Cudos to CBS’s Sharyl Atkinson and whistleblower DoD Security Official Col. Woods

Insufferably ridiculous reporters searching for “gotcha” phrases – Michigan TV station’s reporter asks Ryan, “Does this country have a gun problem?’

The GOP vice presidential candidate responds that “this country has a crime problem.” When the reporter asks for clarification, Ryan explains that “good, strong gun laws” are currently on the books, “but we have to make sure we enforce our laws.” He goes on to clarify:

“We have lots of laws that aren’t being properly enforced. We need to make sure we enforce these laws. But the best thing to help prevent violent crime in the inner cities is to bring opportunity in the inner cities, is to help people get out of poverty in the inner cities, is to help teach people good discipline, good character. That is civil society. That’s what charities, and civic groups, and churches do to help one another make sure that they can realize the value in one another.”

ABC 12’s reporter then offers a somewhat odd retort, asking, “And you can do all that by cutting taxes? By…with a big tax cut?” (more…)

…… Treehouse Report:  ” DUH  “!

For over 18 months we have been outining the al-Qaeda network in Libya that put the squeeze on Gaddafi, took over Benghazi, and aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood on the Egyptian border.    Here is a brief summary of our cited research and the new Pentagon report at the end.

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 †

Remember, this is only just barely beginning to outline the FACTUAL TRUTHS.  Pew is a Dem leaning polling outfit which still oversamples Democrats in order to favor Obama in their analysis.  Generally Pew oversamples with D+6 to D+8 so add those figures to their reports and you get a more likely reality of Romney 50/51 – Obama 44/43.

This confirms why the Obama Superpac has pulled out of Florida and Wisconsin while focusing on Pennsylvania, Nevada, Ohio and now Michigan.   Romney has virtually wiped out Obama’s lead in Michigan, watch for the negative ads to hit the airwaves there soon.   Of course all of this just means the OFA organization is increasing the burn rate of their campaign contributions exponentially.

PEW – Coming out of the debate, Mitt Romney’s personal image has improved. His favorable rating has hit 50% among registered voters for the first time in Pew Research Center surveys and has risen five points since September. At the same time, Obama’s personal favorability rating has fallen from 55% to 49%. (more…)

Wow, this is going to leave the progs in a tenuous position.    You might remember CBS’s Lara Logan from the brutality she suffered when she was sodomized, gang raped and beaten by the media supported “freedom fighters” in Egypt’s Tahrir Square.

The progs exalted Lara Logan for her bravery, courage and her journalism.   Now she speaks out about the rabid savagery that has become the Middle East, the rise and resurgence of al-Qaeda, and the determined Islamists who have come back into power over the last two years as a direct consequence of President Obama’s failed policies.

CHICAGO – This was no ordinary rubber chicken affair. That was my reaction to the extraordinary keynoter at Tuesday’s Better Government Association annual luncheon.

Lara Logan, a correspondent for CBS’ “60 Minutes,” delivered a provocative speech to about 1,100 influentials from government, politics, media, and the legal and corporate arenas. Such downtown gatherings are a regular on Chicago’s networking circuit. (I am a member of the BGA’s Civic Leadership Committee, and the Chicago Sun-Times was a sponsor).

Her ominous and frightening message was gleaned from years of covering our wars in the Middle East. She arrived in Chicago on the heels of her Sept. 30 report, “The Longest War.” It examined the Afghanistan conflict and exposed the perils that still confront America, 11 years after 9/11. (more…)

HatTip Arkansasmimi – FYI – George Zimmerman’s Mom, Gladys, and brother, Robert, are both scheduled to be interviewed by Piers Morgan tonight on CNN at 9:00 pm Eastern. This will be Gladys’s first media appearance since her family has been forced into hiding.

I predict viewers will gain a considerable measure of understanding, quite disparate from the mental imagery, when they see and hear Gladys talk about what her family has been through.
