Yep. An interesting, though largely ignored aspect of the Smollett business, is that Jussy Smollett comes from a black radical family. His mother was quite active in the Black Power movement of her era and she was, in fact, good friends with Angela Davis. Davis even spent a Mother’s Day with Mom and Jussy.

Angela Davis was a top-tier sixties/seventies radical up there with Bill Ayers. Among other radical actions, she helped smuggle in weapons to a Marin courthouse to free the three black Soledad Brothers. Four people were killed, including the judge, and two wounded. Nonetheless, Davis managed to skate, the Rolling Stones wrote a lovely, syncopated blues ballad for her (“Sweet Black Angel”), and she is now a Professor Emeritus from UC Santa Cruz. Not too shabby!

The line from the Chicago Police, liberals and even conservatives is Jussy did it for his career and the money — how selfish, how sad!

I suppose that may have been part of his motivation — Davis’s radicalism turned out to be a great career move — but I don’t believe that’s the explanation. I think Jussy is a sincere radical following in his mother’s and Angela’s footsteps. Push the radical agenda “by any means necessary.” He was willing to take his chances to do that duty, which must have looked far less risky than an armed attempt to spring comrades from a courthouse.

Furthermore, I suspect he was also trying to help Kamala Harris and Cory Booker pass their “Anti-Lynching” bill in the House, after it passed the Senate.

Note the lynching motif in Smollett’s attack and in the hate letter he received. My favorite absurdity in the attack story is that Jussy’s “noose” was tied in a Windsor knot, as opposed to a real noose knot.

The real take-away is Mick and Keef don’t get enough credit for their political ballads….

I hasten to aver that I didn’t come to that conclusion, I read about it somewhere at the time.

Fair to say they’re not fans of Harry, Meghan or Piers.

Perhaps FOX will hire him, he’d fit right in with Chris Wallace.

As the OOOOLLLD saying goes:
“That dog don’t hunt.”

I always thought it was an amazing coincidence Kamala and Cory Booker were pushing an “anti lynching” bill just as a son of political activist Janet Smollett was nearly “lynched” on the streets of Chicago’s racist, Gold Coast. You are the only other person I’ve seen make the connection. Hard to believe Kamala and Cory weren’t in on the plot.

Our hard boiled Journalists somehow did not pick up the trail’s scent.

Excellent policy right there!

This intrigued me:
“One detail I found of particular interest was Oprah Winfrey having attended the “royal wedding” (Megan’s) while only having met one another on one brief occasion prior.”

When Jussie Smollett was “attacked by Maga supporters” during a fierce winter storm in south Chicago, I recall that Kamala Harris pretty much had a new civil rights bill ready to go which would add new penalties to actions Dems don’t like.
The farce fell apart swiftly though, so they didn’t get a chance to ram it forward against uncertain RINOs. There may be a LOT of plans hatched by the other side of which we are not aware
