The trial for Jussie Smollett began Monday, November 29th, 2021. While many reading this article may not know who he is, the name might sound familiar. Jussie Smollett was a gay black man on a Fox television show called Empire. His sister, Jurnee Smollett, is a popular performer and has been in television since she was a small child, such as sassy Denise Frazer on Full House, and Hanging With Mr. Cooper. Why does that matter? Well, according to the prosecution against Jussie Smollett, the entire point of him filing false claims of bigotry and racism was for the publicity.…

Yesterday, November 29th, 2021, marked the beginning of opening arguments in one of the highest profile criminal cases brought to trial in Manhattan, New York. Despite the seriousness of the federal charges being pressed against Ghislaine Maxwell, there are many who don’t even know who the woman is or what she’s being charged with. Of course, the press knows who she is, politicians and Hollywood elites know who she is, but most of your everyday men and women in the country are a little lost. I personally asked eleven different people who Ghislaine Maxwell was or if they knew about…
Enes Kanter plays basketball in America for the Boston Celtics currently. As a lover of sports, the recent bouts of activism have been super obnoxious and none more so than in basketball. Mostly because we don’t get to hear much about conservative b-ballers or even players who love and respect America. (You know, the country that pays them to play a game). One player has begun to make some major headlines and it has nothing to do with his sport. Like Lebron James recent behavior off the court, it’s all about his tweets, his op-eds, and most importantly his politics.…
It’s officially Christmas Season. For me and my family it was the moment Halloween ended with a brief break for Thanksgiving, but for the rest of the civilized world, Black Friday is the beginning of Christmas music, hot chocolate, Christmas trees, lights of gold, red, and green. And, of course, there are the movies with the same basic storyline about a rich workaholic falling in love with someone who reminds them not to be so busy with work but remade about six different ways from Hallmark. This is a yearly ritual. I don’t mean that they repeat the same six…
Just today, November 24th, 2021 twelve jurors in Georgia found Gregory and Travis McMichael and Roddie Bryan guilty of the various nine total charges each for the event that ended in the death of Ahmaud Arbery. “Jurors found Travis McMichael guilty of malice murder, four counts of felony murder, two counts of aggravated assault, false imprisonment and criminal attempt to commit a felony. “The jury also found Greg McMichael guilty of four counts of felony murder, two counts of aggravated assault, false imprisonment and criminal attempt to commit a felony. Jurors found him not guilty on charges of malice murder. “Finally, the…
**Graphic Images Warning** From the very beginning the tragedy that occurred in Waukesha, Wisconsin has been rife with questions. Number one, of course, is why did 39-year-old Darrell Brooks kill and maim those innocent people with his vehicle? What sort of excuse could the BLM activist possibly have for injuring and killing so many people who were trying to celebrate Christmas? On November 21st, 2021, the city of Waukesha, Wisconsin held a Christmas parade in which hundreds of people gathered to watch or participate. And then a red SUV flies down the route and plows into the masses, killing five…
Jimmy Hoffa, born James Riddle Hoffa in 1913, was once the most famous man in the country. He started off as a Teamster who had some business dealings with several organized crime leaders back in the 1930’s. Eventually he was arrested and imprisoned for a number of crimes including jury tampering, attempted bribery and fraud. This didn’t change his status as something of a hero for helping to unionize the bulk of the working class at that time. Hoffa’s prison sentence of 13 years began in 1967 and had he stayed in prison, he might still be alive today. However,…
Just today, on November 19th, 2021 Kyle Rittenhouse was found not guilty on all five charges that state brought against him. His reaction was immediate and silent as he held back tears. At one point, his knees appear to buckle beneath him as what can only be described as a tremendous weight has been lifted off the 18 year old’s shoulders. Count 1: First Degree Reckless Homicide – Not Guilty Count 2: First Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety – Not Guilty Count 3: First Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety – Not Guilty Count 4: First Degree Intentional Homicide – Not Guilty Count…
Let it be known that if you are planning to make some wild accusations and create a career off of conspiracy theories, you’d better be able to back it up. If not, you might find yourself forced to pay out. Connecticut Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis ruled on Monday, November 15th, 2021 that Alex Jones was “liable for defamation” and that he knowingly spread “the false conspiracy theory that the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre was a “hoax”.” Ruling in favor of 8 different families that were suing Jones, Judge Bellis “found that Jones lost the case because” he didn’t…
While the actual jury is still out as of the end of day yesterday, November 16th, 2021, the mainstream media’s verdict has been in since the very beginning. MSNBC, CNN, The Washington Post, The New York Times and just about every other leftist commentator out there decided that not only was Kyle Rittenhouse guilty of murder, they’ve labeled him a mass shooter, a domestic terrorist, and even a white supremacist. Even though nobody can truly know the full weight of the burden that Rittenhouse is currently carrying at the moment, one other can at least understand that bile and hatred…
Just this morning, November 16th, 2021, NPR put out a tweet of their article that seemed to imply Boston, Massachusetts is racist for picking an Asian woman as Mayor over three other black candidates. Even the headlines seems to lament the historic first, “Why Boston Will Need To Wait Longer For It’s 1st Elected Black Mayor”. This, despite the fact that Michelle Wu is the first woman and first Asian to be elected as Mayor. Take a look below and see if you agree. https://twitter.com/opdroid1234/status/1460678948896006153?s=20 There have been hundreds of tweets in response with far more commenting than liking/loving that…
Red Notice is a Netflix original starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot. The movie is an action adventure with large mix of humor that makes fun of itself in the best of ways. There are moments where you feel like you are visiting the sets of Jumanji, one of the many Marvel films, Wonder Woman, an Ocean’s 11 movie, or even Indiana Jones. Though that may be the point. https://youtu.be/T6l3mM7AWew The good news is that the movie isn’t straight up awful. Whether poking fun of some classics or dropping their own new one-liners, the film is…
Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there for Aaron Rodgers. In a statement made on November 8th, 2021, State Farm made the following statement about the Green Bay Packers quarterback. “Aaron Rodgers has been a great ambassador for our company for much of the past decade. We don’t support some of the statements that he has made, but we respect his right to have his own personal point of view. We recognize our customers, employees, agents and brand ambassadors come from all walks of life, with differing viewpoints on many issues. Our mission at State Farm is to support…
Aaron Rodgers, starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday, November 5th, 2021. This was reported by ESPN, as well as several other news agencies. Now, keep in mind that people test positive for COVID-19 every single day, especially vaccinated players that don’t get dragged out by the media for catching the virus. So why does the media care so much? Because back in August right before the season, Aaron Rodgers claimed to be “immunized” against the vaccine, but because the journalists only hear what they want to hear, they took that to mean the…
On November 5th, 2021, during a late evening vote, the house passed a $1,200,000,000,000 Bipartisan Infrastructure bill. It could have been written as $1.2 trillion dollars, but those zeroes need to be seen. What else needs to be seen? That 13 House Republicans who helped the Democrats get the bill passed, which is why they are calling it a “bipartisan” bill. The split? 228-206. Had those thirteen Republicans voted no, the bill would have failed. So, who are the Republicans who helped the desperate Democrats to get Biden a much needed win? “Rep. John Katko, Rep. Tom Reed, Rep. Nicole…
On November 2nd, 2021 the Atlanta Braves stepped up in a big, bold way to take on and put an end to the hopes of winning the Series for the Houston Astros! During Game 6 the Atlanta Braves won the best out of seven World Series in fantastic form resulted in their second championship win since they moved from Milwaukee! The Houston Astros only won two of the games during the series and were shut in two of the six games played. Even while losing the Atlanta Braves managed to score at least 2 runs in every game. The first…
In a state where Biden wonder the presidential vote by 16 points, the Democrats were certain they would win the gubernatorial vote of 2021 by a landslide. They may not have been as worried about the state’s Attorney General race, or even the vote for the Lieutenant Governor, but even so, Republicans took the win for those positions as well on November 3rd, 2021. Republican Glenn Youngkin defeated Democrat Terry McAuliffe on November 3rd. Republican Winsome Sears became the first black woman to be elected Virginia’s Lt. Governor and Republican Jason Miyares defeated Democrat and incumbent State Attorney General Mark…
On Sunday, October 31st, 2021, President Joe Biden was asked a question so uncomfortable, so confounding, that he turned away and scratched his head! Who asked the question? It was posed by Fox News White House Correspondent, Peter Doocy. What was the question? “Mr. President, is it true we’re going to give $450,000 to border crossers who are separated?” According to Fox News, Doocy caught Biden on an escalator just after the president finished a Press Conference to end the two day G20 summit meetings. While he had him, the reporter figured it would be a good time to ask…
While we all know that sports brings in big money, gives society a release, and brings communities together it’s also time we acknowledge something else about sports. It’s brings out the petty in people! There was a sign during the opening game of the world series in which a fan of the Astros calls out the Braves, saying “the ‘chop’ is racist”, referring to the Tomahawk Chop. https://twitter.com/KShermanSports/status/1453217278414163976?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1453217278414163976%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fsports%2Fastros-braves-world-series-chop-racist Below is a video or two of what the chop looks like for those of you who haven’t seen it before. https://twitter.com/cesaring10/status/1452433727330660355?s=20 https://twitter.com/griffingulledge/status/1452097808551579650?s=20 Twitter filled with SJWs lighting up the trending section…
A lot has been happening in the sports world that many do not know about. These events may be unknown because of a general dislike of sporting events in general, or it could be the myriad of ways in which politics have taken over the sporting headlines. After all, when sports news has to be a twenty-four hour cycle, journalists are forced to branch out in whatever way they can to make a splash. So as a quick recap, for those of you who don’t follow sporting events, there’s been a lot going on. People have been chanting “F*** Joe…
On Wednesday October 20th, it was reported that the FBI had found skeletal remains about a 40 minute walk from the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park. Along with the remains that had been decaying for weeks were items and clothing consistent with what Brian Laundrie was said to have had on him at the time of his disappearance. In the above report they stated that, “the remains, found early Wednesday with a backpack and a notebook belonging to Laundrie, consisted primarily of bones after weeks of decay and exposure to wildlife.” Water had apparently prevented the FBI from finding what was…
https://youtu.be/i1UEj_6T1RE It is difficult to sum up a comedy routine like Dave Chappelle’s sixth and “final” Netflix special The Closer. Please note that as a conservative white woman, most of his jokes just aren’t as funny to me. I wouldn’t call them offensive because comedy, if done correctly, will always be offensive to someone. Humans can’t help it. We personalize things too much and we become defensive of those things, but if we’re honest we can still find humor in those taboo subjects. We are told comedy is one of the last bastions of free speech and yet day by…
Yesterday, October 13th, 2021, Joe Rogan had on his podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience” the chief medical correspondent for CNN, neurosurgeon Dr. Sanjay Gupta. Most of Rogan’s conversations last well over two hours depending on the schedule of his guest, but some have gone over three and this was the case with Dr. Sanjay Gupta as the podcast went to three hours, eight minutes, and some seconds. The beginning of the podcast starts out friendly enough with Joe Rogan calmly and politely talking with the doctor about some of the clean up that took place in Austin, Texas in regards…
On October 13th, 2021 at approximately 09:49 AM CST, William Shatner who is 90 years old, was launched into space. This launch made him the oldest man to go where so few have gone before. Shatner, along with three others were in a capsule that was piloted entirely from the ground with those on board just along for the ride. It was reported that the capsule “eventually reached a top altitude of 351,185, a little more than 66.5 miles off the surface of the Earth. On descent, the craft created a loud sonic boom.” The capsule returned to Earth and…
Streaming service Neflix has long been producing comedy specials for a myriad of comedians. Most of them are left-leaning and almost all have been positive and friendly toward the LGBT+ groups and allies. However, Dave Chappelle, who is in no way right-leaning or conservative, has found himself in the middle of some controversy as GLAAD and a few other groups are now trying to have him and his latest special cancelled. Jaclyn Moore (who is a transgendered) has called on Netflix to pull the program and accuses Netflix of “promoting dangerous rhetoric” on his special “The Closer.” https://youtu.be/i1UEj_6T1RE The irony…
Just the other day a group of specialists who investigate cold cases made the claim that they have confirmed the identity of the notorious Zodiac Killer. For those of you who don’t know who the Zodiac Killer is, he was a particularly gruesome killer that sent taunting and unsolvable puzzles and ciphers to cops and journalists from 1968-1969. Five murders in San Francisco were linked and believed to be the work of the Zodiac Killer. Fox News states that “The Case Breakers” which is comprised of “a team of more than 40 former law enforcement investigators, journalists and military intelligence…
One of the reviews for this weekend is Netflix’s “Original” series Masters of the Universe: Revelation. The original television series was called He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. I’ll give you three guesses as to why He-Man is no longer included in the name, but you’ll probably only need one because it’s the year 2021 and little boys aren’t allowed to look up to strong men; only strong women… Now, before we begin, let me make one thing clear because I have heard the rumors and I know you have, too. There is, at this time, no evidence whatsoever that…
Back in the nineties there was a brief fear and fascination with the idea of our planet being struck by a comet or asteroid. Perhaps a group of writers in Hollywood recalled their own classes in elementary where teachers discussed what brought about the end of the Dinosaurs. Either way, we got two movies out of it (Deep Impact and Armageddon) along with the terrifying realization that something from outer space could collide with our planet and that would be the end. “It’s what we call a global killer” says Billy Bob Thornton’s character Dan Truman, in the 1998 Blockbuster,…
Venom: Let There Be Carnage PG-13 https://youtu.be/-ezfi6FQ8Ds Once more Venom returns, but this time with Andy Serkis at the helm directing the Lethal Protector’s sequel. Don’t get me wrong, the first movie was fantastic, especially for an “origin” movie that wasn’t allowed to mention or even implicate the existence of Spider-Man or any other Marvel movies. But when Venom (2018) was slow (my only issue with the film), it was slow. Let There Be Carnage immediately addresses the titled villain of the show who had been teased during the end credits of Venom, Cletus Kasady (Woody Harrelson). Like most movies…
Every week I’m going to see a newly released movie or TV series as well as an older movie or tv series and give you a basic review! These reviews will be 100% honest. If I liked a film, you’ll know it. I won’t tear it down just to be insulting like many “critics”. But I won’t prop it up if it’s terrible either. I’ll do my best not to spoil anything that you can’t figure out from the trailers, and if something must be spoiled I promise to alert you to that fact in the boldest manner possible. Something…
