Kenosha County Judge Bruce Schroeder was very frustrated by the prosecution in the case against Kyle Rittenhouse today. The defendant took the stand in his own defense after the prosecution clearly failed to present their case. Even the prosecution’s own witnesses affirmed the accused was acting in self-defense.

A desperate prosecution appears to prefer a mistrial in lieu of a most likely acquittal, by attempting today to introduce evidence against the accused. Judge Schroeder was furious at the prosecution for refusing to adhere to pretrial rulings.

There have been many people wondering why Kyle Rittenhouse would want to take the stand in his own defense given the weakness of the prosecution case. However, for those who remember the trial of George Zimmerman, the motive of Rittenhouse is not that difficult to see.

The case against George Zimmerman was just as weak and politically motivated as the case against Rittenhouse. Zimmerman was acquitted by the jury quickly, in part because a self-defense case was so clear and in part because the prosecution case was maliciously constructed and fraught with lies.

Like Zimmerman, the Rittenhouse case was similarly constructed for media and political use.  It is a political trial with no basis in truth to the pretrial narrative.

During a speech in Jacksonville earlier today, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis discussed some of the potential state actions that can be taken to block the distribution of illegal aliens into the state.

Joe Biden has been sending covert flights of illegal alien border crossers into Florida in the late night hours.  Governor DeSantis is now looking at punitive damages, or state level punishment, against the private sector contractors who are facilitating the transport.  Additionally, DeSantis noted one potential solution would be for Florida state law enforcement to put the illegal aliens onto chartered buses and sending them to Joe Biden’s home state of Delaware.

“I of course accept the results. I want to congratulate Mr. Durr and wish him the best of luck,” Steve Sweeney said during a speech at the statehouse complex Wednesday. “It was a red wave” that took him out of office, he said.

Steve Sweeney has served as New Jersey Senate President since 2010, and was responsible for walking Democrat Governor Phil Murphy’s radical progressive agenda and totalitarian COVID rules through the Legislature.  However, the district voters had enough, dispatched him and replaced him with a truck driver who spent a little more than $2,300 bucks in the contest.

On Monday July 19, 2021, the White House occupant declared that inflation was temporary and would be “transitional”.  Current economists now refute that claim, as inflation continues to escalate at an alarming pace.   In July Joe Biden said (transcript):

“Now, I want to be clear: My administration understands that if we were to ever experience unchecked inflation over the long term that would pose real challenges to our economy. So while we’re confident that isn’t what we are seeing today, we’re going to remain vigilant about any response that is needed.”

Joe Biden was asked a follow-up question after his remarks:

Q Yes, thank you, Mr. President. At what point would you consider inflation unchecked to a point at which you would either consider taking action or you would want to see the Fed take action?

To wit Joe Biden responded:

THE PRESIDENT: “Yeah. There’s nobody suggesting there’s unchecked inflation on the way — no serious economist. That’s totally different”. (link)

Yesterday, data on the wholesale “Producer Prices” was released showing an 8.6 percent increase in prices for final demand products {DATA HERE}.  That is the increase in cost within the system of bringing products to market.

Today, the “Consumer Price” data was released showing a massive 6.2 percent increase in prices {DATA HERE} for goods that are currently available for sale.  The overall rate of inflation is now 6.2% year-over-year.

When you overlay inflation atop wage growth, the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) report now shows a decrease in “real wages” of 1.6 percent {DATA HERE}, which is the increase in weekly pay minus the additional costs to buy stuff.   The working class is losing ground rapidly.   Things are ugly and they are fixin’ to get uglier.

Before getting to the part where we can explain exactly how much more we can predict to pay for current products in 90 days (yes, that approximation is possible), first lets look at the actual data on the current inflation rate for products we are buying today.  [Table 2] is the easiest reference for category specific review.

Overall, the prices for groceries (food at home) went up 1.1% in October and 5.4% for the year.   However, several products in the supermarket have jumped massively. Beef jumped 1.9% for the month and is 20.1% higher overall.  Bacon went up 2.1% for the month and is now 20.2% higher for the year.  All processed foods increased at a rate about four times higher than fresh unprocessed foods.

Fuel oil went up 12.3% in October and is now 59.1% higher for the year.  Unleaded regular gasoline went up 3.9% in October and is now 51.3% higher for the year. Piped natural gas went up 6.3% for the month and is now 28.1% higher for the year.  Used vehicles are now 26% higher than last year, and new cars went up roughly 10%.  You can scroll down Table-2 to see each category (second and third columns show year and monthly increases).  It’s unnerving to see the scale of inflation while knowing it will get worse.

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

~ Mike Vanderboegh

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Against catastrophic outcomes, we have been pointing out how the people within the Biden administration are not incompetent; they know exactly what they are doing, and they are destroying the U.S. economic system on purpose.  All of their economic damage is by design, it’s a feature – not a flaw.

An example today is so demonstrative of that point, it’s almost a parody. Joe Biden’s nominee for the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), a branch of the Treasury Department that polices some 1,125 banks, is a communist ideologue named Saule Omarova. She is directly from communist central casting and literally from Kazakhstan in the former Soviet Union. Ms. Omarova graduated from Moscow State University in 1991, and Joe Biden nominated her for the OCC job in September.

Today, Ms. Omarova is caught on tape saying it is the intent of the Biden administration to use the treasury department to bankrupt oil, coal and natural gas companies. This is what happens often with avowed ideologues; they are so focused on their mission to destroy the U.S., they often just say the stuff out loud. WATCH:

.

The FIRST STEP in defending against this onslaught is to stop excusing it by saying they don’t know what they are doing, or any version of the incompetency argument. They know exactly what they are doing.

Comrades, Emerald Robinson is a journalist who works for Newsmax as a White House corespondent.  However, Emerald Robinson is also a free thinker who challenges communal orthodoxy and rebels against groupthink.  In short, Mrs. Robinson is a subversive voice who refused to correct her thoughts and become a stenographer for the regime.

As a result of her failure to comply with the correct thinking necessary for good citizenship, her employer, Newsmax, has suspended her tenure.  Apparently Mrs. Robinson did some research into the COVID-19 vaccination ingredients and posted her results in a substack article {SEE HERE}.

The Ministry of COVID Compliance was not happy with Mrs. Robinson and requested she attend further re-education {SEE HERE}.

The compliance division of Thought, Wellness, Information, Transitional Training and Enhanced Re-education (aka ‘TWITTER’), attempted to control the public broadcast of wrongthink and suspended her account.  Unfortunately, dissident Robinson remained non-compliant and initial re-education efforts failed to produce the intended results {SEE HERE}.

The monitors within the Thought, Wellness, Information, Transitional Training and Enhanced Re-education platform were forced to make the subversive suspension permanent, thereby ensuring the wrongful expressions did not create collateral damage or extend the transmission of unapproved vaccine information {SEE HERE}.

Watching what happens in the orbit of the January 6th Committee is how we can tell which Republicans are part of the UniParty in Washington DC, and who is willing to stand for the freedom of our republic.   Watching the Republican party as a whole; watching who stands against this committee effort; and watching who is actively or willfully blind in their alignment with the J6 objective, is a key *tell*.

The DC apparatus -writ large, but especiallly the Fourth Branch operators- viewed candidate Donald J. Trump, and President Trump, as a risk.  Donald Trump was always an existential threat to a corrupt U.S. government system that contains both Democrats and Republicans in the ranks of the power system.  That viewpoint is why former Obama campaign manager David Plouffe famously outlined the objective in the run up to the 2016 election (check the date):

Plouffe, who had moved on to become an executive with Uber at the time, used the false allegations of racism and labels like “nativist” to trigger the Democrat and left-wing foot soldiers.   The accusations against Trump were always strategic, and the media allies were willing to assist.  However, the real issue the system feared more than anything else was the economic nationalism that Donald Trump carried in his policy proposals.

After eight years of the Obama team attempting to destroy nationalism in favor of globalism, their response to Trump’s “America First” popularity made sense.  Donald Trump was positioned to deconstruct almost a decade of Obama-era policy which was specifically intended to diminish American value, economically and socially.

The far-left was in a state of panic; however, it was a panic felt by both the Republicans and Democrats in Washington DC.   Politicians within the UniParty were direct financial beneficiaries from the Wall Street multinational corporate strategies which underpinned Obama’s economic outlook.
