As the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse has progressed, Americans who hope for a successful conviction have begun to focus their attentions on the true villain of the piece: the 75-year-old presiding judge, Bruce Schroeder. Among the many accusations that have been leveled at Schroeder this week are that he is “biased,” that he is “prejudiced,” that he is a secret “conservative,” “right-winger,” or “Trumpist,” that he is a “a gun nut,” that he is a “a racist” or wannabe member of the Klan, that he is the “worst judge in town,” and that he is attempting to parlay this trial...

U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- Becky Sullivan of NPR makes a startling claim of fact, which is not in evidence from the trial or the criminal complaint.It is especially relevant because it is a claim about a crucial moment in the sequence of events where the apparent first aggressor, Joseph Rosenbaum, attacked Kyle Rittenhouse. Mr. Rosenbaum attempted to grab the barrel of the rifle Rittenhouse had pointed toward the ground between him and Rosenbaum. The relevant testimony is at 2:34:40 in the video of the trial.The rifle is pointed at the ground between Rittenhouse and Rosenbaum. Rosenbaum is first running, then lunging at...

With Los Angeles County’s new COVID-19 vaccine proof requirements now in effect for bars and other venues, bartenders are faced with turning away paying customers and worrying about having to deal with unruly patrons. The venues will have to make sure that customers aged 12 and older have taken two doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or one dose of Johnson & Johnson at least 14 days before trying to enter the venue. But critics have voiced concern over the differing rules in the city and county sowing confusion for businesses and customers, and putting those in L.A. at...

On Saturday morning's The Cross Connection, MSNBC viewers got a triple helping of racist comments as frequent guests Roland Martin and Elie Mystal took aim at whites. After Mystal claimed in the show's first hour that blue-collar whites only care about "using their guns on black people and getting away with it." And in the second hour, Martin declared that he was "sick of white men" like veteran Democratic strategist James Carville criticizing the far left, adding that he should "shut the F up." After Martin's racially specific hit on Carville evoked laughter from the panel, host Tiffany Cross mused...

A new Marist College poll this week found Kathy Hochul is the current frontrunner for next year’s gubernatorial election, but Rep. Lee Zeldin of eastern Long Island now has support from nearly all state Republican leaders. That’s after Zeldin secured the Chemung County Republican Committee endorsement this week. However, Hofstra University Political Scientist Craig Burnett said Zeldin will face long odds against Hochul, as no amount of GOP support can erase Zeldin’s image as a Trump ally in a highly Democratic New York.*** “In the case of governor, that has to be somebody who can appeal to a fairly broad...

MTP's Chuck Todd, talked today (Nov/7/2021) about White Suburban Women vote for GOP, such as in VA and NJ... Sara Fagen hit the nail on the head that the hard left pulls the strings in Dems. She added: What people don't like about Joe Buden us his dishonesty, he ran as a centrist but has governed as a very progressive. PBS's news hours Amna Nawaz squeezed in her Squad-friendly POV..

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville blamed "stupid wokeness" for the resounding losses the Democratic Party sustained in Tuesday's elections across the country. Carville made the comments while being interviewed by Judy Woodruff on "PBS Newshour" Wednesday. "What went wrong is just stupid wokeness. Alright, don't just look at Virginia and New Jersey. Look at Long Island, look at Buffalo, look at Minneapolis, even look at Seattle, Washington. I mean, this 'defund the police' lunacy, this take Abraham Lincoln's name off of schools. I mean that — people see that," Carville said emphatically. "It's just really — has a suppressive effect...

Democratic political strategist James Carville blamed his party's recent losses and weak performance in state elections on "stupid wokeness" on Wednesday. "PBS NewsHour" host Judy Woodruff asked Carville what went wrong for the Democratic Party in the Virginia gubernatorial race in which Republican Glenn Youngkin beat former Gov. Terry McAuliffe. "What went wrong is just stupid wokeness. Don't just look at Virginia and New Jersey. Look at Long Island, look at Buffalo, look at Minneapolis, even look at Seattle, Wash. I mean this 'defund the police' lunacy, this take Abraham Lincoln's name off schools. I mean that-people see that," Carville...

On Sunday, a shocking new NBC Newspollwas announced by Chuck Todd, anchor ofMeet the Press.It showed that 71% of Americans believe the country is on the “wrong track” and only 22% believe it is moving in the right direction. These are horrible numbers for the Biden administration and Democrats who control both Congress and the White House. The NBC newspollalso showed that Republicans were trusted over Democrats by more than double digit margins in a wide range of areas such as handling the economy, inflation, crime, national security, border security, and “getting things done.” These results reflect the reality of...

NBC anchor Chuck Todd said Sunday on “Meet the Press” that the outrage parents are experiencing over critical race theory was “manufactured.” PBS reporter Amna Nawaz said, “Specific to this idea of critical race theory. I spent time reporting on this county in Virginia about an hour outside of Washington. To your point, this is something mobilizing people and resonating very deeply. It was about a 100-degree day, dozens and dozens and dozens of parents, mostly white in this largely affluent county, showed up to a school board meeting, for in the first one they attended, specifically because of this...

Not one outlet that spread the CIA lie that it was Russian disinformation (except POLITICO) has even mentioned it. That means that CNN, NBC News, MSNBC, PBS, @HuffPost, @TheIntercept and so many others spent weeks before the 2020 election spreading what they know is a lie from CIA. And now that there's new proof from a mainstream reporter that they lied, they won't even mention that. The most damaging and aggressive agents of disinformation in the United States are large corporate media outlets. All journalists make mistakes. The way to know that they're deliberate disinformation agents is when they ignore...

For years now, Bill Gates under the cover of his Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation charity, have given away hundreds of millions of dollars in “grants” to news outlets so they’ll say nice things about him. For the most part that has worked out pretty good. They all pretend he’s a virologist and an epidemiologist working purely from his love for humanity to cure the world of all diseases, and rarely pointing out he makes hundreds of billions in profit from doing so. So imagine Bill Gates’ shock when he was confronted yesterday about his ‘close, personal relationship’ with Jeffrey...

VIDEOOn the eve of the twentieth anniversary of 9/11, the Washington Post's Jonathan Capehart on PBS declared that over half of all Americans were more of a threat than foreign terrorists. Better keep a butterfly net team ready for poor Capehart in 2024 because he will need emergency medical treatment in November of that year. In fact, keep the butterfly nets ready for most of the rest of the mainstream media in 2024.

source JANIFESTThe "mainstream media" love to pretend that they represent the sensible middle ground of the ideological spectrum, but any extended look at their coverage reveals that they are incapable of finding an unsuitable extreme on the left. For example, some leftists openly advocate for the end of prisons. Are they questioned for their sanity? No. They're given platforms for their "poetry." On the Aug. 4 episode of "PBS NewsHour," they celebrated a man named Jorge Antonio Renaud. On the "Latino Rebels" website last year, Renaud explicitly declared, "I'm going to speak about prison abolition, which is the idea that...

(CNN)Poll of the week: A new Gallup poll finds that 59.2% of Americans say they're thriving. Additionally, 73% of Americans said they experienced enjoyment for a lot of the previous day.The former is the highest rating Gallup has ever recorded on the measure dating back to when it was first taken more than 13 years ago. The latter is the highest since the coronavirus pandemic began early last year. What's the point: The last year has been tough for a lot of Americans. Among other issues, the coronavirus dominated our lives, and there was a very contentious presidential election. But...

ABC News continued its tendency to ignore (or almost ignore) the controversy over Vice President Kamala Harris waiting for more than 90 days to visit the border after being handed the border "issue" by President Biden. On Friday night's newscast, David Muir offered just 13 seconds to the story. It's 43 boring words. Blink, and you might miss it. The word "illegal" is nowhere to be found. The PBS NewsHour disposed of the matter in 58 seconds in its "news wrap." Anchor Judy Woodruff reported "Vice President Harris visited the U.S. Southern border today for the first time since taking...

Notable & Quotable: Yamiche Alcindor of PBS on Trump Trauma Is President Biden ‘concerned that those scars are going to be deeper than his ability to address them in this one trip?’ Alcindor: Can you talk a bit about how President Biden plans to convince, especially our European allies, that President—former President Trump was an anomaly in some ways—all the things that he did to, in some ways, traumatize those leaders; calling into question the need for NATO. What’s the plan there? And is he concerned that those scars are going to be deeper than his ability to address them...

During an interview with NPR released on Friday, former Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said that there is more vocal pressure from the left on Israel and cited Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) position as an example of “the Overton window shifting before your eyes.” Rhodes stated, “Look, when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is staking out her position on this, that’s the Overton window shifting before your eyes.” He also said, “And therefore, it’s going to be harder to just stick to the old line of essentially unquestioning support for the policies of the Israeli government.” And “It’s just simply a fact...

I just read through the PBS article posted here: The powerful technology behind the Pfizer and Moderna vaccinesPBS ^ | April 2, 2021 | Isabella Isaacs-ThomasThe medical oligarchs must be panicking to start this kind of whitewash so late in the game and it's too little, too late, after too many lies. The weaponized CDC never bothered to tell the public anything, because their tyranny is less complicated if the public is completely unaware of what they are doing. The weaponized CDC intentionally chose the wrong companies to produce the vaccines. Those who are sensitive about my use of 'weaponized'...
