Good morning. What a week this has been! Two earth-shattering trials, both about White men shooting their victims without any honest legal excuse. But look at Rittenhouse’s judge. He started off saying that the prosecutor could not use the word “victim,” but it was just peachy keen to describe the downed men as “rioters” and “looters.” Here are my articles that I have lined up for you today:
Loony Representative Paul Gosar (R-AZ) threatens to kill AOC and wound President Joe Biden via a cartoonish video.
Fox News’ Tucker Carlson tries to persuade us dictatorships are good
The White House laughs at Donald Trump’s ridiculous shadow government.
And we end the week with a beautiful tribute to 18 million veterans by The Lincoln Project.
Everyone, be safe. You & Yours!

AOC Refuses To Be Intimidated By Paul Gosar In Wednesday Rebuttal
‘Paul Gosar substituted Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s head for the murder victim in an anime video. The video went viral, and eventually, the tech industry did its best to erase it from easy access. At first though, Twitter just placed a warning label on it but did not take it down. The warning simply read that the video violated the company’s rules on “hateful conduct.”
‘Wednesday, Ocasio-Cortez made her stance very clear. She tweeted that she would “bulldog back a bully:”
‘SEE, THE THING ABOUT ME IS THAT I WILL 100% BULLDOG BACK A BULLY. ASK ANY REPUBLICAN I SERVE ON A COMMITTEE WITH – WHEN I WAS FIRST ELECTED, THEY TRIED TO HARP ON ME AND I ABSOLUTELY HANDED IT TO THEM. NOW THEY DON’T.PLUS IT’S TRUE-GOSAR HAS NOTHING BUT TUMBLEWEEDS UP THERE.’

Tucker Carlson Gets Fact-Checked To His Face During Live Show
‘It seems that the far-right has already crossed over to endorse a dictator leading our great nation. Fox’s Tucker Carlson is quite fond of dictators, actually. He even went to Budapest, Hungary to broadcast his show. Why? He so admires Hungary’s dictator Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who seized power 11 years ago. A Republican representative went on Carlson’s show to argue for democracy, and things went very wrong.
‘In the past few days, Russia has elevated its presence at its Ukraine border. President Joe Biden’s people have warned Moscow to back off, saying the buildup would be a “serious mistake,” according to The Daily Beast. Putin seized Crimea, which is a part of Ukraine, and the two countries have been up in arms ever since.’

White House Humiliates Trump’s For His Bogus Shadow Government
‘As the years of Trump’s presidency turned toward his eventual demise, the tightening circle around Trump lauded his actions. It was that or earn an eternal place on his enemies list. Not only does the former president apparently believe he is the emperor, he is acting on that premise. So President Joe Biden’s White House has to rein in the former president, and humor is the best way to do that, Yahoo News reported.
‘Trump announced that he sent an “envoy ambassador” to the border between Kosovo and Serbia. What? There, tensions are at a critical point. Belarus lured thousands of Middle Eastern refugees to that border with the promise they could enter Poland, according to The New York Times. That was a lie. Worse, the immigrants who have been camping along the border are ill-prepared for the oncoming winter.’

‘The Lincoln Project’ Reminds America To Support Biden During Veterans Day Video
‘For the first time in two decades, America is not at war in Afghanistan. But the war continues in the hearts of the 18 million veterans who served this country. From World War II veterans who struggle to rise from their wheelchairs and salute to the youngest “once a Marine always a Marine,” they march to the drummer of memories, and nightmares, which we cannot imagine. The Lincoln Project reflects our gratitude for their service and sacrifice in a beautiful Veteran’s Day tribute.'
‘These young people join up for many reasons, but “service” is a cause that we rarely consider. It arises out of an ability to reach above their own concerns to come together on our behalves. The Republicans in the House and Senate would do well to take a lesson from them. Because they show us what it means to be “patriotic.”’
