She's looking for a ghost writer

BULLY BOY PRESS &   CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

CRANKY CLINTON HAS DECIDED TO GHOST WRITE ANOTHER TOME.

IN AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW -- MUST CREDIT  BULLY BOY PRESS &   CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- CRANKY TOLD THESE REPORTERS AS SHE SAT BEHIND HER DESK AT HER COMPUTER, "IT'S A PIFFLE.  A TRIFLE.  SOMETHING TO KEEP MY NAME IN THE NEWS UNTIL 2020 WHEN I RUN AGAIN.  OF COURSE I WON'T TELL ANYTHING, I NEVER DO.  I JUST ACT LIKE I'M THE DALAI LAMA -- ONLY IN LARGER ROBES.  IF YOU WANT THE JOB, BOYS, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT NO ONE READING THE BOOK SHOULD COME AWAY FEELING LIKE THEY KNOW ME ANY BETTER.  ALSO --"

WHEN WE CORRECTED HER THAT THIS WAS AN INTERVIEW WITH HER AND NOT A JOB INTERVIEW, CRANKY GREW PETULANT AND DEFENSIVE.

"THAT WAS OFF THE RECORD! YOU CAN'T PRINT THAT!" CRANKY HOLLERED HITTING THE "DELETE" KEY ON THE COMPUTER KEYBOARD IN FRONT OF HER REPEATEDLY.

"WHY WON'T THIS DELETE YOU!  I SWEAR, COMPUTERS ARE HARDER THAN FAXES! HUMA!  HUMAN!  WHERE ARE YOU HUMA!"

RISING, CRANKY STORMED OFF MUTTERING, "SHE BETTER NOT BE WITH THAT PERV AGAIN!  HE ALREADY COST ME THE ELECTION!"

FROM THE TCI WIRE:


In Basra today, ALSUMARIA reports, hundreds of Iraqis turned out to protest in the dispute over a waterway between Iraq and neighboring Kuwait.

Such disputes are not umcommon for neighboring countries.

And Iraq shares borders with Syria, Jordan, Turkey, Iran, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.


On Iran . . .



Iran is rapidly taking over more and more of Iraq even after the U.S. has squandered three trillion dollars there. Obvious long ago!









Hayder al-Abadi has responded that Iran is not in control of Iraq.

Others would beg to differ, many would differ over what control means.

Certainly, Iran has seized land from the border it shares with Iraq.  That has caused tensions in Iraq.

Patrick Cockburn of THE INDEPENDENT has long insisted that Iran chose the 2010 prime minister of Iraq (no, it was the US government and the Iranian government together).

Iranian militias run freely in Iraq.

THE NEW YORK TIMES has reported on increased control of Iraq by Iran for over ten years now in one one report after another.

For over ten years now, the US government has decried Iran's influence in Iraq.

(And we've noted that as a bordering neighbor, of course Iran will have some impact in Iraq.)

In the last year, Nouri al-Maliki has made repeated visits to Iran in what Iraqi political observers see as his attempt to be renamed prime minister.

Former Iraqi president Jalal Talabani was kept in office for a year after the stroke, despite being unable to walk or speak, due to his wife Hero's efforts with the government of Iran.


And Abdulrahman al-Rashed (AL-ARABYIA) argues in a new column:


The new US President Donald Trump criticized his predecessor Barack Obama several times. He said that Obama has left Iraq an easy target for the Iranians, squandering $3 trillion efforts deployed by the US to build an allied Iraq.

The Iranian authorities sent Trump indirect threatening messages instead of reassuring ones. They ordered one of their many militias in Iraq, al-Nujaba movement, to fire missiles in order to show its strength. Al-Nujaba is one of the militias that can target neighboring countries and is similar to the Yemeni Houthis that are also used by Iran to bomb Saudi Arabia with missiles financed by them.
Iran’s threat in Iraq is not just for the neighboring Gulf countries but rather a threat against Iraqis first and then against the surrounding countries.


Iran’s main objective is to seize Iraq, which is the second-richest country in the region, to finance its economic and military needs. During the past six years, Iran has converted Iraq into an Iranian military base, from which it wages its wars in Syria, and threatens Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Jordan.
The leadership of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards brags about not costing the Iranian treasury any money on foreign military activities in Syria and Iraq, because it depends on the Iraqi treasury that has become its financial portfolio and under the control of pro-Iranian groups after marginalizing the authorities of current Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi.



Meanwhile, ALSUMARIA reports roads to Baghdad's Tahrir Square were cut off in an attempt to halt today's protest

Celebrities

BULLY BOY PRESS &   CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

IN THE LATEST INSTALLMENT OF CELEBRITIES SAY THE DUMBEST THINGS, COMEDIAN AND PROUD BED WETTER SARAH SILVERMAN HAS ADVISED THE U.S. MILITARY TO STAGE A COUP AGAINST DONALD TRUMP.

REACHED FOR COMMENT, SARAH STATED, "I JUST FELT LIKE ELLEN WAS SUCKING UP ALL THE CRAZY IN THE ROOM.  AND IT REALLY BOTHERED ME.  BECAUSE I ALWAYS THOUGHT PEOPLE FOUND ME CRAZY BUT THEY WERE LOOKING AT ELLEN AND NOT ME!"



FROM THE TCI WIRE:


When Andrea Mitchell started wearing her 'summer dresses' on air on MSNBC I groaned -- they make clear that she is 70 years old -- no matter how 'freshened' up her face has been.  Who knew she was stupid enough to choose a professional photo wearing one?



Someone please tell White House Australia has more troops fighting ISIS in Iraq than any other ally + has fought at our side since WW2








Tacky clothes, tacky thoughts.

Andrea's got her Depends in a wad over the fact that President Donald Trump wants to examine a deal former President Barack Obama made to take refugees Australia had basically kept in pens and camps.

Andrea ignores that reality.  She ignores the struggle of the refugees who sailed to Australia.  She ignores everything because, damn it, she hates Donald Trump.

Does Australia have more troops fighting ISIS in Iraq than any other ally?

No.

According to US media, there are supposedly no foreign troops in Iraq fighting ISIS.

Remember?

"Train and advise."

Isn't it time she be shown the door before she embarrasses herself further.

"Slut."

What?

I'm just quoting her one line from her appearance on 30 ROCK -- how professional -- how news like.

Forever in ever in syndication, she's the catty cow who hissed "slut!" at another woman (Tina Fey's Liz) who was single, an adult and had sex.

Long after she's dead, that's all she'll be remembered for.

"Slut."

How appropriate.

Does Australia have the most troops in Iraq after the US?

That's probably not true.

They have "about 780" troops in Iraq.

That's per their own Defence Dept.

As for the UK?

It's a bit more complicated.

The official number has been 500 for some time.

In March, THE DAILY MIRROR reported:

Dozens more British troops are being sent to Iraq to help a massive push to drive out Islamic State, boosting the UK’s force in the region to more than 1,000.
It is the most UK military personnel fighting ISIS in the Middle East since our withdrawal from Iraq nearly seven years ago and signals an escalation in the fight against terror in Iraq.


In addition as many as 200 British special forces troops, including the SAS, Special Boat Service and Special Reconnaissamce Regiment, are actually fighting ISIS on the ground in Iraq and neighboring Syria.


this would appear to indicate that the Iraq number was higher than 500.  In addition, BBC NEWS reported in June that 300 more were being sent to Iraq.


And, of course, early last month, the British Army website posted on their Iraq operations page: "Following additional deployments, in the next few months we will have up to 1,350 UK personnel supporting Counter-[Islamic State] operations."



They have been moving towards that number and have already passed Australia's troop numbers.

I have no idea why that matters to Andrea.

If we want to play a numbers game, Australia, under John Howard, had 500 troops in Iraq while the UK and US had thousands.

The war was and is illegal.

Not really sure why Andrea's so eager to push deployments but if she is she should get her numbers right.

Another scam

BULLY BOY PRESS &   CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

MIKE HAGER TOLD THE WORLD HIS MOM DIED LAST SATURDAY BECAUSE OF DONALD TRUMP STOPPING IMMIGRATION FROM IRAQ FOR 90 DAYS WHILE POLICIES ARE REVIEWED.


REACHED FOR COMMENT, THOSE WHO SPENT THEIR DAY SNARLING OVER THE DEATH SAID, "SO WHAT?  SHE DID DIE.  JUST NOT FOR THAT REASON.  SHE'S STILL DEAD!  AND WE STILL BLAME TRUMP!"

CULT HILLARY LIVES!



Madeline Albright is the Democrat's Henry Kissinger.

No, I don't mean she slept with Gloria Steinem.  (At least, not as far as I know, but good for them if they shared a moment.)

Just as Henry Kissinger is vilified by those of us on the left (except Gloria Steinem -- but, hey, she slept with Mort too, remember?), Maddie is vilified as well.

You have to wonder how she fails to grasp that reality?

She is hated around the world.

If she truly wanted to help the Democrats, she would shut up because she would know that anything she says only hurts whatever cause she's supposedly trying to help.

You can't kill children -- half a million -- and pompously say -- on TV -- that the cost was worth it and expect to be seen as a humanitarian.

I seriously have to wonder if those little voices in Mad Maddie's head whispering to her "Speak up!  Weigh in!" aren't actually the ghosts of Lee Atwater and Murray Chotiner?


An Iraqi woman has died.
Elderly green card-holder who'd lived in US since 1995 dies in Iraq after being refused reentry to US






We're noting Garance because she's not a drama queen -- this incident has resulted in many drama queens grabbing their tiaras and crawling out of the woodwork.

So a 75-year-old woman died.

That is sad.

It's not unheard of.

From the video report, which is not a medical report, it appears she would have gone at any second.


The son says, "I really believe this in my heart, if they would have let us in, my mom, she would have made it and she would have been sitting right here next to me.  She's gone because of him."

[ADDENDUM added 2/1/17 at 7:54 p.m. -- The son lied.  His mother died 1/22/17.  He lied.  That's the culture we are living in.  People feel they will be rewarded and recognized for attacking Donald Trump so they'll go to any extreme.]

These are the heartaches that happen every day with immigration.

I'm really happy for so many of you that this is novel and new.

How fortunate you are to have never been exposed to the heartaches that so many Americans experienced when they become Americans.

Heart ripping stories -- much worse than the 75-year-old woman's -- are a reality.

But good for you that you've been so sheltered and protected -- and, yes, uncaring -- that this is your first encounter with a hardship.

A woman dies of natural causes and you're horrified.

Is it because there's a video?

Is it just because Donald Trump is president?

I don't know.

    Oh, Ellen, poor, Ellen

    BULLY BOY PRESS &   CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

    JUST WHAT THE COUNTRY NEEDED: POLITICAL TALK FROM ELLEN!

    ELLEN DEGENERES REPLACED ROSIE O'DONNELL AS THE QUEEN OF NICE.

    BUT, LIKE ROSIE, HER REIGN IS COMING TO AN END.

    A SURE SIGN IS THAT NOT ONLY DO RUMORS TALK ABOUT HOW MEAN SHE IS TO PEOPLE BUT NOW SHE'S GOING INTO POLITICS.

    ALL SHE NEEDS TO DO IS START RUNNING MCCALL'S AND SHE'S ROSIE ALL OVER!

    SHE'S NOT EVEN IN THE TOP TEN FOR SYNDICATED SHOWS ANYMORE.

    ALL THAT YAPPING OVER THE GUESTS AND THEN THAT DANCE BIT HASN'T AGED WELL.

    REACHED FOR COMMENT, SHE TOLD THESE REPORTERS THAT, IN APRIL, SHE'S GOING TO HAVE A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT TO UP HER RATINGS AND MEDIA PROFILE: "YEP, I'M STRAIGHT!"


    FROM THE TCI WIRE:

    Let's talk about what's happened.

    And let's call a group The Debra Messings because that instantly conveys insanity.

    So you move into a neighborhood.  You paint your house, you move all your belongings in.

    Then The Debra Messings see your things.

    Well, they tell themselves, you seem okay there but you'd be much better there with a few changes.

    So they break into your home and put things the way they'd have them.

    And in the process, they destroy your home.

    Although it's crumbling now and falling apart, suddenly they notice someone has moved in next to you and they're off to 'renovate' that home as well.

    That's America.

    That's what we've done.

    We never dealt with the Iraq War.

    It was a war based on lies and none of the liars faced charges -- let alone a Congressional investigation.

    After the November 2008 election, we allowed the US media to 'retreat' or 'surrender.'

    They began decamping from Iraq.

    Before Dick Clark's Rocking New Years Eve of 2008 aired, ABC NEWS had already announced that they'd be rebroadcasting BBC NEWS clips to cover any developments in Iraq.

    And the American people were okay with that.

    Denial was the hallmark of Barack Obama's two terms as president.
