… even within the black community of Sanford.   Wow, what a staggering turn-a-round.   The NAACP event, which was WIDELY publicized by the ever helpful media, was a MASSIVE Thud.   Less than 200 people showed up at the Allen Chapel AME Church.

No Al Sharpton? No Ben Jealous?  No Jesse Jackson?

This is HUGE news.   Of course the NAACP goes in full spin control mode and proclaims they are not going to protest at the courthouse, because no-one should tell them where they can protest.   Which actually means, we can’t get enough people to show up so we’ll make some pathetic excuse to avoid the reality.   I was wondering why the media was not showing the outside of the courthouse.  Makes sense now.  No wonder the Scheme Team is distraught.  Here is the story from an NAACP friendly, white-apologist, local media outlet.

SANFORD — As the first day of the George Zimmerman trial comes to a close, supporters of Trayvon Martin and his family joined together not far from the courthouse to remember the teen.

Nearly 200 members of Seminole County’s NAACP spent the night of opening statements not in protest zones or in rallies but rather in prayer at the Allen Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Sanford. (more…)

SEN. TED CRUZ (R-TX): We have seen this play before. It is reminiscent of Obamacare, yet another bill that we were told we’ve got to pass it to find out what’s in it. And, unfortunately, it seems, there are some republicans eager to go along with the democrats in the mad rush to pass this bill. In the 2007 immigration debate, close to 50 amendments were considered. In this debate, only nine have been debated. I introduced seven substantive amendments to improve this bill. Not a single one has been considered on the floor of the senate.

My point is very simple: what is the rush? Why are we proceeding gangbusters? And the only explanation that makes sense is there are many senators it seems in this body perhaps on both sides of the aisle that very much want a fig leaf. They want something that they can claim we are supporting border security when, in fact, this bill does not.

The first and most important difference is this amendment provides legalization first and then border security maybe at some time in the future. We have seen this before. In 1986 it was the same promise congress made, and we got the legalization, we got the amnesty and we never, ever, ever got border security. In contrast, the amendment I introduced reflects the will of the American people to have border security first and only then the possibility of legalization.  (read more)

Today, June 24th, is DAY #11 (of 3rd week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case.  The first day of the actual trial.  The previous two weeks were jury selection and the conclusion of the Frye Hearing.

Over the weekend Judge Debra Nelson ruled that State voice identification experts would not be allowed to claim Trayvon Martin was the voice heard calling for help on the 911 call tapes based on unproven science.   The jury reported for sequestered duty on Sunday.

You’ll never get the 22 minutes back again, but you’ve come this far….

It’s amazing really to pause and reflect upon the fact THIS, this conversation, this interview, is the ONLY evidence that created the probable cause affidavit and led to the arrest of George Zimmerman. The entire case is established around this. And yet, she’ll never reach the Witness Stand….
