Jussie Smollett files for a new trial after taking issue with jury selection that screened out people who would believe outrageous bullshit

Jussie Smollett’s legal team have filed documents to request a new trial unless the judge reverses the verdict and finds him not guilty of disorderly conduct for faking the police report, according to TMZ.

The actor requested the new trial two months after he was found guilty by the jurors of five of the six felony charges against him.

The outlet reported that Jussie claimed his constitutional rights were violated after his legal team was blocked from participating in the juror selection process.

Here’s another reason to hate Ottawa … and the CBC

The trucks have left Ottawa, but ‘phantom honking’ lingers for many downtown

Kevin uses one word to describe the first days of the protests in downtown Ottawa: torture.

I am ashamed of my country. Via Twitchy.

Forget Crack Pipes, a CDC Provider is Promoting ‘Safe’ Fentanyl Use

We live in the golden age of the junkie. Not even in the darkest days of the counterculture were addicts able to swarm major cities and sit on the street getting high while knowing that all of their needs and wants would be taken care of. Billions are spent on “homeless services” for crackheads, meth abusers, and heroin addicts whose plight is blamed on the cost of housing.

PESHAWAR – Sophisticated military weapons abandoned by retreating US and NATO forces in Afghanistan are now openly for sale at thriving illegal weapons markets in tribal areas along the Pakistan-Afghan border.

Those markets are where several militant, separatist and terror groups operating in Pakistan against state forces shop for their wares, evidenced in recent attacks on Pakistani security forces where militants used advanced Western weapons.

Biden: Wait Another Month or So to See if Sanctions Are Working

In yet another… uneven press conference appearance, President Biden’s worst line was, “they are profound sanctions. Let’s have a conversation in another month or so to see if they’re working.”

It’s not clear that President Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian government, and the Ukrainian armed forces have another month. Russian and Ukrainian forces are fighting over control of Antonov Airfield, just 15 minutes from Kyiv.
