Kyle Rittenhouse Did So Poorly on USMC Entrance Exam That He’s ‘PERMANENTLY’ Banned From Applying Again
Indeed, he was “far below” what they required. Don’t breathe too deeply, many of us wouldn’t be what they’re looking for either. That’s a good thing. Our services are in good shape because they get some of the best people. But Kyle was so far below USMC requirements that he was banned from even APPLYING again. That’s pretty bad…for Kyle.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Boyfriend Says Liberal Women Are the Ugliest He’s Ever Seen, ‘They Look Like Men!’
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s current boyfriend is Brian Glenn, and some people believe he is using their relationship to further a career in MAGA broadcasting. Glenn had an interesting take on the attractiveness of liberal women.
Obviously this is just so incredibly sexist, but what else would you expect from a MAGA, especially one who dates someone as horrible as MTG.
Glenn said, “Liberal women [indecipherable] are the ugliest women I’ve ever seen… ”
Let’s just stop there. In the last election, then-President Donald Trump received 74 million votes, and current President Biden received 81 million votes. It seems awfully ridiculous to say that either side has a monopoly on “the ugliest or most gorgeous women,” and that’s without even having to bring up some of the beautiful liberal women.

Boebert’s Son Tells Court He Can’t Find an Attorney in His Price Range
Tyler Boebert has reportedly been having issues finding a lawyer to represent him in a case involving a string of crimes he allegedly committed in the Colorado district represented by his mother, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO). Tyler, 18, faces 14 charges in the alleged February crime spree, including three felony counts of criminal possession of identity documents. He appeared solo and “looking extra spiffy” in Garfield County court on Thursday, according to a report by Denver outlet Westword. “We are working to hire an attorney, but it’s just been kind of hard with the prices,” Tyler told the judge. “Worst case scenario, if we can’t get something figured out with the lawyer then we’re going to apply for a public defender or whatever works best for me.” The judge advised Tyler that it was “a good idea” to apply for a public defender even as he continues to search for private representation, according to Westword. The 18-year-old was arrested on Feb. 28 after a “string of vehicle trespass and property thefts” in Rifle, Colorado just over a week earlier, police said at the time.

‘Whose house?’ Congress’ house, appeals court rules, rejecting Jan. 6 defendant’s challenge
The ruling upholds a statute that criminalizes “parading, picketing or demonstrating in a Capitol building.”
KYLE CHENEY and JOSH GERSTEIN
04/09/2024
When John Nassif surged into the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, he was among the hundreds chanting “Whose house? Our house!”
But that’s not exactly true, a federal appeals court countered Tuesday, rejecting Nassif’s challenge to his conviction for “demonstrating” inside the Capitol and ruling that the building itself — as opposed to the spacious parkland outside — is not legally a “public forum” for protest activity.
The ruling by a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals upholds a statute that criminalizes “parading, picketing or demonstrating in a Capitol building,” a law that has been used against hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants who breached the building that day.
“The record before us contains no evidence that Congress intended to open any portion of the Capitol buildings as a public forum for assembly and discourse,” the panel wrote in a unanimous 27-page ruling.
“To be sure, expressive activity by people other than members and staff happens every day in the Capitol buildings—in constituent meetings, lobbying sessions, committee hearings, and the like,” the judges continued. “But the communications that take place in the Capitol are typically ‘scheduled and controlled by Senators or Representatives, and they may or may not be open to observation or (less frequently) participation by the public.’”
The ruling is a victory for the Justice Department amid a string of challenges and setbacks related to the statutes it has deployed against Jan. 6 defendants. The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments next week in a case that could upend hundreds of Jan. 6 felony prosecutions for obstructing Congress’ proceedings that day, and several federal district court judges have recently rejected prosecutors’ view of another key misdemeanor charge: entering or remaining on the restricted grounds of the Capitol.
Nassif was convicted in 2022 of that charge — as well as three other misdemeanors — for joining the mob that breached the building, and he completed his seven-month sentence in January.
Nassif, 57, of Winter Springs, Florida, argued that the law prohibiting parading and picketing was unconstitutional because the Capitol building, including its historic rotunda, is traditionally open to the public and therefore cannot significantly restrict demonstration activity. But the court rejected that contention, concluding that because the building is actually Congress’ workplace — and was designed primarily for legislating — Congress is well within its power to prohibit activity that might disrupt its job.
“Inviting myriad parades, demonstrations, and pickets inside the Capitol buildings would disrupt the very legislative process that the buildings are designed to accommodate,” Judge Cornelia Pillard wrote for the three-judge panel.
Supporters of President Donald Trump climb the west wall of the the U.S. Capitol in Washington as they try to storm the building on Jan. 6, 2021.
All three judges who heard the appeal were appointed by Democratic presidents: Pillard was picked by Barack Obama, and Bradley Garcia and Michelle Childs were appointed by President Joe Biden.
Pillard noted that entry to the Capitol is “strictly regulated” and that members of the public typically must reserve a tour and face security screening before entering. Those restrictions, the court said, underscore that the Capitol is not “generally open for use by members of the public to voice whatever concerns they may have — much less to use for protests, pickets, or demonstrations.”
The appeals panel also rejected Nassif’s argument that the law in question — passed in 1967 to address a spike in disruptive actions inside the Capitol — was too vague and swept in too much First Amendment activity to pass constitutional muster.
The federal court of appeals ruling issued Tuesday appears to be in some tension with decisions reached in the 1980s and 1990s by the appeals court that oversees Washington’s local courts, the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, which appeared to endorse the notion that protests regularly take place in the Capitol Rotunda. Several such rulings refer to the rotunda as a “unique situs for demonstration activity.”
Pillard dismissed the significance of those opinions, saying they seem “to derive more from an imprecise daisy chain of reasoning than from a considered assessment of the Capitol Rotunda’s history.”
Nassif was convicted following a bench trial by U.S. District Court Judge John Bates, an appointee of President George W. Bush. Bates also rejected Nassif’s argument that the anti-parading statute violates the First Amendment.
Nassif can ask the full bench of the D.C. Circuit to revisit his appeal or petition the Supreme Court for review.

Conservatives Suddenly Realize Tucker Carlson Is a Lying Russia Dupe
What changed?
ucker Carlson has changed. He has changed before, obviously: Originally a right-leaning but skeptical reporter, he evolved into a grotesquely racist, relentlessly dishonest authoritarian demagogue. In this incarnation, he attracted new followers while retaining many of his old ones and amassing, for a time, the largest audience in cable news.
Now, he has taken a decisive turn that has shed still more of his allies by denouncing Israel. Dedicated Trumpists like David Friedman, Joel Pollak, and David Reaboi have raised alarms. Jenna Ellis, the campaign attorney who assisted Trump’s efforts to secure an unelected second term, sadly observed that Carlson has become “very, very different than who he presented himself as on Fox News.” Eli Lake, in a Free Press essay, writes Carlson out of the respectable-conservative movement.
Any defection is welcome, and belated recognition of Carlson’s flaws is certainly preferable to none. You go to war with the semi-loyal democrats you have, not the semi-loyal democrats you want. The Trump era has made vividly clear that the Republican Party is oriented toward cohesion, and any weakening of its centripetal force is not to be taken for granted. It would be unrealistic to expect Republicans, especially those who have stood with Carlson to this late point in his long slide into semi-fascism, to undertake a full and thorough accounting of his flaws.

Meet some of the violent Jan. 6 rioters Donald Trump keeps calling 'hostages'
Trump has made his defense of those incarcerated in Capitol attack cases a central piece of his 2024 campaign. Many are accused of assaulting police. Some others fled.
By Ryan J. Reilly
April 4, 2024
www.nbcnews.com
The way former President Donald Trump tells it, the men and women who stormed the Capitol because they believed his lies about the 2020 presidential election are "hostages" and “unbelievable patriots” who are being mistreated by the justice system.
But an NBC News review of hundreds of cases against Jan. 6 defendants found that just 15 people charged in connection with the Capitol attack are currently being held pretrial at the order of federal judges. That number of pretrial detainees has decreased in recent months, as more and more Jan. 6 defendants have taken plea deals or been found guilty, and as federal judges have been hesitant to hold new arrestees in pre-trial custody more than three years after the attack.
Though Trump said on Jan. 7, 2021, that “those who broke the law” during the Capitol riot would “pay,” he has made his defense of incarcerated Jan. 6 defendants a major plank of his 2024 campaign. Trump has called Jan. 6 detainees “hostages” and even opens rallies by playing a recording from the “J6 Prison Choir.” Trump has said he’ll pardon “a large portion” of the rioters “very early on” if he wins in 2024 and recently vowed to “free the Jan. 6 Hostages” as one of his “first acts as your next President.”
More than 1,350 people have been charged in connection with the Jan. 6 attack, and prosecutors have secured more than 950 convictions. Low-level defendants routinely receive sentences of probation, but about 500 have received periods of incarceration.The overwhelming majority of those charged have been released before trial. NBC News identified 15 defendants who have not been convicted or entered a plea who are currently incarcerated; seven of them are among the 27 Jan. 6 defendants being held at the D.C. Department of Corrections, as Just Security reported. (Trump hasn’t clearly defined who he is referring to, but those who have pleaded guilty or been convicted by a federal judge in the United States are, by definition, not “hostages.”) In most of those cases, a judge found overwhelming evidence that the defendants had committed criminal acts of violence against law enforcement. Others had fled from authorities, either as law enforcement attempted to take them into custody or when they were out on release after their initial arrest. Two are being held while they are evaluated for mental health issues.
An Israeli-American hostage family member sharply criticized Trump's use of the term “hostages" for Jan. 6 defendants Thursday, telling NBC News: "It's excruciatingly painful."
"It's not the same as being kidnapped, dragged across the border and taken into a tunnel beneath Gaza, where you’re held for months in the dark. That’s a hostage," the family member said. "It's not just inaccurate and painful, it's cruel."
Below are the current pretrial Jan. 6 detainees identified by NBC News, the charges they face and the status of their cases. All of those who have been arraigned so far have pleaded not guilty; four are still awaiting arraignment.
