I’m telling ya, this is de-ja-vu all over again…. As expected, the golfer-in-chief looks into his political 8-ball and says about Syria – pick the course of action that makes me look strong, makes me look good enough, not wanting to be mocked……   Nuf said.    He knows he’s turning this into a win for al-Qaeda, but he needs it to look like he’s magnanimous or something…. 
Remember in Libya, the Golfer even defied his own Office of Legal Council advice, and violated the central restrictions on his own executive power… 

Jeh C. Johnson, the Pentagon general counsel, and Caroline D. Krass, the acting head of the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel, had told the White House that they believed that the United States military’s activities in the NATO-led air war amounted to “hostilities.” Under the War Powers Resolution, that would have required Mr. Obama to terminate or scale back the mission after May 20.  [2012 link]

President Obama ignored them, dispatched them for other advisors who would agree with his own pre-conceived Power/Rice/Clinton/Jarrett agenda.  So essentially, anything goes in his own mind – so long as the politics of it can be steered in his favor…
(Via LA Times)  The apparent poison gas attack that killed hundreds of Syrian civilians last week is testing President Obama’s views on military intervention, international law and the United Nations as no previous crisis has done. (more…)

When asked why George Zimmerman was not in the courtroom for his wife’s plea hearing Wednesday, Sims would only say, “That’s an excellent question.”  (link)

Shellie Zimmerman misled the court because she had been told by others to say  “maybe that’s not my money,” her attorney, Kelly Sims, said after the hearing.  (link)

Given recent CTH events – is this just random serendipity?

(Via iOTW) Brandon was a left-wing activist who made a name for himself during Katrina relief efforts.
In 2008, during the Republican National Convention, arrests of some violent left-wing radicals were made. It was this event that forced Brandon out of the shadows and it was revealed that he was an FBI informant.
Now Darby is on “our side,” writing for Breitbart.com.
Brandon Darby often works with another recent convert, Lee Stranahan.

…. and people ask me: why not try to engage the guys on “our team”?…. 

As you will see, I have actually tried not to write this.   However, it must be done.
Most of you are now aware for some reason a journalist named Lee Stranahan, representing the Andrew Breitbart media community, took occasion yesterday to attack The Conservative Tree House in general, and myself particularly.

Stranahan used his Twitter feed yesterday to announce his intentions, starting around 9:30 am on Sunday August 25th.
The actual construct of the slander began early in the morning….

@JDreamer731 I have a very specific example but I'm not talking explicitly about it. Yet.

— Lee Stranahan (@stranahan) August 25, 2013

…..then increased throughout the day, and culminated in his airing a radio broadcast with Ryan Julison, the Trayvon Martin family Public Relations Spokesperson and Media consultant, joining Stranahan for the show.
What transpired, and the truth behind the backstory -which drove the attack- is quite alarming.  It also reflects just how vulnerable the media and journalists are to selling Media Consultant storylines and becoming willful accomplices to fraud.
Their promotion of the fraud makes them willful accomplices. (more…)

Many people are noticing the uptick in young black males attacking, and in some recent cases, killing, white people.  One of the connections that joins them all appears just below the surface.   Each of these events are connected, and each of these connections are being totally ignored by the media.
Let’s just look at who was murdered in the last week:

89-year-old Delbert Belton Murdered (left)

27-year-old Nurse, David Santucci (right)

23-year-old Student, Chris Lane (center)

All of the people involved in the murders, and most of their accomplices, have a self-identified position of advocacy for Trayvon Martin via their own social media accounts.   Yet the legacy media, the national press, appear to completely disconnect themselves from this IN_YOUR_FACE similarity.
However, the sheer open advocacy of this Justice For Trayvon™ motive is enough to make you look deeper to see if there really is a Trayvon Martin related violent pattern here.
If you do a little research, and I do mean ‘just a little’, into news articles – what you find is STAGGERING. (more…)

First up The White Guilt Queer Fem College Professor – Capitalism and white supremacy both played roles in the killing of Trayvon Martin, a public university professor said last Thursday.

Dr. Erica R. Meiners, a professor in the Gender and Women’s Studies Department at Northeastern Illinois University, made the remarks while speaking on a panel of self-described “queer feminist scholars.”
“[T]he web of interconnected histories and contexts that made it possible for George Zimmerman to shoot Trayvon Martin and walk away cannot be separated from white supremacy, colonialism, heteromasculinity, and capitalism,” said Meiners. (more…)

Yikes !…..  Well, it does not get much clearer than this:

• The mass murder of white people. His site says, “warfare is eminent, and in order for Black people to survive the 21st century, we are going to have to kill a lot of whites – more than our christian hearts can possibly count.”

He’s either going to get quickly promoted, or he’ll become a paid pundit for MSNBC.
(Via The Atlantic)  A Department of Homeland Security employee who works on, among other things, the procurement of guns and ammunition for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, spends his nights and weekends preparing for a coming race war and advocating for anti-gay causes, according to a new report from the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Meet Ayo Kimathi, a.k.a. “the Irritated Genie,” who told his bosses at the DHS that his anti-white, anti-gay site, “War is on the Horizon,” was just an entertainment site that sells concert and lecture videos.
You see, DHS employees, even those with office jobs like Kimathi’s, have to get outside activities approved by their supervisors, according to the SPLC. Kimathi’s former supervisor told the watchdog group, which tracks hate speech and groups in the U.S., that despite her former employee’s banal description of his extracurricular activities, the actual content of the site left her “stunned.” (more…)

SANFORD  FLORIDA —   Attorneys for George Zimmerman’s wife, Shellie Zimmerman, have deferred a hearing that was supposed to take place Wednesday. Instead, a status conference on her upcoming trial will be held next week.
Shellie Zimmerman is facing perjury charges for lying in court about how much money the couple had during a bond hearing for her husband. Her perjury case was put on hold until after her husband’s murder trial.  [… because it is ridiculous /SD]
Those expected to testify at her upcoming trial include George’s sister, a court reporter and investigators from the state attorney’s office.  (link)

The left-wing ideologues are on the wrong side of just about everything when it comes to the United States Constitution.
A recent case in point comes from last night’s Piers Morgan show and his panelist Star Jones.  They were discussing the recent Oklahoma (Chris Lane) shooting, and as expected they both immediately attempt to attach “gun control” to the issue.   [unfortunately I cannot find a video, however here is the transcript – the emphasis mine]

Via CNN […] MORGAN: The father of Christopher Lane speaking out about the thrill kill murder of his son, the senseless violence that’s shocking America and Australia. All three suspects accused in this horrific crime are teenagers.

Regardless of what you think of him – REMINDER:  We would never know, nor be having this conversation, were it not for Snowden.
WASHINGTON DC – The National Security Agency’s (NSA) reach covers about 75 percent of all U.S. Internet traffic through a slew of partnerships with some of the largest telecom companies in the country, according to a Wall Street Journal report released late Tuesday.
According to the report, gathered from interviews with current and former government officials and telecom industry workers, telecom companies like AT&T filter the data for the NSA, but in looking for communications that begin or end outside of the country, often sweep up unrelated domestic communications.
In addition, the surveillance network at times retains the content of emails and phone calls sent between U.S. citizens as part of a dragnet meant to capture correspondences between foreign targets.
The NSA defended the practice, telling the Journal that if domestic communications are “incidentally collected during NSA’s lawful signals intelligence activities,” that the agency follows “minimization procedures that are approved by the U.S. attorney general and designed to protect the privacy of United States persons.” (read more)
