My younger son shot this one before I even got into my tree stand this morning.

The MSM and the leftist pimps that drive them on are never gonna shut up or stop their jhad against this republic until their voice is so small it can’t be heard. ANTIFA and BLM are just their thug troops. Some of them got their shadows removed from the earth here. Kyle Rittenhouse made Kenosha, Wisconsin, the USA, and the world a better place by defending himself that sad evenin. That said; a victory for civilization and the people of this republic was won when this verdict was rendered. There are plenty of billionaires and millionaires driving this jhad; not to mention those 60s hippie sons and daughters of Satan in tenured positions in academia. Until we go after them, this ain’t goin away… We are dividing more n more, and the chasm is just gettin wider… Vote n buy more ammo… leroy…

Unfortunately, this is not a new phenomenon, and it's certainly not confined to the left. You can find plenty of historical examples of news media frenzy about black people charged with crimes against whites. (In fact, this was one of the early tools used to promote gun control laws in the US.) Right here in Tennessee we have the example of Edward Carmack, the editor of the Nashville Tennessean in the early 1900s, who spoke and wrote approvingly of lynching blacks. Think the Tennessean would publish anything like that today? Of course not. Some in the news media have always tried to influence the outcome of trials and public reaction to verdicts. Don't be fooled into believing that we're seeing something unusual.

I spent the last 3 weeks watching/listening to a solid 3/4 of the proceedings via the Rekieta stream. It was an excellent and extremely illuminating insight into this case in specific and the legal system as a whole. For me the biggest takeaway is that if the prosecution was willing to go that far and engage in such blatant misconduct when the cameras were on, what are they getting away with when the cameras are off? It was really quite sickening.

Just another thing that’s factually incorrect. They were assailants. Kyle Rittenhouse was found not guilty on the grounds of self defense. That means he was defending himself from assailants and he was the victim of their violent assaults.

The majority of the news media are certainly on the side of the political left, but it's a misunderstanding to believe they all are. News media on the side of the right do exist, they're just outnumbered: Newspapers -- there's the Washington Times and the New York Post; television -- there's Fox News and OAN. When you get to online sites it's more balanced -- there's a ton of right-leaning online media sites, and they range from thoughtful and well-reasoned to screaming hysterical tin-foil-hat conspiracists. As with all information provided by the news media, the consumer's best approach is to sample widely with extreme skepticism, use your critical thinking skills, and make your own decisions.

Anything is possible, but I don't see him becoming another Zimmerman. Their cases and situations are vastly different. Zimmerman's was a lot murkier and there wasn't quite the obvious slant and slander by MSM (although he was the first "white Hispanic" I have ever heard of). Hopefully, Rittenhouse has some good guidance in the near future. I don't see a problem with him going on a couple radio shows and sitting down with Hannity on TV for a few minutes. I do hope he sues the dogsh*t out of MSM for two reasons--I hope he becomes independently wealthy, but more importantly, the leftist MSM's ability and eagerness to push misinformation and blatant lies to sway the national mood or opinion needs a serious bitchslapping. Rittenhouse is in a position to do just that.

Yes, but it was while a candidate and in a public medium, so slander applies.

Easier to predict the future when its in the past

Then that should include Joe Biden. He called him a white supremacist a few days after the arrest.

No, you sue everyone who defamed you by calling you a murderer, white supremacist, etc without being found guilty by a jury of your peers.

Sent this to my son early this morning. He was supposed to join me today but his schedule wouldn’t allow. I tend to get sarcastic when I haven’t gotten enough sleep and things aren’t going well. Opening morning report: Off work 11:00pm previous night. In bed by midnight. Up at 4:00am. Feeling of approximately negative-6 hours of sleep. Left house approximately 3.6 months later. Drove to hunting area. Parked and walked remaining distance to stand. Temperature 30 degrees. Wind blowing out of the N, S,E,W,NW,NE,SW,SE. Approximate wind speed 751.395 MPH. Next objective: Drink coffee. Saw a couple bucks about two weeks ago while I was up here working, but I’ve only seen 4 does today. Trying to hang out til afternoon but this wind is aggravating. Anyone had any luck so far?

My good buddy and fellow member bigun has been having some mobility problems that were getting progressively worse lately. He and I usually touch base via text or phone on a daily basis but he dropped off the radar a couple of weeks ago. I got a message from his daughter about four days later telling me he was in the hospital and was improving so decided to wait until I knew more before posting anything. He is now out of the hospital and in a rehab facility so he's still making progress. I'm sure he would appreciate any prayers, well wishes or any other encouragement sent his way. The facility just lifted their 'no visitor' policy this week so I was able to pay him a short visit yesterday.

Saw several does and a couple of baby spikes, along with a flock of turkeys. I spent the entire day in the stand and didn’t see one shooter buck. Wife wondered why I didn’t take some does. I told her if you’re like me and NOT an expert hunter the best chance for a buck is early season. I’d like to get a buck or two before I start taking does. Going to try again tomorrow morning Lord willing.

He didn’t. That’s why I don’t get facts from or spread memes. A good majority of them are BS.

I had 5 deer and zero coyotes all day.

Show 'em this....................

I'll be honest, if someone dropped napalm on several hundred antifa, I'd be concerned about the business nearby catching on fire.

I didn’t get out since I got one in muzzleloader season. Buddy killed a nice 10 pt he has been after for awhile.

This was my first stab at a flap holster as well as my first try at lacing. You'll notice an extra hole as I severely misjudged where the snap should be. Frustrating, but trial and error is about the only way a hard headed guy like me can learn.

In typical liberal fashion, the left and MSM are now playing the race card. Now its all about the inequality of justice between blacks and whites in this country. They're now saying that Rittenhouse got off because he's white. If he had been black, he would have been convicted. ect and so on. One way or another the liberal left is bound and determined to cause as much trouble and unrest as possible. I think they actually want riots. JMHO: but I believe that if Rittenhouse had been black, he never would have been charged.

This subject was raised a few months back and I was educated and corrected by more knowledgeable members here on the law regarding it. You only need the correct form if you were going to transfer it In a title II status. Removing the stock and replacing it in a brace returns into a title I status and means that you can travel across state lines with it freely. An SBR is only treated as an SBR when it is configured as an SBR. Changing the configuration changes the way it is treated under the law.

You already cited the example of William Randolph Hearst, who specialized in telling outright lies about people and policies and bears much personal responsibility for the Spanish-American War, so it's clear that there is nothing new about lying national news media. The scope of the lying is larger because the scope of news media is larger, but claiming that the lying itself is new or unique is simply incorrect.

Anyone who shoots a rioter for ANYTHING is going to get charged these days. Doesn't matter the circumstances, the shooter IS going to get charged. Hell, the idiot lawyers in St. Louis didn't even fire their guns (the woman's wouldn't even work & the DA had the cops fix it, an illegal act itself) & they got charged & plea bargained to lower charges AND lost their guns. These thugs & punks are fully Dimocrat-supported AND shielded. Never forget that as we go about our holiday travels to enemy territory, gents. Video everything if you're involved in something. Videos are the only thing that saved Rittenhouse as ALL the prosecution witnesses lied under oath. ALL of them. Something to keep in mind.

One of which is a convicted male-child rapist. All of whom attacked Rittenhouse repeatedly.

You may have read what you claim but you "knew" nothing of the sort. I also note it's easy to claim you "knew" something after the fact of it happening.

The single most disturbing thing about the reaction of the liberal elite is that they seem to want to abandon our system of trial by jury. Mayor De Blasio of New York City called the verdict a miscarriage of justice. It seems that many on the left want trial by public opinion rather than a jury trial. Since the results of this trial went against their wishes, the trial was unjust. We're seeing more and more of this, with people being pilloried in the press and by elected officials who are supposed to uphold the constitution. I find it frightening.

I’m really hoping that this red pills a lot of folks who didn’t pay a whole lot of attention while prosecutors pulled this kind of #### on folks from the other end of town because “they were probably guilty of something”. They can and will go after y’all just the same if’n they decide it’s what they want to do.

I use a sled, and so far no issues, but I don't strap it down, it just rests on the sled, and after I'm zeroed, I confirm on a bag.

@DanielThe major news outlets have definitely been portraying a one sided and inaccurate narrative as to the facts of the case. That said, I do think that the fact that you are familiar with firearms and self defense concepts and laws allowed you to see the obvious in that he was legally justified in his actions. So while you may be able to see the facts, someone else of a particular worldview and without that same foundational grounding may only see the emotional narrative. Then maybe the folks here will only the misinformation and miss the fact based reports because of that. The exact same bull#### can dazzle different folks in different ways.

Agree, he wasn't, but should have kept his mouth shut. Official or not.

Actually, he WAS charged, tried, and found not-guilty. (I understand the quote came from Maria Shriver.)

The full moon couldn’t have possibly helped.

Nice looking basket weave stamping. Get some sort of concho or medallion to put where that hole is nobody will ever know. Great job on that. I’ve found that leather working is a much deeper well than I ever imagined. It’s a never ending learning experience.

Of course that's true. Dickens spoke of it in some of his novels, and there were plenty of pamphlets printed before and during the revolution that told a single side of the story. William Randolph Hearst practically invented "yellow journalism" and made a fortune at it. But what we're seeing now seems different, probably because the internet makes it so easy to spread half-truths and lies. I could not care less what Alyssa Milano or high-school-drop-out Cher think about politics, but they've become loud voices for leftist policies, and have outsized influence. I think the scope of what we're seeing today, national news media telling outright lies about people or policies, IS unique, and worrisome.

And calling Kyle a white supremacist. Those boys may have been white. But in their hearts, they was black.

You have a firm grasp on the obvious.

Same to you! I count my TGO friends among my many, many things to be thankful for.

Glad to hear he's on the mend - and that he's got someone who cares about him enough to notice when he's not around.

Because of all the flue talk, in our area, I went and took a flue shot this morning. I don't want to be sick during the holidays if I can prevent it. I seem to get everything I get close to and we got a lot of family coming in for the holidays. Three of my extended family have colds, at present, so I decide to err on the safe side if possible.

It’s a Luger with the stock attached.

After getting a bad case of flu about 25 years ago I started getting the shot every year. Never had a reaction other than a sore arm for a day or so and have never caught the flu again. May be luck on both cases but I'll take it.

Not arguing that. Unfortunately for consumers some business erring on the side of caution is frustrating but understandable due to the litigious society we have morphed into.

Once she trusts him and lets him touch/pet her he could likely find out. There is generally a small incision scar after the dog has been spayed. Both of my females have had a small scar. Vets are not plastic surgeons and generally are not as concerned with scars when completing surgery. One of the best tricks I have seen/found for getting a stray/abused/or otherwise skittish dog to trust you and humans again is non attentive proximity. This means you bring the dog into a somewhat restricted space, say a laundry room or a smaller enclosed porch. You get a bowl of food at a meal time and place the food on the floor for the dog to have access to it. You then sit on the floor, allow the dog to eat in their own time, and do not approach or attempt to touch the dog. You start by sitting as far away as you can from the dog in that space and just more or less ignore them while they eat, bring a book. You are close but not attempting to handle or approach them. You do this over the course of days moving slightly closer each day. By the end of it you will likely be able to sit right next the bowl and pet the dog while it eats. It gets the animal used to your proximity at a vulnerable time and the animal learns that you are non threatening so they can relax in your presence.

You sure generalize a lot I have two sons (18 and 23) who both work construction, and I’ll wager either could work circles around you. One has an engineering degree and the other is still in high school.

Hydrogen vehicles have been around for years. The problem with them will continue to be storing enough Hydrogen for reasonable range in a manner safe enough to make people comfortable.

My grandson took this one while hunting in Texas.
