I Am Brainstorming Some Kentucky Billboards….. Wanna Help?

Will be outlining some particulars tomorrow about a specific Treehouse movement / objective in Kentucky.    We have been conversing with some young and energetic boots on the blue-grass ground and much organization is still to be worked out.

However, I am in discussions to blitz a message in March and April.   The theme is:

“Smidgens of Kentucky Unite”

The sub message is:

“DITCH MITCH”

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to come up with quick catch phrases around the *PRIMARY Theme* “Smidgens of Kentucky Unite”; which can/will be expanded to “Smidgens of America Unite” for 2014 primaries beyond Kentucky.

Conceptually using the negative emotion toward the IRS, the negative emotion toward dismissiveness, and reinforcing a righteous outrage. (more…)

You’re Going To Have To Confirm The Ambassador To Find Out What’s In The Ambassador…

Just like everything from this administration, their leadership boils down to: “trust us”.

WASHINGTON DC – Does President Obama’s nominee for ambassador to Argentina, a campaign bundler who has never visited the country, even speak Spanish? The State Department doesn’t know.

“I don’t have his personal biography in front of me, but what I will convey is that,” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki replied when asked by ABC’s Jon Karl if Noah Mamet, whose nomination to the crucial diplomatic post was considered by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Thursday, speaks Spanish.

“Judging somebody’s effectiveness, or what role they’ll play, or how strong of an ambassador they’ll be — you can’t do [that] until they’ve spent some time working in the job in the country,” she added.

In other words, you have to confirm the ambassador to Argentina to know what’s in the ambassador to Argentina.  (READ MORE)

Life As A “Smidgen” – Catherine Engelbrecht Talks To Megyn Kelly About What It Feels Like To Be A “Smidgen” With A Target On Your Back ….

Shortly after a congressional hearing yesterday morning, True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht filed an ethics complaint against Rep. Elijah Cummings. The complaint alleges the Congressman intimidated her and and her group. The Congressman had done some cable news shows alleging incorrect facts about True the Vote. In the hearing yesterday, Cummings accused True the Vote of racism saying that they were trying to suppress the vote.

“Franky, Megyn, the thought of having to sit before my accuser and be silent in the face of what he did was unconscionable. He [Cummings] filed over a period of months in 2012, he filed three letters that he sent to me asserting that he was opening an investigation. He sent this on House Oversight and Government Reform letterhead.”

Flash Away….Scoring One For The First Amendment!

Flashing your headlights to warn other drivers of a speed trap is constitutionally protected speech, said a Missouri judge earlier this week.

You’ve all done it, right?  Say you’re driving down the road and you see this police car lying in wait to pull over some poor sucker.  So, being the nice person you are, you flash your headlights a couple of times to alert the traffic in the opposite direction.   Funny thing though….the police don’t seem to appreciate your kind gesture.   You don’t think they’re annoyed because our warning each other of these speed traps means their police departments make less money? (Sarcasm alert)

Another “No Knock” Police Raid In Iowa Raises SERIOUS Issues – Police Justify Force Of Raid Because Resident Was “legally registered gun owner”…

There is a lot to digest in this story.  A LOT !   

52-policeThe Summary Version is:  IOWA Police execute a search warrant based on suspected credit card fraud – However, they smashed down the door in a “no-knock” raid replete with full battle armor.   Then the police tried to destroy the CCTV system which was recording their behavior.

When questioned about the ridiculously excessive “use of force” things get worse because the police justify the execution of the warrant, the extreme measures invoked, based around the principle the occupant was a legally registered gun owner and therefore represented a more significant risk to them.   <—- Think about that.

Personally I have come to the difficult determination that the police are now a danger to us.  We have as much likelihood to be victimized by paid law enforcement as we do criminals.   It has taken me several years to accept this ‘new-normal’ reality with police militarization; however, there is simply too much empirical evidence to dismiss the obvious.    This story is only atypical in that the owner had CCTV systems to document the reality.

Several reports to review.   Here is the original story:  Family calls Ankeny police raid excessive –  Justin Ross was in the bathroom next to his bedroom when a squad of Ankeny police officers rammed through a side door of his home. (more…)

Zimmerman VS NBC – Beasley Law Firm Petitions FL Court To Commence Civil Trial – Mark O’Mara Bow’s Out…

The defamation suit against NBC was on hold pending criminal trial outcome.  The Zimmerman motion for sanctions, still in limbo, against prosecutors Bernie De La Rionda and Angela Corey are part of the criminal trial.   Subsequently and consequentially the request for the defamation suit to move forward has been denied.

zimmerman-trial-022-061813SANFORD — Orlando lawyer Mark O’Mara on Thursday took another step away from his most famous client, George Zimmerman, by bowing out of a defamation suit against NBC Universal Media.

O’Mara was co-counsel for Zimmerman when the former Neighborhood Watch volunteer sued the network broadcaster just over a year ago, accusing it of falsely portraying him as racist in five reports.

[Zimmerman’s] … defamation suit has sat dormant for 11 months. Both sides agreed last February that they’d do nothing until Zimmerman’s criminal case was closed. (more…)

Finally The GOP Does Something Beneficial – Website Containing All Unclassified Benghazi Documentation

Hey, what do you know… I’m shocked.   Someone within the GOP actually took advice and put all of the unclassified Benghazi information into one website folder.
