Are there justice free zones in America today?
Facebook - Michael Smith"Are there justice free zones in America today – places where a fair trial is practically impossible?
I think the evidence says that there are, especially if you are a Christian, a conservative Republican or a former president named Donald J. Trump.

- ...We just saw a man convicted of murder - in Texas of all places – for protecting himself. U.S. Army sergeant Daniel Perry fatally shot a “protester” at BLM demonstration in 2020, the “protester” in question was approaching Sergeant Perry while pointing the business end of an AK-47 at him...A Travis County grand jury returned a murder indictment against him...
- Then there is the case of the Arizona rancher, George Kelly, who shot and killed an illegal alien crossing his property after being constantly faced with illegals threatening him, his wife and property for the past two years....The man he killed, identified as Gabriel Cuen-Butimea, was convicted of illegal entry and deported back to Mexico several times, most recently in 2016. Santa Cruz County went for Biden in 2020 in a margin of 67.2% to 32.8%. How much of a chance do you suppose Kelly has?
- About as much as a J6 protestor charged and tried in Washington, D.C. (that went 92.1% to 5.4% for Biden over Trump in 2020).
In these jurisdictions, the fates of Sgt. Perry, George Kelly – and Donald J. Trump – were sealed the minute they were charged...

GERMANS HAVE GIVEN UP ON “GREEN” ENERGY
GERMANS HAVE GIVEN UP ON “GREEN” ENERGY
An overwhelming majority of the German population is of the opinion that a successful energy transition is not realistic. According to a Forsa survey, 88 percent of respondents share this view.
88 percent! That is stunning.
The Germans have less and less confidence in the Federal Government’s plans for the energy transition. Only ten percent still believe that renewable energy systems such as photovoltaics and wind power can adequately meet the country’s energy needs...
Meet the Left's New Soros: Swiss Billionaire Becomes Democrat Mega-Donor
Meet the Left's New Soros: Swiss Billionaire Becomes Democrat Mega-Donor:
The Sixteen Thirty Fund’s multi-million dollar grants singlehandedly powered some other organizations on the left, and it also incubated other groups, as a “fiscal sponsor,” that fought against Trump’s Supreme Court nominees, backed liberal ballot measures and policy proposals in different states and organized opposition to Republican tax and health care policies. [Emphasis added]
Its massive 2020 fundraising and spending illustrates the extent to which the left embraced the use of “dark money” to fight for its causes in recent years. After decrying big-money Republican donors over the last decade, as well as the Supreme Court rulings that flooded politics with more cash, Democrats now benefit from hundreds of millions of dollars of undisclosed donations as well. [Emphasis added]
Meanwhile, the New Venture Fund, which has received almost $40 million in donations from Wyss since 2016, centers its nonprofit work around the tenants of Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
“Our vision is an equitable world built on respect, access, opportunity, distributed power, and advancement for all people,” the group’s mission statement reads.
From 2010!!-----Classic Stossel: Battle for the Future
"The news is ugly.
Big government keeps growing.
The Federal government alone, now spends $19,434 per American.
When I did this video 12 years ago, it was ONLY $10,000.
Back then two visions were at war for the future of America: On the left, the progressives, on the right, the conservatives.
They clashed about the healthcare bill, Wall Street reform, and the stimulus packages.
But the fight really boiled down to one key question: Do we need MORE or LESS government?

Texas AG Paxton slams 'Soros-backed' prosecutor after jury convicts Army sergeant for shooting protester | Fox News:
FIRST ON FOX: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is lashing out at a "Soros-backed" prosecutor after a Lone Star State jury found Daniel Perry, a U.S. Army sergeant, guilty in the shooting death of an armed protester in Austin during anti-police demonstrations in the summer of 2020.
"Self-defense is a God-given right, not a crime. Unfortunately, the Soros-backed DA in Travis County cares more about the radical agenda of dangerous Antifa and BLM mobs than justice," Paxton said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
"This week has shown us how rogue prosecutors have weaponized the judicial system," he added. "They must be stopped!"
Maybe because the media lies to us? On purpose!-----The more you trust the media, the less accurate you are
