2024's Biggest Loser Was Barack Obama
2025-01-02
Good. He worked hard to earn it.
[THEFEDERALIST] As desperate, phony, and even dangerous of a campaign Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
ran this year, and as embarrassing as the outcome was for all of them, nobody came out looking more pathetic than Barack Obama
I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody...
. From 2024's vantage point, is there any way to look at his legacy but as a tragic blight on American history?

In the final months of the campaign, Obama seemed to know the outcome of the election would say just as much about him as it would about Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created... by the — you know — you know, the thing...
, Kamala Harris
once a marijuana-busting Caliphornia DA
, or Donald Trump
...The cad! Twice caught beating wimmin!...
. And, like all realistic Democrats, he knew that the nominee he supported was on track to lose. His behavior in those days was nothing short of appalling.

Obama first stood by and said nothing when George Clooney, who I had no idea was Democrat royalty, announced in The New York Times

...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

that Biden should give up his reelection campaign, as if there was some obvious plan as to what the party would do in that event. Obama did nothing and said nothing as his former vice president was squeezed out, and then he offered what should go down in Democrat history as the most uncomfortable, underwhelming endorsement a former president has ever offered a subsequent nominee. Obama participated in a highly staged phone call with Harris and, with all the enthusiasm of a mortician, told her, ''It appears that people feel very strongly that you need to be our nominee.''

It never got any better, and it climaxed in the shocking display of Obama belittling black men. Because he shared in their race (somewhat), Obama felt they should do as he said. ''You're coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses,'' he told them to their faces with his arms crossed and brow furrowed. ''I've got a problem with that because part of it makes me think — and I'm speaking to men directly now — part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren't feeling the idea of having a woman as president.'' Obama literally wagged his finger to tell these grown men, ''That's not acceptable. This shouldn't even be a question.''

If that weren't crazed enough, he then trotted out wife Michelle to further nag male voters. ''So fellas,'' she said at a rally in Michigan, ''before you cast your votes ask yourselves what side of history do you want to be on.'' She said male ''rage'' is what could cost Democrats the election. ''If we don't get this election right,'' she nagged, ''your wife, your daughter, your mother — we as women will become collateral damage to your rage. So are you men prepared to look into the eyes of the women and kiddies you love and tell them that you supported this assault on our safety?'' (Can we get one of those overpaid consultants to advise women in politics that there's nothing frank or authentic about referring to men as ''fellas?'')

Generally speaking, Democrat men have never been accused of being too manly, but it remains a mystery as to who came up with the idea to browbeat them into voting for Kamala. If it was Obama's idea, man has he lost his magic. And if it wasn't his idea, man has he lost his magic.

''Hope and change'' became, ''Do what mommy and daddy said.''

Then Trump won decisively, the first Republican in 20 years to win the popular vote. It's the second time Trump defeated the Obama-backed candidate and the second chance Trump has to reverse the havoc Obama and his legacy have wrought.

Consider that Obama's supreme legislative achievement was a health insurance industry overhaul. The ultimate result has been higher prices and fewer insurance options. Obama supported Crooked Hillary Clinton
...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do...
as his successor, discouraging Biden. She was ended by Trump. In 2020, Biden became the Democrat nominee with the eventual support of Obama, only to preside over breakouts of foreign conflict, hyperinflation, rampant crime, and unmitigated chaos at the southern border, none of which was inevitable but in fact instigated by Biden's agenda. Now voters are once again turning to Trump, the man who made his entry into the Obama-era of politics by demanding proof of Obama's birth certificate, which Obama, the sitting president of the United States, responded to by publishing it. Sad!

America is done with him. Obama was 2024's biggest loser.

-Short Attention Span Theater-
Left Eats Left: Clooney Reportedly 'Fuming' at Obama After Being 'Seduced' Into Helping Boot Biden
2024-12-02
[RedState] When the Democrats booted Joe Biden and swapped in Kamala Harris in a truly anti-democratic move, it was a truly unprecedented act. It was putting aside the primary choice of the Democratic voters for someone who ended up losing spectacularly.

But one of the people who factored into the drama was actor George Clooney, who wrote an op-ed asking Joe Biden to step aside and said they weren't going to win with Biden. That was after he helped throw a fundraiser for Biden just weeks before. But Clooney didn't say anything about a problem until the op-ed, even though he realized there was a problem during the fundraiser.

Clooney even tried to sell us on how Biden was like the most selfless person since "George Washington" in September.

Then of course it all went south for them, when they got crushed on Nov. 5.

According to a new report from Radar Online, Clooney "is furious with Obama for disappearing after the election disaster and leaving him holding the bag for pushing the plan with his Hollywood pals," a showbiz insider said.
"He used me like a condom. A scumbag!"
A "political mole" told Radar it was Barack Obama who asked Clooney to call for Biden to step aside, "fearing fallout if he did it himself."

Elon Musk will bring video-only feed to X in bid to take on TikTok and Instagram Reels
2024-06-06
[NYPOST] Elon Musk’s X could soon unveil a feature putting it head-to-head with TikTok and Instagram Reels.

The company is prepping the launch of a feature where X users will be served a stream of videos — both short snippets and longer-form videos, depending on their interests, a source told The Post.

Sources at X described it as a way to highlight the video content that users are sharing and creating and organize it under one tab. A beta version is expected to be available to a select group of users later this summer.

Musk has wanted to launch an updated version of Vine, the former 10-second video app which was once integrated into Twitter, since he bought the social media platform in October 2022.

In April, Musk asked his 186 million followers whether he should bring back Vine and nearly 70% of respondents voted yes.

"Vine was taken into consideration with this," one source said of the decision to launch a video platform inside Twitter. "The goal is to bring back that cool video experience."

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
George Clooney calls calls for arrests of Russian journalists a 'slip of the tongue'
2024-06-04
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

A continuation of this story.

Perhaps it is better to let the missus talk, instead.

[Regnum] Actor George Clooney on June 3 denied the statements of one of the employees of the Clooney Foundation for Justice, which he owns, that the organization intends to seek from the EU and the so-called International Criminal Court the arrests of Russian journalists abroad.

Anna Neistat, director of legal issues for the Docket project, previously made a corresponding statement. Clooney called her words a “slip of the tongue.”

“Someone in our foundation made a mistake. I am the son of a journalist. We at the Clooney Foundation would never persecute journalists, even if we disagree with them,” the actor said in a statement on the foundation’s X (Twitter) page.

As Regnum reported, Neistat previously stated that the Clooney Foundation will send requests to countries where there is a ban on “war propaganda” demanding that criminal cases be opened against Russian journalists. If a warrant is issued against them, representatives of Russian media will be detained in European countries through Europol, she noted.

Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that he considers this idea crazy. The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, emphasized that representatives of the Clooney Foundation are trying to carry out persecution for political reasons. State Duma deputies will consider the possibility of recognizing the activities of the Clooney Foundation as undesirable in Russia, said Vasily Piskarev, chairman of the Duma commission to investigate facts of interference of foreign states in the internal affairs of Russia.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Medvedev predicts Clooney's failure to persecute Russian journalists
2024-06-02
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Responding to this story from yesterday

[Regnum] The foundation of American actor George Clooney will waste its efforts in pursuing Russian journalists, since they themselves will find the actor first and talk to him “from dusk to dawn.” This was announced on June 1 by Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev on the social network X.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Actor George Clooney's foundation announces a hunt for Russian journalists
2024-06-01
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The foundation of American actor George Clooney will seek the issuance of sealed arrest warrants for Russian journalists in Europe. This was stated by Anna Neistat, Director of Legal Affairs of the Docket project, in an interview with Voice of America radio (a media outlet recognized as a foreign agent in the Russian Federation).
Playing at statesmanship, but really its only another cancellation game.
According to her, some countries have an article on “war propaganda” in their criminal codes. Where this provision is present, the organization will draw up a request to initiate criminal proceedings. If a warrant is issued, journalists could be detained throughout Europe at Europol level.

“That is, in any European country, journalists can be arrested and extradited to a country that is investigating a criminal case against them,” Neistat said.

She added that no appeals had yet been sent and refused to name the journalists who were planned to be persecuted. According to her, we are talking about “the most obvious Russian propagandists, the most visible of them.”

She also said that the project asks prosecutors to write closed arrest warrants so that people do not know about it and travel to other countries where they can be arrested.

As reported by IA Regnum, on May 17, the Council of the EU banned the broadcasting of three Russian media in the territory of the European Union: RIA Novosti, Izvestia and Rossiyskaya Gazeta. The sanctioned media must completely stop distributing any content through electronic media.

The Russian Foreign Ministry called the ban on broadcasting of three Russian media in the EU a purge of the information space. The department added that this decision was based solely on political motives.

The media reported on May 15 that this decision was agreed upon by the ambassadors of European countries.

The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, said that Russia will respond to the West with lightning speed and pain if the work of Russian journalists is limited.

Biden to hold star-studded fundraiser featuring George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Obama

In addition to their fundraiser appearance, Clooney, 63, and Roberts, 56, will be participating in a "contest" as part of the campaign, which will be blasted out on "social media, digital advertisements, and emails and text messages" to engage grassroots donors, according to the Biden re-election official.

International-UN-NGOs
Torture and murder. Germany is investigating Russian crimes in Ukraine
2023-10-27
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Korrespondent] The Clooney Foundation for Justice, the charity of lawyer Amal Clooney and her husband, Hollywood actor George Clooney, has asked German prosecutors to investigate three counts of alleged war crimes committed by Russian troops in Ukraine.

The applications were submitted to the German prosecutor's office, since German law enshrines the principle of universal jurisdiction - the country's law enforcement agencies can begin a criminal investigation into crimes committed outside Germany, regardless of the citizenship of the suspects or victims or whether any of them have ties to Germany. Moreover, in these three cases specifically, some families of the victims or victims live in Germany, while others are ready to come and testify in the country.

The suspects are senior and middle-level commanders of the Russian army.

COLLECTION OF EVIDENCE
CFJ represents 16 victims and victims' families.

Since the beginning of the war, Docket, a separate project of the foundation consisting of international lawyers and investigators, has been collecting evidence and preparing materials detailing crimes committed by Russian troops in Ukraine.

Their work included numerous field investigations in Ukraine, as well as extensive analysis of open source data.

As the foundation explains, if German authorities consider the evidence presented against specific people to be convincing, they can open a criminal investigation and issue arrest warrants for the suspects, which will allow them to be detained, extradited and prosecuted. Arrest warrants can be executed in countries outside Germany through the Europol and Interpol systems. The International Criminal Court can also issue arrest warrants for key suspects.

German courts occupy a leading position in the world in investigating international crimes in accordance with the principle of universal jurisdiction. They were investigating crimes committed by the Islamic State group against the Yazidis, an ethno-religious minority in Iraq.

WHAT KIND OF CASES
The first case concerns the shelling of the village of Sergeevka in the Odessa region with X-22 missiles in the summer of 2022, which killed 22 people and injured 40 more. As noted in the collected dossier, they were all civilians, and there were no military installations around. The victims are relatives of the 11 victims, as well as three survivors, two of whom are children. According to the foundation, the use of Kh-22 missiles, which have low accuracy and high power, may be classified as prohibited methods of warfare. The high command of the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Federation may be responsible for this.

The second case concerns the detention, torture and murder of four men in the Kharkov region. They were detained in March 2022 by the forces of the self-proclaimed “LPR”, after which nothing was known about their fate for a long time, and a few months later their bodies were discovered. The victims are the families of the three killed, and the suspects are four commanders of the “LPR” and Russian army units who controlled the surrounding territory.

The third case concerns murders, torture, sexualized violence and robberies in March 2022 in the Kyiv region. The case records the murders of at least 28 people, five cases of rape, and the torture of eight people. The victims in the case include the family of one of the killed and a man who was detained and tortured, and five Russian commanders who led units that participated in the occupation are suspected of crimes.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Hamas considers Israeli captives as potential bargaining chips for prisoner release. Really.
2023-10-17
They got a thousand or so for Gilad Shalit after years of tormenting the juices, so it seems reasonable to expect they can get lots more for the 225 250 or so they and other groups acquired recently.
[GEO.TV] Hamas
...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
, the Paleostinian resistance group, has indicated its readiness to use Israeli captives, kidnapped during an attack on southern Israeli areas, as leverage to secure the release of Paleostinian prisoners held in Israeli jails.

Hamas, which has long demanded the release of around 6,000 Paleostinians detained in Israeli prisons, made this statement through its leader, Khaled Meshaal.
The Dollar Store George Clooney
Meshaal conveyed that the group possesses the means to free all Paleostinians incarcerated in Israeli jails.

The recent incident involved Hamas bandidos bully boyz rampaging through southern Israeli communities and military bases, leading to over 1,300 casualties. Israel's military states that Hamas is currently holding 199 hostages in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, while Hamas claims the number is between 200 and 250.

In 2011, Israel carried out a controversial exchange, releasing hundreds of Paleostinian prisoners in exchange for one Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit, who had been held for five years. However,
today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday...
a similar exchange in the current situation, with numerous captives involved, appears highly challenging.

Israel, which has responded with Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s in Gaza resulting in hundreds of Paleostinian casualties, has vowed to free the hostages while also targeting Hamas.

The hostages in question include individuals from various countries, including Thailand and Germany. Other nations have reported their citizens as missing, and there are also Israelis with dual nationality from countries such as the UK and the US believed to be among the kidnapped.

Hamas' armed wing, in a video message, referred to the non-Israeli captives as "guests" and stated they would be released when circumstances permit. However,
today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday...
no further details were provided.

Another senior Hamas official, Moussa Abu Marzouk, mentioned that the release of foreign prisoners is complicated due to the ongoing Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip.

The situation remains tense and sensitive, with international attention focused on the potential exchange of captives and the broader conflict between Hamas and Israel.

-Short Attention Span Theater-
Stick a fork in Meghan and Harry — these royal Kardashians are done
2022-05-11
[NYPOST] Every time I think Prince Harry
couldn’t possibly make himself look more cringeworthy, up he pops to prove me spectacularly, eye-rollingly wrong.The renegade royal’s latest howler is a laugh-out-loud tourism commercial he’s made for New Zealand television to promote his sustainable eco-travel nonprofit organization, Travalyst.

Sadly, the laughter was once again at him, not with him.

Wearing a "Girl Dad" T-shirt, Harry is seen jogging through the woods before he’s stopped by eco-tourist "rating agents" and berated about a lollipop wrapper he supposedly dropped there during a 2018 royal tour trip with wife Meghan, but praised for turning off running tap water while he brushes his teeth.

That revelation prompted a bewildered Harry to exclaim: "How do you know that? That’s really weird."

Because, of course, he’s such a private guy and that’s secret personal information that could only be known if he’d turned into a Kardashian with 24/7 cameras recording his every ablution and tooth-cleansing.

Oh, wait, he has!

Harry and Meghan have become the royal Kardashians, only a slightly trashier version if that was even possible: a pair of shameless chancers whose only thought each day is how to fleece and exploit their royal titles ever more cynically, while simultaneously trashing the royal family and monarchy to which they owe their status — and playing the downtrodden, oppressed victims from their $11 million Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, mansion.

The hypocrisy in everything they do is breathtaking, and never better illustrated than with Harry’s latest preaching about "sustainable eco-travel."

He loves self-righteously barking at us all about the urgent need to save the planet by reducing our carbon footprint, as he uses private jets like we use taxis.

Just as he and Meghan pleaded for us to think about poverty on Twitter on the very same day she was throwing a $500,000 baby shower in New York (and hopping back to London on George Clooney’s plane).

But it’s their constant bleating about privacy that most sticks in the craw given their decision to accept a reported $115 million payment from Netflix to trail around after them with cameras, capturing their most "private" moments for the delectation of the public.
