P!nk thinks it's still 2000 and that people still listen to her

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

P!NK?  SHE'S KIND OF TRASHY AND THE LOOKS ARE GONE BUT WE STILL LIKE HER -- "JUST LIKE A PILL" WAS A GREAT SONG -- TOO BAD IT WAS HER LAST GREAT SONG AND IT'S NEARLY TWO DECADES OLD.

LIFE HASN'T BEEN GOOD FOR P!NK CAREER WISE.  IN FACT, YOU HAVE TO GO BACK TEN SINGLES AND FOR YEARS TO FIND A HIT SINGLE FOR PINK ("JUST LIKE FIRE" WHICH REACHED NUMBER TEN).

SHE RELEASED HER LAST ALBUM IN 2019 AND IT SOLD . . . 95,000 COPIES IN THE U.S. THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS TO POP MUSIC FEMALES AS THEY AGE, THE AUDIENCE GROWS BORED WITH THEM.

SHE'S IN THE NEWS RIGHT NOW FOR LAUGHING THAT SHE SOLD OUT THE TULSA, O.K. VENUE DONALD TRUMP WAS AT ON SATURDAY.  DONALD DIDN'T FILL THE VENUE.  PINK WANTS YOU TO KNOW THAT SHE DID.  BACK IN 2018.  WHEN SHE STILL HAD SOMEWHAT OF A CAREER.  SHE WAS COMING OFF HER 2017 ALBUM WHICH MANAGED TO SELL OVER 600,000 COPIES -- AGAIN, SHE STILL HAD A CAREER THEN.  ALSO TRUE, THE EVENT WASN'T ABOUT HER -- THOUGH SHE TENDS TO FORGET THAT.  SHE WAS ONE OF TEN CONCERTS -- THEY CALLED IN "10 ON 10" -- THAT WERE CELEBRATING THE TULSA VENUES TENTH ANNIVERSARY.   WHEN SHE RETURNED, MONTHS LATER, FOR A SECOND SHOW, SHE DID NOT SELL OUT THE VENUE.

WHY DOES IT MATTER?

SHE MADE IT MATTER WITH HER STUPID TWEET -- SHE REALLY IS THE GUTTER TRASH WITHOUT AN EDUCATION.

DONALD TRUMP SHOULD NOT BE HOLDING RALLIES.  WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF A PANDEMIC.  INSTEAD OF PULLING OUT HER SCRAPBOOKS AND ACTING LIKE NORMA DESMOND, SHE SHOULD BE CALLING OUT DONALD FOR PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES AT RISK.

P!NK, YOU HAD A GREAT CAREER, NEARLY 20 YEARS AGO.  NOW TAKE YOUR HAGGERED AND SAGGY MIND OFF THE MAINSTAGE, YOU'RE DONE.




Where are the jobs?  In the global economy, that's a question for everyone but it's especially a question in Iraq where you graduate from a university only to find . . . no jobs.  This is one of the realities that put protesters in the street last fall.  

Months later -- three months shy of a year -- nothing has been done.

And now the economy is in ever more jeopardy.  AFP reports:

Iraq's economy could reach irreversible lows within the next year unless urgent reform measures are adopted, its finance minister warned in an exclusive interview with AFP on Monday.
"Reform is inevitable," said Ali Allawi, who has been tasked with stabilising Iraq's economy following an oil price crash that saw state revenues slashed by half.
"If we do not amend the situation throughout the next year, we may face shocks we cannot fix." 


Iraq's economy is projected to shrink by 10% in 2020 following a dramatic drop in oil prices from over $50 per barrel to about $20.
Opec's second-biggest oil producer relies almost exclusively on its crude exports to fund its budget, which includes a bloated public sector and broad state subsidies.

We'll note this thread.  Noor is a doctor who graduated last year:

when every nation and government salute their white army, we see the Iraqi government deprives the right of the newly graduated doctors! A year has passed without employment! And instead of supporting them, the government has asked them to volunteer! @leloveluck @SimonaFoltyn



Meanwhile, more than 2000 newly trained medics have been asked to volunteer their services until a state budget is approved for their labour. This at a time when infections among frontline doctors are rising fast.


So what can we do ?we are prisoners in our country we are doctors without jobs and documents We can not work out side Iraq because we don’t have documents and we can’t work in Iraq because the government can not hire us due to the financial problems


And the protest over the lack of jobs continues.  NRT Tweets:

Protesters briefly block major road in Sulaimani to demand KRG pay salaries, create job opportunities Security forces fire tear gas to disperse demonstrators nrttv.com/En/News.aspx?i

The lack of jobs is only one of the many problems facing Iraq currently.  Among other problems?  Turkey is terrorizing the people of Iraq in the north.  They are bombing Iraq, they have sent soldiers on the ground into Iraq.

12 years later and they still fool themselves that he is the Christ-child

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


CRIMINALLY INSANE JOY REID TWEETED THE FOLLOWING:

The compassion and decency are surely missed!

Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize and then dropped 100,000 bombs on 8 different countries, murdering and displacing millions of men, women and children... Where is all this “compassion and decency” you speak of? #ObamaDay






today and every day we give thanks for the birth of the President ... Barack Obama. Happy #ObamaDayUSA

AGAIN, IT'S ST. BARACK THE BIG SISSY -- NOT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.  KNOW THE DIFFERENCE, CHRISTINE, KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.



Is reporting that hard?  Or is lying just that easy?

Invades. 

That's the accurate term.  As in: Turkey invades Iraq.

If Mexico sent troops into California or Texas today, the US press would be saying, "Mexico Invades US."


Its ten paragraphs into the DW report before you come across this:


The government of Iraq summoned the Turkish ambassador on Tuesday to protest the initial aerial offensive. Baghdad called the airstrikes a violation of its sovereignty and said it broke international law.

AP waits until its tenth paragraph to note Iraqi objection:
Iraq's government however, summoned the Turkish ambassador on Tuesday to protest against the aerial offensive.
AP can't be bothered with noting issues like sovereignty or international law.


The Turkish government calls it Operation Claw-Eagle, the world should be calling it what it is: terrorism.  And it continues daily including today.  This morning, THE JERUSALEM POST notes:



Turkish aircraft and Iranian artillery targeted the town of Haji Omeran in the Erbil Governorate of Iraq on Tuesday, according to Sky News Arabia.
Haji Omeran is located along the Iran-Iraq border in northeastern Iraq.
The district mayor of Haji Omeran, Farzang Ahmed, told Rudaw that Iranian artillery has targeted Iranian Kurdish opposition groups in the area before, but that Turkish strikes on the area were unheard of.
"We suspect that the two sides are in coordination, because this is the first time that Turkey has bombed this region," said Ahmed to Rudaw. "This region is frequently and every year under Iran's shelling, on the grounds that they are targeting Kurdish opposition parties."


This is terrorism.  The US government remains silent.  The world remains silent.  Day after day, year after year, Turkey violates Iraq's sovereignty and terrorizes people who live in northern Iraq.  Hiwa Shilani (KURDISTAN 24) reports:

The Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday announced that it had summoned the ambassador of Turkey in Iraq and handed him a complaint memo condemning the violation of Iraqi sovereignty and its airspace after recent Turkish airstrikes in the Kurdistan Region.
A statement from the foreign ministry announced that Iraq had “summoned” Turkish Ambassador Fatih Yildiz “against the backdrop of the Turkish bombing that affected a number of regions in northern Iraq, causing terror to the population, and spreading panic among them.”
“Ambassador Abdul Karim Hashim met the Turkish ambassador and delivered him a protest note, which included the Iraqi government’s condemnation of violations of the sanctity, sovereignty, and Iraqi airspace.”

The Arab Parliament -- the legislative arm of the Arab League -- on Tuesday denounced Turkey’s recent raids in Iraq, calling on Ankara to respect the sovereignty of its neighbor and put an end to its unilateral military operations there. 

Arab Parliament Speaker Meshaal bin Fahim al-Salami said in a statement that “these actions are an infringement on the sovereignty of Iraq, a flagrant violation of the Charter of the United Nations, international law and international norms, and in violation of Security Council resolutions.”
The statement also voiced support for Iraq’s stance against Turkey’s moves.
Iraqi lawmakers also reacted to the latest developments, condemning Ankara’s operations in a statement and calling on the Baghdad government to take action to protect civilians and stop Turkish violations of the country’s sovereignty.

I'm confused here, is the Arab League a non-entity to AP, DW and other outlets?

Joe Biden, self-appointed racial expert

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


REACHED FOR COMMENT BY THESE REPORTERS, JOE YELLED, "HUH? SO WHAT!  I SAID I DIDN'T WANT MY KIDS TO GROW UP IN A RACIAL JUNGLE WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I'D WANT THOSE PEOPLE ON MY CAMPAIGN! AND YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT.  IF YOU SAY I'M WRONG, YOU AIN'T BLACK!"

WHEN THESE TWO REPORTERS POINTED OUT THAT ONE OF US IS NOT BLACK, JOE REPLIED, "WHY! WHY! WHY!  DIDN'T I JUST SAY THAT?  YOU AIN'T BLACK!"


That's in England.  Are we so deluded we don't see similar actions in the US?  Corbyn?  Bernie Sanders was his stand-in here in the United States.  Bernie watched as his campaign was circumvented by the media (overtly) and by Barack Obama and others behind the scenes.

Instead of standing up for the values he espoused while running, he now offers meek little criticisms while telling everyone to rally around War Hawk Joe Biden.

There was a movement behind Bernie Sanders.  How very sad that he betrayed.  Even more sad, only Jimmy Dore appears to be comfortable telling that truth.

John Stauber offers:

I am hoping that Crazy Joe picks ⁦
 ⁩ for VP! All the despicable #WeaponsOfMassDeception gang on one ticket!

It's very telling who Joe Biden's constituency is.  Neocons like Bill Kristol. Liars like David Frum. Trash like War Criminal Colin Powell.  Collie lied to the United Nations in order to help start the Iraq War.  (See Ava and my "TV Review: Barbara and Colin remake The Way We Were.")  He was part of a team of liars that also included Dick Cheney, Condi Rice, John Bolton and Bully Boy Bush among others.  He's gone on to lie about his lies.  And yet today he wanted to whine about Donald Trump lying.  Sarah Abdallah observes:

Colin Powell, who lied to the entire world about WMDs in Iraq, paving the way for an illegal war that killed and displaced millions of innocents, gave rise to ISIS, and destabilized the Middle East, is actually out here today lecturing us about lies.


Why did CNN put that piece of trash on to begin with?  He's a known liar.  He's never helped anyone but himself.  He lied about Vietnam, he lied his whole life.  His hands are soaked in blood.  He's never apologized for that.  Jeffrey St. Clair points out:

Now that Powell is back in the news & being feted for his courage in calling Trump a liar, it might seem rude to remind liberals that Powell whitewashed the My Lai massacre, a service to the Empire that helped launch the upward trajectory of his career...

He's also the person who refused to allow openly gay people to serve in the military.  That was what Bill Clinton had promised voters while he campaigned in 1992.  Colin wasn't having it.  That's why Bill proposed Don't Ask, Don't Tell.  In 2010, he was finally for repealing it.  He has never been forced to apologize, nor has he ever faced serious questions about his homophobia.  

Jake Tapper brought him on CNN Sunday as 'wise' Colin Powell, everybody's friend.  Jake did everything but shove his hand down the front of Colin's pants and give the liar a happy ending.  Jake should be ashamed of himself and so should CNN.  


Colin Powell’s lies led to the murder of millions in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East. Colin Powell has as much blood on his hands as George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. Colin Powell is not a paragon of morality. Colin Powell is a war criminal.


We have endless wars today and not only are we not, as a country, trying to end them, we're now enshrining the crooks responsible for them.

Why?

To prepare for a Biden presidency.
