Podcast appearances and mentions of clinton global initiative

Millions of people today face dire medical and mental health challenges. What role should the church play in foreign humanitarian aid to address starvation and deadly illness? In this episode, Eric Ha, CEO of Medical Teams International, joins Mark Labberton for a sobering, hopeful conversation on global humanitarian crises and the role of the church in responding to both the physical and spiritual needs of those who are suffering. Drawing from his years at International Justice Mission and now at Medical Teams International, Ha shares vivid accounts from refugee camps in East Africa and migrant communities in Colombia. He reflects on the collapse of US foreign aid, the limits of humanitarian response, and the urgent need for churches to reclaim their historic role in caring for the vulnerable. Ha wrestles candidly with the calling of Christian communities to embody God's expansive love even amid staggering need. Episode Highlights “These humans that bear the image of the divine and the eternal, and the holy and the sacred.” “Last year, Medical Teams staff helped deliver fifty thousand babies—that's a delivery every ten minutes, somewhere around the world in these extraordinarily harsh settings.” “Finding the thread and kernel of hope is actually a lot more challenging.” “For thousands of years prior to the UN, the infrastructure and ecosystem for the care of refugees was the church. It was God's people.” “The gospel is an outward pushing invitation.… It is the pushing out actually into the far and remote places of suffering in need, and to see the presence of God.” Helpful Links and Resources Medical Teams International International Justice Mission UNHCR: The UN Refugee Agency PEPFAR—The US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief Clinton Global Initiative About Eric Ha Eric Ha is the chief executive officer of Medical Teams International, a Christian humanitarian relief organization providing life-saving medical care for people in crisis worldwide.

A lawyer by training, Ha brings a deep commitment to justice, compassion, and the mobilization of the church in service of the vulnerable. Show Notes Global Humanitarian Crises and Refugee Care Eric Ha shares his journey from law and IJM to leading Medical Teams International Medical Teams founded in response to Cambodia's killing fields, continuing nearly 50 years of healthcare missions Primary healthcare for refugees: maternal care, vaccinations, mosquito nets, antimalarials, antidiarrheals, and mental health Serving 9 million people in East Africa, including Uganda, Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Sudan Refugee camps lack electricity, clean water, and adequate shelter—average displacement nearly 20 years Medical Teams delivers maternal care that dramatically reduces mortality, helping deliver 50,000 babies last year Healthcare and Human Dignity The crisis is not statistics—it's humans bearing God's image, glimpses of laughter, joy, and resilience Colombia: working with Venezuelan migrants amid drastic cuts in U.S. aid (down to 10% of prior levels) Withdrawal of foreign aid leaves communities devastated and forces NGOs to scale back Transition from justice work at IJM to medical humanitarian work brings both immediacy of impact and insufficiency of resources Hope and Despair in Humanitarian Work Theories of change at IJM allowed for hope in systemic reform; displacement crises feel harder to solve Challenge of holding onto hope in the face of preventable death and suffering Churches historically provided refugee care before the UN; today, withdrawal of aid exposes the need for church re-engagement Need to reimagine church-government partnerships in humanitarian response Empathy, Collaboration, and Mental Health Empathy as essential orientation in humanitarian work, easily lost without intentionality Competitiveness and survivalism among NGOs risks eclipsing empathy Mental health needs are massive: trauma among children in refugee camps threatens future stability Clinton Global Initiative highlights Medical Teams' commitment to expand mental health care for children in Sudan Training local health workers and communities to recognize trauma and create safe spaces for children Invitation to the Church and Listeners The gospel calls us outward, not inward—expanding our experience of God's vastness through engagement with suffering Churches must discern how to integrate humanitarian concerns without distraction, embracing their historic role in refugee care Prayer requests: for hope, for patience to wait on the Lord, and for wisdom in making hard decisions “We are invited into a different orientation—the empathy piece is so critical because it is the thing that allows us to engage.” Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.

Michael Phelps BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Michael Phelps made headlines this week with his quick and enthusiastic response to a playful challenge from the NFL. According to Yahoo Sports, Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey posted a video on social media, along with several teammates, inviting Phelps to visit training camp and give swimming lessons. The group revealed that a surprising number of Ravens players do not know how to swim and cited their new recovery pool as the perfect place for Phelps to step in. Phelps, a lifelong Ravens fan and Baltimore native, didn't miss a beat replying, “I got y'all! Let's do it!” making it clear he'll bring his champion expertise to the gridiron. Such an offer aligns perfectly with the mission of the Michael Phelps Foundation, which remains active in providing swim lessons and promoting water safety across the country. The video got traction on platforms like Instagram, with fans amused by the unexpected blend of NFL and Olympic royalty and further cemented Phelps' role as a benevolent figure in athlete development and public wellness.Phelps' investment activities also featured prominently in sports business news. Unrivaled, the three-on-three women's basketball league co-founded by WNBA stars and backed by Phelps as an early investor, announced its new valuation at $340 million after an oversubscribed Series B investment round led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with notable support from Serena Williams and Alex Morgan's venture firms. SportsPro Media and The Gist report that the league's rapid growth—multiplying its valuation nearly tenfold in just over a year—positions it as one of the most exciting properties in women's sports. Unrivaled is drawing serious financial attention, with star investors like Steph Curry and Giannis Antetokounmpo joining Phelps in championing the athlete-driven business model. The results are strong, reportedly $30 million in revenue from a successful first season and a fast-tracked expansion plan for the next year.Phelps' broader business profile continues to grow through public speaking, foundation work, and diversified investments, as per Edinburgh Letting Centre's recent analysis of his post-pool earnings strategy. On the cultural front, motivational quotes from Phelps continue to circulate, including a popular Threads post late last week stating, “The more you dream the more you achieve,” alongside the hashtag MichaelPhelps. While no major public appearances beyond the Ravens swim challenge have been confirmed in the last few days, industry insiders are watching closely to see if Phelps will take the stage at high-profile gatherings like the upcoming Clinton Global Initiative in New York later this month, but as of now his attendance has not been officially announced. Speculation about future collaborations and business deals remains active, but recent coverage underscores Phelps' ongoing influence both in and out of the water.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Michael Phelps BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Michael Phelps has been everywhere these past few days and the headlines prove it. If you caught any Baltimore Ravens coverage, you could not have missed the viral story of the 23-time Olympic gold medalist teaching Ravens players how to swim. It all started when Marlon Humphrey and several teammates posted a lighthearted plea on Instagram asking for a private Phelps swim clinic. To everyone's surprise, including Humphrey's, the Greatest of All Time not only responded but showed up in person at the Ravens' training camp, turning Loyola University's aquatic center into a scene straight out of a sports movie. Phelps, not above showing a little vulnerability, spoke openly to both the team and to Today show's Craig Melvin about his own childhood fears of water. He also brought in kids from the Boys and Girls Club to join the session, all in support of water safety and the work his Michael Phelps Foundation does. The event came with a meaningful $100,000 donation to the Foundation from the Ravens. According to Today and AOL, Phelps used the spotlight to promote drowning prevention—a mission that, in his words, can save lives and change communities.Business-wise, Phelps' name just popped in major headlines thanks to the meteoric rise of Unrivaled, the women's 3-on-3 basketball league. ESPN reports and Serena Williams herself promote that Unrivaled recently closed a major Series B financing round, launching the league to a whopping $340 million valuation. Phelps is a high-profile investor, which puts him squarely at the center of women's professional sports innovation—an athlete leveraging his influence in ventures well outside the swimming pool. Unrivaled doubled first-season revenue expectations and is moving swiftly on expansion and larger venues, with investors from across the sports world backing its player-centric, equity-minded business.In terms of global appearances, there's buzz building around the annual Clinton Global Initiative meeting in New York City in late September. As of now, there are rumors swirling in organizer circles that Phelps could make an appearance, though as of this week, neither public schedules nor official press releases confirm his participation.Social media, naturally, has lit up with images and videos of Phelps grinning pool-side with the Ravens, while sports media—from clicky gossip columns to ESPN ticker crawls—spotlights his continued role as an advocate, investor, and motivational force. A few international sites murmured about him visiting the Delhi Capitals IPL cricket camp for a quick cameo and pep talk, but details remain sketchy and unconfirmed by Phelps' reps as of today.No scandals or dramatic controversies, just a wave of positive press, charitable impact, and one of the most decorated Olympians proving he's as relevant in business boardrooms as he is beside the pool. If his moves with Unrivaled are any indication, Michael Phelps' post-swimming biography is just hitting its next chapter.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Jeffrey Epstein played a role in the early stages of the Clinton Global Initiative by reportedly providing seed funding and strategic input. According to statements from his legal representatives, Epstein was part of the initial group that helped conceive the foundation and donated $25,000 in 2005, during its formative phase. While the Clinton Foundation has downplayed the relationship, multiple reports have confirmed that Epstein had involvement in early planning discussions and provided financial contributions during the CGI's foundational years, helping to establish its presence as a global philanthropic force.In addition to the monetary support, Epstein also provided logistical and transportation assistance to Bill Clinton, including the use of his private jet on multiple occasions for CGI-related trips to Africa, Asia, and Europe. These flights were not merely coincidental; they aligned with the foundation's outreach efforts and international engagements. Clinton aides have claimed that Secret Service was always present, but flight logs and associated court filings reflect a more intimate relationship than the Clinton camp has publicly acknowledged. Epstein's financial and operational support, though later downplayed, was critical to CGI's launch and early expansion.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonamail.comsource:https://news.yahoo.com/epstein-lawyer-claimed-alleged-pedophile-223701676.html

In this explosive episode of Taking It Back, hosts Adel Nero and Zak "RedPill78" Paine dive headfirst into a week of bombshell revelations. The show kicks off with outrage over the Federal Reserve's $3.1 billion construction project, a price tag now under Trump's direct scrutiny. Zak and Adel question whether Fed Chair Jerome Powell may face legal consequences and explore the deeper agenda behind Trump's unexpected visit to the site. From there, the conversation shifts to the latest declassifications by Tulsi Gabbard, including criminal referrals against Barack Obama and key players behind Russiagate. The duo analyzes how these revelations signal the start of long-awaited accountability, with treason charges looming over the Obama-era intelligence community. They also connect these dots to the ongoing Epstein saga, highlighting subpoenas issued to the Clintons and exposing links to the Clinton Global Initiative. From Hillary Clinton's email thumb drives to whispers of Christopher Wray playing a sleeper role, this episode is packed with speculation, hard-hitting analysis, and big-picture context. Whether you believe justice is finally being served or still have doubts, this one will keep you thinking long after it ends.

Columbia University agrees to pay a $200 million fine for continuing to push DEI and agrees to clean up the anitsemitism on campus. Five colleges and universities are being investigated for giving monster scholarships to ILLEGAL ALIENS. "The View" co-hosts diagnose the alleged Epstein Cover Up that they believe Trump's DOJ is running to protect Trump from being connected to the serial pedophile. Curiously, however, it seems Bill Clinton was far more connected, and that Epstein co-founded and FUNDED the Clinton Global Initiative that sold influence around the world.

Ghislaine Maxwell launched the TerraMar Project in 2012 as a nonprofit organization focused on ocean conservation, promoting a vision of a borderless oceanic community. Despite its high-profile branding and appearances at global events, including presentations linked to the Clinton Global Initiative, TerraMar never conducted any significant conservation work, issued no grants, and relied almost entirely on loans from Maxwell herself. The organization was more visible in elite social circles than in environmental efforts, leading critics to view it as a vanity project or reputational shield rather than a functional charity.Maxwell's connection to the Clintons added another layer of scrutiny, as she attended events alongside Chelsea Clinton and aligned TerraMar rhetorically with the Clinton Foundation's global agenda. Though there is no direct evidence of wrongdoing involving the Clintons, the association raised questions once Maxwell's ties to Jeffrey Epstein became the focus of federal investigations. Following Epstein's arrest in 2019, Maxwell abruptly shut down the TerraMar Project, prompting speculation that the organization may have been used to launder image rather than create impact. The swift closure only intensified suspicions that TerraMar was less about protecting the oceans and more about maintaining proximity to power.(commercial at 13:41)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/14/style/ghislaine-maxwell-terramar-boats-jeffrey-epstein.html

It might be Liberation Day today, but according to Paul Rice, founder of US Fair Trade and author of Every Purchase Matters, Trump's tariffs are dumb. Rice firmly distances Fair Trade from Trump's controversial trade policies, calling them "backward" and "bad for American business." He explains how Fair Trade - which has expanded beyond coffee to include 40 products, from produce to furniture - certifies products through rigorous standards ensuring workers receive fair wages and environmental protections. Every purchase does indeed matter. And, in contrast with Trump's short sighted tariffs, Rice's Fair Trade movement is worth celebrating today. Five Key Takeaways * Fair Trade is fundamentally different from Trump's tariff policies - Rice strongly distinguishes between Trump's "big stick diplomacy" approach to trade and Fair Trade's focus on equitable market transactions that benefit workers and the environment.* Fair Trade certification involves rigorous standards - Products earn certification through a 200-point checklist covering social, labor, and environmental criteria, with independent annual audits ensuring compliance.* Sustainable products don't necessarily cost more - Rice challenges the "fallacy" that ethical products must be more expensive, citing companies like NatureSuite that have adopted Fair Trade standards without raising consumer prices.* The Fair Trade movement is expanding rapidly - What began with coffee has grown to encompass approximately 40 product categories including tea, produce, apparel, furniture, and even cosmetics, with fresh produce being the fastest-growing segment (32% growth last year).* Ethical consumption is a form of everyday activism - Rice promotes the idea that Every Purchase Matters, suggesting consumers can "vote for change" through their purchasing decisions rather than waiting for political elections.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Raised with a deep sense of compassion for the poor, Paul has spent 40 years fighting poverty and environmental destruction. The quintessential social entrepreneur, this passion led him to develop innovative models that harness the power of consumers and business to improve people's lives and protect the planet. Paul launched Fair Trade USA (formerly known as TransFair USA) in late 1998 in a one-room warehouse in downtown Oakland, California. Under his leadership, Fair Trade USA became the leading certifier of Fair Trade products in North America, enlisting the support of over 1,700 major brands and retailers who sell everything from coffee and chocolate to apparel and seafood. By 2024, the organization and its partners had generated over $1.2 billion in cumulative financial impact for over 1 million farmers, workers and their families in 70 countries worldwide. Before founding Fair Trade USA, Paul worked with family farmers for 11 years in the highlands of Nicaragua, where he founded and led the country's first Fair Trade organic coffee export cooperative. This deep, firsthand experience with the transformative impact of Fair Trade in the lives of farmers and their communities ultimately inspired him to return to the United States with the dream of mainstreaming the movement in this country.

TrishRegan #news Full Episode 5-33 Lester Holt joins Joy Reid on the unemployed list. The longtime host of the NBC signature program “Nightly News” is leaving his post, as Joy Reid and others learn their fates. New video today of Joy Reid sobbing and claiming “my show had value”… I would dispute that. Meanwhile, my friend Dan Bongino is heading to the FBI! Trish says this means big trouble for the Clintons and Hunter… Kash plus Dan is quite a combo. From Russia, Russia, Russia to the Clinton Global Initiative - it's all on the table. And Dan, like Kash, knows his stuff. Dan Bongino, for what it's worth, also happens to have been Hillary Clinton's former Secret Service detail -- and he's not a fan. President Trump says the war in Ukraine is coming to and end - we have the latest from the White House and… The Philadelphia Eagles may still be heading to Washington DC to meet with the President and celebrate their win. (Could their mayor just learn to spell the team name first?) Those stories and more in today’s live edition of The Trish Regan Show.

Ghislaine Maxwell founded the TerraMar Project in 2012, presenting it as a nonprofit dedicated to ocean conservation. The organization gained prominence through Maxwell's speeches at venues like the United Nations and TEDx, and it showcased its commitment to advancing Sustainable Development Goals at the Clinton Global Initiative. However, despite its high-profile endorsements, TerraMar's financial records reveal minimal charitable activity; between 2012 and 2017, the organization distributed no grant money and incurred unusually high accounting and legal fees for its size. These discrepancies have led to scrutiny over the organization's true purpose and its connections to influential figures, including the Clintons.The revelation that Ghislaine Maxwell's nephew, Alexander Djerassi, secured a job in Hillary Clinton's State Department reeks of the very elitist nepotism and corruption that has allowed figures like Maxwell and Epstein to thrive unchecked for decades. That someone so closely tied to an international sex-trafficking ring was quietly placed in a sensitive government position dealing with Middle East policy is not just a coincidence—it's a glaring indictment of the political class's willingness to reward the well-connected, regardless of their associations. How does a family so deeply entangled in one of the most egregious abuse scandals of modern history produce a government insider under a top U.S. official without raising alarms? The Clintons have long been suspected of running in the same circles as Epstein and Maxwell, and this revelation only fuels further doubt about their claims of distance from the scandal.The fact that Djerassi was given a role of influence in foreign policy—where intelligence connections, backdoor dealings, and covert operations are routine—should be more than enough reason for serious scrutiny. Yet, predictably, there has been no mainstream media uproar, no demands for an investigation, and no accountability. If the roles were reversed, and this was a Trump administration official linked to such a disgraceful network, the media would be in full meltdown mode. Instead, those in power simply act as if these connections are meaningless, hoping the public either forgets or never notices. But people are noticing, and the question remains—how many other well-connected figures with ties to Epstein and Maxwell have quietly infiltrated key institutions, protected by their elite status and their ability to keep secrets?to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Being a change-maker in the humanitarian space is universally understood to be driven by the desire to help others. Equally, a love of travel and being motivated by difficult and hard to manage problems can be a huge benefit to working in the sector. Thanks to parents who were avid travellers, and her childhood home in Massachusetts being filled with foreign exchange students, Jocelyn Wyatt grew up curious about the world. After completing a BA in Anthropology at Grinnell College and an MBA from Thunderbird School of Global Management, she was on her way to Washington DC where she got involved in global development work. Her dream career, travelling and doing good, was set. Wyatt is CEO of Alight, a humanitarian organisation where she leads a team of over 3,500 members globally as they work alongside displaced people to co-create high-quality services and programs that address their needs. She’s also the former CEO of IDEO.org, the nonprofit design organisation she co-founded in 2011 after leading IDEO’s social innovation practice, where she spoke widely about how Human Centred Design is changing the social sector. She’s also worked for humanitarian organisations in Kenya and India, is a program advisor to the Clinton Global Initiative, an advisory board member to Marketplace, a board member for Airbnb.org, Whitaker Peace and Development Initiative, and an Aspen Institute First Movers Fellow. Listen in as Vince and Jocelyn discuss being on the ground at IDEO at the birth of Design Thinking, how spending time in cultures very different to her own have shaped her, and how the Human Centred Design Toolkit democratised design.

Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted for her role in Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operations, sought to leverage her connections with influential figures, including former President Bill Clinton, to secure a more lenient sentence. Her defense highlighted her association with the Clinton Global Initiative, where her environmental advocacy organization, the TerraMar Project, was showcased. This connection was presented to portray Maxwell as a person dedicated to philanthropic causes, thereby suggesting she deserved a reduced sentence.Critics argue that such attempts to use high-profile associations as character references are superficial and divert attention from the gravity of the crimes committed. The court ultimately sentenced Maxwell to 20 years in prison, indicating that her social connections and philanthropic endeavors did not mitigate her culpability in the exploitation and abuse of minors. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Bill and Hillary Clinton were once masters of the “dark arts” of politics – spinning history and enriching themselves while running a global charity that became famous as a grift machine. Their skill even had a name: “The Clinton Blur.” Though long out of office himself, former President Bill Clinton is at it again. “The news for GAI is that Bill Clinton is back,” says author Peter Schweizer, whose 2015 bestseller Clinton Cash exposed the financial shenanigans behind the Clinton Global Initiative. “Bill's back, he's mad, and he's mad at me!” Learn more about your ad choices.

Lauded for her songwriting, Ell explores themes of the human condition throughout the EP such as self-doubt, negative self-talk, resilience, and healing. “I've finally reached the point where I have been able to turn my pain into power – not letting it define who I am, but letting it fuel what I want to do and inspire the mark I want to make on the world,” she shares.

Welcome to another impactful episode of Mick Unplugged! Today, we have the honor of hosting Martha and Chris Thomas, founders of the nonprofit "The Defensive Line," which is dedicated to preventing youth suicide, particularly among young people of color. In this episode, we dive deep into the pressing issues of mental health stigma, the importance of community support, and actionable steps to recognize and address mental health struggles.   We discuss societal expectations around masculinity, the significance of showing vulnerability, and how local resources and crisis hotlines like 988 can make a life-saving difference. Martha and Chris also share their personal motivations, inspired by their late daughter Ella, to foster open conversations about mental health and collaborate with organizations like AFSP and Dak Prescott's Faith by Finish. Join us as we explore how comprehensive health encompasses physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being, and hear about their exciting plans to expand their training programs with the Clinton Global Initiative. Plus, learn about the unique impact their workshops and keynotes are having on schools, universities, and communities nationwide. Your unique purpose is your superpower, so tune in, push your limits, embrace your goals, and chase greatness with us today on Mick Unplugged!   Top 3 Questions answered in the episode: How can we recognize the signs of someone struggling with mental health issues and intervene? Discussion Points Notice behavioral changes, isolation, and giving away possessions. Improve awareness and confidence through workshops and panels. How can asking direct questions about suicide help prevent it rather than cause harm? Discussion Points Directly asking about suicidal thoughts can be helpful. Role plays are used to reduce discomfort and improve response readiness. What role do tailored strategies for people of color play in dealing with mental health crises? Discussion Points Suicide increasingly affects communities of color. Utilize community leaders and organizations to provide customized support.   Takeaways Mental health impacts not just individuals but entire communities. Open conversations about mental health can reduce stigma. Taking action after a tragedy can lead to meaningful change. Connection and listening are vital in supporting those in need. Recognizing signs of mental health struggles is crucial for intervention.   Connect and Discover: LinkedIn:  linkedin.com/in/the-defensive-line Instagram:  Instagram.com/thedefensiveline Facebook:  facebook.com/thedefensiveline Website:  thedefensiveline.org Podcast:  @thedefensiveline1238  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 4:15 I watched Thunder Force on Netflix and loved it. Chandra had to subscribe to ESPN+ due to DirectTV's feud with Disney. She is watching In the Arena with Serena Williams. Royals: Minute 4:15 to 21:00 The last time we recorded the Sussexes had arrived in Colombia. They pulled off that trip like professionals and the optics were amazing. Colombia's Vice President Francia Marquez said that Harry and Meghan's visit really highlighted tourism. We heard that it only cost Colombia less than $60,000 to provide security for them. The Sussexes did a great job making photos available to agencies. Emily Andrews let it slip that Buckingham Palace had talking points about this trip. King Charles went to Southport last week to visit the families of children who were murdered in a knife attack. Charles has been staying in Scotland at his smaller home, Birkhall, while other members of the family stay at Balmoral. Kate was seen headed to church there on August 25th. There was a story in GB News that Zara and Mike Tindall were being asked to relieve Prince William and Princess Kate. There's an undercurrent that William and Kate are incapable of doing their jobs. Prince Harry made a secret visit to the UK last week to go to his uncle Robert Fellowes' funeral. Harry stayed at Althorp with the Earl Spencer. You could tell that the Windsors were super mad they didn't know about Harry's visit ahead of time. The Windsors are mad at how much the Spencers support Harry. There's been a narrative in the British press that Harry wants to come back to the UK to do royal work. It's clearly coming from William's side. This narrative has been pushed by William for years. Chandra thinks this storyline is an attempt to distract from what's going on with Kate. Toward the end of this month Prince Harry is going to be in New York solo for UN climate week. He's going to speak at the Clinton Global Initiative. Prince William will not be going to NY on behalf of Earthshot despite pathetically trying to copykeen Harry's trip last year. We wonder why William and Kate didn't do any events during the Sussexes' trip. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: Minutes 21:00 to 31:30 This week both Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt premiered their movies at the Venice Film Festival. Angelina is starring as opera star Maria Callas in the biopic Maria. She is getting Oscar buzz for that and it's coming out on Netflix. Braad is starring with George Clooney in the Apple streaming movie Wolfs. It was supposed to come out in theaters but that's not happening. Brad Pitt made his red carpet debut with Ines de Ramon. Brad and Angelina are covering People Magazine this week with the title “Brad and Angelina, their 8 year divorce, Can they Finally Move On,” as if Brad's legal battle against Angelina is mutual. The whole narrative comes from Brad and it's the same garbage we've seen from him for years as he uses legal means to continue to try and punish Angelina for leaving him after he abused her and their children. Brad Pitt looks pulled and puffy recently. There's been a shift in public perception about Brad Pitt, especially since Shiloh changed her last name. Comments of the week: Minutes 31:30 to end Chandra's comment of the week is from It Really Is You, Not Me on the post about Justin Theroux's engagement. My comments of the week are from HeatherC and Indica on Rosie's post about Oasis potentially adding US dates to their tour. Thanks for listening bitches!
