This acquittal isn’t just about Kyle Rittenhouse. This verdict reiterates that every American has the God-given right to self-defense and the protections of the Second Amendment. The corrupt corporate media should be appalled by their coverage of this case from start to finish.
Mr. Rittenhouse was smeared from the very beginning by activists and partisans who falsely branded him as a white supremacist and decided he was guilty before any evidence was produced, all while excusing the illegal actions of violent rioters.
Today the jury made clear that we’re a nation governed by the rule of law, not by mob rule. In the wake of the wildly dishonest reporting by the corporate media, more than a few media outlets can no doubt expect serious defamation lawsuits for their reckless disregard for truth.
I pray that the voices who would tear apart our nation do not succeed in using this verdict as an impetus for yet more horrific violence.

In the last several weeks, networks of NGOs, private citizens, & veterans have worked with Congressional offices to try to evacuate Americans & Afghans who worked with us from Afghanistan.

Today, I want to share just a few stories of the over 1,000 people our team has assisted.
Their stories are powerful and important to share.

For their safety and for the safety of those still trying to get out, we’re not sharing personal info or details about how specifically they escaped.
A Houston family was visiting relatives in Afghanistan when the Taliban seized Kabul. One of the family members was well known to the Taliban for the support provided to the United States, and as a result the entire family was in danger. They are now safely out of Afghanistan.

Fact:

In September 2020, Joe Biden called for mass amnesty and health care benefits for illegal immigrants, signaling to future illegal immigrants that if he became president the doors would be wide open.
Fact:

Per CNN, “U.S. authorities arrested and encountered more than 100,000 migrants on the US-Mexico border over the past four weeks ending on March 3…marking the highest levels for the same time frame in five years.”

From Joe Biden to the advisors he surrounds himself with, the Biden administration has rushed to embrace the worst elements of the Chinese Communist Party.

❌Rejoined the Paris Climate Agreement

❌Rejoined the WHO, an org that has done the bidding of the CCP & covered up COVID
Biden’s pick to run HHS, Xavier Becerra defended the CCP against allegations of human rights abuses claiming that China has a “different perspective” on the issue.

Biden’s pick for CIA, William Burns, was president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace when the think tank received $2 MILLION from a Chinese businessman and a think tank with ties to the CCP.

I’m deeply troubled by the findings published today about the command climate at Ft. Hood and the issues surrounding the atrocious killing of Spc. Vanessa Guillen. ImageImage
The Army owed this investigation to her family and all those who mourn her death, and I’m encouraged that the Army is prepared to implement meaningful change at Ft. Hood and across the entire service.
The problem of sexual assault and harassment in our military is far too often pervasive in our armed forces, which is why I’ve long supported the bipartisan Military Justice Improvement Act.

We are in the midst of a pandemic that has:
-Put 38 million Americans out of work
-Infected over 1.5 million Americans
-Claimed over 93,000 American lives

Where did this pandemic start? #China.
If the Chinese government had acted responsibly and sought the advice of public health professionals instead of silencing them, then it’s possible the #coronavirus could have been contained as a regional outbreak.

Instead, we are now dealing with a deadly pandemic. Image
In the US, China is trying to spread propaganda by:
1⃣Leveraging their enormous market access to coerce Americans into self-censorship
2⃣Purchasing access to cultural & educational centers

With both levers, Chinese officials have 1 objective: to shape what we see, hear & think.

.@SpeakerPelosi's $3 trillion monstrosity is a windfall for her radical liberal agenda, not relief for the workers, families, and job creators hurting from #COVID19.

Here are five of her most radical proposals ⤵️
#1: Bailing out fiscally irresponsible states that racked up huge debts long before the Coronavirus pandemic.
#2: Allowing taxpayer dollars to bail out Planned Parenthood and subsidize abortions.
