Sean Krajacic/The Kenosha News via AP, Pool The prosecution has been presenting its closing argument today, and it’s been a festival of false and misleading information.
As we reported earlier, one of the most problematic things was that the prosecutor, ADA Thomas Binger, falsely claimed that you lose the right to self-defense when you bring a gun. Binger: “You lose the right to self defense when you’re the one who brought the gun.” pic.twitter.com/CFD3jcc8jg — Washington Free Beacon (@FreeBeacon) November 15, 2021 This is just flat-out wrong under the law. If it were true, then you could never have a self-defense case, no one who has a gun could ever claim self-defense. And perhaps that’s the aim here — to impugn the right to self-defense with a gun in general. Binger also told them you can’t claim self-defense if the person is unarmed. That’s also untrue.
Why did he say that? He’s trying to make an argument that Rittenhouse provoked the situation, which would then enable him to argue that that self-defense goes away, as we previously reported. But that doesn’t mean that he gets to misstate the law and hoodwink the jury with remarks that are simply not legally true.
But those weren’t the only falsehoods that the prosecution told. Check out this festival of bull from the prosecution’s bullet points for the jury. This is how the prosecution is framing the death of Joseph Rosenbaum. pic.twitter.com/vtA8dfvRJ9 — Townhall.com (@townhallcom) November 15, 2021 It claims that Joseph Rosenbaum, the first man shot and killed, didn’t threaten Rittenhouse or try to take his gun. The prosecutor claimed Rittenhouse fired before Rosenbaum got close.
But Rosenbaum did threaten to kill Rittenhouse, according to the testimony of Ryan Balch, and obviously, did want his gun, which is why he grabbed for it, per witness Richie McGinniss. Those were Binger’s own witnesses who testified to it. So, not only is he not telling the truth but he’s contradicting his own witnesses. Not a good look.
Then there was this hot take. According to Binger, Rittenhouse should have stayed around and helped Rosenbaum and apparently, let the […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
