What fool tries to pimp Barack as a genius at this late date?

tulsigurus

 

Sunday, Isaiah's THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS  "At Least Satan Wants Her" went up. Tulsi is a hate merchant.


How stupid is Caroline Suh?  In order to pimp the contract work she did for Barack Obama, she's praising him as smart and informed:


“I always knew he was super smart. I guess it kind of crystallized - he’s great at taking very complicated things and making them very clear. He has incredible clarity,” Suh told MovieMaker when asked if she learned anything surprising about him during the making of the docuseries.

“Certain things in the series come from him… like the thing about pop culture, how you used to see a lot of working people on television, and then in the ’80s, you start to only see rich people. Like, that never would have occurred to me. And he has a way of kind of identifying things that you can really grab onto and relate to and making them hit home.”


Oh! Wow! He know Dallas and Dynasty were big in the 80s! During his college years!  

Oh, he's so smart.  Barbara Ehrenreich, Susan Faludi and many others were addressing this reality in real time.  This is not genius level, this is not smart, it's barely coherent.

More garbage and more money wasted by Netflix.


This is  C.I.'s "Iraq snapshot:"


Tuesday, May 16, 2023.  A presidential visit to Australia looms as Australians prepare to turn out for Julian Assange, women and girls in Iraq continue to suffer as needed laws are not addressed, hate merchant Lauren Boebert thinks she can lecture others when she should be hanging her head in shame, and so much more.


May 24th may end up being an important day.  US President Joe Biden is expected to visit Australia.  Australians are expected to let him know what they think of his persecution of Julian Assange.


Julian Assange remains imprisoned and remains persecuted by US President Joe Biden who, as vice president, once called him "a high tech terrorist."  Julian's 'crime' was revealing the realities of Iraq -- Chelsea Manning was a whistle-blower who leaked the information to Julian.  WIKILEAKS then published the Iraq War Logs.  And many outlets used the publication to publish reports of their own.  For example, THE GUARDIAN published many articles based on The Iraq War Logs.  Jonathan Steele, David Leigh and Nick Davies offered, on October 22, 2012:



A grim picture of the US and Britain's legacy in Iraq has been revealed in a massive leak of American military documents that detail torture, summary executions and war crimes.
Almost 400,000 secret US army field reports have been passed to the Guardian and a number of other international media organisations via the whistleblowing website WikiLeaks.

The electronic archive is believed to emanate from the same dissident US army intelligence analyst who earlier this year is alleged to have leaked a smaller tranche of 90,000 logs chronicling bloody encounters and civilian killings in the Afghan war.
The new logs detail how:
US authorities failed to investigate hundreds of reports of abuse, torture, rape and even murder by Iraqi police and soldiers whose conduct appears to be systematic and normally unpunished.

A US helicopter gunship involved in a notorious Baghdad incident had previously killed Iraqi insurgents after they tried to surrender.
More than 15,000 civilians died in previously unknown incidents. US and UK officials have insisted that no official record of civilian casualties exists but the logs record 66,081 non-combatant deaths out of a total of 109,000 fatalities.

The numerous reports of detainee abuse, often supported by medical evidence, describe prisoners shackled, blindfolded and hung by wrists or ankles, and subjected to whipping, punching, kicking or electric shocks. Six reports end with a detainee's apparent deat



The Biden administration has been saying all the right things lately about respecting a free and vigorous press, after four years of relentless media-bashing and legal assaults under Donald Trump.

The attorney general, Merrick Garland, has even put in place expanded protections for journalists this fall, saying that “a free and independent press is vital to the functioning of our democracy”.

But the biggest test of Biden’s commitment remains imprisoned in a jail cell in London, where WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been held since 2019 while facing prosecution in the United States under the Espionage Act, a century-old statute that has never been used before for publishing classified information.

Whether the US justice department continues to pursue the Trump-era charges against the notorious leaker, whose group put out secret information on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Guantánamo Bay, American diplomacy and internal Democratic politics before the 2016 election, will go a long way toward determining whether the current administration intends to make good on its pledges to protect the press.

Now Biden is facing a re-energized push, both inside the United States and overseas, to drop Assange’s protracted prosecution.


Oscar Grenfell (WSWS) reports, "A poll conducted by the Sydney Morning Herald (SMH) last week showed that 79 percent of respondents wanted the Biden administration to end its pursuit of WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange so that he can be free."  The presidential visits are supposed to be about 'optics' and it won't be the needed optics if news footage, over US airwaves, shows a lot of Australians turning out to protest Joe.  Not really what he or his re-election campaign wants but it could be the push -- or part of the  push -- to finally motivate Joe to end the persecution of Julian.   Fabien Scheidler (PRESSENZA) reminds, "Julian Assange has not been charged with any crime in the UK, elsewhere in Europe, or in his native Australia. He is in custody solely because the U.S. is demanding his extradition to face charges under a draconian World War 1 espionage act and imprison him for the rest of his life." Belén Fernández (ALJAZEERA) notes:


Granted, footage of defenceless civilians being picked off at close range like videogame targets by a laughing helicopter crew does little to uphold Americans’ projected role as the “good guys” – a façade that is key in terms of justifying the country’s self-presumed right to wreak international havoc as it pleases.

Had Assange wanted to save his own skin, he could have stuck to the sort of imperial propaganda that functions as mainstream journalism, a field that was itself instrumental in selling the wars on Afghanistan and Iraq to the US public.

Instead, he is incarcerated at Belmarsh prison in southeast London, awaiting extradition to the so-called “land of the free” while serving as a veritable case study in prolonged psychological torture, as documented back in 2019 by the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture.


Bruce Wolpe (SYDNEY MORNING HERALD) addresses a new rumor, "President Biden’s slated visit to Australia for the Quad meeting – although there is now speculation that his deputy Kamala Harris might replace him – has presented a powerful opportunity to further press the case."  The protesters will be there regardless of whether it's Joe or Kamala.  And a large protest against the US administration in Australia won't make for happy headlines regardless of whether Joe's the visitor or Kamala is. 







Iraqi activists are urging the government to pass legislation against gender-based violence, as current regulations are so weak that they allow many men to escape punishment.

The country has been rocked by a string of brutal murders, including the killing last week of a two-month-old girl by her father because of her gender.

Soon after, a woman was killed by her father for refusing to marry the man he had chosen for her.


“Violence against women and children is increasing and this is not a new phenomenon,” Suhalia Al Assam, a women's rights activist and member of the Iraqi Women's League, told The National.

“There are many cases that have not caught the attention of the public and they are crimes that must be stopped.

“The country does not have a specific law to tackle domestic abuse.”

Iraq's criminal code outlaws violence within the family but does not specify consequences for domestic abuse, nor does it stipulate penalties for perpetrators.

“There must be no impunity. We have been demanding this for over a decade and no action has been taken. Hundreds of women have lost their lives to this issue,” Ms Al Assam said.




The death on April 18 of a 20-year-old woman in Najaf, possibly at the hands of her husband, should act as a wake-up call for Iraqi legislators to pass a law against domestic violence, Human Rights Watch said today. Iraqi authorities should investigate and prosecute domestic violence, and ensure appropriate sentences for violence against women.

“Domestic violence has always plagued Iraq,” said Belkis Wille, senior crisis and conflict researcher at Human Rights Watch. “We see case upon case of women and girls dying at the hands of their families, but Iraq's lawmakers have not done enough to save those lives.”

On April 12, a video surfaced on social media of the woman in a hospital with severe burn wounds. Her mother told Human Rights Watch that eight months ago her daughter married a police officer who had only allowed her to visit her parents once since then. On April 8, her mother said, the husband called to tell her that his wife had a “slight burn accident” and was in the hospital.

The mother could hear her daughter screaming. She rushed to the hospital, where the husband’s mother blocked her from seeing her daughter. Police took the young woman’s statement while her mother was blocked from the room, the mother said. On April 11, when she was able to enter the hospital room, her daughter told her that her husband had beaten her so badly on April 8 that she poured gasoline on herself and warned him that unless he stopped, she would light herself on fire.

“I still don’t know if he lit her on fire or she did it herself, but she told me she burned for three minutes while he just watched, and finally his father, also a policeman, came in and put out the fire,” the mother said. “She begged them to take her to the hospital but they waited for over an hour before doing so. Her father-in-law then pretended to the police that he was her father and said to them the fire had been an accident.”

The young woman died on April 18. Najaf’s governor, Loai al-Yasiri, told Human Rights Watch on April 15 that the authorities had established an investigation committee and arrested the husband, father-in-law, and the husband’s uncle. Al-Yasiri said that this case would likely be resolved through a mediation in which the husband’ family’s ashira (clan) would negotiate with Samira’s family’s ashira to reach a non-judicial settlement.

Domestic violence remains a serious problem in Iraq. The Iraq Family Health Survey (IFHS) of 2006/7 found that one in five Iraqi women are subject to physical domestic violence. A 2012 Planning Ministry study found that at least 36 percent of married women reported experiencing some form of psychological abuse from their husbands, 23 percent verbal abuse, 6 percent physical violence, and 9 percent sexual violence.



In 2021, ALJAZEERA filed the report below.




Yesterday's snapshot noted   Ali Mamouri (AL-MONITOR) reported:


Following a series of confrontations, it seems an open war has broken out between the Catholic Caledonian Church and the Christian political party and militia of Babylon Movement.

In mid-April, an Iraqi court issued a summons for Cardinal Louis Sako, patriarch and archbishop of Baghdad, in response to an accusation by an Iraqi businessman affiliated with the Babylon Movement over a property belonging to the church.

On April 29, Rayan al-Kaldani, secretary-general of the Babylon Movement, accused Sako of interfering in politics and damaging the reputation of the church.

In response, Sako held a lengthy video conference May 7, threatening to internationalize the Christian issue if the Iraqi government failed to take action against Kaldani. 

The Babylon Movement was founded in 2014 as a paramilitary group of Christians who fought against the Islamic State (IS). It was later integrated into the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) under the name of the 50th Brigade.

The movement has been implicated in illegal land seizures in Ninevah province and Baghdad, as well as several other corruption cases, particularly in the Ministry of Immigration that has been under their control since 2020.

Babylon was accused of multiple human rights violations during its fight against IS, which eventually led the United States to impose sanctions on Kaldani in 2019.





More than two hundred Christians gathered in Tahrir Square, in the center of Baghdad, on the evening of Friday May 12, to show their solidarity with Cardinal Louis Raphaël Sako, Patriarch of the Chaldean Church, who became the subject of smear campaigns on social media in recent weeks. The "solidarity demonstration", also included nuns and priests who, like the others present, waved Iraqi flags, candles, olive branches and banners bearing inscriptions calling on the authorities to intervene to ensure that the electoral seats reserved for Christians in the Iraqi parliament are not in fact occupied by groups linked to the main parties.




 


Eleven different European countries, together with the European Union, released a statement on Sunday evening affirming their support for Iraq’s Patriarch Louis Raphaël Sako. 

The Patriarch – who heads the country's Chaldean Church, and was made a Cardinal by Pope Francis in 2018 – is facing criticism over comments concerning political representation for Iraq’s ancient Christian minority.

Sunday’s statement expressed the European governments’ “solidarity” with Patriarch Sako, and stressed the importance of his “efforts to protect the rights of Christians on the soil that they have inhabited for two millennia.” 


 Turning to the US and hate merchants, Lauren Bobert declared on Mother's Day:



“So many try to erase the impact of moms these days – calling us ‘birthing people’ and ‘people with uteruses’ – but we know the truth.”
 

Sad for Lauren, we do know the truth.  We know the truth that she was sexually active in high school with guys who didn't care about her and she ended up pregnant, unmarried and had to drop out of high school.  Instead of learning from this and educating her own children, she raised a son who got an underage girl pregnant repeating the cycle.  
 
Again, we do know the truth.  That truth is Lauren Boebert may have competition for stupidest member of Congress; however, she is the trashiest.  That's how she ends up married to a man who exposes himself to girls at a bowling alley and ends up on probation.

Trash.  

 

And we'd leave it at that; however, she didn't just fail to teach her child the facts of life, Bible-thumper forgot to teach him Hebrews 13:4: 


Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.


Lauren, you've got no high horse to ride.  The only event you're racing is is the sewer derby.  I'm sure you'll do quite well.

Tara Shamoo Reade reTweets assaulter James Woods

 

tulsisatan2

 

That's Isaiah's THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS "Tulsi Talks To Her Guru" from Sunday.


You have to wonder how Tulsi continues to live and face herself in the mirror with so much hate inside her.


Every time I think fat ass Tara Reade can't get worse, she proves me wrong.  Apparently having polished off several quarts of ice cream, Shamoo decided to Tweet and she offered this:


Our veterans suffer, our mentally ill are ignored, our homeless are vulnerable, but our politicians are fat and happy. Oh yeah, and billions and billions and billions of our tax dollars disappear into that black hole, Ukraine, with no end in sight. Have a nice weekend.




Fatty's reTweeting James Woods?  

Seriously?


This James Woods:


In 1988, Woods sued actress Sean Young for $2 million, accusing her of stalking him after they appeared together in the film The Boost.[57] Young later countered that Woods had overreacted when she had spurned his on-set advances.[58] The suit was settled out of court in August 1989,[59][60] including a payment of $227,000 to Young to cover her legal costs.[61]


In 2017, a Twitter debate between Woods and Amber Tamblyn escalated after Tamblyn accused Woods of once preying on her when she was underage, which Woods dismissed as a lie.[86]



Tara is just a fat piece of trash who needs attention.  She does nothing to help other women and she has all these comments from Trump supporters.  She doesn't call them out, she just agrees with them.  So all of Donald Trump's attacks on women over the years don't matter.

In Tara's fat head, the only one who matters is Tara.  I guess that's how she lives with herself after ripping off one friend after another.  Remember boys and girls, Fatty Tara Reade is the one who put the "ME!" in MeToo.  Actually, she put the "Me! Me! Me!" in MeToo.



This is C.I.'s "Iraq snapshot:" 


Monday, May 15, 2023.  Crooked Clarence Thomas may bring the whole corrupt system down with him, Moqtada al-Sadr says no to an events, a split among Christians in Iraq, and much more.


Starting in the US with Crooked Clarence Thomas who sits on the illegitimate Supreme Court.  

+ The Trump-appointed Judge James Ho, who has previously written that abortion is 

“immoral, tragic, and violent,” will hear the mifepristone case on May 17. In January 

2018 Ho was sworn by Justice Clarence Thomas in his benefactor Harlan Crow’s private

library.

Photo: Ted Cruz.

+ There are two senate committees looking into, rather passively to be sure, Harlan Crow’s financial gifts to Clarence Thomas. Crow’s given money to each of the Republican senators 

on both committees to the tune of $429,000 to Republicans on the Judiciary Committee 

and $239,140 to Republicans on the Finance Committee.




Supreme Court decisions impact every facet of American life. Because of this, justices must be held to the highest ethical standards. When Americans see news like this about Clarence Thomas—or anything other justice—the Court demonstrates that it cannot hold itself accountable and it doesn’t take its responsibilities seriously.

A Court with no legitimacy only hurts the American people. It’s time for Congress to pass a Supreme Court code of ethics to bring legitimacy back to the court.    


To the editors of THE MODESTO BEE, Christopher C. Doll writes:


Last year, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito complained that “saying or implying that the court is becoming an illegitimate institution or questioning our integrity crosses an important line.” At the time, his comments lacked any semblance of self-awareness, and only look worse in hindsight. In reality, a line is crossed when court rulings ignore stare decisis (precedent), are blatantly partisan, reek of specious argumentation and treat women as second-class citizens.

And the continued presence of Clarence Thomas is proof that the court lacks integrity. Thomas is one of two justices to have been credibly accused of sexual assault. He failed to recuse himself from cases involving the Big Lie even though his spouse is an insurrectionist. And he has repeatedly violated ethics by failing to report lavish gifts from a billionaire with an agenda. Chief Justice John Roberts said he isn’t planning to investigate Thomas. Astonishingly, unlike the lower courts, the Supreme Court has no official code of ethics.


The reputation of the Supreme Court was already in the gutter and it's only getting worse due to Crooked Clarence.  He is rotting on the inside and destroying whatever's left of the Court's integrity.  As Jonathan Turley obsesses over DISNEY and gun rights and attacks education (which isn't going over well with the institutions he teaches at but does keep FOX "NEWS" sticking ones in his g-string), try not to notice that supposed legal expert Swirley Turley -- Swirley Turd to his students -- remains silent.  Like others in the Republican Party, Turley thinks he can just stick his head in the sand and no one will notice.  He thinks he can wait this scandal out.  I don't think it can be waited out.  The outrage is only growing.


Should Thomas resign or face impeachment? Absolutely!

That assumes, however, a different political climate, certainly not the one in which we’re currently embroiled. Throughout his tenure on the court, Thomas is known famously for his silence during oral arguments. But when it comes to his financial relationship with Crow, Thomas vociferously holds up his middle finger to the institution that employs him.

There is no question, in my view, that Thomas’ infractions trump those of former Justice Abe Fortas, who was forced to resign from the court in 1969. But the circumstances differ greatly. We should dismiss the canard that Fortas did the “honorable” thing by resigning. Fortas resigned only after it was clear the “honorable” thing was his only option.

The Supreme Court, under the leadership of Chief Justice Earl Warren, was a different institution than today under Chief Justice John Roberts. With a 6-3 conservative majority, Roberts is more of a cat herder than an effective leader of the third branch of government.

Moreover, there were individuals serving in Congress, circa 1969, regardless of party, who refused to allow their partisan sensibilities to serve as the final arbiter. Today’s political landscape bears little resemblance to that grand commitment.

The current 6-3 conservative majority is the result of political hypocrisy fortified by an ends-justifying-the-means rationale. There’s no doubt the Republican-led House would already be holding impeachment hearings if Thomas’ infractions were conducted by one of the liberal members of the court.



But we don’t know the full extent of Crow’s gifts to Thomas, of course, because Thomas and Crow refuse to say. On April 24, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden wrote to Crow asking him to detail all his gifts to Thomas (the letter notes, for example, that the market value of island-hopping on a yacht like Crow’s is $245,000 a week). More recently, the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee made a similar request.

The requests have been greeted as you’d expect. Thomas says these gifts were “personal hospitality,” not business, and thus didn’t have to be reported. Crow responded to Wyden’s letter with a letter of his own, or more specifically from his lawyer, arguing in essence that Congress has no legitimate legislative purpose in exposing Crow’s gifts to Thomas and is constrained by separation of powers issues.

Sheldon Whitehouse of the Judiciary Committee has pursued a complementary angle. He asked the Judicial Conference, the policymaking body for federal courts, to reveal how it handled an inquiry into Ginni Thomas’s income in 2011. He, too, has received no answer yet.

Wyden and Whitehouse mean business. Whitehouse has been the Democrats’ point person in the Senate for years on these ethics matters. But of the two, Wyden spells more potential trouble for Thomas and Crow because as chairman of one of Congress’s tax-writing committees, he has what’s called 6103 authority: the power to ask for any citizen’s tax returns at any time for any reason (actually, under the relevant law, he wouldn’t even have to give a reason). Richard Neal, the Democratic chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee until the GOP retook the House this year, used this same law to get several years of Trump’s returns). In 2021, the Supreme Court ordered the IRS to give Neal’s committee Trump’s returns.

In other words, if the Supreme Court says that even the president’s tax returns can be sent to Congress, surely that means that anyone’s can be. Even if that person sits on the very Supreme Court that will be passing judgment. 


Clarence Thomas is corrupt.  He's turned a robe into a printing press for currency and, no, he would never have confirmed if he had told the Senate, "I intent to take my salary from the American tax payer as well as 'contributions' from any big moneyed person that offers it.  I intend to make clear that the Court is for sale."  

A lot of people in this country would believe that nearly $200,000 a year was more than enough to live on.  That a public servant doesn't goes to that fact that he's not serving the public, he's whoring the Court for his own personal gain.

That's what he's done, he's turned the Supreme Court into a whore house.  It has no legitimacy at all.


And the longer he sits on the bench, the more damage he inflicts on others.  Kenny Stancil (COMMON DREAMS) notes some embarrassing realities that might never have been known if Crooked Clarence had stepped down back in April:

The Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday sent a letter asking Harlan Crow—the billionaire GOP megadonor who has secretly showered U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas with hundreds of thousands of dollars in gifts since the mid-1990s—to provide a full accounting of his financial ties to Thomas and any other judges on the high court.

It comes as "no surprise" that none of the panel's nine Republicans signed the letter, Accountable.US declared Tuesday, because they have collectively accepted nearly half a million dollars in campaign cash from Crow since the turn of the century, as a new analysis from the watchdog group shows.

Last month, one day after ProPublica published its bombshell report on Crow's under-the-table funding of near-annual luxury vacations for Thomas—the first of what would become many revelations about the two men's financial relationship—Accountable.US calculated that the current Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee received $453,300 from Crow between 2001 and 2022. The group revised that figure up to $457,000 on Tuesday in light of a $3,700 donation Crow made to Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) earlier this year.

The following is a list of Crow's total contributions to the nine GOP lawmakers on the panel as well as their affiliated PACs and joint fundraising committees, in descending order:

  • Cornyn: $294,800
  • Sen. Chuck Grassley (Iowa): $46,600
  • Sen. Tom Cotton (Ark.): $23,900
  • Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas): $23,500
  • Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.): $20,600
  • Sen. Mike Lee (Utah): $19,500
  • Sen. Thom Tillis (N.C.): $13,400
  • Sen. John Kennedy (La.): $8,300
  • Sen. Marsha Blackburn (Tenn.): $6,400

"There should be bipartisan outrage about the undisclosed gifts and travel billionaire megadonor Harlan Crow has given Justice Thomas," Accountable.US president Kyle Herrig said last month. "Senate Judiciary Republicans should join their Democratic colleagues to act. However, their silence so far may be because they have received hundreds of thousands of dollars from Crow as well."

"The highest court in the land should have the highest ethical standards," he added. "When it doesn't, Congress should exert its oversight authority."


Crooked Clarence, by refusing to do the right and honorable thing, is exposing how rotten to the core the whole system is.  You have to wonder how much longer this will go on before the system does a re-correct and sends Clarence packing?

Turning from a robe garbed embarrassment in the US to one in Iraq, Chenar Chalik (RUDAW) reports:


Muqtada al-Sadr on Sunday canceled all ceremonies scheduled to honor the memory of his father, Muhamed Sadiq al-Sadr, on the anniversary of his assassination, saying he was punishing the followers that have claimed him to be a long-foretold messianic figure.

In April, a group of Sadrist followers known by the name “People of the Cause” were spreading a theory that Imam al-Mahdi would appear at the Kufa Mosque, coinciding with Sadr’s decision to attend a religious retreat at the mosque. They claimed that Sadr would be the promised one.

Protesting their claims, Sadr announced he was freezing the activities of his Sadrist Movement for a year and deactivating his Twitter account indefinitely.

“I want nothing else than to exonerate myself and loyalists from the actions of the outliers and the corrupt and those with perverted convictions, of those who claim I am Imam al-Mahdi,” said Sadr in a voice message published on Twitter on Sunday.
