| Prodded by a president with a weakness for racial agitation and enabled by a politically complicit media, the State of Florida persists in a prosecution that can come to no good end. The defendant is neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman. The charge is the second-degree murder. The potential outcomes range from major injustice, if Zimmerman is convicted, to mayhem in the streets, if he´s acquitted. And the state plods on as though the angels were on its side. They are not. The witnesses to the February 2012 shooting of 17 year-old Trayvon Martin are proving even more troublesome

It has been a while but good to see that white racist dog Zimmerman back in the news. And soon the trail of the martyrdom of Saint Trayvon will begin. One can guess what a fiasco this trial will be.

Either way, the only justice blacks want to see is rioting in the streets. The case was so much easier for them when it was first thought Mr Zimmerman were white. Regardless, the case goes on and Mr Zimmerman is the sacrificial lamb for the liberals and blacks Turning St Skittles into a national hero for blacks is some kind of joke since he was nothing more than a street thug who would have eventually turned up dead at some time

Unfortunately juries are often made up of people who are not that bright and are easily swayed by a slick lawyer. I hope Zimmerman had a good one.

Perhaps the papal conclave can begin the proceedings to nominate Trayvon to sainthood while they´re moshing around trying to find a pope.

Re: "Of the roughly 9,000 blacks murdered each, thirteen of every fourteen are murdered by other blacks. Martin was the one of fourteen who was not."
This statistic will never be reported by CNN, CNBC or the NY Times in their reporting on the Zimmerman trial. Instead, the theme will be that the vast majority of blacks are murdered by white racists who have homes, cars and their hands filled with assault weapons. Zimmerman is simply another of these hate filled whites, or actually, wanna be whites, who have a blood lust for killing young black men and raping young black women.
If justice is served with Zimmerman´s acquittal, hopefully it will not be during a hot summer period.

The irony is that if Mr. Zimmerman had not had a concealed carry weapon, and Mr. Martin had been successful in the objective of his assault, which was to kill Mr. Zimmerman the same talking heads in the LSM would be lamenting where society had gone wrong and failed Mr. Martin. Since Mr. Zimmerman was a productive middle-class member of society, the press considers him boring and expendable. Mr. Martin exemplified the thug life that our press, entertainment media and POTUS elevate and celebrate.

Hope that the defense can bring out what Trayvon was doing with the skittles and drink. It shows on facebook that it is a concoction to make one high if added together. And will we finally see the real photos of Trayvon when he has a grid in his mouth and utters gutter language on his now erased facebook account? Glad Cashill is writing a book about it. He does excellent research and has talent. Of all the charities I could contribute to, I couldn´t help myself and have given twice to Zimmerman´s defense fund. He just seems so alone and bushwacked!

The REAL picture of Trayvon has been circulating on the Internet. He was a Thug! He was much larger than Zimmerman with a mouth full of gold teeth. My hope is that this picture will hit the local news casts before this trial begins. Jeesh! We just got over watching Casey Anthony and now we´ll have a year of Trayvon. Give us a break!

Well any blacks on that jury will vote to convict no matter the evidence. The question is will the white jurors be bullied by the black jurors into a conviction like in the OJ case. Of course any white juror who acquits will be called a racist.

Martin´s girlfriend lied to police twice. Remember, she was supposedly talking to Martin during the incident. Will the prosecution allow it to come out before the trial, so as to defuse her lies? She lied about her age (18) not 16 as she claimed...she lied about not appearing before the police for questioning because she was sick and in the hospital (she was not). If she would lie about small things, what ELSE would she lie about? Florida should drop the charges, why become a laughing stock. That the Judge would NOT allow Zimmerman´s attorneys more time to prepare the case is telling. Zimmerman´s future is at stake, and the Judge would not allow him a little more time? Prosecution has NOT cooperated with discovery and defense needs the evidence to prepare their defense. We will have to watch that Judge very carefully, as she may have an agenda.

Zimmerman white and Martin black = guilty
If Zimmerman black and Martin black = just another Chicago killing
If Zimmerman white and Martin white = ban guns, bullets, clips, powder, lead, primers, and any anything else used by right wing gun nuts.

If she doesn´t call off the dogs soon, my hope is that Angela Corey ultimately gets the "Mike Nifong treatment". Nifong was the dishonest DA in Durham, NC who bullheadedly pursued rape charges against members of the Duke lacrosse team, and subsequently got crushed in an avalanche of counter suits. Corey, like Florida Governor Rick Scott, calls herself a Republican, but the Feds are obviously pulling her strings. Rick Scott has rolled over recently, and though he was once a staunch conservative, he has morphed into a pantywaist RINO. Pray for George Zimmerman.

Nifong could not pursue a trial because the wealthy defendants brought numerous suits against him. Why would they not allow a trial? There never was one you know. So much bias and untruth on all sides. I hate to see it here. The case was tried in the press just like the Zimmerman case, but by FOX against Nifong. When so much effort and money is spent to prevent a trial, one has to wonder why? That is, if one is interested in ´truth´ and not in race hatred and it goes both ways.

Those who are seriously interested in this case followed it from the outset at theconservativetreehouse.com, where some excellent, very diligent investigative work yielded (among other things) Trayvon´s tweets that showed him to be a serious young thug rather than an altar boy, his photos with the gold grills; and DeeDee´s tweets, that showed her to be nothing more than a friend of Trayvon - not the love of his life - and a person who had nothing important to do the day of his funeral, including going to his funeral.
This concoction was part of ambulance-chasing lawyer Benjamin Crump´s strategy to get a guilty verdict and then a big settlement in civil court. That is his specialty. The first things he did were invent DeeDee and have Trayvon´s school records sealed.
Theconservativetreehouse.com is running some recap work on what has happened in this case. Worth a look for the interested.

If Zimmerman were wealthy perhaps he could bring a case against the prosecutor. But doubt he would get off having a trial altogether like the Lacrosse boys did. Money talks in our justice system and even FOX has biases. I´m retired and listened intently to both sides in all media. There was a FOX contributer, attorney, name is Wendy .....? she hasn´t been there lately. She wrote a book called "Justice for Some" about this topic. There is some reason that after she spoke out on the Nifong thing, she no longer appears on FOX. Why do I feel it necessary to tell you that neither Wendy nor I black?

The left ha hung themselves on their own petards (to use an oft used cliche). They delay the trial, hoping to sooth the heat they inflamed so early in their effort to generate racial separation for the election. Now, they don´t know what to do with it. They know they will lose if this ever gets to court. Yet, they can´t now let the "tiger" go- they have made it far too vicious and are not quite sure they can control it. Once Zimmerman is proven to have not done anything illegal, the media will simply walk away, basking in the millions in revenue they garner by reporting the ten days of city burning that will result. And no one will hold them the least bit responsible. Useful idiots will still watch CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC and the rest. Our society is truly mentally ill. And no one can help us.

J-O-B-S, jobs." Actually, of course, it´s a four-letter word, and it was his job and the president´s to create a climate for job expansion, and they failed.

When your article inspires a big-city mayor to refer your case to a "human-relations commission," you know you´ve hit a nerve. And when that article is the recent "Being White in Philly" piece by liberal Robert Huber, you know it doesn´t take much truth to hit that nerve. That´s the scary part. Huber´s article contains mostly tepid examples of whites´ negative experiences with blacks and primarily black neighborhoods, such as a Philadelphia resident whose grill was stolen from her backyard but "blames herself" for not fencing it in. Its tone is basically apologetic, absolving a drug dealer of responsibility

That´s something to remember when you arrive there next week. Israel has a government, elected by its people in a free, fair, open and democratic election. Multiple parties representing widely divergent points of view met a wildly diverse electorate through free media and open debate. This is no stultified two-party affair with a libertarian insurgency. Israel will be the only country you visit in the region, this time or any other, that has a fully democratic system. Do not be swayed by the "apartheid" slander. Citizens of Israel are Jews, Moslems, Christians, and Druze, each with religious and non-religious elements.

The political world changed its orbit Wednesday as Rand Paul seized the spotlight in his March 6 filibuster. Rand Paul -- not this author´s favorite before -- is probably now the 2016 front-runner for president. But the difference results from fundamental changes in substance. How can one day be that big of a deal? Because Rand Paul demonstrated a reproducible, winning formula. It was as if Ronald Reagan were granted just one day to come back to Earth to remind the Party of Lincoln of "how it´s done." Rand demonstrated a repeatable formula that all Republicans can copy.

Sixty-three months ago Barack Obama officially declared his candidacy for President. Only now are some among the so-called media and ruling elites in America slowly awakening from their self-induced infatuation and beginning to understand who he is. It has become difficult to ignore the overt intimidation, demagoguery and deliberate falsehoods spewed forth by Obama relative to sequestration -- a miniscule cut in the growth of federal spending. However, any cursory examination of his past reveals that these tactics are second nature to the man who currently occupies the Oval Office.

Years ago, when I used to play poker with some guys, I played a hand in which across the table from me was someone who looked as though he had a straight flush. He kept pumping up the bidding and everyone folded but me. When we finally showed our hands he had nothing. "You don´t know what you´re doing," he yelled. "Any good player would have folded! Why did you stay in?" he shouted angrily. "Because you curled your lip and reacted furiously when I stayed in. Someone with a winning hand would never do that."

By law, on Friday the executive must begin to cut $85 billion from federal spending. Though, as is his wont, the president is blaming the Republicans for what he claims is a draconian measure. No less a Washington chronicler of events than Bob Woodward of the Washington Post considers that a gross distortion of the truth [T]he automatic spending cuts were initiated by the White House and were the brainchild of [Treasury Secretary nominee Jack] Lew and White House congressional relations chief Rob Nabors -- probably the foremost experts on budget issues in the senior ranks of the federal government.

Too little serious conservative analysis of the 2012 presidential campaign has yet appeared. This is understandable. The results of the election were disheartening to the point of shock. The campaign defied all historical precedent, all commonsense interpretation. The Romney ticket should not have lost and did not deserve to lose. The Democrats, fielding the least worthy ticket in the past century -- and that´s saying something -- did not deserve to win. The reasons they did are myriad and complex. But before we get too far down the road, there is one lesson that has to be grasped:

No, I´m not talking about Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael (God rest Michael´s tortured soul). I´m talking about the Chicago Jacksons, Jesse Sr. and Jesse Jr. The Jackson 5 in their heyday gave plenty: music, entertainment, and joy to their fans. The Chicago Jacksons are another story. Jesse Sr. (The Right Reverend) and his son (the erstwhile congressman) have done a lot more taking than giving. "Taking" may be too charitable a word. Shaking down and wheedling may be better descriptors for the Chicago Jacksons´ acts.

By now you likely have heard that Chris Rock considers Barack Obama America´s father. If that is true, then would somebody call Child Protective Services and find us foster parents! For Chris Rock, America´s true Founding Fathers were disappointingly white. I suspect that whatever the color of America´s Founding Fathers might have been, they would not have approved of having a failure like Obama among their esteemed membership. Thought the Founding Fathers had many flaws, they were smart enough to eliminate the self-indulgent institution of slavery from America´s future.

RUSH: Folks, I don´t know how else to categorize this. We are living in a dying country. I don´t know how else to categorize what´s happening -- 88,000 new jobs. The unemployment rate, because of a terrible statistic, is down to 7.6%. The number of people in this country who are not working is shameful. Ninety million Americans are no longer in the workforce. Ninety million. People not in the labor force grew by 663,000, and now 90 million. That´s the labor force participation rate. This is 1979 levels.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Sen. John McCain says he doesn´t understand the threats from some of his Republican colleagues to filibuster a bill on background checks to buy guns. "I don´t understand it," the Arizona Republican said on Sunday of the threat coming from Sen. Rand Paul,Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Mike Lee and nine other Republicans. "The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” "What are we afraid of? ... If this issue is as important as we all think it is, why not take ... it up and debate?"

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson, considered by some to be a potential Republican contender for president, apologized to Johns Hopkins University for the "poorly chosen words" he used in expressing his opposition to gay marriage last month.“I am sorry for any embarrassment this has caused,” Carson said in the letter, reported in New York Magazine.(Snip) "Although I do believe marriage is between a man and a woman, there are much less offensive ways to make that point. I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

Beyonce and Jay-Z celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary in Cuba this week. The couple, who married on April 4, 2008, took in the sights of Old Havana, visited a school, dined on a rooftop terrace and strolled the fan-filled streets in their island best.(snip).The power couple declined to answer journalists´ questions about their visit to the island nation, but some outlets are reporting that the moguls are there as tourists, though that would be illegal because of the half-century embargo the U.S. has on the Communist country. However, the Miami Herald said Washington has issued special licenses for
