Monday marked the five-year anniversary of Joe Biden’s online condemnation of a “hate crime” that never happened. On Jan. 29, 2019, “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett, who is black and gay, made national headlines with claims a pair of white supremacist Trump supporters violently attacked him.

By December 2021, Smollett was convicted on five out of six charges over staging...

Well, it turns out...

Nothing damages real claims of racism more than fake claims of racism. How many of these fake hate crimes have there been now? It’s impossible to keep up.

And it’s looking like we’ve got another such case at A&M. It started...

So people that want to call it a garage pull and put out all the videos and photos of knots being as their evidence, go ahead,...
