Waukesha and Trials We've listened to the media and powers that be go on for over a year how Kyle was a white supremacist, and anyone who objects to their towns burning down and property destroyed by people purporting to be acting in the name of social justice is a horrible person and must be, perforce, a racist. No other explanation or motive exists. Do you honestly think Binger would have fought so hard to get in the long-after-trial "proud boys" encounter if there as a scrap of evidence on…

It may be a pragmatic solution, but I fundamentally disagree. Even leaving aside the whole "de…
(see the updates below) I was watching the Rittenhouse trial. For those interested in commentary on the trial, I recommend you read Branca's summaries at Legal Insurrection [https://legalinsurrection.com/], look at the summaries at Viva Frei's youtube channel [https://www.youtube.com/c/VivaFrei], or, if you want all of the insight and commentary, the epic streams at Rekeita's channel [https://www.youtube.com/c/RekietaLaw/videos]. Instead, I want to point out something I think was overlooked o…
