Lin Wood is Suing to Get the $2 Million He Raised for Kyle Rittenhouse Back – HillReporter.com

Last summer, Kyle Rittenhouse showed up to a protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin armed as if he was going into a war zone. The then 17 year-old ended up using his weapon to shoot 3 people, killing two of them.

The teen quickly became a celebrity in MAGA world. Ann Coulter went as far as saying that she though he should be president. And lawyer Lin Wood quickly stepped in to take on his case.

Wood, though, did not last long as the lawyer for Rittenhouse and the split between him and the family was acrimonious. The lawyer is now suing to recover the $2 million he raised to pay for bail.

A letter read by lawyer Xavier Solis read, The Rittenhouse bail was paid by #FightBack Foundation, a 501(c)(4) non-profit, from donations it received, Wood told Insider Thursday in an email. Under law, the bail monies must be returned to #FightBack.

An account connected to the Rittenhouse family tweeted, Money makes people do silly things. While were busting our humps trying to raise money and see Kyle acquitted, Lin Wood is sending letters to the court DURING Kyles hearing to demand $2M in donations FOR KYLE be given to HIM. Lin Woodkeeping it classy as always.

Ann Coulter: Critical Race Theory is a complex … oh, who are we kidding? – Marshall News Messenger

One of the unintended consequences of teachers using COVID to refuse to do their jobs in 2020 is that their students suddenly had to take classes remotely within earshot of Dad. A mother at a fancy New York City private school told me that the wokeness curriculum was nothing new, but mothers never made a fuss about it. Then the fathers overheard their kids' remote classes and all hell broke loose.

Now that the teachers' anti-white agenda has been exposed (thank you, fathers of America!), the left is spinning a series of increasingly hilarious defenses of "critical race theory," which is just a more boring version of the left's usual hatred of Western civilization.

Their current position is that they simply can't discuss CRT with you because it's too complex and can only be understood by high-level graduate students after years of study.

Paul Begala on CNN: "It's a graduate-level construct."

CNN's Anderson Cooper: "It started in the '70s, as I understand, in sort of academic circles, law schools."

"Dr." Ibram Kendi who is a "doctor" in the same sense that Jill Biden is explaining his position on CRT:

"I'm not a legal scholar. So I wasn't trained on critical race theory. I'm a historian. ... Critical race theory is taught in law schools. I didn't attend law school, which is where critical race theory is taught."

Oh, cut the crap. The "theory" is: Everything is based on racism.

The preposterous conceit that CRT rises above the level of a child yelling "THAT'S RACIST!" has the advantage of allowing liberals to refuse to debate it.

Here's MSNBC's Joy Reid dismissing Christopher Rufo, a Manhattan Institute scholar, brought on her show putatively to debate CRT: "Are you like an expert in race or racial history? Are you a lawyer? Are you a legal scholar? Is that part of your background?"

How else could Rufo possibly understand a "theory" that says:

America is racist!

Criminal law is racist!

Policing is racist!

Arrests are racist!

Incarceration is racist!

Standardized tests are racist!

Mortgages are racist!

Oh my gosh, how am I ever going to master this complex theory? I thought the quantum field theory of subatomic particle forces was tough, but this? I guess I'll be hitting the books tonight.

CRT is like the Monty Python sketch, "Anne Elk's Theory on Brontosauruses":

Anne Elk: "My theory, that belongs to me, is as follows ... (throat clearing) This is how it goes ... (clears throat) The next thing I'm going to say is my theory. (clears throat) Ready?"

Presenter: (whimpers)

Anne Elk: "My Theory, by A. Elk (Miss). This theory goes as follows and begins now ...

"All brontosauruses are thin at one end; much, much thicker in the middle and then thin again at the far end. That is my theory, it is mine and belongs to me, and I own it and what it is, too."

Presenter: "That's it, is it?"

CRT advocates talk in hushed tones about where the "theory" was "invented," like they're describing the apple falling on Newton's head.

In fact, CRT grew out of black student protests in the 1970s, forcing universities to hire more black professors. That's literally how the father of critical race theory, Derrick Bell, got his job. Black students protested the lack of black professors, so Bell was given a professorship at Harvard Law School.

How'd you like to be hired by the (then) premier university in the world, not based on the excellence of your scholarship, but because of students threatening to burn the campus down? Instead of being embarrassed and hoping no one ever asked how he got his job, Bell rationalized his hiring by accusing Harvard of ... well, I'd tell you, but it's too complex for you to understand. On the other hand, I don't know how else to convey the intricacies of this deeply intellectual theorem, except to just state it:

Bell accused Harvard of ... RACISM!

And thus a new academic discipline was born. (I guess all the new hires had to teach something.)

The idea that our country is steeped in white supremacy is laughable. Most of what built this country had nothing to do with race conquering the West, the invention of electricity, the telephone, the automobile, airplanes and steamboats, bringing drinking water to Manhattan, smashing the Nazi war machine and on and on and on.

I'm sorry, Black America, but all this was happening with or without you.

Yes, slavery was an abomination, the worst thing that ever happened within the borders of the United States. But there are whole vast areas of the American economy that didn't have anything to do with slavery.

In fact and to the contrary, the slave economy had turned the South into a backwater. If the South had won the Civil War, not only would slavery have continued, but half the country would have had a primitive third world economy.

No need to feel bad about it. The main players in America's explosive growth weren't women, immigrants, Hispanics or Asians, either. Somehow we got over it. On the plus side, we get to live in the best country in the world.

Jealousy and obsessive self-regard are not the stuff of an intellectual movement. The daily denunciation of white men is more akin to the tantrum of a 4-year-old.

Which, by the way, is exactly how liberals think of black Americans. If there were an international symbol for liberals, it would be one adult patting another on the head. Otherwise, liberals would just come out and say: CRT's not a theory! It isn't complex, it isn't interesting, and it isn't true. (Also: We think you're capable of getting a voter ID.) Instead, liberals coo to the CRT devotees, It is your birthday every day!

Gutfeld! Is The Right’s Inevitable Answer to Stephen Colbert – PRIMETIMER

The new late-night vehicle for longtime Fox News Channel contributor Greg Gutfeld, excitedly named Gutfeld!, is the ratings surprise of the year. Since debuting this spring it has routinely finished second in the ratings to Stephen Colberts Late Show and, despite being on cable instead of network, it often comes in second to Colbert among all shows inthe 25-to-54 demo hour. This is entirely appropriate, because Gutfeld! islargely an answer to the partisanship of Colberts show.

Before you reach for your keyboard: I didnt say it was like Colberts show. If youre a big fan of Colberts show, youll probably hate Gutfeld! But its arrival was inevitable. In the current politicized atmosphere of American entertainment, having a right-wing answer to Colbert was too tempting for Fox News to pass up.And Gutfeld was the obvious choice to host, since he had experience running Foxs overnight yukfest Red Eye from 2007 to 2015. On that show Gutfeld would review offbeat news stories and the foibles of Democrats with a panel that included comedians, entertainment writers, and other not-obviously-right-wing-shills. Imagine Chelsea Handler as a Republican and youd be close.

But the new Gutfeld! is less like Red Eye and more like The Five, Fox News answer to The View. There are fewer wacky news items and more harangues.The panelists all seem like they were vetted by Hannitys people. Disillusioned ex-Red Eye panelists say they hate the new show. Gossip stories portray Gutfeld as a Lonesome Rhodes type, a onetime folksy dude who let success go to his head and now specializes in alienating those around him. (If you thought Meghan McCain leaving The View was dramatic, that was a model of decorum compared with Juan Williams leaving The Five reportedly because he couldnt take any more of Gutfeld.)

All of this may be true, but I also have to admitthat I kind of like Gutfeld! The host has an appealingly weird personality. I met Robert Bork once, he offered during a recent roundtable. Best smoker I ever saw. And yes, the flashes of anger are undeniable, but every comic will tell you thats part of the package. We should start calling Jen Psaki Miss Information, Gutfeld said, archly raising his eyebrowsin the direction of radio host Lauren Chen. How do I come up with this stuff, Lauren?

And once you get beyond the tactlessopening bit unfunny cold opens are a specialty of the Colbert show as well the banter is relatively amusing. And the panelists do score some not unfair points about the usual suspects, which these days includewoke Hollywood, woke Biden, woke protestors, woke cities and woke CNN anchors. Also, I miss seeingRepublicans in late night. Theyve been almost completely shut out. Jimmy Kimmel has COVID denier Adam Carolla on his show occasionally, but that feels more like the times David Letterman would have comic George Miller on his show, not because hes funny but because you dont give up on your old friends.

Its part of a wider politicization of late-night TV that Ive bemoaned before. But this is not the national crisis that Trumpists make it out to be. Most of the people who have been canceled are still making bank. Theyre even burnishing their brands with appearances on shows like Canceled in the USA. The real problem is that entertainment is now subject to the same echo-chamber effect as news. Colbert has his anti-Trump parody videos, so it was only a matter of time before Gutfeld! came along and started doing pro-Trump parodies.

What I really miss is the sound of interesting clashes between conservatives and liberals. And there once was a show that featured that and did it well. It was called Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher and it was literally canceled by ABC. Maher had carefully cultivated a following for his show featuring the likes of Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter sparring with lefty celebrity types. It graduated from Comedy Central to ABC, which paired it up with Nightline. All was going well until six days after 9/11. With the Twin Towers still smoking and Americans still reeling, one of Mahers guests, the conservative provocateur and future Trump pardonee Dinesh DSouza, pushed back against President Bushs characterization of the 9/11 attackers as cowards. Au contraire, said DSouza, they were warriors because they were willing to be slammed into concrete for their cause. Maher completely agreed, adding that Americans had been the cowards, lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. In the outrage that followed, sponsors and affiliates began dropping Politically Incorrect and ABC parted ways with Maher.

About a year later heemerged on HBO as host of his currentshowReal Time. I interviewed him early on (oddly at the same offices and studio hed been using for Politically Incorrect). Maher promised he would continue to have pro-Bush as well as anti-Bush viewpoints represented on his new show. He even wanted to try to balance the number of Democrats and Republicans in his studio audience. But that didnt last long. The Great Sort was underway, and soon it became clear the only people who wanted to be in his audience were Democrats. Maher, no dummy, went with the flow.

And now, all these many years later, we have Gutfeld! with a pro-Fox News studio audience, pro-Fox News panelists, pro-Fox News punchlines, and presiding over it all, the former overnight sensation turned company man, a fellow who used to fulminate at his fellow panelists for excessive Trumpsplaining who now cant Trumpsplain enough. (Why the hysteria over January 6 as opposed to the ongoing violence in Portland, Atlanta, San Francisco, L.A., New York, Seattle? he ranted the other night. Oh, I dont know, maybe because one of those types of violence is ongoing and the other is unprecedented?) It's in lockstep withthe Fox News base, just as Colbert's showiswith his liberal base. I guess we can be thankful some Fox smart-aleck didnt name itPolitically Incorrect with Greg Gutfeld!

Gutfeld! airs weeknights on Fox News at 11:00 PM ET/8:00 PM PT

Bill Maher may be the only person who can save the left from itself – New York Post

One day in 2019 while sitting in my LA home, I received a call from a familiar voice who said Bill could meet us at the Polo Lounge on Friday after his show.

Bill, who? I asked.

Bill Maher, responded Ann Coulter. Remember our discussion earlier in the week?

I had forgotten she mentioned us having dinner with him.

As we waited for Maher to arrive, I already felt a rush of excitement from the robust conversation I knew we would have. And robust it was. If you could have been a fly on the wall and heard this conversation, you may have been shocked to learn how reasonable Maher is on some issues.

I know what you are probably thinking: Bill Maher is reasonable?

After all, this is the guy who has made a career of beating up on Republicans weekly, not to mention questioning values like faith in God.

Yet, despite all this, it appears Maher, host of HBOs Real Time with Bill Maher, has become the most prominent voice of reason on the left at a time when there doesnt seem to be many reasonable voices on the left at all.

Recently Maher spoke out against those who allege America has made no progress toward racial reconciliation. He used the term progressophobia, calling it a brain disorder that strikes liberals and makes them incapable of recognizing progress. Its like situational blindness, only what you cant see is that your dorm in 2021 is better than the South before the Civil War.

Maher is absolutely correct. The notion that America has made no progress toward a more perfect union is an absurd, false narrative. Yet the left, especially the Democratic Party, continues to push this poison on the American people. It seems the Democrats would, contrary to their rhetoric, rather keep the lie going to lock in a permanent base of African-American voters than tell the truth and seek national unity.

I discuss such hypocrisy of the Democratic Party regarding race in America with NFL Super Bowl winner and Republican Rep. Burgess Owens on a recent episode of my podcast, Outloud with Gianno Caldwell.

In his important diatribe against progressivism run amok, Maher even goes after fellow comedian Kevin Hart, who is arguably the biggest star in the business.

Theres a recurrent theme on the far left that things have never been worse! Maher exclaimed. Kevin Hart expressed a view many hold when he told the New York Times, Youre witnessing white power and white privilege at an all-time high.

This is one of the big problems with wokeness, Maher continued, that what you say doesnt have to make sense or jive with the facts or even be challenged lest the challenge be conflated with racism.

This wasnt the first time Maher attacked his own side. Back in April, Maher shocked people when he defended Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, from the media and the Democratic Party. In a segment on his HBO talk show, Maher said DeSantis is a voracious consumer of the scientific literature who got it right on COVID.

And maybe thats why he protected his most vulnerable population, the elderly, way better than did the governor of New York, Maher added, knocking New Yorks Democratic governor, Andrew Cuomo. Those are just facts; I know its irresponsible of me to say them.

Maher may be a staunch liberal, but hes a voice of reason on the left, unafraid to call out wokeness run amok. If the above moments dont convince you, check out his take on progressives push for free college.

I know that free college is a left-wing thing, but is it really liberal for someone who doesnt go to college and makes less money to pay for people who do go and make more? Maher asked. Especially since colleges have turned into giant luxury day care centers with overpaid babysitters anxious to indulge every student whim.

You may wonder why Maher has taken such a turn against his party and the media. Heres one answer: Hes staunchly politically incorrect. Indeed, in an interview with Jordan Peterson, Maher said political correctness is the elevation of sensitivity over truth. Hes right again.

I hope the left is listening, because Maher seems to be the only major voice on the left that still believes in common sense on several issues even in the face of cancel culture, which he rightly views as ridiculous and stupid.

Last weekend Maher made another excellent point about director Lin-Manuel Miranda. Miranda, who is of Puerto Rican heritage, was slammed on Twitter because the cast of his movie, In the Heights, about the Washington Heights area of New York City, did not represent the Afro-Latinx community. After Miranda issued a long, agonized apology, Maher clapped back: Youre the guy who made the founding fathers black and Hispanic! I dont think you have to apologize to Twitter. Maher said he doesnt think Miranda really believes an apology is in order but he just wants to avoid the news cycle, and I dont blame him, adding, This is why people hate Democrats; Its cringey. Once again, Maher couldnt be more correct in his assertion.

To be clear, Maher gets it wrong plenty of times, from Russiagate to his criticism of Sen. Joe Manchin, who is apparently the only Democrat in the Senate who believes bipartisanship should be more than a talking point.

But looking at the big picture, I have concluded that Bill Maher is the only person who can save the left from itself. Whether Democrats heed Mahers warnings or continue their descent into woke madness remains an open question.
