Question: I’ve been on the side of Zimmerman is Not Guilty etc ever since the evidence started showing up, next to none of it even *remotely* suggesting a crime, and all the circumstantial stuff that people claim make him guilty I know is so easy to explain in light of the facts…except for one.
The lack of GZ’s blood on Trayvon’s hands. I know breaking a nose wouldn’t put any blood there, bashing in his head, etc. I know it’s possible to give one hell of a beating and end up with no bruising or blood on your hands.
But putting your hands over someone’s nose and mouth after the nose is broken and bleeding…has it been answered somewhere how that blood didn’t get on Trayvon’s hands? (A mixed DNA profile on one sleeve *could* explain it but that seems thin). (more…)

SANFORD – George Zimmerman‘s defense attorney was expected to do the predictable thing: beg the judge’s forgiveness and ask him to again let the Neighborhood Watch volunteer go free until his trial on a second-degree murder charge.
Instead, Mark O’Mara swung for the fences. He put on a dramatic three-hour murder defense and submitted a pile of evidence designed to prove Zimmerman’s innocence.

It left the judge with hours of evidence to review and no chance to make a quick decision. It is not clear when Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester Jr. will announce his ruling.
The bottom line, according to O’Mara, is that Trayvon Martin beat and bloodied his client, pounded his head into a sidewalk and wound up “shot and killed because of his own doing.” (more…)

The term “Honest Democrat” is quickly becoming an oxymoron. Elizabeth Warren NOW tries to rewrite history and claim she was never in favor of a single-payer Healthcare System.   Insufferable…..

President Obama’s White House Chief of Staff, Jack Lew, Asked About Invoking Executive Privilege On Fast And Furious: We’re The “Most Transparent” Administration Ever…. Tried keeping a straight face to.

Here’s ONE

Democrats have perpetrated the biggest tax fraud on the American people ever.   First, to get the law passed they insisted the funding was NOT a tax.   Then they argued before the court it was a tax.  After the Supreme Court agreed and called it a tax, now Democrats try to say it is NOT a tax again…. 

Jack Lew, the Obama White House Chief of Staff, was trying to persuade Chris Wallace on FOX News Sunday that Obamacare was not a tax. But it didn’t work out so well for Lew when Wallace played audio of the Obama lawyer arguing that Obamacare was a tax in front of the Supreme Court. Lew was speechless after being caught in his lie.

Many people continuing to absorb the recent SCOTUS Healthcare ObamaNation… A few questions pass through my own personal mind:  
FIRST – If the healthcare insurance “mandate” is an allowable, albeit unavoidable, taxation passed on citizens regardless of their economic inactivity then what happens to all those “waivers” granted?   A non-congressional federal department, in this case HHS, cannot lawfully “waiver” taxation?
SECOND – If the first dime of healthcare coverage is now considered taxation, because the first moment of non-engagement in activity is considered taxable, then all healthcare premium expenditures are taxes and therefore automatically deducted from taxable income right?   I mean the only way to collect the taxation is through employment activity, ie. income, and if income expenditures on healthcare coverage are now considered taxes, then they should be deductible from income from the first dime.  No?
(Economist)  AS PETER SUDERMAN of Reason put it, “Some coup”. The individual mandate passes constitutional muster after all. Crisis of legitimacy averted! Akhil Reed Amar’s life has not been a fraud!
However, according to the majority decision by John Roberts, the Supreme Court’s conservative chief justice, the mandate cannot be justified on commerce-clause grounds. Indeed, Mr Roberts wholly affirms the argument that the commerce clause cannot regulate economic inactivity. From the syllabus of the decision: (more…)

If you watched the hearing last week you saw an awkward exchange between Darrell Issa and Elijah Cummings.   Cummings accused Issa of questioning his integrity, and was shocked, shocked I tell ya, shocked.  Well, lo and behold by quietly entering the wire tap letter into the record Issa just proved that Cummings is indeed a liar.  
HatTip WeeWeed (Via Roll Call) In the midst of a fiery floor debate over contempt proceedings for Attorney General Eric Holder, House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) quietly dropped a bombshell letter into the Congressional Record.

The May 24 letter to Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), ranking member on the panel, quotes from and describes in detail a secret wiretap application that has become a point of debate in the GOP’s “Fast and Furious” gun-walking probe. (more…)

It all seems to come together now – Obama Contributor, Who Helped Enact Assault-Weapons Ban, Ran ‘Fast and Furious’…
(CNSNews.com) — Dennis K. Burke, who as a lawyer for the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee in the 1990s was a key player behind the enactment of the 1994 assault-weapons ban, and who then went on to become Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano’s chief of staff, and contributor to Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential primary campaign, and a member of Obama’s transition team focusing on immigration issues, ended up in the Obama administration as the U.S. attorney in Arizona responsible for overseeing Operation Fast and Furious.

When Obama nominated Burke to be U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona, Burke told the Arizona Capitol Times he believed he understood what the president and his attorney general wanted him to do. (more…)

Democrats realize how much sh!t they just walked into with the SCOTUS approval of Obamacare yet the TRUTH of funding being actually and specifically a TAX.

The lawyer, Michael Carvin, who argued before the Supreme Court, has admitted that President Obama committed an intentional act of fraud on the American people.   The payment mechanism for ObamaCare was always a “tax”, it was represented internally within the White House discussion as a “tax”, and argued by the administration, successfully, that it was a taxing authority issue to the Supreme Court.
Specifically Carvin presents the case that President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid intentionally, and with specific and pre-planned forethought, met with their party representatives to conspire and strategize on hiding the language of taxation. (more…)

Prog Talking Point Deconstruction provided by Sarah Palin.

IPAB is a panel of 15 unelected and unaccountable government bureaucrats that would essentially allocate Medicare funds, deciding on which specific care and medical proceedure to approve or reject. In order for the decision that the 15 bureaucrats that sit on the IPAB board make to be overturned, Congress would have to have a supermajority vote. Something that isn’t likely to happen very often.
Further prog deconstruction.   If “Death Panels” do not exist then why would a bi-partisan congressional committee be voting recently to eliminate them? (more…)
