In Houston Texas a middle-aged black woman named Mona Nelson kidnapped a 12-year-old white boy, Jonathan Foster, from his home on Christmas Eve 2010. She tied him up with string, tortured him, then burned him with a welding torch and dumped his body in a ditch. Reverse the races and this would be the lead story every night in the media – the same reason it’s being ignored.
Mona Nelson chose to avoid a jury and instead opted for a bench trial – Court reconvenes tomorrow at 10:00am and a verdict may possibly be announced then.   Here is the latest update:   HOUSTON (KTRK) — Testimony in the murder trial of Mona Nelson is over.  Now we wait for a verdict — not from a jury but from a judge — and if that judge decides Nelson is guilty of killing 12-year-old Jonathan Foster, her punishment sentencing will be swift.

There are very few options when it comes to punishment in this case.  This is a non-death penalty capital murder case, so if the judge finds her guilty, Nelson will spend the rest of her natural life behind bars without a chance for parole. (more…)

He was acquitted now he wants more: #GeorgeZimmerman to ask state to pay $200k-$300k of his legal expenses. #Trayvon. http://t.co/mPrqxbF3IJ

She just can’t seem to stop herself…. even now. “He wants more”? Really Rene? Really?

ORLANDO –  George Zimmerman, the Neighborhood Watch volunteer who killed Trayvon Martin, plans to ask the state of Florida to cover $200,000 to $300,000 of his legal expenses, his attorney told the Orlando Sentinel Monday evening.
Because Zimmerman was acquitted, state law requires Florida to pay all his legal costs, minus the biggest one: the fee that goes to his lawyers.
That includes the cost of expert witnesses, travel, depositions, photocopies, even that animated 3-D video that defense attorneys showed jurors during closing argument that depicts Trayvon punching Zimmerman.
Defense attorney Mark O’Mara said Monday that he would soon prepare a motion, asking Circuit Judge Debra S. Nelson to authorize the payments.
That motion, he said “is in the works.” (more…)

…. and people ask me: why not try to engage the guys on “our team”?…. 

As you will see, I have actually tried not to write this.   However, it must be done.
Most of you are now aware for some reason a journalist named Lee Stranahan, representing the Andrew Breitbart media community, took occasion yesterday to attack The Conservative Tree House in general, and myself particularly.

Stranahan used his Twitter feed yesterday to announce his intentions, starting around 9:30 am on Sunday August 25th.
The actual construct of the slander began early in the morning….

@JDreamer731 I have a very specific example but I'm not talking explicitly about it. Yet.

…..then increased throughout the day, and culminated in his airing a radio broadcast with Ryan Julison, the Trayvon Martin family Public Relations Spokesperson and Media consultant, joining Stranahan for the show.
What transpired, and the truth behind the backstory -which drove the attack- is quite alarming.  It also reflects just how vulnerable the media and journalists are to selling Media Consultant storylines and becoming willful accomplices to fraud.
Their promotion of the fraud makes them willful accomplices. (more…)

According to an ABC News report, Kenan Adams-Kinard, 16, was captured early this morning along with several other people who were aiding him.

Adams-Kinard is believed to have received help while on the lam, according to police.  “Several other people with him have been arrested for rendering criminal assistance,” according to Spokane Police spokeswoman Monique Cotton.  (link)

Via Rush Limbaugh – Well said….

“You know, if I had a father, he would look like “Shorty” Delbert Belton, and, if I had a son, he’d look like Chris Lane. Nobody’s gonna say that. Obama has not called the parents of Chris Lane. I don’t know if Obama has called anybody related to “Shorty” Delbert Belton, but these two were people killed by bored, thug-wannabe African-Americans. There still has been more outrage over a rodeo clown wearing an Obama mask than either of these two events combined. It’s this kind of thing — this cultural rot, this decay — that you can’t even address without being called a racist”

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †
