[Babylon Bee] CHICAGO, IL‐The NAACP has given Jussie Smollett a prestigious award for his important work creating much-needed jobs for Nigerian-American citizens.
The Association created the new "Nigerian-American Job Creation" award just for Smollett in honor of his important work for the black community.
"While a lot of people talk about job creation, Smollett put his money where his mouth is," said an NAACP spokesperson as Smollett received the award. "He created two good, high-paying jobs well above minimum wage for these brothers. $3500 to pretend to be Trump supporters and fake an attack on a celebrity? Easy money."
"If all the wealthy and powerful were to help out like this, we can eliminated joblessness among black adults," he added.
Smollett humbly accepted the award, saying he was just "doing his part" to bring racial unity to the country.

When you hit the link, unsure if Babylon Bee shows up or not.
Maybe the Nigerian Playgirl Models have a compromising clientele.
IMHO the question was not if he would be let off, but how. Could be someone went over the heads of the local graft and procedure SOPs, undermining local authority pricing and stunting a few political careers. I'd be pissed if the neighbor came over and lectured me about me parenting wrong in front of my kids.
What I don't get is why the California syndicate is doing the high-five and nose rubbing thing instead of quietly shepherding their C-list agent into a hollywood hiatus. Arrogance? Our machine is bigger than your machine?

Can we find a scummier scum bag than John Brennan? Allahu Akbar, John, you microbe.

The solution to that is easy, when a CIA head retires, he'll be whisked away to a secure holding area in Yucca Mountain Nuclear repository. There he'll be given 10 boxes of National Geographics selected randomly from someone's basement, 10 years of life boat rations and access to water. He'll be perfectly safe, able to relax and read amongst the radioactive containers.
[Daily Caller] Far more than a failure of journalism, the Russia collusion narrative was, at its core, a monstrous failure of U.S. intelligence and counterintelligence. A monstrous failed disinformaton campaign, to be accurate.
All criticism of the news media aside for the moment, the bottom line is that professional journalists received fake intelligence information from U.S. government leakers whom they trusted.
The entire Russian collusion debacle shows that the American intelligence and counterintelligence processes have been subverted broken down.
Emphatic former CIA director John Brennan, a main engine behind spreading the Russia collusion story through the intelligence community and into the media, suddenly doesn’t sound so certain about himself. The day after Attorney General William Barr released the special prosecutor’s finding of no collusion, Brennan confessed to MSNBC, "I don’t know if I received bad information but I think I suspected that there was more than there actually was."
This is a shocking admission from the man who was, at the time, the nation’s highest-ranking professional intelligence officer.

...Just off the top of my head, the 'Intelligence Community' managed to miss:
*The Yom Kippur War
*The fall of the Shah
*The collapse of the Soviet Union
*The Iraqi attack on Kuwait
*The 9/11 attacks
I know the old saying that you never hear about the successes, just the failures - but I'll tell ya what; for me to have ANY more faith in the Community, I'm going to have to hear about some of those 'successes'.
If there are any.

"Bad info" is a cover story for a corrupt, militarized culture.

@ #2 -- I like to use the Berlin Wall as an example, either as a metaphor for the fall of the CCCP or simply on its own. I think cycle analysis is probably more accurate than what our intel apparatus can come up with. And remember, after 9/11, we added yet another monstrosity of an intel bureaucracy. Way to go, fellas!
[Jpost] Because of the approaching elections, most Israeli newspapers these days resemble election pamphlets, not always in the best of taste, more than they do channels of information ‐ with the result that they barely covered, for instance, this month’s important meeting in Moscow between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Vladimir Putin. As reported, the main topic on the agenda was Iran’s extensive activity in Syria. Given that Russia’s establishing itself in the region has become what looks like a permanent or at least long-term reality (where the czars and the Soviets failed, Putin succeeded), while America’s presence, like the face of the Cheshire cat in Alice in Wonderland, is gradually disappearing ‐ Moscow is now a central player in any scenario in this respect.
...Diplomatic history is sure to mark Netanyahu’s act of balancing Israel’s fundamental relations with America ‐ with its pragmatic coordination with Russia on Syria, without the latter being perceived by Washington as negatively affecting its global interests ‐ as major diplomatic achievements. And Israel is acting wisely in operating with full transparency toward the US in this and other respects, keeping in mind that the US is Israel’s long-term strategic and value-based ally, while Russia is an important and practical partner in dealing with certain particular issues. If it weren't for the coup attempt, I'm sure Trump's administration would be moving in similar ways: it's ridiculous for the relations between Russia & USA - who need each other as allies against China, to be influenced by EU/USA deep state psychopaths.
[The Federalist] "Unplanned" is the true story of Abby Johnson, formerly one of America’s youngest Planned Parenthood clinic directors. A vocal pro-choice advocate, she oversaw the abortion of around 22,000 babies in her time with the organization and was a rising star until she witnessed an ultrasound-guided abortion and everything changed.
"Unplanned" opens in theaters on March 29 and follows Johnson from her time in college, where she has two abortions and meets her first husband, through her time at Planned Parenthood, to her court fight with the abortion giant after her resignation. The film is based on her best-selling book and is distributed by the same company that released "God’s Not Dead" and "The Case for Christ."
RATINGS, THE MPAA, AND VIEWER DISCRETION
"Unplanned" received an R rating, causing quite a stir online. The distributor handling the movie is best known for movies that the whole family can see, so when a rating was released that will cut out large parts of families people were quick to worry that politics, not prudence, motivated it. Media bias against pro-life activists isn’t anything new, so it’s entirely fair for people to be concerned that "Unplanned" would be targeted.
Another pro-life movie was released last year and received a PG-13 rating from the MPAA. This movie was "Gosnell: the Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer." Subject to an incredible amount of media blackouts and censorship, it focused on the life and ill-deeds of an abortionist from Philadelphia. Having the two very different films to contrast, side by side, presents a very compelling picture of the abortion industry and the dangers women face in clinics.

I've always thought we should demand ultrasounds before an abortion, and if you can see the baby in the ultrasound you can actually make an educated decision.
[American Thinker] Leftists in southern California have their knickers in a knot after a recent Los Angeles Times opinion piece resurfaced of John Wayne’s Playboy interview of 1971. Most people only read the Times article about the interview, but I read the original, comprehensive interview. While Wayne had a dirty mouth, he was not the dumb cowboy depicted by his critics. He had many very thoughtful comments on America, but three or four comments got him in trouble -- 50 years later.
They were so bad, progressives want his name removed from the John Wayne Airport, the commercial airport serving Orange County, California. However, other progressives are tolerant of a black who said equally objectionable things who is to have an airport named for him.
Wayne stated, "I don't want somebody like Angela Davis inculcating an enemy doctrine in my kids' minds." The interviewer then declared that Davis claimed the reason that people wanted to revoke her teaching credentials was because she is black. I don’t suppose it could be her involvement with the Black Power Movement, her Communist Party membership, support for Fidel Castro, her support for the "Palestinians" and antagonism toward Israel, and her part in an aborted prison escape where four men were killed.
She was on the FBI Most Wanted List and spent 18 months in prison awaiting trial for her part in the attempted prison escape. She was tried and acquitted of all charges.
