"There are lessons for the left and the right here.
Kyle Rittenhouse never initiated force against anyone. The jury was right to find him not guilty on all counts.
- For those on the right -- The justice system isn't what many of you think it is, and it's even worse for people who are poor and/or have low social status.
- For those on the left -- All those times you may have complained about prosecutors railroading innocent people by breaking all sorts of rules of due process, well... You just watched it happen, and you were on the wrong side of the whole issue.
Kyle Rittenhouse never initiated force against anyone. The jury was right to find him not guilty on all counts.
- If you're happy about the verdict: remember how badly you saw the prosecutors behave, and recognize that they are often like this - it's just that usually there's not enough public scrutiny to expose it. This anger at the justice system is what has animated many protesters, so look at it as an opportunity to find common ground on reform.
- If you're sad about the verdict: ask yourself what makes you choose to be on the side of the mob or the guy they're chasing, and how that decision is affected by narrative/propaganda. And why we don't see police officers who kill innocent people put on trial in this way.

I didn't know that Kyles Dad, Grandma and Friends all lived in Kenosha, 20 minutes from where he resided with his Mom part time in Illinois.I didn't know that Joseph Rosenbaum knocked him down twice and then attempted to kick him with lethal force to the head.
I didn't know that Huber had hit him in the head 2x with a skateboard.I didn't know Gaige Grosskreutz, a felon in possession of firearm, aimed his gun at Kyle first, as he admitted on the stand.I also didn't know that in the State of Wisconsin, it is legal for Kyle to have a gun, even at 17 (which was why the gun charge was dismissed).I didn't know that Kyle did not cross state lines with a gun he wasn't supposed to have. The rightful gun owner did, as he was legally permitted to do.I also didn't realize that Rosenbaum was a 5 time convicted CHILD RAPIST Pedofile and that Huber was a 2 time convicted WOMAN BEATER.

New poll shows overwhelming majority of West Virginia voters support Joe Manchin's opposition to Biden's massive spending bill - TheBlaze:
Manchin has been the target of Democrats who are incensed that the senator would not fully support the massive spending spree. Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) was so furious with Manchin for blocking Biden's "Build Back Better" spending plan that she accused him of being "anti-Black, anti-child, anti-woman, and anti-immigrant."

"UPDATE: Glenn Reynolds observes, “This is a big deal not only because of the merits of the individual case, which manifestly shouldn’t have been brought, but because all the effort around it by the left was aimed at establishing the principle that their thugs could riot in the streets, but that normals don’t dare resist.
This is a huge setback for that effort.”...Read all.

Horowitz: Are elites planning a COVID repeat ... with smallpox? - TheBlaze
Horowitz: Are elites planning a COVID repeat ... with smallpox? - TheBlaze:
So when Bill Gates is warning about smallpox right before vials of smallpox are discovered, and in the same week a Maryland woman tests positive for monkeypox, we should pay attention.
But that is not even the punch line. Just like with coronavirus, they were already working on a "cure." On June 4, the CDC randomly approved a smallpox drug, Tembexa (brincidofovir), because "there have been longstanding concerns that the virus that causes smallpox, the variola virus, could be used as a bioweapon."

"(The Center Square) – When an audit found that Michigan’s Unemployment Insurance Agency (UIA) paid out nearly $4 billion in ineligible claims, the agency acknowledged “some errors were made.”
...“The agency had two choices:
- Either get the money out the door as soon as possible
- and don’t verify anyone’s eligibility,
- or they verify the eligibility, and it takes a little bit longer to get the money,” Johnson said.
“That decision cost the state of Michigan $4 billion.”
...Senior UIA staff said said that former UIA Director Steve Gray “made unilateral decisions” before his Nov. 2020 resignation and then, at that time, secretly pocketed an $85,872 severance deal and a confidentiality agreement amid months of record jobless claims.
