The Curious Case of Jussie Smollett

sunbeam March 29, 2019 Comments Off

On January 29th , the news flashed across the country that Jussie Smollett had been the victim of an attack that was characterized as a lynching.

Supposedly “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett was attacked in the early morning hours on the 29^th. The two people who attacked him were “yelling out racial and homophobic slurs”. They also yelled, “this is MAGA country.” One of Smollett’s alleged attackers also put a rope around his neck.

The reaction around the country was predictable. To the elites on the left this was another example of the hate that PDJT was fostering around the country. Democratic candidates for President including Core Booker and Kamala Harris were quick to jump in and condemn the attack.

The problem? As the Chicago police did what police do, that is, investigate, they discovered that the whole thing was a hoax, a complete fraud. The investigation was thorough and dispassionate. Smollett orchestrated the whole thing. The police have a check for $3500 paying for the crime. They have the check number (#1603) from his bank account. He is caught. This is not a “who done it.” He did it.

Is San Antonio anti-Christian?

In another move demonstrating the anti-Christian bias that pervades the progressive left, the San Antonio City Council voted to ban Chick-fil-A from the San Antonio International Airport.

The Party’s Over

Now that the Mueller investigation is over, what can be expected next? The normal process does not allow for the release of investigative material unless there is an indictment. The privacy of innocent people who have never been charged with any crime must be protected.

The Democrats will mine whatever the DOJ releases for any crumb that they might use against the President. If the DOJ does not release all of the report, Rep. Adam Schiff and others will claim that high crimes and misdemeanors are being covered up even though he knows better. It will be all about trying to make some political hay out of the disaster that was the Mueller investigation.

Pelosi and Schumer will demand that all investigative materials be declassified and released. They will probably say that full transparency is needed to protect the integrity of the US intelligence community or some such crap like that. The complete investigative file would likely be millions of pages. There would also be wiretaps, emails, text messages, etc.

The Witch Hunt Ends

PDJT has been vindicated. The Mueller witch hunt has ended. SC Robert Mueller presented his report to the AG on Friday. This wrapped up a 22-month investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Special counsel Robert Mueller did not issue any additional indictments. Also, a senior Justice Department official told news outlets Friday there are no charges under seal.

During the 22-month probe, Mueller issued no indictments related to contacts with Russia. This dealt a devastating blow to the sensational prophesies of journalists, analysts and entire news networks. Some pundits were speculating just a couple of weeks ago that President Donald Trump and his inner circle were just days away from being carted off to prison for conspiring with Russia to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.

March Madness

March Madness has descended on the country. The biggest basketball event in the country started on Thursday. There is another kind of March Madness going on in the country and it is not a good one. That madness is the embracing of communistic socialism by various Democratic politicians.

Among the mob of Dems embracing this madness are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and Bernie Sanders. They are both keen supporters of communism. They hide behind labels like Democratic Socialist. But they are communists at heart. Bernie Sanders spent his honeymoon in Russia and has never held a private sector job.

For The People, Part 2

For The People. Another Orwellian title to a piece of Congressional legislation. HR 1, the Democrat’s landmark piece of legislation, is “for the people” like banning firearms reduces crime. 1984 is upon us. Night is day. Day is night. The more accurate title would be Against The People.

HR 1 is designed to trample all over the God-given rights of Americans. The left-wing ACLU found this particular piece of legislation a few steps too far even for them.

Despite the obvious unconstitutionality of the legislation, the Democrats passed it in the House. The Democrats do not care whether it is unconstitutional or not. To the Democrats the Constitution is merely a piece of paper that can be ignored when it suits them.

Right To Life

In this day and age there is clearly an increasingly callous disregard for life. This is evidenced over and over in mass shootings regardless of the reasons behind them. One such event happened in Christchurch, New Zealand recently. It is also evidenced in unrestricted abortion and in denying newborns life-saving medical care.

Climate Strike

The success of the left’s brainwashing machine was on display Friday. Tens of thousands of students around the world walked out of classes to protest climate change. They joined AOC in this country in predicting a future not worth living unless dramatic action is taken by governments world-wide to combat global warming. Of course, they call it climate change since the left cannot make up its mind whether man is cooling (1970’s) or warming (1990’s mantra) the globe.

Brussels, Belgium

Organized by leftist activists at numerous locations around the world, the demonstrations saw students walking out of classes, joined by adult climate activists. The students skipped school supposedly to educate adults on climate change issues. ...
