Transgender Activist Burned Down Own Michigan Home for Sympathy and Media Attention
Are hate crime hoaxes the fashionable new liberal accessory for Spring 2019?
A transgender activist in Jackson, Michigan, has been arrested for burning down her own home to gain sympathy and media attention because she feared gay victimhood had disappeared from the news in her area.
Police now say the locally celebrated gay activist has been charged with a fake hate crime for the 2017 act of arson.
She is even accused of killing the five pets that died in the flames.

Nikki Joly, a well-known transgender activist in Jackson, Michigan, was arrested recently and charged with arson and for filing a fake hate crimes report after an investigation revealed she set fire to her own home in 2017, the Detroit News reported.
The 54-year-old Joly was praised by the city’s elite for her work for gays in Jackson.
As the paper reported:
In the prior six months, he helped open the city’s first gay community center, organized the first gay festival and, after 18 years of failed attempts, helped lead a bruising battle for an ordinance that prohibits discrimination against gays.
For his efforts, a local paper named him the Citizen of the Year.
But in 2017 Joly’s house was set aflame and after an investigation, police ended up arresting Joly for the arson.
The arrest embarrassed the local bigwigs who supporter the gay activist.
“It’s embarrassing,” said Travis Trombley, a gay resident who fought for the ordinance. “How do you do it to the community you have put so much effort into helping?”
According to police, Joly may have set fire to the home because the “gay issue” had died down after the city passed a local non-discrimination rule. Police said the home was set ablaze to cause sympathy for Joly and to fool people into feeling that gays were still being attacked in Jackson.
To recap, things were going great for gays in Jackson so this gay activist had to create a fake hate crime to keep the outrage machine running.
Naturally, Joly was all over the news ginning up sympathy right after the blaze.
But now some people who donated to help Joly in the wake of the fire are confused and angry and want their money back, especially after a highly detailed police report was published showing that police had a LOT of evidence that Joly set the fire.

BOMBSHELL: Overstock CEO Says Strzok Had Him Commit Political Espionage, & Comey’s Involved
UMMMMM…..
WHAT. THE. HECK?? This sounds like kind of a big deal… From Daily Wire: Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne, who resigned from the company on Thursday amid his alleged ties to a government operation, made bombshell accusations on CNN late on Thursday night, claiming that top FBI officials reached out to him in 2015-2016 to conduct law enforcement activities that turned out to be political espionage. Byrne appeared to indicate that the request came from FBI agents after it was passed down from a top FBI official, who he later says he learned was anti-Trump agent Peter Strzok. Byrne said that the political espionage operation targeted four candidates: Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz.

VIDEO PROOF: Democrat Rep. Says We Need the Undocumented to Mow ‘Our Beautiful Lawns’
Will the MSM care? Nah.
Imagine if New Jersey Democrat Rep. Tom Malinowski – Who? – was a Republican. He would, unequivocally, beyond a shadow of a doubt, be forced to resign from office. No question about it. Here’s why… From Daily Wire: Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-NJ) explained to his constituents earlier in the week that illegal immigrants are necessary members of New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District because they are willing to take on the jobs that the community’s teenagers will no longer do. Malinowski noted, “We have to think about the jobs because the reason this happens is because there are a lot of jobs in our community that, like it or not, for better or worse, Americans are not willing to take.” He added, “I mean, who do you think is taking care of our seniors? Fifty percent of the eldercare workers in the state of New Jersey are immigrants, most of them legal – most of them documented – but certainly some of them are not. Who do you think is mowing our beautiful lawns in Somerset County? We don’t usually ask but a lot of those workers are undocumented.” Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) used to talk an awful lot like President Trump, back in the day. In fact, old (…or young?) Pelosi did not care for illegal aliens. She even went as far as saying “we certainly don’t” need more of them. See for yourself: https://twitter.com/IWV/status/1152186873252651014?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1152186873252651014&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftherightscoop.com%2Fvideo-surfaces-showing-hypocrite-pelosi-sounding-a-lot-like-trump%2F Pelosi doesn’t get along well with young House Democrats. She took a major swipe at AOC, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and another freshman liberal in a way that caught Twitter’s attention. See for yourself: Speaker Pelosi says @AOC, @IlhanMN, @AyannaPressley and @RashidaTlaib “have their public whatever and their Twitter world. But they didn’t have any following. They’re four people and that’s how many votes they…
