For the second time since Biden took office, he ordered a bombing raid on Syria, and for the first time, he also bombed Iraq. He used the same excuse for his attack in February, that the US “conducted defensive precision airstrikes against facilities used by Iran-backed militia groups in the Iraq-Syria border region,” and that the US acted within “its right of self-defense.” This is deceitful as the airstrikes were not defensive because Syria and Iraq do not have the capability to bomb the US; the US has no legal right to fight wars in either country; and Biden’s actions had no Congressional authority. The targets of US aggression were not Iranians, but were Iraqis in their own country, and Syrians in their own country. According to reports, ISIS used Biden’s airstrikes as cover to attack Iraq’s power grid.
America has the right to “defend” itself by bombing alleged “Iran-backed militias” in Syria and Iraq, so said Pentagon spokesman John Kirby on Sunday.
For the second time in the five months since he was inaugurated, President Joe Biden on Sunday ordered a U.S. bombing raid on Syria, and for the first time, he also bombed Iraq. The rationale offered was the same as Biden’s first air attack in February: the U.S., in the words of Pentagon spokesman John Kirby, “conducted defensive precision airstrikes against facilities used by Iran-backed militia groups in the Iraq-Syria border region.” He added that “the United States acted pursuant to its right of self-defense.”
Embedded in this formulaic Pentagon statement is so much propaganda and so many euphemisms that, by itself, it reveals the fraudulent nature of what was done. To begin with, how can U.S. airstrikes carried out in Iraq and Syria be “defensive” in nature? How can they be an act of “self-defense”? Nobody suggests that the targets of the bombing campaign have the intent or the capability to strike the U.S. “homeland” itself. Neither Syria nor Iraq is a U.S. colony or American property, nor does the U.S. have any legal right to be fighting wars in either country, rendering the claim that its airstrikes were “defensive” and an “act of self-defense” to be inherently deceitful.
The Pentagon’s description of the people bombed by the U.S. — “Iran-backed militias groups” — is intended to obscure the reality. Biden did not bomb Iran or order Iranians to be bombed or killed. The targets of U.S. aggression were Iraqis in their own country, and Syrians in their own country. Only the U.S. war machine and its subservient media could possibly take seriously the Biden administration’s claim that the bombs they dropped on people in their own countries were “defensive” in nature. Invocation of Iran has no purpose other than to stimulate the emotional opposition to the government of that country among many Americans in the hope that visceral dislike of Iranian leaders will override the rational faculties that would immediately recognize the deceit and illegality embedded in the Pentagon’s arguments.
Beyond the propagandistic justification is the question of legality, though even to call it a question dignifies it beyond what it merits. There is no conceivable Congressional authorization — none, zero — to Biden’s dropping of bombs in Syria. Obama’s deployment of CIA operatives to Syria and years of the use of force to overthrow Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad never had any Congressional approval of any kind, nor did Trump’s bombing of Assad’s forces (urged by Hillary Clinton, who wanted more), nor does Biden’s bombing campaign in Syria now. It was and is purely lawless, illegal. And the same is true of bombing Iraq. The 2002 Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMF) in Iraq, which the House just last week voted to repeal, has long since ceased to provide any legal justification for ongoing U.S. troop presence and bombing campaigns in that country.
In its statement justifying the bombing raids, Biden’s Pentagon barely even bothered to pretend any of this is legal. It did not cite either the 2002 AUMF for Iraq or the 2001 AUMF authorizing the use of force against those responsible for 9/11 (a category which, manifestly, did not include Iran, Iraq or Syria). Instead, harkening back to the days of John Yoo and Dick Cheney, the Biden Defense Department claimed that “as a matter of international law, the United States acted pursuant to its right of self-defense,” and casually asserted that “as a matter of domestic law, the President took this action pursuant to his Article II authority to protect U.S. personnel in Iraq.”
Only 6% of the federal workforce “report in-person on a full-time basis.” Elon Musk wrote,: “If you exclude security guards & maintenance personnel, the number of government workers who show up in person and do 40 hours of work a week is closer to 1%!”
Protesters said that Neely should not have been killed for being black and “loud”, but Neely actually made death threats. Harris Faulkner, a black female Fox News host, said that this case came down to a race issue and was not about Daniel Penny’s innocence.

Mangione appears to be wearing a different jacket and carrying a different backpack than the shooter in the video. Mr. Thompson’s former bodyguard was ‘baffled’ that the CEO was not protected by guards in New York. Thompson faces away from the camera during the shooting and there is no blood at the scene.
Mangione was the valedictorian of his all-boys high school and graduated from University of Pennsylvania, with a bachelor’s and master’s degree in computer science. Mr. Mangione comes from a prominent and wealthy family in the Baltimore area that owns a country club and nursing homes.
Damascus has fallen, and President Assad is seeking refuge in Moscow. US Central Command has launched 75 major airstrikes on ISIS camps across Syria. President-elect Trump says that this is not our fight. Israel has taken over a section of the Golan Heights.
Dr. Peter Hotez, who was a zealous advocate of the COVID-19 vaccine, warned that President-elect Donald Trump will face an abundance of viral threats upon assuming office on January 21, 2025. It is curious that he gave the exact date that he said the viruses will be unleashed.
Judge Wiley allowed a bizarre proposal from Assistant District Attorney Dafna Yoran to avoid a mistrial by allowing her to drop a manslaughter charge against Daniel Penny to try and secure a conviction on a lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide. Penny’s lawyer said this has never been done before.
73% of American families cannot afford a new single-family home at the current median price of $425,786. The mixed-use development of malls expands on the concept of 15-minute cities that keep people contained in one area for control purposes under the United Nations’ Agenda 2030.
America’s global ranking in life expectancy will drop from 49th in the world in 2022 to 66th in 2050, out of a total of 204 nations and territories.

His comments revived a controversy over clinical trials in 2009 that were funded by the Gates Foundation to test HPV vaccines on Indian girls. Seven tribal girls died after vaccination and many others were severely ill. All of the deaths were dismissed from being related to the vaccines without proper investigations.
Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was shot to death. Shell casings at the shooting area engraved with the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose” that may refer to a trend in denying insurance claims.

In an area struggling with homelessness and public defecation, a small 150 sq. ft. public bathroom in a park was proposed at an estimated cost of $1.7 million. The high cost is due to bureaucracy and over-regulation. In 2017, New York City spent $2 million on a public park bathroom.

When Trump ordered the assassination of General Soleimani, he said he was protecting the US from “imminent attacks” on US facilities and personnel. However, Trump was told that the Iranian general was on his way to Iraq seeking peaceful relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Without benefit of public debate, President Trump is sending more troops into the Middle East and Africa that likely will involve the US in more conflict. Lower level commanders have been given more authority over airstrikes in densely populated areas.
Individual states have a Constitutional remedy for stopping the migrant caravan at the border: if a state is invaded, they may invoke ‘war powers’ which allows the state, without permission from anyone, to have a military response to the invaders.
