Two Daily Caller journalists, as well as other reporters, sustained injuries from police officers while covering protests in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin and were detained for breaking curfew, despite identifying themselves as press. In video footage from the incident, Daily Caller Chief Video Director Richie McGinnis is filming an arrest being made by officers when he is asked to show his press badge, which he does. He is then told to leave the area, an order he complies with. “Don’t let me catch you!” an officer yells as the journalist is walking away. “I’m out,” McGinnis says, making his way to a car […]

There’s plenty of reasons to worry in Wisconsin these days. While the crucial swing state maintains its standing as a national hotspot for the coronavirus and spiking cases and hospitalizations have alarmed health experts and local officials, Republicans there are continuing to attack Democratic Gov. Tony Evers over the emergency authority he’s relying on to try and combat the virus. “I don’t care if (the governor’s) actions are warranted or not warranted, he is illegally acting,” said state Sen. Chris Kapenga, a Republican who opposes the governor’s mask order and is upset the governor isn’t working with the legislature when Kapenga […]
After hospitalizations for Covid-19 nearly tripled over the past month, straining Wisconsin’s healthcare system, Governor Tony Evers has announced the state will open a field hospital outside Milwaukee to handle the surge. Speaking alongside health officials on Wednesday, Evers announced the field hospital would open next week on the state fairgrounds outside Milwaukee. Built months ago, in anticipation of an expected surge in infection, the facility had sat disused until now. According to the state Department of Health Services, just 16 percent of Wisconsin’s hospital beds were available as of Tuesday afternoon. Some 853 patients infected with the coronavirus are hospitalized […]
Madison police found no evidence to corroborate Althea Bernstein’s claim four white men tried to set her on fire during a night of riots in the Wisconsin capital in June, but will not charge her with filing a false report. Bernstein, 18, had claimed that four white men sprayed her with lighter fluid through the open window of her car as she sat at a red light in downtown Madison, then threw a flaming lighter at her while yelling racial slurs. She suffered burns on her neck and face and had them treated at a local hospital. Her case had attracted […]
Trump’s Campaigning Could Not Come at a Worse Time During COVID-19 Pandemic Wisconsin governor calls on Trump to consider canceling rallies amid Covid surge https://t.co/28iEvdTfOG — The Guardian (@guardian) October 1, 2020 Health Editor’s Note: Trump needs to win Wisconsin votes, to win re-election so he plans to have not one but two rallies this Saturday in Green Bay and LaCrosse. Despite the 22% increasing coronavirus infections in that state as well as other states in the U.S. Trump plans to politic on. COVID-19 be damned. Coincidentally, Trump is on his campaign trail as a Cornell University study suggests that Trump […]
On Tuesday night, Avengers star Mark Ruffalo joined a socially distant version of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. After exchanging some light pleasantries, the two got down to business, discussing the shooting of Jacob Blake—by a police officer, seven times in the back; the ongoing protests and riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin; and Trump’s divisive rhetoric in the wake of it all. You see, the Oscar-nominated actor is perhaps the most famous living person from Kenosha—since Orson Welles is no longer with us—and as such, the unrest in the city hit close to home, literally. “These protests have been predominately peaceful.

In the fall of 2018, I returned to my hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to help fix a broken health department. Among other scandals, the agency had failed to follow through on monitoring for possible lead poisoning among local children. As the only Black woman health officer in the state, the luster of being in the role wore off rather quickly. Mostly, I found myself praying that things wouldn’t get any worse. Fast forward to late 2019. We were paying attention to Wuhan, China. But just like other emerging deadly diseases like Ebola and SARS, we suspected COVID-19 was something that couldn’t […]
KENOSHA, Wisconsin—The first time Joe Biden was scheduled to arrive in Wisconsin was two weeks ago to celebrate his ascent to the top of the Democratic presidential ticket. Instead, when he stepped off a plane on Thursday, he and his wife, Jill, encountered a family in mourning and a city hurting from the physical and emotional toll of systematic racism. The bleak circumstances gave Biden a forum to show how he would attempt to mend the nation struggling with cycles of crisis and demonstrate just how different he is from President Donald Trump, who was in the same location just two […]
So off goes Joe Biden to Kenosha on Thursday with wife, Jill, to host a town hall meeting and “to make a local stop,” as the press release put it, which we can perhaps presume means a visit to Jacob Blake’s family (sans nonexistent pastor). I guess this is a good idea. The first principle of campaigning against a bully is don’t be bullied. Show you’re not intimidated. Biden did that successfully Monday in Pittsburgh—his rhetoric was pugnacious and direct. So don’t leave the Kenosha optics to Donald Trump. Show you’ll play on his turf. But there’s a tightrope Biden has […]
Another day, another off-the-rails interview featuring a Trump campaign flack fighting with a CNN host while defending President Donald Trump’s latest insane controversy and embrace of conspiracies. In a lengthy and extremely combative exchange Wednesday morning on CNN, Trump’s campaign press secretary Hogan Gidley was immediately pressed by anchor Jim Sciutto on the president’s recent visit to Kenosha, the site of violent protests following the police shooting of Jacob Blake. “During his trip, the president defended a man, a 17-year-old now accused of homicide. He did not mention Jacob Blake’s name once there,” Sciutto wondered aloud. “Why is that?” Gidley argued that […]
If you don’t think Donald Trump could still win this election, then you’re snorting better Xanax than I am. Trump is a preternaturally gifted demagogue with riots and a bully pulpit to exploit. He has three debates still on the calendar, a history of stunning everyone, and a couple of months to work his magic. Counting him out at a time when cities are on fire would be insane. And here’s another reason: There are millions of potential voters out there you’ve probably never even thought of. And unlike the assumption that “bringing in new voters” means moderating your message or […]
As the end of convention season brings with it the final stretch of a years-long presidential campaign, a hauntingly familiar feeling is in the air in Minnesota, slowly alarming Democrats as November approaches—the chill of 2016. Four years ago, Minnesota was supposed to be a breezy, no-drama pickup for Hillary Clinton. Neither the Clinton nor Trump campaigns bothered investing any significant resources there, and certainly not much in-person time—Trump flew in for a last-minute rally days before Election Day; Clinton never set foot in the state as the Democratic nominee. Clinton won Minnesota’s 10 electoral votes by a mere 1.5 percent, […]
President Donald Trump jumped to the defense Monday of the Midwestern teenager who has been charged with the murder of two protesters following the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin. “We’re looking at all of it,” Trump said during a press conference Monday when asked by a reporter if he would “condemn the actions of vigilantes like Kyle Rittenhouse.” “That was an interesting situation,” Trump said. “You saw the same tape as I saw and he was trying to get away from them, I guess, looks like. And he fell and then they very violently attacked him and it […]
In a piercing appraisal of the growing strife unraveling under President Donald Trump’s first term, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden accused him of stoking, and even starting, civil unrest that is proliferating across the country. Trump has been a “toxic presence in our nation for four years” who is “poisoning our very democracy,” Biden said forcefully in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The speech offered a moment of methodical, even urgent, messaging for Biden, who sought to cast the president as an unjust and dangerous leader who spews falsehoods in an effort to gain a political advantage. “This president long ago forfeited any moral […]
Here we go. It’s law and order week. And with the eyes of the nation fixed on Kenosha, Joe Biden is going to… southwestern Pennsylvania, to give a speech on why you aren’t safe in Donald Trump’s America. And Trump is going to Kenosha on Tuesday. So we confront one of the enduring questions of American presidential politics, which goes back to Richard Nixon’s time: Can the Republicans scare enough white people into thinking that their beautiful suburb is going to be taken over by Black criminals if the Democrat wins? Pretty much every liberal I know is terrified that the […]
On Sunday night, John Oliver dedicated all of his HBO show Last Week Tonight to two stories: the Republican National Convention and the events in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The portion of the chaotic, low-rated RNC that Oliver seemed to take particular issue with was the testimony of Mark and Patricia McCloskey, a couple who were there purely because they pulled guns on non-threatening, unarmed Black Lives Matter protesters for walking by their home in St. Louis, Missouri, on the way to protest outside a different home. “They want to abolish the suburbs altogether by ending single-family home zoning. This forced rezoning would […]
On Saturday, White House spokesperson Judd Deere confirmed that US President Donald Trump intends to visit Wisconsin’s city of Kenosha on Tuesday to “meet with local law enforcement and survey damage” from an ongoing wave of anti-racism and anti-police brutality protests in the city triggered by the recent police shooting of Jacob Blake. Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers on Sunday expressed concern about US President Donald Trump’s planned Tuesday visit to the city of Kenosha amid an ongoing wave of anti-racism and anti-police brutality protests, calling on the president to “reconsider” his plans. The governor argued that the president’s presence in Kenosha […]
Following a night of violent protests in Portland that left one person dead, CNN State of the Union host Dana Bash repeatedly confronted Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) on whether or not President Donald Trump’s increasingly divisive rhetoric was “inflaming” and “agitating” tensions in the country. Highlighting the violence in Portland and the recent vigilante shootings in Kenosha, Bash kicked off her interview by recapping the president’s comments and tweets in which he called on the Portland mayor to resign, labeled protesters as thugs, and claimed American cities are in chaos. “You are the chairman, as I mentioned, of the Senate Homeland […]
The most powerful live TV moment during an NBA broadcast this week didn’t come when 21-year-old phenom Luka Dončić made history with a buzzer-beating deep three-point shot to become the youngest player to score a 40-point triple-double in the playoffs. It actually happened about 30 minutes into NBA TV’s broadcast of a first-round game five between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Orlando Magic that was no longer going to happen due to a players strike. Former NBA player Jim Jackson, the on-air analyst who was supposed to offer in-game commentary, instead reacted in real time to news of the Bucks’ protest […]
The Daily Caller’s Richie McGinniss appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight and described hearing shots fired in Kenosha before Kyle Rittenhouse used his weapon to defend himself. McGinniss was just feet away when the shooting occurred. McGinniss told Carlson that he was just ten to twelve feet behind the rioters as they ran into the parking lot to charge Rittenhouse. “What I saw was [Joseph] Rosenbaum pursuing Rittenhouse, and Rittenhouse turned around,” McGinniss began. “Right before he turned around, I’m not sure if this is the reason he turned around, but there was a gun shot. That’s actually visible on video.” TRENDING: BREAKING: […]
Jacob Blake’s father has questioned the drastically different treatment his son received from Wisconsin police compared to a white suspect accused of opening fire and killing two people who were protesting Blake’s shooting. Blake was shot seven times by Kenosha police officers last Sunday evening as he got into a car with his family. The shooting sparked days of protests in the city and, on Wednesday night, two of those protesters were shot dead. The suspect has been named as white 17-year-old vigilante and Blue Lives Matter fan Kyle Rittenhouse. Jacob Blake Sr. spoke to CNN’s New Day on Friday, and […]
KENOSHA, Wisconsin—Kyle Rittenhouse, the teen vigilante charged with murdering protesters in Kenosha, allegedly shot one of them after they accosted him and threw a plastic bag in his direction. The Kenosha County District Attorney’s Office filed five felony charges against Rittenhouse on Thursday, including first-degree intentional homicide and first-degree reckless homicide, as well as a misdemeanor charge of possession of a deadly weapon. The big-time Blue Lives Matter fan allegedly armed himself with a Smith & Wesson AR-15 style .223 rifle and traveled half an hour from his home in Antioch, Illinois, to Kenosha, Wisconsin on Tuesday. He was photographed scrubbing […]
As Kenosha, Wisconsin, continues to reel from the police shooting of Jacob Blake, residents are increasingly turning their anger to so-called outside agitators who some say invaded the city to sow chaos amongst the protests—and even kill demonstrators. “They [outsiders] tore up our neighborhood, this is our neighborhood, this is where we shop at. These are not Kenosha people,” Lonnie Stewart, 60, told The Daily Beast. “They’re coming to Kenosha, Wisconsin to destroy our city.” Immediately after a Kenosha police officer shot 29-year-old Blake in the back several times as he tried to get into a van with his kids on […]
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) arrived in person on Thursday ready to deliver arguably her most forceful—and strategic—admonishment of President Donald Trump in the general election. After briefly addressing the natural disasters imperiling the country, wildfires in California and Hurricane Laura in Louisiana and Texas, Harris set her sights on the human-generated horrors gripping the nation. “On the eve of the 57th March on Washington, I will speak about the recent events in Kenosha, Wisconsin,” Harris said, starting out a powerful 20-minute speech. “Jacob Blake shot seven times in the back in broad daylight in front of his three young sons. Seven […]
This past week two men were shot dead in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Both men were rioting with BLM and had prior arrest records. They happened to literally bump into each other. A short time later they were both dead. We reported this morning that young Kyle Rittenhouse has been charged with murder in Kenosha. The gun toting 17-year-old shot at least three men in what may be self-defense. Rittenhouse was filmed earlier in the day cleaning up Kenosha after prior nights’ riots. Then as night comes the young Rittenhouse is filmed speaking on camera. Rittenhouse is talking with bystanders with no indication […]
At 9:30 p.m., as hundreds of protesters marched down Kenosha’s streets to protest a police shooting that left 29-year-old Jacob Blake paralyzed, National Association of Police Organizations President Michael McHale took to the stage at the Republican convention to chide Democrats for disrespecting America’s police officers. “Chaos results when elected officials in cities like Portland, Minneapolis, Chicago, and New York make the conscious and very public decision not to support law enforcement,” McHale told millions of Americans who have watched as scenes of police violence consume our daily lives. “The violence we are seeing… isn’t happening by chance; it’s the direct […]
Stephen Colbert opened his show Wednesday night with a confession. “Now, full disclosure: I did not watch much of the convention tonight. And fullest disclosure: I did not watch any of it,” the Late Show host said. “Because right now in America, we’re facing a global pandemic that has killed 180,000 Americans, heavily armed Rambo wannabes are murdering people in our streets, the strongest hurricane in the history of the Gulf Coast is making landfall as I speak, and the RNC’s message is: Who’s up for four more years?” “I know by not watching the RNC I didn’t do my job […]
Before the NBA kicked off its rebooted season in Disney World, promises were made. The league and Commissioner Adam Silver swore that despite being ensconced in a semipermeable bubble in Orlando, Florida, players would in no way be hindered from participating in the nationwide uprising against police brutality and state-sanctioned violence largely inflicted upon people of color. In fact, their voices would not only be heard, but amplified, according to Silver, as long as they continued to both literally and figuratively play ball. At the time, some players weren’t convinced. They voiced concerns that once the vast bulk of the sports-loving […]

The incident sparked large demonstrations, some of which saw violence, arsons and looting, causing Wisconsin governor to declare a state of emergency. White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said, cited by Edward Keenan, a columnist of Toronto Star, that Washington deployed almost 1,000 National Guard and over 200 federal law enforcement personnel including FBI and US Marshals in Wisconsin to help curb the unrest spanning the city of Kenosha after the shooting of […]
There was a knife under the seat of Jacob Blake’s car, where he was reaching when Kenosha police officer Rusten Sheskey shot him, the Wisconsin Department of Justice has revealed. The incident touched off three days of riots. Sheskey, a 7-year veteran of the Kenosha PD, was among the officers dispatched on Sunday to a call from a woman who said “her boyfriend was present and was not supposed to be on the premises,” the Wisconsin DOJ Division of Criminal Investigation said in a statement on Wednesday. Finding Blake on the site, the officers tried to arrest him, but he resisted. He ignored […]
The Wisconsin Department of Justice (DoJ) identified the police officer who shot 29-year-old Jacob Blake as Rustin Sheskey. Sheskey has been a police officer with the Kenosha Police Department for seven years. According to a DoJ press release, there is no body camera footage of the incident, as the Kenosha Police Department does not have any body cameras. During an investigation following the incident, Blake admitted to having a knife in his possession. The DoJ Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) recovered the knife from the driver’s side floorboard of Blake’s car. No additional weapons were found in the car. According to […]
Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul identified the Kenosha police officer who shot Jacob Blake seven times in the back as Rusten Sheskey, an officer who had seven years’ experience on the job. In the first update on the shooting since a brief statement this weekend, Kaul said on Wednesday night that officers were dispatched to a Kenosha home on Sunday after a woman reported that a boyfriend was present and wasn’t supposed to be there. Officers attempted to arrest Blake, 29, and deployed a Taser to no effect, Kaul said. Blake walked around his car, opened the driver’s side door and […]
Citizens in Kenosha, Wisconsin have taken it upon themselves to protect local businesses amid ongoing riots and unrest, with armed vigilantes seen taking to rooftops and storefronts to ward off looting and vandalism. Kenosha saw its third consecutive night of disorder on Tuesday, sparked after the police shooting of 29-year-old Jacob Blake, a black man, during a domestic ordeal over the weekend. Protests hours after the incident soon boiled into riots, seeing looters ransack countless businesses on Monday, while arsonists ignited some 37 fires. The chaos in the city has yet to reach the levels seen the night prior, with armed […]
Before Jacob Blake was shot at least seven times in the back on Sunday night, the Kenosha, Wisconsin police department had long been plagued by aggressive officers, claims of corruption, and a lack of accountability—including the grisly beating of two teenagers on video and a fatal shooting by a cop who was on his first day back at work after another shooting. “Corruption, lies, multiple evidence plantings, and deceit existed throughout the entire Kenosha criminal justice system,” concluded one report, commissioned by the Wisconsin state Supreme Court in 2017 after officers allegedly lied and planted evidence in a murder case. Bystander […]
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – Lawyers for the Kenosha, Wisconsin police shooting victim Jacob Blake said they were filing a civil lawsuit to seek financial remedy for the man that a video clip showed being shot at least seven times from behind by police officers apprehending him. “He has a long road to recovery. We are going to hope and pray for as good a recovery as we can possibly get,” Blake’s family attorney Patrick Salvi said on Tuesday, adding that the 29-year-old had suffered kidney, liver and intestinal damage aside from early confirmation of paralysis. “That type of rehabilitation and recovery is […]
As Kenosha, Wisconsin, braces for a third night of protests against the shooting of Jacob Blake, the 29-year-old’s family on Tuesday decried racial injustice while calling for peace and the “healing of our country.” “My son has been fighting for his life, and we just really need prayers. As I was riding through here, through the city, I noticed a lot of damage. That doesn’t reflect my son or my family,” Julia Jackson, Blake’s mother, said in a Tuesday press conference. “If Jacob knew what was going on, as far as that goes, the violence & destruction, he would be very […]
Governor Tony Evers is sending more Wisconsin National Guard troops to Kenosha to protect state property, but residents seem to be largely left on their own as riots over the police shooting of Jacob Blake show no sign of ending. “We are assessing the damage to state property and will be increasing the presence of the Wisconsin National Guard to ensure individuals can exercise their right safely, protect state buildings and critical infrastructure, and support first responders and fire fighters [sic],” Evers tweeted on Tuesday. The governor also declared a state of emergency over the ongoing “protests” in Kenosha, near the […]

After an evening of unrest over the police shooting of Jacob Blake, Wisconsin authorities vowed that “justice will be served” as the city of Kenosha imposed a curfew and the governor called in the National Guard.

Video surfaced Sunday night of police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, shooting a Black man in the back at close range as he got into a car following what they called a “domestic dispute.” Witnesses told the Kenosha News that the man, later identified as Jacob Blake, had just tried to break up a fight between two women.

Wisconsin belongs to the category of swing states (states that could reasonably be won by either candidate) and was instrumental in Trump’s victory in 2016. Democrats have long claimed that West launched his presidential campaign to divert Arfican American votes from Joe Biden. The rapper in turn accused Democrats of conspiring against him. Kanye West’s name will not appear on the presidential ballot in Wisconsin, because his team submitted petitions after the 5 p.m. deadline on 4 August, ruled Wisconsin Elections Commission. The commission consisting of three Republicans and three Democrats voted 5-1 in favour of keeping West off the ballot. […]
Wins have been hard to come by for Tony Evers during the coronavirus pandemic. The first-term Wisconsin governor, like many of his contemporaries, has had to contend with the partisan backlash that has come with the policies brought about by the public health crisis—but unlike other Democratic governors, he’s been overruled, outmaneuvered or taken down by state Republicans to the point that even a key legislative ally concedes Evers’ approach has been impacted. That dynamic would be difficult to navigate anywhere, but given Wisconsin’s status as a key swing state heading into November’s general election, the stakes can be even more […]

They also declared emailing or faxing of absentee ballots unconstitutional. Judge Frank Easterbrook wrote the opinion for the court, rejecting the argument […]

A Wisconsin gym and and its umbrella company Anytime Fitness, which issued it a franchise, has apologised after an instructor offered clients a workout referencing some of George Floyd’s last words – “I can’t breathe”.

On that day, citizens who wished to exercise their right to vote in the state’s political primary were forced to go in person to the polls. Strong opposition and a series of court rulings had foreclosed earlier hopes for […]

Tony Evers The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Wednesday tossed out Democrat Governor Tony Evers’s authoritarian Coronavirus lockdown order in a 4-3 decision, ruling it “unlawful” and “unenforceable.” The high court ruled Evers’s administration overstepped its authority when it extended the Coronavirus shutdown for another month without discussing it with the state legislators. The state Department of Health Services (unelected bureaucrats) issued the extension of the order to May 26 after only 421 Coronavirus deaths in the entire state!
