Update pic at bottom – Arkansasmimi found another variety “Drank” in her neck of the woods.  🙁     Sheeesh…  talk about advancing a lifestyle through marketing.

Treeper Texastoolman found this in a convenience store in Texas.   Actually remarkable when you think about it.   Obviously the “target audience” would be those who know what “Purple Lean” is actually all about – But it got me to thinking would the average person, or parent, even have a clue what this is for and the actual product story?

Prior to researching the Trayvon Martin background  we would never have known what this product was meant to infer.    Obviously the marketing folks behind the product know. (more…)

“The American people are fed up. We have all of this outrageous activity going on. And, they’re releasing illegal criminals. Because this is not arrest and release people. These are people who have been held for a reason… No one has contacted my office. No one has reached out. And, obviously they don’t know what the HECK is going on because they didn’t know anything about it either. Well, who’s running this country?“

Will somebody, anybody, please put the grown-ups back in charge of this country !

Earlier in the week – The federal government released groups of illegal immigrants from custody across the country Monday at the same time the White House was making its case that impending budget cuts would harm efforts to protect the border and enforce federal immigration laws.

Advocates reported “waves” of illegal immigrants being released from at least three detention centers in Texas, Florida and Louisiana.

U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement confirmed the release of some illegal immigrants Monday night but would not say how many or from which detention centers. (more…)

In an epic interview for the ages, a Democratic congressman unloaded on Fox News anchor Sean Hannity Tuesday night with a non-stop verbal assault on the popular host.

If Rand Paul runs for office in 2016 I will remind every one of his supporters of this decision….. until like the Paulbots they are left with nothing but spit.   Chuck Hagel is insufferably unqualified for Secretary of Defense.

WASHINGTON DC – Chuck Hagel won confirmation Tuesday to become defense secretary over objections to his views on Middle East security and the administration’s handling of an attack on a U.S. consulate in Libya.

On a 58 to 41 vote, the Senate confirmed the former GOP senator as four Republicans joined 54 Democrats in approving Hagel, ending a nearly two-month battle that included an unprecedented filibuster against the nominee.

The four Republican senators voting in favor were Thad Cochran (Miss.), Mike Johanns (Neb.), Richard C. Shelby (Ala.) and Rand Paul (Ky.). All 41 no votes came from Republicans. (more…)

The million hoodie march is now a couple hundred race-baiting fools… gathering to beat their drums and demand mo’ money under the guise of ‘In-just-us’.   Laughable at best…

(AP STORY)  Martin’s parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, were joined by actor Jamie Foxx and a crowd of about 200 people on Tuesday evening in Manhattan’s Union Square Park. They lit candles and held a moment of silence at 7:17 p.m., the time Martin was fatally shot on Feb. 26, 2012.

Now the report from Treeper Admin Ytz4Me:  (Updated @1:17 am ET)

NEW YORK CITY –   The hints were there. Online articles about the Zimmerman case elicit comments that support Zimmerman’s contention that he acted in self-defense by over a margin of 6 to 1; the Martin family attorney who spearheaded the agitation for the Capias suddenly lawyers up himself and seeks to avoid being “put on the record”; and the ongoing failure of the various iterations of the “Trayvon Martin Foundation aka “Justice for TM” ” to raise any meaningful or significant funds.

The Trayvon Martin “cause” however, continues to live on, with life breathed into its metaphorical corpse by a corrupt legacy media desperate to maintain the fiction that institutional racism is alive and well in Obama’s America. On life support, the manufactured faux rage of the chattering class continues to be splashed across the pages of online editions of print newspapers and monthlies; and on “specials” by the cable news cabal regurgitating the same tired tropes first put forth by Ryan Julison.

On the left the real picture – On the right the photoshopped fake picture.

(WaPo) — A proposed ban on military-style assault weapons faces a key test vote as early as Thursday when the committee considering gun control legislation is scheduled to decide whether to refer the proposal to the full Senate.

The Senate Judiciary Committee released a list of four bills it plans to consider at a business meeting Thursday morning, but Senate Republicans could use the panel’s procedural rules to delay the meeting for a week. As with most Senate proceedings, the list of bills could change — some might be dropped or others added to the list — but the Senate is clearly on the verge of beginning the formal process of reviewing legislation introduced in the wake of the Newtown, Conn. school shooting.

“And with that, what I want to do is clear out the press, so we can take some questions.”

OK, that’s a word I had never heard before, “hobbyist”.   To find out what it means, read the Daily Caller Article.

WASHINGTON DC – A professional escort who travels the East Coast seeing clients in cities  from Miami to Boston has identified a photo of Senator Bob Menendez as a man who paid her for sex. The  woman, in her late 30s, told The Daily Caller prior to seeing Menendez’s photo  that she had been paid to provide sexual favors to several U.S. senators,  including a New Jersey Democrat and other politicians who are no longer  living.

The escort, who earns money having sex with men in upscale hotel rooms, said  during an in-person interview that many of her wealthy and powerful customers  use pseudonyms when arranging for her services, and when meeting her in  person.

TheDC showed the woman a photo of Menendez, however, and she identified him  as a former client.  (continue reading)
