One half of the “Just-Us” brothers and race hustler.

Good riddance!

The Original Shakedown Artist. He will be lionized over and over ad nauseam “Civil rights icon” But the reality is he was one of the most racist divisive figures in American history, aliienating so many.

Mama said “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything.”

I will poach some words from Bette Davis.

“One should never say bad things about the dead, only good. Jesse Jackson is dead. Good.”

He’s G-d’s problem now.

Need a fresh story to distract from the waste, fraud, abuse and bad government. The Epstein files, and the missing old commie lady in AZ is getting kinda stale.

Jessie was a great player. I think he made the hall of fame.
