Judge Michael Toomin blasted Foxx for refusing to fully recuse herself from the case as well as exchanging text messages about the investigation with Smollett’s family.
In August, Judge Toomin appointed former U.S. attorney, Dan K. Webb, to investigate why the charges were dropped.
In dropping the charges, Foxx’s office had claimed Smollett was being treated the same as other defendants who’d faced similar charges in previous cases.

Foxx’s office also couldn’t identify a shred of new evidence that arose between the initial indictment and its dismissal that would have led prosecutors to believe the case against Smollett wasn’t strong, Webb said.

The Smollett drama certainly isn’t over, and it’s getting even more characters. Smollett’s attorneys have raised the question of political motivation as has Foxx’s re-election campaign.
Foxx’s campaign committee issued a biting statement Tuesday referring to former FBI Director James Comey’s decision to briefly reopen an investigation into Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton’s email shortly before the presidential election in 2016 that Donald Trump would win. “What’s questionable here is the James Comey-like timing of that charging decision”…which can only be interpreted as the further politicization of the justice system, something voters in the era of Donald Trump should consider offensive,” the statement from Friends for Foxx said. Smollett’s attorney also raised political implications. The attempt to re-prosecute Smollett “on the eve of the Cook County State’s Attorney election is clearly all about politics not justice,” she said. Smollett, 37, has not had any notable film or television roles announced since his departure from the TV series was made public in April 2019.

You’d think that once a baby is breathing, it would be non-controversial to expect doctors would do everything possible to save that life, but you’d be wrong.
In Colorado, legislation was put forward that would obligate medical staff to intervene and save a life once that first breath had been taken. But the abortion lobby has over-ruled common sense.
Just because you have been born into this world, doesn’t mean your life has value, anymore. Under these new rules, you only have value if mom ‘assigns’ you some.
If you are worthless or disposable, you will die, even if you manage to survive attempts to abort you.
Let that same woman give birth in a public toilet and discard her baby in the trash, however, and she’ll face a criminal trial for it.
The only difference between the two scenarios is the desire for an abortion.
On Tuesday, Colorado Democrats voted down a bill seeking to mandate medical care to born-alive survivors of abortions, House Bill 1068.
“The bill establishes a physician-patient relationship between a child born alive after or during an abortion and the physician who performed or attempted to perform the abortion,” outlines Colorado.gov.

Republican Colorado Rep. Shane Sandridge, the sponsor of House Bill 1068, emphasized that the legislation is not an abortion bill, but a bill against murder.
“It’s not an abortion bill,” Sandridge said, according to the outlet. “It’s a murder bill.”
…National Right to Life legislative director Jennifer Popik ripped Democrats over their votes, reported CBN News.
“Pro-abortion Democrats oppose this bill and they should be forced to explain why their allegiance to the abortion industry’s agenda should allow a practice that is tantamount to infanticide,” Popik said. “It is outrageous that a born-alive human person may be subjected to lethal violence with impunity or be treated as if she is medical waste.”

I only mentioned Smullett’s homosexuality because Democrats, Hollywood and fake news media exploited it to promote their lie that Trump supporters hate blacks and homosexuals.
The Chicago mayor and police department were outraged when the state’s attorney dropped all 16 felony charges against Smollett for staging the hoax. The city of Chicago demands that Smullett pay the $130,000 for the cost of investigating his bogus attack. Despite documented evidence that Smullett staged a hoax, he is still arrogantly claiming he did nothing wrong.
Seniors, women and even teens who wear MAGA caps are being assaulted and severely beaten because of deranged Trump resisters like Smullett spreading lies about Trump and his supporters.
Apparently, Taraji thinks we should get the heck over it because Smullett is good for her TV show. Smollett attempted to generate racial violence and arrogantly remains unrepentant. Justice requires that his career be over.
Folks, why are progressives never held accountable for promoting racial hate, hatred for achievers, hatred for Christians, hatred for straight white men, hatred for successful blacks who do not vote Democrat and hatred for police. Progressives are not even held accountable for promoting and implementing violence upon anyone who disagrees with their radical agenda?
Jussie Smollett should be all over media apologizing to Trump, his supporters and America. Bets are, that will never happen.

“ Mean Girls ” on Twitter are rage-tweeting that an actress in a Broadway show follows the President on social media .

As it has been made clear , the tolerant left isn ’ t so tolerant as they claim to be .
Just like “ The Plastics ” — the popular-girl clique in “ Mean Girls ” — you must conform… or else .

Here’s the thing that many of these people are missing… Turner also follows several leftwing accounts.
Sure, she follows Tim Tebow, Tucker Carlson, and Fox News, but she also follows: Barack Obama, AOC, Buzzfeed News, Vox, The Atlantic, several Broadway actors, and the Alabama communications director for Mike Bloomberg’s campaign.
What does this mean? Exactly what the so-called “tolerant” left doesn’t want to admit — that conservatives are willing to hear other opinions and are much more tolerant of different viewpoints than they are.
As Jonathan Haidt wrote in his book, The Righteous Mind, conservatives understand liberals better than liberals understand conservatives. This is likely because we are bombarded on all sides with liberal ideology in Hollywood, the Media(D), and politics, and because don’t demand that they are censored for their views.

WATCH: DNC Chair Tom Perez Says ‘There Is No Ideological Divide’ Between Democrats And Bernie’s Socialism

If there is no “ ideological divide ” then why was Bernie “ the Independent Senator from Vermont ” for so long ?
While speaking with MSNBC ’ s Andrea Mitchell , DNC Chair Tom Perez says that there is no “ ideological divide ” between Bernie ’ s “ democratic socialism ” and the mainstream of the Democratic Party .

PEREZ: Well, you know, I think the real thing that folks understand is that what unites us far exceeds what our differences are.

Really, Tom?
The thing is, Bernie hasn’t been sufficiently queried on his views that weren’t just “democratic” socialist, but all-in communist at some points. Meanwhile, he’s been praised for his consistency in his ideology.
It makes people wonder… which of Bernie’s views (if any) have changed?
Back in January of 2016, Paul Sperry wrote an article in the New York Post highlighting some of Bernie’s more collectivist and pro-communist beliefs.
He begins the piece this way:
Mainstreaming Sanders requires whitewashing his radical pro-communist past. It won’t be easy to do. If Sanders were vying for a Cabinet post, he’d never pass an FBI background check. There’d be too many subversive red flags popping up in his file. He was a communist collaborator during the height of the Cold War. Source: New York Post
Yet, making Bernie mainstream is precisely what the Democrats have done and are continuing to do because… Orange Man Bad.
Here’s a summary of what Sperry noted in his article:
1964 while attending the University of Chicago, Sanders joined the Young People’s Socialist League, the youth wing of the Socialist Party USA.
organized the United Packinghouse Workers Union, a communist front organization that was under investigation by the House Committee on Un-American Activities at that time.
after graduating, Bernie moved to Vermont and headed up the American People’s History Society, a Marxist propaganda outfit.
the American People’s History Society under Bernie produced “a glowing documentary on the life of socialist revolutionary Eugene Debs.” Debs was jailed for espionage under the Red Scare and Bolsheviks called him “America’s Greatest Marxist.” As of 2016, Sanders had a photo of Debs in his Senate office.
in the 1970s, Sanders started the Liberty Union Party, which called for the nationalization of all US banks and the public takeover of all private utility companies.
when he was the mayor of Burlington, “he restricted property rights for landlords, set price controls and raised property taxes to pay for communal land trusts.”
in 1985, Bernie traveled to Managua to celebrate the “heroic revolution” which brought to power the Marxist-Leninist Sandinista government. He also violated America’s antii-communist policy by writing a letter to the Sandinistas denouncing the Reagan administration’s backing of the Contra rebels.
Sanders also lobbied the government to end the proxy war and adopted Managua as a sister city. He even invited Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega to visit.
the much-touted “honeymoon” in the USSR was actually a visit to a Soviet “sister city” to Burlington shortly after he was married.
in 1989, right before the U.S. won the Cold War, Bernie addressed the US Peace Council — a known front for the Communist Party USA.
Bernie’s policies are taken from what he admires from the former Soviet Union, Cuba, Nicaragua, and all of the other places where socialism has failed. (Or not “properly implemented” as the Ché-shirt wearing crowd would say.)
He wants to:
nationalize healthcare
put drug companies out of business
break up big banks
control the energy industry
give out “free” college tuition
a “living wage”
guaranteed housing and jobs through big government projects
How will he pay for it? Taxes, taxes, taxes, of course!
“The rich” will pay first — 90% or more tax rate
“Speculation” tax on Wall Street trades
Green New Deal-style “carbon” tax on pretty much everything
So, is Tom Perez saying that the Democratic Party supports these positions? After all, he says that there is “no ideological divide” between mainstream Democrats and Bernie, and it’s looking more and more like that’s true.

I was approached and asked this question: “Does anyone remember the Alamo?”
Being a Texas resident, but a transplant from California, I reluctantly said, “yes.” I was pleased by how much I did know and admittedly quite embarrassed at what I didn’t.
In Texas, they haven’t forgotten – but that’s because, for Texans, the Alamo isn’t just an old Spanish Mission and a popular tourist attraction. It was the scene of a pivotal battle in Texas’ fight for independence from Mexico – analogous to the American colonies’ war for Independence from Great Britain.
Texas is an American state today. But it was once an independent state – the Republic of Texas. Many Americans, outside of the Lone Star State, don’t know that – let alone remember.
Texas won its independence from Mexico after a series of bloody battles, of which the siege of the Alamo – which lasted from February 23 through March 6, 1836.
It was a pivotal battle, the analog of Lexington and Concord for the 13 colonies, because of its “tide-turning,’ impact, stirring the passions of both freedom and fury.
A small group of Texans – about 200 men, led by Colonel James Bowie and William Travis, along with legendary frontiersman Davey Crockett – had holed up in the old Spanish Mission near what is today San Antonio. There they faced an entire army led by the Mexican President and General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, which laid claim to what it (and he) considered San Antonio de Bexar and part of Mexico.
Santa Anna vowed to rid the disputed area of anyone who opposed his rule.
The Alamo defenders fought off two successive waves of attacks by Santa Anna’s men, who outnumbered the defenders by at least ten to one. Eventually, the defenders were overwhelmed – and slaughtered.
No quarter was given by the Mexican Army – which executed the handful of survivors who had surrendered – on the direct orders of Santa Anna. It is said this outrage triggered the army of Texas volunteers – known as Texians – to subsequently rout the Mexican Army, about a month later, at the Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836. It was reported that Texans shouted, “ Remember the Alamo!” during that battle.
Santa Anna was captured – and imprisoned.
Texas achieved its de facto independence from Mexico – and became the Republic of Texas for the next ten years, until it was formally annexed by the United States on December 29, 1845.
It is the only American state to have been independent of the United States.

Winchell’s previous works include Camelot, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and Forever Plaid.
Corey Cowart, executive director of the San Antonio Symphony, says the story of the Alamo is something all Texans “hear from the time we’re young.” But this is the first time in the 300-plus year history of the Alamo that it will be put to music.
“The symphony is proud to be the soundtrack” for this story, Cowart says.
If you love the Alamo, it will touch you. If you love great music, it will move you. If you love the theater, it will speak to you.
Two performance are scheduled. Tickets start at $29.50 and can be purchased at the Tobin Center’s web site (see here).

clashdaily--2020-02-14--WATCH: Crenshaw Calls Out Pelosi Over Budget… Nukes Her With Her Own Logic

Pelosi loves to wag her finger and call out Trump as immoral , lately even using the budget to do so… until Dan Crenshaw flips the script .
So far as we can tell , Pelosi has one great love — being seen as morally superior to everyone she disagrees with .
And it really doesn ’ t matter what lie she has to tell to get that result .
Lately , she ’ s been using the budget as a club to hit Trump with .
Crenshaw sees through her act , and better still , he sees how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up to condemns her in the process .
Trending : No , Senator , It Is NOT Congress ’ s Job To ‘ Redistribute Wealth ’ Pelosi has not yet put forward a budget .
Dan was using his time in speaking with a Director testifying about the President ’ s proposed budget… after the Director has been raked over the coals by others , and he asked a couple rhetorical questions about whether the House had put forward a budget of its own ( it had not ) .
“ …Lots of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ values being proposed .
And I use that word very carefully because Nancy Pelosi likes to say ‘ show me your budget , show me your values.
’ So the implication is there ’ s no values if you don ’ t have a budget .
But you say that , and yet the stones are cast in a way that would imply that the President ’ s budget is without values , is without any moral character .
Because that , really , is the implication being thrown around .
‘ you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this , you don ’ t spend enough money on that , how dare you , have you no heart ?
’ That ’ s always the shame used , the moral grandstanding to make the points .
Why is it we have an unending debt , unending growth in debt , why is that ?
Because this body engages in nothing but moral shaming ; you don ’ t have a heart if you ’ re not willing to spend double or triple the money that we are .
Never mind that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the second , third order consequences , no thought into whether or not that money is being well spent .
Just moral shaming .
Why ?
Because as Alex De Tocqueville said , ‘ The end of a Republic is when politicians figure out they can bribe the people with their own money.
’ And they do so by morally shaming their political opponents .
You want to understand where we ’ re at ?
That ’ s exactly why .
Hey Nancy , do you think maybe that ’ s why Jesus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ plank from your own eye before trying to take out the speck from your neighbor ’ s eye ?
If Trump ’ s failure to include ONE thing in the budget reflects badly on his morals , what can it mean when Pelosi failed to make one at all… despite the Constitution calling it the House ’ s responsibility ?

President Trump’s budget got a lot of criticism today from some Democrats who REFUSE to actually propose their own budget. This is hypocrisy at its finest.

With a recent spate of born-male-but-competing-as-female athletes cleaning up in the awards (and scholarships) female HS athletes are taking a stand.
They want a fair playing field, and it’s pretty obvious to anyone looking at the results that young girls are now having to compete against functionally male bodies in athletic events.
If you cross that bridge, the logic would suggest you may as well do away with female sports altogether, and have everyone compete in one coed event.
That would, of course, spell the death of female athletic events because of the natural physiological advantages that a quick comparison of male and female athletic records would make patently obvious to all but the most ardent ‘gender is a social construct’ adherents.
This lawsuit arose in direct response to a couple of born-male athletes who could easily have been given their medals before anyone stepped onto the track.
Selina Soule, a senior at Glastonbury High School, Chelsea Mitchell, a senior at Canton High School and Alanna Smith, a sophomore at Danbury High School are represented by the conservative nonprofit organization Alliance Defending Freedom. They argue that allowing athletes with male anatomy to compete has deprived them of track titles and scholarship opportunities.
“Mentally and physically, we know the outcome before the race even starts,” said Smith, who is the daughter of former Major League pitcher Lee Smith. “That biological unfairness doesn’t go away because of what someone believes about gender identity. All girls deserve the chance to compete on a level playing field.”
The lawsuit was filed against the Connecticut Association of Schools-Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference and the boards of education in Bloomfield, Cromwell, Glastonbury, Canton and Danbury.
“Forcing girls to be spectators in their own sports is completely at odds with Title IX, a federal law designed to create equal opportunities for women in education and athletics,” attorney Christiana Holcomb said. “Connecticut’s policy violates that law and reverses nearly 50 years of advances for women.”
…The lawsuit centers on two transgender sprinters, Terry Miller and Andraya Yearwood, who have frequently outperformed their cisgender competitors.
The two seniors have combined to win 15 girls state indoor or outdoor championship races since 2017, according to the lawsuit.
The three plaintiffs have competed directly against them, almost always losing to Miller and usually behind Yearwood. Mitchell finished third in the 2019 state championship in the girls 55-meter indoor track competition behind Miller and Yearwood.
“Our dream is not to come in second or third place, but to win fair and square,” Mitchell said. “All we’re asking for is a fair chance.” —ABC

clashdaily--2020-02-14--ROGER STONE: Scott Adams Enraged Over Obvious Miscarriage Of Justice (Video)

You don ’ t normally see this guy dropping f-bombs .
But he was fired up today .
It all came down to the potential implications of the DOJ being weaponized against private citizens for political purposes .
Scott knows a thing or two about using the powers of persuasion to achieve his goals .
Among other things , he is a trained hypnotist .
He understands that , in the right circumstances , one guy who knows how to work a crowd can bend others to his will… especially if there is some reason to accept that person as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ experienced it himself during his own jury duty .
Trending : No , Senator , It Is NOT Congress ’ s Job To ‘ Redistribute Wealth ’ For example , the foreman of a jury with a background in law has a natural ability to influence a jury by reason of his knowledge of law that combines his position of authority in the group with his perceived professional authority .
Throw a political ax to grind against the defendant into the mix and you have a real potential for a miscarriage of justice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Trump and Barr are corrupt and need to be thrown out , Scott Adams was looking elsewhere for malfeasance .
And that was the spark that set off Scott Adams in his rant .
For those who aren ’ t going to play the whole video , here ’ s his tweet version .
And THIS isn ’ t at all suspicious , is it ?
And Techno Fog — a top-notch source in all things Deep State and Russiagate related , made some interesting observations of the kind that open up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at tweet like this might be viewed as ‘ evidence of bias ’ .
Might this seem a little bit ’ emotionally invested ’ in the verdict ?
It keeps getting ‘ curiouser and curiouser ’ .
Of course , the fact that the prosecutors that stepped down are part of the Mueller team should itself raise questions about misuse of political power , especially with some of the Mueller team ’ s past histories of ethically dubious legal methods .

Rumors regarding the make-up of the jury that voted to convict Roger Stone floated around, but no reporter would publicly identify any jurors. One juror has revealed herself in a CNN column.
