Interesting video –  Note this is not an interview per se’, this is NBC’s Chuck Todd going through the Media Matters Rebuttal points to a Scott Walker victory.
As Todd goes systematically through the liberal questioning you can actually hear him make verbal cues known in psychological circles as “self-cues” or mental “trip wires”.  A mental trip wire is contacted each time a rebuttal factually deconstructs the argument.

When an interviewer is prepared and anticipating an antithetical (opposition to their views) response rebuttal they can, at times, give off a visible sound, usually it’s very subltle (they don’t even hear themselves doing it):”yeah”, “yes”, or “un-huh” (all in the affirmative).   The oratory clues are actually tip off’s the questioner is searching for another approach of attack, and wishes to move past the current question which has failed but it now being responded to.  Listen closely.

For the latest example in total and complete reality disconnect we travel back to the Left Coast courtesy of Bill Maher and Socialist Bernie Sanders.
Painful though it may be to watch – it’s worthwhile as an exercise in sharpening the saw:

You already knew the liberal bias existed in Print and Broadcast Media, Entertainment and Academics but the scope of it might even surprise the most staunchly informed.
(Capitol City Project) Conservatives have long believed American culture is entrenched with a liberal bias, only to be scoffed at and called paranoid. However, three new charts dealing with political donations from academia, media, and Hollywood prove this to be the case.
Business Insider was provided a data set of federal campaign contributions dating all the way back to 1980, making the sample size considerable. The data set confirms that media, academia, and the entertainment industry are some of the most liberal professions in America. The findings were provided by CROWDPAC, a non-partisan analytics firm based out of California.
“In compiling all this data, and building these tools, we have the opportunity to shine some light on the political system and reveal some interesting insights and trends,” Crowdpac CEO Steve Hilton said of the findings. “For example, our real data conforms with the claims that have been circulated about the extremely liberal profile of the entertainment and media sectors.”  (Continue To See Charts)

Two “Stop the Violence” organizers allegedly beat one of their colleagues so severely that he vomited blood and was left unconscious in critical condition.
Nikole Ardeno and Emanuel Velez, both 30, accused their former roommate of stealing their property, and allegedly punched and kicked him in the street until he had seizures. Arrested moments later, Ardeno was still wearing the same “Stop the Violence” T-shirt she had on the night before when she coordinated a march protesting two recent shootings, Washington Police Chief Chris Luppino said.

Cudos to the WT for being one of the few media outlets willing to expose the insufferable tentacles of the Social Engineering tool now known as “disparate impact”.  

Disparate impact works around the race-baiting problem of equal opportunity by advancing a proposition that only equal outcomes can define whether an adverse impact exists.  A ridiculous proposition.   All people are created equal – but not all people take advantage of the equality afforded them;  some -if not many- are just lazy, and their failures cannot -and should not- be comingled with the success of those who exert effort.

If the Treehouse had infinite financial resources we would challenge disparate impact everywhere it raises its ugly head.  In the interim we will assist ANY endeavor with research, argument formation, and fact-based analysis to deconstruct the racial underpinning used as the foundation to advance a ridiculous ideological construct.
WASHINGTON TIMES – A federal judge overturned the Obama administration’s “desperation” move to try to find more ways to prove discrimination in housing in a decision Monday that also delivered a searing rebuke to Thomas Perez, a Cabinet official whom liberals are pushing to be the next attorney general.
Judge Richard J. Leon ruled that the administration cannot rely on “disparate impact” to judge discrimination, dealing a blow to civil rights groups that said the analytical tool gave them more room to file discrimination cases. (more…)

Black activists furious anyone would dare to point out that Maxine Waters doesn’t live amid the impoverished proletariat who she demands must vote for her magnanimous self.   Shocked, “shocked”, they are.

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Southland civil rights leaders Monday called for an investigation into what they described as a racially offensive campaign against local Congresswoman Maxine Waters.
Posters featuring a black-and-white illustration of Waters bordered with the words “Poverty Pimp” have been plastered on streets and near freeways and businesses throughout Los Angeles, Inglewood and the South Bay. […]
Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable President Earl Ofari Hutchinson and other activists began taking down the posters at various locations Sunday and are demanding a “fast track investigation” by the California Fair Political Practices Commission. (more…)

Another suspected (non-insured) Ebola patient is receiving expensive, time consuming medical attention after landing at Newark International Airport on Friday, clearing US Border and Customs Inspection and taking a long bus ride from New Jersey to a relative’s home in North Carolina before spiking a fever and contacting the CDC which triggered the hospital admission:
“….A male patient, age unknown, was transported today to Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, and is being tested this evening for Ebola virus infection.
