Prosecutor in Rittenhouse Case Floored After Judge Releases Decision and Shuts Down Any Attempt to Argue It
CORRECTION, Feb. 19, 2021: This article originally claimed that Rittenhouse said he traveled across the Illinois-Wisconsin border to Kenosha, Wisconsin, with his AR-15-type rifle. In fact, a Wisconsin man, Dominick Black, told authorities he bought the weapon at a hardware store in Wisconsin, WMAQ-TV reported. Prosecutors have not accused Rittenhouse of possessing the weapon in Illinois, where he lived, according to USA Today. We apologize for the error, and have updated our article accordingly.

Trump Goes After Biden: 'Either Not Telling the Truth or Mentally Gone'
UPDATE, Feb. 18, 2021: Following the publication of this article, the fact-checking outlet PolitiFact posted an article titled "In Context: What Joe Biden said about the vaccine supply he found when he took office." After citing examples of Biden critics lambasting the president's claim that "we didn’t have [the vaccine] when we came into office," PolitiFact argued that "These are examples of Biden’s political opponents taking words out of context." "You can judge his meaning for yourself, but it’s clear to us that Biden didn’t mean there were no vaccines available before he took office," PolitiFact said. This seems to be a questionable claim, however. Biden did indeed say "we didn't have" the vaccine when he took office. His words were clear, despite PolitiFact's apparent attempt to argue that the words he said actually meant something else. This does not mean that this was anything more than a gaffe, only that a reasonable person would, after hearing this statement from the president, assume he was asserting vaccines were not available on Jan. 20, 2021. In fact, even Glenn Kessler, the editor and chief "fact-checker" at the liberal-leaning Washington Post, acknowledged on Twitter that Biden's remark "was a verbal stumble, a typical Biden gaffe." That being said, PolitiFact is correct in noting the additional context to Biden's remarks, which The Western Journal is including in this update. "We have -- we came into office, there was only 50 million doses that were available. We have now -- by the end of July, we’ll have over 600 million doses -- enough to vaccinate every single American," Biden said, according to a White House transcript of his remarks. "Here, look, we -- what we did -- we got into office and found out the supply -- there was no backlog. I mean, there was nothing in the refrigerator, figuratively and literally speaking, and there were 10 million doses a day that were available," the president also said. Both those statements came before Biden's assertion that "we didn’t have [the vaccine] when we came into office," thus suggesting that the president was at least somewhat aware that a vaccine had, in fact, been developed and authorized before he took office. However, the gaffe-prone Biden made the now-infamous claim anyway. While it is important to recognize Biden's remarks in their full context, it is inaccurate to argue, as PolitiFact did, that Biden's words did not mean what they sounded like they meant.

Revealed: Holier-Than-Thou Anti-Trump Bruce Springsteen Nailed on DWI in New Jersey
UPDATE, Feb. 11, 2021: Following the publication of this story, additional reporting has come to light providing more information about the context in which Bruce Springsteen was arrested. A source familiar with the case told the Asbury Park Press that his blood-alcohol content was 0.02, which is one-quarter of the legal limit in New Jersey. However, a music industry insider told the New York Post that Springsteen was driving his motorcycle when he “was spotted by fans who asked him to pull over and take some pictures." “Bruce stopped, took the pictures, then a fan offered him a shot of liquor, which he took, while sitting on his bike, which was stationary,” the source said. “Park Police saw what happened and they immediately pulled Springsteen over as he drove away.” While it has not been confirmed that Springsteen was intoxicated beyond the legal limit, the New York Post's reporting suggests some poor judgment, at the very least. This commentary, therefore, remains below largely as published:
