Empire’s ‘Jussie Smollett’ Indicted Again in Chicago…

Black History Month is not starting off too fabulous for Jussie Smollett. The former ‘Empire’ cast member who made a wonderful name for himself on the show as the gay son of ‘Lucious’ played by Terrence Howard has made headlines once again for his now famous ‘Subway’ run. Jussie made major headlines last year for a alleged robbery he reported to police in which he was attacked by two ‘racists’ white men who poured bleach on him, and tied a noose around his neck on his way home from Subway in nearly freezing weather of Chicago.

Special prosecutor Dan Webb indicted the actor on 6 charges of disorderly conduct, the Cook County Clerk’s Office confirmed Tuesday. Smollett took things to a whole different level when he said that 2 Trump supporters ambushed him while he was on his way home that night in January 2019. He also said the men yelled racist slurs at him, and got a response from the president himself for such accusations. He was originally charged with 16 counts of felony disorderly conduct for lying to the police about the attack.

The prosecutors say Smollett orchestrated the attack with the help of two brothers whom he paid for their services. Abel and Abimbola Osundairo later fled to their home in Nigeria. They were arrested by federal agents once they returned to Chicago. It was confirmed that all charges were dropped against Smollett in February 2019 in exchange for community service and forfeiture of his $10,000 bond payment. Unfortunately a police union accused the Cook County prosecutor’s office of misconduct and the indictment has been finalized with 6 counts of disorderly conduct.

Dan Webb was appointed as special prosecutor to review State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s actions in the case. Fox’s hit show ‘Empire’ dropped him from the cast last year amid the media frenzy regarding the whole situation. His family stood by him through the entire time and maintained his innocence. Some have speculated the budding actor staged the incident to get a bigger paycheck for his role on the show and gain more popularity.

Everyone is on the edge of their seats with the nearing of the upcoming 2020 Presidential Election. The fight to put a end to the reign of Donald Trump is in full force, and with more Democrats running than ever, the possibility for the Dems to take over the White House is high in numbers. Both Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders are looking very good at the polls. On Tuesday Joe Biden said whoever he picks he would prefer it would be someone who was of color and a different gender.

“Whomever I pick, preferably it will be someone who was of color and/or a different gender, but I’m not making that commitment until I know that the person I’m dealing with I can completely and thoroughly trust as authentic and on the same page [as me],” Biden said while speaking to a round table of black journalists.

Joe Biden who did a wonderful job as Vice President along side Barack Obama, has always been welcome to the cook out. His impact as Vice President during the Obama administration included overseeing the infrastructure spending aimed at counteracting the Great Recession. His credible negotiating skills helped the Obama administration pass legislation such as the Tax Relief and Unemployment Insurance Re-authorization. Here is a small synopsis of what Joe’s vision is if he is elected President.

“ We’re in a battle for the soul of America. It’s time to remember who we are. We’re Americans: tough, resilient, but always full of hope. It’s time to treat each other with dignity. Build a middle class that works for everybody. Fight back against the incredible abuses of power we’re seeing. It’s time to dig deep and remember that our best days still lie ahead”.

Silence Kodak Black…

Kodak Black the infamous rapper known for his disrespectful comments in the past towards Lauren London and rapper Ti, managed to ruffle some feathers from behind the bars of a jail cell. Kodak Black has a thick skull, and even after being reprimanded by elders in the business, he refuses to understand his tongue can be extremely reckless and without a doubt not even called for. The troubled musician who must be in a serious time of distress released a freestyle track for his even more troubled fans to hold them over while he does his bid. The music was sounding somewhat OK, until he took jabs at “City Girl’s” band mate “Young Miami’.

“And I bought Yung Miami a ring, she wanted 808’s baby/When I see her I’mma hit that bitch in her stomach/The way I keep this shit too real fuckin’ up my money…”

Being as though everyone knows how extremely ignorant Kodak Black can be, some people were less surprised by his raunchy lyrics. Young Miami, who is a total sweetheart and friend of the blog, is enjoying her pregnancy while holding down the ‘City Girls’ until her partner in crime ‘Jt’ finishes her own bid collectively.

Miami’s boyfriend, who has his girls back 100% responded to Kodak on social media telling him to “Suck a d*&#’. There’s nothing further to say at this point, except are we going to keep allowing this troll to make derogatory comments to innocent bystanders in his view, or are we going to completely ban together and put an end to bullying in the industry. What are your thoughts luv-bugs?

Everyone no matter color, religion, sex or creed, is blind if they can’t see what has happened in the past 4 years since Donald Trump has taken office. The creator behind the ‘MAGA’ movement has created such a racially divided country that it even trickled down to a Disney cartoon character. ‘We are hopes greatest hero and fear’s greatest foe’, our former President Barack Obama said once before. We have everything being debated on now from women’s rights, to the situation at the border with misplaced children from their families, to the tax cuts that benefit the rich and do nothing for the hard working middle class citizens. Each candidate will have to fight hard to prove their selves this time around because the American people, especially the minority is tired and frustrated with being tired and frustrated.

On stage tonight: Cory Booker, Julián Castro, Kirsten Gillibrand, Michael Bennet, Andrew Yang, Bill de Blasio, Tulsi Gabbard, Jay Inslee, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris

We decide if we want to make a brighter tomorrow with what we have today. Now is the time to learn about our running presidential candidates and see who you think personally can turn the country around and make it a place of positivity, love, and freedom for all. The debate is starting now and will run on for an hour or so. Watch now on CNN as commentators Racheal Maddow, Chuck Todd, and Don Lemon deliver the questions you need to hear answers from regarding our leading running candidates.
