Joe's going places

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

JOE BIDEN IS PREPARED TO GO TO THE WHITE HOUSE OR PRISON, HE TELLS THESE REPORTERS.

IN AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW, MUST CREDIT BULLY BOY PRESS CEDRIC'S BIG MIXSLEEPY JOE WOKE FROM HIS LONG SLUMBER TO EXPLAIN IT WAS STRAIGHT TO THE WHITE HOUSE . . . OR PRISON.

THESE REPORTERS ASKED JOE HIDIN' BIDEN ABOUT THIS REPORT:


Former Vice President Joe Biden appears to have “personally raised the idea” of investigating Michael Flynn for potentially having violated the obscure Logan Act during his phone calls with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, according to newly filed court papers Wednesday.
The previously sealed document also says that former President Barack Obama told top members of his administration that “the right people” should investigate Flynn.
But then-FBI Director James Comey acknowledged during the meeting — which also involved Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates and possibly national security adviser Susan Rice — that Flynn’s conversations with Kislyak “appear legit,” according to the Washington, DC, federal court filing by Flynn’s defense lawyers.


"SEE, BOYS," JOE EXPLAINED, "I WASN'T JUST CUTTING RIBBONS AT SUPER MARKET OPENINGS FOR 8 YEARS.  I WASN'T.  I WAS PART OF THE DRAMA, PART OF THE ACTION.  IF IT WEREN'T FOR ME, WHO WOULD'VE COME UP WITH THE LOGAN ACT?  IF IT WEREN'T FOR ME, WOULD THE COUNTRY HAVE WASTED NEARLY 4 YEARS ON FALSE CHARGES ABOUT RUSSIA?  I AM A DOER.  I AM A DIDER.  I AM A DIDDLING.  AND NOW IT'S ON TO THE WHITE HOUSE! OR MAYBE PRISON.  BUT I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, JOE BIDEN IS GOING PLACES.  AND YOU CAN TELL AMERICA JOE BIDEN SAID SO!"




This morning Djhword Tweets:

Yes, another problem the prime minister of Iraq should be addressing.  Turkey is in violation of international law and Iraq's sovereignty by bombing Iraq and by sending ground soldiers into Iraq. Seth J. Frantzman (JERUSALEM POST) reports:


There are growing concerns about Turkey’s military operations in northern Iraq, two weeks after Ankara began bombing areas of the country claiming it was “fighting terrorists.”Turkey began operation “Claw-Tiger” on June 17 and it seems to come in the context of Turkey launching new military attacks every month in different countries to distract from failures at home by Ankara’s leading party.
Turkey has had almost a year of near-constant new conflicts and militarist saber-rattling.Last spring and summer it threatened to invade eastern Syria, threatening US troops and the Trump administration in the process. The US tried to appease Turkey by having its anti-ISIS partners on the ground remove obstacles to Turkey’s invasion. It wasn’t enough, in October Turkey told Washington it would begin bombing the region and US troops must move.


That alone was already disturbing.  But now Orhan Coskun (REUTERS) is reporting:

Turkey plans to set up more temporary military bases in northern Iraq after stepping up its strikes against Kurdish militants there, a senior Turkish official told Reuters, saying the effort would ensure border security.
[. . .]
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) said on Wednesday that Turkish and Iranian military interventions violated Iraqi sovereignty. The UAE and Turkey in opposition on several fronts, including in Libya where they back rival sides.  


The spokesperson for the Iraqi military laughably declared weeks ago that ISIS was vanquished.  That's never happened.  ISIS remains active in Iraq and continues to carry out attacks.  It's an issue the prime minister needs to seriously address.  THE NEW DELHI TIMES notes:

The resurgence of the Islamic State can be attributed to a weakened Iraqi government along with an administrative and security vacuum in the country.
The Islamic State (IS) has carried out a series of attacks in recent times which has led security studies analysts to take note of the resurgence of the terrorist and extremist groups in Iraq. According to a May 2020 report by the Combating Terrorism Centre (CTC), there has been a surge in attack activities in the second half of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020.
The number of reported Islamic State attacks increased from 1,470 in 2018 to 1,669 in 2019, with 566 reported attacks in the first quarter of 2020 alone. As per the CTC report, the number  of areas with active attack cells seems to nearly double, from an assessed 27 areas in December 2018 to an assessed 47 areas in May 2020. The IS attacks have taken place in the provinces of Anbar, Baghdad, Diyala, Kirkuk, Ninewa and Salah al-Din. The IS has also plenty of fighters at its disposal.
In May 2020, assessments from the U.S. Central Command, the Defence Intelligence Agency and the U.S.-led coalition, shared in a report by the Defense Department Inspector General, claimed that the IS as a group was still operating mostly on the margins, both in Iraq and Syria and the terror group lacks the capabilities to sustain that pace over several months. However, many security experts contend that the U.S.-led coalition is unable to see key changes on the ground.
The most recent U.S. estimates put the terror group’s force strength in Iraq and Syria at anywhere from 14,000 to 18,000 fighters. Further, despite the U.S. raid that killed former IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in October last year, IS has maintained command and control under new leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurashi.

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.

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?
