We enter into day two of this trial. Darrell Brooks is accused of driving a red SUV into a Christmas parade in Waukesha Wisconsin, killing six people and injuring many more. We'll be watching, analyzing, and laughing at this trial of an unhinged man who chose to defend himself.

The 26-year-old man convicted of killing retired St. Louis Police Captain David Dorn was sentenced to life in prison without parole on Wednesday. Stephan Cannon’s sentencing comes after a jury convicted him in July of fatally shooting Dorn in June 2020. The 77-year-old was responding to a burglary alarm at a friend’s pawn shop during a night of Black Lives Matter rioting when Cannon shot him. Cannon was convicted in July on all of felony charges he faced, including first-degree murder, first-degree robbery, first-degree burglary, stealing $750 or more, unlawful possession of a firearm, and three counts of armed criminal...

The Nation’s Elie Mystal was at it once again Saturday during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Cross Connection.” Mystal reacted to an interview that former President Donald Trump had with radio host Hugh Hewitt earlier in the week, warning of the reaction if he were to be indicted. However, Mystal said that was how “white people” reacted when they didn’t get their way in America.

Pennsylvania Democratic Senate nominee John Fetterman said at one point during his political career that he holds a "Black Lives Matter kind of worldview" and appeared to insist that crime rates in major cities are tied to how much they "don't embrace" the movement, calling the notion "common sense." Fetterman's remarks, offered during an interview with The Pitt News in August 2016, came during his tenure as Braddock mayor after he failed to garner his party's nomination for the Senate earlier that year. "Let me take issue with the anti-establishment," Fetterman said. "I never positioned myself as anti-establishment. In fact,...

Keyon Moore, Zancarrion Johnson, and Kayvus Jones are accused of shooting Officer Jesse Acosta in southwest Memphis, according to a report. Acosta was conducting an investigation when he drove past the group of men on Otsego Drive, according to the Memphis Police Department. After he passed, the men followed him in a stolen Infiniti, police said a witness reported. They followed Acosta and eventually ambushed him, shooting him in the abdomen. The wounded officer was able to escape the...

Carjacking has spiked throughout the United Stated mainly due to the lack of policing in the cities. (excellent review of all the Soros DA/blue cities OUT OF CONTROL!)

Seattle firefighters say they are becoming the targets of violent attacks. There have been more than 40 alleged acts of violence reported in the past four months, according to KOMO. Attacks vary from rocks being thrown at them to firefighters being chased around fire engines by someone with a knife. One female firefighter even reported being slapped and kicked.

Hours after the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade and returned the issue of abortion to the states, abortion activists immediately went into a frenzy and took to the streets across the country in protest. As the night went on, the protests became larger and more out of control. One of the cities that saw mass protests was New York City, where the abortion-loving mobs began marching down the streets of midtown Manhattan. During Fox News at Night's coverage, anchor Shannon Bream who hosts from the Fox News bureau in Washington D.C., went to correspondent Ashley Strohmier who was...

An anti-police Black Lives Matter protester who was hit by a car in a horrific accident as she and fellow Summer of Love activists blocked a freeway is now suing those she believes are responsible for her injuries. For those who know this caliber of the professional protester class, you will not be surprised in the least to learn that Diaz Love, who’s 34 and old enough to know better, takes no responsibility for the incident. Indeed, now that she’s healed up and lawyered up, she’s decided that her injuries suffered while blocking the freeway on a busy Fourth...

This is where independents' inclination to vote Democrat will collapse. Most of us already know how we are going to vote in November. "Use Your Head and Vote Red" is a good answer to the other side's "Vote Blue, No Matter Who." We know in advance how the elections are going to turn out in hardcore Republican and Democratic states and enclaves. We do not expect California or New York to elect Republicans, nor are Wyoming and Idaho likely to elect Democrats. All the other races will, however, be decided by the swing voters who hold the balance of power,...

England’s national football team was roundly booed in Hungary for taking the knee prior to what proved to be a 1-0 loss to the Central European country. The English national side, managed by Gareth Southgate and captained by Harry Kane, has doggedly persisted in carrying out the gesture, derided as virtue-signalling by some and leftist politicisation of football by others, long after players from most other countries — and indeed, English players in other sports — have quietly moved on since the height of the Black Lives Matter unrest in 2020, and it was poorly received in Hungary on June...

It's an incendiary message that first caught drivers' attention almost a year ago: a vanity license plate with an expletive-laced message "FCK BLM", or Black Lives Matter.

SANTA CRUZ – Much was discussed but no decision was made on Thursday by Santa Cruz Superior Court Judge Syda Cogliati regarding restitution for the vandalized Black Lives Matter mural in downtown Santa Cruz. Members of the public were hard-pressed to find an open seat in the courtroom where attorney arguments continued for the two men accused of defacing the Center Street mural last summer. Brandon Bochat, 21, and Hagan Warner, 20, were arrested last July on suspicion of felony vandalism and were later charged with an additional hate crime enhancement and misdemeanor reckless driving.

The Atlanta activist Black Lives Matter has appointed to straighten out its finances has been declared bankrupt three times, was ordered by a court to attend financial management lessons, and has more than $120,000 in unpaid debt. She told The New York Times she had been appointed to straighten out the organization's finances, after BLMGFN faced intense scrutiny over its spending of donor cash. 'No one expected the foundation to grow at this pace and to this scale,' said Gay. 'Now, we are taking time to build efficient infrastructure to run the largest Black, abolitionist, philanthropic organization to ever exist...

The radical activist group Black Lives Matter railed against the “white supremacist” institution of “policing,” decrying its roots in “racism” and “slave patrolling,” while attacking politicians who support “our killers,” in a series of tweets Thursday following President Joe Biden’s signing of an executive order on policing reforms. In the wake of the president’s signing an order intended to improve accountability in policing, the official Black Lives Matter (BLM) Twitter account, which has over one million followers, expressed outrage over the fact that policing continues.

President Joe Biden said the the ‘protests’ in the summer of 2020 unified people of every generation. First of all, they were more like riots than protests. Secondly, the only people they united were the far left radicals doing the rioting. Most people were repulsed by the left’s behavior. Parts of cities were burned or destroyed in other ways. Biden thinks this was unifying? This transcript is directly from the White House: You know, I know events remembering your loved ones, even though they’re meant with great reverence, are really hard. Everything is coming back as if it was —...
