Ex-Detroit Tiger Calls Wisconsin Shooter Kyle Rittenhouse a 'National Treasure'

August 27, 2020, 2:15 PM

One person's demon is another person's hero.

Aubrey Huff, who spent 13 years in the major leagues as an infielder and outfielder, and played for the Detroit Tigers in 2009, called Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, a "national treasure" in a tweet posted Wednesday night.

Rittenhouse faces murder charges in connection with the shooting death of two men in Kenosha, Wisc., during protests Tuesday. The protests were triggered by the police shooting Sunday night of Jacob Blake, who is now partially paralyzed.

Huff, 43, followed up with a series of tweets criticizing protesters, professional athletes supporting the protests, and referring to Blake as a criminal. The response on socially media was quite mixed.

LeBron James responded (tweet)

Huff wasn't the only one offering supportive words for the accused teen murderer.

Fox's Tucker Carlson said the teen’s actions were understandable.

“How shocked are we that 17-year-olds with rifles decided they had to maintain order when no one else would?”

I can just feel the chaos in their campaign each morning. They are scrambling each day and listening to conservative Twitter. Cracks me up.

Can't confirm this yet, though, as I think Oracle is still in play.

Wall Street rallies on new Fed stance, COVID-19 test progress

August 28, 2020 — 5.56am

The S&P 500 and the Dow advanced on Thursday (US time) as investors digested the US Federal Reserve's new strategy to adopt an average inflation target and restore the United States to full employment, as well as a promising development in the fight against COVID-19.

The Fed's new strategy sent Treasury yields higher, which gave a lift to interest rate-sensitive financials.

The sector provided the biggest boost to the S&P 500 and the Dow, helping to put the former on track for a new record closing high and edging the latter closer to reclaiming positive territory for the year so far.

The Dow remains more than 3 per cent below its record high reached in February.

"We're going to have low interest rates as far as we can see and COVID is on the way out because of the inexpensive test that Abbot is introducing soon," said Peter Tuz, president of Chase Investment Counsel in Charlottesville, Virginia. "It gives investors two reasons to be positive about equities."

Right? I don't have a side in this discussion yet, but I've got eyes on. I don't doubt what Binney has reported but there is always something slightly off with these high-level whistleblowers. I know "loose lips sink ships" and as long as it's not our ships going down, I'm okay with it. I'd appreciate being able to have declassified documents directly, as I'm sure we all would. Time will tell.
