    Yesterday 8 year old Jackson Sparks succumbed to the injuries sustained when he was struck by a vehicle drive by Darrell Brooks. He was the sixth person to die in the Waukesha killing spree. At least 62 other were injured. Brooks was released from custody a couple of days before with a low bail after trying to run over a woman- the mother of his child. Milwaukee DA John Chisolm says it's all worth it. Chisolm, backed by George Soros, has been a champion for criminals for some time. Chisholm has been a leading figure among "progressive prosecutors," leftwing lawmen...

    WAUKESHA, Wis. - The suspect in a Christmas parade crash in suburban Milwaukee that killed six people was in court Tuesday where first-degree intentional homicide charges were filed, a crime that can carry the stiffest penalty possible under Wisconsin law — mandatory life in prison. The prosecutor in the case indicated a sixth count of first-degree intentional homicide will be filed – because they have learned of a sixth death, a child, as a result of the Christmas parade tragedy.

  • The ‘progressive’ and ‘bold reformer’ DA behind Waukesha parade suspect Darrell Brooks’ low bond

    The district attorney facing criticism after the alleged Waukesha Christmas parade crash killer was freed on bond two days before the carnage describes himself as a “bold reformer” and has taken credit for inspiring a wave of “progressive prosecutors” across the US. Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm, who was elected to the position in 2007, has spent his career supporting cash-bail system reform because he argues it criminalizes poverty. Chisholm has long pushed to divert nonviolent offenders away from the prison system with alternate programs, and has spoken previously about reducing the number of incarcerations in Milwaukee County.

    Milwaukee prosecutors are conducting an internal review into their own office’s decision to make an "inappropriately low" bail recommendation for Darrell Brooks Jr., the person of interest in nearby Waukesha after an SUV plowed through a Christmas parade. Brooks has multiple pending cases in Milwaukee County – including a 2020 case involving two counts of second-degree recklessly endangering and being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to a spokesperson for Milwaukee District Attorney John Chisholm. Bail was originally set at $10,000 and later reduced to $7,500, the district attorney’s office said. But due to a court scheduling conflict...

    Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), who is running for the U.S. Senate seat from Alabama, told Breitbart News that he wore a “bulletproof vest” on January 6 due to threats against him from Antifa and Black Lives Matter, saying CBS’s Stephen Colbert and the broader left dishonestly frame his wearing of body armor on that day as evidence of advance knowledge of how the day’s events would unfold at the Capitol. On Tuesday, Colbert referenced a recent attempt by Rolling Stone — relayed by Alabama Local News and the Daily Beast — to link Brooks to violence at the Capitol, regularly...

In her new memoir, Going There, journalist Katie Couric admitted that she edited comments from the now-deceased Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg for her 2016 interview with Yahoo! News to protect her from severe public backlash. The Justice’s crime? Criticizing the national anthem kneelers.

    On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” New York Times columnist David Brooks said that the only way to have a meaningful impact on gun violence is to decrease the number of guns in the U.S., something countries like Australia have done. Brooks said, “[T]he more I look at it, and I’m not alone in this, the more you conclude that the simple problem is we have too many guns in America. There’s upwards of, some estimates, 350 million guns in this country. And so, when you get a lonely young man who’s detached and sociopathic, getting a gun for that person is...

    "This is a great day in our household. This is not a political statement. This is a statement of unity," Brooks said. He wouldn't divulge which songs he was considering playing but added that he won't be playing "We Shall Be Free" as he played it during President Obama's 2008 inauguration. Brooks was also asked to perform during President Trump's 2016 inauguration, but mentioned that he couldn't do it as he had a tour date. Prior to Monday's announcement, Brooks had three dates on his touring calendar, beginning with a Feb. 27 show in Las Vegas, where he's scheduled to...

    “When we have a vote on the House floor, there is no way in the world I’m going to be voting to ratify the Electoral College votes from states where I believe that illegal votes have distorted the will of the people in those states who have cast their votes illegally,” Brooks added. “And we’ll see how that goes. It is not the Supreme Court who decides who is the President of the United States, under the Constitution, it is the Congress who makes that decision.” Such an outcome could force the 50 U.S. House state delegations to determine the...

    At a press conference on Wednesday, Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard, a Democrat, announced charges against former Atlanta Police Officer Garret Rolfe, who shot and killed Rayshard Brooks Friday night outside of a Wendy's restaurant. Rolfe now faces charges that include felony murder and aggravated assault. Police found Brooks intoxicated and passed out in the drive-thru lane. When police tried placing Brooks under arrest, Brooks attacked the officers, stole a taser and used the weapon on police while attempting to escape on foot. These crucial facts were largely absent in Howard's remarks during the press conference, which nitpicked the...
