Jussie Smollett admitted to hooking up at a gay bathhouse with one of the two Nigerian brothers whom he allegedly hired to beat him up as the fired Empire actor took the stand Monday in a last-ditch effort to sway the Chicago jury in his trial for lying to police about being the victim of a hate crime. Smollett testified that he and Abimbola Osundairo had been to gay bathhouses together where they had done drugs and 'masturbated together' in a private room.(Snip)Osundairo admitted that he had gone to the bathhouse with Smollett when he was cross-examined last week on the stand by the defense lawyers

Jussie, it's really very unwise for a defendant to take the stand. And you're proving why. Kyle Rittenhouse made it look easy, but then again, his persecutors were the dumbest lawyers on the planet. I'd say be sure not to drop the soap when you're in prison, but well.....

In my best Bill Murray voice, "It is to laugh". This idiot's best defence is to tell the court that he's done more depraved actions and not gotten caught. "Your honor, the mere fact that I loped the mule with that witness in a bath house and enjoyed DNA sharing does not mean I wanted him to testify falsely about what happened to me at two a.m. while I was holding my foot long (not that I'm bragging). I was out walking Michigan Avenue in 20 degree weather looking for some special sauce.

OK, this all makes sense now. Since Jussie is a self-proclaimed sodomite, this type of lifestyle is not unexpected or "shocking". It's what far too many of them do. However, now they can claim that Abimbola is a "jilted lover" (who he has a history with) who is lying to try to "frame" Jussie with his "lies". The ultimate act of desperation, but it's all they have!!!

No doubt that there is an alternate universe hanging over America that has infected less than 10% of the population that is being pandered to 24/7 by the leftist and socialist Democrats and has been blown out of all proportion by the liberal media. This incident and it’s participants are just a small example of that. Who cares what those people do to themselves or others in those so-called bathhouses and how is all that relevant to this trial?

All that this stupid testimony establishes is that he was attacked by two men that he knew, beforehand. The entire story about being attacked by white Trump supporters yelling racist and anti-gay epithets is ridiculous. Both attackers were black. Not only were they black, but Nigerians, most likely with recognizable accents. Smollett knew them both, and had been communicating with them before and after the fake ''attack''.

Another moderate Senate Democrat plans to back a Republican-led effort to overturn President Biden’s national vaccine mandate for private businesses in a direct rebuke of the White House. Sen. Jon Tester, Montana Democrat, announced Tuesday that while he supported everyone getting “vaccinated as soon as possible,” the private sector mandate was a step too far. “Over the past few months, I’ve repeatedly heard concerns from Montana’s small business and community leaders about the negative effect the private business vaccine mandate will have on their bottom lines and our state’s economy,” Mr. Tester said. “That’s why I intend to join a bipartisan majority of my colleagues in defending Montana jobs

The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine could be significantly less effective against the newly discovered Omicron variant that it was against previous strains of the virus. Researchers at the African Health Research Institute (AHRI) found that there are forty times less antibodies in Pfizer vaccine recipients that can fight Omicron than there are for other variants. The pre-print study, made available Tuesday pending peer-review, implies that the vaccine could be less effective against the strain detected last month in South Africa. Conclusions from it cannot yet be drawn, though, and researchers are not yet sure how much more likely the Omicron variant is to cause infection

They were all present at the Dec. 1 celebration that had 173 attendees, according to the Andalusian regional government. The source of the outbreak was still under investigation and authorities said a large meal for hospital staff could also be to blame. The cases are all considered mild. All the staffers who tested positive had either received their third booster vaccines or antigen tests before the party.

A modern-day slavery ring has been busted in Georgia where workers were raped, kidnapped and imprisoned in squalid camps, according to prosecutors. The crooks raked in more than $200 million by luring in over 100 desperate migrants from Mexico and Central America to the US, a federal indictment says. At least two people died in the brutal conditions that saw workers forced to handpick onions at gunpoint for just 20 cents per bucket in sweltering heat, and another was repeatedly kidnapped and raped. They were kept in squalid camps surrounded by electric fences or cramped living quarters, including dirty trailers with raw sewage leaks.

With a massive build of Russian troops near Ukraine’s border, Russia’s Vladimir Putin is indicating a willingness to risk a military conflict, but analysts say while the threat is serious, an invasion is not certain. The threat of an invasion will be the central subject of President Biden’s video call with Putin on Tuesday. Biden is expected to warn of dire consequences should Russia follow through with a military offensive, while Putin is expected to reiterate his ultimatum that NATO should not allow Ukraine to join its military alliance. The outcome of the video call could have major implications as Putin weighs the potential costs of a full-fledged invasion of Ukraine.

Don’t take it from me that getting boosted is a good idea. Take it from the GOP’s new political hero.

Homeless and people with low incomes will soon be housed next to the iconic and expensive Venice Beach neighborhood after the Los Angeles City Council approved last week a 136-unit apartment building. The project, which will be built on city property that is now a parking lot, will cover 2.7 acres and the Venice Dell Community project will cost $75 million. This is a development that is also taking place in other U.S. cities led by leftists who believe forcing diversity of income and race into prosperous and safe neighborhoods is required to achieve “equity.” Half of the units will house homeless people,

'If he wanted to run, that's OK with me. I think we'd win by a lot.' Former President Donald Trump continues to say Gov.

Saule Omarova, President Biden’s nominee to oversee large national banks, withdrew from consideration on Tuesday, amid opposition from Republicans and moderate Democrats who had sought to block her nomination, the White House said. “I have accepted Saule Omarova’s request to withdraw her name from nomination,” President Biden said Tuesday, saying he would look for a new nominee. Mr. Biden last month nominated Ms. Omarova, a Cornell University law professor, to be Comptroller of the Currency, which supervises many of the biggest U.S. lenders including JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Wells Fargo & Co.

The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95 percent level of confidence.

As a broadcast journalist, my goal was always to get my accurate story on the air first. Beating the other networks by even just a minute was a major victory when covering breaking news. It drove ratings and ratings are everything. So, let me give you an advantage in your political discussion group. Here is the headline for January 1, 2022: The old CNN is dead! (snip) It took time, but when CNN’s number of viewers dropped below the number of people listening to taxicab dispatchers in Hoboken, CNN’s owners knew it was time to cut their losses. They were lucky to unload that turkey around Thanksgiving.
