Trump is accused of sexual assaulted but the accuser is a little iffy. The democratic presidential candidates are going way left in preparation for the debates. And the Chicago Police department is really laying in to Jussie Smollett.
And I’m not even going to bring up the immigration crisis. Lots of stuff going on.
Another Trump Accusation
E.Jean Carroll is an advice columnist and author. She is also the latest woman to claim to have been sexually assaulted by President Trump in the mid-90s. Now, here’s what’s funny: this was a big deal on Friday. This gal went to several news outlets telling her story.
I am very skeptical about this whole story. Here’s the CNN interview with Carroll. It is graphic but I think you’ll see where I’m coming from one you listen to this woman.
I don’t know what’s worse: This woman’s really strange story, her woke-ness or the interview with CNN’s anchor Alisyn Camerota. Camerota never pushed back, never questioned why she didn’t go to the police, never asked her why she doesn’t go to the police now (we’ll get into that later) and called Trump a rapist without any proof being offered up. She didn’t even ask for proof. Awesome journalisming!
Like I said before, I do not put a lot of stock in this woman or her story. Matt Walsh from the Daily Wire (subscribe) had a great article about why this gal has no credibility. I’ll talk about his talking points and then throw in a couple of other things.
First, the description of the scene is completely implausible. They’re in a department store and go into a dressing room. But no one sees anything. Cameras do not catch anything. It’s a sexual assault. There’s noise and struggling but no one heard or saw anything before, during and after? Also, why would she go into a dressing room with a man she didn’t know? The story makes no sense.
Next, she never reported it to police and doesn’t want an investigation opened. In New York, there is no statute of limitations for rape and she says she still has the dress she was wearing that day (weird). There could be DNA evidence. But she doesn’t want the police to open an investigation. What’s her reasoning? Well, she gave an answer: “I would find it disrespectful to the women who are down on the border who are being raped around the clock down there without any protection. The women have very little protection there. It would just be disrespectful.” Yeah, OK.
So why even bring this up? To sell books. That’s the only reason to bring up after twenty years and still not want an investigation being done. She needs to generate some excitement for her book. Give people a reason to want to read it. Because she’s trashing Trump and making her rounds though the left wing media outlets, she’s sure to see a few copies. Very few looking at CNN’s ratings.
But I also have a theory. Listen to this short clip of her on Anderson Cooper’s show on CNN and you might get where I’m going with this:
Hello? She’s nuts! I’m not talking about her being slightly loopy, I mean sitting-in-a-bathtub-filled-with-jello crazy. She doesn’t want the police to investigate because of the border crisis? She thinks rape is kind of sexy? I might read her book because God only knows what she is going to say.
Well, the media tried to get this brush fire started but it turned out to be raining out. I know the media needs a new narrative but this story died fast. It was released on Friday and, by Monday, it was dead.
The Must Be A Debate Coming
The first democratic debates are Wednesday and Thursday and that means that the candidates have been going crazy to get attention. And it’s all so delicious.
Bernie Sanders says that he wants the government to tax Wall Street with a transaction tax. Then, take the $2.2 trillion and pay off all the student debt. Of course he’s forgetting about people currently in college so the number is closer to $4 trillion. While he’s at it, he should pay off my car loan and mortgage.
Reparations for blacks because of slavery is so last week. Elizabeth Warren says we should pay reparations to gay people. No kidding. She says that since gay people were not allowed to be married they should be able to get tax breaks from years before for having a partner. Yeah, that has about as much chance of working than slavery reparations.
When asked if he would meet with the anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan, Cory “Spartacus” Booker said he wouldn’t mind meeting with him to hear what Farrakhan had to say. Mind you, this is after he lambasted Joe Biden for saying that he used to have to negotiate with segregationists back in the 1970’s to get things done. I guess being anti-Semitic is not the same as being a racist.
Pete Buttigieg isn’t saying much of anything but he is sure to get torn up in the debates. He had to go back to South Bend, Indiana, where he is mayor, because of an officer involved shooting of a black man. He had a town hall event to try to calm the racial tension. It didn’t go well for him:
He looked weak and uncertain. Not a good look for a man who wants to hold the most powerful position in the world. He asked the government to do a special investigation of the police and the shooting. So not only did he piss off the black people but now he pissed off law enforcement and those who support him. This guy can’t even run South Bend, how in the heck is he going to run the country.
The debates are going to be an absolute riot! I think we’re just seeing the tip of crazy. Can’t wait to see what is going to be promised.
Speaking of Crazy
Jussie Smollett really ticked off the Chicago Police Department.
This week, along with all of the other evidence against him, they released the body cam video from the officers who first met Smollett after his “attack”. You remember the attack? The one where he paid two of his buddies to rough him up, put a noose around his head while yelling “this is MAGA country” while wearing red hats. Take a look at the video.
I thought him getting attacked at 2:30 in the morning while getting a Subway sandwich by two white guys who loved Trump in Chicago was dumb enough. There are no Trump supporters in Chicago. But this video is so ridiculous I had to show it off.
