George Zimmerman FREE and Armed!



By John W. Lillpop


Despite being cleared of any crime whatsoever in the tragic death of Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman continues to be maligned and vilified by the mainstream media and race hustlers like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

Zimmerman also faces discrimination at the hands of Attorney General Eric Holder who continues to search for a way to step on Zimmerman’s neck by using the full force and power of the federal government to pacify other Zimmerman haters. Holder has succeeded in preventing the state of Florida from returning Zimmerman’s gun to him upon his release.

However, despite Eric Holder’s personal vendetta, Zimmerman is FREE and ARMED!

As reported at the reference:


Dash-cam footage emerged today showing the moment that George Zimmerman was pulled over by a police officer in Texas for speeding and told them he was carrying a gun.

Just over two weeks since his dramatic acquittal for the murder of Trayvon Martin, 17, Zimmerman was issued the warning on Sunday in Forney, Texas, just 25 miles from Dallas.

The latest traffic incident comes a week-and-a-half after Zimmerman rescued a family-of-four from their upturned SUV over a thousand miles away in Florida, near where he shot Martin dead.
With Zimmerman facing death threats following his acquittal, his brother Robert said that his family have to deal with rumors about his whereabouts every day.

He added that they go to great lengths to ensure their safety in accordance with the law.

CBS Dallas Fort Worth have claimed that the officer did not recognize Zimmerman, who has been at the center of a nationwide controversy since he was found not guilty of the second-degree murder and manslaughter of Trayvon Martin earlier this month.


ndeed, Zimmerman is even reported to have asked the officer if he knew his face from television and the officer again told the one-time Florida neighborhood watch captain that he did not.

While being questioned by the officer, Zimmerman, who was driving a 2008 Honda pick-up with Florida plates, told the officer that he was armed and was instructed to keep the gun in the car's glove-compartment.

The officer issued Zimmerman a warning for speeding and then sent him on his way - but not before asking him where he was going, to which he replied 'nowhere in particular'.

'Nowhere in particular, why is that?' responded the officer according to In Forney.com

'You didn’t see my name?' said Zimmerman. The officer then responded, 'wow, what a coincidence.'”

Deficits Are Shrinking? Then, Why Raise Debt Ceiling, Mr. President?




By John W. Lillpop



As President Barack Obama begins a series of speeches focused on his latest “Summer of Recovery” failure, he made a point of noting that deficits are SHRINKING.

Of course, the President was referring to the annual budget deficits, not the onerous $16.5 trillion dollar overall ball and chain that is being manacled to future generations of Americans.

That number ($16.5T) has been virtually ignored by Obama who would prefer that his legacy not be muddled with austerity and other responsible fiscal policy. Better, he calculates, to deny and lie and simply kick the deficit can down the road.

However, watching Obama willfully dance around the deficit mess, which he continues to blame on W. Bush, one would like to ask, If deficits are indeed shrinking, why in the hell are you seeking to raise the debt ceiling, Mr. President?

The truth is that Obama seeks a greater debt ceiling to accommodate even more wasteful spending on failed progressive policies! The same policies which are stifling economic growth and the creation of jobs!

When will liberals like Obama ever face reality?

Democrat Anthony Weiner: Poster Child for Peter Principle!




By John W. Lillpop


With his latest public mea culpa in which New York City Mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner admitted to even more bizarre perversions involving his private parts, social media, and text messaging, the lifelong Democrat has become the poster child for the Peter Principle which holds that “people tend to rise to their level of incompetence.”

As reported at the reference,

With his wife by his side, Anthony Weiner said Tuesday he's not dropping out of the New York City mayoral race despite new revelations that he sent additional lewd photos and text messages after he left Congress in disgrace for his prior online chats.
Weiner, who resigned his House seat in June 2011 after acknowledging having sexual conversations with at least a half-dozen women, told a hastily called news conference he would stay in the race despite the new onslaught of negative publicity.

“I’m sure many of my opponents would like me to drop out of the race but I’m not going to do it,” he said, adding, he hoped the people of New York were "willing to still continue to give me a second chance."

Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin, told reporters that she loved her husband and had forgiven him.”

Most appalling of all, Weiner has refused to quit the Mayoral race, citing his desire to share his “vision” for New York with the 8 million plus residents of the great city.

Earth to Anthony: You have already shared way too much with the world! Your vision is obviously limited to dirty photographs and phallic obsessions.

Why not give Huma and the world a break: Zip up your pants, destroy your camera, cancel your twitter and text accounts, and take on a position more in keeping with your intelligence and moral standards?

I.e., why not become the official “Village Idiot” for New York City, a role for which you are very well qualified and have immediate name recognition?

Nancy Pelosi’s “Progressive” Proposal for Immigration Reform



Satire by John Lillpop




For Immediate Release

(San Francisco)---The following press release was issued by the Office of Nancy Pelosi, former, but deposed, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives:

With the illegal alien mess again in the headlines, Nancy Pelosi believes that the American people need progressive ideas and leadership when it comes to the issue of immigration.

In order to steer America away from the subhuman quagmire that Republicans have created, Pelosi is proposing the following program to make America a more attractive destination for third world peasants to invade.

In her own words, then, Nanny Pelosi offers her greeting to illegals in America and to the remaining peasants in Mexico who have not yet invaded America, but who will do so when monthly food stamp and welfare allotments increase by at least 10 percent.

Nancy Pelosi's Progressive Program to Fix Immigration


No Human Being Is Illegal

As Democrats, we believe that the term "illegal alien" should only be used when referring to the invasion of a woman's uterus by an unwanted fetus, and then only as needed to provide concise language for the death certificate of the aborted interloper.

When used to describe migrants from Mexico and other Latin nations, the term illegal alien is xenophobic and morally repugnant, and is a pernicious denial of the humanness of some of the most talented janitors, housemaids, burger flippers, and fruit pickers in America.

We Democrats also object most vehemently when "illegal alien" is used as a derogatory slur against killers, MS-13 gangsters, drunken drivers, welfare cheats, identity thieves, drug smugglers, child molesters, and other future constituents who are down on their luck and in need of a helping hand, rather than a kick in the posterior.

As top Democrat whacko in the House, I have drafted redemptive legislation to add "illegal alien" and "wetback" to the list of terms that qualify as hate speech in America.

This draft is being reviewed by Mexico’s President and Congress, and will be released to U.S. House members after all comments from Mexico's leaders have been resolved to the satisfaction of Mexico.

A Spanish translation of the draft will also be sent to the White House for President Obama to review. (He IS studying Spanish, you know!)

For the record: The preferred term for those living here, but missing a silly piece of paper or two, is "Undocumented Constituent."

America Must Be Deportation-free Sanctuary

Tens of millions of undocumented constituents hide in the shadows of American society, afraid to assimilate because of fear of punitive action by a government that hates the color brown.

San Francisco pioneered the "Nuclear-free" zoning concept several years ago to alert the world that The City is completely free from nuclear weapons and should not be attacked.

That policy has worked beautifully, because there have been no nuclear incidents since the declaration was codified into San Francisco's City Charter.

Using the same template of success, I hereby designate America as a deportation-free sanctuary to anyone who can prove that he/she is here from Mexico without proper documentation, who speaks Spanish, but absolutely no English, and who is destitute and in need of public services to survive.

As an added benefit, undocumented constituents who can prove they are HIV positive are also eligible for free housing, health care, and transportation in San Francisco.

These progressive enhancements will surely make undocumented constituents feel most welcome and, we hope, shadow free!

Bring Troops Home to Reduce "Pressure" on the Border

As President Obama strives to end the dumb wars started by George W. Bush, we believe that that the immigration problem in America is the result of too much "pressure" on America's borders.

Accordingly, we Democrats intend to help our blessed president take pressure off the borders by requiring that all US troops be withdrawn from Afghanistan and sent to the border with Mexico by August 10, 2013.

At the border, our brave military troops would escort and assure safe passage for any and all Latinos wishing to invade America.

American troops would be authorized to use whatever force needed, including lethal, to prevent renegade border patrol agents and outlaw vigilantes, AKA Minutemen, from hindering the flow of undocumented constituents into the promised land.

In addition to providing escort services, our troops would be used in a door-to-door campaign to confiscate every last firearm in the unsteady hands of ordinary Americans.

Gun Control: Repealing the 2nd Amendment

As tragic circumstances in our nation continue to made quite clear, America must establish far greater legal impediments to all forms of gun ownership.

Repealing the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution is the only reasonable recourse for responsible Americans.

In addition, we Democrats strongly support a recent proposal by a Canadian journalist that would have the U.S. military go door to door to confiscate guns.

Undocumented constituents are overwhelmingly in favor of repealing the 2nd Amendment, and would make excellent door to door "confiscators" in America's war against guns.

This is yet another reason why America must bring as many of these people into our nation as soon as possible.

Diversity and Tolerance Workshops

American citizens, particularly white Christian Republicans, can be an intolerant lot, especially when it comes to Spanish-speaking people.

A special outreach program should be established to eliminate racist thinking in bigoted whites by showing how undocumented constituents contribute to the America in so many ways.

Think about it: Were it not for undocumented constituents, America would have to fire scores of thousands of police officers, prison guards, probation officers, judges, bail bondsmen, drunk tank officers, car wash managers, and translators in our system of justice.

Without undocumented constituents there would be a calamitous oversupply of food stamps, Cuervo beer, DUI defense attorneys who speak Spanish, welfare caseworkers, ID theft investigators, and English as a Second Language (ESL) instructors.

Undocumented constituents are vital to America's economy and white folks need to wake up and smell the refried beans!


Higher Taxes, Redistribution of Wealth


One of the gravest problems facing America in 2013 is that all the wrong people have money.

Rich, white Republicans control most of the nation's wealth, but these people are simply the wrong people to be in control of so much wealth.

We Democrats support a progressive tax structure to level the playing field between the filthy rich and the unwashed poor.

Undocumented constituents are ALL poor and would vote unanimously to soak the rich with higher, higher, and even higher taxes!

Summary:

America faces many difficult challenges. But by bringing our troops home, tearing down impediments to newcomers, repealing the 2nd Amendment, and enacting other progressive ideas, we can save America for future generations of impoverished, illegal Mexicans.

Join me and the Democrat party as we work to make America truly the "Land of the Free" for scores of millions of good hearted, hard working people of color.

Let me close with a deep and inspirational spiritual thought: God dang America!

Just a Two-Day “Anger Fit,” Reverend Al?




By John W. Lillpop

Pity poor Reverend Al Sharpton.

Just when it appeared as though the George Zimmerman verdict had pumped new life into Sharpton’s Protesting for Profit money scheme, things somehow went wrong. Terribly wrong.

Which is a good thing, because for a while, it seemed as though the Reverend had struck gold when the jury in Florida followed the law, and common sense, and found George Zimmerman “NOT GUILTY” of second-degree murder, or even manslaughter.

Not Guilty? Barely had those words echoed through the Florida courtroom before Sharpton announced his grand scheme for protests in 100 cities.

“”People all across the country will gather to show that we are not having a two- or three-day anger fit. This is a social movement for justice,” Sharpton said, in announcing his 100- city protest campaign
.

While responsible black leaders urged restrain and calm, the Reverend spotted a great opportunity to enrich the “Protesting for Profits” coffers and, as usual, he took immediate steps to rake in the booty from the
Zimmerman windfall.

The Lord himself seemed to be in Sharpton’s corner when the nation was pummeled by a blistering heat wave from coast to coast. Perfect protesting weather, right, Al?

From an even high authority, Sharpton’s scavenging off the scabs of racial disharmony was boosted when President Obama interrupted an otherwise ordinary press conference and declared that the History of Racism, including that of naughty ladies in elevators grasping their purses at the mere sight of a black male, justified the African-American obsession with sending George Zimmerman to prison for life, despite all the evidence and facts.

Triple-digit temperatures and a presidential slam against the chubby Hispanic “wanna be” cop seemed sufficient red meat to drive at least100 cities into racial discord, if only for the weekend.

All the pieces were coming together for Reverend Sharpton, just as Al and God intended.

Unfortunately for the “Holy” Reverend, his Protesting
for Profit gala was a flop. A real stinker to put it in plain profit and loss lingo.

Rather than tens of thousands of Rachel Jeantels protesting against white-ass crackers, a few hundred ill-informed race mongers looking to make the evening news invaded a few locales.

Most of the “protesters” were, in fact, losers employed by the mainstream media, in attendance to chronicle-film a bloody start to what Al hoped would be the 2nd American Revolution.

So just where in the hell were the real protestors?

Certainly not at home watching MSNBC or CNN news, given the putrid ratings turned in by those failed networks.

Even Barack Obama and family found more exciting adventures ….with the nation in shambles, the First Family will be dashing off to Martha’s Vineyard to cavort with white elitists, a vacation that surely beats the hell out of a weekend with Al Sharpton and his Protesting for Profits crusade!

What’s next for Al Sharpton and Protesting for Profits?

Bankruptcy may be the only choice left, Reverend.

May we recommend that you check for BK shysters in the Detroit area, where many are known to lurk these days?

Only Liars and Idiots Do NOT Use Racial Profiling!




By John W. Lillpop


The ongoing debate over the acquittal of George Zimmerman and the whole issue of racial profiling is baffling, at best, maddening at worse.

Fact is, if Zimmerman had not at least looked twice at Martin on that dark, rainy night of February 26, 2012, he(Zimmerman) would have been a complete idiot---the sort of watchman that burglars and thieves love.

After all, Zimmerman was surveying his watch area in response to documented instances of crime which had been perpetrated by young African American males. Not rumors or gossip!

In other words, it would have been prudent to give only a cursory look at little old Asian ladies on crutches, or blind peasants being pulled around by guide dogs.

But young black males in hoodies SHOULD cause alarm bells and whistles to go off!

Indeed, when putting one’s own safety and health at risk in a volunteer capacity for the community, then you HAD DAMN WELL BETTER TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT TRAYVON MARTIN AS HE WALKS IN THE DARK AND RAIN!

Which is not to say that Zimmerman should be programmed to automatically find and kill any black human male that he encounters. THAT would be racial discrimination of the worst kind, harking back to the days of the KKK.

However, it is to say that Zimmerman would be justified, AS WOULD ANY OTHER CITIZEN, in carefully scrutinizing Martin’s behavior, fully mindful of recent crime events.

Incidentally, Zimmerman’s detractors always point out that Martin was NOT ARMED…How in the world would Zimmerman know that?

Conversely to the issue, if a black man in a watchman role similar to that of Zimmerman had decided that Martin could be ignored because he (Martin) was black, THAT would be racial profiling, dangerous and completely unacceptable!

Racial profiling is an essential tool in combating crime and untoward circumstances. Refusing to accept that fact is damn near as criminal as burglary itself!



A Progressive Solution to What Ails Detroit!



By John W. Lillpop


In 2012, President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign included the following statement:

“I wasn't going to let Detroit go bankrupt.”

Like scores of other promises that Obama proffered, the tough talk on Detroit has turned into mush. In fact, Detroit has filed for bankruptcy protection.

True, that filing has been put on hold by a judge; however, the matter will eventually be adjudicated in a manner not likely to please Detroit politicians, debtors, or residents.

Some liberal commentators are calling for the federal government to bail out the once proud and great Motor City, but given the nation’s 17 trillion debt and the makeup of the US Congress, smart money is not betting on Detroit receiving a check from the US Treasury anytime soon.

Progressive scholars are working on an economic strategy to save Detroit and serve as a model for other troubled cities across the land.

Initial ideas for the Save Detroit think tank include the following:

( )Increase the minimum wage to a “living wage.”

( )Make union membership mandatory for all employment in the city.

( )Increase taxes paid by businesses, small and large.

( )Make welfare and food stamps more accessible. The progressive motto should be, “Everything for everyone!”

( )Forbid the use of criminal background checks, credit history, and other overly intrusive and discriminatory measures by employers in pre-employment screening.

( )Use City government to promote Democrat politicians for elective office. A zero tolerance program for Republican office seekers would be in the best interest of the city, county, state, and nation.


Any resemblance between the above elements and the current situation in Detroit is purely coincidental and must not be used to discredit progressive elitists!

Should “History of Racism” Mitigate Presumption of Innocence and Reasonable Doubt?



By John W. Lillpop

President Obama used an impromptu appearance in the White House press room on Friday to reiterate his essential theory for and about America and Americans.

According to Obama, America is, and has always been, a racist nation where denying people of color the opportunity to pursue happiness is the overriding political and cultural pastime of millions of white people, those despicable, gun-toting, bible-thumping descendants of slave owners.

The President was speaking from the heart (to the exclusion of his allegedly-superior brain?) in an attempt to soothe jarred nerves and dispel fits of anger among blacks and others who apparently believe that the “History of Racism” should trump reasonable doubt and other legal standards which operate on the presumption of innocence.

His “Father Barack” spiel implied that, at least when it comes to Hispanics like George Zimmerman, who take the life of a young black man such as Trayvon Martin, a higher calling must prevail.

As reported at the reference:


Obama spoke very personally about his own experiences growing up as a black man, saying, “There are very few African American men in this country who haven’t had the experience of being followed when they were in a department store. And that includes me.”


“There are very few African American men who haven’t had the experience of walking across the street and hearing the locks click on the doors of cars,” he continued. “That happens to me — at least before I was a senator. There are very few African Americans who haven’t had the experience of getting on an elevator and a woman clutching her purse nervously and holding her breath until she had a chance to get off. That happens often.”

As the President knows full well, no compassionate American would contend that the situations Obama cited(being followed in a store, hearing clicks on car doors, coping with a woman clutching her purse) are acceptable to anyone, regardless of race.

Likewise, most reasonable Americans honestly believe that any one of those experiences, or all of them collectively for that matter, are NOT justification for ignoring the standard of reasonable doubt, or the presumption of innocence.

Those standards should remain in place for George
Zimmerman and any other person, of any race, involved in
causing the death of a black man.

George Zimmerman is NOT responsible for the history of racism, nor should be held accountable for African Americans being followed in department stores, or click door locks, or unnecessary purse clutching.

George Zimmerman is NOT responsible for 400 years of slavery, mob lynchings, rampant racial discrimination, or other racial outrage visited upon blacks.

As to the history of racism, Obama conveniently overlooks the fact that numerous sources, including the FBI, have stated that there was no evidence of racism in George Zimmerman’s behavior.

Some have speculated that Obama’s Fatherly chat was really meant to let “his people” know that he is 100% with them in fighting racial injustice, AND to let them know, gently, that the notion of bringing a civil case against Zimmerman is a foolish fantasy with no chance of being successful and no chance, therefore, of being pursued.

The sad truth is that Obama’s parsed words incite even more hatred and contempt for George Zimmerman, the man whom the jury found NOT GUILTY!

Hispanic Male Shoots Black Male, Six Female Jurors Find No Crime. So, Why Are White Males Blamed?




By John W. Lillpop


Stunningly incomprehensible!

How else to describe the mental machinations that allow the mainstream media and racial malcontents like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Eric Holder to blame the Trayvon Martin slaying and verdict on white American males?

For the record, George Zimmerman is an Hispanic male who shot and killed a teen-aged African-American named Trayvon Martin.

George Zimmerman claims that he acted in self-defense. The State of Florida charged him with 2nd degree murder.

Six female jurists heard both sides and decided that the state had failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt.

George Zimmerman was acquitted by that all-female jury.

Thus, an incident involving brown on black violence was adjudicated in accordance with the rule of law, in a court of law.

Question: Just how in the hell do the facts in this case justify the destruction of George Zimmerman as proposed by Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Eric Holder?

Answer: The facts DO NOT JUSTIFY anything other than this: Leave George Zimmerman alone!





Lying Democrat Caught With Pants Up--- to Hide Them Being Down!



By John W. Lillpop

As a politician, Rep Steve Cohen (D-Tennessee) should be able to navigate the narrow path between truth and non-truth with guile and cunning. As a Democrat, this is particularly important since out right truth is to be avoided at all costs.

Unfortunately for Cohen, it appears the Democrat is an old school, good old boy who needs to bring his lying skills up to speed with modern technology.

As reported in this hilarious “gotcha” story:


The woman whom Rep. Steve Cohen has been claiming is his out-of-wedlock daughter is not, according to a paternity test revealed on Thursday.
CNN had a paternity test done on Victoria Brink with Cohen’s participation, although the Tennessee Democrat did not appear on camera. The test found no chance he was the 24-year-old’s father.

In a statement, Cohen said he was “stunned” at the result.

“I was stunned and dismayed at the results. I still love Victoria, hold dear the time I have shared with her and hope to continue to be part of her life,” he said.

During the 2013 State of the Union Cohen accidentally publicly tweeted at Brink, then deleting the tweets, writing in one “nice to know you were watching SOTU(state of the union).Happy Valentines beautiful girl. ilu.”

Cohen later explained the tweets to reporters, saying the young woman was his daughter, whose existence he had discovered only three years prior.

“I Googled her mother, found out she had a child and the math looked pretty accurate,” Cohen told NBC News at the time. “The mom told me we had a lot of catching up to do.”

The test found that the man who raised Brink, Texas oilman John Brink, is indeed her father.”

Advise for Rep. Cohen: Lying is an art form perfected by the Democrat party. Suggest you watch speeches by Barack Obama and or Bill Clinton for a crash course!

Reverend Al Sharpton, OJ Simpson, American Justice, and Race!




By John W. Lillpop


On October 3, 1995, OJ Simpson was acquitted of murder. His guilt had seemed so obvious, to some. The verdict shocked and angered scores of millions of Americans.

In the minds of millions of Americans, Judge Lance Ito had presided over a miscarriage of justice that allowed a brutal killer to escape punishment for heinous crimes.

Many continue to believe that OJ Simpson killed Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman and should have been held accountable, instead of being set free.

Reverend Al Sharpton was not among those who lamented Simpson's acquittal.


In fact, no religious or political leader led angry protesters through the streets to demand that Los Angeles be shut down because of the trial result.

Fast forward to July 13, 2013, where jurors in Florida ruled that George Zimmerman did not commit a crime when he killed African-American teen Trayvon Martin in self defense.

In this case, Reverend Al Sharpton decided that the Zimmerman verdict was unacceptable. The Reverend had this to say:

The Rev. Al Sharpton announced Tuesday that he will lead a national "Justice for Trayvon" day in 100 cities this weekend to press for federal civil rights charges against George Zimmerman.

Zimmerman's acquittal over the weekend in the shooting death of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin has touched off protests around the country. The Justice Department is investigating whether Zimmerman violated Martin's civil rights when he shot the 17-year-old during a February 2012 confrontation in Sanford, Fla. Zimmerman said he fired his gun in self-defense.

"People all across the country will gather to show that we are not having a two- or three-day anger fit. This is a social movement for justice," Sharpton said as he announced the plan outside the Justice Department with several ministers.

The rallies and vigils will occur in front of federal court buildings at noon Saturday in cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia and New York.

Sharpton admits there are possible legal hurdles, but says "there is also a blatant civil rights question of does Trayvon Martin and the Trayvon Martins of this country have the civil right to go home."

Sharpton says vigils will be followed by a conference next week in Miami to develop a plan to address Florida's "stand-your-ground" law. The law gives people wide latitude to use deadly force if they fear death or bodily harm.

A six-member jury acquitted Zimmerman of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges.”

A question for the Reverend: EXACTLY why do you believe that justice was not achieved in the Zimmerman case? And how is it that OJ Simpson can walk away from a brutal double murder without a peep from you?

Is it all about your race, Reverend?

Think Zimmerman Verdict Greatest Legal Travesty in History? What About OJ Simpson?




By John W. Lillpop


Journalists in the mainstream media, race hustlers like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, ordinary African-Americans, as well as people in responsible positions of power such as Eric Holder and Barack Obama, apparently believe the acquittal of George Zimmerman is among the greatest miscarriages of justice in US history.

To all who hold that view, one must ask: What about the acquittal of OJ Simpson on October 3, 1995?

As reported at the reference:

At the end of a sensational trial, former football star O.J. Simpson is acquitted of the brutal 1994 double murder of his estranged wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman. In the epic 252-day trial, Simpson's "dream team" of lawyers employed creative and controversial methods to convince jurors that Simpson's guilt had not been proved "beyond a reasonable doubt," thus surmounting what the prosecution called a "mountain of evidence" implicating him as the murderer.

Orenthal James Simpson--a Heisman Trophy winner, star running back with the Buffalo Bills, and popular television personality--married Nicole Brown in 1985. He reportedly regularly abused his wife and in 1989 pleaded no contest to a charge of spousal battery. In 1992, she left him and filed for divorce. On the night of June 12, 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were stabbed and slashed to death in the front yard of Mrs. Simpson's condominium in Brentwood, Los Angeles. By June 17, police had gathered enough evidence to charge O.J. Simpson with the murders.

Simpson had no alibi for the time frame of the murders. Some 40 minutes after the murders were committed, a limousine driver sent to take Simpson to the airport saw a man in dark clothing hurrying up the drive of his Rockingham estate. A few minutes later, Simpson spoke to the driver though the gate phone and let him in. During the previous 25 minutes, the driver had repeatedly called the house and received no answer.

A single leather glove found outside Simpson's home matched a glove found at the crime scene. In preliminary DNA tests, blood found on the glove was shown to have come from Simpson and the two victims. After his arrest, further DNA tests would confirm this finding. Simpson had a wound on his hand, and his blood was a DNA match to drops found at the Brentwood crime scene. Nicole Brown Simpson's blood was discovered on a pair of socks found at the Rockingham estate. Simpson had recently purchased a "Stiletto" knife of the type the coroner believed was used by the killer. Shoe prints in the blood at Brentwood matched Simpson's shoe size and later were shown to match a type of shoe he had owned. Neither the knife nor shoes were found by police.

On June 17, a warrant was put out for Simpson's arrest, but he refused to surrender. Just before 7 p.m., police located him in a white Ford Bronco being driven by his friend, former teammate Al Cowlings. Cowlings refused to pull over and told police over his cellular phone that Simpson was suicidal and had a gun to his head. Police agreed not to stop the vehicle by force, and a low-speed chase ensued. Los Angeles news helicopters learned of the event unfolding on their freeways, and live television coverage began. As millions watched, the Bronco was escorted across Los Angeles by a phalanx of police cars. Just before 8 p.m., the dramatic journey ended when Cowlings pulled into the Rockingham estate. After an hour of tense negotiation, Simpson emerged from the vehicle and surrendered. In the vehicle was found a travel bag containing, among other things, Simpson's passport, a disguise kit consisting of a fake moustache and beard, and a revolver. Three days later, Simpson appeared before a judge and pleaded not guilty.

Simpson's subsequent criminal trial was a sensational media event of unprecedented proportions. It was the longest trial ever held in California, and courtroom television cameras captured the carnival-like atmosphere of the proceedings. The prosecution's mountain of evidence was systemically called into doubt by Simpson's team of expensive attorneys, who made the dramatic case that their client was framed by unscrupulous and racist police officers. Citing the questionable character of detective Mark Fuhrman and alleged blunders in the police investigation, defense lawyers painted Simpson as yet another African American victim of the white judicial system. The jurors' reasonable doubt grew when the defense spent weeks attacking the damning DNA evidence, arguing in overly technical terms that delays and other anomalies in the gathering of evidence called the findings into question. Critics of the trial accused Judge Lance Ito of losing control of his courtroom.

In polls, a majority of African Americans believed Simpson to be innocent of the crime, while white America was confident of his guilt. However, the jury--made up of nine African Americans, two whites, and one Hispanic--was not so divided; they took just four hours of deliberation to reach the verdict of not guilty on both murder charges. On October 3, 1995, an estimated 140 million Americans listened in on radio or watched on television as the verdict was delivered.


OJ Simpson, not guilty? Now THAT was a travesty of justice!

While AG Holder Plays Racial Politics, Innocent Children Slaughtered in Chicago!


By John W. Lillpop



US Attorney General Eric Holder has geared up and is apparently in full combat mode for a righteous war on violence against the young.

Yes, this is the same Eric Holder who was party to the shipment of guns to Mexico in the Fast and Furious scandal, which cost hundreds of Mexicans and Americans their lives. And this is the same scoundrel who is still in contempt of Congress for failing to turn over documents related to that awful debacle.

THAT Eric Holder has now audaciously appointed himself the great protector of the young and innocent, as reported at Reference 1:


Attorney General Eric Holder said Monday that the Justice Department is “resolved” to “combat violence involving or directed at young people,” announcing that it has opened an investigation into the shooting death of Trayvon Martin as it said it would last spring.

“We are resolved, as you are, to combat violence involving or directed at young people, to prevent future tragedies and to deal with the underlying attitudes, mistaken beliefs and stereotypes that serve as the basis for these too common incidents. And we will never stop working to ensure that – in every case, in every circumstance, and in every community – justice must be done,” Holder said at an event celebrating the 100th anniversary of the black sorority, Delta Sigma Theta in the nation’s capital.”

However, if Holder is really serious about combating youth violence, Eric the Contemptible will be well-advised to move his anti-violence efforts to the real capitol of youth violence—Chicago, Illinois.

Indeed, as reported at reference 2, while the State of Florida and the mainstream media worked tirelessly to make George Zimmerman pay for 400 years of slavery and all other grief and inconvenience ever heaped upon black people, the slaughter of the young and innocent continued unabated in President Obama’s hometown of Chicago:


C
NSNews.com) – In the 20-day period of the George Zimmerman trial, four minors – three teens and a five-year-old boy - were gunned down in Chicago, according to Homicide Watch Chicago, a Chicago Sun-Times publication, which details every murder that takes place in the city.

On June 28, five-year-old Sterling Sims was killed in a double murder that also claimed the life of his mother, 31-year-old Chavonne Brown. Both were shot in their apartment, and police believe the motive was robbery.

On July 1, 16-year-old Antonio Fenner was gunned down on the sidewalk next to the body of a 32-year-old man who had gang ties. No arrests were made, and no suspects have been named. Fenner’s mother believes her son was in the wrong place at the wrong time, because no one in her family knew the other victim or what Fenner’s association was to him.

On July 3, 14-year-old Damani Henard was murdered outside a high school. His body was found next a bicycle.

On July 9, 15-year-old Ed Cooper was shot and killed while spending time with friends at the park. A gunman got out of a black van and began firing as the boys ran away. Cooper was shot in the street and continued running to a vacant lot where he died.”

These tragic deaths should cause President Obama and AG Holder to stop playing politics with issues like repeal of the 2nd Amendment and focus instead on workable solutions!

Exactly What Are Verdict Protestors Demanding?




By John W. Lillpop


It is a hallmark of our culture that the US Constitution protects free speech, even when it is illogical, nonsensical, and rather embarrassing.

For instance, according to news accounts, some Americans have taken to the streets to protest the acquittal of George Zimmerman who was found NOT GUILTY of any crime associated with his role in the killing of Trayvon Martin.

We can all understand the deep disappointment and hurt feelings suffered by the young man’s family and friends. He is dead and gone and the man who caused his demise is a free man.

However, rudimentary sentiments aside, just what exactly do the protestors want?

Would they be satisfied if the law was changed to include one or more of the following provisions:


( )Any individual who is known to have killed a young black male shall be convicted of murder or manslaughter, regardless of the facts involved, and shall be sentenced to prison for up to 30 years. No exceptions.

( )White and Hispanic females are racist by nature. Therefore, the composition of all-female juries shall include at least 12 percent African-Americans. Failure to abide by this formula shall render all jury decisions unconstitutional, null and void.


( )Any defendant who refuses to testify (to avoid cross- examination) is clearly guilty of all charges and shall be declared so by the presiding judge, as soon as judge is able to determine, beyond a reasonable doubt, that defendant has indeed elected not to testify.


( )Defense attorneys who argue with or otherwise demean the authority of the presiding judge are guilty of obstruction. The presiding judge may remedy said obstruction by deciding the case in favor of the prosecution without further ado.

( )Any murder trial in which the defense begins its case with a “Knock-knock” joke shall cause the judge to immediately declare the defendant guilty of all charges, with no option for appeal.



There you go. The wheels of justice roll uncontrollably toward bedlam in the golden age of Obama Tyranny!




“Self-evident” Truths from the Zimmerman Verdict







By John W. Lillpop

Liberal commentators are filling the air waves with exaggerations such as “It’s now OK to kill 17-year-old boys” and other such rubbish in wake of the Zimmerman verdict.

Despite the liberal tripping, it seems to me that the verdict does reinforce some self-evident truths which are worthy of celebrating.

Such as:


1. Being pummeled by a 17- year- old African American who looks how a son of President Obama might look does not obligate anyone, regardless of race, nationality, sexual orientation, etc., to accept great bodily harm or death without putting up a fight.

Self-defense is still a viable legal option and trumps political correctness when one’s head is being bloodied as a result of being repeatedly slammed into concrete.

2. The rule of law applies equally to all races, black, white, brown, or yellow. Thus, a white Hispanic male is protected by the full force of the US Constitution, the bill of rights, and is covered by the Declaration of Independence, despite being vilified as a cracker.

3. In conflicts between individuals of differing races, the rule of law confers no special protection and assigns no presumption of guilt on, or to, anyone based on race.

4. Justice based on politics is the stuff of third-world failed states and has no place in American jurisprudence.


5. Aspiring to be a cop is NOT an indictment of one’s character or indication of latent racism. Indeed, it usually reflects the sort of character that America looks for in public servants.



May these always be so!

Is Obama Exploiting Trayvon Martin Death to Trash 2nd Amendment?



By John W. Lillpop


Democrat politicians are notorious for living by the credo, “Never let a crisis go to waste!” Making political hay during times of national crisis is written into the DNA of most Democrat politicians, including that of our 44th president, Barack Hussein Obama.

True enough, politics is a rough and tough business, best avoided by those who blanch at the sight of blood.

Still, most Americans would expect even the most hardened politician to balk at the notion of exploiting the death of a 17-year-old African-American boy for raw political advantage.

Yet that is exactly the road President Obama is pursuing on the heels of the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin.

As reported at the reference:


President Obama called on the nation to honor Trayvon Martin a day after George Zimmerman was acquitted of his murder by asking "ourselves if we're doing all we can to stem the tide of gun violence."

His comments came as family members of Zimmerman and Martin, as well as pundits, celebrities, and court observers had strong reactions to Saturday’s not guilty verdict, with those reactions taking various forms — from joy and outrage to Shakespearean references and calls for peace.

"I now ask every American to respect the call for calm reflection from two parents who lost their young son. And as we do, we should ask ourselves if we're doing all we can to widen the circle of compassion and understanding in our own communities," Obama said in a statement on Sunday.

"We should ask ourselves if we're doing all we can to stem the tide of gun violence that claims too many lives across this country on a daily basis. We should ask ourselves, as individuals and as a society, how we can prevent future tragedies like this. As citizens, that's a job for all of us. That's the way to honor Trayvon Martin."

So, Americans can honor Trayvon Martin by challenging the constitutional right of law-abiding citizens to own weapons as provided for in the 2nd Amendment?

Just what the hell does gun ownership by decent citizens have to do with the tragic slaying of Trayvon Martin, said slaying determined NOT to be a criminal act by a properly seated jury in a court of law?

Shame on you, President Obama!

Using the death of a 17-year-old child to push an unrelated political agenda is about as cheap and dirty as it gets.

Let’s honor Trayvon Martin by taking the political theater out of the narrative concerning his death!

Whither “post-racial” America? Just Another Broken Promise?





By John W. Lillpop


Back in 2008, presidential candidate Barack Obama spoke hopefully of a “post racial” era in which the bitter divisions that separated Americans on the basis of race would be healed and the nation would finally be whole.

As a brilliant and educated African-American with rock-star qualities and a media-created image as a potential Messiah, candidate Obama convinced many that, if elected, he could usher in an era of racial calm and peace.

Four and one-half years following President Obama’s inauguration as the nation’s 44th President, race relations in America are more strained than when he took office. Of course, President Obama is not personally responsible for all the rancor between white and black Americans.

Still, this President has consistently sought to sustain and enhance his political strength by deliberately dividing Americans on the basis of class. Whether the issue is taxes, budget deficits, immigration, voting, or health care, Obama’s policies always pit one group of Americans against another.

Obama’s obsessive need to divide even permeated the tragic killing of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman, when Obama stoked the flames of racial discord by remarking that if he had a son, that son would look like Trayvon Martin.

Now that the jury has exonerated Zimmerman of criminal charges, many in the African-American community believe that justice has been denied.

How much the President contributed to that mind set is impossible to know. However, it is clear that President Barack Obama has failed to usher in a “post-racial” America, and has probably made a bad situation worse.

What better time than now, Mr. President, to use your bully pulpit to remind Americans that George Zimmerman was tried in accordance with the rule of law and that a duly-seated jury has decided the case based on admissible evidence?


Why not encourage all Americans to accept the verdict and march forward in peace and toward unity?

Sharpton, Jackson Secretly Hoping for Zimmerman Acquittal?



By John W. Lillpop


Despite their public statements to the contrary, it is clear that racial hucksters like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson really want George Zimmerman to walk away from his murder trial free and “innocent.”

When you are in the business of pimping racial hatred for a living, the last thing you need is for some chubby Hispanic cracker to be convicted and lead away to a prison cell for life just for snuffing a 17 year old punk with Skittles and iced tea.

A conviction would destroy the Sharpton-Jackson narrative which holds that America is still in the grips of a subtle form of slavery, one cleverly disguised by the presence of Barack Obama in the White House, Eric Holder as Attorney General, etc., when in fact nothing has changed.

A conviction would mean that Martin Luther King’s cry for a color-blind society is finally a reality. No more need to march through the streets to protest against the anti-black institutions that dominate American life.

A conviction would mean no riots, no wanton killings, no race wars---all sorely needed commodities at MSNBC and other leftist outposts presently dying on the vine from putrid ratings.


In a way, then, a Zimmerman conviction could be seen as a racist attack against the memory of Trayvon Martin and black people everywhere.

Perhaps Sharpton and Jackson should have a “back up” plan just in case justice is inadvertently served?

A proposed slogan: Don’t Be Fooled by the Zimmerman verdict. Slavery IS still very much alive in America!

Cure for "Shadows" Discovered: Deport Victims, Seal Borders!




John W. Lillpop

To hear all Democrats and RINOs tell it, the US government has enslaved tens of millions of poor, non-English speaking peasants from Mexico and other 3rd-world states in our great nation and is forcing the hapless victims to work in the “Shadows,” outside of mainstream society.

Welfare, food stamps and other social benefits reserved for bona fide citizens are being forced down the throats of the Shadow dwellers, to the tune of $113 billion a year paid for by US taxpayers.

Further, shadow people are not allowed to pay income taxes, are forced to drink ungodly amounts of alcohol and drive recklessly, and are otherwise encouraged to be problematic wards of the state.

This devastating wart on the psyche of Democrats and RINOs has forced said politicians to wage another mass suicide effort: Let's make illegal aliens LEGAL, so they will no longer have to live in the "shadows."

Political "leaders" like Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reidare actually trying to sell amnesty with this illogical message.

As is the case with ALL arguments in favor of illegal aliens, the "bring them out of the shadows" nonsense is nothing but recycled snake oil.

To begin with, illegal aliens are NOT forced to live in shadows. Each and every last one of these free loading criminals is free to obey U.S. law by getting the hell out of America and returning to Mexico.

Now!

And take your freaking shadows with you!

Secondly: In recent years, millions of illegal aliens marched boldly through the streets of Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas and other American cities to DEMAND amnesty.

Many foolishly waved Mexican flags and carried Spanish banners to publicize their demands.

Even to the most unsophisticated observer, it was obvious that these renegades were not inhibited and were certainly not timidly hiding in shadows.

The real solution to dealing with these miscreants:

Secure the borders militarily, deport all illegal aliens currently here, and enforce existing immigration laws.

In other words, let's have a "surge" at the border and in the barrios to rid America of this third world parasite!


It is the “right thing to do!”

Are Facts and Rule of Law Enough to Acquit George Zimmerman?



By John W. Lillpop

Noted legal commentator and expert Dan Abrams makes the case for acquittal of George Zimmerman, based on analysis of the facts and the law.

As reported at the reference, Abrams wrote the following:

I drew a legal conclusion on "Good Morning America" Saturday that would have surprised the Dan Abrams who covered the George Zimmerman case leading up to, and shortly after, his arrest.

Now that the prosecution's case against Zimmerman is in, as a legal matter, I just don't see how a jury convicts him of second degree murder or even manslaughter in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

So what happened? How can an armed man who shot and killed an unarmed teen after being told by the police that he didn't need to keep following him, likely be found not guilty of those crimes?

I certainly sympathize with the anger and frustration of the Martin family and doubt that a jury will accept the entirety of George Zimmerman's account as credible. But based on the legal standard and evidence presented by prosecutors it is difficult to see how jurors find proof beyond a reasonable doubt that it wasn't self defense.

Read More: Trayvon Martin Case: Does Zimmerman's Stand Your Ground Defense Depend on Who Started the Fight?

Prosecutors are at a distinct legal disadvantage.

They have the burden to prove that Zimmerman did not "reasonably believe" that the gunshot was "necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm" to himself. That is no easy feat based on the evidence presented in their case. Almost every prosecution witness was called to discredit the only eyewitness who unquestionably saw everything that occurred that night, George Zimmerman.

The essence of Zimmerman's account is basically as follows:

He spotted Martin, became suspicious, called police, was told he didn't need to follow him, was only out of his car to give the authorities an address, was jumped and then pummeled by Martin and as he was being punched and having his head knocked into the ground, Martin went for Zimmerman's firearm and Zimmerman shot him once in the chest.

The prosecution, on the other hand, called 38 witnesses to try to show: Zimmerman was a wannabe cop who regularly reported black strangers in his neighborhood; initiated and was at least at one point, on top during the encounter; that Zimmerman's injuries were minor and that many aspects of his accounts to the police and media were inconsistent and/or lies.

For a moment, lets put aside the fact that many of the prosecution witnesses seemed to help Zimmerman in one way or another.

As a legal matter, even if jurors find parts of Zimmerman's story fishy, that is not enough to convict. Even if they believe that Zimmerman initiated the altercation, and that his injuries were relatively minor, that too would be insufficient evidence to convict. Prosecutors have to effectively disprove self defense beyond a reasonable doubt. So what exactly would that mean based on the facts as we know them?

Let's take a hypothetical, but realistic, scenario whereby jurors don't believe Zimmerman when he says he wasn't following Martin (the lead detective who seemed to find Zimmerman's account credible had a problem with this part of Zimmerman's account).

Let's also assume they believe Zimmerman approached Martin and it is only because Zimmerman was tailing Trayvon Martin that a fight ensued. First of all, the fact that there was a fight at all makes a murder conviction difficult. To win a murder conviction, they have to show he had the intent to kill and did so with "depraved mind, hatred, malice, evil intent or ill will."


Abrams certainly seems to make the case that the “reasonable doubt” threshold for conviction has not been met by the prosecution.

The big question, however, is: Will the facts and the law survive the intense media and political pressure to convict a man who killed an unarmed black teenager? Will justice be served, or will Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson frighten the jury and judge into a wrongful conviction?

Time to Scrap Plans to Add Obama to Mt. Rushmore!



By John W. Lillpop


On the basis of the Obama re-election success and marginally improving economic situation, Obamamites have started a campaign to enhance the Mt. Rushmore landmark with the likeness of Barack Hussein Obama. That idea seemed to drive serious discussion just weeks ago.

However, in politics weeks can be an eternity. Since the first Barack on Mt. Rushmore mania was launched, The One has become mired in several scandals ranging from Benghazi to the IRS to the NSA spying fiasco which has US allies and foes alike stewing in simmering anger.

Then there is the matter of Obama’s ill-advised support for the Muslim Brotherhood and President Mohammad Morsi. That support has perhaps at least 14 million Egyptians riled and in the streets, some bearing anti-Obama, anti-American signage.

The wild antics of Edward Snowden and his campaign of espionage have left America looking foolish, childish, and pathetic.

Finally we have news that the Obama troops have delayed implementation of a key phase of the Obamacare nightmare until 2015, safely out of the way after the 2014 elections.

Failure, after failure, after failure.

Isn’t it time for Obamamites to face reality? That man, Barack Hussein Obama, is no more worthy for being included at Mt. Rushmore than he was for the Nobel Peace Prize!

Give it up folks: Mt. Rushmore is reserved for the great and successful. Mediocrity is not allowed!

Might Obama Resort to Executive Order Pardon If House Blocks Amnesty?

Might Obama Resort to Executive Order Pardon If House Blocks Amnesty?

By John W. Lillpop


President Obama is not the least bit shy when it comes to circumventing the rule of law and ignoring the constitutional powers granted the US Congress. He views the Executive Order as an instrument for implementing hope and change without the messy ordeal of going through a hostile US Congress.

Given Obama’s obsession with tyranny and the Executive Order, one wonders what might happen if John Boehner and the GOP House refuses to sign on to the Harry Reid surrender to the illegal alien crowd.

Specifically: If the Senate’s amnesty scheme is shelved by the US House, might President Obama decide that unilateral action is the “right thing to do,” and thus issue a carefully worded Executive Order legalizing all invaders and making them eligible for citizenship?

Just a thought to consider as this president is backed further and further into a hole of his own making.
