We have officially entered a parallel universe. This would be comical if two border agents were not dead because of the insufferable stupidity of the DOJ and now President Obama’s blind protectionism of his guy Eric Holder.
Charlie Rangel claims Obama is using executive privilege to “Protect the Constitution“.

Please accept this in the spirit of intent: Any person(s), regardless of party affiliation, who will attempt to convey a message that President Obama, is in some manner or form, protecting the constitution, by lying, is an idiot.

Understand How Significant This Is

FLASHBACK – in October 2011 Obama specifically stated he was not informed of the Department of Justice operation known as Fast and Furious.

There was no ambiguity in this claim from President Obama circa October 6th 2011. He specifically and with unambiguous specificity stated he was unaware of the Fast and Furious operation (see video above).   Yet today, in an effort to protect Eric Holder, President Obama invokes executive privilege.

WASHINGTON DC – President Obama has granted an 11th-hour request by Attorney General Eric Holder to exert executive privilege over Fast and Furious documents, a last-minute maneuver that appears unlikely to head off a contempt vote against Holder by Republicans in the House.

Which begs the obvious question the media will not challenge the President on:

How can President Obama possibly assert executive privilege over internal deliberations he has previously claimed didn’t exist?

Wow, what a time to be an American

Russian President Vladimir Putin laughs uncontrollably at the weak little girly man called Barack. 
Back in October 2007 Barack Obama promised as president he would make the United States defenseless.

“I’m the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning. And as president I will end it. Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending. I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems. I will not weaponize space. I will slow our development of future combat systems. And I will institute an independent “Defense Priorities Board” to ensure that the Quadrennial Defense Review is not used to justify unnecessary spending. Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material; and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert, and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals.”

Now Barack Obama is going to unilaterally cut US nukes. (more…)

WARNING – If you are prone to big picture avoidance, or if intellectual honesty makes you uncomfortable, this is not the thread for you.
However, if you are open-minded, well versed in the consequential multi-dimensional politics of our time, and aware that little – if anything – ever happens in the abstract, then perhaps you might enjoy digging further.
There is a big picture here;  a big uncomfortable picture, and in fairness to everyone it needs to be discussed in the brightest sunlight.
To begin I will acknowledge that some TreeHouse members are/were slightly or perhaps even more than moderately annoyed at the level of focus placed upon the Trayvon Martin case by our refuge.  Indeed, it is has been a quite extensive and time-consuming endeavor, not by mere happenstance or by dismissive intention, but more by necessity.

Father’s Day Irony

Legacy Left Race-Baiter Version:   Al Sharpton released a statement calling Rodney King ” a symbol of civil rights and he represented the anti-police brutality and anti-racial profiling movement of our time,”  Additionaly, Sharpton said of King  “History will record that it was Rodney King’s beating and his actions that made America deal with the excessive misconduct of law enforcement.”

Legacy Left Media Version –   Rodney King, the man who was at the center of the infamous Los Angeles riots, was found dead this morning, TMZ has reported. He was 47. (more…)

HatTip Treeper JamesF – In the first video you hear Chad Green’s Dad discuss the Trayvon shooting. Chad Green is the 14 year old son of Brandy Green (Tracy Martin’s girlfriend). We are also going to add to this post the video interview of Chad/Brandy and Fox’s Craig Rivera.  (update – video added below)
Listen to Chad Green’s Dad describe the events of 2/26, then listen to video #2 where Chad and Brandy describe 2/26, then compare it to what is factually known of 2/26. This entire thing is riddled with lies and make believe. But, decide for yourself.

First Chad’s Dad:

MSNBC Panel Explodes As ‘Gun Owner’ S.E. Cupp Battles Gun Control Advocate  (Via Mediaite) MSNBC’s Now with Alex Wagner’s panel delved into gun control issues on Thursday which set off a heated yelling match between New York Daily News columnist S.E. Cupp and Dan Gross, President of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.

The panel became tense when Wagner opened with a discussion about proposed New York State legislation that would encode shell casings on bullets to more easily track those guns used in crimes. Major gun lobbies have opposed the legislation and at least one gun maker is threatening to pull their operation from New York if the bill passes. (more…)

Like many other issues that Progs Democrats enjoy re-writing history about, see KKK and Democrat Party or George Wallace Democrat Governor, the insufferable Democratic Party advocates are effectively selling a very specific false narrative and NOT being challenged.
For more than a week I have watched, read, listened to and absorbed multiple Democrat Politicians and Pundits/Pollsters selling a story that President George W Bush’s tax cuts increased the deficit.   THIS IS FLAT OUT FALSE.
It is not a conversation/talking point using semantics, parsed words and/or phrases; no, quite the opposite, they are selling this specific talking point as if it is an irrefutable truth. AGAIN, IT IS FLAT OUT FALSE.
The “2003 Jobs Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act” commonly known as the “Bush Tax Cuts” became effective for the 2004 fiscal year.   The Democrats charge that the Bush Tax Cuts reduced tax revenue is, actually, an outright lie.  Take a look at “Revenues” or how much money has come into, or been withheld from the Government because of Bush’s Tax rates.  The Bush Tax Cuts (“Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003“) were signed into law on May 28, 2003, just months before the start of the 2004 fiscal year. The results — in terms of real revenue to the U.S. government — were stunning.

Look at how revenue grew in Fiscal Year(s) 04′, 05′, 06′, and 07′.

According to the OMB’s own figures, the Bush tax cuts resulted in an explosion of revenue to the U.S. government. Get that?   The governments own non-partisan accounting office state unequivocally the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 brought more revenue into the treasury (look at chart).

This one flew remarkably under the radar from yesterday’s news events.  A website has secured and posted confirmation that President Obama has willfully created a Trade Agreement that allows multi-national corporations to ignore sovereign US laws, while simultaneously binding domestic US corporations to follow them.
WASHINGTON — A critical document from President Barack Obama’s free trade negotiations with eight Pacific nations was leaked online early Wednesday morning, revealing that the administration intends to bestow radical new political powers upon multinational corporations, contradicting prior promises.
The leaked document has been posted on the website of Public Citizen, a long-time critic of the administration’s trade objectives. The new leak follows substantial controversy surrounding the secrecy of the talks, in which some members of Congress have complained they are not being given the same access to trade documents that corporate officials receive.
“The outrageous stuff in this leaked text may well be why U.S. trade officials have been so extremely secretive about these past two years of [trade] negotiations,” said Lori Wallach, director of Public Citizen’s Global Trade Watch in a written statement. (more…)
