Edward Klein a former liberal New York Times editor writes a devastating biography of President Barack Obama, “The Amateur”.   The book debuts at #1 in the New York Times bestseller list and begins week two solidly in first place.
However, The New York Times itself tries to destroy the author and  the book, calling it an “invective-laden” anti-Obama book, and tells readers to ignore the book since it offers no real sources.
The main stream media ignores the book completely, yet the book not only earns the #1 spot on the New York Times best-seller list, it stays there. (more…)

Facing recent polling that indicates Governor Scott Walker is in relatively good shape in the Wisconsin Recall Campaign, the progs are reframing the narrative.

The blame game has been going on for about a week with Wisconsin recall folks complaining about a lack of support from the Democrat National Committee, President Obama, and national democrats.   In addition, state officials from labor unions like the AFL-CIO and AFSCME are complaining about weak national support for their efforts.
This week the media began to frame the narrative to position and protect Democrats in the 2012 campaign. Initially the Wisconsin Recall Effort was heralded by the media as an example and predictor for Progressive gains in retaliation against fiscal conservative efforts by Republican Governors and Legislatures. In addition, they sold the Wisconsin race as a bellweather for President Obama’s victory in November. (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 †

Zimmerman’s legal team said in a tweet that he was in police custody. Zimmerman’s bail was revoked because the judge said he and his wife lied to the court about their finances so he could obtain a lower bond.  Twitchy Follows The Tweets:

WISCONSIN – Just four days out from the Wisconsin’s historic gubernatorial recall election, former president Bill Clinton and Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett could only draw a small crowd to a rally Friday on Barrett’s home turf.
As the Associated Press notes, the crowd numbered only in the “hundreds,” a sign of the enthusiasm gap between Democrats and Republicans that has appeared in some polls. Overcast weather and the short notice of the event (it was announced just yesterday) may have depressed turnout. But a sitting mayor of a Democratic city and a popular former Democratic president still should have been able to draw more than hundreds of people on Friday if Barrett supporters were fired up and ready to go. Congressman Paul Ryan has been known to draw hundreds of people to some of his townhall meetings in the Milwaukee exurbs. (more…)

The following post is from attorney “It’s Michael Not Mike” submitted to the TreeHouse Tip Line:

In my opinion the money at issue, all or any part of it, is confidential, the issue is irrelevant, is an illegal inquiry, or this is all subject to the attorney/client privilege (so, for example, the Zimmermans were entitled to talk in “code” because they knew the calls were being recorded).
Bottom line first: This is simply an illegal inquiry by the Prosecutor, attorney Crump, et al., to inquire about otherwise privileged matters, and ultimately to stop the flow of attorneys’ fees to Zimmerman’s counsel.:
1) I do not believe DONATIONS (gifts) are legally considered Zimmerman assets. Nor are the monies assets/funds subject to disclosure to a Judge at a BAIL hearing, or any criminal court proceeding, but specifically where the ONLY matter being discussed is bail (the amount of bail is to assure defendant’s appearance. Bail is NOT punishment, a sanction, or a strategic device (e.g., to deny counsel and coerce a guilty plea).
Bonus Inquiry: Even if the donations/gifts are assets, did the State Attorney put into EVIDENCE what the Zimmermans did with the money? IS THERE ANY EVIDENCE THAT THE ZIMMERMANS SPENT ALL OR PART OF IT, AND ON WHAT? (more…)

A Billion Dollars is a Thousand Millions !

Mark O’Mara is hopeful Judge Lester will grant a motion for another bond hearing at a later date.  However, and increasing possibility now exists that Zimmerman could remain in custody until his trial next year.
Initial reports from the media reflect a significant diminishment in support for George Zimmerman
( We are conducting a TreeHouse Poll below article)
MIAMI Associated Press — George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer charged with murder in the killing of Trayvon Martin, surrendered to police Sunday and was booked into jail after having his bail revoked two days earlier.

Zimmerman’s legal team said in a tweet that he was in police custody. Zimmerman’s bail was revoked because the judge said he and his wife lied to the court about their finances so he could obtain a lower bond.
On Sunday afternoon, about 40 minutes before the 2:30 p.m. deadline to surrender, Zimmerman was listed as an inmate on the jail website. He was listed as being held without bail and having $500 in his jail account.

Seminole County Sheriff Donald Eslinger said Zimmerman turned himself in to two sheriff’s office employees around 1:25 p.m. near the jail, and was then driven to the jail. Zimmerman arrived in a white minivan and did not respond to questions from reporters as he walked inside, handcuffed and wearing blue jeans, sneakers and a button-down shirt. (more…)
