Poor O.J. Never Found Nicole's Real Killer

The Morning Briefing: – PJ Media  . . ."Those who have been reading me for a while probably knew I was going to have to riff on O.J. this morning. Hey, it's Friday. Let's skip war, illegal alien crime, and economic turmoil as we head into the weekend. As long as Joe Biden is president, there will be plenty of all of that waiting for us on Monday. 

"O.J. Simpson was far and away the most famous acquitted murderer in my lifetime, and I've been around for a while. You know, even if he had been convicted, he'd still be the most famous murderer since I've been alive. Sure, John Wayne Gacy and Ted Bundy had higher body counts, and Jeffrey Dahmer's victims were also meal prep, but none of them had the seemingly endless soap opera effect that O.J. had.

"There's also the fact that he was already famous when he may or may not have almost decapitated his ex-wife. 

"I lived in Los Angeles for most of the '90s but the O.J. drama all happened during a brief period when I had moved back to Tucson. You didn't have to be there, though. Once Juice got into that white Bronco for the slowest car chase in LA local news history, the nation was hooked. I had a gig at Bally's in Las Vegas that night and I was almost late to the first show because I was glued to the coverage. 

"For almost a year and a half after that, anything involving O.J. was Must-See TV. Of course, this was before streaming. 

"The news of O.J.'s death really perked up social media. Let's be honest; not many people believe he was innocent. I'm sure some do, but I've never met any of them. The dark humor memes were plentiful yesterday." . . . 

OJ Fact Check: Juror Who Raised Black Power Fist Was a Black Panther

"In one of the most shocking moments of “The People v OJ Simpson” finale, one of the African-American jurors gives O.J. Simpson a raised-fist “black power” salute moments after the not guilty verdict is delivered.

"Did it really happen? Yes. And the show left out an amazing detail about the juror. Welcome to O.J. Fact Check.

Yes, a juror really did give Simpson the raised fist as he left the courtroom. His name was Lionel (Lon) Cryer, and as The New York Times reported, he was “a former Black Panther whom prosecutors had inexplicably left on the panel.”

OJ Simpson died owing more than $100MILLION to families of murder victims Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown - as they pledge to go after late NFL star's estate | Daily Mail Online   . . ."OJ Simpson died owing his murder victim's family more than $100 million – and they say they're still going after the money.

"Simpson, who died in Nevada on Wednesday age 76, was found liable in civil court for $33.5 million for the murders of Ron Goldman and Nicole Simpson in 1997. The Goldman family has been pursuing the growing debt ever since.

"An attorney for Ron's father Fred said due to Simpson's failure to pay, the debt with interest has ballooned to over $100 million, and said he will be 'going to work on' collecting anything they can from Simpson's estate, even after the Juice's death." . . .

. . ."One last time, for old time's sake," said one witness who watched the white Bronco roll by followed by dozens of police cruisers. "He died as he lived. It's poetic when you think about it. And you have to feel for the police, too. They never really did catch him, did they? And yet here they are, still pursuing him. Really makes you think.". . .

. . ."At publishing time, crowds along the road were cheering as O.J. stayed ahead of the police one last time. "He did it again!" said onlooker Shawn Grimes. "I mean, he didn't ‘do it.' That's not what I meant. Sorry, that was a poor choice of words."

Will the world admit it was wrong? No matter how much Israel tries to do the right thing, it will never be credited for it

 Phyllis Chesler Organization  

"Now almost the entire world has spewed that bloodthirsty cry. Mobs are in the streets everywhere, cheering Hamas’s barbarism. Never has Israel been in such danger before." 

Middle East Forum (meforum.org)

"I hate to repeat the obvious, but one must tell the truth when the most lethal lies against Jews and Israel are repeated 24/7, in every language on earth, day after day, year after year.

"Hamas’s war against Israel is unprecedented. Not only have these demons purposely attacked civilians and kidnapped precious souls whom they are still torturing daily in tunnels and private homes, but they and other Iranian proxy armies have forced the internal displacement of more than 200,000 Israeli citizens and killed 645 soldiers and security officers. Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have wounded more than 3,000 Israeli soldiers.

"As if this were not horrifying enough, almost the entire world—including the media, the mobs, government leaders and international organizations—have been supporting what is, essentially, an Islamic religious war against the Jews. This is not about territory or “occupation.” This war is about exterminating the Jewish people in the name of jihad. Moreover, the jihadists don’t confine their violence to Israel. They intend to conquer the West and ultimately convert or murder all “infidels” everywhere.

"This is breathtakingly clear, yet too many Westerners refuse to believe it.

"All this compounds Israel’s trauma. How can Israelis feel safe when their own military and intelligence services failed to protect them on Oct. 7? When Israeli government decisions dating back decades appeased Hamas and Iran just as American presidents have done?

"How can Israelis feel safe now that the American administration has forced Israel to withdraw most of its forces from Gaza before the IDF could destroy Hamas? An administration that has been far less concerned with the Israeli hostages—who include American citizens—than with empowering Hamas? Has President Joe Biden even noticed that Hamas still refuses to return any hostages or agree to a phased ceasefire? Why should it? Global propaganda, along with American and United Nations actions, have further empowered and legitimized it." . . .

Pelosi and 36 Democrats Were Dying to Kiss the Hand of Hamas

  The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

Using a military accident for your political gain quite simply defines what kind of person you are.

RealityBites by Broc Smith

. . ."Be that as it may, what happened in Gaza has served to reactivate the usual anti-Semitism, and as an opportunity for the Western Left — there is no longer any distinction between countries here — to feel a little closer to Palestinian terrorism. And, of course, the first one who did not want to miss the party was Nancy Pelosi.

Spitting Image 

"It doesn’t matter what issue you’re facing. If you want to get it right, look at which side Nancy Pelosi has taken, and take the opposite one. Now 36 Democratic congressmen led by Pelosi have sent a letter to Joe Biden. They ask him to stop sending arms to Israel, after the “strike against aid workers.” In fact, they are misleading right from the very beginning of their letter. Israel did not organize any attack against aid workers. That is just a fantasy of the extreme left. Israel missed its target, and those who intervened in the operation grossly bypassed the usual protocols and behaved negligently and really stupidly; and for that they have been punished. You will never see a Hamas leader ask for an explanation from his terrorists for the murder, torture, or rape of Israeli civilians. 

"It’s not that Pelosi and the 36 Democrats are outraged by the accident and have decided to reposition themselves now against Israel and in support of Palestinian terrorism. It’s just that they were dying to do it. Because the post-modern Western Left is far left, and this means they hate democracies and free nations (including their own) and sympathize with dictators and terrorists." . . . 

Comment on this post from Trever: 

 ”Because the post-modern Western Left is far left, and this means they hate democracies and free nations (including their own) and sympathize with dictators and terrorists.”  

None of this is surprising in the least. For it was ever and manifestly thus.

To evaluate this, one only needs to observe leftist policy. The Biden open-borders blight is precisely the kind of treason that tickles the leftist fancy. And antisemitic Jew-haters are the same blighters who hate white heterosexual men. It all fits together like some ugly, misanthropic jigsaw puzzle. . .

Donald Trump's Allies Launch Bombshell 'Chasing Trump' Documentary 

 Donald Trump’s allies are reportedly planning to intensify their attacks against the prosecutors investigating the embattled ex-president, RadarOnline.com has learned.

"A new documentary titled Chasing Trump is set to be released next week that aims to accuse the Trump prosecutors of “political activism” and “electioneering.”

"The documentary producers revealed to Daily Mail that Chasing Trump would delve into the backgrounds of the prosecutors overseeing each of the criminal cases against Trump.

“ 'Four corrupt, politically motivated prosecutors,” a trailer for the new doc charged. “One target: Donald Trump.”

“ 'They say they're upholding the law,” the trailer’s narrator continued. “But a close examination reveals politics of the very worst kind meant to influence the 2024 election.”

"As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the Chasing Trump documentary comes just days before the world will witness a former U.S. president reporting to court to face a criminal trial for the first time in history." . . .

Biden says Vietnam motivated him to stop wars... 60 years after he dodged the draft

Joe was indeed a "fortunate son".

 

 How Joe used FIVE student deferments then teenage problems with asthma to avoid joining the millions of Americans who served (msn.com)  "Joe Biden declared he hopes his legacy is that he reduced the chances of war and said he was motivated to do so 'because of Vietnam'.

"Biden, 81, was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1972 at the age of 29, when the Vietnam War was raging and hundreds of thousands of Americans were  being conscripted into the military.

"He himself never served in the conflict, instead receiving five student deferments and then a disqualification on medical grounds.

"The disqualification was for having suffered asthma as a teenager, although he was a student athlete.

"Asked about his legacy during an interview with Univision on Wednesday, the President said: 'Well, I hope the legacy is that I kept my word, that - I said that the reason I was running was to help the life of ordinary people and reduce the prospect of war and...because of Vietnam.'

"He went on: 'The secret you’ve got to ask yourself is, what are you willing to lose over? You figure out what you’re willing to lose over, you’ve got an idea of what you should be doing. And so, I hope my legacy is that I was honest, straightforward, and did what I said.'

"Biden's comments about the Vietnam War revived scrutiny of his own decisions and positions at that time.

"Democrats have frequently criticized Donald Trump for not serving in Vietnam, but Biden did not either.

"In 1972 he ran for the Senate on a platform of opposing President Richard Nixon's escalation of the war and said the U.S. should have left Vietnam years earlier." . . .

“F-ck No”: Jason Aldean claims Biden campaign wanted his song

I apologize for the language. It is almost as raunchy as Rashida Tlaib used about Trump. TD

 Trending Views    "Country singer Jason Aldean suggested that Joe Biden’s campaign asked him to play ‘Fly Over States’ during Biden’s campaign trail back in 2020. Jason Aldean claims he said, very politely, “f**k no.” Of course, we’re not sure if this happened or it was just Jason Aldean being humorous. That part remains unclear, but we do know Jason Aldean would much rather have Donald Trump in office than Joe Biden and his failing diversity circus.

"There’s been many “f**k Joe Biden” chants at Jason’s shows, and his song “Try that in a Small Town” has become notorious among liberals who suffered meltdowns over the song – instead of melting down over their neighborhoods being destroyed by rioters and looters. If we know anything, it’s that Jason Aldean is on the right side of history and the liberals who can’t stand him are probably Karens."  Link only due to language (youtube.com)

Democrats, EVs And Tyranny

Not even our First Amendment rights (nor those guaranteed by the Second Amendment) are safe from the Democrats’ agenda to manage, control, coerce and manipulate through raw political power. 

 Issues & Insights (issuesinsights.com) "Why do Democrats insist on forcing consumers to make choices they don’t want? Americans are making it clear they don’t want electric vehicles, yet Democrats won’t give up their mandate zealotry. Are they driven by authoritarian urges?

"A poll taken last month shows that 48% of consumers would not consider buying an EV. That’s up seven percentage points from last year. Only 35% of those who responded to the Gallup poll said they might consider buying one, down from 43% just a year ago. A mere 9% said they were seriously considering an EV purchase. That portion was 12% in 2023.

"Yes, EV ownership has increased. In 2024, 7% of Americans own a battery-powered car. Last year only 4% owned an EV.

"But this combined with a growing resistance is an indicator that the demand is reaching a peak if it hasn’t already. After all, there are only so many consumers willing to buy an expensive, unreliable, grid-draining and destructive automobile merely for the privilege of demonstrating their green street cred and moral superiority. There are quite a few shallow people in this country but not enough apparently to keep the market warm.

"Even with the rank of Democrats – whose positions are built on political superficiality – the EV fever has broken, with 27% saying in 2024 they would not buy an EV compared to 17% last year. Among independents, the “would nots” have grown to 47% from 38%. (A thanks to Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell for asking Gallup to break down the responses by party.)

"Which is why the Biden administration and nearly half the states have to force EVs on the people." . . .

WATCH: Sen. Kennedy Gives Masterful Takedown of Alejandro Mayorkas to His Face During Committee Hearing

 Who but Barack Obama would use Biden to do all he has done to this nation? How must one hate this nation to pervert it as has been done by these Congressional Democrats? TD

Sister Toldjah – RedState   

After taking several minutes to explain in detail why most Republicans in Congress and a majority of the American people don't trust Mayorkas, Kennedy and Mayorkas got into a somewhat heated exchange over Kennedy's question about how allowing more illegal immigrants to cross over the border "counts for congressional district reapportionment," which Kennedy strongly insinuated helps Democrats.

"Though Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) is second to no one when it comes to pouring on the class and Southern charm, he's also not one to mince words when it comes to serious issues like Joe Biden's unqualified judicial nominees, some of whom seem to be sympathetic towards terroristic causes that are directly detrimental to the existence of the United States and her allies.

"Kennedy, as RedState readers will also recall, is also no stranger to doing something we call "killing them with kindness" here in the South, which is exactly what happened to one unfortunate woke climate change activist whose supposed "expertise" on climate matters was obliterated by Kennedy as only he can during a recent Senate Judiciary Committee hearing."  . . .

"Mr. Secretary, you're using up my time — you do this every single time," Sen. Kennedy pointed out. "It's a fact and I know it: that the more people you allow into our country illegally the more people are counted for reapportionment, and the more people that you allow into our country illegally the more people are counted for allocating electoral votes," he reiterated. "Now maybe that's a coincidence, but that's fact. You know that, and you've done nothing for four years: nada, zero, zilch." 

"Sen. Kennedy still wasn't done. "The only people I know in this country who are better off today than they were four years ago are illegal immigrants," he noted. "And that's as a result of your policy. I don't hate you for it, I don't hate anyone, but that's why you've been impeached," Sen. Kennedy reminded. "And my colleagues may try to cover it up, but they can't cover up the facts."

A majority of the American people think that, as a result of Sec. Mayorkas and Pres. Biden's behavior, our southern border is an open bleeding wound.

DeSantis Signs Bill to Combat Retail Theft, Attacks Policies in 'Leftist Jurisdictions'

 National Review

The bill also institutes several porch-piracy punishments: a first-degree misdemeanor for theft of property worth less than $40; a third-degree felony in the event of a subsequent violation; and a third-degree felony for theft of property valued at $40 or more.

"Florida governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill on Tuesday that combats retail theft and porch piracy, while attacking “leftist jurisdictions” such as California and New York for failing to implement policies that address these crimes.

“Many leftist jurisdictions are enacting policies that ignore retail theft or even encourage it. Those policies are dead on arrival in Florida. We catch criminals and prosecute them,” DeSantis posted on X.

"The legislation, set to take effect July 1, will impose stricter penalties for people who steal retail items, swipe packages off porches, and use social media to incite looting. These offenses will mostly be punishable as felonies.

"Before the bill was enacted, Florida had seen a 30 percent decrease in shoplifting since DeSantis took office five years ago. By contrast, shoplifting increased by 63 percent in New York City since 2019 and 81 percent in Los Angeles since 2022. The lenient policies that these cities put in place have forced many retailers to lock products in plastic cases amid rising crime. 

“You look at a place like California, they passed Proposition 47 that allows people that commit retail theft to be charged with misdemeanor, even if it had traditionally been a felony. That means they get numerous retail-theft offenses. Did they get held accountable? No, they get a slap on the wrist,” DeSantis said at a press conference in Stuart, Fla., where he signed H.B. 549 into law.

“ 'You look at New York, they eliminated cash bail for many offenses, including offenses for retail theft, so that now you can only get a felony theft charge if you steal more than $1,000 worth of merchandise; anything less, you get a desk-appearance ticket that has caused people to loot stores and do $999 worth of looting. And then they leave knowing that they’re not going to be held accountable,” the Republican governor added. 

"In 2022 alone, retailers nationwide lost $112 billion due to retail theft; $4 billion of that amount came from New York that year. Florida seeks to do its part in cutting down on further retail losses through the new legislation. 

“ 'Florida is a law-and-order state, and our policies combating organized retail theft are another shining example of how we are leading the nation,” Florida attorney general Ashley Moody said in a statement." . . . 

Smackdown: CNN's Zakaria tries to egg Finland's leader into blasting Trump, gets egg all over his face instead

Richard McDonough - American Thinker

It is difficult to see how “journalists,” who virtually never seem “cool, calm and collected,” can get so worked up about Trump doing what needs to be done to make NATO stronger and Europe safer.

 

The Truth About Plagiarist Fareed Zakaria’s Views on Censorship

"In a recent discussion with Alexander Stubb, who is the president of Finland, CNN’s Fareed Zakaria apparently thought it would be a cakewalk to get the newly elected European leader to say something negative and alarming about former President Donald Trump.  

"It did not go well for Fareed. 

"President Stubb ended up praising Trump for doing what is right. 

"Fareed, pushing a familiarly deceptive media line, asked President Stubb to comment on “what everybody is talking about,” namely that:

Donald Trump said he would tell Russia to do what you have to do, words to that effect, about NATO members if they hadn’t hit the 2% mark.  What do you do about a president of the United States, the leader of the West, the leader of NATO, if he said that, assuming Trump is elected [in 2024].

"President Stubb did not take the bait. Rejecting Fareed’s attempt to stir up dissension between Trump and NATO members, Stubb said that “the starting point is that Finland will get along with whoever is elected.”  He then explained to Fareed an adult view of Trump’s remark: . . .

"President Stubb even pointed out that Trump has already been successful in this “because 20 out of 32 NATO members will have reached that by this [commitment] by the Washington NATO summit.  In other words, NATO is already safer because of Donald Trump. 

"Fareed thinks this is a new scandal!?

"Fareed, however, who does, after all, work at CNN, pushes back, asking,

But is NATO entirely a transactional organization and do you think it is appropriate for the United States not to defend, not to defend a NATO member if it’s below 2% in its defense spending.

"First, since transactionality is an aspect of rationality, Fareed, unlike Trump, is apparently worried about whether NATO members are rational. 

"President Stubb schooled Fareed that they are."...

Three short videos reveal how Gaza’s Islamic jihad works, and the West’s complicity with its lies

Hamas has taken over so much media, seemingly including Twitter, and into our education system, spawning the masses of pro-Palestine chanters and posters to "free, free Palestine"; a "Palestine" that is free of any Israelis. The Tunnel Dweller

  Andrea Widburg - American Thinker  

Takeaways from all this? Israel and her supporters have been factually accurate from the beginning about Hamas’s propaganda and its use of civilians as the ultimate shields. Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) know this but they don’t care. To my mind, they are complicit with a very profound evil and, therefore, are themselves evil. 

"For decades, but with special force since October 7, Israel and her friends have always made the same point about Israel’s conflicts with the jihadists who attack her: Everything the jihadists say to the world’s media is propaganda; the world’s media know this but report it anyway; and hospitals are Hamas’s military headquarters and ambulances their military transport, making both legitimate military targets. Two videos (one from Bill Clinton and one from an Islamic Jihad spokesman) prove these facts to be true, and one video (from a Joe Rogan interview with Coleman Hughes) shows how Israel is completely shackled by Hamas’s tactics and the world’s complicity.

"First, here’s a one-minute video of Bill Clinton in 2016 admitting what Israel has always said, which is that the Muslim Arabs in Gaza and the West Bank embed themselves amongst civilian populations as a core military strategy. As an aside, Clinton also complains that he offered the Arabs everything they claimed to have wanted—i.e., their own state—only to have them turn it down. We know, of course, that’s because the state they want is Israel.)". . .

. . ." More importantly, Hughes explains to Rogan that Hamas has completely integrated itself into Gaza’s civilian infrastructure. This means that Israel has only two choices: Surrender to a genocidal, existential enemy (the choice Biden wants to force on it) or fight on the terms the enemy created, which means civilian casualties. Hughes says that we cannot allow this to become an acceptable military strategy, and he’s right:" . . .
