THIS JUST IN! CALL HER THE ODD MOTHER!

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



HOLDING COURT AT A TABLE LAST NIGHT AT THE OLIVE GARDEN (WHICH SHE INSISTED UPON CALLING "LITTLE ITALY"), CRANKY WAS CLEAR WHAT HAPPENS TO SONG BIRDS.

"YOU SING LIKE A CANARY," CRANKY SAID IN HER BEST FAILED ATTEMPT AT MARLON BRANDO, "YOU SWIM WITH THE FISHES.  THE FISHES.  NOBODY TURNS STATE EVIDENCE ON THE ODD MOTHER, NOBODY.  I'M THE MOTHER OF ALL MOTHERS, I'M THE MOTHER FIXING TO RUN THIS COUNTRY.  I GOT IT ALL PLANNED AND NO LITTLE PISHER WILL BRING ME DOWN.  NOW EAT SOME OF MY BREAD. IT'S OKAY.  I GOT THE ENDLESS BREAD AND SALAD BOWL.  EAT."








Tuesday, War Hawk Hillary Clinton managed to dupe enough people to win the Democratic Party primary in seven out of eleven states.

Today?

Her e-mail scandal continues to haunt.  And a new development has many people talking -- a former employee has made a deal to testify with the FBI to talk in exchange for immunity.   Judge Andrew P. Napolitano (WASHINGTON TIMES) offers his analysis which includes:


It is fair to call this a scandal because it consists of the public revelation of the private and probably criminal misdeeds of the nation’s chief diplomat during President Obama’s first term in office. Mrs. Clinton’s job as secretary of state was to keep secrets. Instead, she exposed them to friend and foe. The exposure of state secrets, either intentionally or negligently, constitutes the crime of espionage. For the secretary of state to have committed espionage is, quite simply, scandalous.
We are not addressing just a handful of emails. To date, the State Department has revealed the presence of more than 2,000 emails on her private server that contained state secrets — and four that were select access privilege, or SAP. The SAP emails require special codes in order to access them. The codes change continually, and very few people in the government have the codes. SAP is a subcategory of “top secret,” and it constitutes the highest level of protected secrecy, for the utmost protection of the government’s gravest secrets. It is unheard of for SAP-level data to reside in a non-secure, vulnerable venue — yet that is where Mrs. Clinton caused four SAPs to reside.
Mrs. Clinton’s allies in the State Department have perpetrated the myth that the 2,000 emails were recently upgraded to reflect their secret contents. That is untrue. The emails possess secret status by virtue of their contents, not because of any markings on them. Mrs. Clinton had a legal obligation to recognize state secrets when she saw them, no matter their markings or non-markings. On her first day on the job, she swore under oath that she recognized and understood that legal obligation and she promised to comply with it. She did not comply.



That's Natpolitano's view.  Legal expert and international law professor Francis A. Boyle shared his thoughts on Cranky Clinton on DIALOGOS RADIO (link is text and audio):



Hillary Clinton is a psychopath and a war criminal, [who said] “we came, we saw, he died,” mimicking Julius Ceasar and laughing hysterically after Colonel Kaddafi, my former client, was sodomized with a knife and beaten to death. She’s a certified psychopath and war criminal.


On the immunity deal, Adam Goldman (Washington Post) reports:

The Justice Department has granted immunity to the former State Department staffer who worked on Hillary Clinton’s private email server as part of a criminal investigation into the possible mishandling of classified information, according to a senior law enforcement official. 

The official said the FBI had secured the cooperation of Bryan Pagliano, who worked on Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign before setting up the server in her New York home in 2009.


Pagliano wasn't always agreeable to talking.  Alexandra Klausner (DAILY MAIL) explains:


First he said he would invoke his Fifth Amendment rights but now the IT specialist, who set up Hillary Clinton's controversial private email server, is ready to cooperate with the FBI.
In doing so, Bryan Pagliano, 39, has been granted immunity by the Justice Department as it continues its criminal investigation into whether or not the current Democratic Presidential candidate mishandled classified information.

The immunity deal has many observers commenting.  Chris Cillizza (WASHINGTON POST) offers:


The kindest possible reading of this news for Clinton is that Pagliano was simply nervous to talk about how -- and why -- he had set up the email server, and granting him immunity lets him speak freely without any concern that he might get into trouble.
Maybe. But it's my strong impression that the Justice Department doesn't go around granting immunity to people unless the person getting the immunity may be able to shed light on an important part of the investigation. After all, if Pagliano a) knew nothing or b) did nothing wrong, why would he need immunity to talk to the FBI?

Though many are making similar conclusions, not all observers are.  Matt Zapotosky (WASHINGTON POST) notes:

That is because the line between what is classified and what is not is “not inherently obvious,” and charging the former secretary of state would require prosecutors to prove that she knew what she was handling crossed that line, said Barry J. Pollack, a white-collar criminal defense lawyer at Miller & Chevalier who defended convicted CIA leaker Jeffrey Sterling

“If something has not been deemed classified, you’re asking a person to intuit how somebody else would make a subjective decision and hold that person responsible for the fact that they didn’t anticipate that somebody else might view the document as classified,” he said. “It’s almost a Rorschach test. Different people view it differently.”



Despite the above and so much more, the media chorus is for . . . Senator Bernie Sanders to see his campaign as over.

THIS JUST IN! IT'S GETTING SKANKY!

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

CRANKY CLINTON CONTINUES HER MARCH TO WORLD DOMINATION.

AND NOTHING, NOT EVEN AN IMMUNITY DEAL FOR A FORMER STAFFER, WILL STOP HER ROLL, SHE INSISTS.

"SKANKS LIKE ME DON'T PLAY LIKE THAT," CRANKY TOLD THESE REPORTERS EARLIER THIS MORNING.  "WE DON'T PLAY.  WE SKANKS.  WE SKANKY.  WE GOOD AND SKANKY.  WE GOT THE SKANK ON EVERYONE AND THEY DON'T SEE IT OUR WAY, WE LET 'EM KNOW THE SKANK CAN GET ON OUT.  THAT'S HOW WE HELD JOE BIDEN IN CHECK WHEN HE THOUGHT HE MIGHT GO UP AGAINST ME.  NOBODY GOES UP AGAINST SKANKY.  YOU REMEMBER THAT.  NOBODY GOES UP AGAINST SKANKY."


At Third on Sunday, we asked "Editorial: We elect War Criminals, don't we?"

Super Tuesday provided the answer thus far:  A resounding yes.

Hillary Clinton won seven out of eleven states, AP reports.

That's War Hawk Hillary.  Cranky Clinton.

The one some of us (including me) could give some leeway in 2008 because of her Iraq War vote, we could argue it wasn't necessarily who she was.  Then she spent four years as Secretary of State advocating for every war she could think of.

She is a War Hawk.  A War Monger.

Not only has she made that ever clearer, there's also that Iraq War vote.

And her ever changing story there.

A 'mistake' has morphed into she wasn't wrong to have voted for it, she was wrong to have trusted Bully Boy Bush.

So she was an idiot when she believed Bill Clinton wouldn't repeatedly cheat on her and she remained an idiot who bought any line a man gave her with regards to Bully Boy Bush.

Let's all grasp that Bully Boy Bush was called a "chimp" and far worse.

That he was considered one of the stupidest people in the world when he occupied the White House.

And  Hillary's ever changing defense for voting in favor of the Iraq War is that the moron tricked her.

How stupid do you have to be in order to be tricked by Bully Boy Bush?

The public's been tricked by the media.


Last month activist and Academy Award winning actress Susan Sarandon explained to Ted Johnson, "Susan Sarandon: Media ‘Lack Imagination, Journalistic Ability’ in Covering Presidential Race" (VARIETY), the reaction to her supporting Senator Bernie Sanders for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination:

The people who take me to task -- it is the same old thing. "But don’t you want a woman?"
But most of the people who say that are not aware of her record. It is strange to see somebody who says they are against fracking, and then you tell them, "Well, you know [Hillary Clinton] has been selling fracking," and they have chosen not to recognize that.



And some don't recognize that because they don't want to and some don't recognize it because of the echo chamber we live in.

Whores and trash like David Brock (he is both) pounce on any Iraq statement by a Republican but run interference for Hillary.  They pimp and promote outrage about the Iraq War . . . only when they can use the Iraq War to attack Republicans.

They never cared about Iraq.

They have no ethics.

They will sell out anyone and everyone.

THIS JUST IN! PACKER'S VAIN!

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

WAR HAWK AND PROFESSIONAL IDIOT GEORGE PACKER WRITING ANOTHER MEANINGLESS ARTICLE ISN'T SURPRISING.

WHAT IS SHOCKING IS THAT THE BALDING 55-YEAR-OLD IS STILL USING A POSTAGE STAMP SIZE DRAWING OF HIMSELF THAT MAKES HIM LOOK 30 YEARS YOUNGER.

REACHED FOR COMMENT BY THESE REPORTERS, PACKER REPLIED, "I'M SO VAIN, I KNOW CARLY SIMON'S SONG WAS ABOUT ME."



For example, Moqtada al-Sadr.

The cleric and movement leader in Iraq is in the news.

And the usual liars of the western press are out in full force.

Moqtada filled Tahrir Square.

This is an accomplishment?

There was no police harassment.

Under police harassment, young Sunnis filled Tahrir Square every Friday for over a year.

They were beaten, they were arrested and they still filled the square in downtown Baghdad.

Friday, Moqtada couldn't even turn out a crowd like he had in March of 2014.

Anyone remember that?







That's Alsumaria.




That's Al Mada.


By contrast, filling Tahrir Square on Friday looks rather tiny.


Friday, Moqtada held a rally, not a protest.

It was a rally for the calls of the current prime minister Haider al-Abadi.


Yes, it was announced that no one spoke for the Sadr movement in the current government.

A minor note of discordance.

Otherwise, Moqtada was singing from Haider al-Abadi's hymnal.

Thursday, NATIONAL IRAQI NEWS AGENCY noted:

Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi stressed that the government needs to a reformist and harmonious team at the level of application and implementation of reforms and public trends and vision of the government," stressing "the importance of cooperation in order to reduce the number of MPs and members of the provincial councils."

The office said in a statement that Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi held a meeting with the Chairman and members of the economic and investment committee in Parliament, where he stressed that "economic reform needs to action, and we started working out to move the country to the right path."

He noted that "the government needs to harmonious reformist team at the level of application and implementation of the reforms and the general trends and vision of the government."


What are they talking about?




His appearance before Parliament -- the one the Saturday, February 20th snapshot noted Haider addressed Parliament and we mainly focused on the big news that he told Parliament the Shi'ite militias would be taking part in the liberation of Mosul.  You can also see this February 22nd entry which includes Haider's Tweet about that:







  • Feb 20
    PM Al-Abadi addressed Parliament to make the case for a ministerial reshuffle and outline his economic reform plan

    THIS JUST IN! BIG DAWG GOES RABID!

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

    CRANKY CLINTON SHOULD HAVE A WIN TODAY WITH SOUTH CAROLINA BUT HER HUSBAND BILL SHOT OFF HIS MOUTH ABOUT A U.S. MARINE INSISTING THE MAN'S MIND WAS "POISONED."

    BIG TALK FOR A SEXUAL PREDATOR WITH A LIST OF WOMEN CLAIMING TO HAVE BEEN HARASSED OR RAPED BY HIM -- A VERY LONG LIST -- AND A SEXUAL PREDATOR WHO CANNOT PRACTICE LAW BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT.

    REACHED FOR COMMENT, CRANKY SAID, "WE WILL TRASH ANYONE -- IN UNIFORM OR OUT -- WHO STANDS IN MY WAY!"






    Starting in the US where Cranky Clinton wants to be president.  However, the former First Lady, former US senator, former Secretary of State and forever War Hawk, doesn't want to disclose her private speeches to Wall Street.

    She and her husband Bill Clinton have taken millions from Wall Street.  They are happy to sing and dance before them and say whatever.  They just don't want the American people to know what was said.

    Why does it matter?

    John Podesta is the Chair of the 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign.


     3 hours ago
    Huge thanks to all the staff, volunteers, and friends who brought it home. On to Super Tuesday!

    He is also -- with his brother -- the founder of The Podesta Group.


    A lobbying group.

    And his closeness to Hillary benefits him -- if not the people of the United States.


    The Podesta Group has [PDF format warning] disclosed their new contact to represent the government of Iraq:


    Iraq shall pay the Provider an amount of nine hundred sixty thousand US dollars (US $960,000) for services rendered, plus expenses.  Quarterly installments of two hundred forty thousand US dollars (US $240,000) shall bee paid by check in advance of each three-month period, including the beginning of the term of this Agreement.  Should the Provider be required to travel, Iraq will reimburse Provider at cost for travel expenses, including but not limited to airline tickets, airport transfers, accommodations, and meals.  Public relations expenses such as  subscription services, events, digital and media monitoring, or advertising will also be passed through at cost.
    Expenses for each three-month period shall be invoiced and paid by check with the fees due for the following period.  Total expenses billed during the period of this contract shall not exceed forty thousand US dollars (US $40,000).


    What's that money buying?


    The contract innocently puts it:




    The objectives of this contract are to promote better understanding within the United States of the priorities and concerns of the Government of Iraq and to further the purposes of the Strategic Framework Agreement between the United States and Iraq, facilitate dialogue between Iraq and the U.S. Congress and executive branch, and make available to the Government of Iraq the services identified below. 



    So Podesta's family gets richer and he gets Hillary's ear and what do the Iraqi people get?

    A non-responsive government which tolerates and participates in abuses well documented by Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International.



    A functioning media would be raising this issue, asking Hillary at debates, "How will you be protecting the people of Iraq when the Podestas rake in close to a million for representing the government of Iraq?"


    They'd be asking about her own vision of a free Iraq.  They'd be asking about this Tweet:







    • But we don't have a functioning media.
