Report: Wisconsin man admits to firing first shots on the night of the Kyle Rittenhouse shooting

The shot fired by Ziminski was a pivotal moment in the evening and may have played a key role in the violent events of that night. As noted by the New York Times, which exhaustively reviewed available footage of Rittenhouse from that evening, Rittenhouse appears to have been fleeing an increasingly agitated mob of protesters until he was cornered in the lot of a car dealership. Video taken of the shooting appears to show that right before Rittenhouse shot and killed Rosenbaum, there was a nearby muzzle flash and gunshot sound from the same direction that Rosenbaum was charging.


Comment on another forum: If it was a warning shot only, it got Rittenhouse to look as see Rosenbaum charging him, allowing Rittenhouse to defend himself.

Hunter Biden introduced Burisma adviser to VP dad before Ukraine pressure, email shows

Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company, according to emails obtained by The Post.

The never-before-revealed meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma, allegedly sent Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015, about a year after Hunter joined the Burisma board at a reported salary of up to $50,000 a month.

“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,” the email reads.


Comment: If this were Trumps family, CNN would be running this non stop along with MSNBC and the rest of the media. I bet it will not be brought up at the debate by the moderator. Trump will have to do it.

Fascism is when, OVER NIGHT , because Mazie "shut up men" Hirono accuses Amy Coney Barrett of being prejudice because she once used the word Sexual Preference, Websters Dictionary adds to their webpage of the term: "The term sexual preference as used to refer to sexual orientation is widely considered offensive in its implied suggestion that a person can choose who they are sexually or romantically attracted to. " and the term is now labeled as offensive.

The digital age could be the downfall of America. What if a foreign country like China bought up all the dictionary companies? Anybody check lately? Maybe they already have.

Does defining words and attaching one sides identity politics and social justice to words change peoples perception of reality?

@sebastiantombs,
Starship Troopers is one of my favorites, about as dogeared as my copy of Langguth's Patriots, and still we need to defeat the bugs out there lining up against us.

It seems like the draft was ending about the time you would have been called. Did you get a high number or did you miss it altogether?

I always considered it my privilege to serve. My only regret is not bashing the anti-war hippie with the 'baby killer' sign he was shaking at me on my way out of Travis AFB coming home from RVN.

McEnany claims Twitter holding her 'at gunpoint' until she deletes New York Post's Hunter Biden report
'This is not how a freedom-loving democracy operates,' White House press secretary tells 'Hannity'

This election and the current MSM has me thinking more and more about the movie, 'The Running Man', how the media ran the government and the country. How close/far are we from that turning point?

Excellent perspective. Thanks for sharing that.
I know right, one of the best vids I have seen this year. I think the whole world today is way out of perspective...
Every time I watch the video I always think of my parents and grandparents and all of what they went through...My Grandfather was born in 1911 and my Grandmother in 1913, they both went through all of that was shared in this video.


I am not down playing this Pandemic, losing our loved ones is very hard, I lost both of my parents this year (Thank God not to Covid), but when you look at the numbers of this virus that has been in the world's population for almost a year now, there is no comparison to deaths from other viruses like the Spanish Flu, Polio, Small Pox, etc.

More proof of what Paul Harvey stated 45 years ago about the Media...

You know what gets me about these companies, Twitter, Facebook, etc. is they have all stated they are not the Media yet they continue to do this time and time again. Social Media should not be bias!!!
