FACT:  Eric Holder approved and affirmed a phone records subpoena claiming Fox News journalist, James Rosen, was an unindicted co-conspirator to domestic terrorism charges.  He then went judge shopping to get the subpoenas validated;  two judges said NO, the 3rd agreed to approve.   Holder said after reading about it in the Washington Post he regrets doing it.  

However, prior to that coming out,  on May 15th Holder went before congress and said:

“with regard to potential prosecution of the press for disclosure of material, that is not something that I have ever been involved in, heard of, or would think would be a wise policy.”

A flat out lie.  No if’s, and’s, or but’s about it.   He was “involved in”;  He had “heard of”; and he did “think it was a wise policy”;  After all, he approved it.

But according to the White House, Holder was being truthful. (more…)

First a few general house keeping fyi’s.  My sincere apologies for anyone who felt slighted by sending a Twitter DM and not getting a response.  We barely use Twitter; The auto-twitter feature that dispatches post notifications is on auto-pilot and we rarely go to the actual Treehouse Twitter home page.  Only yesterday I became aware of the DM feature and upon checking the ‘envelopey thing’ realized people had submitted notes that sat unattended.  Again, my apologies.

Brass Tacks on the Zimmerman case:

Meet The Clockers:   The revelation that Trayvon Martin’s phone holds a video he made of a homeless man being beaten by Trayvon and his team of co-horts is, well, a big deal.  A VERY big deal.

This means the State of Florida has known since, well, lets be generous, June/July of last year, that they possessed evidence of a crime.   Obviously, it appears they did nothing about it – most likely because it would have presented itself as a diminishment to their case and the narrative of innocent, skittle carrying, teenage Trayvon.

However, now the video is known by both the Defense and the Prosecution, and by consequence the media, I’m sure someone would want to follow up on the criminal activity the video documents.    Someone, anyone, right? (more…)

Trayvon was 17, smoked dope, sold drugs, drank “lean” drug cocktail with frequency, burglarized homes, video’s himself and peeps beating homeless guy, bought sold guns, participated in organized MMA street fights, kicked out of school three times, kicked out of his Mom’s house, no parental supervision, and put on bus – sent to Sanford FL with a rolled up baggie of marijuana stuffed between his butt cheeks.

Now that he’s been shot and killed, his family attorney, Benjamin Crump, says shooter trial is “the civil rights case of the century” – while playing the “race-card” 24/7……

WASHINGTON DC – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) isn’t worried about rounding up 60 votes for legislation to overhaul the nation’s immigration system, saying Tuesday in an interview with a Nevada television program that crossing the crucial threshold should be “pretty easy.”

“I talked about this to a number of my senators today…” Reid said, as quoted by the Las Vegas Sun. “I think we have 60 votes. Remember, we start out at 55 Democrats. I think the most I’ll lose is two or three. Let’s say I wind up with 52 Democrats. I only need eight Republicans, and I already have four, so that should be pretty easy.”  (continue reading)

Well it appears we now have TWO people in the media asking the “right” question.  Last week Chris Wallace, now Charles Krauthammer:

“I think there is a bigger story here that will in time come out. The biggest scandal of all, the biggest question is what was the president doing in those eight hours. He had a routine meeting at five o’clock. He never after during the eight hours when our guys have their lives in danger, he never called the Secretary of Defense, he never calls the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, he never called the CIA Director, Who does he call? But five hours in he calls the Secretary of State. And after the phone call she releases a statement essentially about the video and how we denounce any intolerance. It looks as if the only phone call is to construct a cover story at a time when the last two Americans who died were still alive and fighting for their lives. There’s the scandal and that has to be uncovered.” (more…)

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) announced early Wednesday that she will not seek a fifth term in office.  The decision to bow out of the 2014 race was announced in a YouTube video on the congresswoman’s Website and on her Facebook page.

Although Bachmann didn’t give an exact reason for her departure, she explained that an 8-year term in the House was enough. (more…)

Gang of Ocho continues with the Si Se Puede’ usurpation:

WASHINGTON DC – The Senate Judiciary Committee has increased the already-sizable length of the “Gang of Eight” immigration reform bill to more than a thousand pages during the markup process, Breitbart News has learned.

The final length of the bill remained a mystery during its drafting process. Some estimates from media outlets, including from the Washington Post’s David Nakamura, placed the bill length at the time at longer than 1,500 pages. Breitbart News also reported that estimate, as did many other media outlets.  (read 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 †
