Now, I want to see that scumbag who claims to be related to Criminal Junkie Floyd. He was threatening harm against the jurors who might find Rittenhouse guilty. Someone needs to find that piece of shit and fill him so full of lead his next of kin need dental records to identify the asshole.
The great defense fumble of the day—from which they may still recover, if they even recognize the error—was accidentally revealed by the State making its own small error and getting caught by the defense. Or, perhaps more accurately, half-caught.
This generalized legal smash-up occurred during the questioning of State’s witness Susan Hughes, the great-aunt of Anthony Huber. Huber, you will remember, was the second man shot by Kyle the night of August 25, 2020, and fatally, after he struck Kyle twice around the head with a heavy skateboard, then grabbed Kyle’s rifle to seize it from him.
As ADA Jim Kraus was conducting direct questioning of Ms. Hughes, he attempted to introduce into evidence her testimony about an event from Huber’s childhood in which he’d purportedly saved a family gathering from an impending explosion.
Kraus initiated this by asking Ms. Hughes, “Have you known Huber to run to danger?”
The defense immediately objected, on grounds of relevance and also that it was inadmissible habit and custom evidence—that is, evidence attempting to argue that because somebody acted in a certain way on one occasion, that meant he acted in a similar way on a later occasion. Such evidence intended to prove a character trait or a proclivity is generally inadmissible
Remarkably, when the defense objected on the grounds of habit and custom, and Judge Schroeder sustained the objection on that basis, ADA Kraus looked directly at the judge and whined (all this in front of the jury, mind you), “All we’ve heard in this trial is nothing but habit and custom evidence.”
For those of you not in the legal profession, let me be the one to inform you—you don’t backtalk to the judge. Never, ever, ever. At least, not with expecting a smackdown.
Judge Schroeder looked right back at ADA Kraus, said “You don’t need to comment on my rulings,” and abruptly recessed the proceedings for a break. Presumably to have an opportunity to cool down before he let Kraus up.
When the court came back into session, Judge Schroeder left the jury out of the courtroom and asked the State and defense to argue out their respective positions on this “child Huber saved family from explosion” evidence outside the hearing of the jury.
The state’s position was that this evidence of Huber’s heroic conduct should be admissible because it would rebut the defense argument that Huber was the initial aggressor in his confrontation with Rittenhouse. That issue of initial aggressor, of course, goes right to the self-defense element of Innocence, without which Kyle’s claim of self-defense with respect to Huber would collapse.
That Huber was the initial aggressor is, of course, incontestably captured on video, as he chased down the fleeing Kyle, struck him twice with the heavy skateboard, and was fighting Kyle for control of his rifle when Kyle fired the single round that killed him.
Naturally, part of his claim of self-defense to justify this shooting is, indeed, that Kyle was not the initial aggressor, but rather that Huber was the initial aggressor. Certainly, the defense would be unwilling to concede that Kyle was the initial aggressor because doing so would lose the element of Innocence with respect to Huber, and lose self-defense.
So, the State argues that given the defense is (necessarily) arguing that Huber was the initial aggressor, they ought to be permitted to admit evidence of Huber’s “peaceful disposition” to rebut the defense—indeed, the admission of such rebuttal evidence is one of the statutorily permitted exceptions to the general prohibition on character evidence. If the other side says your guy is violent, you can introduce evidence to the contrary, if you have it.
His lawyers have said they will show Rittenhouse acted in self-defense: that he fired the deadly shots out of fear for his own life during chaotic protests that were sparked by the police shootings of a Black man in Kenosha.
When the court came back into session, Judge Schroeder left the jury out of the courtroom and asked the State and defense to argue out their respective positions on this “child Huber saved family from explosion” evidence outside the hearing of the jury.
You're kidding right? There is no relevance to the trial at hand. There's not even a good time proximity. All you're doing is trying to engender sympathy for a murderous thug.
And yes, like a baseball bat a skateboard is a deadly weapon when you are trying beat someone to death.
"The Select Committee needs to know every detail about their efforts to overturn the election, including who they were talking to in the White House and in Congress, what connections they had with rallies that escalated into a riot, and who paid for it all."
WASHINGTON (AP) — Expanding its probe, the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection has issued subpoenas to six more associates of former President Donald Trump who were involved in his efforts to overturn his defeat in the 2020 election.
The House voted last month to hold longtime Trump ally Steve Bannon in contempt after he refused to comply with his subpoena from the panel investigating the origins of the violent attack. Trump himself is fighting the probe in court.
The committee's chairman, Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, said in a statement Monday that the panel is demanding testimony and documents from former Trump campaign officials and others who participated in a “war room” ahead of the siege and otherwise strategized about how to halt the certification of Joe Biden’s victory.
Thompson said the committee had issued new subpoenas to Bill Stepien, manager of Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign; Jason Miller, a senior adviser to the campaign; Angela McCallum, national executive assistant to the campaign; John Eastman, a lawyer who advised the former president; Michael Flynn, a former national security adviser to Trump who talked with Trump ahead of the insurrection, and Bernard Kerik, who the committee says paid for hotel rooms that served as command centers ahead of Jan. 6.
“In the days before the January 6th attack, the former president’s closest allies and advisers drove a campaign of misinformation about the election and planned ways to stop the count of Electoral College votes," Thompson said. "The Select Committee needs to know every detail about their efforts to overturn the election, including who they were talking to in the White House and in Congress, what connections they had with rallies that escalated into a riot, and who paid for it all."
If they paid in advance, they could face the death penalty. Treason.
Dumbass. Treason is defined in the Constitution (the only crime that is):
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The founding fathers felt it important enough to put in the Constitution to prevent what you are trying to do now. Use "Treason" to silence and eliminate your political opposition.
So good luck in trying to get a judge to agree that what happen Jan 6 "levying war against the United States". No one is that crazy.
The Wall Street Journal wonders how people will think about us right now.
the many people around the world who admire America and want her to succeed, watching events in this country over the past few years has been a little like observing a dear friend going through a mental-health crisis.
Many of the symptoms of a full psychiatric breakdown have been on display—denial of objective reality, wild mood swings, episodes of paranoia, delusional thinking and grandiose ideation, a tendency toward lacerating self-harm.
But last week, voters in a handful of states and cities donned the white coats and began wrestling the patient back to reality. There’s a way to go yet, but for the first time in a while there are encouraging signs that sanity is reasserting itself.
The lunacy had been developing for some time, but it was the election of Donald Trump, himself surely a source of enough material to keep an entire psychology faculty employed for life, that seemed to send the country over the edge.
The derangement with which much of the nation’s elites responded to his election was symptomatic of something very wrong. We have spent the past five years wandering lost, pulled deeper and deeper through the darker recesses of a certain type of American psyche.
Paranoid conspiracy theorizing—across the political spectrum to be sure, but at its most damaging and far-reaching in the firm conviction in the heads of much of the media and others that the nation had been hijacked by the agent of a foreign power.
Multiple manifestations of Covid insanity—in which medical practice and the scientific method were subordinated to political exigencies. Example: You could get sick if you attended a football game or a biker rally, but not if you attended the right sort of political protest or looted an urban store.
The capture of the public discourse by the lunacy of righteous wokery, in which math is racist, logic is a tool of white supremacy, merit is privilege and mothers are “birthing people.”
Moral panic: One terrible murder in an American city plunged millions into an orgy of self-loathing, recrimination and a kind of Puritan revivalism. This led naturally to the unhinged ideas that getting rid of the police would be an excellent way of reducing crime and, more than 50 years after the end of segregation, that Americans need to be racially separated.
Self-laceration: A nation founded uniquely in the pursuit of human liberty, which had done more than any other country in history to lift people out of tyranny, suddenly decided it had all along been a moral pariah, on a par with Nazi Germany or apartheid South Africa.
Self-delusion: The grandiose promises of a Democratic president and Congress, elected on the thinnest of margins, who convinced themselves they were the second coming of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
And yes, it must also be said, since it has been perhaps the most unnerving of all, a certain, intensifying psychosis on the right that reached its frenzied peak in January when a few thousand badly misled partisans recast themselves as latter day Paul Reveres and thought they could overturn a constitutional process with some cans of bear spray and a mock gibbet.
The disorienting polarization of a seemingly disintegrating country manifested itself in the wild lability by which we went from a president who tweeted inanities at 3:00 in the morning to a president unable to string a sentence together at 3:00 in the afternoon. From “Make America Great Again” to “Pretend America is Evil Now.”
But thanks to those voters in Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Minneapolis, Seattle, Buffalo, N.Y., and elsewhere, the fever may have broken.
Virginia, the rebuff to the woke educational establishment in a Democratic state was a firm message from the people that, no, the lunatics won’t be allowed to run the asylum. In New Jersey, voters sent a stern warning of their impatience with Covid authoritarianism. In Buffalo, citizens in large numbers patiently told their Democratic leaders that socialism wasn’t the answer. In Minneapolis and Seattle, people voted to stop the police-dismantling idiocy.
Almost everywhere, in fact, voters signaled they would really like their representatives to focus on sane, rational policies and clean up the various messes they have helped create.
And you realize as you contemplate these results—and look forward perhaps to more of the same next year—that it isn’t America, or most Americans, who’ve gone off the rails these past few years. It’s the American leadership class. Seized of their own righteousness, convinced by their own propaganda, pickled in their own ideology, drunk on their own Kool-Aid, these so-called leaders—political, media, corporate, academic—have come dangerously close to taking the country over the cliff.
Fortunately, this country is, despite the apparent attempts of some and the doubts of others, still a decent place, full of rational people repelled by all this nonsense. Perhaps democracy isn’t so crazy after all.
Hard for world leaders to take a dementia ridden President seriously.
(You'll notice that in the official group portraits of the G7 and Climate conference Biden is at the edge of the picture. Trump made sure e was front and center as bequeath to the leader of the free world )

And the election results will hopefully be repeated next year

you are in the abyss without any hope to get out
and what you are accusing Scott of is actually what you are
The alky has the reading comprehension of a potted plant as was evidenced by his COMPLETE misunderstanding of the Claremont piece.
He's an idiot locked down in a room with someone who's mental illness is on par with his own.
He thinks we take him seriously when he posts his multi-comment plagiarisms. Like it reflects a level of intellect. All it shows is how easily he's swayed and how little he truly understands/comprehends.

How Covid became the unlikely hero of our inflation crisis
The case for not painting the inflation we’re seeing as some mysterious disastrous affliction that’s descended on the economy.
Because folks all across America have finally gotten their wish of paying up to 50% more for EVERYTHING, and they should be grateful because they just can't comprehend what a gift this really is, courtesy of the awesome Sloppy Joe administration.
THIS is a classic example of the gaslighting that the alky falls for every fucking day.
No, James Carville rebuked the woke bullshit, and a racist hack on MSDNC told him to shut the fuck up.

AP and the FAKE NEWS state media continue to gaslight low iq voters
and roger is oblivious
that's why he posted what he posted what he did earlier
but the WSJ post just shows his mental incompetence
Can 10 months really make a real difference in America? Not normally.
But weld together a hard-left socialist agenda with the control of the White House and Congress onto the combined forces of progressive woke media, Silicon Valley, the corporate boardrooms, the entertainment industry, academia, and the Wall Street borg—all in the age of instant and intrusive communications—and it’s no wonder a country, even a nation as resilient as the United States, can descend quite quickly in ways that make America almost unrecognizable.
In other words, 40 weeks of relentless Bidenism finally permeates most of the nation
Sleepy Joe Biden’s ability to finally get the infrastructure bill that eluded Trump for four years is an object lesson in what can be achieved if we sideline the ideologues and crony capitalists. Now Democrats should finish the job.
'Hope your family dies!' Trump supporter leaves threatening message for Republican who backed infrastructure
Brad Reed
November 08, 2021
Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI) on Monday appeared on CNN with Anderson Cooper to discuss some of the angry blowback he's received after voting last week for the bipartisan infrastructure package signed into law by President Joe Biden.
Cooper started off by telling Upton he'd heard about some "disturbing" phone calls he'd received after the infrastructure vote, and he proceeded to play an audio recording of an unhinged man yelling through the phone.
"F*cking traitor!" said the man. "That's what you are. You're a f*cking piece of sh*t traitor. I hope you die. I hope everybody in your f*cking family dies!"
Cooper then asked Upton for his reaction.
"Thank goodness it wasn't a constituent," said Upton, explaining that a Republican colleague "put out the phone numbers of the 13 of us that voted that way," which presumably led to the threatening phone calls.
Upton nonetheless expressed concern about the rage that voting for a bipartisan infrastructure package has generated.
"We've seen civility really downslide here," he said. "I am concerned about my staff. They are taking these calls... the threats to them."
MOSCOW — The man who allegedly incited in the Capitol riot Jan. 6 and is wanted by the FBI is now seeking asylum in Belarus, the country’s state media reported Monday, presenting him as a “simple American whose shops were burned by Black Lives Matter activists.” Donald Trump, who appears to have sat down for an interview with Belarusian state television in a segment titled “Goodbye, America,”
Because he couldn't accept defeat!
Belarus doesn't extradite people to the United States.
Sleepy Joe Biden’s ability to finally get the infrastructure bill that eluded Trump for four years is an object lesson in what can be achieved if we sideline the ideologues and crony capitalists. Now Democrats should finish the job.
Both sides.
Biden’s ability to finally get the infrastructure bill that eluded Trump for four years is an object lesson in what can be achieved if we sideline the ideologues and crony capitalists. Now Democrats should finish the job.
Alky plagiarizes both sides of an op/ed. The front AND the back.
And infrastructure didn't elude Trump, you drunken sot. He chose to focus on bigger and better things -
Full employment, best economy in 50 years, lowest minority unemployment EVER measured, 6% real wage growth, and a tax cut that helped the middle class while fucking the rich out of their SALT deduction. A deduction that democrats - the party of the rich - seek to restore.
Axios says that Bidennomics is doing a lot better than before he took office
Economic pessimism is on the rise — despite the fact that the actual economy is doing exceptionally well.
Why it matters: The big question facing the White House between now and next year's elections is whether it will be able to use America's real-world economic health to boost President Biden's economic approval ratings.
What they're saying: A White House official says that some of the economic pessimism comes from supply chain issues, which are contributing to the soaring price of cars and other goods.
While the Biden administration is trying to seize on positive economic indicators to demonstrate signs of strength in the economy, the broad population doesn't yet seem to be convinced.
By the numbers: Economic strength is undeniable, both in the country overall and at the household level. The economy is expected to grow 5.7% this year.
Almost 6 million jobs were created just between January and October; the unemployment rate is now just 4.6%. The quit rate, the standard barometer of workers' optimism, hit an all-time record high of 2.9% in August.Average earnings are up 3.5% this year and 4.9% annually, to $31 per hour.Checking accounts are 50% fatter than they were pre-pandemic, while the bottom 50% of the population now has more than $3 trillion in household wealth — up 32% just in the first half of this year, and up 55% from before the pandemic.Stocks hit a new record high every day last week (and yesterday, too), and are up more than 30% year-t0-date.
Yes, but: 56% of voters think the country is on the wrong track, up from 39% in June, per the Harris Poll; 57% think the economy is weak, up from 43% in June.
The Gallup economic confidence index is now at -25, down from positive territory in June.
Inflation, both reported and actual, is a central concern. The most salient price in the economy — the gas price — is up 62% over the past year, to $3.42 per gallon, and the most recent inflation rate, released tomorrow, is expected to come in at an eye-popping 5.8% year-on-year.
Cable news has been talking about inflation much more frequently, with a particular spike at Fox News.Once you start looking for inflation, you see it everywhere. And it's very hard for individuals to quantify from their own experience.
The bottom line: Biden doesn't need to worry about the economy. He does, however, need to worry about what Americans think of the economy.
-------------
He has to provide an optimistic view to the people, so Thecoldheartedtruth about the fastest economic recovery in history!
The infrastructure plan will create millions of jobs in the next few years and
Full employment, best economy in 50 years, lowest minority unemployment EVER measured, 6% real wage growth, and a tax cut that helped the middle class.
"F*cking traitor!" said the man. "That's what you are. You're a f*cking piece of sh*t traitor. I hope you die. I hope everybody in your f*cking family dies!"
I completely understand the sentiment, but it's a waste of time that only serves to elevate the BP of a small thinker like YOU, alky.
We have four traitors here in NY. Two upstate, two downstate. All four need to be primaried and sent packing. Malliotakis in particular, considering how she lied her way to her house seat every step of the way. She's a freshman who should never be allowed to return. At least not as a member of the GOP.
Almost 6 million jobs were created just between January and October;
FACT CHECK: FALSE.
NO new jobs have bee created under Brandon.
Jobs that were intentionally fucking DESTROYED because 'bad orange man' have been RESTORED, but no new jobs have been created.
And the unemployment rate drop is due almost entirely to people leaving the workforce PERMANENTLY.
So to crow about these things in a positive light is to LIE. And there is no more prolific liar around here than YOU, alky.
So let's watch Axios contradict itself -
Yes, but: 56% of voters think the country is on the wrong track, up from 39% in June, per the Harris Poll; 57% think the economy is weak, up from 43% in June.
The Gallup economic confidence index is now at -25, down from positive territory in June.

The economic pain inflicted by Brandon on the American people and American economy is very real, and no amount of bullshit spin from some tool in the MSM changes that FACT.
Go suck on one of your juice boxes alky.
You contribute NOTHING but the opinions of others.
My own words without anger are fear of Thecoldheartedtruth.
He has to provide an optimistic view to the people, so Thecoldheartedtruth about the fastest economic recovery in history!
The infrastructure plan will create millions of jobs in the next few years and
Full employment, best economy in 50 years, lowest minority unemployment EVER measured, 6% real wage growth, and a tax cut that helped the middle class. Play the video.
Although Coulter wrote the bestseller In Trump We Trust, E Pluribus Awesome! ahead of the 2016 presidential campaign, the right-wing firebrand has become ever more critical of the former president.
In an interview on Andrew Sullivan's Dishcast on November 5, Coulter said she knew what Trump's character was like before he was elected but supported him anyway because of his immigration policy and pledge to build the wall on the southern U.S. border.
"I was well familiar with what a narcissistic, ridiculous, tacky, vulgar, arriviste this guy was," she told Sullivan. "That I knew about. The one thing I underestimated, in fact, did not see at all is, I had no idea how abjectly stupid the man is."
She echoed the same thing as I have been saying for years
Representative Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.) is a particularly pernicious member of this fifth column, working deviously to undermine the strength of the GOP from within.
Alky, you're still nothing but one big, stolen, copy/paste plagiarism.

The White House confirmed that President Joe Biden is studying the impact of shutting down the Embridge Line 5 pipeline, at a time when fuel prices are up sharply.
White House deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that the Biden administration was exploring the idea.
“There is a review and we’re waiting,” she said during the daily press briefing, when questioned about the administration’s position by reporters.
Jean-Pierre first called the reports “not accurate” before admitting to Fox News reporter Peter Doocy there was a study underway about shutting down the pipeline.
“Yes we are,” she admitted, stressing that the Biden administration had not made a decision about whether or not to shut it down.
Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling announced in a news release Wednesday that he had referred recommendations for criminal charges against five of the six members of the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) to Racine County District Attorney Patricia Hanson, a Republican.
Last week, Schmaling called a news conference to lay out allegations of election fraud against the commissioners but said he hadn’t sent the investigation to the DA and was instead calling for a statewide investigation into the matter from Attorney General Josh Kaul. After Kaul declined to open an investigation, Schmaling sent his recommendations, which include felony charges.
Schmaling and his investigator allege that when the WEC voted unanimously in Spring 2020 not to send special voting deputies (SVDs) into nursing home facilities because of the COVID-19 pandemic, they’d broken the law. SVDs are pairs of people appointed by local election clerks to go to nursing homes to assist with voting. At the time of the unanimous vote, visitors weren’t being allowed into nursing homes to protect residents from the virus so the WEC voted to forgo the two visits SVDs are required to attempt to make to nursing homes and instead use the normal absentee ballot process.
Schmaling alleged that once the residents of a Mount Pleasant nursing home used the absentee ballot process, they were illegally coerced by facility staff into voting. Schmaling said some of the residents were cognitively impaired. People with cognitive disabilities are still able to vote unless a judge declares them incompetent.

Well earlier roger encouraged (after calling Rittenhouse a white terrorist murderer then declaring he would be acquitted) CHT to read this article and even highlighted the conclusion:
"Voters Decide to Make America Sane Again."
Actually I should say challenged because roger said it would change CHT's mind. An article that concluded the election results in state like Virginia were a hopeful sign for America.
Based on roger's continuous copying of state media I suspect he either didn't read it or didn't comprehend it.
Or turned on Biden.
The Biden supporters are facing extinction so it is possible.
ROFLMFAO !!!
btw thanks for the hat tip CHT, hadn't noticed it though I knew I posted the same video!!!
Don’t forget that Facebook immediately labeled Kyle Rittenhouse a mass shooter & shut down every attempt to raise money for his legal defense. PayPal & GoFundMe dumped those efforts too.
Once corporate America declares you guilty, they will weaponize the market against you.

Biden Seeks Infrastructure Bounce November 9, 2021 at 6:27 am EST
Washington Post: “Celinda Lake, a pollster for Biden, said Democrats should take two cautionary tales from the American Rescue Plan: Few voters know that Republicans voted against it, and voters only temporarily gave credit to Democrats for passing it.”
Said Lake: “It’s a sobering reminder of how hard it is to break through, how hard it is to get credit and how little people really understand who is voting for and against these things.
“White House officials say circumstances are different now. For instance, the infrastructure plan will take much more time to implement, in contrast to the American Rescue Plan, for which the administration worked to get relief out to Americans as quickly as possible.
“That longer timeline, officials said, will allow the administration to continue to sell pieces of the plan for many months and even years later.”

WATCH: Bob Woodward claims to have evidence of a Trump conspiracy in CNN interview
Tom Boggioni
November 09, 2021
In an interview with CNN "New Day" host Brianna Keilar, the Washington Post's Bob Woodward explained that his researcher has uncovered evidence that could be used in a conspiracy charge against Donald Trump and some of his closest allies.
Speaking with the CNN host, Woodward explained, "[Co-author] Robert Costa and I didn't discover this, but our assistant who is a lawyer, Claire McMullen, is just bombarding us with research and information. And she discovered on May 5th, John Eastman, in a podcast -- now, this is before our book came out -- specifically talked about the war room and the Willard [hotel] and said it was kind of coordinating all of the communication."
"Then in a very important legal point he said I would not normally talk about things like this, but I have been directed by the president of the United States -- at that time that was Trump, to tell and to talk -- so he's waived the privilege," he continued. "And traditionally judges will look at this and say, 'Hey, wait a minute, you're out talking about it, but also you're saying your client, the president of the united states specifically said talk, explain,' so how do you justify not talking to this committee or a grand jury and so you're kind of -- you've got one and a half feet in the door already."
"It is really fascinating," Keilar interjected. "The Willard, for the uninitiated, the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C., it is near the White House and he's referring to this war room, this kind of coordination center that we heard Steve Bannon actually refer to before as well."
"I do want to talk about Michael Flynn," she continued. "You've reported extensively about some of what Michael Flynn has said that is obviously very interesting to this committee and that has to do with his discussion of invoking martial law."
"Yeah, he is the hard-liner in the Trump orbit," he replied, "and would be a key witness in this. Now, as we have discussed, the January 6th committee does not have a strong hand because there will be delaying moves and traditionally congressional committees can't get this kind of information and this goes back to the Nixon tapes case in 1974. So this is in the hands of the Justice Department and, again, Claire, our assistant, has been saying, 'look, go back and look at the Supreme Court decisions.' This is a clear case of a violation of what is called 371 Section conspiracy to defraud the U.S. If this is not a conspiracy to defraud the U.S., I don't know what is."

Democrats hope passing the infrastructure bill will impress the voters who can't afford gas to drive their kids to school to learn how to be more anti-white.
I can't remember the last time Democrats they were right about anything.
1) The vast majority of disinformation, propaganda and lies that flooded the country over the last 5 years did not come from MAGA boomers on Facebook or 4Chan teenagers but the largest and most influential liberal corporate media outlets.
2) These are not cases where media outlets erred. They deliberately lied. The way to know that is they refuse to acknowledge evidence proving they lied.
Remember they just *ignored* @SchreckReports' book proving the Biden emails were real. Now this: Chuck Ross @ChuckRossDC · Nov 4 And still nothing about Danchenko from the website that released the Steele dossier to the world. This is journalistic arson
3) By far the best and most accurate reporting on all matters relating to Russiagate came not from the liberal corporate outlets that want to censor the internet in the name of disinformation or which shower themselves with Pulitzers for lies, but from the right-wing press.
The reporters who know most about Russiagate and did distinguished facts from lies -- @ChuckRossDC, @MZHemingway, @JerryDunleavy, along with a few young journalists who risked their careers in left-wing media: @aaronjmate & @mtracey -- are the ones you've been told to ignore.
A few people objected to my statement yesterday that hatred of them is just.
Think about this: they spent weeks before the 2020 election spreading the CIA lie that the Biden emails were "Russian disinformation," but when a POLITICO reporter disproved that, they ignored his book.
These are the world's most pompous, smug, self-righteous people. They never stop telling they're the guardians of democracy and truth.
But then when they get *caught lying* -- when irrefutable evidence emerges debunking their lies -- they ignore it. How is that not contemptible?
I've been a vocal critic of liberal corporate media since I began writing 15 years ago - it's why I started - and especially so the last 5 years.
But that escalated when they just *ignored* @SchreckReports' book proving they lied about the Biden emails.
We all know exactly which outlets and media personalities spent the weeks before the 2020 election spreading the CIA's lie: the Biden emails were "Russian disinformation." They know who they are. How do they sleep knowing they lied about this, then ignoring this book proving it?? continues on link above with color
and they are up to it again and the alky and the "pastor" have their hooks firmly planted in their mouths.
Trump's campaign aides and advisers set up a "war room" as a command center to brainstorm efforts to halt the counting of electoral votes days before the assault on the Capitol.
"In the days before the January 6th attack, the former President's closest allies and advisors drove a campaign of misinformation about the election and planned ways to stop the count of Electoral College votes," Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the chair of the committee, said in a statement. "The Select Committee needs to know every detail about their efforts to overturn the election, including who they were talking to in the White House and in Congress, what connections they had with rallies that escalated into a riot, and who paid for it all."

Legal expert: If Rittenhouse testifies it’s going to be a disaster for the defense
Henry Redman, Wisconsin Examiner
November 09, 2021
After one week of testimony in the trial of 18-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, who is charged with multiple counts of homicide after killing two people and wounding a third during a protest against police violence in Kenosha last year, the contours of each side's case have come into view.
For the prosecution, a lot of testimony has focused on the actions of other individuals in Kenosha that night and why, amid all the chaos, Rittenhouse was the only person who shot anyone. For the defense, which is making the claim that Rittenhouse acted in self-defense, the case has hinged on breaking down the shootings into the few seconds before Rittenhouse decided to shoot and why his decisions were reasonable.
For the prosecution, cross-examining Rittenhouse comes with its own challenges. For one, the prosecutor doesn't want to appear to the jury as if he's being a bully to a teenaged defendant, according to Glinberg, a former Dane County assistant district attorney.
“They don't want to come across [as a bully]," Glinberg says. “In terms of cross examining Rittenhouse, they would have to, to the extent they can, pull out a few themes they want to identify and draw out from him. It could be about his credibility, is he credible when he's testifying? And, on direct examination, in a way that's self-serving? Similarly they would want to draw out or identify why his beliefs that he faced that threat may have been unreasonable."
“Inflation at the wholesale level rose 8.6% last month from a year earlier, matching September’s record annual gain and offering more evidence that inflationary pressures are not yet easing,” the AP reports.

Although the United States was born of a revolution, one common view maintains that the Constitution tamed our rebellious impulse and launched a distinctly nonrevolutionary political experiment. But throughout American history, an important strand of conservatism has repeatedly championed rebellions—or what are better understood as counterrevolutions.
They emerge like clockwork: Each time political minorities advocate for and achieve greater equality, conservatives rebel, trying to force a reinstatement of the status quo.
The term counterrevolution is significant not only because conservatives have regularly employed it, but also because it highlights their own agency, something they often seek to conceal. In order to portray their actions as defensive rather than aggressive, conservatives tend to depict themselves as acted upon and besieged. As William F. Buckley wrote in the National Review’s mission statement in 1955, conservatism “stands athwart history, yelling Stop.” Here the agent is history; conservatives are merely making a reply. But such rhetorical gestures discount what any close look at these movements makes clear: Conservatives have done much more than yell. They have fought against equality vigorously, often violently.
Three historical moments—the revolt against post–Civil War Reconstruction, the mid-century fight against civil rights, and the modern Tea Party and Trump movements—stand out as perfect examples of the counterrevolutionary dynamic. They share certain broad themes: a hostility to racial equality, the invocation of apocalyptic rhetoric—that America is “under siege,” as President Donald Trump told the crowd on January 6 prior to the Capitol insurrection—and a deep distrust of democracy.
The rest of this very good essay provides historical examples to elucidate each point.
In other words, it’s incredible (but not really) just how the election of Barack Obama radicalized whites in this nation.
“Inflation at the wholesale level rose 8.6% last month from a year earlier, matching September’s record annual gain and offering more evidence that inflationary pressures are not yet easing,” the AP reports.
And it all started with Biden killing the Keystone XL pipeline and the closing of federal lands oil exploration and shutting oil production in Anwar.
Now he wants to shut down the Line 5 pipeline from Canada to Michigan creating artificial shortages in Michigan, Ohio, and Illinois at a time when gasoline prices are skyrocketing.
I guess Biden is bound and determine to turn the Midwest permanently red.
If you think escaping inflation by not driving or driving an electric car you got another think coming. Fuel and oil prices are a cost component in everything produced, and/or transported. When Oil future go up, inflation occurs.
Last week, Matt highlighted a Politico report on Florida Democrats who are beginning to realize their chances of defeating Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has officially announced his reelection campaign, are slim to none. But the clearest sign yet that Democrats have already raised the white flag of surrender came after a separate Politico report indicating the Democratic Governors Association “has no plans to give significant financial help to Florida Democrats” in their efforts to take out the popular and successful Republican governor.
Guess Florida is officially going to red from purple.

The medical examiner who performed the autopsies of both of the men Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Aug. 25, 2020, testified that the first man Rittenhouse shot may have fallen forward due to being shot by the defendant himself — not because he was trying to attack the defendant.
The testimony by Dr. Doug Kelley, a forensic pathologist, seemed to have been designed by prosecutors to refute claims by several witnesses that Rittenhouse killed Joseph Rosenbaum specifically because Rosenbaum was lunging toward or stepping toward the defendant.
Assistant District Attorney James Kraus asked Kelley if a bullet injury to the groin and hip may have caused Rosenbaum “fall forward” or “move forward or move down in a downward position.”
Kelley said it was “possible” that the first bullet Rittenhouse fired caused a “very complex fracture involving the right side of the pelvis which may make the pelvis and the right leg more unstable.” Rosenbaum, unable to support himself, then may have fallen forward — landing him in the position where Rittenhouse fired what Kraus called a “kill shot.”
Kelley said that while autopsies generally cannot ascertain the order in which gunshots are fired, the Rittenhouse case was different because video of the shooting aided his analysis.
“I can see that he’s upright when the first shot is heard,” Kelley said while re-watching videos of the shooting in court.

The “possibility” — to use Kelley’s term — that Rittenhouse’s first bullet caused Rosenbaum to fall forward appeared designed to cast doubt on the testimony of earlier witnesses who suggested Rittenhouse fired when Rosenbaum lunged toward Rittenhouse. Prosecutors have long suggested Rosenbaum may have fallen rather than “lunged.” For instance, Richie McGinniss, a video director for the conservative website The Daily Caller, testified that Rosenbaum fell, lunged, or moved toward Rittenhouse and that the defendant fired in reaction to the movement. Kelley’s analysis suggested that Rittenhouse fired earlier than McGinnis perceived.

The great defense fumble of the day—from which they may still recover, if they even recognize the error—was accidentally revealed by the State making its own small error and getting caught by the defense. Or, perhaps more accurately, half-caught.
This generalized legal smash-up occurred during the questioning of State’s witness Susan Hughes, the great-aunt of Anthony Huber. Huber, you will remember, was the second man shot by Kyle the night of August 25, 2020, and fatally, after he struck Kyle twice around the head with a heavy skateboard, then grabbed Kyle’s rifle to seize it from him.
As ADA Jim Kraus was conducting direct questioning of Ms. Hughes, he attempted to introduce into evidence her testimony about an event from Huber’s childhood in which he’d purportedly saved a family gathering from an impending explosion.
Kraus initiated this by asking Ms. Hughes, “Have you known Huber to run to danger?”
The defense immediately objected, on grounds of relevance and also that it was inadmissible habit and custom evidence—that is, evidence attempting to argue that because somebody acted in a certain way on one occasion, that meant he acted in a similar way on a later occasion. Such evidence intended to prove a character trait or a proclivity is generally inadmissible
Remarkably, when the defense objected on the grounds of habit and custom, and Judge Schroeder sustained the objection on that basis, ADA Kraus looked directly at the judge and whined (all this in front of the jury, mind you), “All we’ve heard in this trial is nothing but habit and custom evidence.”
For those of you not in the legal profession, let me be the one to inform you—you don’t backtalk to the judge. Never, ever, ever. At least, not with expecting a smackdown.
Judge Schroeder looked right back at ADA Kraus, said “You don’t need to comment on my rulings,” and abruptly recessed the proceedings for a break. Presumably to have an opportunity to cool down before he let Kraus up.
When the court came back into session, Judge Schroeder left the jury out of the courtroom and asked the State and defense to argue out their respective positions on this “child Huber saved family from explosion” evidence outside the hearing of the jury.
The state’s position was that this evidence of Huber’s heroic conduct should be admissible because it would rebut the defense argument that Huber was the initial aggressor in his confrontation with Rittenhouse. That issue of initial aggressor, of course, goes right to the self-defense element of Innocence, without which Kyle’s claim of self-defense with respect to Huber would collapse.
That Huber was the initial aggressor is, of course, incontestably captured on video, as he chased down the fleeing Kyle, struck him twice with the heavy skateboard, and was fighting Kyle for control of his rifle when Kyle fired the single round that killed him.
Naturally, part of his claim of self-defense to justify this shooting is, indeed, that Kyle was not the initial aggressor, but rather that Huber was the initial aggressor. Certainly, the defense would be unwilling to concede that Kyle was the initial aggressor because doing so would lose the element of Innocence with respect to Huber, and lose self-defense.
So, the State argues that given the defense is (necessarily) arguing that Huber was the initial aggressor, they ought to be permitted to admit evidence of Huber’s “peaceful disposition” to rebut the defense—indeed, the admission of such rebuttal evidence is one of the statutorily permitted exceptions to the general prohibition on character evidence. If the other side says your guy is violent, you can introduce evidence to the contrary, if you have it.
Intent is a big deal.
It looks like self defense..

Unlike you I look at both sides and make up my own mind about this situation..but you can't comprehend

and the FBI was caught withholding video from a drone overhead which collaborated everything Rittenhouse said.
Now they say they have "lost" it after a lower resolution version leaked out.
scumbags
And always in one direction
They allowed the narrative to spread.
Hope they get their asses sued off but this has to stop.
Get politics out of the Justice department and DOJ
And that will only occur with a massive GOP takeover.
Biden is now blatantly using them on his political opponents. just like they did against Trump.
and state media is silent
the whole time
* FBI and DOJ
His lawyers have said they will show Rittenhouse acted in self-defense: that he fired the deadly shots out of fear for his own life during chaotic protests that were sparked by the police shootings of a Black man in Kenosha.
It looks like self defense to me
When the court came back into session, Judge Schroeder left the jury out of the courtroom and asked the State and defense to argue out their respective positions on this “child Huber saved family from explosion” evidence outside the hearing of the jury.
You're kidding right? There is no relevance to the trial at hand. There's not even a good time proximity. All you're doing is trying to engender sympathy for a murderous thug.
And yes, like a baseball bat a skateboard is a deadly weapon when you are trying beat someone to death.
"The Select Committee needs to know every detail about their efforts to overturn the election, including who they were talking to in the White House and in Congress, what connections they had with rallies that escalated into a riot, and who paid for it all."
WASHINGTON (AP) — Expanding its probe, the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection has issued subpoenas to six more associates of former President Donald Trump who were involved in his efforts to overturn his defeat in the 2020 election.
The House voted last month to hold longtime Trump ally Steve Bannon in contempt after he refused to comply with his subpoena from the panel investigating the origins of the violent attack. Trump himself is fighting the probe in court.
The committee's chairman, Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, said in a statement Monday that the panel is demanding testimony and documents from former Trump campaign officials and others who participated in a “war room” ahead of the siege and otherwise strategized about how to halt the certification of Joe Biden’s victory.
Thompson said the committee had issued new subpoenas to Bill Stepien, manager of Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign; Jason Miller, a senior adviser to the campaign; Angela McCallum, national executive assistant to the campaign; John Eastman, a lawyer who advised the former president; Michael Flynn, a former national security adviser to Trump who talked with Trump ahead of the insurrection, and Bernard Kerik, who the committee says paid for hotel rooms that served as command centers ahead of Jan. 6.
“In the days before the January 6th attack, the former president’s closest allies and advisers drove a campaign of misinformation about the election and planned ways to stop the count of Electoral College votes," Thompson said. "The Select Committee needs to know every detail about their efforts to overturn the election, including who they were talking to in the White House and in Congress, what connections they had with rallies that escalated into a riot, and who paid for it all."

If they paid in advance, they could face the death penalty. Treason.
Dumbass. Treason is defined in the Constitution (the only crime that is):
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The founding fathers felt it important enough to put in the Constitution to prevent what you are trying to do now. Use "Treason" to silence and eliminate your political opposition.
So good luck in trying to get a judge to agree that what happen Jan 6 "levying war against the United States". No one is that crazy.
The Wall Street Journal wonders how people will think about us right now.
the many people around the world who admire America and want her to succeed, watching events in this country over the past few years has been a little like observing a dear friend going through a mental-health crisis.
Many of the symptoms of a full psychiatric breakdown have been on display—denial of objective reality, wild mood swings, episodes of paranoia, delusional thinking and grandiose ideation, a tendency toward lacerating self-harm.
But last week, voters in a handful of states and cities donned the white coats and began wrestling the patient back to reality. There’s a way to go yet, but for the first time in a while there are encouraging signs that sanity is reasserting itself.
The lunacy had been developing for some time, but it was the election of Donald Trump, himself surely a source of enough material to keep an entire psychology faculty employed for life, that seemed to send the country over the edge.
The derangement with which much of the nation’s elites responded to his election was symptomatic of something very wrong. We have spent the past five years wandering lost, pulled deeper and deeper through the darker recesses of a certain type of American psyche.
More evidence exists
Paranoid conspiracy theorizing—across the political spectrum to be sure, but at its most damaging and far-reaching in the firm conviction in the heads of much of the media and others that the nation had been hijacked by the agent of a foreign power.
Multiple manifestations of Covid insanity—in which medical practice and the scientific method were subordinated to political exigencies. Example: You could get sick if you attended a football game or a biker rally, but not if you attended the right sort of political protest or looted an urban store.
The capture of the public discourse by the lunacy of righteous wokery, in which math is racist, logic is a tool of white supremacy, merit is privilege and mothers are “birthing people.”
Moral panic: One terrible murder in an American city plunged millions into an orgy of self-loathing, recrimination and a kind of Puritan revivalism. This led naturally to the unhinged ideas that getting rid of the police would be an excellent way of reducing crime and, more than 50 years after the end of segregation, that Americans need to be racially separated.
Self-laceration: A nation founded uniquely in the pursuit of human liberty, which had done more than any other country in history to lift people out of tyranny, suddenly decided it had all along been a moral pariah, on a par with Nazi Germany or apartheid South Africa.
Self-delusion: The grandiose promises of a Democratic president and Congress, elected on the thinnest of margins, who convinced themselves they were the second coming of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
And yes, it must also be said, since it has been perhaps the most unnerving of all, a certain, intensifying psychosis on the right that reached its frenzied peak in January when a few thousand badly misled partisans recast themselves as latter day Paul Reveres and thought they could overturn a constitutional process with some cans of bear spray and a mock gibbet.
The disorienting polarization of a seemingly disintegrating country manifested itself in the wild lability by which we went from a president who tweeted inanities at 3:00 in the morning to a president unable to string a sentence together at 3:00 in the afternoon. From “Make America Great Again” to “Pretend America is Evil Now.”
But thanks to those voters in Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Minneapolis, Seattle, Buffalo, N.Y., and elsewhere, the fever may have broken.
Virginia, the rebuff to the woke educational establishment in a Democratic state was a firm message from the people that, no, the lunatics won’t be allowed to run the asylum. In New Jersey, voters sent a stern warning of their impatience with Covid authoritarianism. In Buffalo, citizens in large numbers patiently told their Democratic leaders that socialism wasn’t the answer. In Minneapolis and Seattle, people voted to stop the police-dismantling idiocy.
Almost everywhere, in fact, voters signaled they would really like their representatives to focus on sane, rational policies and clean up the various messes they have helped create.
And you realize as you contemplate these results—and look forward perhaps to more of the same next year—that it isn’t America, or most Americans, who’ve gone off the rails these past few years. It’s the American leadership class. Seized of their own righteousness, convinced by their own propaganda, pickled in their own ideology, drunk on their own Kool-Aid, these so-called leaders—political, media, corporate, academic—have come dangerously close to taking the country over the cliff.
Fortunately, this country is, despite the apparent attempts of some and the doubts of others, still a decent place, full of rational people repelled by all this nonsense. Perhaps democracy isn’t so crazy after all.
Aka moderate people like me can save the country.

THIS is a classic example of the gaslighting that the alky falls for every fucking day.

Can 10 months really make a real difference in America? Not normally.
But weld together a hard-left socialist agenda with the control of the White House and Congress onto the combined forces of progressive woke media, Silicon Valley, the corporate boardrooms, the entertainment industry, academia, and the Wall Street borg—all in the age of instant and intrusive communications—and it’s no wonder a country, even a nation as resilient as the United States, can descend quite quickly in ways that make America almost unrecognizable.
In other words, 40 weeks of relentless Bidenism finally permeates most of the nation
Sleepy Joe Biden’s ability to finally get the infrastructure bill that eluded Trump for four years is an object lesson in what can be achieved if we sideline the ideologues and crony capitalists. Now Democrats should finish the job.
Both sides.
He is a brilliant man but thinking that every one else is a Democratic hoax.

'Hope your family dies!' Trump supporter leaves threatening message for Republican who backed infrastructure
Brad Reed
November 08, 2021
Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI) on Monday appeared on CNN with Anderson Cooper to discuss some of the angry blowback he's received after voting last week for the bipartisan infrastructure package signed into law by President Joe Biden.
Cooper started off by telling Upton he'd heard about some "disturbing" phone calls he'd received after the infrastructure vote, and he proceeded to play an audio recording of an unhinged man yelling through the phone.
"F*cking traitor!" said the man. "That's what you are. You're a f*cking piece of sh*t traitor. I hope you die. I hope everybody in your f*cking family dies!"
Cooper then asked Upton for his reaction.
"Thank goodness it wasn't a constituent," said Upton, explaining that a Republican colleague "put out the phone numbers of the 13 of us that voted that way," which presumably led to the threatening phone calls.
Upton nonetheless expressed concern about the rage that voting for a bipartisan infrastructure package has generated.
"We've seen civility really downslide here," he said. "I am concerned about my staff. They are taking these calls... the threats to them."
MOSCOW — The man who allegedly incited in the Capitol riot Jan. 6 and is wanted by the FBI is now seeking asylum in Belarus, the country’s state media reported Monday, presenting him as a “simple American whose shops were burned by Black Lives Matter activists.”

Because he couldn't accept defeat!
Belarus doesn't extradite people to the United States.

Alky plagiarizes both sides of an op/ed. The front AND the back.
And infrastructure didn't elude Trump, you drunken sot. He chose to focus on bigger and better things -
Full employment, best economy in 50 years, lowest minority unemployment EVER measured, 6% real wage growth, and a tax cut that helped the middle class while fucking the rich out of their SALT deduction. A deduction that democrats - the party of the rich - seek to restore.
Axios says that Bidennomics is doing a lot better than before he took office
Economic pessimism is on the rise — despite the fact that the actual economy is doing exceptionally well.
Why it matters: The big question facing the White House between now and next year's elections is whether it will be able to use America's real-world economic health to boost President Biden's economic approval ratings.
What they're saying: A White House official says that some of the economic pessimism comes from supply chain issues, which are contributing to the soaring price of cars and other goods.
While the Biden administration is trying to seize on positive economic indicators to demonstrate signs of strength in the economy, the broad population doesn't yet seem to be convinced.
By the numbers: Economic strength is undeniable, both in the country overall and at the household level. The economy is expected to grow 5.7% this year.
Almost 6 million jobs were created just between January and October; the unemployment rate is now just 4.6%. The quit rate, the standard barometer of workers' optimism, hit an all-time record high of 2.9% in August.Average earnings are up 3.5% this year and 4.9% annually, to $31 per hour.Checking accounts are 50% fatter than they were pre-pandemic, while the bottom 50% of the population now has more than $3 trillion in household wealth — up 32% just in the first half of this year, and up 55% from before the pandemic.Stocks hit a new record high every day last week (and yesterday, too), and are up more than 30% year-t0-date.
Yes, but: 56% of voters think the country is on the wrong track, up from 39% in June, per the Harris Poll; 57% think the economy is weak, up from 43% in June.
The Gallup economic confidence index is now at -25, down from positive territory in June.
Inflation, both reported and actual, is a central concern. The most salient price in the economy — the gas price — is up 62% over the past year, to $3.42 per gallon, and the most recent inflation rate, released tomorrow, is expected to come in at an eye-popping 5.8% year-on-year.
Cable news has been talking about inflation much more frequently, with a particular spike at Fox News.Once you start looking for inflation, you see it everywhere. And it's very hard for individuals to quantify from their own experience.
The bottom line: Biden doesn't need to worry about the economy. He does, however, need to worry about what Americans think of the economy.
-------------
He has to provide an optimistic view to the people, so Thecoldheartedtruth about the fastest economic recovery in history!
The infrastructure plan will create millions of jobs in the next few years and
Full employment, best economy in 50 years, lowest minority unemployment EVER measured, 6% real wage growth, and a tax cut that helped the middle class.
https://www.axios.com/economy-inflation-stocks-good-pessimism-biden-997e1f94-f600-4475-8cc3-811fd5cf247c.html
"F*cking traitor!" said the man. "That's what you are. You're a f*cking piece of sh*t traitor. I hope you die. I hope everybody in your f*cking family dies!"
I completely understand the sentiment, but it's a waste of time that only serves to elevate the BP of a small thinker like YOU, alky.
We have four traitors here in NY. Two upstate, two downstate. All four need to be primaried and sent packing. Malliotakis in particular, considering how she lied her way to her house seat every step of the way. She's a freshman who should never be allowed to return. At least not as a member of the GOP.
Almost 6 million jobs were created just between January and October;
FACT CHECK: FALSE.
NO new jobs have bee created under Brandon.
Jobs that were intentionally fucking DESTROYED because 'bad orange man' have been RESTORED, but no new jobs have been created.
And the unemployment rate drop is due almost entirely to people leaving the workforce PERMANENTLY.
So to crow about these things in a positive light is to LIE. And there is no more prolific liar around here than YOU, alky.
So let's watch Axios contradict itself -
Yes, but: 56% of voters think the country is on the wrong track, up from 39% in June, per the Harris Poll; 57% think the economy is weak, up from 43% in June.
The Gallup economic confidence index is now at -25, down from positive territory in June.

The economic pain inflicted by Brandon on the American people and American economy is very real, and no amount of bullshit spin from some tool in the MSM changes that FACT.

Although Coulter wrote the bestseller In Trump We Trust, E Pluribus Awesome! ahead of the 2016 presidential campaign, the right-wing firebrand has become ever more critical of the former president.
In an interview on Andrew Sullivan's Dishcast on November 5, Coulter said she knew what Trump's character was like before he was elected but supported him anyway because of his immigration policy and pledge to build the wall on the southern U.S. border.
"I was well familiar with what a narcissistic, ridiculous, tacky, vulgar, arriviste this guy was," she told Sullivan. "That I knew about. The one thing I underestimated, in fact, did not see at all is, I had no idea how abjectly stupid the man is."

The White House confirmed that President Joe Biden is studying the impact of shutting down the Embridge Line 5 pipeline, at a time when fuel prices are up sharply.
White House deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that the Biden administration was exploring the idea.
“There is a review and we’re waiting,” she said during the daily press briefing, when questioned about the administration’s position by reporters.
Jean-Pierre first called the reports “not accurate” before admitting to Fox News reporter Peter Doocy there was a study underway about shutting down the pipeline.
“Yes we are,” she admitted, stressing that the Biden administration had not made a decision about whether or not to shut it down.

Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling announced in a news release Wednesday that he had referred recommendations for criminal charges against five of the six members of the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) to Racine County District Attorney Patricia Hanson, a Republican.
Last week, Schmaling called a news conference to lay out allegations of election fraud against the commissioners but said he hadn’t sent the investigation to the DA and was instead calling for a statewide investigation into the matter from Attorney General Josh Kaul. After Kaul declined to open an investigation, Schmaling sent his recommendations, which include felony charges.
Schmaling and his investigator allege that when the WEC voted unanimously in Spring 2020 not to send special voting deputies (SVDs) into nursing home facilities because of the COVID-19 pandemic, they’d broken the law. SVDs are pairs of people appointed by local election clerks to go to nursing homes to assist with voting. At the time of the unanimous vote, visitors weren’t being allowed into nursing homes to protect residents from the virus so the WEC voted to forgo the two visits SVDs are required to attempt to make to nursing homes and instead use the normal absentee ballot process.
Schmaling alleged that once the residents of a Mount Pleasant nursing home used the absentee ballot process, they were illegally coerced by facility staff into voting. Schmaling said some of the residents were cognitively impaired. People with cognitive disabilities are still able to vote unless a judge declares them incompetent.

Well earlier roger encouraged (after calling Rittenhouse a white terrorist murderer then declaring he would be acquitted) CHT to read this article and even highlighted the conclusion:
"Voters Decide to Make America Sane Again."
Actually I should say challenged because roger said it would change CHT's mind. An article that concluded the election results in state like Virginia were a hopeful sign for America.
Based on roger's continuous copying of state media I suspect he either didn't read it or didn't comprehend it.

Biden Seeks Infrastructure Bounce
November 9, 2021 at 6:27 am EST
Washington Post: “Celinda Lake, a pollster for Biden, said Democrats should take two cautionary tales from the American Rescue Plan: Few voters know that Republicans voted against it, and voters only temporarily gave credit to Democrats for passing it.”
Said Lake:
“It’s a sobering reminder of how hard it is to break through, how hard it is to get credit and how little people really understand who is voting for and against these things.
“White House officials say circumstances are different now. For instance, the infrastructure plan will take much more time to implement, in contrast to the American Rescue Plan, for which the administration worked to get relief out to Americans as quickly as possible.
“That longer timeline, officials said, will allow the administration to continue to sell pieces of the plan for many months and even years later.”

WATCH: Bob Woodward claims to have evidence of a Trump conspiracy in CNN interview
Tom Boggioni
November 09, 2021
In an interview with CNN "New Day" host Brianna Keilar, the Washington Post's Bob Woodward explained that his researcher has uncovered evidence that could be used in a conspiracy charge against Donald Trump and some of his closest allies.
Speaking with the CNN host, Woodward explained, "[Co-author] Robert Costa and I didn't discover this, but our assistant who is a lawyer, Claire McMullen, is just bombarding us with research and information. And she discovered on May 5th, John Eastman, in a podcast -- now, this is before our book came out -- specifically talked about the war room and the Willard [hotel] and said it was kind of coordinating all of the communication."
"Then in a very important legal point he said I would not normally talk about things like this, but I have been directed by the president of the United States -- at that time that was Trump, to tell and to talk -- so he's waived the privilege," he continued. "And traditionally judges will look at this and say, 'Hey, wait a minute, you're out talking about it, but also you're saying your client, the president of the united states specifically said talk, explain,' so how do you justify not talking to this committee or a grand jury and so you're kind of -- you've got one and a half feet in the door already."
"It is really fascinating," Keilar interjected. "The Willard, for the uninitiated, the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C., it is near the White House and he's referring to this war room, this kind of coordination center that we heard Steve Bannon actually refer to before as well."
"I do want to talk about Michael Flynn," she continued. "You've reported extensively about some of what Michael Flynn has said that is obviously very interesting to this committee and that has to do with his discussion of invoking martial law."
"Yeah, he is the hard-liner in the Trump orbit," he replied, "and would be a key witness in this. Now, as we have discussed, the January 6th committee does not have a strong hand because there will be delaying moves and traditionally congressional committees can't get this kind of information and this goes back to the Nixon tapes case in 1974. So this is in the hands of the Justice Department and, again, Claire, our assistant, has been saying, 'look, go back and look at the Supreme Court decisions.' This is a clear case of a violation of what is called 371 Section conspiracy to defraud the U.S. If this is not a conspiracy to defraud the U.S., I don't know what is."
Who are the traitors today?

1) The vast majority of disinformation, propaganda and lies that flooded the country over the last 5 years did not come from MAGA boomers on Facebook or 4Chan teenagers but the largest and most influential liberal corporate media outlets.
2) These are not cases where media outlets erred. They deliberately lied. The way to know that is they refuse to acknowledge evidence proving they lied.
Remember they just *ignored* @SchreckReports' book proving the Biden emails were real. Now this:
Chuck Ross
@ChuckRossDC
· Nov 4
And still nothing about Danchenko from the website that released the Steele dossier to the world. This is journalistic arson
3) By far the best and most accurate reporting on all matters relating to Russiagate came not from the liberal corporate outlets that want to censor the internet in the name of disinformation or which shower themselves with Pulitzers for lies, but from the right-wing press.
The reporters who know most about Russiagate and did distinguished facts from lies -- @ChuckRossDC, @MZHemingway, @JerryDunleavy, along with a few young journalists who risked their careers in left-wing media: @aaronjmate &
@mtracey -- are the ones you've been told to ignore.
A few people objected to my statement yesterday that hatred of them is just.
Think about this: they spent weeks before the 2020 election spreading the CIA lie that the Biden emails were "Russian disinformation," but when a POLITICO reporter disproved that, they ignored his book.
These are the world's most pompous, smug, self-righteous people. They never stop telling they're the guardians of democracy and truth.
But then when they get *caught lying* -- when irrefutable evidence emerges debunking their lies -- they ignore it. How is that not contemptible?
I've been a vocal critic of liberal corporate media since I began writing 15 years ago - it's why I started - and especially so the last 5 years.
But that escalated when they just *ignored* @SchreckReports' book proving they lied about the Biden emails.
We all know exactly which outlets and media personalities spent the weeks before the 2020 election spreading the CIA's lie: the Biden emails were "Russian disinformation." They know who they are. How do they sleep knowing they lied about this, then ignoring this book proving it??

Trump's campaign aides and advisers set up a "war room" as a command center to brainstorm efforts to halt the counting of electoral votes days before the assault on the Capitol.
"In the days before the January 6th attack, the former President's closest allies and advisors drove a campaign of misinformation about the election and planned ways to stop the count of Electoral College votes," Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the chair of the committee, said in a statement. "The Select Committee needs to know every detail about their efforts to overturn the election, including who they were talking to in the White House and in Congress, what connections they had with rallies that escalated into a riot, and who paid for it all."

The prosecution might offer a deal to get reduced sentences for their testimony...even down to a misdemeanor charge and a fine. No jail time.
Bare Shelf Biden now warns the American public that "home heating cost will much more then last year".
It is the direct result of Biden's policies.
I warned you all 3 months ago home heating cost were spiking.
"Prices rose 8.6 percent from a year ago in October, the second consecutive month of the fastest annual pace of inflation in records going back 10 years."
You're not a lawyer alky.
For chrissakes you're barely ambulatory, and only allowed outside with an orderly.
Idiot.

Legal expert: If Rittenhouse testifies it’s going to be a disaster for the defense
Henry Redman, Wisconsin Examiner
November 09, 2021
After one week of testimony in the trial of 18-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, who is charged with multiple counts of homicide after killing two people and wounding a third during a protest against police violence in Kenosha last year, the contours of each side's case have come into view.
For the prosecution, a lot of testimony has focused on the actions of other individuals in Kenosha that night and why, amid all the chaos, Rittenhouse was the only person who shot anyone. For the defense, which is making the claim that Rittenhouse acted in self-defense, the case has hinged on breaking down the shootings into the few seconds before Rittenhouse decided to shoot and why his decisions were reasonable.
For the prosecution, cross-examining Rittenhouse comes with its own challenges. For one, the prosecutor doesn't want to appear to the jury as if he's being a bully to a teenaged defendant, according to Glinberg, a former Dane County assistant district attorney.
“They don't want to come across [as a bully]," Glinberg says. “In terms of cross examining Rittenhouse, they would have to, to the extent they can, pull out a few themes they want to identify and draw out from him. It could be about his credibility, is he credible when he's testifying? And, on direct examination, in a way that's self-serving? Similarly they would want to draw out or identify why his beliefs that he faced that threat may have been unreasonable."
Bidenomics is an unmitigated disaster.
His policies are destroying the wealth of the middle income and low earners.
Alky believes this is a great economy.

“Inflation at the wholesale level rose 8.6% last month from a year earlier, matching September’s record annual gain and offering more evidence that inflationary pressures are not yet easing,” the AP reports.
Not good news
Roger at his most paranoid today.
He could be the Mel Gibson character in Conspericy Theory.
Told ya so.
"Transitory Inflation " was just a made up bs Socialist term, not real economics at all.
" Persistent inflation, Fed tightening now top cited financial stability concern"
Omg, so easy to mock The Three Socialist Stooges of CHT.
Commonsense , Did you know that Roger has a "Roommate"?
They split the bills so they can afford the small apt.
Roger did not have a say in who would be his "roommate" , he was "assigned" the room with Roger.
His, this is so freaking sad.
I am free to go anywhere I want to go by myself.
So you CHOOSE to sit here 20+ hours per day, seven days/week.
That's mental illness DEFINED, alky.
"I am free to go anywhere I want to go by myself"
So you have gone to Bonney Lake, Washington, like you said you were going to , to buy a home for North of $559,000?
Odd that CHT move to that state then you said you were.
Our problem is whiteness
Although the United States was born of a revolution, one common view maintains that the Constitution tamed our rebellious impulse and launched a distinctly nonrevolutionary political experiment. But throughout American history, an important strand of conservatism has repeatedly championed rebellions—or what are better understood as counterrevolutions.
They emerge like clockwork: Each time political minorities advocate for and achieve greater equality, conservatives rebel, trying to force a reinstatement of the status quo.
The term counterrevolution is significant not only because conservatives have regularly employed it, but also because it highlights their own agency, something they often seek to conceal. In order to portray their actions as defensive rather than aggressive, conservatives tend to depict themselves as acted upon and besieged. As William F. Buckley wrote in the National Review’s mission statement in 1955, conservatism “stands athwart history, yelling Stop.” Here the agent is history; conservatives are merely making a reply. But such rhetorical gestures discount what any close look at these movements makes clear: Conservatives have done much more than yell. They have fought against equality vigorously, often violently.
Three historical moments—the revolt against post–Civil War Reconstruction, the mid-century fight against civil rights, and the modern Tea Party and Trump movements—stand out as perfect examples of the counterrevolutionary dynamic. They share certain broad themes: a hostility to racial equality, the invocation of apocalyptic rhetoric—that America is “under siege,” as President Donald Trump told the crowd on January 6 prior to the Capitol insurrection—and a deep distrust of democracy.
The rest of this very good essay provides historical examples to elucidate each point.
In other words, it’s incredible (but not really) just how the election of Barack Obama radicalized whites in this nation.
white backlash, whiteness
“Inflation at the wholesale level rose 8.6% last month from a year earlier, matching September’s record annual gain and offering more evidence that inflationary pressures are not yet easing,” the AP reports.
And it all started with Biden killing the Keystone XL pipeline and the closing of federal lands oil exploration and shutting oil production in Anwar.
Now he wants to shut down the Line 5 pipeline from Canada to Michigan creating artificial shortages in Michigan, Ohio, and Illinois at a time when gasoline prices are skyrocketing.
I guess Biden is bound and determine to turn the Midwest permanently red.
If you think escaping inflation by not driving or driving an electric car you got another think coming. Fuel and oil prices are a cost component in everything produced, and/or transported. When Oil future go up, inflation occurs.
Biden Policies have failed.
He can not deliver , 10 months of pure policy carnage .
Throwing in the towel.
The Clearest Sign Yet That Dems Are Already 'Waving the White Flag in Florida
Last week, Matt highlighted a Politico report on Florida Democrats who are beginning to realize their chances of defeating Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has officially announced his reelection campaign, are slim to none. But the clearest sign yet that Democrats have already raised the white flag of surrender came after a separate Politico report indicating the Democratic Governors Association “has no plans to give significant financial help to Florida Democrats” in their efforts to take out the popular and successful Republican governor.
Guess Florida is officially going to red from purple.

that won't be "unexpected"
The medical examiner who performed the autopsies of both of the men Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Aug. 25, 2020, testified that the first man Rittenhouse shot may have fallen forward due to being shot by the defendant himself — not because he was trying to attack the defendant.
The testimony by Dr. Doug Kelley, a forensic pathologist, seemed to have been designed by prosecutors to refute claims by several witnesses that Rittenhouse killed Joseph Rosenbaum specifically because Rosenbaum was lunging toward or stepping toward the defendant.
Assistant District Attorney James Kraus asked Kelley if a bullet injury to the groin and hip may have caused Rosenbaum “fall forward” or “move forward or move down in a downward position.”

Kelley said it was “possible” that the first bullet Rittenhouse fired caused a “very complex fracture involving the right side of the pelvis which may make the pelvis and the right leg more unstable.” Rosenbaum, unable to support himself, then may have fallen forward — landing him in the position where Rittenhouse fired what Kraus called a “kill shot.”
Kelley said that while autopsies generally cannot ascertain the order in which gunshots are fired, the Rittenhouse case was different because video of the shooting aided his analysis.
“I can see that he’s upright when the first shot is heard,” Kelley said while re-watching videos of the shooting in court.

The “possibility” — to use Kelley’s term — that Rittenhouse’s first bullet caused Rosenbaum to fall forward appeared designed to cast doubt on the testimony of earlier witnesses who suggested Rittenhouse fired when Rosenbaum lunged toward Rittenhouse. Prosecutors have long suggested Rosenbaum may have fallen rather than “lunged.” For instance, Richie McGinniss, a video director for the conservative website The Daily Caller, testified that Rosenbaum fell, lunged, or moved toward Rittenhouse and that the defendant fired in reaction to the movement. Kelley’s analysis suggested that Rittenhouse fired earlier than McGinnis perceived.
Bidenomics suck
