China’s state-run Global Times propaganda arm published an opinion piece condemning “the West” for the current instability in Libya on Tuesday, arguing that “the West couldn’t care less” about Tripoli and that Libya is “one of the biggest failures” of the Arab Spring. Tripoli is currently undergoing an invasion by the Libyan National Army (LNA), an unofficial militia under the control of warlord Khalifa Haftar. Haftar is believed to control most of the country, but not the capital, currently under the rule of the internationally recognized Government of National Accord (GNA).

Erin Blakemore, The Washington Post Published 8:18 am PDT, Monday, April 29, 2019 The Manic Monologues www.themanicmonologues.org After "The Vagina Monologues" debuted in 1996, it quickly became a hit.

General John Kelly got it wrong. And how.While threatening to drench a White House lectern with tears borrowed from a large reptile or Hollywood prop shop, Kelly recited what was likely a prepared takedown aimed at Democratic Representative Frederica Wilson. He said: A congresswoman stood up, and in a long tradition of empty barrels making the most noise, stood up there in all of that and talked about how she was instrumental in getting the funding for that [FBI] building, and how she took care of her constituents because she got the money, and she just called up President Obama, and on that phone call, he gave the money, the $20 million, to build the building, and she sat down.Except Kelly’s version of events isn’t remotely close to the truth.The Orlando Sun Sentinel posted video footage of Wilson’s 2015 remarks about the FBI building in question.In that video, Wilson does take credit for moving the legislation which named the building forward.
