The jury has reached a verdict….. we are awaiting information – Update information coming through:  PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Abortion provider Kermit Gosnell was convicted Monday of three counts of first-degree murder for severing the spinal cords of infants born during abortions at his West Philadelphia clinic.

The trial now moves into a sentencing phase to decide whether Gosnell should receive the death penalty or face life in prison.  The verdicts were announced hours after the jurors informed the judge in the case that they were hung on two charges.  (link with more information)

Murder 1st degree baby A – Guilty

Murder 1st degree baby E – Guilty

Murder 1st degree baby C – Guilty 

Fox News reporting that Kermit Gosnell and his defense attorney were totally shocked to hear THREE 1st Degree Murder Guilty Counts.   Guilty also of 1st degree manslaughter in death of adult patient. (more…)

Given the fact the media huddled with the White House prior to the Carney press briefing this should not be a surprise.   Nah, probably just another one of those now famous NBC production mistakes….  move along, move along…. nothing to see here folks….  Look, over there, shiny things.

(Via Newsbusters)  If you were a journalist reporting on Benghazi whistleblower Gregory Hicks, wouldn’t you find it interesting that he was a Democrat who voted for Barack Obama twice?

Someone at NBC News didn’t according to Hicks’s attorney Victoria Toensing who disclosed the spike job to NewsMax host Steve Malzberg on WMAL radio Saturday

VICTORIA TOENSING: By the way, Mr. Hicks is a Democrat. He voted for Hillary – I’ve yet to announce this – he voted for Hillary in the primary and Obama twice. You know what? NBC spiked the story where I told it before the hearings. It’s just amazing what the press is still trying to do to cover this up…So they try to make this partisan because of the lawyer. Well I’m not the messenger, he’s the messenger…The modus operandi, you know, to find anything they can do to just attack. So why wouldn’t NBC News report this? (more…)

Thermonuclear Splodey Head Warning:  Liberals Coast To Coast rabid with worry about the potential sale of the Tribune Co. media organization to the Koch Brothers.

Nothing would bring such joy to the Patriot movement than to see this sale take place.  Far-left “Liberals” have historically held a death grip on the media complex – this would be a serious blow to their media stranglehold.   

Los Angeles […]  As Tribune Co. emerges from a four-year bankruptcy, the predominantly Democratic city is quivering at the rumor that libertarian billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch may be interested in buying the LA Times. The brothers are believed to be the only group prepared to buy all eight Tribune papers, including the Chicago Tribune, Baltimore Sun, Orlando Sentinel and Hartford Courant, as a package — how Tribune would like to sell them.  (link)

Imagine the media response if George Bush were in office and the groups targeted were liberals…

WASHINGTON Associated Press  — A federal watchdog’s upcoming report says senior Internal Revenue Service officials knew agents were targeting tea party groups in 2011.

The disclosure contradicts public statements by former IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman, who repeatedly assured Congress that conservative groups were not targeted.

On Friday, the IRS apologized for what it acknowledged was “inappropriate” targeting of conservative political groups during the 2012 election to see if those groups were violating their tax-exempt status. (more…)

If there was any doubt about the strength of the professional grievance industry aligned against George Zimmerman, and their single-minded focus to convict him despite he evidence to the contrary, one only needs to look at a recent Bay 9 interview with Francis Oliver, the mother of Trayvon Martin family attorney Natalie Jackson.

The ‘in-your-face’ level of racism expressed by Oliver is quite staggering to witness. However, it should not come as a surprise given the embedded hatred Oliver carries for non-blacks.

“I’ve been fighting white people my whole life seems like” Francis Oliver March 18th 2012

What should be alarming to casual followers is witnessing Oliver’s expressed strategic goal of getting like-minded black racists to find their way onto the jury. Even to the extent of her outlining how potential black jurors need to conceal their animosity:

“Don’t get eliminated before you even get a chance to be questioned. We definitely don’t want it to the point that all blacks are eliminated because we got over excited and blew our chances. At least give us a chance. Give yourself a chance,” said Oliver.

“blew our chances“?    Blew their chances at what exactly?  Sorry, that’s a rhetorical question, we know exactly what the goal is here – Ms. Oliver has outlined it clearly in all of her prior points of advocacy.   The goal is to convict George Zimmerman AT ALL COSTS. (more…)

The Weekly Standard’s Stephen Hayes is reporting that several more ‘whistleblowers’ want to come forward to testify under oath about Benghazi.  The Blaze also reports:

[…] Joseph diGenova, attorney for acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Counterterrorism Mark Thompson, did not specify how many new witnesses there were, but said they had been “on the ground” and “in the fight” during the September assault that left four Americans dead. Thompson was one of three whistleblowers who went before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday.  (link)

(Via Mediaite)  NBC’s Lisa Myers told panelists on The Morning Joe yesterday that Benghazi is starting to worry Democrats. NBC Reporter Kelly O’Donnell read from portions of emails in which high ranking State Department officials coordinated with the CIA to alter the official talking points on the Benghazi attack to remove any references to prior warnings or Islamic terrorism.

“This is quite the window into what is usually the hush-hush process about how to deal with these types of attacks and the spin that irrevocably comes afterwards,” NBC reporter Luke Russert opined. (more…)

Yesterday the defense posted three new attachments to the George Zimmerman defense. The first was a motion to the 5th District Court of Appeal stating the defense response to Benjamin Crump’s attachment to the State of Florida’s response to the Writ of Certiorari filed by Mark O’Mara. The second was the actual reply to Benjamin Crump’s position.

The Third, and more important of the filings, was the reply to the District Court directly to the State of Florida’s position as asserted by Florida Attorney General, Pam Bondi:

Many people have noted the general discomfort yesterday exhibited by Jay Carney as he twisted himself into contortions while using seemingly inexhaustible obfuscation.

However, what is lesser known was the backstory prior to the “official” briefing.

The originally scheduled White House press briefing was supposed to take place at 12:30pm.  However, just before start time, the ABC exclusive report containing the secret Benghazi e-mails hit the wire….  The White House delayed the briefing til 1:45pm and pulled select media in for a closed “off record” briefing.

Then word hit of the “propaganda ‘off the record’ briefing”, and the White House pushed it back further, until 3:15pm…  Getting all their Ducks in a row.   The Huffington Post reports on the fiasco: (more…)

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Internal Revenue Service apologized Friday for what it acknowledged was “inappropriate” targeting of conservative political groups during the 2012 election to see if they were violating their tax-exempt status.

IRS agents singled out dozens of organizations for additional reviews because they included the words “tea party” or “patriot” in their exemption applications, said Lois Lerner, who heads the IRS division that oversees tax-exempt groups. In some cases, groups were asked for lists of donors, which violates IRS policy in most cases, she said. (more…)

The George Zimmerman case was not a fight we chose, it was a fight that chose us. We wanted to find the truth, the opposition wanted to hide the truth – such is the nature of the conflict comprised.

That said, the serious issues at hand are far greater than a product now defined as George Zimmerman. However, the ideological argument is always augmented with the consideration that one man’s freedom does actually lie in the balance.

What George Zimmerman ‘the product’ is to the Professional Black Grievance Industry, albeit under the auspices of ‘civil rights and wrongful death’ protestations, is not dissimilar to Nakoula Basseley Nakoula and what he was for the Obama administration.

Both Nakoula and Zimmerman are tools, representative products, needed to advance a claim. The merit of the claim is tied intrinsically into the narrative that each product represents for those who seek to use it. (more…)
