Questions about: Iranian election outcome, weapons in Syria – change in policy, NSA Leaks, State Department Scandals, IRS Targeting of Conservatives
(VIA New York Post) Hip-hop artist The Game has got your back … side.
Days after New Jersey resort town Wildwood passed a law banning saggy pants on its boardwalk, the rapper slammed the legislation as “racist” and promised to pick up the tab for the first five people ticketed.
In an interview with TMZ, The Game compared the law, passed Wednesday that imposes a $25 fine for first offenders and up to $200 for repeat offenders, to “slave days” and encouraged people to openly flout the law.
“N***** should sag down to their socks out there. They trying to get people to not sag, please. Can’t tell people how to wear their f***ing clothes. What time are we in? This ain’t the f***ing slave days. F*** that.” (read more)
… such is the bizarre reality of George Zimmerman’s attorney, Mark O’Mara.
Before getting into the substance of this consideration – multiple disclaimers are needed.
It is a sad reality the previous sentence even needs to be advanced, but it has become a necessary consideration. Because discussion of Mark O’Mara is so toxic and divisive, if we don’t quantify the substance of presentation with disclaimers we’ll spend a ridiculous amount of time having to moderate, explain and explain again.
We have approached both opinion and research on Mark O’Mara using the exact same methodology applied to all other parties in this case. People like Benjamin Crump, Natalie Jackson, Daryl Parks, Ryan Julison, Francis Oliver, et al, and even the media people like Daralene Jones, Matt Gutman, Frances Robles, Joy-Ann Reid etc. The exact same critical research approach has been applied.
Some people cannot accept using a critical lens to look at the O’Mara aspect. Many of those people are no longer here because of their inherent constitution not to be open-minded in the same regard.
What sets the Treehouse apart from most all others, is analysis based on research to apply the most logical explanations, Occam’s Razor, to some of the most difficult to understand aspects of any issue. The State of Florida V Zimmerman is one of the most challenging to understand from a perspective of intent and motivation. (more…)
Pained, troubled and brave–those are the sentiments, turned adjectives, I would use to describe the word-image when reading the recently published book by Robert Zimmerman Sr.
Knowing the Zimmerman family found some form of understanding through the research we had compiled last year surrounding the entire scheme to arrest George Zimmerman is good. Reading the words of George’s father, Robert, we can grasp the feeling of being overwhelmed. ‘Fleas looking into the furnace of hate’ is how we visualized them last year.
The recent publication outlines that sense with profound affirmation.
As followers of this site will know by now, there was a time several months ago when all of my available options were exhausted. Our promise of intellectual honesty demanded we not pull punches, and speak the truth openly and directly regardless of consequence. But when it came to honest discussion of George’s legal counsel, Mark O’Mara, we knew the ground was precarious and filled with invisible land mines. Trepidations were overwhelming.
So reluctantly, out of fear of undermining George Zimmerman’s defense, and yet the need for a necessarily dictated honesty, we reached out to his Dad. (more…)
Quick note from Robert Sr Follows: (Edit for privacy content) […] I believe from your experience in dealing with the media in Orlando, as well as elsewhere, you can see that’s [it’s] not an easy task. However, I am publishing a book on Amazon /Nook that should be available either Fri or Sat. (Florida v. Zimmerman Uncovering the Malicious Prosecution of My Son, George)
I thank CTH and contributors in the book. (Wave, Wave)
Sincerely, our family truly appreciates the work CTH has done.

Hat Tip Sal Paradise – Typical Progs: When the Democrat Chairman of the NJ Law and Public Safety committee realizes the Gun control bill will not pass, he cancels the vote.
Today, June 13th is DAY #4 of the scheduled State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case. Continuing jury selection. Yesterday the Court continued its preliminary questioning of prospective jurors, moving through 10 candidates by the end of the day.
As was the case previously, questions were limited to how much exposure the prospective juror had to the case through the media and other channels, as well as how that may have impacted their opinion of the case. There was also some speculation yesterday the defense believed a jury might be seated by the middle of next week. In addition, it was disclosed that a total of 71 jurors have been dismissed at this point.
Another 100 were summoned today, but are on call and do not have to report immediately to the court house. There was also a notable increase in questioning by both the State and the defense about the prospective juror’s use of social media. There was little of this on Monday, but it’s become an increasing focus of questioning since then. There also seemed to be an increased interest in whether the prospective jurors were active in church. (more…)
Read The research taking place in the comments section and you will begin to grasp exactly how encompassing the rot is behind this case. Sooner or later a nation will wake up to what the CRS actually is all about. Like say,…. well,….. for example that one of President Obama’s Pastors’ is there today:
Pastor Joel Hunter (left) of the Northland church – arrives with Pastor Quintin Faison (center) of Rescue Church of God, and Pastor Marvin Scott of Second Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church, in Sanford, Fla. at the George Zimmerman trial.
Today after trial for jury selection Trayvon’s™ Mom, Sybrina, and Trayvon’s™ Dad, Tracy, gave a press conference. However, just before they delivered their prepared remarks something serendipitous happened in the courtroom which brings a profound irony when contrast against their prepared statement.
#TrayvonMartin family attorneys just emailed out text of the statement Crump gave after #GeorgeZimmerman jury selection today. Here it is:
“Today on the third day of the jury selection in the Trayvon Martin murder trial we are inspired by the honesty of the potential jurors. Their answers have been forthright and we have faith that the justice system and the members of the public who are selected for the jury will perform their civic duty in a fair and impartial manner.
Yesterday, former NYPD detective Harry Houck commented to FOX that Trayvon would be alive today if he didn’t have a “street attitude.” This comment, made on a live panel, is reprehensible and extremely reminiscent of the victim blaming rhetoric we saw a year ago. We all know Trayvon Martin was an unarmed teenager, who’d just bought Skittles and a tea on a chilly Florida evening in February. George Zimmerman was an armed adult who followed Trayvon down a street, pursued him and then shot him.
We are calling on the media to refuse to perpetuate victim blaming and irresponsible characterizations of Trayvon. The evidence shows there is no blood on Trayvon’s hands. Trayvon is not on trial here, he is the victim. Trayvon’s killer, George Zimmerman, is the man who is on trial.”
I’ve begun using the term usurpation to describe this administration, and the co-dependents/ willfully blind who support it.
The NSA intelligence data mining is clearly unconstitutional under the 4th amendment. The IRS targeting based on political ideology is also illegal and unconstitutional. The Dept of Justice manipulating warrants (lying to judges) to gather phone records on AP reporters and Fox’s James Rosen is a clear usurpation of the 1st amendment.
Now the latest usurpation can be seen in the Obama administration using an Executive Order to create de-facto amnesty (XO-Dream Act); And then to make matters worse – they stop the criminal background checks and ID requirements under such a program. So anyone can enter the U.S. claim to be whoever they want, and no criminal background check will be done.
And the Congresscritters are worried about Terrorists benefitting from the NSA leaker? How about they apply the same consideration (ie worry) about open borders without checks for those who cross them and then apply for Dream Act protections? (more…)
