Rittenhouse jury their verdict, Part I

This afternoon, the jury in the Rittenhouse trial delivered their verdict in the trial. Predictably and correctly, the Rittenhouse jury acquitted Mr. Rittenhouse on all 5 counts against him. Rittenhouse pleaded not guilty on the basis of self defense.

In summation, Judge Bruce Schroeder said "I couldn't have asked for a better jury to work with and it has truly been my pleasure. I think, without commenting on your verdict, the verdicts themselves, just in terms of your attentiveness and the cooperation that you gave to us, justifies the confidence that the founders of our country placed in you so I dismiss you at this time."

Meanwhile, Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, the chairman of the DCCC, aka the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee, issued this statement, saying "It’s disgusting and disturbing that someone was able to carry a loaded assault rifle into a protest against the unjust killing of Jacob Blake, an unarmed Black man, and take the lives of two people and injure another - and face absolutely no consequences." Add Rep. Maloney to the list of people that Mr. Rittenhouse should sue for defamation. In his statement, Rep. Maloney said the riots (let's call them what they are), not mostly peaceful protests, were about "the unjust killing of Jacob Blake, an unarmed Black man." First, Jacob Blake isn't dead. If he was, this interview would require a seance:

As the jury deliberates a verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, Jacob Blake is providing an update on his health. He was shot seven times in August 2020 by Kenosha police Officer Rusten Sheskey. The shooting left him paralyzed from the waist down.
Next, Blake wasn't unarmed:
In declining to bring criminal charges, Kenosha County District Attorney Michael Graveley found that Sheskey was acting in self-defense because Blake was armed with a knife and he had resisted arrest despite multiple Taser shots.
When the final verdict was read, Mr. Rittenhouse reacted emotionally:

What racist statement will Cori Bush make? Check it out: What evidence does Cori Bush have that Mr. Rittenhouse is a white supremacist? If all she's got is a handful of Twitter rumors, then I'd suggest that Ms. Bush find a good attorney to represent her in a potential defamation lawsuit. Nothing in the public record links Mr. Rittenhouse with militias or white supremacist organizations.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
