Give @AnaKasparian credit for her correction. But if a news personality with her reach was unaware of such an easily- and widely-available fact, what else are people misinformed about? Here are the facts about what happened in Kenosha:
THREAD
@AnaKasparian 1. Kenosha PD receive a domestic violence call involving a man they know has a felony warrant out for sexual assault & domestic violence.
2. Upon arrival, the woman alerts them that the suspect is taking her children, and already has them in his car.
1/x
3. The suspect is armed with a knife.
4. Police try to effect an arrest. He resists. They take him to the ground, but he fights them off and gets up.
5. Police deploy tasers twice, but the suspect rips them out, unaffected.
6. The suspect is still armed with a knife.
7. The vehicle being used by suspect to kidnap the children is not his. He is attempting to steal it.
8. While in physical contact w/police, suspect opens his knife, continues to struggle, tries to enter car.
9. Video/witnesses confirm suspect spun toward cops before being shot.
The above were the circumstances that led the national media & Democratic Party to incite an attack against the town of Kenosha. Now let's talk about the Rittenhouse incident:
10. Rittenhouse crossed state lines, but Kenosha was his nearest town, just across the border.
11. He was in town earlier in the day helping to scrub graffiti from the walls of a school, and stayed to help defend against what everyone knew was an approaching violent assault on the city of Kenosha. The Democrat governor refused requests for the National Guard.
12. Kyle approached the scene of the incident asking whether anyone needed medical attention.
13. The hostile child rapist, Joseph Rosenbaum, began verbally attacking him, and Kyle responded by saying "Friendly! Friendly! Friendly!"
14. Rosenbaum, being a mentally disturbed child rapist, was not placated by Kyle's offers of friendship, so Kyle decided to retreat, running at full speed away from Rosenbaum.
15. Rosenbaum sprints after him, cursing, and throws a bag of stuff at Kyle as others shout "Get him!"
16. A member of the pursuing mob fires a gun behind Kyle.
17. He runs to a knot of vehicles that slows him down, and the child rapist catches him.
18. Kyle turns, with his rifle at low-ready (aimed at the ground), but the child rapist shouts "Fuck you!" and lunges for the weapon.
19. Kyle evades the lunge, but the two are now extremely close. Kyle gets off a few accurate shots at the child rapist.
20. A witness on scene moves to provide medical care, and shouts "Call 911!"
21. Kyle takes out his phone to call 911.
22. By now, the mob is closing on the scene. To avoid another confrontation, Kyle runs away.
23. At least 2 men - convicted violent felon Anthony Huber, and man arrested for being drunk in public w/a gun Gaige Grosskreutz - chase him.
24. Someone else fires 3 shots in the air.
25. Kyle, while retreating from his attackers, trips and falls. Huber closes and swings his skateboard at Kyle's head, then swings again, and is shot.
26. Grosskreutz, armed w/pistol and only 8'-10' away, pretends to surrender, and Kyle, showing incredible restraint, holds fire.
27. When Kyle doesn't shoot Grosskreutz, Grosskreutz attempts to renew the attack, and, Kyle shoots him one time in the arm that is holding the handgun, disabling the arm. Again showing incredible discipline, Kyle does not randomly spray, and it ends w/the arm shot.
The info about the Blake shooting is taken from the Kenosha County & Biden DOJ investigation report. The info on the incident is taken from video confirmed by witness testimony.
If you read that story and think that the victims are the criminal rioters attacking a 17-year-old who came to provide medical care (during a riot incited by media & politicians after an armed criminal was shot while in process of a kidnapping)... You are the problem. /END
This is an accurate correction to #21 above. Rittenhouse called his friend, who told him to go to the police up the road, which Rittenhouse did.

I only make recommendations when they're giving away free money, like Poirier-McG 2 & Lawler-Diaz. But here's my thoughts:

#UFC268 #ufc268picks THREAD
1. Pereira def Michailidis by KO/TKO (-155)
Pereira is a Glory champ who beat Adesanya 2x. UFC is clearly setting up to sell that fight, and wouldn't put him in a fight they didn't think he could win. He's -250 to win, but you can get -155 or so to win by KO/TKO.
2. Edgar def. Vera by DEC (+185)
Maybe I'm just nostalgic, but Vera's wrestling is unimpressive and he's no KO artist. I'd give at least even money that @FrankieEdgar outwrestles Vera to a decision win.

My sympathy for unions largely applies to the private sector. Public sector unions do not negotiate in good faith w/management for fair profit sharing. They buy politicians & finance campaigns to give them what they want, and to take on debt or raise taxes if money runs out.
I make an exception for local police unions. They share many of the same problems as other public sector unions - and gave some unique ones as well - but strong unions seem necessary to protect cops from demagogues & politically-driven witch hunts (it’s a hard question, though).

The 2nd Amendment lives or dies with the AR-15, and defenders shouldn’t run from the “weapon of war” description. The 2nd Amendment means the right of citizens to keep & bear a basic light infantry weapon, or it means nothing at all.
You’re describing the basic strategy of anarcho-tyranny: Allow disorder to spread to shore up support for the security state among regular people even as it’s being mobilized against them.
I’m more worried about the crisis in reading comprehension.

With control over trillions of dollars and America's foreign policy at stake, why WOULDN'T a party steal an election when they know the corporate press won't cover it - actually, will censor all discussion of it - even if they get caught?
Everyone knows political operators are not constrained by ethical considerations. Our elections are absurdly insecure, The only thing ever preventing stolen elections was the difficulty of pulling it off without getting caught. But that guardrail was non-existent in 2020.
100s of untested rule changes before election (e.g, lowering signature matching standard). Unprecedented use of mail-in ballots. Chain of custody problems everywhere. Absurd statistical anomalies. 100s of pollwatcher complaints.

Media: Most secure election LITERALLY IN HISTORY.

An ICBM goes up and back down w/the trajectory of a cannonball. Hypersonics are guided missiles, travel lower in the atmosphere, and are not as fast (ICBMs travel 15k mph+ in terminal, hypersonics run about Mach 5, not quite 4k mph). 1/x
They present different air defense challenges. The difficult part for ICBMs is their sheer speed, which nearly matched the velocity of the explosion & shrapnel of our defending missiles (meaning we usually need a skin-to-skin hit to guarantee destruction). 2/x
OTOH, we know where they’re going because, well, because they’re ballistic. This limits their tactical use - say, for taking out a carrier group in the Indian Ocean. In the time it took to reach the target, the ships could simply run away and the missile couldn’t follow. 3/x
