Clown News Network: Don Lemonhead warned Smollett that cops didn't believe his MAGA attack story

Last week CNN, the Clown News Network, fired reputed journalist Chris Cuomo after it was revealed that he was scheming with his disgraced brother, ex-New York governor Andrew, to combat the latter's sexual harassment scandal. 

Oh, Chris has his own harassment scandal too.

Now Don Lemon is being accused of compromising, assuming he has any, his journalistic ethics.

From the Daily Mail:

Jussie Smollett told his hoax attack trial on Monday that CNN host Don Lemon warned him Chicago police did not believe he was the victim of a racist homophobic attack, in what is being seen as another example of the network's hosts using their clout and sources to help their friends. 

Lemon, who is also gay, is said to have warned Smollett back in 2019 that Chicago Police Detectives were dubious about his story that he'd been beaten in the middle of the night by two white men wearing MAGA hats. 

Smollett told his trial yesterday that Lemon warned him that Chicago PD detectives had told him they didn't believe the story. 

Lemon didn't mention it on his show last night during a minutes-long segment with reporter Omar Jiminez, who had been at the trial.

CNN isn't a news network--but a left-wing propaganda organ.

The Clown News Network is also the channel of Jeffrey "Handsy" Toobin.

Oh, I nearly forgot. Lemonhead has been accused of sexual harassment too!

Six killed, including one teen boy, and at least 24 wounded over weekend in Chicago

Another bloody weekend just concluded in Chicago. Over the first weekend in December six people were killed and at least 24 others were wounded.

Of the fatalities, one was a 15-year-old boy who was shot to death in the Loop Saturday night as a large group of youths gathered. Last night another big gathering of "Yoots" took place downtown. While there were no fatalities there was a non-fatal shooting--also a CTA bus driver was beaten. 

Back to the homicides: In what appears to be the first fatal shooting in the Northwest Side's Jefferson Park neighborhood this year, a woman shot to death in an alley early Sunday morning. Two others were wounded in that shooting. Three people were also shot, one fatally, around that same time on the Near West Side. 

The other weekend fatal shootings occurred on the South Side, including a Sunday homicide of a woman in South Shore, an 18-year-old man was killed Saturday night in Englewood, and the first weekend shooting occurred Friday night in neighboring West Englewood.

Another rotten jobs month: Just 210,000 new hires in November

The Joe Biden economy is flounderering

From Fox Business:

U.S. job growth significantly undershot expectations in November, suggesting that difficulty in attracting new workers is weighing on the labor market's recovery from the pandemic, even as COVID-19 cases dissipate nationwide. 

The Labor Department said in its monthly payroll report released Friday that payrolls in November rose by just 210,000, well below the 550,000 jobs forecast by Refinitiv economists. It marked the slowest job growth this year. The unemployment rate (which is calculated based on a separate survey) dropped more than expected to 4.2% from 4.6% — the lowest level since the pandemic began.

Chicago Burberry's hit by flash mob thieves

Burberry's after looting in 2020

Thieves in big cities don't fear getting caught. And if they are, in places like Cook County, Illinois there is a catch-and-release prosecutor named Kim Foxx.

From WGN-TV:

Shoplifters have once again stormed a high-end retailer located on the Magnificient Mile. This time it was the Burberry store in the 600 block of N. Michigan Avenue.

According to police, four men hit the store around 4:15 Monday afternoon, stealing expensive purses worth thousands of dollars.

Two people suffered minor injuries trying to stop the thieves. Downtown visitors told WGN News they feel authorities should give such thefts the highest priority.

"We all work hard. I mean, it's not fair that some people just decide upon themselves to get something for free. It's not right," one man said. "We all work hard and pay and they think they can do whatever they want."

According to CWB Chicago the thieves stole an estimated $67,000 worth of merchandise and then sped away in a stolen vehicle.

Chicago's North Michigan Avenue was struck with two rounds of mass looting in 2020. As you can see by my photograph Burberry's was among the stores hit.
