What this story taught me is that Jessie Smollette is a scammer who’s willing to throw victims of legitimate hate crimes under the bus in hopes of getting a pay hike. However, his self-serving publicity stunt doesn’t take away from the fact that black and queer people are still the main targets of hate crimes in this…

I have never listened to a pod cast. Most people think that is weird, but i prefer to listen to music.
Practically every goddamn tweet in the post above is tantamount to shouting “fire” in a crowded movie theater.
Melania and I were treated very nicely yesterday in Pittsburgh. The Office of the President was shown great respect on a very sad & solemn day. We were treated so warmly. Small protest was not seen by us, staged far away. The Fake News stories were just the opposite-Disgraceful!
