Rittenhouse’s Legal Defense Team Launches Nonprofit to Help Americans Battle Cancel Culture

(Headline USA) Kyle Rittenhouse’s legal defense team launched a nonprofit organization this week aimed at helping Americans fight back against cancel culture.

The group, called Themis Alliance, said their work defending Rittenhouse against charges stemming from the 2020 riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin made it clear that the system is all too often rigged against ordinary Americans and conservatives. Rittenhouse, who was acquitted after being charged in the shooting of three men who pursued him, had to launch “at least a dozen online platforms just for trying to raise resources” for his defense, explained Adam Waldeck, a Themis Alliance board member.

“It just shows how aggressive and censorious so many of our institutions have become,” Waldeck said. “All too often it’s only happening to people thought to hold certain opinions or represent certain values. It’s deeply unfair and makes the pursuit of justice — which should be in the interest of every America — nearly impossible.”

Jillian Anderson, another board member of the newly launched group, also pointed out that Rittenhouse had to combat intense media scrutiny and criticism on top of everything else.

“Witnessing the media’s immense power, I was personally driven to support Kyle and his shattered family, victims of relentless smears by mainstream media,” Anderson said. “This experience led me to help create Themis Alliance, providing a voice and platform for those silenced by the woke mob and cancel culture. Together, we’ll empower the voiceless to reclaim their narratives.”

The Themis Alliance plans to offer both public relations and legal defense assistance to those targeted by cancel culture, according to Anderson. She hinted that one of the next victims the group might aim to help is U.S. Marine Corps veteran Daniel Penny, who was charged with second-degree manslaughter for the death of Jordan Neely in New York City.

“To prevent their lives from being destroyed personally and professionally, they need help correcting false narratives and, in some cases, raising the funds for a legal defense,” Anderson said. “That’s why Themis Alliance was created.”

Rittenhouse said he hopes the organization will help Americans who might experience similar hardships less “powerless.”

“I’m really encouraged by the launch of the Themis Alliance because regular, everyday Americans need a battle-tested ally willing to stand up for the truth,” he said.

New Patriot Front Lawsuit Seeks to ‘Decimate’ Group

New Patriot Front Lawsuit Seeks to ‘Decimate’ Group

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The right-wing nationalist group Patriot Front and its leader, Thomas Rousseau, have been sued again, this time by a man backed by lawyers seeking to “decimate” the organization.

Boston man Charles Murrell III filed the latest lawsuit against Patriot Front, Rousseau and 100 anonymous group members on Tuesday, seeking damages for injuries he allegedly suffered at the hands of the white activists.

According to Murrell, he was heading to the Boston Public Library to play his saxophone on July 2, 2022, when he was surrounded by members of the Patriot Front and assaulted in a “coordinated, brutal, and racially motivated attack.”

“Almost immediately, members of Patriot Front surrounded Mr. Murrell. Using tactics that Patriot Front members had practiced at training sessions preceding their Boston ‘flash’ march, Patriot Front members then began to beat Mr. Murrell with their metal shields, eventually pressing him against a concrete pole and knocking him to the ground,” Murrell’s lawsuit said.

“From there, the beating continued, with Patriot Front’s members using their shields, fists, and feet to further inflict harm on Mr. Murrell.”

“Murrell claims to have suffered physical and emotional injuries from the attack that persist more than a year later,” his lawsuit said.

“Such emotional trauma has negatively affected Mr. Murrell’s ability to earn a living as a composer and musician. He has been unable to complete musical composition contracts and has generally lost the will to write or perform music.”

Licha Nyiendo, the chief legal officer at Human Rights First, which is backing Murrell in the lawsuit, told the Associated Press that the lawsuit isn’t just intended to bring about justice and accountability—but also to bankrupt Patriot Front.

“Our goal is to decimate this extremist group,” she said, “and bring a national spotlight to the dangers of their extremist ideology.”

Patriot Front members, for their part, are seemingly denying the lawsuit’s allegations. Attorney Jason Lee Van Dyke, who has represented Patriot Front members in prior cases, told the AP that “Charles Murrell is not telling the truth.”

“I happen to have seen the raw video footage and it was clear that Charles Murrell was the aggressor and no one with Patriot Front did anything unlawful.” he said. “His assertion that he was beaten is factually incorrect.”

No one has been charged in connection with the attack on Murrell, 36, and the investigation remains open, according to a spokesperson for the Suffolk district attorney’s office.

Tuesday’s lawsuit follows a federal judge finding Rousseau in default of a separate lawsuit, after he apparently failed to respond to it.

The judge’s decision last month means Rousseau can no longer defend himself in the case. Other members of the Patriot Front filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, which accuses them of vandalizing a mural honoring black tennis star Arthur Ashe.

Additionally, Rousseau is set to stand trial in Idaho on Sept. 22 for allegedly planning a riot at a pride event last year. Five members were convicted in that case last month and sentenced to several days in jail.

Patriot Front is also pursuing its own lawsuit, which it filed last month, against a left-wing activist who infiltrated and doxxed the group.

Riley Gaines Assaulted, Spat on by ‘Rabid’ Anti-Woman Leftists

Riley Gaines Assaulted, Spat on by ‘Rabid’ Anti-Woman Leftists

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) A pair of former champion collegiate Division I female athletes, Riley Gaines and Paula Scanlan, were assaulted and spat on by “rabid” protestors at the signing of Texas’s “Save Women’s Sports Act.”

According to Michelle Evans, an Independent Women’s Network’s Austin chapter leader, the protest, which was made up of about 250 people, quickly got out of hand, Fox News reported.

“It was — I guess the best word to describe them was they were rabid.”

Evans quickly noticed that things were being thrown at her by the mob.

“When I turned around to go back inside of the building, that’s when somebody threw water on me,” Evans recalled.

“Somebody told me they know where I f—ing live. There was somebody that got in front of me to try to physically block me from going back inside and pushed her body up against mine. Somebody hit my arm, and then someone — a woman in a pink ski mask and sunglasses — spit into my open eye.”

According to Evans, the suspect was apprehended.

Gaines noted that even in the former conservative stronghold that is Texas, rioters ran wild.

“Even in the great state of [Texas], protesters have tried to find a way to smear the celebration of Governor Abbott signing SB 15 which protects female collegiate athletics. But they can’t,” Gaines said.

“Today is a huge win and Gov. Abbott’s leadership is foundational and I’m hopeful more states will follow suit.”

According to the former athlete, protesters were “spitting in people’s faces” and people were screaming profanities at children. Fortunately, she noted, law enforcement did its job.

Former University of Pennsylvania swimmer Paula Scanlan also noted that the rioters were “spitting and yelling.”

“Craziness of today aside, I was finally able to exit the event safely,” Scanlan wrote. “Although crowds of people may call us names, we prevailed today in the state of Texas. Our work is not finished and I hope other states will follow in the footsteps of Texas.”

Woke Univ. That Robert E. Lee Led after Civil War Removes Plaque Honoring His Horse

Woke Univ. That Robert E. Lee Led after Civil War Removes Plaque Honoring His Horse

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) In yet another instance of cancel culture dominating college campuses, Washington and Lee University removed a plaque honoring Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s warhorse, Traveller, the College Fix reported.

The steed, known for its courage and stamina, is buried on campus. Near the site of his burial ground was formerly a plaque honoring the horse, which read: “The last home of Traveller,” who, “through war and peace the faithful, devoted and beloved horse of General Robert E. Lee placed by the Virginia Division United Daughters of the Confederacy.”

Lee’s horse served him after the war as well, when he became the president of then-Washington College, which would later take on his name as well.

According to the university’s board of trustees, the school would be better served by erasing its past in the name of appealing to the woke leftist children coming out of the modern American high school.

“We have reviewed campus symbols, names and practices, and we are making changes to remove doubt about our separation from the Confederacy and the Lost Cause,” the board stated.

But not everyone who is part of the university is interested in canceling its proud Virginian history.

Kamron Spivey, president of Students for Historical Preservation, wrote an email to the College Fix, stating that the students, for their part, regret the removal of the plaque.

“Traveller was a beloved part of the campus story,” Spivey wrote.

“People like to hear tales about animals because they do no wrong. That is how Traveller has been immortalized in campus history,” he continued. “He was a faithful horse whose beauty and loyalty Robert E. Lee said would inspire poets. Until this month, very few people seemed bothered by the horse.”

Other blue-leaning cities and campuses in Lee’s home state have likewise grappled with the state’s role as ground-zero for the Confederacy.

Charlottesville and Richmond both made national news for their removal of prominent statues of the general. A judge recently cleared the far-left Charlottesville government’s long-running effort to melt down the Lee statue that was at the heart of a 2017 clash between right-wing demonstrators and Antifa counter-protesters resulting in the death of a local activist.

Meanwhile, at the University of Richmond, a plan to rename its T.C. Williams law school was met with backlash from the descendants of the slave-owning benefactor, who demanded a $51 million refund on their ancestor’s philanthropic investment.

‘I Do Not Apologize’: Ne-Yo Retracts Earlier Statement about Gender Comments

‘I Do Not Apologize’: Ne-Yo Retracts Earlier Statement about Gender Comments

(Corine Gatti, Headline USA) In a developing transgender twist, rapper Shaffer “Ne-Yo” Smith, who seemingly caved to his critics after questioning parents for allowing children to choose their gender, said the public apology issued was written by his publicist.

“I normally don’t give too much of a damn about what y’all think about what I do, what you all have to say about what I say. However, this is something I feel very strongly on and I need y’all to hear it from the horse’s mouth and not the publicist’s computer,” he said, sending mixed animal metaphors with a hat labeled “Lone Wolf.”

The star continued to defend his position and stated “First and foremost, I do not apologize for having an opinion on this matter. I am a 43- year-old heterosexual man raising five boys and two girls — that’s my reality.”

And while Ne-Yo said he has no beef with the LGBT community, he noted he’ll “never be OK with allowing a child to make a decision that detrimental to their life. I will never be OK with that. I doubt that there’s any book anywhere or any opinion that somebody’s gonna tell me that’s gonna make me okay with letting a child make a decision like that.”

He also addressed being canceled over his initial comments, and added, he’ll “figure it out.”

In his original remarks, Ne-Yo said on VladTV with Gloria Velez, “I just personally come from an era where a man was a man and a woman was a woman. You could identify as a goldfish if you feel like, I don’t care—that ain’t my business,” he said, sparking outrage from the transgender community.

On Sunday, however, the rapper’s publicist reportedly issued an apology on behalf of his client to the transgender community.

“I understand how my comments could’ve been interpreted as insensitive and offensive,” he wrote. “Gender identity is nuanced, and I can honestly admit that I plan to better educate myself on the topic, so I can approach future conversations with more empathy.”

More and more male African-American performers, such as Ne-Yo, Ice Cube and Kanye West, are challenging leftist political dogma and expressing anti-establishment views. Some celebrities backed away from their comments after being condemned for their opinions. R&B singer Macy Gray was canceled for opposing transgenderism after stating that changing one’s body parts doesn’t make one a woman. She later retracted her comments.

Calif. Schools Replace Suspension w/ Diversity Training as New Form of Punishment

Calif. Schools Replace Suspension w/ Diversity Training as New Form of Punishment

(Corine Gatti, Headline USA) A California school district urged its staff during a workshop last September to send misbehaving students to diversity training rather than suspend them, according to a new report from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Based on the Anti-Defamation League’s education program, last September’s workshop presentation reportedly included a chart displaying the percentage of employees who are “comfortable” discussing problems of “Anti-Blackness,” “Anti-Hispanic/Latinx” and “Anti-LGBTQ+.”

A worksheet titled “that’s so gay” was also presented to teachers, purporting to offer ways a student could be an “ally to the LGBTQ community” and how they could use their “privilege” to speak up and educate others, the Daily Caller reported.

Additionally, the staff was given notes that the “restorative response team” was looking for more bias hunters, who were sensitive to identity and race to implement the program.

And because the training was based on ADL’s program, the organization’s No Place For Hate coordinator handbook and resource guide was promoted during the training sessions. That’s the same guide that said microaggressions, bullying or slurs can ultimately lead to genocide, the Daily Caller noted.

Further, the presentation introduced alternative forms to suspension and transferring students to different schools as a form of punishment. These forms offer options such as attending a Caring Connections Session or assisting a custodian for several days, taking a course on the impact of hate behavior instead of transferring to a different school.

However, the presentation stated that students who pose a physical threat to others, commit serious crimes, or engage in substance abuse should be suspended. Students who engage in less severe misconduct, such as bullying or theft, should attend restorative justice programs.

The school district said it was updating its policies to address hate language and behavior through the implementation of restorative justice practices, according to their website, Under the “Discipline & Restorative Justice Practices” tab.

Parents Defending Education President Nicole Neily reportedly criticized the school’s new program as “heavy-handed programming.”

“Although well-intentioned, heavy-handed programming like Poway’s is often counterproductive because it demonizes and shames participants (leading to a backlash) while failing to actually change individuals’ underlying opinions in their hearts—alienating employees who now understand that to their district, they are the ‘enemy’ because of their wrongthink,” she told the Daily Caller.

Report: Secret Service Told Joe Biden Identity of White House Cocaine Culprit

Report: Secret Service Told Joe Biden Identity of White House Cocaine Culprit

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) Citing three sources with direct knowledge of the incident, Soldier of Fortune reported Monday that the Secret Service told President Joe Biden the identity of the person who brought cocaine into the White House last month.

Solider of Fortune is the publication that reported last month that that fingerprints were found on the bag of cocaine left in the White House. The publication, which historically has had high-placed sources in the military and intelligence agencies, has stuck by its reporting and continued to develop the cocaine story.

“All three sources independently told Soldier of Fortune the same name, which arose from an investigation into the incident,” the magazine reported Monday.

“The sources currently work for a U.S. government agency, and are not authorized to speak to the media.”

Perhaps surprisingly, the White House cocaine culprit was not Hunter Biden, according to Soldier of Fortune’s sources.

One source told the publication that “it was someone within the Biden family orbit, and it wasn’t Hunter.” Another source reportedly said “If you want the name, ask Joe Biden. He knows who it is.”

Soldier of Fortune attempted to contact Joe Biden about the matter, including by text message, but was unsuccessful.

Less than 24 hours after Solider of Fortune originally reported about the fingerprints on the cocaine bag, the Secret Service announced on July 13 that it was closing its investigation into the matter without finding the culprit.

The magazine has submitted Freedom of Information Act requests to the Secret Service and local law enforcement in an attempt to prove that those agencies lifted fingerprints from the cocaine baggie.

Other anonymous sources have reportedly said the cocaine culprit will likely never be apprehended.

“It’s gonna be very difficult for us to do that because of where it was,” an unnamed official told  Politico.

“Even if there were surveillance cameras, unless you were waving it around, it may not have been caught [by cameras],” the source added. “It’s a bit of a thoroughfare. People walk by there all the time.”

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has said the White House is confident that the Secret Service would “get to the bottom of this.”

Ukraine’s Transgender Spokesperson Says Russians Aren’t Human

Ukraine’s Transgender Spokesperson Says Russians Aren’t Human

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The newly appointed, American transgender spokesperson for the Territorial Defense Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is quickly drawing negative attention for highly inflammatory remarks, including ones that dehumanize Russians.

After gloating last week about how Ukraine captured an American journalist who was critical of Ukraine, that spokesperson, Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, said this week that Russians aren’t human.

“Do you know the difference between us and them, besides fighting under this flag and for freedom on behalf of the people of Ukraine, while the Russians are fighting for tyranny and dictatorship? It’s pretty simple: We’re human, and those guys most definitely aren’t,” said Ashton-Cirillo, who has also referred to Russians as “orcs.”

The Kyiv Post first announced Ashton-Cirillo’s appointment as Ukrainian Armed Forces’ spokesperson last week on Twitter. According to Newsweek, the transgender American arrived in Ukraine shortly after Russia’s invasion in March 2022, and started working as a war reporter.

After witnessing the war firsthand, Ashton-Cirillo reportedly enlisted in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and worked as a combat medic.

“Having been in Ukraine for almost 520 days, in a variety of both civilian and military capacities, more than anything I’ve come to appreciate the strength and resilience of the Ukrainian people,” Ashton-Cirillo told Newsweek in an email.

“Over the last month, as my role has evolved from a zero line infantry soldier to one of the public voices of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, I’ve become ever more grateful for that strength.”

The transgender’s inflammatory comments towards Russia come as an aid of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reportedly promised Monday that there will be “no compromise” with his counterpart, Vladimir Putin.

The aid, Mykhailo Podolyak, reportedly said that the only “foundation for negotiations” would be a full Russian withdrawal from Ukraine.

“There can be no compromise positions such as ‘immediate ceasefires’ and ‘negotiations here and now’ that give Russia time to stay in the occupied territories,” Podolyak wrote on Twitter.

DoD Consultant: Space Force Has Proof of 2020 Fraud, Withheld to Avert Civil War

DoD Consultant: Space Force Has Proof of 2020 Fraud, Withheld to Avert Civil War

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) A self-declared Defense Department consultant said last week that the United States Space Force has proof that the 2020 election was stolen, but that the information was withheld in order to avoid the outbreak of civil war.

Jan Halper–Hayes, who claimed to sit on an unspecified Pentagon task force, told a British television show that former President Donald Trump and his legal team have all the evidence needed to expose the truth and bring a quick end to the Biden administration’s weaponized prosecution of the GOP frontrunner, according to the Gateway Pundit.

“Think about the fact that our military, our Department of Defense Space Force, if you think that they don’t have the actual real results from the election, then you’re fooling yourself,” Halper–Hayes said, during an appearance on Breakfast with Stephen and Ellie.

Halper–Hayes claimed that type of evidence presumably could be proven in court as the former president tries to fend off the most recent legal assault by the corrupt special counsel Jack Smith and the Biden Justice Department.

“Listen carefully: Trump is about to play an ace card,” Jim Ferguson, a former UK Parliamentary candidate, wrote in response to Halper-Hayes’s comments. “He can subpoena and call witnesses. Its all about to all come out. ‘Trump has got the goods’ He has the evidence of it all.”

According to Halper–Hayes, who reportedly was also a member of Trump’s White House transition team, Trump himself made the decision to withhold the critical information in order to forestall a potential civil war in the midst of 2020 unrest.

“They’ve got the goods,” she said. “And Trump knew that if he presented any of the goods early on, we’d have a civil war, that he really felt that the people needed to see how bad it could get.”

The Gateway Pundit noted it could “neither confirm nor deny these allegations at this time.” Headline USA also cannot vouch for their accuracy.

Her comments gained steam, however, when Trump took to Truth Social and posted the clip of her interview, writing that “Dr. Jan Halper–Hayes is fantastic. Everyone has got to watch her interview on election fraud with the poor sap who got taken apart by her.”

The interview also gained praise from Michael Flynn, who posted on Truth Social that “Such a clear presentation of what we’re facing and what will likely happen. Our ‘Freedom must be guarded.'”

Rep. MTG: House May Subpoena Pelosi’s Daughter over Undercover J6 Confession

Rep. MTG: House May Subpoena Pelosi’s Daughter over Undercover J6 Confession

(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., is calling on the House Oversight Committee to investigate a series of claims reportedly made by Alexandra Pelosi that seemed to confirm her belief that the Jan.6 Capitol protests were overhyped by a partisan media and that no actual insurrection occurred, while laughing off claims of a vast Proud Boys white supremacy conspiracy.

In a resurfaced undercover video, Alexandra Pelosi also conceded that there was no way anyone targeted by her mother’s J6 Inquisition could ever receive a fair trial from D.C. courts, which currently would include former President Donald Trump.

Alexandra Pelosi is the daughter of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who led the J6 witch hunts of Trump and patriot protestors.

Alexandra Pelosi made her comments during a meeting with a J6 defendant she was lobbying to be in her documentary of the Capitol chaos. Alexandra Pelosi was on hand to film the events, with a positive focus on her mother and a villainous MAGA portrayal, for a HBO documentary.

In a video originally reported by the Gateway Pundit, Alexandra Pelosi tells the retired US Army captain and J6 defendant, “I know you’re not the bad guy. I haven’t found the bad guy yet, but if there is, I know you’re not the bad guy.”

She also advised for J6 defendants to steer clear of DC courts because in DC, “There’s a lot of people who work for the government and it’s a lot of — I don’t think they’re sympathetic.”

Alexandra also said that once the overhyped media of the events begins to fade, “I think time is going to remember January Sixth differently,” before appearing to agree that there was no actual insurrection.

“Why I ask you the question, ‘so what was the plan?’ is that if there was an insurrection, you’re supposed to be in line marching,” she said. “You’re in the military, you know this. You’re supposed to have a plan.”

Another voice in the room added, “If there was an insurrection, it was the sorriest insurrection in the 21st century, ever. No guns, no plan, people taking selfies of themselves smoking pot.”

Instead of rushing to the defense of a J6 insurrection narrative, Alexandra Pelosi laughed, “Oh, I love the one of the guy smoking pot,” before scoffing at the sentence handed down to the so-called QAnon Shaman.

“What did the shaman do? He stood there. The shaman got how many months? 41,” she said incredulously.

The daughter of former Speaker Pelosi appeared equally unbelieving regarding claims made about the Proud Boys.

“I’m from New York City and I was always a long time ago friends with Gavin McInnes, who is supposedly the guy who started the Proud Boys,” Pelosi boasted. “And when you say it was a drinking club, I’m just telling you guys I don’t know what the Proud Boys is but I know Gavin McInnes. I went on road trips with him to parties.”

Proud Boys members and leaders, McInnes excepted, have received some of the harshest sentences surrounding the Capitol uprising. McInnes reportedly “claimed to have abandoned any role in the organization in 2018 in the face of law enforcement pressure,” according to the Daily Beast. 

“It was so comical to me when I first started hearing about Proud Boys. He may talk shit but a lot of it, it’s like he’s a provocateur,” Alexandra Pelosi said of her old buddy. “But the idea that he’s now being elevated to being this — it totally makes me laugh,” she said. “I have a whole history with these people.”
