The Curious Case of Jussie Smollett
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 29th. 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.

During 2017 confirmation hearings for the 7th Circuit for Judge Amy Barrett, Sen. Dianne Feinstein said, “The dogma lives loudly within you.” Specifically Feinstein was referring to the fact that Barrett was a practicing Catholic who follows the Church’s teachings on life and marriage. Feinstein was attempting to draw a line whereby particular individuals would be automatically disqualified from being judges if they believed in their religion’s teachings. In particular here, abortion on demand was the issue.
