Kyle Rittenhouse: A Name That Will Live in Infamy


Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart 

If you shot and killed two men, and injured another with the use of a military assault rifle, although they were unarmed, what do you think would happen? I’ll make this easy, “kiss your ass good-by.” 

However, if you joined a group of Neo-Nazis who were harassing a group of peaceful Black Lives Matter protestors, and were verbally chastised by supporters, things might be different. This is what occurred in August of 2020 in Kenosha Wisconsin. 

America is now a Nation Without Laws 

A trial was held in 2021. A very biased jury acquitted Rittenhouse of two counts of first- degree murder, supporting his claim of “self-defense.” 

Rittenhouse, now 21-years-old, was invited to speak at the University of Memphis Wednesday. I see no reason to invite anyone who got away with murder to speak at one of our nation’s universities. However, he accepted the invitation. During his address, he was confronted by a student who protested Rittenhouse’s appearance. He asked the young man why he obviously admired “Turning Point’s” Charlie Kirk, a well-known white supremacist. 

As the discussion became heated, Rittenhouse stormed off the stage. 

Why is Trump Allowed to Speak by the Mainstream Media? 

There is no difference between this situation and a Donald Trump hate rally. Trump is guilty of multiple felonies, has nothing of substance to say, and yet his supporters cheer wildly as the obese, old, orange man mumbles and stumbles on the stage. 

Why Does the Media allow America’s Enemies to Speak? 

The Fourth Estate died along with the Republican Party in 2017. All networks have chosen to follow Fox News, placing profits from advertising revenue ahead of doing the right thing and telling the whole truth. If you believe everything you see and hear on television, you are as evil as those who would destroy our country.  

Rittenhouse is a poster boy for Trump’s supporters. Is this what America should be in the 21st century?

The Real Victims in the Trump Saga

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s defense strategy has changed, slightly. He claims that all of his legal battles are founded in political strategy, created by his enemies. He is playing the role of a victim. I guess part of Trump’s decline in mental acuity is a severe loss of memory. He appears to forget that many of the crimes he is accused of began long before he made the mistake of seeking the presidency. Others, including his insurrection on January 6, and stolen classified documents are actions witnessed by every American. We are not falling for your bullshit, Donnie Boy. THE REAL VICTIMS A brief look at Trump’s history reveals a life of crime. From bribing public officials, and refusing to pay contractors, to allegations of physical, sexual assault, the orange buffoon left a long trail of victims. As your illegitimate president, he violated the basic human rights of thousands. According to medical experts, Trump’s failure to take timely action to prevent an oncom...

Aileen Cannon: A Corrupt Judge Appointed by a Lifelong Criminal

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Aileen Cannon is a federal judge, appointed by Donald Trump. She has been charged with one of the most important cases involving Trump’s life of crime; his theft of classified documents when he was evicted from the White House on January 20, 2021. Yesterday she gave Trump a gift by delaying his upcoming trial. The events which followed prove that he violated the Espionage Act of 1917. He is also guilty of lying to the FBI, a federal crime. Before the raid on Mar-a-Lago, when they discovered boxes of national secrets hidden throughout the millionaire’s playpen, he claimed that he had returned all of them. TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS: LIES, MISDIRECTION, BASELESS ATTACKS You might have noticed that Trump, his failed party, and his supporters constantly lie about everything. There is undeniable proof that the only attempted fraud in the 2020 election can be attributed to Trump supporters. The 91 indictments against Trump are not a “witch hunt:” I have ...

Lindsey Graham has Become a Whiny Little Bitch

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Before Senator John McCain’s death in 2018, Lindsey Graham was a somewhat rational man. It seems that the Senator from Arizona kept the little man from South Carolina in line, and influenced him to do the right thing most of the time. However, almost immediately after Senator McCain lost his battle with cancer, Graham began to offer his allegiance to the man his closest friend despised. I will always wonder why? Senator McCain was a man with principles and integrity. Trump is a man filled with hatred and cares only for himself. The reality is that Graham is now a man without morals who supports a man he knows is opposed to everything loyal Americans like John McCain stood for. A CORRUPT SUPREME COURT, FIVE MEN AND FOUR WOMEN, COULD BRING AN END TO THE DREAM OF OUR FOUNDING FATHERS No sane human being can deny that just before the 2020 election Moscow Mitch McConnell stacked the Supreme Court with three additional justices who are politically bias...
