SYRIA’S WAR: CONVOLUTED AND COMPLICATED

Syria has been at the forefront of the news for several years.

We know about the war raging within its borders.

We have seen the many refugees leaving and running into uncertain conditions about their travels and their eventual destination.

This week, the situation attracted a huge spotlight due to the launching of Tomahawk missiles, early Friday, April 7, by the United States on a base in western Syria that the United States says was used to launch Tuesday’s chemical attack, April 4, which left nearly 100 people dead and hundreds more injured.

The video explains the many details, factions, alliances and ‘players’.

Take a look.

Ezra Klein brings you a video that starts where all good videos of this type start: from the beginning of the conflict so as to understand how it has morphed beyond its original intent.

After four-plus years of fighting, Syria’s war has killed at least 250,000 people and displaced 12 million people. And, though it started as a civil war, it’s become much more than that.

It’s a proxy war that has divided much of the Middle East, and has drawn in both Russia and the United States.

To understand how Syria got to this place, it helps to start at the beginning and watch it unfold.

Keith Olbermann, #23 …. “Trump’s Devious Plan to Destroy the White House Press Corps …. ‘unpresidented’ …. alarming …. “!!

WHITE HOUSE PRESS CORPS

RUSSIA STYLE

(MAKE THE CROWDS BIGGER)

The White House press corps is the group of journalists or correspondents usually stationed at the White House in Washington, D.C., to cover the President of the United States, White House events, and news briefings.

Their offices are located in the West Wing.

Donald Trump’s plan to neuter the White House press corps could neuter our democracy

(Robert Reich)

Tyrants don’t allow open questioning, and they hate the free press. They want total control.

That’s why, according to three senior officials on the transition team, the incoming Trump administration is considering evicting the White House press corps from the press room inside the White House and moving them – and news conferences – to a conference center or to the Old Executive Office Building.

tr

This may sound like a small logistic matter. It’s not. The White House “press room” contains work stations and broadcast booths, and the briefing area for presidential news conferences.

Reporters have had workspace at the White House since Teddy Roosevelt was president, in 1901.

Rubbish. It’s because a larger room would allow the administration to fill seats with “alt-right” fringe journalists, rightwing social media, Trump supporters and paid staffers.

They’d be there to ask the questions Trump wants to answer, and to jeer at reporters who ask critical questions and applaud Trump’s answers.

The move would allow Trump to play the crowd.

But we’re in a new era, the reign of King Trump.

I feel this is important information about what is ahead and what we need to be aware of.

Keith Olbermann series called “The Resistance” continues.

He has posted installment #23.

If this resonates with you, good.

If they don’t, just scroll away to the next blog.

Thank you!

At the end of the day …. “Ellen DeGeneres …. on the phone with Adele, Drake and Lionel Ritchie”!!

ELLEN DEGENERES, ADELE, DRAKE AND LIONEL

Adele, Drake and Lionel Richie Have the Most Ridiculous Phone Conversations with Ellen DeGeneres

Ellen DeGeneres  is so popular, she gets phone calls from Adele, Drake and Lionel Richie …. all within the matter of minutes.

At least that’s how it looks in a must-see spoof on Thursday’s episode, October 28, 2015, of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Adele might have a throwback flip phone in the music video for “Hello,” but DeGeneres tops her with an old-school device that belongs in a 1980’s time capsule. The only problem: her reception isn’t that great, and she can’t understand what the singer is saying.

“The connection is bad.

Did you say you’re eating beets?”

Ellen deadpans – and that’s just the beginning of the ridiculousness.

Before we know it, DeGeneres is getting another call from Drake, who has a familiar complaint you’ll recognize from his new song “Hotline Bling“.

Just when DeGeneres thinks this crazy phone session is over, Richie calls with a pertinent question.

If you don’t want the star-studded conversation to end, check out the Adele-Richie mashup that’s gone viral.

~Ellen DeGeneres Spoofs Adele’s “Hello” Video~

~Published on Oct 29, 2015~

If Ellen doesn’t spoof your music video, did you really even make a music video? Her latest spoof project was Adele’s record breaking “Hello” music video and she did not disappoint.
Adele’s “Hello” video is beautiful, cus duh it’s Adele, but Ellen managed to spice it up with a little help from Drake, Lionel Ritchie, and some potato chips.
In the spoof, Ellen gets a call from Adele on this ancient 80’s phone and proceeds to talk to Adele except instead of her talking back, snippets of Adele’s video are used to carry on the convo.

Adele hangs up on Lionel Richie in this ‘Hello’
mashup video

If the first thought that came to your mind when listening to Adele’s new single “Hello” was, “How would Lionel Richie – whose 1984 song by the same name landed him two Grammy nominations – react?” then you’re not alone. While many celebs took an instant liking to the lead single off the British singer’s forthcoming album, Blend TV’s mashup of both “Hello” videos shows Richie getting the short end of Adele’s poor cell phone reception.

~~July 23, 2015~~ 

A NEW DAY

This is the beginning of a new day.
I have been given this day to use as I will.

I can waste it, or use it.
I can make it a day long to be remembered for its joy,
its beauty and its achievements,
or it can be filled with pettiness.

What I do today is important because I am exchanging a day of my life for it.

When tomorrow comes this day will be gone forever,
but I shall hold something which I have traded for it.

It may be no more than a memory,
but if it is a worthy one I shall not regret the price.

I want it to be gain not loss, good not evil, success not failure.
