Kyle Rittenhouse's message for President Biden: 'Understand the facts before you make a statement'

 Rittenhouse’s attorney Mark Richards has blastedYahooconservative politicians looking to profit off his client. 

Yahoo   . . ."Rittenhouse’s attorney Mark Richards has blasted news sites like CNN and MSNBC for what he claims is a distorted image of Rittenhouse as well conservative politicians looking to profit off his client. 

" 'Carlson asked if he plans to “hold some of these liars to account.”

"“I have really good lawyers who are taking care of that right now,” Rittenhouse said. “So I’m hoping one day there will be some — there will be accountability for their actions that they did.”. . .

Tucker Carlson’s interview with Kyle Rittenhouse is fascinating 

 ..."By the way, regarding any defamation actions Rittenhouse does bring, some are suggesting that he’s a public figure which, under New York Times v. Sullivan, makes it virtually impossible for him to prevail. In essence, the defense to such a suit would be that, once the media and the Democrat political class made an unwilling Rittenhouse famous, they insulated themselves from a lawsuit. That argument perfectly fits the classic definition of the Yiddish word “chutzpah”—the man who kills both his parents and then throws himself on the mercy of the court because he’s an orphan."...  By Andrea Widburg

Why do leftists believe such obvious falsehoods in the case of Kyle Rittenhouse?

 . . ."But narratives have purposes, and the audience for them is not those who are objective or rational.  The audience is those who possess a will to act, and for whom "make-believe plays perhaps a more enduring role than any other factor."   Once people have been stirred to act, particularly if the act involves spectacle or is shocking, the movement appears larger and more significant than it actually is."Myths and narratives should not be dismissed simply because they are untrue or easily disproven.  They are intended to inspire people to act, and often act in dangerous and unpredictable ways.". . .

In Rittenhouse case, truth in the crosshairs, press objectivity be damned   . . ."No honest person with an I.Q. greater than that of an eggplant can deny this any longer."

Please Stop Trusting Anything The Mainstream Media ‘Report’

 Our hope is that we’re nearing rock bottom, if not already there, and a new day of objective journalism is at hand. If not, our country and our world are just going to grow darker.

Issues & Insights

"America’s mainstream, or legacy, media have an agenda. It’s not to subjectively report the truth but to further leftist ideas and policies, all of which are toxic. The press’ disinformation campaign to prop up critical race theory is yet another example of its effort to deceive, manipulate, and divide on behalf of the party it is constantly shilling for.

"A new study from the American Enterprise Institute found the media focus on schools teaching the history of slavery and racism, and largely ignore the “bedrock assumptions of CRT, including its explicit rejection of rationality and objectivity.”

"AEI’s Frederick M. Hess “examined all news accounts addressing CRT published over a one-year period by four major newspapers (the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today),” and several “influential education press outlets.” All are news accounts. None are opinion pieces.

“ 'Given that this admittedly revolutionary worldview is what motivates many objections to CRT-influenced pedagogy, one would expect news accounts to routinely address it,” Hess writes in “Media’s Misleading Portrayal of the Fight over Critical Race Theory.” . . .

Equal opportunity extremism: How women seized the moment in California’s far-right radical politics

The liberal California press thinks poorly of conservatives as you can see here:

Sacramento Bee  "On a warm Saturday morning in late September, the west lawn of the California Capitol resembled a back-to-school fair as moms huddled around booths set up along the sidewalk. This story was supported by the Pulitzer Center.

"Instead of brochures on lunch programs or sports teams, volunteers distributed packets and flyers on how to fight government tyranny. At one booth, a woman passed out homeschooling curriculum packets, which included a guide to the libertarian children’s book “The Tuttle Twins Learn About the Law.” 

"A woman in the crowd wore a black tank top that read “Just a Regular Mom Trying Not to Raise Liberals.” A bed sheet banner declared: “THIS IS THE NEW CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT.”

And that day, about 100 participants crowded the West Steps for an “empower the people boot camp,” where they practiced locking arms and singing, and staged a “sit-in” against public health requirements. They chanted “My body, my choice,” “I will not comply” and “I do not consent,” co-opting the language used for decades by liberal activists.

"To anyone following right-wing and conservative activism over the years, the scene would be startling. Male-dominated groups like the Proud Boys, Three Percenters and Oath Keepers often steal the headlines in stories about political extremism.

" But women, experts say, are becoming powerful leaders in radical circles."

Never Trumpers Jonah Goldberg, Stephen Hayes Quit Fox News in Protest of Tucker Carlson’s January 6 Documentary

Breitbart  "Famous never Trumpers Jonah Goldberg and Stephen Hayes quit as contributors for Fox News in protest of Tucker Carlson’s January 6 documentary suggesting that the Capitol Hill riot may have in part been sparked by the FBI.". . . 

. . .“Now, righting the ship is an academic question,” said Goldberg. “The ‘Patriot Purge’ thing meant: OK, we hit the iceberg now, and I can’t do the rationalizations anymore.”

Hayes, editor-in-chief of The Weekly Standard, worried that the documentary could lead people into believing “that there’s a domestic war on terror and it’s coming for half of the country.”

“That’s not true,” said Hayes. “The imagery of waterboarding and suggestions that half the country is going to be subject to this kind of treatment, that’s the same kind of treatment that the federal government used when it went after Al Qaeda.”

“[Tucker Carlson] pumped that stuff out into society, and all you need is one person out of every 50,000 people who watch it to believe it’s literally the story about what happened, that it’s true in all of its particulars and all of its insinuations,” he added. “And that’s truly dangerous in a way that the usual hyperbole that you get on a lot of cable news isn’t.”

Goldberg recalled National Review founder William F. Buckley, who famously purged the John Birch Society from the right-wing as part of his mission to impose “seriousness on conservative arguments.”

"A speeding red SUV plowed through a Christmas parade on Sunday, triggering what reports are calling a mass casualty event. An officer with the Waukesha police told Newsmax that shots had been fired but offered no further details about where or when.

"A police news conference revealed people had been killed, but the number or names of those killed was not given. Police said 11 adults and 12 children had been taken to hospitals.

"A person of interest is in custody, they said.

"According to Heavy, an officer reported that there were as many as 40 wounded or lifeless. Heavy adds that the shots fired came from the car that plowed through the parade, after which patrons began gathering loved ones inside shops.

"One man whose son was almost hit by the SUV told Heavy the details.

Michael Hurst, a woodworker from Waukesha whose son was almost hit by the SUV, says, "We just heard screaming up the parade route and looked over, and the red jeep or SUV came barreling through." . . .

Biden says house burned ‘with my wife in it,’ adding to long list of embellished stories

Yahoo  "President Biden said last week that his house burned down with his wife Jill Biden inside before trying to correct himself, adding to a long list of personal stories he’s embellished over the years.

"Speaking on a New Hampshire bridge on Tuesday about his bipartisan infrastructure plan, Biden said, "Without this bridge, as I said earlier, it’s a 10-mile detour just to get to the other side. And I know, having had a house burn down with my wife in it — she got out safely, God willing — that having a significant portion of it burn, I can tell: 10 minutes makes a hell of a difference."

"Biden has recalled the story before, saying in 2013 that a fire "destroyed a significant portion" of his New Hampshire home.

"However, a 2004 report from the Associated Press, archived by LexisNexis, said lightning struck the Bidens’ home and started a "small fire that was contained to the kitchen." The report said firefighters got the blaze under control in 20 minutes and that they were able to keep the flames from spreading beyond the kitchen." . . .

The Real Crime in Kenosha

 

The American Spectator

It’s injustice from top to bottom in Kenosha, and it’s provoked by the media.

"The media crime syndicate strikes again, targeting a teenager and creating mayhem in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Will they pay a price? Doubtful.

"Kenosha, Wisconsin, a mid-sized midwestern town on the west side of Lake Michigan, has around 99,000 residents. There are family-owned restaurants and businesses and neighbors know one another. Kenosha is about five minutes from the Illinois border. It’s two hours to Chicago or Madison and 45 minutes to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

"Like New York and New Jersey, lots of people who work in Wisconsin live in Illinois and vice versa. Kyle Rittenhouse was one of those people. His divorced parents lived within 30 minutes of one another — his mom in Antioch, Illinois, his dad in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Kyle worked in Kenosha. He had friends and family in Kenosha. His situation is not at all unusual.

"A wife abuser and alleged rapist in town, Jacob Blake, was harassing his victim, and attempting to take her child in her vehicle. She called police. The police knew Jacob. When they got there and confronted him, Jacob reached into his vehicle, grabbed a knife, and was then shot by a police officer.

"The story the media ran with? That police shot an unarmed, innocent black man, again. It was not true that Jacob was innocent. It was not true that he was unarmed. The media used lies to incite frustrated Americans. All hell broke loose. This was in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death. Tensions were high. The media stoked them with misinformation and anti-police propaganda.

"Within hours, protestors were mobilized. A bus was on its way from Seattle. These were not the peaceful, Martin Luther King-type protestors, locking arms and singing for justice. No, these were the type that went on an arson rampage and burned out the downtown of Kenosha." . . .

Welcome to the Club, Kyle: Rittenhouse Joins Pantheon of Young Men the Left Tried to Destroy  . . ."It’s a club no one asks to join, and the price of admission is unfathomable duress followed by a lifetime of watching your back.

"I’m not talking about merely having the Twitter mob come down on you and maybe even losing your college admission or job, as horrible as that is. I’m talking about the incomprehensible weight of knowing millions of people who have never met you hate you and are howling for your head. The pain of being defamed. The emotional and financial strain on your loved ones. The horror of being railroaded for something you didn’t do. Suffocating uncertainty about whether you even have a future.

"Kyle Rittenhouse is the latest victim of systemic leftist persecution, but he’s certainly not the first.". . .

That Wasn’t Thought Out: MSNBC Columnist Encourages People to Cut Their Cable to Hurt Fox News

 The American Spectator

“If that fails, I will drop my cable subscription.”

Dean Obeidallah

"MSNBC’s Dean Obeidallah published a column Wednesday urging his readers to pressure their cable companies to offer packages that don’t include MSNBC’s biggest competitor, Fox News. He encouraged them to join him in canceling their cable if the companies do not comply.

“ 'This is about using our wallets to have an impact on issues that matter,” he said. “I refuse to fund a channel spreading bigotry and undermining our democracy.”

"Obeidallah explained that a basic cable subscription funds Fox News hosts like Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham, as well as MSNBC hosts like Joy Reid and Nicolle Wallace because cable providers bundle channels into a package and customers pay for all of the networks they receive. Cable operators then pay carriage fees to networks. He said that Fox News receives almost $2 billion in revenue from these fees. 

“ 'If you pay for any basic cable package, you are helping fund everything that Fox News airs,” he said. “It’s infuriating that on some level you and I are complicit in the toxic fodder being peddled on Fox News by helping fund its content.”Obeidallah acknowledged that MSNBC is itself funded by these cable packages and receives these fees, but noted that these fees are much lower for his own network since its viewership is so much smaller. 

"The average customer pays around $2 a month in fees to Fox News, which is the most-watched cable network. In comparison, they pay around $0.33 to MSNBC. During primetime hours, Fox News has nearly twice the viewership that MSNBC does.

"Obeidallah is not alone in calling for cable companies to scrap Fox News, but he might be the first person employed by a network to call on people to stop purchasing a cable package if the companies don’t comply and to pledge to “drop” his own subscription alongside them." . . .

After four years spent painting Trump as a unique threat to the nation, progressive pundits have begun moving on to new villains.

"Delivering into the political ether a line that had hitherto been reserved to satirists, MSNBC’s Dean Obeidallah proposed on Tuesday that Florida governor Ron DeSantis is “more dangerous than Trump.” “Former President Donald Trump is a clear and present danger to our nation, at least, if you support our democratic republic,” Obeidallah wrote. “But DeSantis is more dangerous.”

"That was quick.

"The proximate cause of Dean Obeidallah’s ire is that Ron DeSantis isn’t setting the same masking rules for children as Dean Obeidallah would if Dean Obeidallah were the governor of Florida." . . .

McCarthy Slams Maxine Waters In House Floor Defense Of Paul Gosar

3 days ago

Look at all the things said and done by Sheila Jackson, The Squad, Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi. Etc ad nauseum! Rules for thee but not for me. Demorats are above the rules!!!

House Democrats have problem with Waters after judge calls her out . . ."House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., was already calling on Democratic leaders to take action to sanction Waters. Fox is told some Democrats are not pleased with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi saying that Waters shouldn’t apologize and didn’t think Waters' comments would spur violence.

"McCarthy now plans to introduce a resolution to censure Waters. Censure is one of the three formal modes of discipline in the House, wedged between reprimand and expulsion.

" 'Censure" is a severe, formal rebuke by the House. The full House must vote to censure a member. It requires a simple majority vote. The censured member appears in the well of the House with the Speaker presiding, officially chastising the offending member." . . .

Comment to this post:

19 April, 2021Please write your elected congressperson. If you object to waters behavior it is imperative that you advise your congress person to vote to the censure resolution mr. kevin McCarthy is introducing on Wednesday that could lead to further action. What she did was wrong and she must be held accountable. If you do nothing, nothing will happen

Former NY Times Reporter Says Paper Held Damaging Kenosha Riots Article Until After 2020 Election

Legal Insurrection

“Whatever the reason for holding the [Kenosha] piece, covering the suffering after the riots was not a priority. The reality that brought Kyle Rittenhouse into the streets was one we reporters were meant to ignore”

"The mainstream media were unquestionably biased about the August 2020 officer-involved shooting of Jacob Blake, the Kenosha riots that followed, and the story of Kyle Rittenhouse, who shot three people in self-defense, killing two of them after he went to a Kenosha Black Lives Matter protest to protect a car dealership from rioters as well as to render medical assistance if needed.

"It’s just nuts how much misinformation is out there about what happened in Kenosha, and much of it has come not just from Democrats and the Biden White House directly but also from the MSM – something even some liberals have admitted in recent weeks after they watched the trial and learned the actual facts of Rittenhouse’s case.

"Related to all of this is a tidbit of information former New York Times tech reporter Nellie Bowles wrote in a recent newsletter regarding a November 2020 story about how the Kenosha riots devastated communities of color." . . .  Full article....

Now we should all know why the media is called the "drive-by media"

“They come in with their cameras and their microphones and their news reporting, and they create an absolute mess,” he explained.  “They scare the hell out of people.  They literally cause carnage.  Their actions sometimes are destructive and ruinous to individuals.  They kill the reputations of people or try to. 

Rittenhouse acquittal tightens the political vise for Biden

Tony Branco

Yahoo  "A difficult political atmosphere for President Joe Biden may have become even more treacherous with the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse.

Biden was already facing sliding poll numbers with an electorate worn down by the coronavirus pandemic and increasing inflation. Now, the president finds himself caught between outraged Democrats — some of whom were already stewing over Biden’s inability to land police reform and voting rights legislation — and Republicans looking to use the Rittenhouse case to exploit the national divide over matters of grievance and race.

“This is one of the last things Biden wants to be engaging in at this moment as he tries to finish up the big Build Back Better bill and get that across the finish line through the Senate,” said Christopher Borick, director of the Muhlenberg College Institute of Public Opinion. “Race and Kyle Rittenhouse is not the space where he wants or needs to be going deep right now.” . . .

"Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel are among party officials who have called on Biden to apologize.

"“He smeared a teenager to score political points and spread lies about this case,” McDaniel wrote on Twitter. “What Biden did was dangerous and inflammatory.”. . .

UPDATE: Rittenhouse vs. Biden, the next thriller  "Back in August 2020, then-candidate Joe Biden compared Kyle Rittenhouse to a "white supremacist."  Why?  Does Mr. Biden know Kyle personally?  The answer is no, but that's what many did in the summer of peaceful protests.

"On Friday, Kyle Rittenhouse was found not guilty, and President Biden could not control himself again.  On the one hand, he said that we should respect the jury's decision, but then he expressed anger and concern over the verdict.

"First, why is the president of the U.S. getting involved in a trial?  Yes, it received national attention, but why does the president have to say something about everything?

"Second, what impact will all of this have on people who may get violent?  Won't they conclude that the trial was rigged because the president and others are concerned about it?

"Third, concerned about what?  What specifically is he concerned about?  Shouldn't he explain that to the nation?  I would like to know why he is concerned.  How exactly did the system fail us?" . . .

A Special Kind Of Stupid: Media And The Kyle Rittenhouse Case

...Not to be outdone in the stupid and racist, MSNBC convened a panel of 5 black pundits, each more racist than the last, to talk about what’s wrong with white people. The dean of race-baiting, Al Sharpton, led the woke-off by getting literally everything about the case wrong and not a single member of the Dumbass Brady Bunch screen said a word, either because the truth doesn’t matter or they’re too uninformed to know the truth themselves. . .

The MSNBC host compared Rosenbaum, Huber to allies in the Civil Rights Movement 

Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Fox News

"The "ReidOut" host urged viewers to think about the families of "those who died," hailing Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber for "defending Black lives," saying they "paid for it with their lives" and comparing them to White allies who helped Black Americans in the Civil Rights Movement." . . .

Why We’ve Decided to Tell You the Criminal Records of the Men Shot in Kenosha "The jurors have not learned details of these histories. These are the criminal histories of Joseph Rosenbaum, Anthony Huber, and Gaige Grosskreutz:" . . .

Joseph Don Rosenbaum

Joseph Rosenbaum "Court documents obtained by Wisconsin Right Now from the Pima County (Arizona) Clerk of Courts confirm Rosenbaum was charged by a grand jury with 11 counts of child molestation and inappropriate sexual activity with children, including anal rape, masturbation, oral sex, and showing minors pornography. The victims were five boys ranging in age from nine to 11 years old. He was convicted of two amended counts as part of a plea deal. See those documents here."...  Much more on the late Mr. Rosenbaum

Anthony M. Huber  . . . “ '[Anthony] Huber told his brother that if he didn’t start cleaning a room in his house he was going to gut him like a pig,” Rittenhouse’s lawyer Corey Chirafisi said in court adding, according to The New York Post that Huber “did this while holding a 6-inch butcher’s knife to the brother’s stomach.”

“Huber grabbed his brother by the neck, dug his nails in and choked him for approximately ten seconds,” Chirafisi said. “He put a knife to his brother’s left ear and his brother felt it cut.”

" 'He said: “I’m going to burn the house down with all you f—kers in it,' ”

 Grosskreutz (below) was moving toward Rittenhouse when shot and holding a handgun, the complaint says.

For all of these reasons, we decided not to censor the men’s criminal histories. You can decide how relevant you think they are.

The men Rittenhouse shot were capable of murder; typical of those burning down America's cities for whom we all need protection against. Shame on their supporters and the vicious Joy Reid types in our media. TD
