Suspended..

 

Ilya Shapiro, a recently hired administrator at Georgetown University Law Center and a prominent libertarian, has been suspended by the university after he tweeted that President Biden was not going to nominate "the objectively best pick" but a "lesser Black woman" to be the next Supreme Court justice, according to The New York Times.

"Objectively best pick for Biden is Sri Srinivasan, who is solid prog & v smart," Mr. Shapiro tweeted. "Even has identity politics benefit of being first Asian (Indian) American. But alas doesn't fit into latest intersectionality hierarchy so we'll get lesser black woman. Thank heaven for small favors?"

Sri Srinivasan is the Indian-born chief judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.

Shapiro issued an apology Friday for his "poor choice of words" on Twitter.

Last..

 

"Last night at my direction, US military forces in northwest Syria successfully undertook a counterterrorism operation to protect the American people and our Allies, and make the world a safer place," Biden said in a statement. 

What "American people" you meant?
Who are our Allies in the area?
How long will we stay in Syria without legitimate reason?
How long can we justify an unjust presence?

Killing people in Syria and destroy the country is not our Social Justice we are asking for.
Make the world a safer place in Syria, but not for the Syrian people?  Just a thought.

Fit..

 

When President Woodrow Wilson contracted the Spanish flu after arriving in Paris in April 1919 for peace talks at the end of World War I, he was devastated both physically and mentally, suffering from profound fatigue, coughing, paranoia and disorientation. The White House doctor at the time, Cary Grayson, wrote in a letter to a friend that "the president was suddenly taken violently sick with influenza at a time when the whole of civilization seemed to be in the balance."

Indeed, as John M. Barry, author of "The Great Influenza," recently pointed out that Wilson's illness gave British Prime Minister David Lloyd George and French Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau the upper hand in the ensuing peace talks, which led to severe sanctions against Germany and, ultimately, to the rise of Hitler and the Nazis less than a generation later.

Now, once again, we face a world in crisis, not just with the COVID-19 pandemic but also with the current battle of wits between President Biden and Russia's Vladimir Putin over Ukraine.                 

Is Biden up to the pressure, his critics and some independent analysts are asking?                           Is he mentally fit?

Scandal..

 

Any on in the Democratic party is interested in investigating the death of 20,000 elderly and the coverup that proceeded after to prevent the Federal Government from assisting in saving some lives?

If this Governor is innocent, so be it. 

But just looking the other side on this issue is Scandalis. Just a thought.

Scandals..

 

Downing Street suffers from a culture of “excessive” workplace drinking that led to social gatherings during pandemic lockdowns, according to a highly anticipated report from a British government.

The document described leadership failures in the office of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, though it did not directly implicate Mr. Johnson in wrongdoing, leaving that judgment to a separate police investigation. That may give him some political breathing room, but it is unlikely to dispel the cloud of what has become a career-threatening scandal. 

On the other side of the pond, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office hid the number of deaths in nursing homes during the coronavirus pandemic for at least five months, The New York Times reported.  

Cuomo's senior advisors repeatedly prevented state health officials from releasing the actual death toll to the public, according to interviews and new documents reviewed by the NYT. Documents that included the data didn't go public until months later.

No investigation here since he is a Democratic Governor in a Democratic White House. Just a thought.
