Treepers, it is with a heavy heart we note the passing of a long time Treeper Jordan2222 (formerly Jordan2).

We recently found out our cyber friend passed away last month. Originally joining the CTH community as “Jordan2” (in April 2012 during the George Zimmerman case research) Jordan2 evolved into “Jordan2222” for the last few years. His real name was Wayne and he joined us during his own research into the media narrative surrounding the Tryavon Martin shooting.

Jordan2222/Wayne was a stickler for detail and he quickly found a branch to watch -and participate in- the crowdsourcing research. Wayne walked along with us throughout the case and through a great many discoveries in the years that followed.   Along the journey  he made a great many Treeper friends.

During a conversation in December of 2012 Jordan wrote the following comment:

As he was prone to do, Jordan inspired a very lengthy response explaining the essential character of the Treehouse journey itself. ~ Read Here ~ In the conversation that ensued you can see Jordan’s perspective, his personality, and how warmly he cared for his family.

We are very sad to hear of his passing; our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. (more…)

Several elements are needed to qualify as #hashtag worthy for the #F**kThePolice and “Black Lives Matter” movement.   At 4:21 am today the qualifications were once again met.

√ A liberal geography.
√ A professional victim class.
√ A community infected with political correctness.
√ A group of impressionable young minds to engage social media.
√ A snappy narrative like “Black Lives Matter” etc.
√ A narrative that doesn’t need actual facts to support the racial meme.
√ Pictures showing a well narrated victim.
√ Videos carefully edited to only show a victim profile.
√ Overwrought protestation to the municipal authority (college Prez).
√ Knee-jerk Municipal authority acquiescence.

If the Social Justice #Hashtag pitch doesn’t take hold (ie. Tony Robinson, Madison Wisconsin) – Just cue up the next victim: “Martese Johnson” (Charlottesville, Virginia).

Seeing this bantered about via various sites is laughable. Glenn Beck announces he’s done with the GOP because they’ve lied about enforcing laws on illegal immigration and removing Obamacare constructs. Or something.

Beck is one of those financially dependent logic benders who is capable of flexing his spine into a 360 radius and shoving it completely up his own backside.

Beck’s previous support for Decepticon McConnell et al, in combination with his insufferable prior positions on illegal aliens, reflect something more than spinal geometry.  I would bet the more likely motive is his media finances are struggling.

Via Daily Caller – Conservative radio host Glenn Beck announced on his radio show Wednesday morning that he has officially left the Republican Party.

Beck, whose program appears on TheBlaze.com, said the GOP lost him when they said “they were going to stand against Obamacare and illegal immigration.” Beck added that the party “set us up” and “enough is enough.” (more…)

The AP reports on what is already well known and accepted. The Obama administration is the least transparent administration ever evaluated.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration set a record again for censoring government files or outright denying access to them last year under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, according to a new analysis of federal data by The Associated Press.

The government took longer to turn over files when it provided any, said more regularly that it couldn’t find documents and refused a record number of times to turn over files quickly that might be especially newsworthy.

It also acknowledged in nearly 1 in 3 cases that its initial decisions to withhold or censor records were improper under the law — but only when it was challenged. (more…)

After the White House and State Dept. did everything legally possible, and some things potentially illegal too, to see Benjamin Netanyahu lose election – President Obama did not want to call Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to congratulate him on a crushing victory.

President Stompy Feet told Secretary John Kerry to do it.

At @StateDept, @statedeptspox said @JohnKerry's congratulatory phone call to Netanyahu was brief. Wouldn't characterize "tone" of the call.

Tunisia was the original economic and cultural tinderbox that ignited the 2010 “Islamist Spring” – as the Tunisian economy could not support the seemingly endless flow of N African nationals trying to reach Europe. When Tunisia’s Ben Ali and Libya’s Quackdaffy took the 2009 €5 Billion EU bribe to close the immigration gates it was only a matter of time before Tunisia erupted.  It took less than 2 years.

However, since their original cultural crisis, and removal of Ben Ali, Tunis has been trying to avoid getting pulled into the Islamist nightmare that has taken over neighboring Libya. Today an ISIS terror attack took place in the heart of the capital – 19 foreign nationals reported killed so far. ~ Details Developing ~

(Via Reuters) Gunmen in military uniforms stormed Tunisia’s national museum, killing 17 foreign tourists and two Tunisians on Wednesday in one of the worst militant attacks in a country that has largely escaped the region’s “Arab Spring” turmoil.

Visitors from Italy, Germany, Poland and Spain were among the dead in the noon assault on the Bardo museum near parliament in central Tunis, Prime Minister Habib Essid said. (more…)

This video is five years old, but as relevant as it was in 2010.

(Via Jerusalem Post) The Israeli elections took a dramatic turn in the early morning hours on Wednesday as official tallies from nearly all precincts indicate that Likud has opened up a significant lead over Zionist Union, a far cry from the virtual dead heat that television exit polls had reported Tuesday evening.

With 99 percent of precincts reporting before dawn on Wednesday, the Likud has emerged as the clear, undisputed victor in the elections.

According to the official up-to-the-minute tally, Likud wins 30 seats while Zionist Union comes in second at 24 seats.

The parties that follow are Joint Arab List (14); Yesh Atid (11); Kulanu (10); Bayit Yehudi (8); Shas (7); United Torah Judaism (6); Yisrael Beytenu (6); and Meretz (4). (read more)
