wondering what other unusually apt words describe him?
Cornel West is one broke motherfucker.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/zacheverson/2023/12/01/checks--imbalances-why-cornel-west-is-broke/?sh=405cca734410Cornel West has been a fixture of American society for more than three decades, publishing books, teaching at Ivy League institutions, commenting on cable news, collaborating on music with Prince—even popping up in sequels to the Matrix. Ubiquity provided liquidity, with West earning an estimated $15 million or so over the last 30 years. But oddly, as he mounts an independent run for president, his net worth resembles that of a first-year adjunct professor. “I live paycheck to paycheck,” says West.
West lived in a Four Seasons condo in Boston, which he later admitted he could not afford, and rode around in a Mercedes or Cadillac. One of his four ex-wives accused West of maintaining a covert apartment in Boston for $5,000 a month to use as a love den. She also alleged that, despite not having any health conditions, he later took a medical leave from his job at Harvard to live a “secret life” with another woman in New Mexico.
TO FORBES: NOW INVESTIGATE JILL STEIN
If the IDF knew, Netanyahu knew too.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/30/world/middleeast/israel-hamas-attack-intelligence.html"Israeli officials obtained Hamas’s battle plan for the Oct. 7 terrorist attack more than a year before it happened, documents, emails and interviews show. But Israeli military and intelligence officials dismissed the plan as aspirational, considering it too difficult for Hamas to carry out.
The approximately 40-page document, which the Israeli authorities code-named “Jericho Wall,” outlined, point by point, exactly the kind of devastating invasion that led to the deaths of about 1,200 people.
The translated document, which was reviewed by The New York Times, did not set a date for the attack, but described a methodical assault designed to overwhelm the fortifications around the Gaza Strip, take over Israeli cities and storm key military bases, including a division headquarters.
Hamas followed the blueprint with shocking precision. The document called for a barrage of rockets at the outset of the attack, drones to knock out the security cameras and automated machine guns along the border, and gunmen to pour into Israel en masse in paragliders, on motorcycles and on foot — all of which happened on Oct. 7"
"too difficult for Hamas to carry out" my ass. cool story bros.
Why does Fulton county even allow smiling for the mug shots?
You aren't allowed to smile for passports. If you smile during a passport photo, they'll tell you to stop it.
Getting booked is a serious business.
Some republican twits are saying that Trump couldn't have been in the "Beast"
and lunged at Engle. It appears he may have been in one of the
newer modified Suburban SUV's that the Secret Service got in 2020.

While any one of the various armored modified vehicles the president rides in are often referred to as the "Beast,"
technically, the term applies to the limo version. Obviously, the layout of the SUV and the limo are different.
Whatever the case, be prepared to fend off this grasping at straws disinformation.
Tucker's "End of Man" video and the "God Squad."
Has anyone made the connection between Kelvin Gemstone's "God Squad"
and Tucker's new video? Seems kinda obvious to me.
My response to Morning Edition 1-11-21
I was listening to the Morning Edition interview with two members of the so-called Problem Solvers Caucus - the two interviewees being U.S. Reps Dean Phillips and Dusty Johnson. I turned it off immediately, when in response to Rachel Martin's question about whether the president needed to be removed from office, Dusty Johnson opined that the "president does have some culpability..." for recent violence at the capitol. Culpability!? I'm fatigued and frustrated listening to mealy mouthed apologists for Trump. The man is clearly a menace, as are craven republican representatives who are being deliberately obtuse regarding Trump's seditious incitement to insurrection. Moreover, the preposterous Problem Solvers Caucus is simply a fig leaf under the banner of "bipartisanship" - simply a fantasy given nearly universal republican resistance to any policy that doesn't benefit the 1/10 of 1%. The violence at the capitol was no less than a coup against the government in an attempt overturn a fairly decided election. Don't be fooled by the bumpkins. They're merely muddle-headed foot soldiers for an already radicalized movement within the republican party. You know it and I know it. Please do not insult your listenership by giving air time to disingenuous political hacks that are trying to normalize this disgusting and treasonous behavior. NPR management needs to grow a pair.
How a Chinese Communist Party promoter tied to Cindy Yang joined the Trump campaign
Source: The Miami Herald
...
Lou is a United States-based promoter for the Chinese Communist Party and former writer for Chinese media, a job he got after graduating from Columbia Graduate School of Journalism in 1994.
He is also an avid Trump supporter.
Last year, the Chinese-born American citizen took his support to a new level. Lou signed a contract with the Republican National Committee to become an official fundraiser for President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign — at the same time Trump was launching a bellicose trade war against Lou’s homeland. Trump recently vowed that communism’s “days are numbered,” excoriating any Democrat who dared espouse any hint of sympathy toward socialism.
...
Out of this marriage of supply and demand emerged a tacitly Chinese state-endorsed gray market selling tickets to Trump-related events to Chinese business people. It’s where Lou’s life overlapped with that of Li “Cindy” Yang — founder of a chain of South Florida Asian day spas, whose latest start-up involved selling presidential access over Chinese-language social media.
