Eagles Cancel Events for DC Kids, The Reason Why Is Infuriating
Not cool. Not cool at all.
When it comes to disagreements with your fellow man, there’s often a right way and a wrong way to handle things. For example, punching your neighbor’s lights out for failing to come to your block party is not the right way to handle the situation.
Instead, a calm, polite discussion geared toward getting to the root of the lack of attendance and assuring that you yourself did nothing to contribute to the matter is a sure fire way to solve the problem and preserve the friendship.
Another glaring example of how not to handle conflict is what the Philadelphia Eagles decided to do after being disinvited to the White House by President Trump.

They decided to cancel events they were to hold for DC area children. Not cool.
The NFLPA announced via Twitter that they were canceling “several player-led community service events for young people in the Washington, DC area.” They continued by saying, “NFL players love their country, support our troops, give back to their communities and strive to make America a better place.”

Tom Joyce sums up nicely why this is a horrifically stupid move on behalf of the Eagles:
There is a major problem here. The player’s union decided they were not going to give back to impoverished children in Washington, D.C., just because of their dispute over the national anthem with Trump.
That’s an immature move by the union; they are taking out their frustrations on children who have nothing to do with the feud. If the players wanted to give back, as the statement reads, then they could still give back. In fact, with the White House celebration canceled, they have even more time to give back. There is no law that says they have to meet with the president in order to give back to the community in which he resides.
Plus, if these players truly cared about helping the black community, working with children in a city like Washington, D.C., which is nearly half African-American, would be a perfect opportunity.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is what happens when you over-politicize things and turn everything into some sort of crusade for moral righteousness, which conveniently lines up with your own personal worldview rather than what equals true righteousness, i.e., the Word of God.
If the Eagles want to be viewed as a team with class, they better look into changing their behavior and learning how to leave politics out of their work.

This report is absolutely wild.
It is also entirely believable given the way Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attempts to skirt the truth.
Apparently, AOC’s chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, was given his position on Alexandria’s staff after funneling cash for her campaign through her boyfriend, Riley Roberts.
Check it out…
“A rich guy used a PAC to pay @AOC’s boyfriend $6,000 when her campaign was running out of money. After AOC won, she gave that rich guy a job in her office. Follow me on a journey,” author Luke Thompson said.

“Last week, @AOC and her Chief of Staff @saikatc (the rich guy in question) freaked out on me when I pointed out it looked like she’d hired her boyfriend. I did some digging in the FEC. Turns out Saikat has “hired” her boyfriend, before…just not to do any actual work,” he said.

“[email protected] paid Brand New Congress LLC, which @saikatc owns, for strategic consulting. @BrandNew535, the PAC Saikat ran in parallel to his LLC, turned around and paid Riley Roberts – the boyfriend – the same amount as its sole “marketing consultant”. How swampy,” he said.

Roberts lists his residence as Arizona, where he's from, for the purposes of the disbursement, but for the in-kind work in 2018 and his cash donations to @AOC's campaign, he lists New York. Looks like a sad attempt to be sneaky. pic.twitter.com/lNAzmm4svP

When @BrandNew535 decided to pay six grand to Roberts, AOC's campaign was $24,000 in the hole, having raised only about $3,000. By the end of 2017, she'd raised just over $8,000 but spent about $37,250. That's a lot of money on somebody's credit card. pic.twitter.com/0vdioqSigu

Now @saikatc says he left @BrandNew535 sometime in August of 2017. But @justicedems, which he continued running, and which remains on his profile, shared an address with @AOC's campaign. It appears he still owns Brand New Congress LLC. pic.twitter.com/T0MS7ab80x

More from Medium:
A quick tour through AOC’s campaign expenditures reveals the extent to which Brand New Congress midwifed her campaign into existence, precisely as the FAQ described above would have it. But AOC’s campaign was different from the others backed by Brand New Congress PAC, and not simply because she won. Like other candidates, AOC paid Brand New Congress LLC for strategic consulting, in her case totaling $18,880.14. Unlike in the other cases, Brand New Congress PAC turned around and paid her boyfriend as a “marketing consultant”.
Indeed, while Brand New Congress PAC’s ten largest expenditures were paid to Brand New Congress LLC for “strategic consulting,” a sum that totaled $261,165.20 over the course of the campaign, its eleventh and twelfth largest expenditures were paid to Riley Roberts.
Brand New Congress PAC paid Roberts $3,000 on August 9th:

Ocasio-Cortez’s chief of staff is a supporter of a man who was an “ally of Adolf Hitler.”

Chicago Police RUIN Jussie Smollett’s Day, Officially Charge Him With Felony [Details]
He’s toast!
Things just went from bad to worse for “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett.
After being caught orchestrating a hate crime against himself and lying about it on national TV during an interview with Robin Roberts, Jussie has now been declared a “suspect” by the Chicago Police Department.
From Daily Wire:

Chicago Police Chief Communications Officer Anthony Guglielmi tweeted: “Case Update: Jussie Smollett is now officially classified as a suspect in a criminal investigation by #ChicagoPolice for filing a false police report (Class 4 felony). Detectives are currently presenting evidence before a Cook County Grand Jury.”

In 2007, Smollett “provided false information” to police after receiving a DUI.
From Daily Wire:
Jussie Smollett pleaded no contest to DUI, driving without a license, and providing false information to law enforcement officials in 2007, according to new reports released on Tuesday.
“Tuesday the Los Angeles City Attorney’s office confirmed that in August of 2007 Smollett pleaded no contest to DUI, driving without a license and providing false information to law enforcement,” CBS Chicago reported. “He was sentenced to two years probation and a choice of a fine or jail. Officials at the office could not confirm which Smollett chose. A spokesman for the Chicago Police Department said the department was already aware of the plea.”
This latest revelation follows several significant developments over the last few days, and could end up impacting how prosecutors handle potential false report charges.
Senators Kamala Harris (CA) and Cory Booker (NJ) are both running for president. The chances that either person secures the Democrat nomination are slim, at best.
After hearing that Empire actor Jussie Smollett was the “victim” of a “hate crime,” both Booker and Harris rushed to slam the “attack” as a “modern day lynching.”
Of course, the country now knows that Smollett faked the attack and paid two brothers to orchestrate the whole thing.
Now, Harris is at a loss for words when confronted by a reporter asking about Smollett:
.@JussieSmollett is one of the kindest, most gentle human beings I know. I’m praying for his quick recovery.
This was an attempted modern day lynching. No one should have to fear for their life because of their sexuality or color of their skin. We must confront this hate.
— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) January 29, 2019
WATCH:
Check out Booker:
.@eschor asks @CoryBooker to respond to reports that the Jussie Smollett attack may have been planned by the actor.
He called the attack a "modern day lynching" when the news broke. pic.twitter.com/8Zf8y7vhrv

Jussie said he was baffled that people didn’t believe him. Apparently, he’s just not that good of an actor, huh?
If Smollett was being written off the show prior to this insane “hate crime,” what will happen to him now?
Will social justice warriors voice their support? Will he maybe get his own spinoff?
How about Smollett pays for his crime and serves his time? That seems like the most appropriate response.
Don’t hold your breath waiting for lefties to say they were sorry for jumping on the Jussie bandwagon, though.
They’ll hold strong togetther and attempt to steer the conversation toward “racism in America.” They’ll make it seem as if Smollett is the true victim.
Count on it.
