CHICAGO – Gave Bates smiled through tears as she swiped her hand across her phone, flipping through pictures of her cousin playing around and striking goofy poses.

“He was a lot of fun, very good at imitating people,” Bates said of Nathaniel T. Jackson, 40. “He just had so much fun all the time. And we all grew up together in the same house.”

Jackson was standing outside a store in the Austin neighborhood around 9 p.m. Thursday when someone walked up and shot him in the head, police said.   His death was apparently the 500th homicide in Chicago this year, marking a grim milestone. The city last reached that toll in 2008.

Golly Wally, ain’t we already?….. I mean us being “bitter clingers” n’ all.

No, this is not a spoof.   Facing desperate financial struggles, a pending fiscal cliff, the first ever Bond Rating downgrade – which might soon become the first of two – no federal budget for the past four years, dead ambassadors in Benghazi, the middle-east in flames, North Korea launching ICBM missiles, and an innocent Marine sitting in prison in Mexico because the Mexicans are pissed at Obama for illegally and intentionally sending guns to arm their drug lords…but this is a priority?   Since when did the role of government become to control ethnic diversity in chosen professions…think about it.

I kid you not, this has all the earmarks and tell-tale signs of another Pigford Fraud – Just replace “farmers” for “healthcare workers” and switch the “Dept of Agriculture” for “National Institute of Health” and ……    line up for your free checks folks…..  Unreal.

WASHINGTON DC – While the U.S. government commits senseless acts like skimping on consulate security in violent North African countries, it spends $500 million to help minorities—especially blacks—enter biomedical research fields where lack of diversity is “disturbing and disheartening.”

The grand plan was announced this month by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the nation’s medical research agency. As part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the NIH doles out north of $31 billion annually to hundreds of thousands of researchers at thousands of universities and institutions around the globe.

Tim Scott is a good addition to the Senate.  He has a strong principled background and will be a great all around fiscal conservative.   Good News.

SOUTH CAROLINA – South Carolina Rep. Tim Scott, R-S.C., has been appointed by Republican Gov. Nikki Haley to the Senate seat now held by Republican Jim DeMint. DeMint is leaving the Senate at the end of the year to run the conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation.

“He is the right person,” she said. She pointed to his strong relationship with the business community and the “courage” he showed during a fight with the unions and the National Labor Relations Board during a recent effort to move Boeing factories to the state.

Scott will be the first African-American Republican in the Senate since former Sen. Edward Brooke, R-Mass., lost his bid for reelection in 1978. The 47-year-old, who won a second House term last month, was the first black Republican to represent South Carolina in the House in more than a century. (more…)

This is why John Boehner is insufferably inept as a conservative voice for fiscal discipline.  You can’t negotiate with this mentality (more after video)

On Thursday’s “Your World,” Neil Cavuto repeatedly pressed Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson for specifics on what Democrats would be willing to cut as part of a budget agreement. For her part, the Texas congresswoman insisted on focusing on “revenue generation.”

BUMPED – As a direct result of the ABC video manipulation story on Zimmerman we rec’d a tip to dig a little deeper and aim the Looking Glass toward: Matt Gutman, Candace Smith, Kevin Cunningham, Jess Kutch and Howard University.    (Within complex corrupt systems often there will be a few people uncomfortable with the “illicit agendas'” surrounding them – such is the case with the aforementioned tip).

So if we grab our Looking Glass, stand atop an April 2nd Daily Caller Piece guest authored by Chuck Rudd, and look around, what will we find?    Let’s go look: (more…)

This incident happened at a High School attended by the son of one of our Treeper Team.  It shows how during a fight one of the students, Traybeon, waited until the other student was distracted then sucker punched him – knocking him out and fracturing his skull.

MOUNT DORA, Fla. —  Cellphone video of a vicious fight between two Mount Dora High School students shows one of teenagers getting sucker punched and severely injured.

In a free society, composed of individuals who are unequal by nature, the highest government good is neutrality in the treatment of its citizens before the law. One standard and one justice for all. This is the only equality that not at odds with individual freedom. It is the only equality that can make a diverse community one. A nation that respects individual rights and protects individual freedom cannot be sustained if there is one standard for black and another for white; one for rich and another for poor. It can only be sustained by a single standard — one law and one justice for all. – David Horowitz & John Perazzo

(FrontPage) When a Neighborhood Watch guard shot Trayvon Martin in February 2012, a chorus of civil rights activists concluded that he had been killed because of his race. Michael Skolnick, the political director for hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, spoke for the consensus in an article he titled, “White People You Will Never Look Suspicious.”

I will never look suspicious to you. Even if I have a black hoodie, a pair of jeans and white sneakers on … I will never watch a taxicab pass me by to pick someone else up. I will never witness someone clutch their purse tightly against their body as they walk by me. I won’t have to worry about a police car following me for two miles, so they can ‘“run my plates.”’ I will never have to pay before I eat. And I certainly will never get “‘stopped and frisked.”’ I will never look suspicious to you, because of one thing and one thing only. The color of my skin. I am white…. (more…)

Follow the associations, look into their background, understand the impetus of why they attached themselves to the narrative advancement, bring forth the sunlight, and understand the depth of the opposition against George Zimmerman.   This is NOT, in the larger sense, about George Zimmerman.  He was the tool – to advance a cause.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   The Story Outlined ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As you may remember, on March 29th we were reviewing another “exclusive”  ABC release of George Zimmerman at Sanford Police Dept. when we noticed something odd, the video was/is actually a recording of a monitor.  Initially we thought that meant it was not an official release.  We were wrong.   ABC was given a digital Hi-def copy from the outset.

We now know that ABC was the first to posess a digital copy of the actual CCTV recording.  But they chose instead to use a lesser quality, and far lower definition, video.  (This is what they aired)
