Ann Coulter: The Daunte Wright NYT Readers Dont Know!

Theyre doing it again. The New York Times is aggressively hiding relevant facts on a matter of public interest simply in order to promote the narrative of black victimhood.

OK, we didnt get away with it last time, but we probably will this time. Lets try!

Daunte Wright is the half-black man fatally shot by a police officer in Minnesota earlier this year. According to Nexis, he has appeared in well over 100 articles in the Times. But one thing Times readers will never be told is that Wright was facing criminal charges for trying tochoke a woman to deathwhile robbing her at gunpoint.

They will also never hear about the lawsuit accusing Wright and an accomplice of shooting a guy during acarjacking.

In a bold departure from customary practice, the Times did make two passing references to another lawsuit claiming Wrightshot a guy in the head,permanently disabling him, but in both cases, quickly added: The lawsuit offers no direct evidencetying Mr. Wright to the shooting.

And those are just the crimes hes accused of committing lately, during the brief year and a half since he turned 18 and was no longer treated as a juvenile.

When it comes to Wrights legal problems, the Times didnt even pull its usual trick of putting all the interesting information in paragraph 20. These grisly allegations, as set forth in police reports and lawsuits, have been completely, 100 percent censored from the Newspaper of Record.

This isnt a genteel refusal to put the victim on trial. Wrights short but exciting criminal record is highly relevant to theconvulsionsthis country has been going through since George Floyds death at the hands of the police in 2020 convulsionspainstakingly fosteredby the Times.

Contrary to the medias black victimhood narrative, theres a very good reason Wright was in a position to be confronted by the police and in a way that most people are not.

In addition to allegedly committing a slew of gun crimes before the age of 20 (based on only one year and six months of public records), Wright was stopped for driving withexpired license plate tags. He didnt have car insurance. He also didnt have a drivers license. (And yes, white people are busted for these infractions all the time.)

When the officers ran his name, they discovered that Wright was driving on a suspended license, there was arestraining order against him, and a bench warrantfor his arrest on a weapons charge. They hadno choice: They had to arrest him. But as one officer began to handcuff him, Wrightresisted, jumped back in his car, and was about to flee along with an officer trapped in the passenger window, trying to get control of the gears.

Thats when Wright got shot.

This composite image from two police body cam videos and one dash cam video shows the events of a traffic stop on April 11, 2021, that led to the shooting death of Daunte Wright. The videos were shown in court on December 13, 2021, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during the trial of former Brooklyn Center police officer Kim Potter for Wrights death. (Court TV via AP)

In other words, this case isnt exactly a primo example of Driving While Black. Thats why the New York Times hides all the pertinent facts.

For example, last week, the Times finally glancingly mentioned Wrights lack of a drivers license and insurance. (Thats if you dont count a recent article about how Minnesota lawsadversely affect minorities even regulations about drivers licenses and renewal of tags.)

On the other hand, the Times has run16 articlesabout Wrights air freshener! (E.g.: How a Common Air FreshenerCan Result in a High-Stakes Traffic Stop). That 16 more than all its articles on Hunter Bidens laptop!

What is the Times talking about? It seems that, immediately after the shooting,Wrights mother told the mediathat hed been stopped merely for having an air freshener hanging from his rearview mirror AND NOW HE WAS DEAD!

Thats completelyuntrue, but its the story the Times is going with. No new information will be allowed to penetrate the papers BLM cocoon.

Times reporters must have heard about the armed robbery/choking incident, because theyve repeatedly quoted Wrights accomplice in the crime, Emajay Driver. OnApril 13,November 30,December 8, andDecember 17the Times ran some version of this quote:

He loved to make people laugh, said Emajay Driver, a friend of Mr. Wright. He was just great to be around. There was never a dull moment.

And thats all we get from Mr. Driver.

New York Times:Say, we saw that police report about you and Daunte nearly choking a woman to death while committing an armed robbery. So naturally, we have to ask: Do you by any chance have any heartwarming stories about him?

Somewhat more important than Dauntes love of laughter are the details of that incident, given at length in Americas Greatest Newspaper, the U.K.s Daily Mail.

On December 1, 2019, Wright and Driver crashed at the apartment of a 20-year-old woman theyd been partying with. The next morning, the womans roommate went out to get $820 in rent money, handed it to her, then left for work.

Just before the attack, Wright locked himself in the victims bathroom for a noticeably long time in order to makevideos of himself with a gunand to empty abottle of hand sanitizeronto his gun. (Daunte, with his simple, trusting nature, apparently believed anurban legendthat sanitizer blocks fingerprints.)

Minutes later, as the three of them were exiting the apartment, Wright suddenly blocked the door, pointed the gun at the womans head, saying, Give me the f-ing money. I know you have it. (Me to the New York Times:Give us the f-ing facts. We know you have them.)

She refused, asking, Are you serious? Wright barked, Were not playing around, and grabbed her by the neck, choking her, as she dropped to her knees, with the gun in his other hand still pointed at her head. You look into his eyes, the victim later said, andits so evil.

Next, he tried ripping her shirt open to get the money, perhaps having seen her hiding it in her bra earlier. She screamed, and Wright began choking her again. (As Wrights accomplice so poignantly said, there was never a dull moment with this guy.)

Finally, Wright and Driver ran off, hopping into a white Cadillac that was waiting for them.

They were arrested five days later. Driver pleaded guilty to first-degree aggravated robbery, his second felony conviction. He was facing 20 years in prison, but only got probation, leading some to speculate that hed made a deal to testify against Wright.

Again: the Times hasnt printed a single detail of Wrights give-me-the-f-ing-money robbery attempt. Or the lawsuit about the carjacking. In one of more than 100 articles, there were two brief mentions of his alleged shooting a guy in the head.

As for the trial of Kim Potter, the officer who shot Wright, neither the prosecution nor defense disputes that it was a mistake, that she thought she was holding her Taser. Several officers, and the defenses use-of-force expert, testified that Potterwould have beenfully justified in shooting Wright in order to protect the other officer from being dragged by the car.

But Wright loved to make people laugh. Thats all the Times wants you to know.

Ann Coulter Calls Trump ‘Abjectly Stupid’ For Betraying …

Ann Coulter supported Donald Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign, but things have changed for the conservative pundit.

Now, she is questioning the former presidents intelligence and even accused him of betraying his base on a recent podcast appearance with Andrew Sullivan.

I was well familiar with what a narcissistic, ridiculous, tacky, vulgar, arriviste this guy was. That I knew about. The one thing I underestimated, in fact, did not see at all, is I had no idea how abjectly stupid the man is, Coulter admitted. I didnt think he was a genius, but I didnt think he was that stupid.

Coulters big gripe is that he ignored campaign promises he made to his loyal followers, a group she characterizes as these poor, left-behind Americans who were waiting their whole lives for someone to care about them. And he says he cares about them and he not only betrays them, but he lies to them.

To her, the big lie to Trump supporters was the promise of the giant border wall, which she considered key to any 2020 election victory.

The one thing hes got to do is build the wall. My theory was, if he doesnt build the wall he loses reelection. He didnt build the wall; he lost reelection, she said.

She also questioned his intelligence for emphasizing that border wall above everything else.

I couldnt imagine anyone could be so stupid to run on one thing. ... Hes just a very, very, very stupid man, she said.

By contrast, Coulter has found things to like about Joe Biden. Back in September, she praised the president for keeping another promise Trump broke and getting American troops out of Afghanistan, according to Business Insider.

Conservative pundit Ann Coulter says Trump is done – Fox 56

(The Hill) Conservative punditAnn Coulteris predicting the end ofDonald Trumps hegemony in the GOP, saying the former president is done.

Trump is done, Coulter, a onetime Trump booster turned critic, wrote in an email to The New York Times. You guys should stop obsessing over him.

Coulters comments camein anarticle published in the Times on Sundayabout the mounting tensions between Trump and Florida Gov.Ron DeSantis(R) amid speculation of a potential showdown for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

While DeSantis has so far sought to tamp down rumors that hes angling for a possible White House bid, his rise within the GOP and growing national profile have irked Trump, who sees the Florida governor as owing his political success to him.

Trump has privately griped about DeSantiss refusal to publicly commit to foregoing a 2024 run if the former president chooses to mount another bid for the White House.

But Trump has also begun to sharpen his stance on DeSantis publicly. In an interview with a South Florida radio host last month, Trump appeared to issue a challenge to the Florida governor, saying that he would beat DeSantis in a 2024 primary if he decided to run.

If he wanted to run, thats OK with me, Trump said. I think wed win by a lot.

Trump also appeared to take a swipe at DeSantis during a recent interview with the conservative One America News Network in which he slammed politicians who wont say whether they received a COVID-19 booster shot as gutless. DeSantis has repeatedly dodged questions about his booster status.

Coulter pounced on Trump over those commentsin a tweetlast week calling the former president a liar and con man.

EXCLUSIVE: Trump is demanding to know Ron DeSantiss booster status, and I can now reveal it, Coulter wrote. He was a loyal booster when Trump ran in 2016, but then he learned our president was a liar and con man whose grift was permanent. I hope that clears things up.

Ann Coulter Blasts ‘Liar and Con Man’ Donald Trump Over Ron DeSantis Booster Criticism – Newsweek

Conservative pundit Ann Coulter has launched an attack on Donald Trump, calling the former president a "liar and con man" after he criticized politicians who refuse to say whether they've received a COVID-19 booster shotan apparent swipe at Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

Trump made the comments during an interview on the One America News Network, condemning "gutless" public figures who won't confirm or deny if they have had the third dose of the vaccine.

He said: "I've had the booster. Many politiciansI watched a couple of politicians be interviewed and one of the questions was, 'Did you get the booster?' because they had the vaccine, and they're answering like In other words, the answer is 'yes' but they don't want to say it because they're gutless."

Although Trump did not mention DeSantis by name, the remarks are thought to be in part directed at the governor, who has swerved questions about whether he has had a booster shot in recent weeks.

Coulter, who was once a staunch supporter of Trump but turned on him for his failure to act on his promise to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, mocked him for the booster remarks on Twitter on Wednesday.

"EXCLUSIVE: Trump is demanding to know Ron DeSantis's booster status, and I can now reveal it," Coulter tweeted.

"He was a loyal booster when Trump ran in 2016, but then he learned our president was a liar and con man whose grift was permanent. I hope that clears things up."

Coulter, who published the fawning book In Trump We Trust, E Pluribus Awesome! in 2016, has levelled a numbers of insults at the former president in more recent years.

During an interview on Andrew Sullivan's Dishcast podcast on November 5, 2020, she called Trump "abjectly stupid" and accused him of "directly betraying his base" for not building the wall despite this being his main campaign promise.

In May 2020, Coulter described him as disloyal.

Newsweek has contacted Trump's office for comment.

DeSantis is one of the high-profile GOP lawmakers who have repeatedly dodged questions about whether they have had the COVID-19 booster, even though his office previously confirmed that he had a single dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine last April.

"I've done whatever I did, the normal shot, and that at the end of the day is people's individual decisions about what they want to do," DeSantis told Fox News' Morning Futures in December when asked about the booster.

In a statement to NBC regarding Trump's remarks, DeSantis' spokeswoman, Christina Pushaw, said: "President Trump did not mention Governor DeSantis in that interview, so I wouldn't want to make assumptions."

Ann Coulter: The Great Epstein Cover-up, Part 2

Last week, we reviewed our ruling classs strange lack of interest in Jeffrey Epsteins child molestation ring, in which so many of them played a part. The media cover-up is second only to the government cover-up, with prosecutors delivering loss after loss in cases theyve been forced to bring (by the police and the public) against the accused child molester.

This week, well look at the governments long record of zealously trying NOT to unravel the case.

Barry Krischer was the first prosecutor to let Epstein off for child molestation. The local police presented then-Palm Beach state attorney Krischer withbales of evidence. They had affidavits from dozens of witnesses: girls abused by the pederast, the women who recruited them, the butler who cleaned upsex toysafter the massages, as well as records of Epsteins molestation appointments, one delayed because of a victims soccer practice.

Pretty much everything we know today about Epsteins sex ring was unearthed by the Palm Beach Police back in 2005 and handed to Krischer on a silver platter.

Five underage girls had given police sworn statements that Epstein had sexually abused them, backed by 17 other witnesses, but when Krischer brought the case to the grand jury, weirdly, he allowed only one of the girls to testify and thenattacked her on the stand! (Epsteins attorneys had helpfully provided Krischers office with the girls posts on MySpace, where she talked aboutboysanddrinking, the little harlot.)

According to anextensive reviewby the Palm Beach Post, most of Krischers 2,800-page investigative file on the case consists ofdirt against the teens and against the police given to him by Epsteins lawyers.(Thanks, Epstein attorneys! Do we owe you anything?)

The grand jurors, whod been meticulously kept in the dark by Krischer, ended up voting only for a single charge of solicitation of prostitution against Epstein in 2006. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years probation. No jail time, no record as a sex offender no criminal record whatsoever.

According to Nexis, only one newspaper, the Palm Beach Post, reported at the time or ever that Palm Beach prosecutor Krischer gave Epsteinprobationfor his years of child abuse.

Epsteins friends claimed he was the victim of a crusade by Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter, whom they called a born-again nutcase. Apparently, anyone who thinks prison is appropriate for the mastermind of a massive child sex ring has gotta be born-again. (How does he feel about teenaged girls talking about boys and drinking?) In fact, theres no evidence that Reiter is even a Christian other than the fact that hes never won an award from the ADL.

(In 2018, theAnti-Defamation Leaguegave a Jurisprudence Award to Barry Krischer!The award praised him for exemplifying the principles upon which the Anti-Defamation League was founded.Hey,Jonathan Greenblatt, was Harvey Weinstein out of town?)

At that point, the enraged Palm Beach chief of police took his evidence to a completely separate law enforcement agency the federal government, even though these were mostly state crimes. U.S. attorney Alex Acosta proceeded to make a deal with Epstein with Krischer essentially operating asEpsteins defense counsel resulting in a plea only slightly tougher than Krischers pat on the head.

According to journalist Vicky Ward, Acosta later defended this sweetheart deal to the Trump transition team, explaining: I was told Epstein belonged to intelligence and to leave it alone.

Most recently, the U.S. attorneys office for the Southern District of New York brought agentle prosecutionagainst Epsteins pimp and fellow child molester, Ghislaine Maxwell. Federal prosecutors called a mere four girls who claimed to have been recruited and/or abused by Maxwell. They could have put dozens of her victims on the stand.

Most notably, the Southern District did not call thestar witness, Virginia Giuffre, who has openly named therich and powerful menshe says these creeps forced her to have sex with, including Prince Andrew, former Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz, former New Mexico governor and presidential candidate Bill Richardson, former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, French model scout Jean-Luc Brunel, and the hedge fund billionaire Glenn Dubin, among others.

(Times of London, Jan. 9, 2022: Alan Dershowitz asked Donald Trump to grant Ghislaine Maxwell a preemptive pardon.)

Immediately after the Southern District accidentally won five guilty verdicts against Maxwell, the prosecutors quietly revealed that, weeks earlier, theyddismissed all charges against the prison guardswho failed to check on Epstein for more than eight hours the night he allegedly committed suicide despite an explicit directive that they check on him every 30 minutes.

Not to brag but

July 25, 2019, 1:05 a.m.: @AnnCoulterDear Bureau of Prisons: Please get Jeffrey Epstein to a super Max prison pronto, or the people who want him dead will make sure we never know the truth. ACT NOW!

Aug. 10, 2019: Epstein found dead in his cell.

The feds not only didnotmove Epstein to a super-maximum security prison as some observers recommended, but they alsodid this:

The day before Epstein died, he was taken off suicide watch.

Against orders, his cellmate transferred elsewhere, leaving Epstein completely alone in his cell.

All the cameras on Epsteins floor were mysteriously broken.

Even the footage of his earlier suicide attempt had been mistakenly erased and the backup footage destroyed as a result of technical errors, according to assistant U.S. attorneys Jason Swergold and Maurene Comey.

How many times can they use the were completely incompetent defense? (Hey, does anybody know if this case implicates rich people?)

Maxwells brother soonannounced to the press and to anyone else who might be interested! that his sister was no snitch. She wouldnt rat out any of Epsteins fellow child molesters in exchange for a lighter sentence.

Maxwell is facing up to 65 years in prison, and her brother has just admitted she can name names.Hello? SDNY? Any thoughts about applying some pressure?

Unfortunately, these are the same prosecutors who just did everything in their power to blow the case against her. My prediction of their next conversation with Maxwell:This is our last offer: 30 hours of community service and were not kidding! OK, 20 hours. Damn youre one tough negotiator.

Most strange, the ink wasnt dry on the guilty verdicts before one of the jurors ran to the press and announced that hedlied on his juror questionnaire. Although hed denied ever having been sexually molested, he had been! Not only that, but hoo boy did his experience with sex abuse sway the jurors during deliberations!

The defense immediately moved for a mistrial and the chatty juror moved to a villa in the south of France hes just inherited from an unknown relative. OK, the second part isnt true (that I know of), butare you kidding me??

Are prosecutors even investigating any contact between Maxwells representatives and the jurors? Will he be tried for perjury?

However this ends, once its over, well never hear about Epstein again unlike, say, January 6, which we will neverstophearing about. If America got to vote, which story do you think they would find more interesting?

Which story is more important? Doesnt the public have a right to know how big Epsteins sex/blackmail club was, who among Americas ruling elite were compromised, and to what end?
