It's time to talk again of Senator Tommy Tuberville. You
know, the liar who has permanent residence in Florida but ran for the
US Senate from the state of Alabama? He's been blocking all military
nominations and promotions -- leaving the country at risk. What's the
reason for his petty tantrum? He doesn't like that women in the
military can get abortions. Some might point out that it's really not
his business. Others might point out that 'coach' never served in the
US military. But while risking national security, Tommy is enriching his own pockets:
Sen.
Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) recently purchased up to $250,000 worth of
stock in telecommunications technology company Qualcomm Inc., a federal defense contractor, while serving on the U.S. Senate Committee on Armed Services and actively blocking hundreds of military nominations and promotions, new congressional financial disclosures indicate.
Qualcomm
and its subsidiaries have been the recipient of several dozen defense
and homeland security contracts during the past two decades, according
to federal contracting records reviewed by Raw Story.
Among these is a Department of the Army contract with
Qualcomm Intelligent Solutions, worth nearly $11.7 million with the
possibility of growing to $30.4 million, related to a government program
exploring "innovative, energy-efficient, and reliable computer
architectures that can address the intelligence community’s large-scale
data-analytic applications."
The Senate Armed Services Committee on which Tuberville sits has jurisdiction over "military research and development," among a host of other responsibilities.
Crook.
Speaking of the Senate, Marjorie Taylor Greene's in the news. Salon reports:
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., has denounced a recent decision by
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to relax the Senate's
informal dress code, allowing lawmakers to wear whatever they wish on
the House floor.
"Senators
are able to choose what they wear on the Senate floor. I will continue
to wear a suit," Schumer told The Hill. The Hill also noted that "the
informal rule change reflects the trend in the broader economy,
particularly in the tech sector, toward more casual attire in the
workplace."
Whatever you say, Cruella.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who served definite villain energy in a
white fur coat at last year’s State of the Union, has some thoughts
about the U.S. Senate saying sayonara to its dress code. Greene blamed
the news—that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has quietly given the order to
let senators wear what they like on the floor—on Sen. John Fetterman,
the Pennsylvania Democrat known for rocking a hoodie and gym shorts
around the halls of the Capitol. “The Senate no longer enforcing a dress
code for Senators to appease Fetterman is disgraceful,” she wrote.
“Dress code is one of society’s standards that set etiquette and respect
for our institutions. Stop lowering the bar!”
Meanwhile
Crazy Marje wants to condemn what took place in a fictional skit. She
didn't realize that it was a skit. Dumb dumb thought it was real. Rolling Stone reports:
“GOD
BLESS THIS MAMA!!!!!” Greene wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
“I stand with her!!! Teachers are paid by taxpayers – the PARENTS!!! Get
the LGBTQ propaganda out of the schools!”
The
video Greene shared depicted a woman walking into a classroom of
students and tearing a Pride flag off the wall before throwing it in the
trash. The woman, who is presented as the mother of one of the students
in the room, then berates the teacher for wasting her tax dollars on
LGBTQ representation and teaching her son things she’s trying to “keep
them away from.”
None
of this actually happened, though. The clip was a small part of a
six-minute “comedy” sketch posted Saturday on Facebook by a content
creator known as “Jibrizy.” In the last 20 seconds of the full video,
Jibrizy and the cast of the sketch appear in front of the camera and
disclose that the video is fake. “Hey guys, this was all a skit,”
Jibrizy says, asking the audience for their opinion on the situation.
“Comment down below, we can’t wait to read your comments.”
Here's C.I.'s "Iraq snapshot:"
Monday, September 18, 2023. A woman returns from Iraq to Bahrain and is
arrested, a delegation from Iraq is in the US for a UN meet-up, THE
VANGUARD can't stop lying -- most recently claiming a man got married at
the age of 15 (he was at least 29), a Seattle cop and his Guild advisor
crack jokes about a woman the police officer just ran over and killed,
hate merchant Lauren Boebert took time off from attacking LGBTQ+ people
to go out on a date (before the divorce is final) in public while her
date repeatedly grabbed her breasts in front of people and she kept
massaging his crotch while people were all around them, and much more.
According to a report by the Iraqi
al-Ghadeer TV television network, the activist, identified as Sheikha
al-Majid, was detained following her return from the holy Iraqi city of
Karbala to the Bahraini capital of Manama.
She was charged with “sectarianism” due
to broadcasting live images while standing in the vicinity of the shrine
of Imam Hussein (AS), the report added.
Al-Ghadeer TV noted that Bahraini
opposition groups and human rights organizations have condemned Majid’s
arrest and demanded her immediate release.
Meanwhile, Karim Alivi al-Mohammadavi, a
member of the Foreign Relations Commission of the Iraqi Parliament,
denounced Majid’s arrest as a direct assault by Bahrain’s ruling Al
Khalifa dynasty on Shia Muslims.
Mohammadavi said the move conveys the
message that the Manama regime does not seek civil peace and spares no
effort to create internal chaos and division in any way.
The Iraqi legislator slammed the move as
“irresponsible,” calling upon Bahraini authorities to reconsider the
Shia activist’s detention and put an end to all heavy-handed measures
against members of the majority religious community.
Okay before we go further . . . A column has been e-mailed into the public e-mail (
common_ills@yahoo.com)
by three different people -- plus the author itself. As I replied in a
dictated e-mail to the author last Thursday, I'm not interested.
It's
a so-so column on a serious issue. I'm not interested. You're over
the age of 70 and that's old enough to come out of the closet. Your
parents have both passed away. You should be out of the closet. The
'alternative' media has allowed you to be closeted this whole time. I'm
not interested in that lie. I'm also aware that you have never written
on LGBTQ+ issues -- that's how deep in the closet you are. In the 90s,
I met you and knew the minute we met that you were gay. I asked _____
who published your work, "He's out right -- at least to people he
knows?" No. And you're over 70 -- you are well over 70 now -- I'm not
interested in your 'truth.'
I have no idea
who you think is being helped by you pretending to be straight but I've
lost the ability to care about you or whatever topic you want to
half-ass write about this month. So not interested. So not
interested.
The LGBTQ+ community is under
attack. I don't know how you can hide in the closet during these
attacks. So, no, I'm not interested in your bad writing.
Something
else I'm avoiding? The new Russell Brand controversy. I don't like
Russell. I don't like Katy Perry. I didn't like them as a couple when
they dashed over to meet me. Anything I'd write about Russell's current
scandal would probably fall under "malice" on my part. So I have
nothing to say. Except maybe, Katy, your battle with that veteran over
the house will not end good for you. You've been lucky that there have
been so many celebrity scandals and that you are so untalented and
unwanted that people aren't really paying attention to you. But you
need to settle that for your own future.
When
Joni made Alanis cry, I didn't understand it. Then one day Russell and
Katy came up to me (which means it was a long while ago because they've
been divorced for some time) and started gushing, I got it. Some people
you just don't want in your fan base.
I was
asked about THE VANGUARD. I actually did catch some of their crap
yesterday. "Once you know what you know about Woody Allen," the always
laughable Zac wanted to say. What is that? What do you think you
know? That despite Dylan's claims of being molested, the only two
investigations found that she wasn't? That Dylan could have done a
civil suit on Woody long ago but doesn't want to make claims in court?
That Moses and Soon-Yi refute Dylan's claims?
I'm not really sure what you think you know.
Then
you wanted to pull in Luc Besson. What do you think you know there?
The rape charges? The ones that were dismissed twice in court and the
ones he was then cleared of? I don't understand what you think you know
beyond whispers.
But I don't understand what
you think you know period. You two do sit in front of computers,
right? While you're doing your awful podcast? So you can actually take a
moment to fact check?
THE VANGUARD doesn't just act like they believe that they're immune to fact checks, they act like they're allergic to them.
Even
their president Macron was like 15 when he married his wife, who was
his teacher, who was like in her 30s at the time and they're all like
'what a beautiful romantic story' and completely ignoring the
inappropriate clear grooming that occured in that dynamic.
That's from the idiot Gavin.
There
was no reason for them to discuss Macron. Nor was there reason to do a
bad French accent. But there they are doing another fact-free
podcast.
In 2021, the age of consent became 15
in France. Prior to that? It really didn't exist. If you could prove
coercion in the sex involved between a teenager and an adult, you could
prosecute for rape but otherwise no. Their age of consent is 15 now.
Even if you want to go back to when Macron had his affair and impose the
2021 law, the relationship was still legal.
You don't like it? Then don't go to France and have a relationship with a teenager. But stop your damn lying.
Macron is married to Brigitte Trogneux,[477] 24 years his senior,[478] and his former La Providence high school teacher in Amiens.[479][480] They
met during a theatre workshop that she was giving when he was a
15-year-old student and she was a 39-year-old teacher, but they only
became a couple once he was 18.[481][482] His
parents initially attempted to separate the couple by sending him away
to Paris to finish the final year of his schooling, as they felt his youth made this relationship inappropriate.[14][482] However, the couple reunited after Macron graduated, and were married in 2007.[482] She has three children from a previous marriage; he has no children of his own.[483][unreliable source?] Trogneux's
role in Macron's 2017 presidential campaign has been considered
pivotal, with close Macron allies stating that Trogneux helped Macron to
develop skills like public speaking.[484]
Emmanuel
was 29 or 30 when they were married. Not 15. But, hey, just make up
whatever s**t you want, just keep doing that and see how many more
people walk away from your bad program.
Macron
has many policies and actions to slam. Sixteen years married to the
same partner? I don't really think that falls under something to be
slammed for. Or, for that matter, something to lie about.
While THE VANGUARD was making up s**t and broadcasting it as truth,
Dan Conway (WSWS) reported on something real and actually disgusting:
On Tuesday, body camera footage taken by Seattle Police Officer Daniel
Auderer was released to the public as a result of an internal department
investigation. Auderer, also vice president of the Seattle Police
Officers Guild, inadvertently took the footage in response to a January
23 incident involving fellow officer Kevin Dave, who struck and killed
23-year-old Jaahnavi Kandula in the middle of a crosswalk in Seattle,
Washington.
Dave had been responding to a drug overdose call when he barreled
through the intersection at 74 miles (119 kilometers) per hour in a 25
mile per hour zone, killing Kandula, a graduate student in Information
Sciences at Northeastern University in Seattle. In addition to her
schoolwork, Kandula had also been working part time to help support her
mother in Andhra Pradesh in India.
A statement from the family
read, “Jaahnavi’s tragic and untimely death has left her family and
community with a huge hole in their hearts that will never be repaired.
In spite of earning less than $200 per month, her mother educated
Jaahnavi and encouraged her to travel to the United States hoping
Jaahnavi would have a better future and better life abroad.”
Dave,
35, is a former US Marine hired by the Seattle Police Department as
part of a mass hiring initiative in 2019. The officer, while having no
significant disciplinary history with the SPD prior to the January
incident, did have a previous Arizona driver’s license suspended in 2018
for unpaid traffic tickets and failure to appear in court. Dave’s
driving record also includes a 2018 traffic ticket for running a red
light in Washington state.
The leaked body camera footage in
question shows Auderer in his patrol car speaking over the phone to a
man later identified as guild president Mike Solan a day after the
January accident. Auderer is heard assuring Solan the incident would not
be the subject of a criminal investigation and stated that driving 50
miles per hour through a 25 mile per hour intersection—not the actual 74
miles per hour—was “not reckless for a trained driver.”
Auderer
then gave Solan his own interpretation of witness testimony regarding
the incident. “I think she [Kandula] went up on the hood, hit the
windshield, then when he [Dave] hit the brakes, flew off the car.” He
then told Solan, “but she is dead” and then proceeded to laugh out loud.
In a subsequent statement dripping with horrifying contempt for the
working class student, Auderer tells Solan, “It’s a regular person.
Yeah, just write a check. $11,000.” Auderer then states, mistaking
Kandula’s age, “She was 26 anyway. She had limited value.”
I
guess covering actual news isn't as fun for Zac and Gavin as making
crap up and trying to be the Hedda Hopper and Louella Parsons of the
21st century but it would be more honest and more helpful if the two men
could be introduced to the truth.
RUDAW notes, " Iraq’s Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein late Friday arrived in New York to
attend the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly in the
coming days. The Iraqi prime minister is expected to attend the session
as well."
IRAQI NEWS reports that Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani is en route to New York.
Ashesh Mallick (INDIA TV) reports, "The Security Council on Friday (September 15) voted unanimously to end
the UN probe, a year from now, into activities of Islamic State
extremists in Iraq. The voting was made at the request of the Iraqi government."
ASHARQ AL AWSAT adds,
"The UK-sponsored resolution noted that Baghdad also asked that UN
investigators hand over evidence they have gathered so far to the
government, so that Iraqi authorities can pursue ISIS members’
accountability, as well as that of those who assisted and financed 'this
terrorist organization'." That should be large amount of evidence
since the investigation since you're looking at investigation that's
gone on for over five years now.
SHIA WAVES notes, "The resolution asks Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to submit a
report by Jan. 15 on recommendations to implement Iraq’s request for
evidence obtained by the U.N. team." In related news, RUDAW reports:
Six years after the liberation of Mosul from the brutal clutches of the
Islamic State (ISIS), the search continues for the dead who lie under
piles of rubble on the western bank of the city that bore the brunt of
nine months of destructive war.
Search and rescue teams say they find seven to eight bodies every week.
[. . .]
Since 2017, a total of 6,044 bodies have been recovered. Of them, 3,749
have been identified. The remaining 2,295 unidentified includes 800
children.
The city buries the unknown bodies if they are not claimed by family within two months.
"Following measures and inspections being carried out for the dead
bodies, we will place the dead bodies in refrigerators at the Mosul
morgue for a legal timeframe of 60 days. Upon instruction from the
court, we will bury them in coordination with the Mosul municipality,"
Shahd Arif, head of the Mosul forensic department, told Rudaw.
Despite the smell of death that haunts parts of the city, health
authorities have not registered any diseases as a result of the bodies
lying under the rubble.
Turkish airstrikes targeted on Saturday a
number of regions in Dohuk province, located in northern Iraq, claiming
they were targeting positions affiliated with the Kurdistan Workers'
Party (PKK), which Ankara designates as a "terrorist organization".
According to a security source, Turkish
helicopters conducted aerial raids on areas within the Amadiya district,
north of Dohuk province.
Providing further insight, the source told news outlets that areas
falling within the same province were also subjected to shelling.
Turkey
has been terrorizing Iraq for years. And the area that they targeted
on Saturday? It was the third time in a week that they attacked it.
Turning to the US, Alex Bollinger (LGBTQ NATION) reports:
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) denounced the state of Massachusetts for
allegedly taking a step towards jailing parents for not supporting their
transgender children, even though that didn’t happen at all. Her
statements were part of a larger myth on the right that Democrats and
other liberal people want to take people’s children away and force them
to transition to another gender.
“A commission in Massachusetts just said that child-abuse
laws should include withholding ‘gender-affirming care,'” she tweeted
last week. “So, if I don’t want my eleven year old to get his body
mutilated, I should be sent to jail for child abuse.”
Really?
The whore said that. Because whore is the only word for her. She's
wrong ("First, 'mutilation' does not describe gender-affirming care.
Also,
11-year-old trans kids don’t get gender-affirming genital surgery
because it is not performed on transgender minors, much less
pre-teens.") but that doesn't stop the whore does it. She has condemned
gay people, trans people, drag artists and everyone else as a threat to
the public. But it was still-married Lauren Boebert, the whore, who
went to a performance of BEETLJUICE with her new male partner -- again,
she's not yet divorced -- and chose, in full view of others, to let him
grope her breasts, while she repeated grabbed his crotch.
See for yourself in the video below.
She
wants to talk about what others do in public? Then let's talk about
the sitting whore in Congress who went to a musical and put on a sex
show.
She's still married to another man and she acts
like that in public? She can't even claim they were parked on a dark
road and so she thought no one would see. This was in public with
people seated on all sides of them. And she wants to lecture others?
This is how a member of Congress behaves -- a married member of Congress
behaves with someone who is not her spouse -- in public? And she has the nerve to attack anyone else?
