The State of Florida has filed a response to the defense sanctions motion regarding their attempt to block videotaping of Witness #8 “DeeDee” during deposition in the George Zimmerman Case.

The response motion to the court is filled with a laugh out loud admission of their incompetence in the attempt to block videotaping.   Bernie De La Rionda opines that he never paid any attention to the “intent to videotape” the deposition and whines that no-one else was video taped – therefore he didn’t expect it.

BDLR compains that he should not be sanctioned for his obstruction – despite the court ruling that videotaping was appropriate and the defense team adequately informed the State of their intention ahead of deposition session.

(Via GWP) Last month Olander D. Cuthrell, a Virginia minister, said racists painted slurs on his home and torched it.  Cuthrell told police at the time of the arson, “It’s hard now sleeping… There’s no peace, there’s no sense of security.”

Yesterday Cuthrell was arrested and charged with two counts of felony arson.  He set the fires himself.  There was no hate crime.

VIRGINIA – A Petersburg minister whose Chesterfield County house was set on fire last month and sparked a potential hate crime probe has been charged with setting the fires himself.

Chesterfield police arrested and charged Olander D. Cuthrell, 41, of the 7800 block of Little Ridge Court, on two counts of felony arson. Cuthrell is a minister at Good Shepherd Baptist Church in Petersburg.

WASHINGTON DC – Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy vowed to move swiftly on immigration  legislation despite calls from conservatives, including Sen. Marco Rubio, to  slow the process.

Reacting to a Rubio (R-Fla.) letter over the weekend calling for extensive  hearings on the soon-to-be-unveiled immigration bill by a group of eight  senators, the Vermont Democrat said his panel would “consider” holding a hearing  on the measure once it was introduced. But Leahy raised concerns that waiting  too long could undermine the larger effort to pass the comprehensive bill,  calling the matter “urgent.”

Senate “Gang of Eight”

“While you have conducted the process of the ‘gang of eight’ behind closed  doors, I can assure you that it has always been my position … that the work of  the Committee should be open to the public,” Leahy said in a Tuesday letter, (more…)

The horrific crime has sparked fear among visitors to the metropolis, which is set to host next year’s football World Cup as well as the 2016 Olympics.

A few minutes after the pair of tourists boarded the mini-bus on Friday night, the operators ordered the other passengers to get off and inflicted a ‘party of evil’ on the couple. (more…)

It’s comical to watch the liberal-left protest about North Korea’s provocations and statements about their intention to “Nuke” U.S. Cities.

Tonight I even saw Piers Morgan pose the question “when should the United States take action to defend itself, and launch a defensive attack”?

Yet, when it comes to Israel facing even more provocative intentions from Iran, and others, who have claimed a desire for total annihilation of their nation – Israel is not afforded the same right of defense.

Somehow, the leftist-progs find a way to reconcile this pretzel logic in their own little prog minds.

Sometimes it helps to just look at what was being said and espoused. Contrast what is stated and claimed in this video against the known truth – CLICK HERE  (there’s a full transcript at the link)

Fabian-Socialists use language control to advance the Prog ideology.   It is why the term “Cultural Marxism” is the best descriptive of what they do and their intentions.

Your thoughts?

I just realized something….. it’s not “Our House”.   From their perspective it’s “Their House”.   No-more White House tours, which the water-carrying media appear to accept, for anyone….  Unless they want to throw a party.

I’m reminded of what the Clinton team did to the White House when Al Gore lost the 2000 election.
