(Fox News / YouTube screen shot; Sean Krajacic – Pool / Getty Images) It was an unusual move for Kyle Rittenhouse to take the stand in his own defense on Wednesday.
Defendants don’t have to testify, after all, and cross-examination by experienced prosecutors could destroy their chances of acquittal in a matter of moments.
In highly charged cases like Rittenhouse’s, it can also engender reactions like this one from NBA superstar and liberal Twitter warrior LeBron James, who mocked Rittenhouse for crying during his testimony: What tears????? I didn’t see one. Man knock it off! That boy ate some lemon heads before walking into court. 🤣🤣🤣 https://t.co/LKwYssIUmD — LeBron James (@KingJames) November 11, 2021 Criminal justice expert LeBron James, ladies and gentlemen. You’d think he would have learned from an April controversy in which he posted a threatening tweet targeting the officer who shot and killed Ma’Khia Bryant, an Ohio teen who, bodycam video showed, was about to stab a girl pinned against a car. Apparently not.
However, what makes Rittenhouse’s decision to testify truly unusual is that, no matter how much the establishment media tries to wallpaper over the fact, the state’s case against him is extraordinarily weak.
The prosecution’s own witnesses have indicated that the first man shot by Rittenhouse in August 2020 had tried to grab his gun . Rittenhouse discharged his AR-15 a second time only after a man pointed a loaded pistol at him.
“By the time he testified today, Kyle Rittenhouse had already won the case,” Fox News’ Tucker Carlson said in his opening monologue on Wednesday. “In a move that surprised lawyers everywhere, Rittenhouse took the stand in his own defense. That is unusual in criminal cases, and it’s especially unusual in murder trials, and the reason is simple: The stakes are too high,” Carlson said. “One wrong answer in a cross-examination and you could wind up spending life in prison. But this case was different.”
“At this point, there […]

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
