STEPHEN A. SMITH…SPORTSCASTER ‘AND’ FOREIGN POLICY EXPERT!!! WHO KNEW???


Ya know, other than some half-baked actor or singer, I doubt there is anyone considered less credible when it comes to the truly important issues of the day than someone known as a sportscaster. I mean, seriously, what’s the point in listening to someone whose job you could likely teach a monkey to do? So just what is it about one who has perhaps demonstrated a certain level of skill level when it comes to providing us all manner of useless statistics about ‘sports,’ that has convinced one that he is in any way qualified to comment on issues that are far more important than the outcome of some silly sporting event or the performance of its participants?

So, I’m sure that anyone who is even marginally informed is aware that’s President Trump’s plan regarding taking control of Gaza has met with a certain amount of skepticism. And it was earlier this week that, for whatever reason, ESPN resident loudmouth Stephen A. Smith took time away from Super Bowl week, and a flurry of NBA trade activity, to address the president’s announced, undefined, and not yet fully detailed vision for U.S. involvement in Gaza. However, despite jam-packed sports week and the limited knowledge of the president’s intentions, Smith blasted the idea on Wednesday’s edition of the Stephen A. Smith Show as “utterly ridiculous."

Smith said, “He sounded like he was looking to build Trump casinos or Trump hotels or whatever the hell else he’s trying to come up with.” And this dolt went on to say, “It was utterly ridiculous and I’m going to say that right now, plain and simple.” Smith acknowledged that Middle East policy isn’t his “lane” but he still managed to come to the conclusion that President Trump’s statement somehow warranted his ‘expert’ analysis. He said, “But when I saw this president speak last night as if he was in the process of facilitating a business deal, that is where my antennas went up, and I became incredibly alarmed.” And he added, “You have no business doing that."

He said, “Do you understand how the Gaza Strip has been ravaged? Do you understand what that area of this world looks like right now in the aftermath of Hamas invading Israel, killing hundreds of people — if not over a thousand — along with other things they are they are alleged to have done? [Do] you have any idea? Have you seen the footage? Have you seen the wreckage? It’s been reduced to rubble. It’s [uninhabitable] right now. And I get that part, but to go out there and to say that they should just leave, that doesn’t even begin to say irresponsible.” Actually, what would be irresponsible would be to continue doing those things that clearly haven’t worked.

But if Smith has an alternative, perhaps he should speak up. Otherwise, he needs to take a seat and let the adults figure it out. And why is it, all of a sudden, that we should care what a guy running a jock show thinks? Smith doesn’t know all that much about sports, and he certainly knows nothing about current events. He’s merely an entertainer; that is, if you’re entertained by lots of loud, obnoxious talk about the trivialities of sports where one host tries to one-up the other hosts. Clearly the guy has both a sizable ego and an overinflated sense of importance. Frankly. I’m not sure why it is that anyone with a brain would waste a second of life listening to him.

As for the issue of Gaza, which Smith knows nothing about, Gaza belongs to Israel, so Israel is free to do whatever it wants to do with it, including turning over stewardship to the U.S. Israel only temporarily gave Gaza to the Arabs, but the Arab Gazans turned the land over to the terrorist group Hamas which went on to prove that a two-state solution with the Arabs is virtually impossible because the only thing they know how to do is destroy, not to create or build. For the builders, you have to look to intelligent, knowledgeable, compassionate, and strong leadership of those like President Trump. It’s a brilliant plan by a master planner, builder, and leader.

And while I agree that Smith might be able to influence more than a few of those on the left, most certainly it’s not because he possesses some superior intellect. Logic and reason are traits of superior intellect and it’s those like those boob that are totally bereft of logic and reason. He continues to portray Blacks as victims. And he has a tendency to add in a certain amount of hate/racism just to keep Black folks listening and nodding in agreement, but there’s no needle movement. He’s just looking to angle himself into a political issue to elevate his political aspirations. At the end of the day, he’s just another Democrat trying to divide people based on race.

All we’re seeing from Smith is yet another typical leftist knee-jerk reaction. He would be better served by simply keeping quiet. Actually, President Trump has proposed a very out-of-the-box solution. It almost certainly will not come to pass, but it has gotten people talking, which is always the first step in finding a solution. And leftists, apparently all the way down to sportscasters, are shell-shocked. They’ve never seen decisive, merit-based, principle-driven leadership in action before. President Trump’s proposal is the by far the best one to date. He’s trying to give them a place to live. Democrats would rather they stay where they are in the squalid ruins of cities.

Obviously, Smith, who is nothing more than a self-absorbed two-bit little race hustler, took the bait. He also needs to stay in his lane because he has no clue what he’s talking about. Apparently Smith has some grand delusion that people may actually want to hear his opinion. In reality, very few give a rat’s ass about what this guy thinks about Gaza, or anything else! He is just another big mouth with opinions, period. I’m pretty sure that old Smitty likely has some pretty serious political aspirations and may even see himself as president someday. God forbid. But honestly, why would anyone in their right mind care what he thinks?

Smith has exactly zero alternative solutions for Gaza, he’s simply shooting off his mouth. We have seen for decades now leaving Palestinians and Hamas in Gaza to build weapons and secret tunnels hasn’t worked. Just as we have also seen for decades absolutely no one offering up any real solutions to the situation that would have any chance of working. Nothing! Gaza has simply festered and festered. So, maybe instead of opening his mouth to call the idea ridiculous, he should come up with an alternative idea and explain how it is better. Because complaining about someone else’s idea without one of your own is just pointless, boring, complaining.

Smith has a single digit IQ, no one cares what he thinks. And does he even want peace in the Middle East. President Trump’s plan stands in stark contrast to every other proposal that has been made in the last 60 years of failure in the Middle East. It would force the other countries in the region to take responsibility for fixing the problem that they have plagued that part of the world with. The U.S. would simply push the countries in line with the problem to bring an end to hostilities and permanently fix the problem through social, economic changes and getting rid of Hamas. President Trump has not committed troops or American tax dollars to fix anything in Gaza.

And finally, morons like Smith fall for it every time. President Trump says something outlandish; everyone has a hissy, and then he negotiates down to what he really wants. Clearly, Smith has no clue what he’s talking about! No one has said anything about Trump Hotels and Trump Casinos. President Trump has also made the offer to level and remove debris and ordinance and develop. Who else do you know that have volunteered to do the same thing? President Trump offers peace and stability and jobs and a higher standard of life. But because it’s President Trump’s idea it’s rejected. Leftists are not in charge and the left doesn’t have intelligent, common ideas.
