Jussie Smollett, an actor probably already past his money making shelf life decided last month to try to leverage his salary and stardom by elevating his victim status. Already seeing himself as less than worthy compared to his costars, he decided that a good beat down at the hands of some white Trump-loving supremacists might be the ticket.
So as the story has thus far evolved, Jussie was on his way home from a Subway in Chicago. It was after 2 in the morning. He was on foot. Two men, at least one of them masked attacked him calling him an “Empire faggot nigger” and commenced a beat down. (By the way, I use the “n-word” in its context here. The same as many blacks use it in regular conversation.) The men tied a rope around his neck and poured a chemical compound on him (now believed to be bleach). One of them was wearing a MAGA hat, and they proclaimed this (the part of Chicago this happened, one presumes) to be MAGA country.
And there you have it. A black man, openly gay is set upon by two Trump-loving, presumably white guys, who did a make-shift lynching and chemical burning while also using racist and homophobic language. It is the perfect fodder for the media cycle.
I waited a long time before speaking out on this. I had my suspicions, but I let the story unwind and as it turns out, unravel before I pour my own acid on it.
Where to start? First, someone decides to go to Subway at 2am. You had nothing in the frig or pantry to eat? Don’t you have a car? Why are you on foot, in Chicago, at 2am. If you don’t have a car, do you not have an assistant at your beck and call to drive you about, tossing rose pedals on your intended path? No? How about Uber or Lyft? Or a cab? What about Grubhub? They deliver. Uber has a food delivery as well. But no, we’re on foot.
It was bitter cold that night. I read somewhere it was 12 degrees. Add in the wind chill factor and we’re zooming in on zero degrees. This is Chicago County in Illinois. This was and still is Hillary-land. She won the vote over Trump 7 to 1. Yes, Trump got roughly 12% of the vote. Now, let’s examine some math here. What are the odds that this happened the way ole’ Jussie swears by? Mathematically? 1 in 2. It either happened, or it didn’t. Statistically? We’re into winning the lottery land. What are the odds that:
1: They knew who he was in that they used the name of his TV show.
2: They knew he was gay.
3: Two Trump followers found him at exactly the right time.
4: They were carrying rope.
5: They were carrying bleach.
6: At least one was wearing a MAGA hat.
7: No camera caught them coming, beating him up, or going.
Similar statistics show that a specific plane on a given flight will go once in 5,371,369 flights. So, fly the same plane on the same flight, every single day, and it will crash once in 14,716 years. I don’t even know Biblical figures that ever lived that long. Maybe these were some of the things that may the Chicago Police go “Hmmmm.” But Jussie, his lawyers, and the leftist media want you to look only at the mathematical possibilities, and then discount the negative. Because, Trump.
As the case started to implode, his lawyers came to his immediate defense. They called doubters liars.
The statement from Smollett’s lawyers, issued late Saturday evening, said, “As a victim of a hate crime who has cooperated with the police investigation, Jussie Smollett is angered and devastated by recent reports that the perpetrators are individuals he is familiar with. He has now been further victimized by claims attributed to these alleged perpetrators that Jussie played a role in his own attack. Nothing is further from the truth and anyone claiming otherwise is lying.”

How shitty of a lawyer do you have to be to wittingly or not go along with this, and then attack those who do not?
Today, he was charged with a felony count of disorderly conduct for falsifying a police report. His lawyers plan an aggressive defense. Most of the media have gone silent, deleted their previous tweets about this being a modern day lynching, and some, surprisingly the Tawana Brawley co-conspiraotr Al Sharpton, even stated that if true he needs to punished to the fullest extent of the law. Welcome to the historical right side of this case, Al.
Not to be outdone, MSNBC had on Zach Stafford, the editor-in-chief of LGBTQ magazine (I’m sure the subscription rate is astronomical) who opined the conspiracy that the attack really happened and that it is the Trump-loving Chicago Police who are framing Jussie for this crime. Yes, the police can erase critical video footage (probably also stored on the cloud), coerce false testimony from two people seen on video, as well as create false banking records showing payment and receipt of monies for the gig. The host, Kasie Hunt, allowed this insane theory to go unchallenged.

This is yet another reason why the masses absolutely distrust the mainstream media. Laura Logan was right partially. The media doesn’t lean left. It doesn’t even tilt left. They are in the bag for the left. Bias is the main ingredient baked into the cake. The left, the media, and leftist politicians will say ANYTHING, cover up ANYTHING, do ANYTHING to resist, obstruct, or impeach the President. And sadly, most of those voting D, both know it and are complicit by allowing it.
