Kigali: Sign in front of National Memorial to the victims of Genocide in Kigali, Rwanda, Africa. Let me start with two pieces of good news, then pose some unsettling questions.
It is very good news that a court convicted for murder the three white men who hunted down Ahmaud Arbery and killed him . They’d claimed that they were “volunteer deputies” performing a “citizen’s arrest” of a young black man whom they suspected of trespassing and misdemeanor robbery. The jury rightly rejected this effort to put a little lipstick on the pig that was a lynch mob. Some 50 years ago, three white men might well have gotten away with something like that. White juries in the South often voted based on tribalism more than justice — as juries of different ethnic composition today are also tempted to do.
It’s equally good news that Kyle Rittenhouse was entirely vindicated for his actions in the Kenosha, Wisc., riot. He’d turned up to help small business owners save their livelihoods from mobs of white Antifa communists and BLM -led black looters.
Our Stasi media did their best to paint Rittenhouse as a “white nationalist” member of a dangerous “militia” who was fighting for “white supremacy.” There was never any evidence for such life-ruining claims. But they went viral thanks to reporters like Chris Wallace and candidates like Joe Biden. They will haunt the innocent Mr. Rittenhouse for decades, every time he tries to rent an apartment or apply for a job. If leftists like Rep. Jerry Nadler have their way, these false claims will spark a federal civil rights persecution of Rittenhouse. Which is why I advise Kyle to flee while he can to Brazil. Rittenhouse Should Never Have Been Arrested, Much Less Charged
Of course, as Roger Kimball points out , the case should never have gone to trial. Police had high-definition video of three Antifa thugs chasing Rittenhouse and attacking him. He only fired at people who’d threatened his life, pointed a gun at him, clubbed him with a skateboard, and hunted him through the streets. Only the frenzy fed by our […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
