Stop me when we get to the part where you’ve heard this before…..

…… A 23-year-old named Chris Lane was on a baseball scholarship.   He was visiting his sweetheart, this time Oklahoma.   He was jogging down the street, minding his own business, when a grou..

The one constant in an ever changing universe is Limosine Liberals proclaiming their hatred for their own country……  
(Via Politico)  Singer and actor Lenny Kravitz says while the election of President Barack Obama did not mean there was no longer racism in America, and his movie “The Butler” comes out at an interesting time for race relations.

Speaking to MSNBC “Morning Joe” co-host Willie Geist, Kravitz was asked about the election of President Barack Obama, and the idea that a “magic wand” had been waved and America was past race. (more…)

The School Board Hearing is Today, Monday – August 19th

This is a story that SCREAMS for attention. In Michigan a family has been, and continues to be, brutalized by a systemic rot within the school system. A rot that perpetrates, and unbelievably as it sounds, excuses CHILD RAPE – despite the community outrage.
This just came onto our radar screen. However, a cursory review shows this storyline has a similar disposition to the Penn State, Sandusky scandal. The Janczewski’s son was brutally raped over a period exceeding three years (2006-2009) by his middle school math teacher, Neal Erickson.
Years later, in 2012, an anonymous tipster alerted authorities to video and pictures on Child Porn websites of their son and his teacher engaged in oral sex, and worse.

The story is just horrific, vile and made all the more astounding because there is a community of teachers openly supporting the child rapist. The repeated rape is not an allegation, it has been proven, Neal Erickson has admitted to it, and he has recently been sent to prison.
However, the rapist has supporters – Open and Public supporters. Supporters who are teachers themselves and who are actively teaching in the same schools. Supporters who are angry at the Janczewski family for assisting the authorities in filing charges. And it gets worse – much worse. The best identifiable summary of the backstory is available HERE.
Here are some of the issues we have identified as being sidelined by the media so far: (more…)

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 †

It seems we have been on a roll this week. I shall refer to it in the Treehouse History as the Week Of The Offended. Over the course of the last several years, this blog has grown, and more people have come to be a part of our unusual, rag tag community. We have never pretended to be something we aren’t, and we are not everybody’s cup of tea. So be it. That was never our intent.

(Via Mediaite)  On Meet the Press Sunday morning, Trayvon Martin’s mother Sabrina Fulton denounced New York City’s Stop and Frisk law, arguing that it was part and parcel with the racial profiling George Zimmerman used when he approached Martin before the fatal shooting.

“I think it’s all about laws,” she told host David Gregory. “You have to give, not only civilians, but the police officers the right direction. You can’t give people the authority, whether it’s civilians or police officers, the right to stop someone because of the color of their skin.”
