Students at East Tennessee State University and others gathered to march in protest of Kyle Rittenhouse on Thursday evening. The protest came just a few hours before the controversial figure spoke at the Brinkley Center for a Turning Point USA event, which is a student-led group on campus. In 2020, a then 17-year-old Rittenhouse shot and killed two men during civil unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin. In 2021, Rittenhouse was acquitted of homicide and other charges on the grounds of self-defense. When they announced they were bringing Rittenhouse to ETSU, a Turning Point representative said Rittenhouse would speak about the importance...

Kyle Rittenhouse has been mocked for bringing his therapy dog to a TV interview. Rittenhouse, 20, rose to prominence when he was involved in the fatal shootings of 36-year-old Joseph Rosenbaum and 26-year-old Anthony Huber at a Black Lives Matter protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in August 2020. A 26-year-old named Gaige Grosskreutz was also injured by Rittenhouse, who was armed with a semi-automatic AR-15-style assault rifle. He argued he used the gun in self-defense and was acquitted of charges of first-degree intentional homicide, attempted first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide, and two charges of first-degree recklessly endangering safety.

In his closing remarks before the House select committee investigating Jan. 6, Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn compared the mob that stormed the Capitol, fueled by Trump’s false claims of election fraud, to a hit man hired to kill someone. “If a hit man is hired and he kills somebody, the hit man goes to jail. But not only does the hit man go to jail, but the person who hired them does. It was an attack carried out on Jan. 6 and a hit man sent them. I want you to get to the bottom of that,” Dunn told...

Remember Gaige Grosskreutz? He was the establishment's darling during the trial to make an example of Kyle Rittenhouse. Gaige, a convicted felon with a long criminal history, was illegally carrying a pistol that he pulled on Kyle Rittenhouse as the young man was trying to escape from the violent BLM mob in Kenosha, Wisconsin during the 2020 "Summer of Love." For his trouble, Gaige got his bicep blown off by Rittenhouse. He was then paraded in court as a victim and the mainstream media ate it up.

Other charges were dropped in exchange for a plea deal, according to Fox 6.

The "Guns In The Library" event was going to be hosted by Vegas CCW at the East Las Vegas library on May 13. However, officials said the event is being put on hold after event organizers confront Rittenhouse's booking manager, Brian Elliot of Premiere Speakers Bureau, due to that company exploiting speakers from both sides of the gun control issue.

They just can’t quit Kyle Rittenhouse. Forget the guy was arrested, charged, stood trial, and was found innocent by a jury of his peers … no no, since he’s a straight, white, conservative male he will forever be the ‘villain’ to ignorant people who care more about politics than reality and facts. Like Soledad O’Brien. We’re pretty sure she didn’t think this tweet through though. But then again, does she ever? Just take a look at her timeline. *************************************** Soledad O'Brien @soledadobrien · Follow For killing people. Yes.

Kyle Rittenhouse wants answers about what the social media companies did during his case but he could not get them. But all that changed when Elon Musk bought Twitter. If you recall during the hysteria, just defending Kyle, who was innocent but convicted by the media before his trial, could get you in hot water with Big Tech. Kyle said: “I think something people who believe we are overreacting about what was found in the Twitter files overlook is that lies break trust and show the character of someone. “We now have every reason to believe there was more lies...

These were the words of the democrat genius Debbie Dingell (D-MI). Those words were not uttered in a void. Many democrats were anxious to virtue signal subsequently to the Paul Pelosi fracas. Honesty was not to be the guiding light. "Meathead" Rob Reiner tried to pin the attack on Donald Trump: “The violent assault on Paul Pelosi and the attempt to murder Speaker Pelosi is directly related to that Lie,” the Oscar-nominated director and actor wrote. As a result, Reiner claimed, “Donald Trump is 100% responsible for this and Jan.6” and “must be indicted and never be allowed to hold...
