In Franklin Indiana, parents must pay for their children to be provided with transportation to school.   One woman campaigned to get the fees removed for lower income students and for subsidies to offset the cost (taxpayers to foot the bill).

In essence, she wanted to help poor children whose parents wouldn’t pay for them to ride the bus.   Consequently the majority of those helped by her action and advocacy, for free bus transportation, were black students.

On the first day of the school year, at the first opportunity for those assisted students to ride the bus free of charge,  her own 14 year own son was brutally beaten on the school bus by one of the black students benefitting from her efforts.

After crawling up, down, and inside out of everything associated with Sheriff Joe for more than three years, the feds did not find squat…. it was a pure political witch hunt.  In a typical Obama/Holder DOJ manuever the Feds announce the non-finding and dropping of their investigation at 5pm on Friday night of a holiday weekend.   Jerks.

PHOENIX — Federal authorities said Friday that they’re closing their abuse-of-power investigation into Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Arizona without filing charges against him.

Authorities were investigating America’s self-proclaimed toughest sheriff for his part in failed public corruption cases against officials who were odds with him. Arpaio brought cases against a judge and two county officials in 2009.

Federal authorities also decided to not prosecute matters tied to alleged misuse of county credit cards by sheriff’s officials, alleged misspending of jail-enhancement funds and other matters. (more…)

“The Introduction”

On the night of February 26th, 2012, the life of George Zimmerman was changed forever.

Since that date he has been saddled not only with the anguish of having to take a life to save his own, but he has needed to endure the obligatory state-sponsored witch hunt to boot.

These are the burdens that few ordinary humans will ever have to bear. In times like these it’s always better to surround yourself with people who you TRUST.

Inevitably, in this day of GREED and SELFISHness, there are many people who use situations like this as a platform to further their own agenda. George Zimmerman has seen this GREED manifest itself in many forms from those he considers his best confidants. (more…)

If you have visited this site for any significant amount of time you know our position:

There are so many self-serving parties and affiliations within the Trayvon Martin shooting it is almost impossible to describe them all, and from the outset of our research and analysis of this now national case we have remained consistent with our approach.

We try diligently to present the information as it appears, to the best of our ability, without placing ourselves as a filter for the information.   We present the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of it all; and there is much ugliness as a direct outcome of money and financial positioning.

When approached by Ryan Julison we refused to be a part of the filtration system instead offering our site as a direct host for his perspective unedited.   To insure the absence of our perspective of his position bleeding into the narrative we asserted that we would not narrate his story, we would present it exactly as he presents.   He declined.  That approach is not within his paradigm.

There is enough filtering, and skewering/twisting of information; that approach is not within our mission statement. (more…)

The Icon

Oscar winning actor and director, and American icon Clint Eastwood appeared at the Republican National Convention where he held an impromptu conversation with an empty chair reflecting President Obama,  saying:

“when somebody does not do the job, well, sometimes we’ve got to let them go”..

Mr. Eastwood was using the empty chair to reference the empty promises and failed policies of President Obama.

In response President Obama tweeted the following: (more…)

Condi Rice delivers a passionate, intelligent and articulate speech to the RNC.   In response to witnessing the articulate message, and the deconstructed Obama Administration ineptitude, Chris Matthews asks Secretary Rice about his primary agenda.

Watch how ridiculous Andrea Mitchell and Chris Matthews are as they continue carrying water for the feeble Democrat narrative:

You can almost sense the embarassment in the voice of Mitchell. The question is so embarassingly out-of-touch, that even she almost appears awkward in following Mr. Tingles instructions. Almost. (more…)

The appellate court has agreed with defense attorney Mark O’Mara, and the accused George Zimmerman, that Judge Kenneth Lester is prejudiced in his rulings against Zimmerman and that George Zimmerman has reason to believe he is unable to receive a fair trial.   Subsequently Ken Lester has been removed.

Opinion filed August 29, 2012 – Petition for Writ of Prohibition
Kenneth R. Lester, Jr., Respondent Judge. – Mark M. O’Mara, of O’Mara Law Group,
Orlando, and Donald R. West, of Don West Law Group, P.A., Orlando for Petitioner.

Pamela J. Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee and Pamela J. Koller, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Respondent.  PER CURIAM.

George Zimmerman petitions for issuance of a writ of prohibition. This is the proper mechanism for challenging the denial of a motion to disqualify a trial judge. See,
e.g., Lusskin v. State, 717 So. 2d 1076, 1077 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998).

Reviewing the matter de novo, see R.M.C. v. D.C., 77 So. 3d 234, 236 (Fla. 1st DCA 2012), we grant the petition. (more…)

This is an official Obama/Biden Campaign commerical – Not a Superpac:

@1:01 – Paul Ryan’s views for the United States are viciously, and fiercely, anti-female….

This, from the same Obama/Biden ticket who proclaim:

“Look, the Taliban per se is not our enemy. That’s critical,” Biden said. “There is not a single statement that the president has ever made in any of our policy assertions that the Taliban is our enemy, because it threatens U.S. interests.”

(Via NewsBusters)  During live coverage of the Republican National Convention here in Tampa, Yahoo News Washington bureau chief David  Chalian provided the perfect example of the pervasive anti-Republican bias  Mitt Romney faces in his bid to unseat President Barack Obama.

In video broadcast Monday night by ABC and Yahoo over the Internet, David Chalian  can be heard claiming that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his wife  Ann are unconcerned about the fate of residents of the New Orleans area who are  currently being hit by Hurricane Isaac.

“They aren’t concerned at all, they are happy to  have a party when black people drown.”

Yahoo News Washington bureau chief David  Chalian

That line elicits laughter from several employees listening in on the  joke.

It sounds to me like a producer “sound over” from a production member in the audio feed.  A “live mike” behind the scenes at Fox News catches someone calling Sarah Palin a “zealot“?  Listen and decide for yourself.

Update: Brit Hume took to Twitter to claim the voice was his and the word is “salad.”
