I've stayed away from the Chicago fakery until now. When the story first broke my sons and I instantly declared it fake, as did a black lady with whom I spoke over at the local car mechanic's shop. That lady and I were in the waiting room watching the TV go on and on about the attack. She finally could contain herself no longer and just started laughing, "That did not happen!" We were all struck by the fact that this supposed actor on a show I have never seen, was still wearing the noose when the cops came to see him some 45 minutes after the incident, and that the video from his building clearly showed him still holding his sandwich after the attack which he claimed to have resisted. From there, of course, the story got weirder and weirder, and then just fell apart. It reminded me of a Coen brothers movie.
That this supposed actor is a jack-ass, there is no doubt, but what does this fakery say about all the progs who went wild with joy seeing this "attack"?
The Dem presidential candidates, Hollywood, and the zillions of pundits and talking heads in America and around the world all came out in support of this supposed actor's account. They pontificated on and on about how this "attack" showed that racism is alive and well in America and rampant, I tell you, rampant, among Trump supporters. Those supporters are so fired up with racial hatred that they will walk around in the early morning hours of a horrendous polar vortex in frigid Chicago, wearing their red MAGA hats, carrying a noose, and just waiting on the off chance that a black celebrity will appear. If that ain't hate . . . . eh?
If the progs keep this up, Trump will be re-elected with a landslide.
MAGA
I have been saying for 18 months now that Trump will be reelected in a landslide. The Kavanaugh circus, Covington and now the Smullett hoax are all indicative of just how batsh*t crazy the left has become. And they show exactly zero signs of becoming less crazy; in fact I will predict even more of these shenanigans from them as we move into 2020 election season. Trumpslide 2020 is virtually assured, barring rampant election fraud which I also expect from the left.
ReplyDeleteI dunno... I suspect there are more of these nutso lefties than people think. The entirety of the left coast from Tijuana to Vancouver is just swamped with this stupidity,
ReplyDelete"America" may deserve Trump, but "Americans" may deserve the lefty tyrants.
I say this with disappointment, not pride.

One of the most frightening truths in this world is that people actually do get the kind of government they deserve.
Delete“We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion… Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." - John Adams
The attack would have been much less believable if there were fewer cons explicitly endorsing violence. Like any confidence man, Smollet read the room and played into what others have seen.
ReplyDeleteWhich cons would you say explicitly endorse violence the most,and when have they done so?
DeleteOne Brow, Are you at all capable of making sense?
DeleteMatthew, I have not tracked frequency, but I can offer examples. Trump himself in various ad-libs. The Proud Boys. Various white nationalist groups.
DeleteDiploMad,I can offer things that make sense, but I can't force others to read them and make sense of them.
..."I can't force others to read them and make sense of them."
DeleteWith the crap you slather on the platter Browless, not surprising the locals aren't going back for seconds... Moi? I like stirring in sh!t, makes my microbiome ready to rumble~~~
OW~~~
That's called "blame the victim", it only works in cases like this, when the perpetrator is a lefty, amiright?
DeleteI mean... the victim 'kinda had it coming', no?
Funny that I have *no* idea what happened because I don't follow news, but it's *extremely* clear to me what *has* happened, because the pattern is SO obvious.
"If they would just stop disagreeing with us, WE wouldn't be incited to violence." - The Entirety of Leftism Since at Least the 1800s.
It's the kind of stuff that gets us "depicting muhammed in a cartoon should be forbidden because it might anger ... umm.. 'some people' with poor impulse control." <-- get it? officially accepted liberal racism right there...
- reader #1482
reader #1482,
DeleteActually, a black man faked an attack by rightists. No actual violence committed in this case.
I agree completely with you about depicting Mohammed. You want to live in a western democracy, you just have to get used to some things. I'm sure you'll support artists who use Jesus in their imagery just as fervently.
Violence isn't needed to create a victim. I'll bet there are at least a few who got in trouble for 'questioning the story first'.
DeleteI don't support artists who use Jesus disrespectfully in their imagery, why would I? I don't support artists who do such things to anybody, religious figure or not.
*But* I'm not going to accept censoring them, either through the government or by fiat.
One Brow, you can blather on about what Trump said (out of context), but nearly all political violence comes from the left. Evidence at link.
Deletehttps://doctorweasel.wordpress.com/category/political-violence/
Doctor Weasel,
DeleteIt's easy enough to collect information on either side committing violence. It's even easier to skew it when you downplay an actual attempted bombing as making a threat on one side, why play up rhetoric as being a threat from the other side. Your lists are extensive, but unimpressive for that reason. I could quote the FBI statistics for you, but I would guess you are probably one of those people who think the FBI is a bastion of liberality.
However, since you claim I am taking Trump out of context, by all means, supply what you think is the appropriate context. How do you explain his remarks?
Dwan Seicheine,
DeleteI live in a reality where those who track things evenly and professionally (such as the FBI) have tracked that right-wing groups commit more violence than left-wing groups.
Between assignation and quantization, I highly doubt there's a valuable metric.
DeleteMeasuring things in science and engineering has paid off so handily on so many occasions, that it's a strong temptation to attempt to measure the unmeasurable. Unfortunately that is rife with human opinions and various other interactions.
Sometimes there is no reasonably analytic data, making such questions a matter of opinion.
I don't consider myself a conspiracy theorist, but I suppose nobody ever does.
- reader #1482
reader #1482,
DeleteI agree. Any attempt at measurement of something "violence" is going to reflect the bias of the measurer in some fashion.
I think it's useful to discuss individual incidents, and the various logics of generalization... and maybe on the very large scale like "where did socialism lead russia and china?" look at the violence engendered there...
DeleteThere are certainly places more and less qualitatively violent.. like the middle east, many parts of africa, mexico... and.. well.. american democrat-run cities (I know.. I know.. they were cities run into the ground by conservatives and lefties are just swooping in to rescue them, right? for fifty years or more.. I mean.. lots of historical damage!).. :) But other than very drastic differences, it doesn't make much sense to compare (Tokyo.. safe... Chicago... not safe... Palo Alto... safe... East Palo Alto.. not safe.. for example).
Not all the murderers America has *ever* had could possibly compare to the death toll attributable to Lenin's legacy. But here we have democrats embracing the new leninism.... the 'good' Communism ... before stalinism.. amiright? :)
My problem with lefties is they can't let anybody make up their own mind on anything. That's an assertion.
- reader #1482
sorry.. lefties certainly allow people to make up their own minds, so long as the decisions of those people ultimately are quick and in line with the left's opinions. :)
DeleteI have *never* pressured any lefty to embrace my opinions.. (they're ultimately responsible for their own opinions and decisions)... yet I swim in a sea of liberals daily making bold political statements "that are just inarguable, so we might as well just acknowledge that we all agree on them"
If someone is missing that experience, move to San Francisco for a bit. Bring your own kool-aid though, and make sure nobody can tell the difference.
- reader #1482
. they were cities run into the ground by conservatives and lefties are just swooping in to rescue them, right?
DeleteThey were cities abandoned by the wealthy when policies like integrated schools were enforced.
oh let's not be impatient...

FLASHBACK

Deja Vous,
Allover Again
“Oddsmakers are much smarter than TV chatter pundits, as it’s in their self-interest to be — unlike the TV and print pundits. Oddsmakers have to be right or they’re out of business,” he said.
Trump started out as a 100-to-1 shot days after referring to Mexicans as criminals and rapists on June 16,...
By the time he mocked John McCain’s POW status and heroism on July 18, he was down to 50 to 1.
Then, after insulting Megyn Kelly during the Aug. 6 GOP debate, he improved to 20 to 1.
By Dec. 7, when he called for a ban on Muslim immigration, the odds were 6 to 1 — and he’s currently at 2 to 1. . .
Now we know the rest of that old story
and still betting on you Chief, to MAGA!

He is not so much a jack-ass as a dumb-ass. Smollett demonstrates perfectly the bubble that the left lives inside. Even more so with the Hollywood crowd. There is a diplomatic language derogatory term that I use on many that I meet. I tell them they are Finlandized. Of course, they don’t understand the term. It’s primarily why I use it. They think Finland is cool. They hand out free baby boxes and is a socialist Nordic country, so they take it as a compliment.
ReplyDeleteWhen leftist meet it’s like when two vegans meet try and out vegan each other with foods they eschew. Much the same happens in the leftist circles. They feel the need to out virtue signal one another. The prima facia evidence for this fact, is demonstrated in Smollett’s T.V. interview. He is decked out with “Flair badges” like a cross between a North Korean General and a T.G.I Friday’s waiter. Those badges are not for us to see, they are for his peers to see. Each one a little virtue signal.
Smollett will likely only see fines, and a scolding for the whole fiasco. Politics will interfere in his favor. However, he does have a much more dangerous problem to his continued freedom hanging over his head. He sent himself a fake threat through the mail. Half of the people in Federal prison are there for mail fraud. I expect he is going to get a couple of years for that.
Funny that he wasn't immediately fired by proxy when his story fell apart and he was charged. Almost as if he's getting a pass for being a 'protected' individual.
ReplyDeleteIf, say, Roseanne Barr had done this, she would have lost her show or something...
Also, to begin with, anyone who's ever lived in Chicago knows that you do NOT go out walking at 2 am in January. Unless you are already on your way to the hypothermia ward.

This is what happens when an actor thinks he can write and direct.
ReplyDeleteHa! Very funny!
DeleteTo me, the funniest part of the whole farce was finding out that Smollett performed the entire hoax so that a local security camera, which he helpfully pointed out to the detectives investigating, would capture the entire performance.
DeleteThen he was horrified to find out that in spite of all his rehearsal and planning- including paying the "attackers" for their work with a check!- the performance was for naught, because the camera was pointed in the wrong direction!
I'm almost sad; it would've been great to see his little show captured for eternity, and it'd have a long, long run on YouTube!
There was a single-frame cartoon in an old "Omni" magazine showing a couple of dogs in a TV studio, contemplating bowls of dog food.
DeleteOne is saying to the other:
"Ultimately, of course, I'd like to direct".
That is a line worth slipping into conversations among the "beautiful people", when they get all "If I ruled the world". Always delivered with a rising inflection at the end.
True...but it turns out that Jussie can do his own stunts...especially his signature move, the flaming face-plant.

As a texter to a talk show here in Boston said: “The Smollett hoax just proves that the demand for racism has obviously outstripped the supply.”
ReplyDeleteAs it has done almost everywhere in America except for Leftist rallies, Antifa operations, and among Democrats in Congress.

DeleteI'm just not 'with it', I guess.
FROM further up the thread said Doc W said: . . . "...nearly all political violence comes from the left. Evidence at link." https://doctorweasel.wordpress.com/category/political-violence/
DeleteThanks for collecting, formatting, editing, and posting your hard work Doc! Maybe the Historians will make some sense out of why Americans put up with some much BS from the Socialista Democrat Thugs? OW~~~
Btw, I did a stint as a ER crisis counselor, apparently the 'Meth users get a bigger rush outta packing it in their arse, at least until they blow-up their pump. . .
The suicide types that bothered me most tho, were the teen girls who in their emotional pain over a boyfriend break-up swallowed bottles of beer and 'not Aspirin', ie advil/Tylenol? said a treating ER/MD to me, "yeah we saved her for now, not sure how much of her liver will survive though?"
Human behavior run amuck! What's the old saw about babies and drunks?
OW~~~
The natural alliance between Hollywood, where reality is recast to fit the script, and the left, where reality must be recast to fit their wishful script, was on display for all to see in Chicago.
ReplyDeleteAside from the fact that the central notions of socialism fail every single time they are put to the (reality) test, I don't know why leftists continue to believe that they can (or should) change the basic nature of mankind, other than to "prove" that their socialist utopia is possible if we can just remake ourselves to fit that vision.
I think the less imaginative of these types, like Smollett or Sharpton, for example, are the ones that end up convincing themselves that they only need to convince the rest of us that their opponents are horrible, if only imaginary monsters, for resisting their brilliance.

With reference to your question tho:
