Daniel Penny was greeted with shouts of “Guilty!” as he arrived in court Monday morning ahead of closing arguments in his lightning-rod Manhattan manslaughter trial in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely. Penny, 26, strolled into Manhattan Supreme Court around 10:15 a.m. flanked by his attorneys Thomas Kenniff and Steven Raiser — as a 12-person jury will hear final remarks from prosecutors and the defense before the panel begins deliberations. A group of a dozen protesters chanted, “Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!” as the Marine veteran exited a black SUV outside the 100 Centre St. courthouse. “What do we want? Justice! When do we want it? Now!” the demonstrators shouted.

#2 only for federal crimes. This is a state action. This also serves as a reminder to never travel to, live in, or work in a blue area, particularly any governed by Leftist blacks. They are overwhelmingly racist against whites and Asians and Hispanics. Might as well be in a third world nation.

The ones who should be on trial are the city officials who did not do their jobs and allowed a drug-addled insane bum to terrorize and assault citizens. The DA should be forced to ride the subway every night without a security detail, so he can have an authentic urban experience. Meanwhile, I don't understand why anyone would want to travel or live in that open-air insane asylum where insane drug addicted criminals are protected by the law whenever their intended victims choose to fight back.

Wasn't it New York that prosecuted people for not being good Samaritans when they walked past someone in need of help? One sure way to stop people from helping others is to prosecute the people who help... or to require powers of the helper (knowing what is just enough but not too much) than common people don't possess.

A choke involves obstructing the breathing passages by either crushing or blocking the trachea. What Daniel Penny did to Jordan Neely was put him what used to be called a "sleeper" in which both carotid arteries are pinched shut, and the person trapped in the hold goes to sleep. The process, demonstrated on me by my martial arts instructor, takes about ten seconds, followed by unconsciousness. He let off in about eight seconds, and I was already blacking out. Very, very effective if the assailant can't shake you off his back in ten seconds. He's completely out. The problem with these carotid restraints--they're not chokes--is that if the lock is held for more than a minute, the lockee might not ever wake up. In New York, that's a problem.

It used to make me so mad when I would see a video of someone being attacked by a thug or group of thugs, and men would just be standing there not doing anything to help. Sadly, now I understand. Helping that person you don't even know isn't worth leaving your wife and kids to have to survive while their provider is rotting in prison for trying to "do the right thing"...

Twelve protestors, who never had a thought about Nelly until they could get their stupid mugs in front of a camera, will rule. Wait and see. I'm afraid Penny will be found guilty to appease the "poor" Nelly family, who have already said they are sure Penny will be convicted.

Vaccines have not been this relevant since the beginning of the vaccine era in the late 19th century. Top doctors and scientific minds are discussing this topic extensively. Even now, those atop the world’s most important health institutions are introducing critical reviews on vaccines into the public discourse. The question is why? In recent years, specifically in the beginning stage of the toxic injectable product (COVID vaccine) rollout, this topic has regained relevance. The truth is that during this period everything changed. Distrust in the official narratives went from fringe discussions to legitimate scientific discourse.

As Gov. Wes Moore prepares to cope with another Donald Trump presidential administration — which could cause upheaval in infrastructure, immigration and federal jobs — he’ll get help from private consultants at the cost of $190,000. The state government entered into a contract this month with Accenture, an international management and technology consulting firm. Accenture will research Trump’s proposed agenda and how it will affect the state’s priorities and programs, according to a two-page purchasing agreement between the state and the firm. Accenture will conduct “risk management and scenario planning” that will help the state prioritize its efforts and determine potential legal challenges against the administration.

I often report on fake "crises" pushed by media. Here's one that may be real: Kids are anxious. In my new video, Lenore Skenazy, founder of the non-profit Let Grow, says it's because today's parents rarely allow their kids to experience the joys of independence. Skenazy once let her 9-year-old ride the New York City subway on his own. For that, the media labeled her "America's worst mom." (Snip) But in real life, what Skenazy allowed isn't so risky. Her son told me, "I know how to get around." Nothing bad happened to him, and he gained the confidence that comes with taking care of yourself.

After the steal, I said learn to ballot harvest. Republicans did. They did their ballot harvesting legally and in front of the entire world. There were no midnight dumps of ballots from California into unattended ballot boxes. Vote tabulations did not suddenly change in the wee hours of the morning. Republicans read the rules, learned the rules and applied the rules in new ways. Trump urged voters to vote early — to bank their votes as they say. Republican voters did. According to the New York Times, in 9 states more than half the ballots cast were cast before Election Day either by mail or in-person.

"They forced us to lie about everything,” said Tucker Carlson in his speech at Madison Square Garden on Sunday night.

One of my main takeaways from the Joe Rogan interview was a greater appreciation for Donald Trump’s unique rhetorical style, which he has recently referred to as “the weave.” It is diametrically opposed to Kamala Harris’s style, which some have described as “word salad” but I prefer to call “vapid filibustering”—vapid because it’s meaningless and filibustering because it’s both incessant and designed to forestall further discussion. With the obviously senile Joe Biden out of the race, the legacy media has taken to implying that Trump’s “meandering” or “rambling” way of speaking somehow shows that he, too, is “losing it.” But (Snip) that is far from the truth.

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard arguments in U.S. v. Skrmetti, a pivotal case addressing state restrictions on controversial medical interventions, including puberty blockers and hormone treatments for minors with gender confusion. At the heart of the case is a Tennessee law banning these procedures for children, with the court’s decision likely to have far-reaching consequences. Will our country protect children from these barbaric and irreversible procedures or not? As I previously reported, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson humiliated herself when she bizarrely tried to equate banning transgender procedures for minors with prohibiting interracial marriage.

Yet, Ernst doesn’t seem keen on voting for his nomination. Instead, there are rumors that she’s trying to derail him to get the job for herself.

The agreement, reached with the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), ensures remote work privileges for these federal workers for the next five years, despite the Trump administration’s explicit plans to slash such arrangements, according to Bloomberg.

“I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would come to this decision,” President Biden wrote in the last line of his statement explaining his unconditional pardon of his son, Hunter Biden. In doing so, he actually went full circle: The very first line of his statement emphasized their father-son relationship as well: “Today I signed a pardon for my son Hunter.” So it was Biden’s open and close. His PR team deliberately positioned it this way, of course. They had to: Hunter Biden isn’t a sympathetic character.

Mitt Romney, who will also be remembered by his weird Twitter pseudonym, Pierre Delecto, gave a farewell address on the Senate Floor Wednesday before leaving Washington and the government, hopefully for good. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Romney announced last year that he wouldn’t seek reelection following two failed Presidential campaigns and one term in the Senate. This is the best thing Romney, 77, has done in his 30-year political career since his first failed run for Senate in 1994. In his address, the career politician trashed those “who would tear at our unity” and “replace love with hate,” likely aimed at President Trump.
