Update on Kurd-Shi'a Split

The Washingon Times fleshes the story out. Wouldn't it be great if there was more than one newspaper covering stories in Iraq other than Abu Ghraib?

Iraq's new president, seeking to calm tensions between his nation's Shi'ites and Kurds, pledged yesterday that promises of Kurdish autonomy in the country's interim constitution will be honored.

"Iraq will be a free and democratic federal country. Federalism has been accepted by all Iraqis," Ghazi Mashal Ajil al-Yawer said during his first visit to Washington since being named to the largely ceremonial post last week.

"The Kurdish demands are for federalism," he said at a press conference. "Federalism brings two pieces of a country and glues them together. This is what our brethren, the Kurds, want and we have to respect that. We're going to abide by" the interim constitution approved in March.

Kurdish leaders threatened this week to pull out of the new Iraqi government if their hopes for autonomy are thwarted. But Mr. al-Yawer insisted that reports of strife within the government were "baseless."

He insisted that reports of strife within the government were "baseless"?

Baseless?

One-third of the country threatens to secede and he calls that "baseless"?

This is an obvious lie designed to hide serious problems within the government from the Iraqi people via deceptive media relations.

And this comes just a week after they pandered to the illegal militias by promising them high-paying, cushy government jobs.

You know, I think the Iraqis are getting the hang of this "democracy" thing after all.

Now, we just need a high-level sex scandal. When that happens, you know: This Iraqi Project is going to work.

From the blog of Baghdadienne:

May 29th: AC paid me $400 to bring my little brother in for a round of "camel style" loving. I was, like, so morally conflicted about pimping my straight little brother, but a girl has to buy "Sex and the City" DVD's. Right?

June 1st: AC's been accused of spying for Iran! I'm bummed, because this means my little brother's butt is no longer a "cash-camel" for me. How am I supposed to get by on $25,000 a year?

June 3rd: Hmm..someone named "Wonkette" is writing about me. She seems to like butt loving. And bashing Republicans. Maybe if I add a couple new entries she'll keep "coming back", if you know what I mean...

June 4th: So, I met with G (who is on duty at something called the Abu Ghraib detention facility) on my lunch hour today. He took me down to the lowest level and we played a game he likes to call "Rumpy for Rummy". It involves him doing me up the poop shoot, while a bunch of hooded prisoners "jiggle the figs" in order to give me a "21 gun salute". Ohh, and he gave me $400 and an absentee ballot already filled out.

June 5th: Looks like my career in government may be coming to an "end". Wonkette has "outed me". Bummer. But Ana says I could have a career and faux lesbo shots, and she's willing to help!!! It's nice to have friends like that, even though we havent ever met.

June 7th: Faux lesbo shots are HOT!!! PLayboy is calling. Will pay top $$$ for me and AMC together. I'm all for it. Deal is still up in the air, because AMC appears to think that our asses need their own agents. I mean, I know they are hot and all, but their own agents? Why should I have to compete with my butt for gigs? And why does she keep saying "butterface"?

June 9th: AMC has dropped me like a rock. (Or gone down on me like Rock Hudson, maybe?) In any event, she won't return my e-mails anymore. Well, at least this gives me a chance to rest my ass. I hear there is a new blog called Wankette HQ that is "right up my alley" and a girl's gotta be tight if she wants to make a good first impression.

CBD and Sefton discuss President Trump's cabinet picks, including the all-important "Bikini Measure." And the continuing pogroms in Europe, driven by uncontrolled and massive Muslim immigration, and aided by Europe's traditional Jew-Hate.
Written by Ben Meiselas:

"Chuck Todd wrote the most idiotic thing I've read today, and it perfectly encapsulates the problem with corporate media. It's also a confession. He wrote, "These confirmation hearings may just save cable TV for the short term."

You see, people like Chuck Todd and their corporate benefactors are losing relevance. Americans are sick and tired of their lazy reporting, blatant lies, "both sides" equivocations, and outright cheerleading for fascism. By ignoring the most obvious lessons of history, corporate media rooted for chaos, drama, torment, crime, and hardship, believing idiocracy and fascism would be good for ratings.

Well, here it is, Chuck Todd. And no one cares about you or your network. In fact, we hold you responsible for forcing this circus upon us.

If Senate confirmation hearings take place at all, we, the people, are not watching them on your network, Chuck."

(Found on DU, if you hadn't guessed.)

Trump announces RFKJr. for HHS (via the NY Post):
"For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health," Trump wrote in his announcement, making rare use of his X account to broadcast a cabinet pick.

"The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!"

Midnight's Edge: Woke "Muh Diversity/Muh LGBT" leftist feminist Grace Randolf actually wonders if she's been in a leftwing bubble all along, and realizes that maybe the "Republican bubble" is larger than the leftwing one
She also realizes that social media and the legacy media have "misled" her.
Republicans aren't in a bubble. We all know what the left is thinking and saying because corrupt social media companies constantly push the Marxist propaganda media on us. It's the left that is sheltered and protected in curated spaces from ever hearing a dissenting point of view. Many of us might like to be in a bubble, but the Marxist propaganda media's domination, along with the Google/Microsoft determination that everyone's feeds must be stuffed full of the Marxist propaganda media ops, means we can't bubble up even if we'd want to.
