bet Fox News had you thinking that Godfather’s Pizza was on the same level as Papa John’s, Dominoes or Pizza Hut. Nope, not even close. Sorry, but I want the best leader for the best nation in the world, not the ninth best pizza CEO handing out 999 deals that no one wants.

After the man suspended his campaign, I slept well knowing that many of the Cain Brains cried themselves to sleep that night. At least those that wasted their whole day at that event got free barbecue. Shit, that’s more than what I got wasting my time in front of the television waiting to hear the fantastic news that Herman Cain was a quitter that disappointed his supporters. However, were they disappointed because they invested in a guy who took their money and walked away? Nope, they were disappointed that their hero wasn’t going to get to scream “nine! nine! nine!” at Obama repeatedly during crucial debates. Cain was a splinter in the eye of the GOP but too many people couldn’t see it because that splinter was already lodged into their retinas. Well, at least all of those who sent this man money can relish in the fact that they just paid for his overly elaborate book tour. In reality, I feel that this was just some publicity stunt to sell books to his gullible Cain Brains that just wanted something real to believe in.

What pisses me off the most, is that I met this guy, I talked to him and he seemed like a stand up dude. Of course, this is before he announced his candidacy and before I even looked into his track record and studied up on him. Once looking at the facts, my feelings for the guy changed and it amazes me that I was only one of a slight few that did. In fact, as this guy’s campaign went on and no matter how many times he fucked up, people kept jumping on the Cain Train. What boggles my mind even more than all of this is the large amount of people who have been forced off of this Cain Train and are now backing Ron Paul. Really? Because these two men are complete opposites ideologically. Hell, I’ve actually seen comments from people all over the Internet that are calling for a Paul/Cain ticket in 2012! Are you kidding me? This just goes to show how disconnected the typical Cain Brain is from knowing anything about policy other than what they hear casually from Rush Limbaugh or their Tea Party friends who are now more concerned with social standing in their political coffee group over actual substance.

I hope that this is the last Herman Cain article that I ever have to write. I hope that he fades away into nothingness and lives out his life in peace and quiet trying to convince his wife that those dozen women he may have slept with are just crazy vampire bitches out to drink his blood. At the end of the day, Cain’s got 999 problems, and each one’s a bitch. Gloria Cain probably deserves better.

Unfortunately, Cain will be around forever. Even if he doesn’t get an exclusive Fox News contract, he will make appearances on all their shows giving his two cents; hopefully he isn’t asked anything about foreign policy. The truth is, we are stuck with this guy now. He’s loved by many and he provides good sound bites. This may actually be his calling, as running for the highest office in the world just wasn’t his cup of tea. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate the guy; I just need a break. Shit, I think we all do.

The best part about all of this, is that we never have to see cigarette-smoking Mark Block staring all hard at us through the television right before Cain gives us that slow and creepy “I just fucked you in the ass” smirk. Yeah, he really did fuck us all in the ass; that million dollar smirk is all the evidence I need. At least these two loons gave us one of the worst campaign ads in history.

As Reason Magazine stated just after Cain’s announcement: “It’s over for the Cain Train, which was wrecked by its candidate’s ultimate lack of seriousness.”

His campaign rocked anew, a feistyHerman Cain claimed a “groundswell of positive support” from backers on Wednesday and accused critics of trying to derail hisWhite House bid as he worked to stem the fallout from allegations of a 13-year extramarital affair.

“They’re attacking my character, my reputation and my name in order to try to bring me down,” a feisty Cain told a friendly crowd without naming his critics. “But, you see, I don’t believe that America is going to let that happen.”

Questions about the campaign’s viability hovered over Cain’s one-day bus tour through Ohio.

Reporters flocked to Herman Cain’s Iowa headquarters in Urbandale Tuesday night after Michele Bachmann’s state chairman tweeted that moving trucks were sitting outside the offices of a candidate who said he’s “reassessing” his campaign.

The catch: They weren’t moving trucks, but delivery trucks full of campaign signs.

The Bachmann aide, Iowa Sen. Kent Sorenson tweeted: “Moving trucks at Herman Cains office in Bachmann’s Iowa office is in the same office complex as Cain’s.

2:18 p.m. | Updated Herman Cain told members of his campaign staff on Tuesday that he was reassessing whether to proceed with his presidential campaign, an aide confirmed, a day after an Atlanta woman disclosed details of what she said was a 13-year affair with him.

In a morning conference call with his advisers, Mr. Cain said that he would make a decision in the coming days about whether to stay in the race after his campaign was rocked by another round of allegations about his sexual conduct.

The call, which was first reported by National Review, came as Mr. Cain was heading to Michigan for a campaign stop on Tuesday evening. He said that he was discussing the future of his campaign with his family and was considering his options.

In a devastating blow to businessman Herman Cain’s presidential ambitions, the American Mustache Institute–a group which had previously lavished rapturous praise on the former Godfather’s Pizza CEO–announced it was rescinding its official endorsement of the GOP field’s only mustachioed candidate.

In withdrawing its endorsement, the group cited recent allegations made against Cain, including their own tongue-in-cheek accusations: That the advertising at Godfather’s Pizza was misleading and that his mustache could be a fake. (Unlike Ron Paul’s eyebrows, Cain’s mustache is, in fact, real.)

“Amid a storm of allegations levied against Herman Cain, the American Mustache Institute today announced it had rescinded its endorsement for his presidential candidacy,” the organization, a nonprofit charity and “the world’s leading facial hair advocacy organization,” announced in a statement Wednesday. “[M]embers of the AMI administration said they could not in good conscience support his candidacy on behalf of the powerful Mustached American electorate.”

My Two Cents: This guy has thin skin like a MFer. Earlier today the Cain campaign retracted THEIR own unfounded accusation at Rick Perry’s campaign staff. Now they are entertaining the idea of suing Politico for running a story about Cain possibly having a shady past? If Sarah Palin didn’t sue over all the crazy bullshit they said about her, why should Mr. Cain who has barely dealt with the wrath she did? C’mon dude, man up. You chose to play this dirty game. Welcome to the big leagues kids, it’s time to stop playing t-ball. End Two Cents.

A Herman Cain aide said Thursday that the Cain campaign is considering its legal options over the original Politico story, which revealed that the former head of the National Restaurant Association was accused of sexually harassing at least two women during his tenure in the 1990s.

“This is likely not over with Politico from a legal perspective,” a campaign official told the Post, stopping short of explaining what exactly he meant by taking legal action against the publication.

The Cain campaign has had an attorney advising it since Saturday on crisis management, which hasn’t gone particularly well for Cain since the story broke Sunday night.
