The young hero of the right-wing may go scot free due to a procedural screw up. It has happened before. Here's the Cliff's Notes version of what has taken place. First, legal experts have opined that the prosecution seems...
It's not surprising that America is in the streets in the era of Donald Trump. He's made it clear since he announced his candidacy that he is not a leader for all people, never intended to be. His arrival...
Shades of Perry Mason. You don't see this everyday. Kyle Rittenhouse was asked to describe the scene leading up to his shooting three people, two of whom died, in Kenosha, Wisconsin during the George Floyd protests. He came unglued...
