A Tale of Two Trials

~ Ann Corcoran

You surely can’t have missed the wall to wall coverage of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial where the teenager is accused of killing two Kenosha rioters and wounding a third when he feared they would kill him.

The Wisconsin National Guard has been called out in case he is found to be innocent of the charges filed against him and the thugs have a tantrum and riot again.

Here is just one of many stories in the mainstream media on the sensational trial.

Chemirmir with a few of his alleged victims. The trial tomorrow is for the murder of Lu Thi Harris, a Vietnamese American in the upper left block above.

But there is another trial beginning tomorrow in Dallas, Texas and I am guessing (maybe I will be wrong!) that unless you live in Texas (or read conservative news) the media will be silent when the infamous Billy Chemirmir, a Kenyan we permitted to live among us, will go on trial to face the first of many murder charges against him.

***Update*** Opening day of the Kenyan Killer trial, here.

Chemirmir didn’t use a big scary gun as did Rittenhouse to protect himself, in fact he used pillows to allegedly smother at least 18 defenseless senior citizens, all but one were women, in order to steal their jewelry and other valuables.

For more, see Evil Roaming.

Also, see this series from NBC 5 in Dallas (hope springs eternal that NBC will follow the trial as closely as every outlet has followed the Rittenhouse trial).

Attorney in Billy Chemirmir Case Accused of Solicitation in Smith County

 

There are other dreadful murder and attempted murder cases that didn’t attract any national attention, why?  I think it is because like the Chemirmir case they go against the national media’s narrative that immigrants to America are just here to work hard and have a better life.

And, not to be overlooked is the fact that in most cases the victims of these evil people are often white and elderly.

John Binder reported recently on a case we covered at the time and has reported that Wilbur Ernesto Martinez-Guzman, a 20-year-old illegal alien from El Salvador will be sent away for life (on your dime!) for murdering four older Americans.  No big scary gun, just a smaller gun he stole from the ranch family.

And, not to be overlooked.  A Japanese art instructor at a liberal college pleaded guilty to attempting to kill another professor (not with a scary gun) but by beating her:

She straddled Savoy and punched her on the floor, the prosecutor said. She also used a fire poker, pruning shears, and a rock in the attack. Savoy said Hachiyanagi taunted her repeatedly by telling her she would be blinded, disfigured, then murdered.

So why the extensive media coverage of Rittenhouse and not Hachiyanagi, Martinez-Guzman, or most likely Chemirmir?

You know the answer….

Editor:  Sorry I have not been posting lately.  I will write something from time to time when something catches my eye, or when the unfairness of the media pushes me over the edge as this Chemirmir case has done.  See my tag for Billy Chemirmir for my many many posts on the case.

Fox Will be Eating Crow if Arizona Audit Demonstrates Massive Election Night (Week!) Fraud

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 7 Comments

First, I assume you are all following the news coming out of Arizona about the thorough audit of the disastrous November election.  The best coverage I see is daily (sometimes several times a day) at Gateway Pundit.

Fox News’ behavior on election night and in the days and weeks following the debacle caused me to ditch them in favor of Newsmax and other news sources (I can’t get OANN where I live unfortunately).  And, before I hear from readers, I get most of my news from reading a wide variety of online news outlets.

I have probably watched my once favorite media personality, Tucker Carlson, maybe twice since November.  The second time was the night before last when I just happened to see Carlson’s segment on information coming out of Georgia about the likelihood of fraud there and I fumed—so where have you been Tucker?  (I’ll put that segment at the end of this post if you missed it.).

And, then it occurred to me that perhaps sending Tucker out to report on the likelihood that there was massive fraud (in at least Georgia) allows Fox to try to save itself if a bomb drops and the Arizona certification in favor of Biden turns out to be a big lie with Fox clearly having helped Biden secure victory.

Here is the news from Newsmax that prompted me to think that Fox bigwigs are beginning to cover their asses.

Author Michael Wolfe seems to be a real creep and I have no intention of buying his book, but this sounds plausible to me….

Author: Fox News Gleefully Brought Down Trump

Fox News took glee in shockingly calling Arizona for Joe Biden before any major network, putting an end to Donald Trump’s reelection chances, author Michael Wolff claims in his new book “Landslide.”

Once the favorite news outlet of conservative Americans, Fox turned its back on its right-leaning audience last November when it decided to call Arizona shortly after polls closed — with all other networks, including Newsmax, standing down because the race was “too close to call.”

Trump’s advisers say Fox’s Arizona decision was done to create a sense of inevitability of Joe Biden’s win, limiting Trump’s ability to justifiably contest other close states like Pennsylvania.

In his book, Wolff says Rupert Murdoch, the chairman of Fox News, personally made the Arizona decision and set off a behind-the-scenes firestorm.

According to Wolff, Murdoch’s son Lachlan, the CEO of Fox Corp., was informed of the Arizona bombshell and telephoned his father to ask if Fox should report that Trump had lost the Grand Canyon State.

“His father, with signature grunt, assented, adding, ‘F*** him,'” Wolff wrote.

Next, Wolff reports in his book, Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer called top Trump strategist Jason Miller to inform him the network was kicking Trump to the curb and going ahead with the Arizona call.

Miller rose from his seat, shouting “What the f***?” Wolff writes.

But despite pressure from the Trump administration to retract the Arizona call, Fox refused.

Fox News has called Wolff’s claims of Murdoch’s involvement “wildly inaccurate” and “completely false.”

Wolff also asserts that Murdoch hated Trump, despite Fox’s support of him.

“Trump just made his skin crawl. But then, partly because of Fox News, Trump became the president of the United States, and Murdoch was forced to essentially suck up to him,” Wolff told Der Spiegel. “That was incredibly painful to Murdoch.”

More insider intrigue here, then this:

Democrat (smug) James Murdoch and wife.

James Murdoch has told members of the press that he and his Democrat siblings will someday control Fox News and plan on re-making it into establishment media.

I am done with Fox News.

Of course watch whatever you wish, but consider whether you want to enrich the Murdoch’s any further.

Here is Gateway Pundit praising Tucker for at least touching on the subject of the massive election fraud everyone with a brain knows took place.

Sorry if I am a cynic on the subject of Tucker, but I think he is their tool to begin to get ready for what I think will ultimately happen—that they will have to admit that they were wrong when they called Arizona for dementia Joe.

By sending Carlson out now on the subject, they will be able to say to faithful viewers that they did in fact report on the massive 2020 election fraud (more than six months too late!).

Here is Tucker’s report:

Pollster Frank Luntz Says Trump is Fading Fast and Increasingly Irrelevant

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 7 Comments

“… it’s his own damn fault for the situation that he is in.”

(Frank Luntz, special friend to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy)

That would be the now laughing stock Republican pollster Frank Luntz who Tucker Carlson exposed in a couple of recent segments on his Fox News program.

But, watch Luntz gain relevance as the Leftwing corporate media uses him to bash Trump and any politicians supporting him.

See my post:

Tucker Carlson Revelation: House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy Lives with Creepy Pollster Frank Luntz

 

The Blaze on the latest wet kisses to Luntz from the anti-Trump media:

Frank Luntz says social media bans are Trump’s ‘own damn fault,’ predicts ‘with every passing month he’ll become less and less relevant’

Longtime Republican pollster and political strategist Frank Luntz slammed Donald Trump on Thursday, predicting his influence would quickly fade and arguing that the former president brought on the bans from various social media platforms by his own actions.

Luntz v. Trump

Luntz made the remarks while speaking on the New York Times podcast, “Sway,” with host Kara Swisher just minutes after Facebook’s oversight board upheld the platform’s decision to restrict Trump’s access following the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

During the interview, the pollster claimed that Trump, though at the moment still influential, will never be able to affect politics in the same way given his lack of access to social media platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter, and his displacement from the Oval Office.

“He’ll never engage in the way he did before, because he simply doesn’t have that capability,” Luntz argued. “He can’t hop on Air Force One. He cannot dominate the news coverage. He can get a sliver of it. And he will continue to do so. He’s not going away.

“That said, it just doesn’t move people the way that it used to,” he continued. “And with every passing month, he’ll become less and less relevant.”

Later in the interview, Luntz proclaimed that “Donald Trump has no one but himself to blame” regarding his indefinite removal from social media platforms.

Is Luntz whispering this to his roomy? 

Apparently in that same interview,  propagandist Luntz says that if Trump keeps saying the 2020 Election was a “Big Lie,” that it was indeed stolen, it will cost the Republicans the House in 2022.

This post is filed in my Political Rats category!

Why is anyone listening to looney Luntz?  And, especially why would Kevin McCarthy, the wannabe Speaker of the House, be cohabitating with this weirdo?

How on earth can we trust McCarthy’s judgement after you have a look at the video below.

Luntz, a REPUBLICAN (supposedly), has a million dollar replica of the Oval Office in his California home, and brags about using the cost of the remodeling as a tax deduction.

Luntz’s ego seems to be as fat as his head.  (I don’t make a habit of attacking anyone for their looks and lifestyle, but I am making an exception for Luntz.)

 

By the way, who needs Facebook and Twitter!

P.S.  Let me know if you see news about McCarthy moving out of Luntz’s DC pad.

Trump’s Loyal Aide Stephen Miller Launches Legal Group to Sue Biden Administration

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 3 Comments

If you followed my other blog RRW over the Trump years, you know that the Leftwing NO-borders groups and the refugee contractors sued Trump for every move he made to limit immigration and attempt to reform refugee resettlement policy.

Fighting back! Stephen Miller, 36, wants to make the Biden team miserable…

Now, Stephen Miller, surely one of the few aides outside the President’s own family who was with Trump from the campaign (joined the campaign in January 2016) and through all four years of the administration is launching a new legal outfit to sue Biden on immigration and to defend a whole host of other America First policies.

You can read a boring version of the news at Politico which argues that there are plenty of rightwing legal outfits (there are not!) so why create another one, or read a progressive slam at Miller here yesterday at something called laughably The American Independent.

White nationalist Trump adviser now working with GOP to sue Biden over immigration

 

(Editor:  Just know that they wore out the word “racist” so anyone who believes in America First is called a “white nationalist.” Get used to it!)

Stephen Miller’s new group is advising states that are suing the Biden administration to block its policies.

Stephen Miller, a white nationalist and senior aide in the Trump White House, is working behind the scenes through his organization America First Legal to assist Republican attorneys general who are suing the Biden administration over immigration issues.

Miller was responsible for designing some of the Trump administration’s key policies targeting immigrants, including the separation of immigrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border and the ban on travelers from Muslim-majority countries entering the United States.

Appearing on “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday, Miller disclosed his group’s work behind the scenes.

“My organization has been working with several of the states that are now suing the Biden administration over their lawless and reckless policies, including, for example, the states of Texas and Arizona,” said Miller.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing the Biden administration over what he and Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt call President Joe Biden’s “arbitrary and capricious decision” to rescind Donald Trump’s “remain in Mexico” policy of forcing immigrants seeking asylum to stay in the country in possibly dangerous conditions until their claims were processed.

Mark Brnovich, Arizona’s attorney general, is suing the Biden administration for halting construction of Trump’s wall on the U.S. southern border and having “embarked on multiple environmentally disruptive policies without performing even cursory environmental analysis.”

Miller announced the launch of America First Legal on April 7, telling the Wall Street Journal that in addition to fighting the policies of the Biden administration, the group plans to oppose police reform and challenge tech companies and other businesses whose positions run counter to those held by conservatives.

In addition to the child separation policy and the ban on Muslims coming into the country, while in the White House Miller also zealously pursued policies to severely limit the number of refugees who could enter the United States.

 

Here Oliver Willis, the American Independent reporter, attempts to make fun of Miller but instead shows his ignorance of history as he reports on the time Miller schooled CNN’s Jim Acosta on the Statue of Liberty.

 

Don’t let anyone use the Emma Lazarus scam on you! See my 2015 post at RRW where I reported on the history of the poem which was added to the statue later. These Leftwing propagandists are dumb, or devious, or both! https://refugeeresettlementwatch.org/2015/07/31/dont-let-them-use-the-lady-liberty-b-s-anymore-remove-the-poem/

Asked by reporter Jim Acosta in 2017 whether his anti-immigrant policies violated the spirit of Emma Lazarus’ poem “The New Colossus,” with its exhortation, “Give me your tired, your poor/Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,” attached to the base of the Statue of Liberty, Miller argued against the statue as a symbol of welcome, saying, “The Statue of Liberty is a symbol of liberty and light in the world. It’s a symbol of American liberty lighting the world. The poem that you’re referring to that was added later is not actually part of the original Statue of Liberty.”   

Yup, Miller was right.  Jim Acosta and reporter Willis are ignorant.  Willis goes on….

Miller’s white nationalist views were evident before he worked for Donald Trump.

Tangle Chairman Joe’s team in legal knots!  Turnabout is fair play and I, for one, love it!

If you wondered where I was yesterday, I was busy at RRW on a post that couldn’t wait until my weekly round-up.  See that Biden has the refugee contractors in a tizzy because he is on target to admit a lower number of refugees than Trump ever did.

Biden is on Track to Admit Fewer Refugees Than Trump

Pentagon to Root-Out White Extremists, but Silence on Black Man in Recent Shooting

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 1 Comment

I’ve been checking every day or so to see if there is news, any news, on the Navy medic, Fantahun Girma Woldesenbet, who attempted to kill two fellow Navy men in Frederick, Maryland a week ago.

I figured by today the military would be ready to report a motive for the attempted murder of a white Corpsman and a Hispanic Corpsman, but nothing.

Speculation is that since the shooter’s name is common in Ethiopia that he is an immigrant from Africa either directly or as first generation. But, we will likely never hear any further information because the shooting does not fit the media narrative.

 

We don’t know much more than what was reported in the day or so after the attack. Was new American Woldesenbet on a mission, or was he (just) a nutcase?

And, it took a day for a photo of the shooter to be released—released by Frederick Police—not directly by the Navy. Perhaps they were forced to release it because people were sending photos of other black men around on social media claiming they were Corpsman Woldesenbet.

From Heavy.com:

Fantahun Girma Woldesenbet Photo: Frederick Police Release First Picture of Shooting Suspect

 

Frederick Police released the first photo of shooting suspect Fantahun Girma Woldesenbet this afternoon, the day after they say he shot two Navy sailors and was fatally gunned down at Fort Detrick.

Woldesenbet, a U.S. Navy hospital corpsman, allegedly wounded two people at a military installation about 10 minutes from Fort Detrick, a U.S. Army base where he worked Tuesday, April 6, 2021. He was shot and killed at the base when officials said he fled a stop at a checkpoint and brandished a gun at about 8:45 a.m. He was 38 and lived in Frederick. The two injured victims survived.

More here,  but there isn’t much.  Seems the story is being dropped down the memory hole.

And, maybe that is because the military is busy, busy, busy attempting to root- out the white supremacists Biden and Harris are sure are hiding within the ranks.

Meanwhile, only days after the Maryland shooting, the Pentagon’s new chief says the hunt is on for the extremists, an undertaking clearly inspired by the January 6th demonstration at the Capitol.  The Biden cabal believes they are insurrectionists.

I would like to know someday if Fantahun Girma Woldesenbet is an extremist of some stripe, but we will likely never know.

From Newsmax:

Defense Secretary Memo Addresses Extremism in US Military

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin III signed a memo on Friday in which he calls for “immediate actions” to weed out “extremist behavior” in the military.

Defense Secretary Austin’s mission: “…combat this scourge.”

The new orders come after Austin spoke with advisers and reviewed the results of the Defense Department-wide stand down issued in early February.

The memo said, “The vast majority of those who serve in uniform and their civilian colleagues do so with great honor and integrity, but any extremist behavior in the force can have an outsized impact.”

A study begins today!

Austin has commissioned a study “on extremist behavior within our Total Force, to include gaining greater fidelity on the scope of the problem.” And this group will meet around April 14 and be given 90 days to submit their “recommendations for medium-range and long-range plans to combat this scourge” to Austin.
