The verdict yesterday didn't come as much of a surprise to those of us who had been paying even scant attention to the Rittenhouse trial in Kenosha, Wisconsin. For the past month the general consensus of opinion had been that the murderous little thug would end up walking. I, myself, never dreamed that he would be found not guilty on all four charges, My assumption was that they would convict him on at least one - just for show, you understand. The reason for the almost universal pessimism of so many people was because of the judge, Bruce Schroeder, an overbearing putz whose cell phone ring tone was "I'm Glad to be an American", the theme song of all of the Donald Trump's rallies. It was obvious to me that duh judge has spent the last several weeks auditioning for a potential talk show on Fox Nooooz, Newsmax, or one of the other conservative propaganda outlets. Last night, the right wing SCREAM MACHINE was beside itself in joy and ecstasy. Kyle is the new golden boy of America's fascist crazies.
Last night in Kenosha there were no riots, no tangible outrage. Perhaps it was exhaustion.
Just in case it needs to be explained to you, what happened yesterday inside that Kenosha courtroom set a precedent that is dangerous and lethal on too many levels to adequately catalogue. I imagine that, somewhere out there in the basements of their mother's homes, are a whole boatload of Kyle wannabees who were emboldened by yesterday's verdict. I do hope I am wrong on this point, but I don't think that I am. America has become the sort of place that our worst nightmares never dared to imagine. When a babbling, incompetent halfwit like George W. Bush starts to look in hindsight like Theodore Roosevelt, you know your country is in one hell of a fix. Aren't these interesting times?
These are the darkest days I've witnessed in my life. It's so depressing being a citizen of Idiot Nation that it defies definition. I may be depressed, but at least I'm not bored - far from it.

White "culture" strikes again:
An unintentional gun discharge in the Atlanta airport caused mass panic today among passengers
who thought there was an active shooter.
In 2014, Georgia lawmakers passed a NRA-supported “guns everywhere” law allowing loaded guns inside airports.

Unaccountable militarized police with qualified immunity; That's a recipe for disaster.
I wonder if the Kenosha Police Department has insurance? Or will the citizens be on the hook?
Semi-automatic weapons everywhere. What could go wrong with that? Now we know.

Sore Loser Trump was the “victim”. FOX covid mandate good, Biden mandate bad.
‘Typical Bullsh*t’: Fox News Host Melts Down When Mediaite Asks About Fox’s Vaccine Policy and Whether Trump Lost in 2020
Fox News host Pete Hegseth was my guest on this week’s episode of The Interview.
Mediaite: I should note that you did not answer his question as to whether Trump lost the 2020 election. What is your answer for that?
Hegseth: I’m not interested in answering your question, either. We’ll see what happens. Look what happened in 2021. We’ll see what happens. It’s not my job to sit out — unlike every other anchor of every other network, to immediately preach my view of what has happened and what ought happen. People are smart. People are people gathering information for themselves.
Mediaite: It’s been a year now since 2020. We know who won and who lost.
Hegseth: We don’t have to get into it. But no one can tell me that what happened leading up to 2020, the treatment of then-President Trump was at all fair.
Mediaite: There was a vaccine or test requirement at the Patriot Awards, which is very similar to the policy at Fox News. Do you have an issue with Fox News having a policy like that, which is effectively the same as Biden’s vaccine mandate for big businesses?
Hegseth: You’re not mandated to get the vaccine because you can get a test. I’m not in charge of it. I don’t make the calls, but either you — you have the option to get a test, so it’s not actually a complete vaccine mandate, and that’s fine. I mean, so it’s not my call. So I’m grateful for the people that provide us this opportunity and the show went off without a hitch.
Mediaite: Right. But Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate for big businesses has been the subject of criticism, and that’s even less stringent than the one at Fox News, right? It requires weekly testing as opposed to daily testing. So I’m curious as to why you have an issue with the Joe Biden vaccine mandate, but no problem with the one at Fox News.
Hegseth: What do you want me to say? I mean, ultimately, companies have prerogatives. What the government shouldn’t be doing is telling them what to do. The government shouldn’t be telling them what to do. Every company has its own policies and I’m beyond grateful for the opportunity to work at Fox News Channel

Vern still won't admit Trump lost.
Trump tweeted out, “When the looting starts , the shooting starts” .
Trump and his party are fascist thugs who promote stochastic terrorism.
Stochastic Terrorism: the public demonization of a person or group resulting in the incitement of a violent act,which is statistically probable but whose specifics cannot be predicted
"Stop the steal" and "fight like hell" were the rallying cries for Trump's violent coup.
Their Leader recently declared, “Slobs and Radical Left maniacs at the View” are the “Communists” Meghan McCain should fight.
And at the radical Turning Point rally:
“Like it or not, we are becoming a communist country. That’s what’s happening...The radical left democrat communist party".
Latest examples:
Gosar: Propagating murder fantasies of killing AOC and Biden
Madison Cawthorn: “Be armed. Be dangerous.”
People are getting killed because of these asshole thugs inciting violence.
Without even looking I KNEW that Sybil would defend the little puke.
IT'S NOT SELF DEFENSE IF HE DELIBERATELY PUT HIMSELF IN THAT POSITION.
If it was so dangerous out there, where were the POLICE that you fascists keep defending?
I cannot wait until Kyle Rittenhouse sues Rep. Ayanna Pressley, Joe Biden, MSNBC, CNN and Ilhan Omar for defamation – and wins. If you think Nick Sandmann was victorious, just wait.
"IT'S NOT SELF DEFENSE IF HE DELIBERATELY PUT HIMSELF IN THAT POSITION." Cite law providing for that claim. Fact is jury of 12 disagree with you. Get over it.
Hearing Mofart whine just makes my day.
Vern,
The OJ jury disagreed with the facts too. Best justice money can buy. Nobody got sued for saying he's a murderer. HE got sued, as every cold-blooded killer who escapes justice should be.
And this was not the first white punk to get away with murder.
Your desperate attempt to equate incitement of violence is pathetic.
Charlottesville showed how murderous the radical Right are. Not "very fine people" at all, like your Fuhrer said.
Did Trump incite an insurrection? A bi-partisan majority say he did.
Name a Democratic presidential candidate who did this.
Did Trump lose a fair election? Yes, or no.
How many Republicans were killed by confrontation? Confrontation is disagreement, not violence.
Bachmann suggested slitting wrists to block Obamacare, but go ahead, blame the Black guy. We expect that from racists.
"What we have to do today is make a covenant, to slit our wrists, be blood brothers on this thing. This will not pass. We will do whatever it takes to make sure this doesn't pass."
I also fully support Republicans' right to suicide. That is not a threat of violence, nor does it incite others to do it.
Why didn't you slit your wrists in solidarity with Bachmann, Vern? Maybe you could have blocked Obamacare.
Feel free to try it to block BBB.
How can Joe Biden be “angry and concerned” about a verdict from a trial he admitted he haven’t even watched?
Hearing Dave rant, spew his hate, deflect and whine makes my day. Keep it up Dave.
How dare you call the left Commies.....
Jessie Jackson leading BLM activists in Chicago they “need Communism” to save them. 🤦🏻♀️ pic.twitter.com/LUzQkTl86c
Sybil still can't defend the fact that Rittenhouse had no business being where he was, with a gun he was not legal to carry, and ended up being the ONLY person to shoot anyone...
One can be upset over something they didn't actually watch in real time.
Notice how sybil keeps using the word "whine" proving he has no thoughts of his own?
jessie Jackson? really?
This kid is on his way to fame and fortune, three GOP senators are offering him internships. One of them is Gosar !
I cannot understand how these people are thinking. If there is a break in and someone shoots them that is fine but when you go looking for trouble and shoot people that is very different.
Woody,
They're NOT thinking. It's all about hate. And their manufactured resentment, anger, demonization, scapegoating and lies. The radical Right operates by manipulating the emotions of their cult of true believers.
As JTF demonstrates, nobody is to be hated more than "commies", so they always play their red card. This is what they tag onto Dems, libs, progressives, even moderates who question their Leader and Party. Everyone outside the cult will be called a commie or worse.
"Commies" have always been their enemies. They same is true with all Nazis, racists and fascists. Disagree with them and you're a commie. Just like that.
No thinking required.
The stochastic terrorism from their Fuhrer shows exactly how fascist they are.
“Like it or not, we are becoming a communist country. That’s what’s happening...The radical left democrat communist party".
Given unchecked power, they would arrive at their "final solution" for us "commies". We've seen this all before.
Former Republican Steve Schmidt tweeted:

An 18 year old vigilante killer has become a cultural icon for the MAGA right. A Holocaust denier Congressman denounced by his family has been embraced by all but two of his GOP colleagues for his murderous fantasies about a Member of Congress.
A tide of extremism has risen from the ashes of a failed American coup. The extremism in our country is growing and metastasizing. Its danger should not be underestimated. It cannot be ignored and wished away.
The old boundaries have collapsed and they will not return. The American people will have to decide if we are ready to abandon the American experiment and bury the dream of a just society built on the noble idea that at long last we can be a nation of equality and justice for all people, that life liberty and the pursuit of happiness applies to all Americans. Perspective can be forged by many factors from experience to geography, but I think time is its most powerful shaper.
What will this moment and the next years look like a generation from now? Will what happens next seem perfectly obvious in retrospect? What strikes me is how much more extreme our broken politics has gotten since the Trump Coup and there is an absolute black hole of nothingness where there should be focus and passion around defending American democracy and a birthright of freedom that remains the envy of people all over the world.
Desmond Tutu was Once asked whether evil was more powerful than good. He said no but quipped that it was better organized. It seems a prescient comment in this moment of American radicalism. The question is how far the American people will let this all go.
Democracy won’t be lost in America by force, invasion or coup. It will be lost in elections at the hands of the American people who will decide the fate of the gift given us all through sacrifices by women and men of all races, creeds and faith that beggar imagination. The American people will decide until the power to do so is given away to a faction who thereafter will make the decisions for us all and the first one they will make is that the debate between us is over.
Vern,
Did Trump lose to Biden in a fair election?
.....
What's that sound? Crickets?
There's your fascist cult.
Rottenhouse's mommie could of been an extra on one certain episode of the Twilight Zone and wouldn't of needed any extra makeup.
Well Dave I always like to look at the big picture so I will not blow this incident out of proportion.
Tom never goes beyond the borders of the U.S. It is like foreign policy does not exist here but some of the most important issues of our time are happening off shore.
The Biden admin is turning out to be the most dangerous warmongering admin in history.
Bush and Obama started several wars but Biden is looking to go to war with China and Russia at the same time, this could end in an extinction event.
Former West Virginia state senator Richard Ojeda compared Black Lives Matter protesters to animals in a zoo and is going to get away with it because he doesn’t like Kyle Rittenhouse. Where is the leftist out cry, the screaming for his head? Oh I forgot, he's a Democrat, they get a free pass on racist thing they say.
Dave, I never said it wasn't a fair election, so stop with your whiny, stupid sophomoric leftist questions. Geez, what a idiot.
Woody,
"Biden is looking to go to war with China and Russia at the same time,"
Well, that would be horrifying. Could you elaborate on how you discerned his intentions?
Trump certainly fueled a civil war here, and that is absolutely evident.
Vern,
You never said it WAS a fair election and Trump lost, have you?
All you have said is, Biden is president and Trump is not. How do you really feel?
"Richard Ojeda compared Black Lives Matter protesters to animals in a zoo"
Really?
No evidence or quote cited. It sounds more like a comparison YOU would make.
Here's something he DID say.
https://twitter.com/ojeda4america/status/1294061136082612226?lang=en
"Read it slowly and let it sink in! Black Lives Matter!!!!!"
Why does Black Lives Matter have to answer for looters..Does the NRA have to answer for school shootings?"
And:
https://twitter.com/Ojeda4America/status/1461811127789264904
"Saw a great meme. Kyle Rittenhouse is the equivalent of someone jumping in the lions den at the zoo and then shooting the animals in self defense. He had no reason to be in Kenosha that day. No reason at all."
Who's the idiot? Who's the racist? Who's the liar?
“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” ~ Maya Angelou
"What a Idiot".
LOL. Oh...the irony.
And what you are going on about concerning Richard Ojeda no one knows. The former senator compared Rittenhouse to "Daniel in the lion's den".
Way to take something intelligent and clever and turn it into something RACIST to make yourself feel better.
I have to say Dave it is a little scary that someone like you that is involved in politics is not aware that the U.S. is at the greatest risk of nuclear war in our history.
China is going all out, building hundreds of new silos to counter the U.S. Russia has developed and surpassed the U.S. in all sorts of innovated nuclear weapons which we are a decade behind.
Obama started this with his Pivot to Asia and the regime change in Ukraine. Trump escalated the cold war and Biden is bringing the provocations to really insane levels.
I will send you a few links but it sounds like you are 10 years behind in international politics.
Careful guys, or Dave will call YOU pedophiles.
What do you get out of discussing anything with the sick bastard?
The comment threads on this blog have been turned to shit by Dave. It's one of the few blogs left that will even let him post his hate filled comments.
Jerry, I always said that this blog needed another Conservative besides Chuck. I look forward to hearing what you have to say.
Woody,
Thank you for being willing to share your information.
I'm still waiting for Jerry to do so after he lectured me for being wrong. All I got was an accusation that I lied.
It would seem Russia and China are doing their share of sabre rattling by those massive weapons programs. China is getting bolder in their threats and confrontations with Taiwan as well.
Insanity is at play both domestically and in foreign relations. Absent all out war, radical Right terrorism is the most direct threat.
Jerry,
Vern baited you, and he lied about my using "no sources".
Go look at the evidence for yourself:
https://draft.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29154051&postID=5515387498647057498
Dave continues to lie. He makes up his facts. Just re-read his posts here and on other blogs for his "facts". No sources, just his hate filled personality expressing it's self. Typical of today's "progressive".
Here are some samples of what other blogs owners have had to say about Dave..."
Taking Vern's bait and joining his chorus of hate for me does little to elevate your credibility.
Chill. Just chill, Jerry. Keep my name out of your mouth, and I'll do the same for you.
Persist, and it's ALL on YOU.
Got it?
I would not classify myself as a conservative. I am a moderate liberal who does not swallow garbage like Hitler comparisons, or being lied about what I said. And I don't go along with the militant liberal positions spouted today. The left is unreasonable as the right is worshiping Trump and his right wing garbage. I have been called sick and banned from liberal blogs because I would not vote for a Democrat that had 23 criminal convictions against him. Dave has been calling me a liar for months now, which is totally untrue and now he calls me a pedophile. Left hate is alive and well and they attack anyone who doesn't tow their leftist line.
Is laughing at the Rev Jessie Jackson racist? Ask Mofart cause he did.
Meanwhile Progressives, Socialist Democrats are exposing their true selves, there true face and it's not the face of America.
Protesters in opposition of the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict chanted for a “communist revolution” on the streets of Chicago Saturday.
Political activist and Baptist pastor Rev. Jesse Jackson and the Rainbow PUSH coalition led the march throughout the city with calls for the Department of Justice to investigate the verdict, according to CBS Chicago.
“The only solution is communist revolution,” the crowd is heard chanting.
“That’s right, we need communism. That’s what we need. We need that! We need that, sister, we need that very much,” a female demonstrator said.

Will any liberal, democrat, socialist democrat, progressive, disavowal the chants and statements as posted here?
Crickets.

Jerry is right, "Left hate is alive and well and they attack anyone who doesn't tow their leftist line." I've been saying the same thing for years.
Left hate is alive and well and they attack anyone who doesn't tow their leftist line.
I have spent plenty of time on Conservative sites and the above is true for them also.
Maybe we can do better Here.
The American Farm Bureau has some bad news for American families as they go out to shop for Thanksgiving dinner.
The average cost of a holiday dinner has climbed 14 percent from last year. That’s the largest increase in 31 years.
Thank Joe or you could blame Trump.
Woodenman,
Do you think it is hateful to post quotes, poll figures or crime stats?
President Biden has lost more public support during his first several months in office than any U.S. president since World War II, per Gallup.
Last week, Biden’s approval rating fell to a new low of 41 percent approve, 53 percent disapprove, according to an ABC News-Washington Post poll. Republicans now also hold a 10-point lead in the generic congressional vote — the biggest lead ever recorded for the GOP in the 40-year history of this question being asked, including ahead of the GOP waves in 2014, 2010 and 1994.
Chuck, I am never offended by the truth.
Jerry,
Your sense of delusional victimization rivals Vern's.
You called me a liar without citing or quoting of the "lie". You refused to support your accusation with evidence.
You told me I was wrong about a historical fact, and REFUSED to grant my repeated and polite requests for the correct information.
Then you got angry with me.
Did I call you a pedophile? No.
I said that I CAN if I had the same disregard for the facts and evidence that you do in your false accusations.
Quoted evidence:
https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29154051&postID=5515387498647057498
Using the identical "evidence", or lack thereof, presented by my accusers, I can say, "Jerry and Vern are partners in a pedophile ring".
Gee, how could we ever know they are not pedophiles?
Better play it safe and assume they are partners in a pedophile ring.
See? I can play your game.
You utterly missed the point of my hypothetical example of a baseless accusation, and you believed it was a real accusation.
You're not a pedophile and I'm not saying you are. I'm showing you what unsupported accusations look like.
You're saying I "twist words", yet you cannot show an example.
This behavior would normally be insulting, but I seriously think you have some emotional issues that make it FEEL like you are being attacked or victimized.
This is what can happen if you take Vern's bait. And you did just that.
HE brought me up, and YOU piled on. Ironically, as the person falsely accused and attacked personally, I'm the actual victim here.
As for your unsupported false accusations, STUFF IT!
If you want to play like Vern, go ahead.
Join him in accusing me of being a "racist commie".
That should earn you some respect, amirite?
How about you and Vern have at me at YOUR blog, instead of dumping your sewage here?
I'll ask you once again. Are we done with that crap here?
White nationalist/fascist "Victimization 101".
Greene, Boebert and the Auschwitz Memorial Museum
Marjorie Taylor Greene last May: "You know, we can look back in a time in history where people were told to wear a gold star and they were definitely treated like second-class citizens, so much so that they were put in trains and taken to gas chambers in Nazi Germany. And this is exactly the type of abuse that Nancy Pelosi is talking about."
"Vaccinated employees get a vaccination logo just like the Nazi's forced Jewish people to wear a gold star.”
5-25-21
The Auschwitz Birkenau Memorial and State Museum on Tuesday condemned Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene after she likened a grocery store's policy of identifying vaccinated employees to Jews being forced to wear yellow stars in Nazi Germany.
"The instrumentalization of the tragedy of Jews who suffered, were humiliated, marked with a yellow star, isolated in ghettos & murdered during the Holocaust, in a debate on different systems that aim at protecting public health is a sad symptom of moral and intellectual decline,"

Lauren Boebert on July 8, 2021: “Biden has deployed his Needle Nazis to Mesa County. The people of my district are more than smart enough to make their own decisions about the experimental vaccine and don’t need coercion by federal agents. Did I wake up in Communist China?”
Auschwitz Memorial: Instrumentalization of the tragedy of all people who between 1933-45 suffered, were humiliated, tortured & murdered by the hateful totalitarian regime of Nazi Germany to argue against vaccination that saves human lives is a sad symptom of moral and intellectual decline.

I won't allow you to post your garbage on my blog as many others will not either. Apparently Tom is OK with your garbage. So stay here. It's one of the few blogs that will post your garbage. By the way, your version of what happened is complete garbage and I have answered your questions you just don't accept those answers and instead throw despicable insults. Go ahead and continue to prove to everyone what a scumbag you are. You keep coming back with your lies. You won't leave it alone. Your hate has become an obsession. I'm done talking with you, so say whatever you want about me you prick.
Jerry,
"Many others"...Right, Jerry.
And I'm sorry, but to be completely honest, I can't quite be 100% sure you're not a pedophile. I'll have to trust you are not a pedophile, because I have seen no evidence or indication of your pedophilia.
Is this reasonable?
Feel free to say the same about me, or say I'm "twisting words", if it makes you feel better. You can even join Vern in calling me a "racist commie", as long as it makes you FEEL good, Jerry. It won't reduce your anger, though.
Our failure to communicate, and your descent into anger and unfounded accusations leave an impression of your emotional issues.
I hope you can feel better by paying no attention to me. Don't let Vern trigger you. He will always try to pull your strings and bring you into his hate and accusation game. That's the kind of person he is. You're better than that, Jerry.
Thank you for agreeing we're done.
CBS News: 67% Of Americans Disapprove Of Biden’s Handling Of Rising Prices…
The truth...Ouch.
Reality: 67% Of Americans have no idea why prices are rising and want to blame Biden.
Nice try Dave. Why don't you tell us why prices under Biden are rising and why it's not his fault?
To paraphrase Dave's 1st post on this thread, "white "culture" strikes again":
Black "Culture" strikes again...WISCONSIN—Sunday afternoon, 5 dead and dozens injured after an SUV plowed into a crowd at the Waukesha Christmas Parade. Darrell Edward Brooks, Jr sped through the street running over multiple people in his red SUV, injuring at least 40 people.
Police arrested Brooks, Jr and is publicly referring to him as a “Person of Interest”.
Brooks has a long list of felony and misdemeanor criminal activity as recent as November 19, 2021 including Bail Jumping, recklessly endangering safety, domestic abuse, a registered sex offender and resisting an officer who was arrested several weeks ago for multiple felonies and misdemeanors, including domestic abuse, resisting or obstructing an officer, jumping bail, disorderly conduct, and battery, according to Wisconsin Circuit Court records.
He has multiple social media posts promoting anti-white racism, anti-police as well as Black Lives Matter and denouncing 17 year old Kyle Rittenhouse trial.
Idiots don't understand the pandemic's effects are the major reason. Demand has risen faster than supply.
Biden didn't raise any prices, did he?
Show your evidence if you think he did.
Sorry Dave, been down this road with you before, Biden gets the blame and the credit for the economy while he is in office. 67% of Americans get it, 33% of Americans are idiots.
67% of Americans agree with Carl Carlson CEO & Founder of Carlson Financial three reasons for the increase in inflation.
Carlson said those are, increase in money supply or M1, supply chain disruption, and demand.
The government has been printing more money and adding it to the supply of money that is already in the country. Usually, if the government is printing new money, at the same time they are taking old worn out money out of circulation. But for 2020 and 2021, that has not been the case. The government has been printing new money and just spending it, or using it to purchase bonds from ourselves. There is a thing called price equilibrium which means when money supply increases, prices have to rise. It doesn’t always happen immediately though. Since 2020 the government has more than doubled the money supply, Carlson said.
When it comes to the second reason, supply chain disruption Carlson said a lot of that is based on COVID-19 pandemic issues and the shortage of labor.
What Biden could do to stop the increase in inflation? Carlson said push back on the government increasing the supply of money into the economy. Stop the crazy spending like what we are seeing in the Biden economic plans. Stop printing money. Biden could slow down the rate of inflation if he stopped spending, stopped increasing the money supply. But he won't because he is afraid of the radical far left in his party.
Vern,
Still waiting for you to acknowledge Trump lost a fair election to Biden.
Have it your way. Trump is responsible for covid and the deaths of 750,000 Americans. Trump is responsible for the greatest loss of jobs in living memory. Trump is responsible for domestic terrorism and a coup.
As it is, Biden did not raise any prices.
Biden hasn't done any "crazy spending", so that theory is shot full of holes.
Carlson agrees with my point:
"When it comes to the second reason, supply chain disruption Carlson said a lot of that is based on COVID-19 pandemic issues and the shortage of labor."
Thank you for that.
I can buy regular gas in the PNW for $3.45/gallon. Definitely going down after a short spike.
Biden gets the credit from me.
Dave,
Where have I said Biden didn't win in a fair election? In the meanwhile,
Drop Dead. Please.

Brooks allegedly murdered at least five people with four dozen others injured. Why? Because “the system” that leftists think is TOO HARSH put him back on the streets two days after posting a small bail for intentionally hitting someone with his vehicle.
This is a wake-up call to everyone on the left. The policies you embrace to virtue signal against systemic racism are putting lives in danger across the nation. What happened in Waukesha was avoidable with a little common sense in recognizing a violent criminal for what he is.
According to Milwaukee County District Attorney John T. Chisholm (Democrat), the suspect should never have been afforded the opportunity for release on such a low bond amount. Brooks posted bail on Nov. 11, just ten days before the mass casualty incident.
I guarantee you that Brooks’ low bond is the result of bleeding heart liberals who want to see less blacks and minorities in prison. So they went easy on him and the result is an act of domestic terrorism that shocked the nation.
After all, this is what he was touting in 2018:
An ADA on pre-trial detention reform: "We have really made a commitment to not keeping individuals held unnecessarily on cash bail in the Milwaukee County Jail."
— John Chisholm
Democrat
I didn't know the gas station where it all started and where Kyle stayed up until they started attacking him, is owned by his grandparents. They came on to his property to attack him.
I didn't know that Kyle put out a dumpster fire that was being rolled down to a gas station to blow up, with people all around.
I didn't know that the Police were told to stand down as businesses were destroyed.
I didn't know that Kyles Dad, Grandma and Friends all lived in Kenosha, 20 minutes from where he resided with his Mom part time in Illinois.
I didn't know that someone knocked Rittenhouse down twice and then attempted to kick him with lethal force to the head.
I didn't know that Huber had hit him in the head 2x with a skateboard.
I didn't know Gaige Grosskreutz, aimed his gun at Kyle first, as he admitted on the stand.
I also didn't know that in the State of Wisconsin, it is legal for Kyle to have a gun, even at 17 (which was why the gun charge was dismissed).
I didn't know that Kyle did not cross state lines with a gun he wasn't supposed to have. The rightful gun owner did, as he was legally permitted to do.
I also didn't realize that Rosenbaum was a 5 time convicted child rapist and that Huber was a 2 time convicted woman beater. I didn't know that Grosskreutz was a convicted Burglar with an assault on his record also.
Until I watched the trial on TV I didn't know this, did you?
Chuck, that was a good list supporting your opinion. I still think it is not a good idea for 17 year old's to be carrying high powered weapons but it seems like the not guilty verdict is not as bad as it appeared to me.
Just Musing,
When will Vern give Biden credit for falling gas prices? Never.
Vern STILL can't say Biden beat Trump in a fair election. Watch him squirm out of it, and then get angry.
He's STILL loyal to the man who PRAISED his terrorist thugs for his attempted coup. He won't denounce Dear Leader for that either. He's a terrorist sympathizer.
That's all we need to know about him and his "values".
A racist liar would also call the Black man's crime "domestic terrorism". (Vern's terrified of Blacks.)
Vern accusing a Black criminal of being a "domestic terrorist" is a deflection from HIS support of a domestic terrorist. (Trump refused to order his mob to desist.)
Does Vern hate Blacks so much he wants them all held without bond, no matter the charge? Seems so.
Vern says it was "domestic terrorism". That would be a racist lie.
The Waukesha police chief Thompson said there was no sign the event was an act of domestic terrorism.
https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/crime/2021/11/22/suspect-waukesha-parade-incident-identified-darrell-brooks-jr/8717524002/
Thompson said Monday that Brooks was involved in a domestic disturbance just prior to the parade attack. Police were called to that disturbance and arrived minutes after Brooks had left, he said.
Brooks drove through barricades and a squad car blocking off the parade route, Thompson said. The chief clarified that the incident at the Christmas parade was intentional but was not a terrorist attack and did not occur during a police pursuit.
Looks like Vern got caught in another lie. Brooks had no political agenda.
And this "bleeding heart liberal" says he should not have been given low bail considering his number of violent crimes. Vern hates liberals too. He called me a "racist commie".
Trump's coup was domestic terrorism. And Vern supports his terrorist leader. Mighty white of him.
Merriam Webster- Terrorism: the unlawful use or threat of violence especially against the state or the public as a politically motivated means of attack or coercion
(FBI) Domestic terrorism: Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature.
I guarantee you Vern's a liar. And a bigot.
Dave: Biden put money in your pocket, mine, and JTF's. I guess he can give it back.
Woodenman, I agree it's not a good idea for a 17 year old to enter a war zone, but he broke no laws in doing so.
Jerry was correct about Dave, he's just a one trick pony. Everything is political, everything is racism. Looks like I caught Dave in another lie, "Looks like Vern got caught in another lie. Brooks had no political agenda." Show me were I said he did?
But it is interesting that Dave defends and supports Brooks, speaks volumes.
Dave the liar.
He supports THE Dr. Jackson and his cult's push for Communism. But he claims to not be a commie. LMAO...I'd like him to explain how his beliefs are different than those of the Communist Party of the USA...bet he can't. Instead he will roll out his racist, fascist attacks while demanding those he hates answer him...like a spoiled privileged brat that he is.
Grow up Dave, better still grow a set.
Jerry is right about you.
Is it any wonder that Dave has been banned from other blogs?
Milwaukee County DA admits it was a mistake
to grant $1,000 bail to SUV-driving felon
days before he smashed into Xmas parade:
Darrell Brooks was freed after running
over mother of his child and is now charged
with homicide after killing five
'This is insane': AOC sparks fury by demanding
reform of NYC's 'excessive' bail laws
- a day after Waukesha SUV driver out
on $1K bond killed five: Rep. Tlaib is
then forced to defend bill she endorsed
that would close ALL federal jails
It seems Lyin' "domestic terrorism" Vern can't get me out of his head.
No such thing as white radical Right domestic terrorism to a racist, is there?
Say, Vern. Did Trump lose to Biden in a fair election?
Maybe the "SUV driving felon" should have used an AR-15 to kill his victims. Then instead of murder charges, he could be a hero to the right and get a show on Fox Entertainment.
Woody, Sybil defends people like Kyle Rittenhouse because he supports racism. He supports the attempted coup jan 6.
Sybil still won;t admit trump lost the election, won;t admit that he's vaccinated, won't answer the simplest of questions, and is STILL waiting for JFK Jr. to turn up and tell us trump is still president. LOL
Also, notice how Sybil is calling Liberals a "cult" now?
More proof that he has no thoughts of his own.
Darrell Brooks Belongs to Black Supremacist Sect of Islam Called ‘The Five Percent Nation’, He Committed Vehicular Jihad...
Darrell Brooks is a supporter of The Five Percent Nation, otherwise known as the Nation of Gods and Earths (NGE or NOGE), a sub-sect of Nation of Islam (NOI).
The Five Percent Nation is a black nationalist movement influenced by Islam. Members of the group call themselves “Allah’s Five Percenters”. The Fiver Percent Nation preaches black supremacy and teaches that black people are the original inhabitants of planet earth, and that the white man is an evil devil.
The term “Five Percenter” comes from the “five percent” who are described in Nation of Islam in their “Lost-Found Muslim Leason No.2"
Darrell Brooks’s social media posts, particularly one of his Twitter posts from October 2015, prove that he was a black supremacist and a supporter of Malcom X, who was also a Muslim, and a spokesman for the Nation of Islam.
The Five Percent Nation doesn’t believe in a God, but they instead believe that the “Asiatic Blackman” is God, and that his name is “Allah”, the Arabic word for God.
This aligns with Darrell Brook’s social media posts which are inherently anti- white and anti- established religion. In one of his Facebook posts that you can’t see anymore because Facebook has decided to participate in this coverup by deleting Darrell Brooks’s account, he said, “religion is White Supremacy”.
Murdered 6 people.
I know about the 5 percenters, when I was 22 I was living in a low income project in Brooklyn and they formed a huge gang there. They were shooting people left and right and one day about 75 of them came to the build I lived at, I guess to collect another member.
They started calling me a White Devil and I was lucky to get out of there with out real trouble happening.
I moved out shortly after that.
This blog should be renamed to THE DUBYA & JTF SHIT SHOW.
FFS people, stay on topic.
Pappyz,
Thank you.
Let's see how soon someone deflects, and then how often.
A Black Lives Matter activist in Wisconsin told followers the Waukesha Christmas parade attack is the start of a “revolution.”
Vaun Mayes, a well-known activist in Milwaukee, made the comments during a Facebook Live stream Monday.
“It sounds possible that the revolution has started in Wisconsin. It started with this Christmas parade,” Mayes said.
Anyone else see this coming?
Thanks for sharing Woodenman, don't be surprised if you are asked for sources. LOL
Maybe darrell brooks will claim self defense
This comment has been removed by the author.
Pappyz,
Look how long it took Vern to deflect from the OP. Instantly.
Vern,
Vaun Mayes has ZERO political power or influence. But since he's Black...you do what you do, because you are what you are.
You can't say Trump lost a fair election to Biden and you're OK with all of this:
Insurrectionist Lauren Boebert tweeted, "Today is 1776" on the day of Trump's coup. She is still the darling of the radical Right.
Insurrectionist Mo Brooks: “Today is the day American patriots start taking down names and kicking ass.”
Insurrectionist Giuliani: "So -- let's have trial by combat."
Insurrectionist Steve Bannon 1/5/21:
“All hell is going to break loose tomorrow. It’s all converging, and now we’re on the point of attack tomorrow. And all I can say is: Strap in. You have made this happen, and tomorrow it’s game day.”
Insurrectionist Trump told his terrorists, "Fight like hell!" and "You're special. We love you", after their failed coup in storming the Capitol.
Anyone else see this coming?
All good, amirite, Vern?
Better deflect to some other Black guy nobody's heard about.
Students in Washington, DC were shocked to hear about this year’s Thanksgiving inflation, and said that Americans were better off under former President Donald Trump.
When asked, students said that American families were better off financially under Trump than under President Joe Biden, with one student claiming that even his “liberal” friends prefer Trump or Obama’s economy to Biden’s.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttUKgzni8-Q&t=5s
Self defense is not a crime, Rittenhouse was found not guilty, there Pappyz, I'm on topic, will your post be on topic?
Ax-Wielding Antifa Member Attacks GOP Senator's Office, Dems Give Him Money, FBI Returns Ax...Far-left miscreant Thomas Alexander Starks, 31, of Lisbon, North Dakota, pleaded guilty to destruction of government property last April. Starks brought an ax to Sen. John Hoeven’s office in Fargo on December 21, 2020, and smashed an intercom and glass door. The attack was captured on video.
Federal guidelines suggested Starks should spend 10–16 months in the hoosegow, but because he is a protected member of Antifa, he was sentenced to mere probation and ordered to pay $2,784 in restitution.
Keep in mind that there are people still in solitary confinement for taking non-violent selfies in the Capitol on January 6.
"Keep in mind that there are people still in solitary confinement for taking non-violent selfies in the Capitol on January 6."
Vern supports and minimizes Trump's coup.
No wonder he can never admit Trump lost to Biden in a fair election.
Rittenhouse is a thug who sucker-punched a girl. Now he's a hero to the radical Right.
Before anyone claims other wise, I agree with the outcome of the murder trial of Ahmaud Arbery . All three defendants found guilty, justice has been served. I agree with the 3 men were guilty.
Now, when will the people still in solitary confinement get their day in court for their actions on 1/6/21?
For the last f#cking time, where have I EVER say the election of 11/2020 was not fair?
Where is the proof of that claim? What is the source? Same proof, same source as the LIE about Rittenhouse sucker punching a girl. Just a figment of the sick twisted hate filled mind of Dave W.
Jerry and Darrell are right about Dave.
Just saying Vern STILL never admitted Trump lost to Biden in a fair election.
He squirms.
And he called me a liar with no evidence, as usual. Nasty man. Just like his Fuhrer.
Rottenhouse is another nasty person. The same ridiculous clogs on a guy that looks just like him would be an extremely unlikely coincidence.
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/kyle-rittenhouse-punch-woman-video/
Did Kyle Rittenhouse Punch a Woman in This Video?
While we can’t say definitively that this person is Rittenhouse, there is plenty of circumstantial evidence to support this claim.
Comparing visuals from the video and known photographs of Rittenhouse also seems to show that this is the same person.
The individuals who recorded this footage, as well as a number of social media users, did highlight some circumstantial evidence that the man in the video was indeed Rittenhouse. For instance, social media users pointed to a photograph of Rittenhouse holding a gun and wearing American flag clogs, the same shoes that can apparently be seen in the video:
Kenosha News reports:
At that point, the males filming — identified on Facebook as Reese Granville and Cj Wakefield, both of Kenosha — and several others jump out of their respective vehicles and run in.
Granville confirmed to The Journal Times the date and location of the fight. Videos on Facebook show that Wakefield also was at protests in Downtown Kenosha this past week. Both Granville and Wakefield have said, based on what they witnessed and recorded, that the person throwing punches in their videos is Rittenhouse.

He's a thug. And he went looking for trouble while armed. Like a loyal Trump thug, human life is secondary to property.
Yes or no, Vern. Did Trump lose a fair election to Biden.
None of your "Biden is president" squirming. That is NOT the question.
You are pro-Trump, so a non-answer tells us you are a believer of his Big Lie, pro-insurrection, and don't give a damn that he praised his terrorist thugs.
How is that any different from being a terrorist sympathizer?
It's like being a bin-Laden supporter who says he is against terrorism.
More squirming and avoiding the question is expected.
Jerry and Darrell are right about Dave.
Well it looks like the guy is a jerk, hitting girls is idiotic. The video proves that to me.
On to a more important topic as this one is used up.
This comment has been removed by the author.
Liars agree. Neither can prove their hateful accusations, of course.
JTF called me a "racist commie". Darrell says I'm a "fascist who hates America".
Hate and false accusations are the default for small minds and delicate feelings.
What is wrong with these people?
Besides being radical Right Trumpists who are OK with Dear Leader praising insurrectionist terrorist thugs.
Yes or no, Vern.
Did Trump lose to Biden in a fair election?
Afraid to answer, Vern?

Dave , I came here starting fresh. I hold no grudges and I do not want to get into feuds or trade insults for the next ten years.
I only want to debate the issues of the day with out rancor, maybe that is foolish thinking but I will give it a try.

Biden is warmongering us into a nuclear war with Russia. This started with Obama's regime change in Ukraine, continued under Trump and now is escalating dramatically under Biden.
Did Kyle Rittenhouse Punch a Woman in This Video?
We can’t say definitively that this person is Rittenhouse.
The video was clear, I do not care about anything other than the truth but many people cannot handle the truth.
Dave, I am not asking for you to be a door mat, just try to break the cycle to improve the ambiance.

BTW, when have I ever said the election wasn't FAIR? In a court of law, that's called leading the witness. Get over yourself.
Darrell, Rex and Jerry are correct about you.
Kyle Rittenhouse does not wear glasses.
Putting yourself in danger does not allow you to claim "self defense" how about some case law to support that claim?
Mofart, I REFUSE to answer one of your sophomoric, idiotic, low IQ questions until you can tell us what a BAD QUESTION is. You made the statement, anyone with half a brain should be able to explain what they meant by it. Woodenman was right about you.
GUILTY. Spark them up.
Vern still refuses to admit Trump lost to Biden in a fair election. His embrace of Trump's Big Lie puts him into the insurrectionist cult.

Mozart, I never babble, I take my politics seriously and consider myself a seasoned professional. I have been studying politics for 25 years and reading roughly 7000 articles a year.
Just because Zero Hedge is a Conservative site does not mean the articles is made up. They happen to discuss many issues that do not appear in Liberal sites.
You think something like CNN is the final word but I bet you have zero knowledge of what is happening around the world or in Ukraine or Taiwan.
Just because you are ignorant of a subject does not make you right.
Because Zero hedge has been found to be a batshit conspiracy site is every reason to disregard what they say.
I'm sure they DO discuss many things no one else is talking about, because they are made up.
And what is the conservative hardon with CNN? I don;t think I have watched it for more than a few minutes at a time in 20 years.
Just because you have found a semi polite way to call me stupid doesn't make me so. And it's not how much one reads, it's the quality of the material.
You are starting to sound like Sybil, and that is no place to be.
You did not even read the article because your mind is made up. I did not say you were stupid but you are uninformed and you dismiss my decades of study while you know nothing about international politics.
The U.S. has been on a killing spree for 20 years, are you aware of that?
Rottonhouse is thug. Why does Vern need to lie about him not wearing glasses?

Would Vern say the same if HIS daughter got punched by the punk?
Trump praises thugs, so Vern defends thugs. That tells us what they both are.
Speaking of racist thugs.
If local authorities in Georgia had their way, no one would have ever been charged for the murder of Ahmaud Arbery.
The original prosecutor called the murder "justifiable homicide", has been indicted for interfering in the arrest of the defendants.
It took weeks of protest before charges were even brought in the case, 74 days after Arbery was shot and killed in February 2020.
The evil racist defender demonized the victim with her "long, dirty toenails" crack. It's not hard to imagine she'd have said "filthy animal" if she thought she could get away with it.
At least there will be three less Trump/Republican voters
White nationalist racists still want to deny such systemic racism exists. They are banning the study and teaching of the history and effects of slavery and racism, calling it "Marxist CRT".
And they have no frickin' idea what Critical Race Theory even is. Just ban it.
Ignorance is strength. - Big Brother 1984
Dave , I read Zh because they have interesting articles but I was really disgusted with the forum as most people there defended the 3 white guys saying the black guy deserved to be shot because he was trying to steal the guys rifle !
He grabbed the rifle AFTER he was shot the first time and would have died even if they did not shoot him two more times. The lengths they go to avoid the fact that some white guys are murderers is amazing.
Woody,
Happy Thanksgiving.
Right. Talk about white privilege and entitlement.
"Self defense! That Black guy tried to take my shotgun from me after I shot him! I'M the VICTIM, here!"
Now the racists are saying the verdict proves the US is "not a racist country", ignoring the systemic racism that would have never brought them to trial.
All it proves is racism is real, and thanks to videos, more guilty verdicts are reached.
MAGAts would prefer to take us back to the good old days when nobody was charged for lynching or for the Tulsa Massacre.
I noticed Zero Hedge's Thanksgiving message. It's a turkey with a Gatling gun, sporting the "Let's Go Brandon" slogan.
Man. That's a LOT of hate. In fact, it's stochastic terrorism. It's way more than just a war on voter rights and democracy, armed violence is being brazenly pushed, and condoned, by the Republican Party.
How many more Americans will be slaughtered by radical Right domestic terrorists?
Trumpism's "gift" to America is escalating dishonesty, division, rampant racist hatred and fascistic demonization of any opposition.
I did not read the article for the same reason that I don;t drink out of the toilet.
ANd I am as informed as I need to be about Rittenhouse, and the entire "conservative" movement the last FIFTY years.
Yes, the US has had a fetish with guns for a long time. Guess who encourages and defends it? RACISTS who know that they are the political minority, know that their side cannot win a fair election, and wants to make it easier to "eliminate" certain people so they cannot vote.
FREE FALL: Joe Biden's Approval Now Underwater in 48 States!!!
Biden is above water in just Vermont and Hawaii according to Civiqs survey for Biden’s job approval.
According to Civiqs, his favorability went negative on January 28, 2021, and has gotten steadily worse since that date.
Looking at the subgroups in the survey, the news for Team Biden is no better. Nationally, the president does not have a positive net approval in any age group. His support is lowest with Americans aged 18-34, a demographic the Democrats have long taken for granted. There is also not a single education level where Biden earns a net positive approval. Even college-educated voters, who increasingly voted Democrat over several election cycles, only reported a 38% approval rating. So much for ignorant voters, lol.
Two groups critical to Biden’s win in the Electoral College were women and independent voters. Only 42% of women approve of the president’s performance. Even though Biden still scores higher with women than men, his net approval with women is -5. Independent voters report they disapprove of Biden’s performance 62% of the time, and the net approval in that group is -36%.

In response to soaring gas prices, Biden announced Tuesday that he will release 50 million barrels of oil (only about two days worth) from our “Strategic Petroleum Reserve,” which is meant for use only in national emergencies and offers only short-term relief.
Had the administration not killed vital, safe pipelines, or kowtowed to environmental radicals by blocking oil production on public lands, this wouldn’t be necessary, and gas would likely be under $3 a gallon nationally. Only a year ago, the United States was a net exporter of oil, yet here we are dipping into the emergency supply. I suppose this is what voting Democrat brings.
Vern has no idea of covid's effects on oil markets. Demand went down, so did prices. Then supply went down and demand rose.
Petroleum reserves are being released globally and he wants to "Blame Biden"(TM). None of Biden's measures have impacted global oil supply and demand.
Or does he understand, but just wants to show us who to hate and blame? It's the fascist way.
Here is an article pertaining to the building tensions between the U.S. and Russia as I promised. Just one of many that I read, it might be long and dense for people unaccustomed to detailed political articles.

Woody,
Global hegemony, like the Cold War and its proxy conflicts, is a dangerous game, and the US, Russia, and China are the major threats.
We can hope all the hell Biden caught for pulling out of Afghanistan will give him pause for any other militarism.
Putin scooped up Crimea, and China is eyeing Taiwan and the South China Sea. And then there's the good ol' USA, utterly disregarding Ike's warning:
"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."
Here's a shorter piece that condensed the major issue with Russia.

NATO's flirtation with adding 2 more members runs the risk of starting a war the US can't afford to fight

1. While in Europe this month, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin made clear that Ukraine and Georgia may still join NATO.
2. Ukraine and Georgia have much in common with other NATO members — including a rivalry with their neighbor, Russia.
3. But offering them membership is a dangerous and counterproductive policy that doesn't serve US national interests.

Rising radical Right wing nationalism, global warming, years-long pandemics, and the specter of war don't paint a very rosy picture of humanity's future.
"Had the administration not killed vital, safe pipelines, or kowtowed to environmental radicals by blocking oil production on public lands, this wouldn’t be necessary, and gas would likely be under $3 a gallon nationally. "
Which "vital; safe" pipelines were killed?
How do you KNOW that gas would be less than $4?
All Sybil does is scan the internet searching for ANY article that feeds his insane obsession with President Biden. he's so butt hurt and embarrassed by Trump's LOSS, that he can't do anything but WHINE.
The stock market is at record highs. Unemployment is down, average wages are up. the infrastructure bill has passed. (which alone is more for the USA than trump ever did). Vaccinations are up, and the only people really suffering from Covid anymore are the unvaccinated.
Jan 6 conspirators are being indicted, arrested, tried, and convicted.

February 1, 2020: “Trump further diminished the U.S. in the eyes of the world by expanding his travel ban. This new ‘African Ban,’ is designed to make it harder for black and brown people to immigrate to the United States. It’s a disgrace, and we cannot let him succeed.”
Joe Biden
Biden’s handlers announced a plan to follow in Trump’s footsteps and ban travel from eight countries in Africa in order to fight what is being presented as a dangerous new variant of the coronavirus. Biden Imposes Travel Bans He Called Trump Racist for Imposing.
Biden Will Restart Trump's Remain in Mexico Policy as 'Promptly as Possible'
"supply went down and demand rose"
Had the Biden administration not killed vital, safe pipelines, or kowtowed to environmental radicals by blocking oil production on public lands, this wouldn’t be necessary, and gas would likely be under $3 a gallon nationally. Only a year ago, the United States was a net exporter of oil, yet here we are dipping into the emergency supply. I suppose this is what voting Democrat brings.
Spinning and whining to follow by the Cult of Biden.
Which pipelines carrying oil for American use did President Biden "kill"?
"environmental radicals" meaning American citizens who don't want national parks and vital sources of fresh water polluted and destroyed by the fossil fuel industry.
Trump's "footsteps" usually had a hunk of toilet paper attached. trump never banned travel to the USA except for CHINESE people, but allowing WHITE people to move freely back into the country
And again, Sybil posts drivel which he cannot defend, and then uses the word "cult" proving he has no thoughts of his own.
Why doesn't Sybil admit that the stock market is at record highs. Unemployment is down, average wages are up. the infrastructure bill has passed. (which alone is more for the USA than trump ever did). Vaccinations are up, and the only people really suffering from Covid anymore are the unvaccinated.
And why is Sybil embarrassed to admit that he's vaccinated?
Sybil; also now plagiarizing several different sources. Citi Gist, Fox Entertainment, etc.
THEN he further shows his lack of personal thought by using the terms, "whining" and "cult".
He WHINES about gas prices, screaming "WHY DOESN'T BIDEN DO SOMETHING?", and when he does the ONLY thing a President has the power to do concerning fuel prices, he WHINES about him opening the strategic reserve.
Gas prices should he HIGHER but the fossil fuel industry keeps pump prices artificially low so we won't be forced to buy hybrids and electrics, while making up the bulk of their HUGE profits through taxpayer funded subsidies.
According to Trump, the stock market is the #1 measure of his presidential success, and "Big Oil" is doing fine.
"Shares of Exxon Mobil and Chevron rose on Friday after the energy giants topped earnings expectations."

Joe Biden has ordered a ban on travel from eight African countries due to the emergence of the latest coronavirus variant. The countries from which Biden is cutting off travel are South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique and Malawi. When Donald Trump banned travel from China in the early days of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak, Biden called the move xenophobic. I suppose that makes Biden’s travel ban racist
Yes, gas prices are President Biden's fault.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-global-oil-trump-saudi-specialreport/special-report-trump-told-saudi-cut-oil-supply-or-lose-u-s-military-support-sources-idUSKBN22C1V4?fbclid=IwAR0CMrI_wXnhbomMCtcbHXOOGZfs_5CiN1T_D4q6KEGVbVeEYiLwKhXMbfY
When Trump banned travel it was ONLY for Chinese people and he didn't require testing for anyone else to come in.

Today president Biden and his Democrat government decided to make it harder for black and brown people to immigrate to the United States with a new African Ban on travel over the Omicron covid variant.
Joe Biden
@JoeBiden
United States government official
"Trump further diminished the U.S. in the eyes of the world by expanding his travel ban. This new “African Ban,” is designed to make it harder for black and brown people to immigrate to the United States. It’s a disgrace, and we cannot let him succeed."
"When Trump banned travel it was ONLY for Chinese people" Mofart.
Oops, looks like somebody is wrong again. LMAO
Fact:
"supply went down and demand rose"
Lie:
"Had the Biden administration not killed vital, safe pipelines, or kowtowed to environmental radicals by blocking oil production on public lands, this wouldn’t be necessary, and gas would likely be under $3 a gallon nationally."
Only a year ago, demand in the United States was way down. See fact above.
If Biden is to blame for gas prices, then Trump is to blame for 3/4 of a million dead Americans.
For good or bad Biden is selling leases in the Gulf where none were sold before. To maintain our present life style more oil and gas drilling will have to be done even at the risk to the environment.
They are already talking $6.00 gas by the summer which will collapse the economy.

There are always two sides to a story but Russia looks to have done nothing wrong ever since Obama created the coup in Ukraine. We installed a horrible leader there who was going to give the warm water ports in Crimea to the U.S. Navy, a very stupid plan.
Obama also gave 1 1/2 Billion in arms to Ukraine and they started bombing the Eastern side of the country which was pro Russia and speaks Russian.
The people of Crimea asked to be taken back into Russia and 96% of the people voted to go back. Not a shot was fired but the U.S keeps saying Russia invaded Crimea which is nonsense.
It's complicated. Yes Russians have been in Crimea a long time. Yes, they sent more troops in before the Annexation vote.
And no, the vote wasn't an accurate representation of the public's preference.
https://www.brookings.edu/blog/order-from-chaos/2020/03/17/crimea-six-years-after-illegal-annexation/
On March 6, the Crimean Supreme Council voted to ask to accede to Russia. The council scheduled a referendum for March 16, which offered two choices: join Russia or return to Crimea’s 1992 constitution, which gave the peninsula significant autonomy. Those who favored Crimea remaining part of Ukraine under the current constitution had no box to check.
The conduct of the referendum proved chaotic and took place absent any credible international observers. Local authorities reported a turnout of 83 percent, with 96.7 percent voting to join Russia. The numbers seemed implausible, given that ethnic Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars accounted for almost 40 percent of the peninsula’s population. (Two months later, a leaked report from the Russian president’s Human Rights Council put turnout at only 30 percent, with about half of those voting to join Russia.)
Same old, same old. Might makes right. Democracy is an illusion perpetrated and controlled by the powerful.
We're on the brink of an election when democrats will have millions more votes than republicans, but still lose the House and Senate.
"True, Biden quickly canceled construction of the Keystone XL pipeline and stopped granting new drilling permits on federal lands. But those moves would not affect production capacity for years to come, analysts said, and could not be considered factors until U.S. producers ramped up production from 10.4 million barrels a day to their pre-pandemic high of 13.3 million barrels a day.
De Haan pointed out that Biden didn’t cause production to decline to 10 million barrels a day or less during the pandemic.
“That happened under President [Donald] Trump,” he said."
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/gas-prices-projected-to-stay-high-through-2022-now-can-we-blame-biden/ar-AAPFBdT
Projections for gas prices in summer 2022 are expected to trade at ~$2.00/gallon. If that's too onerous, then go electric and fill up at home.
What is the price of gas nationally right now? https://gasprices.aaa.com/state-gas-price-averages/
And going down.
The travel ban wasn't the reason trump was called racist. It was his constant referral to Corona as the "China Virus", or the "China flu", even suggesting that they CREATED it to attack the USA.
THAT was the racist part, that and suggesting that "Chinatown" was spreading a virus that was barely into the USA at the time.
Dave, that article did not impress me. They omitted the most important part, the CIA backed coup in Ukraine is the foundation of all the problems there. The previous president did not just up and flee to Russia, it was a violent over throw of a popular leader.
The coup caused a civil war between Donetsk, Lugansk and Crimea against the western part of Ukraine which is still on going to this day.
Donetsk and Lugansk asked to be part of Russia again but Putin had to say no because of all the political fall out it would cause.
If the MIC is lucky this will turn into a very large war.
President Biden was spotted inside a store without wearing a mask — in violation of the store’s policy.
The president was seen inside Murray’s Toggery Shop in Nantucket Saturday with his mask around his neck and not covering his mouth despite a visible sign outside the door instructing patrons to wear a mask.
According to the White House press pool, Biden walked out of the shop at 4:45 p.m. with his mask down and drinking what appeared to be a milkshake.
The president ignored a question on what more needs to be done to stop the rising omicron variant as he walked down the street to another store.
If the pandemic really is as bad as the White House says it is, why isn’t the president wearing a mask?
Typical.
All we hear ever is how veterans are a huge domestic terror threat, the right is a huge domestic terror threat, people from the right are the biggest danger, masculine men are toxic, conservatives are scary racists, and on and on. But yet our streets are filled with violence from BLM and Antifa, rioting for almost 2 years now, storming government buildings, trying to burn them down, attacking police and civilians, demanding white people surrender their property, harassing people in bathrooms and at restaurants… this list goes on for miles and it includes Waukesha.
The masks most people wear are just for show, they hardly qualify as dust masks and certainly would not be appropriate for asbestos or lead dust, masks for those are rated by the micron.
Viruses are just about at the atomic level so these masks are a joke.
Prove this wrong
Right now the average wind farm is about 150 turbines. Each wind turbine needs 80 gallons of oil as lubricant and we're not talking about vegetable oil, this is a PAO synthetic oil based on crude... 12,000 gallons of it. That oil needs to be replaced once a year.
It is estimated that a little over 3,800 turbines would be needed to power a city the size of New York... That's 304,000 gallons of refined oil for just one city.
Now you have to calculate every city across the nation, large and small, to find the grand total of yearly oil consumption from "clean" energy.
Where do you think all that oil is going to come from, the oil fairies?
Not to mention the fact that the large equipment needed to build these wind farms run on petroleum. As well as the equipment required for installation, service, maintenance, and eventual removal.
And just exactly how eco-friendly is wind energy anyway?
Each turbine requires a footprint of 1.5 acres, so a wind farm of 150 turbines needs 225 acres; In order to power a city the size of NYC you'd need 57,000 acres; and who knows the astronomical amount of land you would need to power the entire US. All of which would have to be clear-cut land because trees create a barrier & turbulence that interferes with the 20mph sustained wind velocity necessary for the turbine to work properly (also keep in mind that not all states are suitable for such sustained winds). Boy, cutting down all those trees is gonna piss off a lot of green-loving tree-huggers.
Let's talk about disposal now.
The lifespan of a modern, top quality, highly efficient wind turbine is 20 years.
After that, then what? What happens to those gigantic fiber composite blades?
They cannot economically be reused, refurbished, reduced, repurposed, or recycled so guess what..? It's off to special landfills they go.
And guess what else..? They're already running out of these special landfill spaces for the blades that have already exceeded their usefulness. Seriously! Those blades are anywhere from 120 ft. to over 200 ft. long and there are 3 per turbine. And that's with only 7% of the nation currently being supplied with wind energy. Just imagine if we had the other 93% of the nation on the wind grid... 20 years from now you'd have all those unusable blades with no place to put them... Then 20 years after that, and 20 years after that, and so on.
Golly gee, how green is that?
Oops, I almost forgot about the 500,000 birds that are killed each year from wind turbine blade collisions; most of which are endangered hawks, falcons, owls, geese, ducks, and eagles.
Apparently smaller birds are more agile and able to dart and dodge out of the way of the spinning blades, whereas the larger soaring birds aren't so lucky.
I'm sure the wildlife conservationist folks are just ecstatic about that.
I'm so glad the wind energy people are looking out for the world.

TECHNOLOGY IMPROVED.
More birds are killed by feral cats than wind turbines, and even that can be greatly reduced by simply painting the edge of the blades black.

The U.S. is the largest producer of oil and we are pumping plenty of oil. These pipelines (which people are protesting) are being built to move this huge production of oil. So who is setting the high gas prices and why?
Woody,
You're right about the US corporate media ignoring the dirty work by the US in trying to oust Ukraine from Russian influence. The Cold War/NATO syndrome needs to be relegated to the past.
I still can't see Putin as only the victim in all this geo-political wrangling, though. We'll never know how much blood and dirt are on his hands either.
Incorporating Ukraine into NATO would be a serious mistake.
"Imagine no countries..."
https://www.dummies.com/education/economics/how-gas-prices-are-determined/
Gas prices have a number of variables that drive cost.
And now this: Ukraine's president has said the country's intelligence services have uncovered a Russian-backed plot to stage a coup against his government.
"Jerry" (Sybil)
Everyone with more than a 2nd grade education knows that the pipelines Biden shut down were for carrying CANADIAN tar sand oil to the gulf for transport to CHINA among other places. NOT ONE DROP was for US use. All the XL pipeline did was leak into the nations main source of fresh water. NO ONE who lived in the ares it crossed wanted it there.
So the high prices are set by the people who you already know.
THE AMERICAN FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY.
Blame them. But then you'd have to WHINE about a huge billion dollar corporation making huge profits, and that will get you kicked out of the "conservative" club.
Sybil, no one says President Biden is the best ever, but he IS better than the last guy, and that's enough for now.
And no one called trump racist for the travel ban. He was called racist for claiming China CREATED the virus and for calling it the "China flu".
Now...change the subject again. Post some more irrelevant BS you feel the need to WHINE about.
Employment UP. Average wages UP. Corona on the ropes (except in red states). Stock market at record highs, and according to YOUR orange hero that means the President is doing a great job.
Or was he LYING?
I know of no war crimes or internal repression of the Russian people by Putin. He has only one or two military bases outside Russia so accusations aside I think Putin's hands are clean as compared to the 20 year killing spree the U.S. has committed.
It costs the U.S. 5 Billion and a very long effort to pull off the coup in Ukraine, as far as I know only the U.S. does regime change.
Russia does not have the ability or the desire to do a regime change in Ukraine. The amount of anti Russian rhetoric coming out of Ukraine is huge, pretty stupid considering Russia give 3 Billion a year to Ukraine for gas transit fees every year.

Sounds like an ORANGE guy we all know.
Putin got a "regime change" done just fine in the USA when he helped install trump as "president" when H. Clinton was the clear choice of the American people.

"Adjusting for this industry growth, it can be projected that approximately 681,000 birds are currently killed by wind turbines in the U.S. each year.

They don;t.
From Sybil's own OBVIOUSLY Biased source.
"Each study was unique in its methods, resulting in varying estimates."
VARYING ESTIMATES.
In other words even their wild guesses don;t match.

Oil spills don't include pipeline spills? DUH.

Mofart,
Do you really want to continue showing how stupid you are?
Or is that a "bad question"?
When these two got together, something magical happened.
Oil spills DO include pipeline spills. Oil is oil, and a spill is a spill.
"It can be projected" is not actual numbers. It's something the fossil fuel industry makes up from whole cloth. Do birds die from wind turbines? yes Are more killed in oil spills AND by feral cats?
yes.
Don;t even try and convince us you care about wildlife. You support the party and the "man" that passed laws allowing hunters to kill hibernating bears, and how many Eagles and other predatory birds(eagles, hawks) are killed by pesticides used by "big agriculture"?

An article detailing the dangers of the vaccines. Dr. Mercola has millions of followers for his years of promoting a healthy plant based diet.
"Go figure", means keep looking for sources that support your claims.
Woody,
That article is Mercola blowing his own horn. A healthy plant-based diet is one thing, but the medical consensus, (the FDA, Surgeon General, and National Council Against Health Fraud), says Dr.(osteopath) Mercola is a spreader of misinformation.
Here are just a few of the well-sourced bits of info on the Wiki page on him:
He has been warned numerous times by the FDA for selling unapproved health products, including supposed treatments for COVID-19. Mercola was banned from Youtube on September 29, 2021.
He was warned by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in February 2021 for selling fake COVID-19 cures. In March, the Center for Countering Digital Hate named Mercola as one of the 12 most prominent sources of COVID misinformation in a report later cited by US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy In September his accounts on YouTube were removed by the company for breaking their policies on COVID-19 misinformation.
Mercola claimed that inhaling 0.5–3% hydrogen peroxide solution using a nebulizer could prevent or cure COVID-19.
He has millions of anti-vax followers and he's a primary financial supporter for the anti-vax "National Vaccine Information Center", known for spreading the debunked claim that vaccines cause autism. They also claim over 17,000 fatal reactions to covid vaccinations. These are NOT medical stats, but submissions from literally anyone who wants to add to the misinformation.
In other words, his followers.
One would think the vast majority of people dying from covid are the idiots who refused to get vaccinated MIGHT tell us something.
But no. This is Trump Country, home of the Big Lie and snake oil covid cures.
"Go figure" means that it surprises no one that Sybil can't back up his batshit nonsense.
And yes, finding RELIABLE sources that support my claims is how one backs up one's words.
But Sybil would have no idea what that's about.
Woody, L Ron Hubbard has "millions of followers" It doesn;t mean Scientology is anything more than a CULT.
Same with trump. Millions of followers in his CULT.
I didn't hear any of you claiming the vaccines were bad when trump was taking credit for "creating" them.
Dave, I am well aware of all the accusations against Dr. Mercola and I hope they are all true as just about every one I know including most of my extended family has taken the shot. I did not because I have been severely damaged by the medical industry and will not take a chance on them finishing me off.
The vaccine stories are the mother of all conspiracy theories but there is accumulating evidence that Big Pharma, which is making 4 Million an hour, is the real culprit here.
Here is a multiple PHD doctor from the Mayo Clinic saying the vaccines a super dangerous.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/TsdTTHJteilw/?fbclid=IwAR30_KUQRI8aTmqGsjExkkgKmwIDRz9GQAYCZ_NYo3X0BEyZgFtrtBFhdAo
Mozart, Mercola has had millions of followers for at least 2 decades because of his stance against GMO and Big Pharma. That is why is has credibility when he came out against the vaccines.
Trump has lost a lot of luster with Conservatives over the vaccine issue, many will not vote for him if he runs again.
On many issues there is a political divide such as Global Warming but this time I think they are are the right side. Time will tell.
Woody,
I can't find where Ryan Cole MD is associated with the Mayo Clinic.
It seems he prescribes ivermectin for covid, so...
I hope the damage you sustained from the medical industry won't be a co-morbidity for covid.
Why won’t Biden speak out against the racial hatred of the Waukesha massacre, especially when it has thus far cost the lives of six people, one of them only eight years old? Why hasn’t Biden gone to Waukesha to visit the victims of actual racial hatred? Why hasn't Al Sharpton showed up in solidarity to the victims?
Because the left doesn’t really hate ALL bigots!
Woody, lots of people have "millions of followers" it doesn't make them worthy of respect.

"During the COVID-19 pandemic, Mercola spread misinformation about the virus and pseudoscientific anti-vaccine misinformation on social media platforms; researchers have identified him as the "chief spreader of coronavirus misinformation online".He has been warned numerous times by the FDA for selling unapproved health products, including supposed treatments for COVID-19. Mercola was banned from Youtube on September 29, 2021."

So woody admits that he refuses to take his meds.
That explains a LOT.
Dave, I will be very surprised if I am here still commenting in a year considering the cascading effects of the bad medicine I took.
Ivermectin was used in India and Japan to drop covid cases and deaths to amazing low numbers.
The most vaccinated country's have the most covid cases like in Israel.
Mozart, you might be regretting taking the shots in the future, only time will tell. There is massive censorship over the covid issue, I think people should be able to make up their own minds with out the governments help.
Woody,
Like you say, there are two sides to the story.
India stopped recommending the use of ivermectin for the management of the virus in September, citing a lack of scientific evidence of its benefits. Researchers at the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) did not find enough evidence for Ivermectin and Hydroxycholoquine as potential therapeutics targeted against COVID-19.*
https://www.newswise.com/factcheck/success-of-ivermectin-in-preventing-covid-19-in-india-has-not-been-proven/?article_id=761091
A non-peer-reviewed study shows ivermectin seemed to have helped in non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients, median age was 35.
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.05.31.21258081v1
Yeah, I still like odds better with the vaccine.
Here is another story confirming the drop in covid cases.
https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2021/02/01/962821038/the-mystery-of-indias-plummeting-covid-19-cases
800,000 to 8000 cases but they do not tell you that ivermectin and several other drugs were given out by the government to great effect.
Dave, I will be having a good time debating with such an intelligent fellow as your self.
https://odysee.com/@Writzer:f/Ivermectin_in_Japan:c
This video shows cases of covid in Japan went from 200,000 a day to 104 after the top doctor of Japan ordered ivermectin to be issued to the general public.
They had less than 1000 deaths so they did something right.
Woody,
Thanks. But I'm really more of a smart-ass than someone gifted with intelligence. I'm just curious, and fascinated by the circus of mass madness and freak show of humanity.
Fact checking on covid and remedies is certainly fraught with conflicting information and opinion. The virus itself rises and falls in uncertain patterns. There's a lot we don't know.
There is the overwhelming evidence covid vaccinations save lives and mitigate infection.
There is also overwhelming evidence masks mitigate the spread.
Rejection of these facts is why a lot of people die.
Still, if I was infected and had no access to vaccinations I'd certainly consider some options.
Vaccines do work but at a cost in the long run. I feel this is the most amazing thing to happen and on a world wide basis.
I am trying to show that Big Pharma, MSM and the government ignored better, cheaper, alterative treatments in favor of super expensive and dangerous vaccines because they are raking in more money than any industry on the planet.
The narrative is slowly failing,
https://americanmilitarynews.com/2021/09/army-flight-surgeon-says-pilots-risk-sudden-cardiac-death-from-covid-vaccine-side-effect/
Woody,
Nobody despises Big Pharma more than I do. And their corporate crooks are getting away with blood on their hands, like the Oxy pushing Sacklers.
As we wait for peer-reviewed studies and documented effectiveness, those vaccines are saving lives now. Better dead in the long run than the short run.
No manufactured drug is 100% safe and Covid is still far deadlier than the vaccine.
I noticed this from the article:
A review by Military.com of the Food and Drug Administration's Vaccine Adverse Event Report System, or VAERS, database as of Friday showed at least 45 reports of myocarditis following COVID-19 vaccines...VAERS officials stress that reports of illnesses or health problems following a vaccine do not indicate that the vaccine caused or contributed to the condition, only that an illness occurred in conjunction with receiving a vaccine.
"The reports may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable. In large part, reports to VAERS are voluntary, which means they are subject to biases. This creates specific limitations on how the data can be used scientifically," VAERS notes on its web page.
The the anti-vax "National Vaccine Information Center" also bases reports and misinformation on unscientific and undocumented VAERS data.
But I'm always open to new evidence and studies.

I am surprised they allowed this on You Tube !!
The VAER site is only used by doctors as far as I know.
"But I'm always open to new evidence and studies". That is pretty rare nowadays.
Went to the VAER site, anyone can use it so I will not be linking to that site.
( Sigh) People like Woody are why we can't have nice things.
Why won’t Biden speak out against the racial hatred of the Waukesha massacre, especially when it has thus far cost the lives of six people, one of them only eight years old? Why hasn’t Biden gone to Waukesha to visit the victims of actual racial hatred? Why hasn't Al Sharpton showed up in solidarity to the victims?
Because the left doesn’t really hate ALL bigots!
Kamala Stopped FBI From Monitoring Black Supremacists Like Waukesha Killer. Two years ago, Senator Kamala Harris, along with Senator Cory Booker and six other Democrat Senate members, attacked the Justice Department for monitoring black supremacists. The politicians signed a letter falsely claiming that black identity extremists was “a fabricated term based on a faulty assessment of a small number of isolated incidents”.
And they argued that monitoring black racists was racist.
In Waukesha, Jackson Sparks, an 8-year-old boy, was killed by the black supremacist terrorist whom Kamala Harris had protected.
That little boy’s blood is on her hands.
Kamala had joined a crusade by Senator Cory Booker to pressure the FBI to eliminate the black identity extremists category and stop tracking terror attacks by black supremacists.
The left doesn't really hate ALL bigots.
Chuck is that all you got some boring race stuff? Are you so insecure that you cannot even come out as pro or anti vaxx? And where is Jerry on this topic? I like to know where people stand and then we can move on to a new topic, hopefully not race related.
According to Meadows, Vern’s Dear Leader tested positive for Covid on 9/26. On 9/27 he held event w/military families. Here’s what the Post said about it: “At Trump’s insistence, few were wearing masks…He wasn’t worried about others getting sick, but he did fret about his own vulnerability”
Trump then went on Hannity and suggested military families were responsible for the Covid outbreak in the White House.
They still worship and serve their authoritarian insurrectionist sociopath.
"pro or anti vaxx?"
I am pro choice, it's your body, it is therefore your choice to vaxx or not to vaxx. You get to choose what you want to do with your body and then you get to face or deal with the consequences of your choice.
Meadows, now there's a trusted non biased source for your news. I didn't know Dave watched Hannity or for that matter anything on FOX News.
Vern's "pro choice." Except for raped women, of course. They have no choice. It's not their body. It belongs to conservative white men.
And Meadows was there.
Does Vern think we're talking about Rachel Maddow? Still a better source than Meadows, Trump, and Vern.
Mofart,
It really is beyond your ability to hold a civil adult conversation.
"Except for raped women, of course. They have no choice. It's not their body. It belongs to conservative white men." How many women have you raped?
It is beyond your ability to hold a conversation without bringing up Trump, you are deranged.
Woody, there you go, I responded about the vaxx and you see the results. Won't happen again. I'll stick with boring racism stuff.
Joe Biden Balks When Asked if He Will Visit Families of Michigan School Shooting...Biden spoke to reporters as he left Minnesota after traveling to promote his infrastructure bill. He said he talked with Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) about the shooting.
“I think she knew somebody who was there,” he said. “I’m not — I don’t know anybody who was injured.”
The left doesn't really hate ALL bigots.
Vern means THIS Debbie Dingle:
Congresswoman Debbie Dingle tweeted:
I’m deeply concerned about the break-in & vandalization of my Dearborn office today. Our door & windows were smashed & memorabilia – especially John’s items – was broken. Thankfully, my staff & I are safe & no one was hurt, but we must also recognize the impact attacks like this one & constant threats have had on my staff & all Congressional staff.
This needs to stop now. The motive for today’s incident is unclear, but what I can tell you is that the disrespect, violence, & division need to end in this country. We need to practice civility and kindness, not divisiveness and anger. My office has been receiving threats for months & we take them very seriously. This vandalization really hits home.
Regardless of if your views differ from mine or from your neighbor’s, we need to learn to hear each other out & work together to solve the issues facing our nation. Violence & vandalism aren’t the answer. I’m grateful for the Dearborn Police & United States Capitol Police who keep us safe. We are working with them to identify who is responsible & hold them accountable. In the meantime, please be safe & please spread a little kindness.
And HE's lecturing US about hate?
This isn’t the first time the radical Right has emulated Hitler’s “Kristallnacht” terrorism.
After Obamacare was passed, militia member Mike Vanderboegh wrote on his blog, “If you wish to send a message that Pelosi and her party cannot fail to hear, break their windows. Break them NOW.” Within days, across the country, Democratic Party office windows were broken. Eighteen months after this, he was an invited guest on FOX News.
Damn straight, I'll compare American fascists to Nazis. Their Dear Leader PRAISED his terrorist thugs after their attempted coup.
Hitler had his Beer Hall Putsch and Trump had his 1/6 Putsch.
And Vern is still loyal to his terrorist-praising leader.
Wow, looks like choice doesn't apply to men when it comes to men and vaxxing. It's not after all their body.
Violence from the left, like the legalization of the ending of human life while in the womb, the attack on GOP Congressmen at a baseball practice, the slaughter of 6 Christmas parade marchers by a Black radical, the murder of JFK, during the summer of 1970 alone, there were 20 bombings a week in California by the Weather Underground, In 1971, the Weather Underground bombed the United States Capitol. In 1972, the Weather Underground bombed the Pentagon. In 1975, the Weather Underground bombed the State Department. The members plotted the assassination of a California State Senator in 1978.
That was only one violent leftwing group. There were others. In the last few decades, the left wing Earth Liberation Front (“ELF”) has engaged in numerous terrorist attacks in the United States. The group has burned down research facilities, destroyed property, and engaged in other violence.
According to a 2001 report,(https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc724454/m1/3/) “Leftist extremists were responsible for three-fourths of the officially designated acts of terrorism in America in the 1980s.
The Rise of the Violent Left
Antifa’s activists say they’re battling burgeoning authoritarianism on the American right. Are they fueling it instead?
By Peter Beinart https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/09/the-rise-of-the-violent-left/534192/
The SUMMER of ANTIFA 2020...Antifa's Deadly Year Shows the Extremism on the Far Left https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/oct/6/antifa-violence-escalates-movement-goes-mainstream/
Remember Maxine Waters urging people to get in the faces of Republicans regardless where they were. Recall Waters calling for protesters to 'get more confrontational'?
Remember when Elizabeth Warren said Republicans ‘Must Be Stopped’, is that inciting violence?
Here are some vids of the violence of the left...https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/14032268/trump-impeachment-trial-team-dems-violence-day-four/
Here is a link listing 15 (FIFTEEN) 15 Democratic attacks, assaults, threats on Republicans https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/list-15-democratic-attacks-assaults-threats-on-republicans
And Dave is lecturing US about violence?
Damned right I'll continue to point out the hypocrisy of Dave and his lies about Conservatives being the source of violence in America...History proves him so WRONG, but in his leftist cult, he can only hate. On purpose he is blind to reality.
Is it any wonder that Dave has been banned from blogs for his radical, racist, lying posts? He is using the playbook of every revolutionary group wanting to overthrow the government, blame the other side for his sides actions. Hiding behind his false accusations to do his filthy work.
Dave is NOT sorry for any of the violence from his fellow leftist, he will never disavow them or their actions. He supports violence. He is vile.
1. Last year, House Republicans practicing for a congressional baseball game were shot by a liberal supporter and volunteer for 2016 presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. Sanders said he was “sickened” by the shooting and recently dismissed liberal charges that Trump was to blame for the Pittsburgh synagogue slayings .
2. In June, California Rep. Maxine Waters called for threats and attacks on Trump team members . She said, "If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere."
3, That month White House Spokeswoman Sarah Sanders and her group had to leave a Virginia restaurant because of their work for Trump. “This feels like the moment in our democracy when people have to make uncomfortable actions and decisions to uphold their morals,” said Red Hen Restaurant co-owner Stephanie Wilkinson.
4. White House top aide Stephen Miller was verbally assaulted at two restaurants, in Washington, D.C.
5. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was met with shouting protesters at a Washington restaurant, part of a social media pop up assault.
6. Sen. Ted Cruz and his wife were shouted out of a restaurant by anti-Brett Kavanaugh protesters.
7. Democratic Sen. Cory Booker in July urged liberal advocates to “Get up in the face of some congresspeople."
8. Hillary Rodham Clinton said Democrats shouldn’t be civil to Republicans until they win back control of Washington. She said, “You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about.”
9. Former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder junked former first lady Michelle Obama’s call for civility when he told supporters, “Michelle always says, ‘When they go low, we go high.’ No. No. When they go low, we kick them,” he said, adding, “That’s what this Democratic Party’s about. We’re proud as hell to be Democrats. We’re willing to fight for the ideals of the Democratic Party.”
10. The wife of Republican Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner said that she received a graphic text message with a video of a beheading after he voted to confirm Kavanaugh.
11. When Kavanaugh arrived at the Supreme Court to take his seat, a mob pounded on the doors of the Supreme Court. They yelled, “No justice, no peace.”
12. During the Kavanaugh hearings Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins received a potentially deadly mailing of Ricin at her home. “Today’s incident is the latest in a series of threats against Senator Collins, her loved ones, and her staff,” said spokeswoman Annie Clark.
13. The campaign manager for Nevada GOP gubernatorial candidate Adam Laxalt was allegedly grabbed and yanked by an operative for American Bridge 21st Century, funded by liberal billionaire George Soros. “Politics is a little bit aggressive these days, but this is just insane. I’ve never seen anything like it,” said a bruised Kristin Davison.
14. Two Minnesota state GOP candidates say they were attacked, punched by political foes.
15. The Laramie, Wyo. Republican office was set on fire, a case of arson, according to police.
GOOGLE these yourself for the sources, you don't pay me to do your work for you.
And DAVE is still loyal to his terrorist-praising cult.
I'm betting Vern didn't even read all the crap he just dumped.
The King of the January 6 Clown Committee, @BennieGThompson, said that if you choose to plead the 5th, you’re guilty.
That’s not what the law says, Bennie.
He needs to read the constitution.
Unbelievable. pic.twitter.com/j5kjsihGN6
I'm betting Dave didn't read what I posted.
Facts, and truth are now crap, like the FBI crime statistics are according to Dave.
Sybil doesn't understand that the 5th ONLY applies to the "guilty". There is no reason for the innocent to use it.
Sybil needs to read the constitution. "self INCRIMINATION" .
I'b betting Sybil never reads what he posts either.
Sybil still using "cult" proving he has no thoughts of his own.
I'm sure he supports the Jan 6 insurrection attempt, and those TREASONOUS losers that planned and participated in it.
And Sybil, if you can't post your own sources, why should we bother? YOU make the claims, YOU back them up.
And your WHINING is a bit out of date. The Shooting at a BB game was not "last year" . You need to edit after cutting and pasting.
Vern has different standards for his Dear Leader, of course.
“If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment,” Trump said as a candidate in 2016. "The mob takes the Fifth.”
I'm betting Vern ignores this.
Joe ain't so sleepy here:
Biden highlighted comments by Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, who chairs the National Republican Senatorial Committee and who told the Wall Street Journal earlier this month rising inflation will be a “gold mine” for the GOP.
(Vern would agree with the corrupt Rick "Medicare Fraud" Scott, but he's pleading the Fifth.)
“One Republican senator even said that rising prices were, quote, ‘a gold mine,’ end of quote, for Republicans politically,” Biden said. “Imagine rooting for higher costs for American families just to score a few political points.”
We know why. It's because Republicans don't give a damn about democracy or the welfare and interests of the American people, only about power, and imposing a one-party dictatorship.
So why aren't Mofart and Vile Dave defending or denying the violence of the left as historically proven? Cause they can't.
Biden says he went to Israel during the Six Day War to act as a liaison. He’s lying. That never happened. Totally normal. pic.twitter.com/rqLysviI4U
So where WAS Biden at the time?
The Six Day War was in June 1967.
In 1967, Joe Biden was attending Syracuse Law school where he was busted for plagiarism. https://t.co/RLcrqF4a0F
Mofart, how many women have you raped?
