Van Jones, You Are Missing the Point About Jussie Smollett I’m not supposed to say this. After all. I’m white. And male. And conservative.So, by default, I’m part of the problem. Guilty. Of something.Even though the Jussie Smollett story was a total hoax, we are to believe that it revealed the real problem in America. Angry white supremacists are destroying the country. Voting for Trump is akin to membership in the KKK. War has been declared against the African American community.Nothing can threaten that narrative.And so, even if the Smollett story is false, it’s actually still true.At least some pundits...

Charles Barkley roasted Jussie Smollett on Thursday night after more details of the racist attack he is accused of staging emerged, taking particular pleasure in mocking the actor for allegedly writing a personal, backdated check to the men he paid to beat him. Speaking during his half-time coverage of the Houston Rockets-Los Angeles Lakers game, Barkley had his co-commentators on TNT in stitches after bringing the controversial case up. They were discussing unlikely scenarios on the basketball court when Barkley steered the conversation towards Smollett mischievously.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) said Thursday that she couldn’t yet “make sense” of actor Jussie Smollett being arrested for filing a false police report about being attacked by Trump supporters in Chicago. “I don’t think we can, at this point, make sense of it,” Maxine Waters told Variety. “He’s a friend… and so, I believed him, when I heard about it.”“If in fact it’s a hoax, of course, I would be disappointed, but I’m just hopeful, that whatever goes on, and if he finds that he’s in trouble, that his life will be changed, then he has to re-do it...

In May 2018, Jussie Smollett appeared as the narrator and correspondent in an episode of the Epix documentary series “America Divided” that explored the subject of hate crimes, specifically lynching, in the state of Tennessee. Now that the “Empire” actor has been charged with filing a false police report and Chicago police are convinced he staged his own hate attack because he was “dissatisfied with his salary,” Smollett’s involvement in the show is cast in a different light. “When the news initially came out, we were horrified by the story and for myself, it’s hard to get away from the...

Senator Kamala Harris, one of many Democrats running for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, released a statement about the latest developments in the Jussie Smollett case. Her response is just about what is to be expected from the left, especially those running for president. That’s too bad because her statement falls short of being worthy of being taken seriously. This is the woman who was Attorney General of California and before that, District Attorney in San Francisco.Harris devotes a whopping one sentence to express her sadness, frustration, and disappointment in Smollett. Then she delivers a single sentence to say...

By Earick Ward As a long-suffering California Republican, I have engaged the radical left for the past couple decades and have found their modus operandi to be this; create a caricature of their opponents, and demand that said opponents defend said caricature.  Racist, misogynist, homophobe, xenophobe, ageist, on and on and on.  Who among us, over the past handful of years has not been tarnished by the broad brush of these ad hominem claims? You and I know they're nonsense, but it seemed the more we argued against the claims, the more the general populace seemed to accept them as truth.  If we ignored...

MSNBC finally got around to covering the scandal surrounding "Empire” star Jussie Smollett and allowed a guest to float a theory that Trump-supporting cops are lying about the case.

Al Sharpton, on the sidelines of a meeting with Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, said Thursday that “Empire” star Jussie Smollett should face "accountability to the maximum" if the actor indeed staged an attack last month initially described as a hate crime. “Whoever is wrong should pay the maximum.
