Anthony Scaramucci’s wife files for divorce | Page Six

Anthony Scaramucci, the White House’s potty-mouthed new communications director, has been dumped by his beautiful blond wife because of his “naked political ambition,” multiple sources exclusively tell Page Six.Deidre Ball, who worked as a vice president in investor relations for SkyBridge Capital, the firm he founded in 2005 and sold to ascend to the White House, has filed for divorce from “The Mooch” after three years of marriage after getting fed up with his ruthless quest to get close to President Trump, whom she despises.One source told Page Six, “Deidre has left him and has filed for divorce. She liked the nice Wall Street life and their home on Long Island, not the insane world of D.C. She is tired of his naked ambition, which is so enormous that it left her at her wits’ end. She has left him even though they have two children together.”

The Trump Assault on Trans Rights Is the Canary in the Coalmine | Dame Magazine Worse than even depicted here – it is just about perceived political advantage to be anti-women, POC, “foreigners,”LGBTQ,” Muslim… and whatever wingnuts fear or hate next.

The tiniest of silver linings here is that Trump probably expected all conservatives to line up joyfully to support this latest bit of awful. And the social conservatives like creepy Steve Bannon and ghoulish Mike Pence are indeed overjoyed. But when someone as conservative and military-fetishizing as Orrin Hatch (!!) issues a statement that you’re wrong to discriminate against transgender people serving in the military, you’re as far on the wrong side of history as it is possible to be.

Jerusalem celebrates Victory in openning al Aqsa

نادية حرحش

I Livef all what I know about life in this city . I have never witnessed jerusalem victorious, happy, the walls , the streets, the people … Today Jeruslaem was the bride and every single Jerusalemite was the groom .tens of thousands of men and women from all ages were gathering in celebration in ever corner of the city and inside the aqsa mosque compound . It was magical … Spiritual … With a taste of victory that we never really experienced before . The soldiers were there mad and furious and brutal as always … We were beaten. We actully did not even bother … We were just there and each stone in this city was screaming loud : I am Palestinian … Thanks to every man and woman in this city … No wonder that gate is called lions gate… It is city that breeds lions … I…

Genetic evidence suggests the Canaanites weren’t destroyed after all | Ars Technica

“Over 90 percent of the genetic ancestry of present-day Lebanese was derived from the Canaanites,” said Chris Tyler-Smith, who was on the research team. “In light of the enormously complex history of this region in the last few millennia, it was quite surprising.”

Brutality of occupation 

Even though shame has been outlawed by the current Israeli government, there are still honorable Israelis who have this last chance to keep their honor by supporting Palestinians, peace, and humility.

نادية حرحش

My youngest daughter has been debating recently with us the value of peace with Israelis. She is a strong believer in peace and thinks that it is up to us to do this . In the series of the last week we have been going to the old city in solidarity with al Aqsa . She witnessed a brutal attack on one young boy after prayer by a group of angry soldiers and she freaked out thinking of how close it was to us getting shot in that instant .

Today , as Jerusalemites flooded in celebration to the aqsa after opening it , she went with her brother and cousin. The soldiers were so mad and furious , they were hitting people from all directions and closed the mosque on people and started shooting sound and rubber bullets and beating with their rods and guns .Among all that was…

This transcript of Scaramucci talking trash about Priebus, Bannon is incredible – U.S. News – Haaretz.com

“Reince is a fucking paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac,” Scaramucci said. Lizza adds that Scaramucci then “channeled Priebus as he spoke: ‘Oh, Bill Shine is coming in. Let me leak the fucking thing and see if I can cock-block these people the way I cock-blocked Scaramucci for six months.’”

In a wry manner, the magazine added that “Priebus did not respond to a request for comment.”

Scaramucci also used the opportunity to voice his opinion on Steven Bannon, President Trump’s senior White House strategist, by telling Lizza that “I’m not Steve Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own cock. I’m not trying to build my own brand off the fucking strength of the President. I’m here to serve the country.” Bannon, just like Priebus, declined to comment.
