Thanks to Fabulous Smollett, Empire ended in 2020 with season six. His attempt to generate a bigger role by staging a racial hoax tanked the hip-hop drama. It was a great series that ended too early and quite frankly on a disappointing note. The COVID-19 pandemic forced the series to end two episodes early and writers settled with a dry run ending.
Smollett and Bryshere Y. Gray kind of fucked their careers up with their off screen antics.
Taraj P. Henson and Terrance Howard broke the world when they starred in the Lee Daniel series. It also led to an off screen relationship between two actors. They portrayed Loetha "Cookie" Lyon and Luscious Lyon.
Trai Byers who played Andre Lyon and his wife Grace Byers who played Anika "Boo Boo Kitty" Calhoun are expecting a child together.
Grace revealed Friday that she and her former costar, 39, are expecting their first child together.
The actress, who attended her husband's opening night for The Piano Lesson on Broadway, shared photos from the red carpet in which she can be seen holding her baby bump.
"Words absolutely fail when it comes to describing how deeply and overwhelmingly proud we are of you, @traibyers," Gealey captioned the post; Byers cradles her growing stomach in the second photo.
The couple did not reveal any other details about their pregnancy, including a due date nor the baby's sex.
Don't piss off a strong Black woman. She will clap back.
This is a thing that many white media agitators never figured out.
See they think they get their kicks off messing with former first lady Michelle Obama, Vice President Kamala Harris and Duchess Meghan of Sussex.
But fucking with Joy Reid, Sunny Hostin, Laura Coates, Whoopi Goldberg and Tiffany Cross and you'll gonna find out, they ain't taking shit from these white media agitators.
So the woman who said Jesus and Santa Claus is white called Tiffany Cross a dumbass racist when she did a segment on The Cross Connection about the NFL allowing Tua Tagovailoa to play despite the hard hit he had a previous game. A scary incident happened when the Miami Dolphins played the Cincinnati Bengals. Tua was hit very hard and ended up taking a serious blow which disfigured his hand. The doctors were sanctioned and the NFL mandated immediate protocols since.
Cross strongly believed that many of these white owners seek to profit off the entertainment of the players and not concerning themselves with the health and safety.
“To see all these black men crashing into each other with a bunch of white owners, white coaches, and the complete disregard for black bodies and black life,” said Cross.
She compared it to slavery and it riled up the far right. Media Research Center's Newsbusters pick up on it, and Outkick reports it. Enter the noise.
This thirsty raisin in the potato salad looking fool.
The white agitators make claims that the Black community should stop talking about racism and focus on Black on whatever crime, absent fathers, ending use of the safety net, having multiple children out of wedlock, stopping the abortion of Black babies and telling the Democratic Party you handing them your walking papers. All the noise in a pretend reality within the far right and Republican Party.
This woman was upset over the remarks. She went on her podcast and immediately took aim at Cross by saying that she is the most racist person on television.
“He’s not black. Hello? You dumbass, Tiffany Cross,” said the agitator.
Cross responded as promised. She immediately took aim at her by reminding her that she was fired from NBC, considered a has been because no network wants to hire her and she has no relevance whatsoever.
She also remind us that the threats to democracy are real. She took aim at Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas and his Karen wife. The justice had signaled that gay rights, affirmative action and contraception is going in the Court.
Cross made it clear, she will son this bitch if she speaks her name again.
"Oh, and wherever you all go, can you take this thirsty raisin in the potato salad with you? Because you all seem to be cut from the same cloth. Now, dumbass that!"
This agitator has been attacking women of color. She took aim at Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Naomi Osaka, Serena Williams, Duchess Meghan, Michelle Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Conservatives are easily manipulated by misinformation. That is a fact!
Representative Nancy Pelosi of California is a Democratic lawmaker and current Speaker of the House. She is the first woman to be House Speaker. She represents the 12th Congressional District which covers 80% of thr city and county of San Francisco.
She is a vocal supporter of human rights and civility. But to the noise, she is an enemy.
Pelosi is vilified relentlessly by the far-right and many Republican lawmakers. The Republicans continue to use her as a "boogeyman" in their attempt to win back Congress.
It's almost like they've forgotten about hte Jan. 6 attack and the direct threats upon her.
The mob sparked by Washed Up 45 stormed the U.S. Capitol and ransacked her office.
The Jan. 6 Committee had released footage of Pelosi, newly appointed majority leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Obstructionist Leader Karen McConnell (R-KY), QAnon Whip Karen Scalise (R-LA) and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) hunkered in a secure area.
The documentary filmed by Alexandria Pelosi shows her mom in a calm state checking on the lawmakers and calling the Virginia governor, Maryland governor and Washington, DC mayor to streamline National Guard assistance. She had pressured governors to have federal clearance waved to bypass the Department of Defense. She felt the President of the United States had no intent of trying to drive away his supporters from the Capitol.
It debunks the noise.
Many Republicans like Scalise, Rep. Karen Stefanik (R-NY), Rep. Pedo Jordan (R-OH) and Rep. Karen Banks (R-IN) spread the Softball Hannity lie that Pelosi delayed the National Guard because of politics.
Literally, the mob wanted to kill her and several named lawmakers. Not to mention Pence was also targeted for death.
She said on camera as the mob was approached that she wanted to punch Washed Up 45 in the face and go to jail. She said she would be happy doing so.
Cue the noise.
Nancy Pelosi is asking people not to share this video of her threatening President Trump on Jan 6th.
She said “I hope he comes, I’m going to punch him out ... I’m going to punch him out, I’m going to go to jail, and I’m going to be happy.” pic.twitter.com/ezbQd1lJTC
The Washington Post has uncovered more footage of House Republicans who questioned whether Speaker Nancy Pelosi delayed National Guard assistance during the Jan. 6 Capitol attack:
Jake Tapper: "Do you think that McCarthy, Scalise, and Stefanik will stand up for democracy and the U.S. Constitution or will they do what Mike Pence did this week -- bend to the will of a delusional man living in a fantasy world?" pic.twitter.com/kVdb48InTS
The far right ignores the very fact that Pelosi did call the National Guard to restore order to worry about the screen of her iPhone.
They were upset her daughter filmed the whole encounter.
They were mad that Pelosi handled it like a boss and actually checked on the Vice President.
Pelosi showed real concern for lawmakers who constantly use her as a scapegoat in attack ads and noise propaganda. Fox is notorious for scaremongering and
Gay agitator Terrence K. Williams ignores all the footage to do his rants mocking Pelosi for threatening the former president.
It is a sad state of affairs.
Pelosi literally saved the lives of these ungrateful lawmakers. She was calm under pressure. She stood up to the noise of the far right.
And yet, they still use her as an excuse to why their pathetic culture wars and distractions from the incompetence. Republicans have no actual plan if they retake Congress.
All they got is noise. Folks, we ain't got time for the noise.
Republicans will still vote for Herschel Walker despite the debate, his alleged abortions, his son throwing him under the bus, his three other children, his violent outbursts, his dismissal of reparations and his association with Washed Up 45.
Herschel Walker has made himself a meme. He now will go down in history as one of the most incompetent or most brilliant politicians in America.
He and Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) held their first debate and it was one for the record books.
You thought that Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) and Moron Vance was a carnival, get to know these two.
It's a damn shame that both are Black men and they are both pawns to political parties that have no use for them.
I have move Georgia from Lean Democrat to TOSS UP.
Okay, Warnock is the first African American to represent Georgia. He beat Karen Loeffler, a former owner of the WNBA team, the Atlanta Dream. Her racism and Washed Up 45 harping on him being robbed of the election depressed the turnout. Warnock and Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) managed to win their runoffs.
President Joe Biden managed to carry Georgia. It was a shock to the former president. Washed Up 45 made that infamous call to the Georgia Secretary of State demanding he find more votes to flip the state.
If he illegally flipped the state, it wouldn't stop the electoral college count. Biden still would have won.
Former football star and pastor square up.
But since he won Arizona, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Wisconsin and Michigan, the former president felt that he was robbed of the states he won in 2016. The state of Nevada went to Biden and Hillary Clinton.
Warnock has now have to defend his nearly two years in the Senate.
Walker, an election denier and staunch supporter of Washed Up 45 moved from Texas to run in Georgia. He won the primary and managed to be a force to be reckoned with. Mind you that he has a whole lot of baggage going on with him but guess what, he's still either down by three or tied with Warnock.
Walker like many Republicans want to tie their opponents to Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and President Joe Biden. They are pretty much played out with this noise. Besides, they are literally putting a target on Pelosi's back again.
It's almost like they didn't realize that mob destroyed Pelosi's office and literally stole, defalcated and literally bragged about doing it on social media.
The noise these Republicans make.
Of course, a pandemic affected the job market. Now that we're turning the page on COVID-19, we're slowly crawling out the hole. Republicans living in their revisionist history and misinformation.
The Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol has subpoenaed Washed Up 45 to testify under oath about the insurrection. He will likely take it to federal court or not show up at all.
At the close of the latest hearing, the committee voted and all agreed that the former president must be held accountable for the worst attack upon the U.S. government.
The vote marks the boldest step yet for the bipartisan panel, which has so far issued more than 100 subpoenas and interviewed more than 1,000 people over the course of its investigation.
Most of those witnesses have complied with the committee’s requests. But the former president is thought to be highly unlikely to willingly cooperate with the panel, which he repeatedly decried as a politically motivated witch hunt.
“It is our obligation to seek Donald Trump’s testimony,” committee Chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) said before the vote.
Vice Chair Rep. Karen Cheney (R-WY) who introduced the resolution for Thompson to issue the subpoena, said it is a “key task” of the committee to compel the testimony of “January 6th’s central player.”
She noted that, of the roughly 30 witnesses who have invoked the 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination during their testimony, several did so directly in response to questions about their dealings with Washed Up 45.
Those witnesses include Republican political operative Slimey Stone, former Washed Up 45 Justice Department official Karen Clark, former national security advisor Rusky Flynn and the pro-Washed Up 45 attorney Slimey Eastman, Cheney said.
She added that some key figures have defied subpoenas. They include Sloopy Steve, a former senior aide in Washed Up 45’s White House who was convicted of contempt of Congress for his refusal to testify.
Thompson clarified in his opening statement that Thursday’s presentation is technically not a hearing, but a “formal committee business meeting” so members can potentially hold a vote on further investigative action.
Just before the hearing adjourned, the nine-member panel voted unanimously to direct Thompson to issue the subpoena for the former president.
Washed Up 45 railed against the Jan. 6 probe in a flurry of angry statements and posts on his social media platform Truth Social later Thursday. “The committee is a total ‘BUST’ that has only served to further divide our Country,” one post read.
The committee’s ninth public hearing Thursday afternoon took a broad look at the findings from its investigation, interspersed with new clips and information.
The panel kept the spotlight on the former president as it played clips of his former staffers, who testified that they knew at the time that Washed Up 45 had lost the 2020 election to President Joe Biden.
The hearing also showed new clips of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and others calling multiple Washed Up 45 administration officials, including then-vice president Karen R. Pence, to urge them to take action to quell the riot as they hid from the mob that overran the Capitol.
The committee is tasked with probing the facts and causes of the Jan. 6, 2021, riot, when a violent mob of Washed Up 45’s supporters stormed the Capitol and forced lawmakers to flee their chambers for safety.
Washed Up 45, who never conceded the election to Biden, falsely claims that his victory was stolen through widespread voter fraud.
Well, the latest mass shooting in the United States. It happened in Raleigh.
The terrorist was caught but may have tried to take his life.
Of course, President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Roy Cooper, Sen. Karen Burr (R-NC), Sen. Karen Tillis (R-NC), and the North Carolina U.S. Representatives were informed about this. This is the 627th mass shooting in the country.
There were at least a handful of mass shootings before this.
New Bern, NC
Bristol, CT - Two police officers killed.
Philadelphia - Two police officers injured. Others included a mass shooting at a football scrimmage.
Some were domestic violence in which the shooter killed family members, law enforcement or themselves.
Too many to list.
Raleigh is the second largest city and state capital. It has a population of 521,000.
An active shooter doesn't care about the politics, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, your finances, your family, your plans that day, your successes, your failures, and most importantly, your life.
The shooter is motivated within seconds to take out as many people as he/she can.
What to do to protect your life.
1. Run - If you hear sounds like firecrackers, popping sounds or suspicious activities around a large gathering (i.e. malls, stores, clubs, public gatherings), if you can flee, run away from the shooter. Do not run in a straight path of the sight. Move around and zig-zag if possible to keep yourself out the line of fire. It's best to not film a shooter commiting the act. If you are willing to risk your life for a viral video, more power to you but its best to stay out of the line of fire by running away.
2. Hide - If you are involved in an active shooting, you must barricade yourself in a room and keep doors locked, lights off, phones on silent. Do not go into restrooms, lockers and kitchens. Those are most likely places where shooters often go. If you can barricade a room to prevent a shooter from getting in, it eliminate the opportunity for the shooter to get through. Make sure you keep your voice low when you're involved in mass shooting. Call 9-1-1 if you can.
3. Fight - If you are willing to risk your life or willing to film the incident, you have no choice but to fight. Make sure you grab something that is powerful enough to disarm a shooter. Do not confront a shooter in the midst of sight. Make yourself not visible if you're trying to fight. Do not think being a "good guy with a gun" is going to stop a bad guy. The cops don't see good guys trying to stop bad guys. They see active shooters and they will shoot anyone who is armed regardless of the matter. If you're ready to fight, be prepared to die. It's best to not be easily seen if you're trying to stop a shooter. If you're a conceal carry and attempt to disarm an active shooter, you are willing to sacrifice your life to save lives. You are willing to go hero, you could die a hero or an idiot.
Five people are dead, including an off-duty police officer, and at least two others are injured after a shooting on a nature trail in Raleigh, North Carolina, Thursday night, officials said.
The suspect, who police said is a white male juvenile, has been taken into custody. There is no active, ongoing threat, Raleigh Police Lt. Jason Borneo said, adding that a motive will be determined over the coming days.
An injured officer has been released from the hospital and a second person remains in critical condition, Borneo said. A K-9 officer who has non-life-threatening injuries is among those injured, Mayor Mary-Ann Baldwin said.
"When we lose one of our own, it is a tragic, heartbreaking day for all of us," Borneo said.
"We must stop this mindless violence in America and we must address gun violence," Baldwin said.
State police and feds search terrorist home.
At least three people were transported to WakeMed Health and Hospitals' trauma center in connection with the incident, a hospital official confirmed to ABC News. There is no word on their condition currently. The hospital official does not know if others were injured in the shooting.
The scene of the shooting was in the area of the Neuse River Greenway Trail near Osprey Cove and Bay Harbor drives, police said.
"Residents in that area are advised to remain in their homes," the Raleigh Police Department tweeted.
North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said he has instructed state law enforcement to "provide assistance responding to the active shooter in East Raleigh."
"State and local officers are on the ground and working to stop the shooter and keep people safe," he said on Twitter.
"Tonight terror has reached our doorstep. The nightmare of every community has come to Raleigh," Cooper said during a second press conference Thursday night. "This is a senseless, horrific and infuriating act of violence that has been committed."
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence, monkeypox and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.
I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth.
When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege. This good guy with a gun nonsense has to end. The cops didn't do nothing when children were shot inside a school. A security guard was shot dead trying to protect shoppers. A cop accidentally shot his own. The good guy who tried to stop a bad guy is outgunned and a part of the rule #3.
Remember #3 means: The "good guy with a gun" better be prepared to die if they want to stop a shooter.
I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you. We lost over 1 million people from the coronavirus.
I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult. I am also tired of scapegoating Black on Black crime, Chicago, Baltimore and Democratic mayors for the nation's obsession to be numb to gun violence. You pretty much enable this nonsense by deflecting. I am getting fucking tired of white nationalists and their enablers of color complaining about the lack of Black fathers. The fathers are either killed by gun violence, police violence, COVID-19, heart diseases, diabetes, freak accidents and just being Black in America.
President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However the two Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back.
The National Rifle Association is always pushing against it. They will not relinquish from the narrative that guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street. It makes no sense.

Cop shoots teen as he was eating and attempting to flee.
The idiot police chief Bill McManus. I remember him from his three years working as Dayton, Ohio's police chief. He was an idiot and incompetent police leader.
Eric Cantu is on life support and it does not look good. The 17-year old was sitting in his vehicle when this dirty cop shot him at point blank range. Now this dirty cop is being charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault.
This happened a week ago and it is getting national attention.
The former cop was in his probationary period when he was responding to a disturbance at a San Antonio McDonald's. He made a fucked up assumption that a vehicle sitting in the parking lot was stolen. He immediately opened the door and ordered Cantu to get out of the vehicle.
Cantu puts the vehicle in reserve and immediately this dirty cop fires into the vehicle striking the teen.
When Cantu was leaving the parking lot, the cop still fired upon him. Thanks to the body camera, the cop was immediately fired out of the cannon two days after the shooting.
“As the officer attempted to gather information from witnesses, he noticed a vehicle that had evaded him the day before as the officer attempted a stop because the registered license plate did not match the actual vehicle,” Capt. Alyssa Campos, the department’s training commander, said in a video statement.
The car, driven by Cantu, was not the subject of the disturbance call, Campos said.
Now Bexar County prosecutors are looking at the officer's training and how a bad cop managed to be on the force. We expect the police union to defend the cop. We expect many on the far right will say that Cantu should have complied, never should have fled and he looked suspicious anyway. Some may claim he is an illegal. It is going to be a word vomit of far right noise.
The suspect posted bail.
“The former officer’s actions are indefensible and do not align with our training, tactics and procedures,” Chief William McManus said. “As such, I terminated him. I will withhold further comment as this incident is still under investigation.”
McManus says the incident is "isolated."
"This was a failure for one individual police officer. It had nothing to do with our policies. Our policies do not allow that. Our training does not teach that," McManus told a news conference to announce the charges.
"There is no question in anybody's mind looking at that video that the shooting is not justified," McManus said.
The dirty cop posted a portion of his $2.5 million get out free card.
A passenger riding with Cantu was not injured. However, he is shaken by the incident.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence, monkeypox and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
Candace Owens, Ray J and Ye host an anti-Black Lives Matter documentary. They are also feuding with Kim Kardashian. Owens, a notorious far right grifter and agent provocateur premiered a documentary called "The Greatest Lie Ever Sold." It takes aim at Black Lives Matter former leader Patrice Cullers and denounces George Floyd, the Minneapolis man who died at the knee of a goddamn cop. The cop put his goddamn knee on Floyd's neck and allowed him to die in front of witnesses. One then 17-year old teen shared the horrific video and it went viral and sparked a global protest for police reform.
It fell on deaf ears with Washed Up 45. It was exploited by Owens who called Floyd a criminal who deserved his fate. It helped Joe Biden because he literally told the world that if elected, this incident of police abuse will end.
Biden won.
The former cop and his three allies were all arrested and later convicted. The former cop got nearly 30 years and his former allies await sentencing.
Washed Up 45 would lead an insurrection against the federal government. He denies his role in the riot. He claims that the Floyd protests were violent and thousands of cops died.
It is lie. Owens pusher this noise on her platforms.
Owens still maintained popularity as a Black extremist despite Washed Up 45 losing. Her competitors Terrence K. Williams, Diamond & Silk, David Clarke, Katrina Pierson and Paris Dennard faded into obscurity.
Ye and Ray J are supporters of Washed Up 45 and are products of the Kim Kardashian universe. Ray J is a singer, rapper, actor, media personality and equipment mogul.
Thanks to a sex tape, Ray J gained fame. He is a one hit wonder and is brother of R&B singer/rapper/actress Brandy and son of gospel legend Willie Norwood. He is cousin to media mogul Snoop Dogg, wrestler Sasha Banks and the late Nate Dogg.
Thanks to a sex tape along with her amd association with Paris Hilton and the late Robert Kardashian, OJ Simpson's lawyer, Kim K is a reality television mogul and billionaire.
Kim cursed Reggie Bush, Kris Humphries, Damon Thomas, Ye, Ray J, Pete Davidson, Van Jones and Miles Austin.
Ye became the third husband and father of his four children. Ye and Kim are divorced now and it became a subject of discussion after there were reports the media mogul threatened Davidson and Kim after they confirmed they were dating. Ye is the longest relationship Kim had.
Ye is a billionaire and controversial figure. He recently lost endorsements after making a series of anti-semitic rants.
Ye listening to his former stepfather-in-law, Caitlyn Jenner and became a supporter of Washed Up 45. Soon his erratic behavior became the new norm.
Ye and Kim's former boyfriend Ray J now embrace this cult of extremist rhetoric.
The U.S. House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol will likely cover interviews with the wife of Supreme Court Clarence Thomas, the U.S. Secret Service, media agitators who instigated the attack and Washed Up 45's lame attempts to overturn his loss to Joe Biden.
Rep. Karen Cheney (R-WY) was defeated in her primary. Rep. Karen Kinzinger (R-IL) retired from his seat. Democrats fear they may loose the House of Representatives.
So they will wrap up the loose ends and produce a final outcome to recommendations for the U.S. Justice Department to pursue criminal charges.
Conservatives are hoping to distract from the hearing to focus on President Joe Biden. As I am posting, the noise is complaining about "loving his son" for Pete's sake.
No live witnesses.
The president signed a gun reform bill, gas prices are dropping, inflation seems to be cooling off, a good jobs report and debt is down. Yet, we're talking about polls and who will run in 2024 as the Democratic nominee if Biden decides not to run.
All noise.
Distractions from real issues like the Supreme Court trying to rollback rights.
I think it could be over for the conspiracy theorist and his InfoWars network. He is literally going to find out that the truth is not a conspiracy and his words will have actions.
Ignore the noise.
VOTE.
Vote to save democracy.
Far right agitator and conspiracy theorist is pretty much fucked. He is held liable for the slanders, lies and misinformation about the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut.
Let's catch up!
On Dec. 14, 2012, shortly after President Barack Obama won his reelection, a mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. This white terrorist murdered 26 people. Six teachers and 20 students died when this asshole entered the school with a semi-automatic firearm. This was one of the worst mass shootings in country.
Almost as the shooting started picking up national coverage, that conspiracy theorist immediately denounced it as a "false flag" and "hoax." He claimed that the victims were "crisis actors."
Now on Wednesday he was ordered to pay nearly $1 billion to Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims’ relatives and an FBI agent, who said he turned their loss and trauma into years of torment by promoting the lie that the rampage was a hoax.
The $965 million verdict is the second big judgment against the Infowars host for spreading the myth that the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history never happened, and that the grieving families seen in news coverage were actors hired as part of a plot to take away people’s guns.
The verdict came in a defamation lawsuit filed by some of the families of 26 people who were killed in the 2012 shooting, plus an FBI agent who was among the first responders. A Texas jury in August awarded nearly $50 million to the parents of another slain child.
Robbie Parker, who lost his 6-year-old daughter, Emilie, said outside the Connecticut court that he was proud that “what we were able to accomplish was just to simply tell the truth.”
“And it shouldn’t be this hard, and it shouldn’t be this scary,” said Parker, who became an early target of conspiracy theorists after he spoke at a news conference the day after the shooting. The jury awarded him the most of any plaintiff: $120 million.
wasn’t at court but reacted on his Infowars show.
As courtroom video showed the jury awards being read out, the conspiracy theorist said that he himself had never mentioned the plaintiffs’ names.
“All made up. Hilarious,” he said. “So this is what a show trial looks like. I mean, this is the left completely out of control.”
His lawyer, Norm Pattis, portrayed the trial as unfair and pledged to appeal.
“Today is a very, very, very dark day for freedom of speech,” he said outside court.
The jury awarded various sums to the victims’ relatives, who testified that they were threatened and harassed for years by people who believed the lies told on his show. Strangers showed up at the families’ homes to record them. People hurled abusive comments on social media.
Mark Barden testified that conspiracy theorists urinated on the grave of his 7-year-old son, Daniel, and threatened to dig up the coffin; Barden and his wife were together awarded about $86 million. Now-retired FBI Agent William Aldenberg, awarded $90 million, described the horror he saw at the school as he responded alongside other law enforcement, and his outrage at seeing online claims that he was an actor.
Erica Lafferty, the daughter of slain Sandy Hook principal Dawn Hochsprung, testified that people mailed rape threats to her house.
“I wish that after today, I can just be a daughter grieving my mother and stop worrying about the conspiracy theorists,” Lafferty said outside court. But she predicted that the conspiracy theorist “hate, lies and conspiracy theories will follow both me and my family through the rest of our days.”
To plaintiff William Sherlach, the verdict “shows that the internet is not the wild, wild West, and that your actions have consequences.”
He had testified about seeing online posts that falsely posited that the shooting was a hoax; that his slain wife, school psychologist Mary Sherlach, never existed; that he was part of a financial cabal and somehow involved with the school shooter’s father; and more. He told jurors the shooting deniers’ vitriol made him worry for his family’s safety.
“Going forward — because, unfortunately, there will be other horrific events like this — people like Alex Jones will have to rethink what they say,” Sherlach said.
Testifying during the trial, the conspiracy theorist acknowledged he had been wrong about Sandy Hook. The shooting was real, he said. But in the courtroom and on his show, he was defiant.
He called the proceedings a “kangaroo court,” mocked the judge, called the plaintiffs’ lawyer an ambulance chaser and labeled the case an affront to free speech rights. He claimed it was a conspiracy by Democrats and the media to silence him and put him out of business.
“I’ve already said ‘I’m sorry’ hundreds of times, and I’m done saying I’m sorry,” he told jurors.
Twenty children and six adults died in the shooting on Dec. 14, 2012; relatives of five children and three educators sued in Connecticut. The trial was held at a courthouse in Waterbury, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) from Newtown, where the attack took place.
The lawsuit accused the conspiracy theorist and Infowars’ parent company, Free Speech Systems, of using the mass killing to build his audience and make millions of dollars. Experts testified that his audience swelled, as did his revenue from product sales, when he made Sandy Hook a topic on the show.
In both the Texas and Connecticut lawsuits, judges found the company liable for damages by default after the conspiracy theorist failed to cooperate with court rules on sharing evidence, including failing to turn over records that might have showed whether Infowars had profited from knowingly spreading misinformation about mass killings.
Because he was already found liable, the conspiracy theorist was barred from mentioning free speech rights and other topics during his testimony.
He now faces a third trial, in Texas, in a lawsuit filed by the parents of another child killed in the shooting.
It is unclear how much of the verdicts he can afford to pay. During the trial in Texas, he testified he couldn’t afford any judgment over $2 million, and his lawyers plan to appeal and try to reduce the damages there. Free Speech Systems has filed for bankruptcy protection.
But an economist testified in the Texas proceeding that the conspiracy theorist and his company were worth as much as $270 million.
A lawyer for the families in the Connecticut case, Josh Koskoff, said that “if this verdict shuts down Alex Jones, good.”
“He’s been walking in the shadow of death to try to profit on the backs of people who have just been devastated,” Koskoff said. “That is not a business model that should be sustainable in the United States.”
Washed up agitator poked the hornet's nest. She decided to call a prominent Black journalist and progressive agitator a racist because she dared to call out NFL owners for allowing players to literally kill themselves for sports and entertainment.
Don't worry, she will respond on The Cross Connection to the noise.
The woman who said Jesus and Santa Claus is white.
The woman who said that wearing blackface was not a big deal.
The woman who tried to bait D.L. Hughley into supporting racist cops.
The woman who called Naomi Osaka, a drama queen when she said that doing pressers triggered a nervous breakdown.
The woman who is willing to push Black on whatever crime while working on Fox.
The woman who host a conspiracy theorist who once claimed that Sandy Hook was a hoax and now is paying for it due to his noise causing harm to the victim's families.
NBC fired this trash and we thought she would never come back again.
Tiffany Cross is going to respond.
She slowly grew her serpent head by interviewing the Russian propagandist who accused Joe Biden of sexual assualt. She hosted one of the former Fox agitators who allegedly sexually harassed women. She was one of the reasons why the late bastard Roger Ailes and that sexual predator O'Reilly were fired from Fox.
Now on SiriusXM's newest far right platform Triumph, Karen Kelly decides to aim her snake venom into MSNBC weekend host Tiffany Cross.
Kelly lambasted Cross — calling her a “dumbass” and “the most racist person on television” — after she described the NFL’s handling of Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s concussion as an issue of race.
Kelly’s comments, on the Tuesday edition of SiriusXM’s The Megyn Kelly Show, came in response to Cross’s Saturday comments in which she called Tagovailoa’s continued participation in the game an example of the league’s disregard for the well-being of Black players.
“To see all these Black men crashing into each other with a bunch of White owners, White coaches, and the complete disregard for Black bodies and Black life,” said Cross. “I mean, it just represents a larger issue.”
The Dolphins player suffered from a serious fall during a game on September 25th but was later cleared to continue playing.
After numerous medical evaluations in the days following, Tagovailoa was cleared to play in a game on September 29th where he once again hit his head, this time resulting in a concussion.
On Tuesday, Kelly called Cross’s take “stunningly racist,” and noted that Tagovailoa is from Hawaii and of Samoan heritage.
“He’s not Black. Hello? You dumbass, Tiffany Cross,” Kelly said. “She’s the most racist person on television. It’s amazing. Maybe she just doesn’t see color. Anyway, he’s not Black, but according to her he is. Oh, and by the way, his coach isn’t White either.”
