Jussie Smollett

Former “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett was indicted today but I thought they dropped all charges a LONG time ago. I’m so confused. - Lisa

Me - The judge unilaterally reversed the agreement to drop charges and, fearing a DA's office that looked compromised, appointed a special prosecutor from outside the DA office. That's who filed charges now

I’m confused about the Bayshore Mall parking lot shooting. Was it a suicide or not? I swear I keep reading things saying both things. Anyone know? - Lisa

Yup

She's talking to you, fake anti-war Dems.

Hypocrites

THIS. 100% this. Have some integrity and acknowledge when your opinions are driven by partisan, not ethical reasons. Y'all didn't care when Obama was bombing and killing daily for 2 terms, but now a terrorist leader is eliminated by Trump and you're all Lennon & Ono? GTFO.  Hypocrites

.

Jussie Smollett was indicted today for his attempt to sow racial and political violence , which makes this a pretty darn good day.

Oh FFS

2018 just needs to stop 2018ing.

An *Entire* Police Force!!!

Heck No

If you find yourself at a point where you can't take care of your pet,  even at no fault of your own,  you find it a new home.  You don't take tax money intended to feed a child and waste it on a dog. Period. #HumansAreGettingDumber

Government Shutdown? Ok.

Other than the treatment of our troops, I care not about the shutdown. It's just another reminder that the federal government is a bloated, intrusive, mess.

Good on Poland

Along with Canada, Mexico, and Australia, Poland refused to vote against the US today at the UN. Kudos to my ancestral homeland. Given the scars forced on them by the German Holocaust, they should move their embassy to Jerusalem as well.

Jerusalem

I am not worried at all about the reaction of the Palestinians to the recognition of Jerusalem.  Islam, the media assures us,  is the Religion of Peace.  Certainly those who practice it will take this moment to exhibit that fact to the world.

Regarding John Hockenberry

NPR's John Hockenberry is accused of sexual harassment. Two issues: one, he's paralyzed from the waist down so there is no physical threat that can be associated with the charges. Not that that would excuse boorish behavior  Second, from the sample that was read on the radio, the accusation stems from benign emails he sent asking a woman out on a date. Unless there's more, how is this charge be taken seriously?

Stunning News from NBC

NBC has fired longtime Today show host Matt Lauer for inappropriate workplace behavior.  Wow.

Why Cokie?

Cokie Roberts, longtime ABC reporter, said it was well known among female reporters that it was dangerous for a woman to get in an elevator alone with some members of Congress (alluding to Conyers and Franken, if her comment related to the conversation.) Uh. . . You are REPORTERS. Why did you choose to suppress that story??

Yuck

 Nice of Hollywood to stop molesting and raping each other long enough to mock prayer and tell us how to vote in the wake of the Texas church shooting. #IAppreciateYourGuidance

If Words matter, then the should matter

You're not a terrorist unless your violence is committed to further a political aim. Quit trying to shift the definition for your own agenda. Post all the memes you want, until/unless it's shown the Vegas killer had a political goal, he's not a terrorist. He's just a murdering a$$hole.

What an Idiot

Dumbest FB comment of the day: a man received a final "I love you" text from his dying spouse, a victim of the Vegas shooting. A woman commented on the article that the wife was selfish and that she (the commenter) would expect her spouse to call, not text, such a sentiment. FU lady.
