Somebody needs to call Mrs. Horowitz, and ask her to light a fire under his ass
Just a guess, but any woman who goes by the name Mrs. Horowitz can probably do battle with the best of 'em.
The Daily Mail's photographers are stalking the hell out of the Obamas on their luxury vacation in Provence
Sasha and Malia don't look too enthused in pic related at the region's famous antiques market
Barack and Malia went on a HIKE (I legit did not know any black people hiked)
They toured a wine chateau
#stuffwhitepeopledo
They go high! Barack Obama and his daughter Malia make the most of the sunshine while enjoying hike in the Provence mountains - but Michelle and Sasha seem to have skipped the trek
Barack, 57, and Malia, 20, hiked the mountain terrain near Gordes, a commune in France's Provence-Alpes-CĂ´te d'Azur region
The former president's wife Michelle, 55, and youngest daughter Sasha, 18, didn't appear to be with them on the group outing
It looked like the father and daughter were joined by friends as well as plainclothes Secret Service agents during the hike
The excursion came just one day after Michelle and Malia toured a vineyard in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation in Provence alongside several friends
The Obamas arrived in the south of France on Friday, having traveled to Avignon in a private jet
They are understood to be staying at a luxe $60,000-a-week 18th-century farmhouse on Bathelasse Island

Trump raises $24.8 million in less than 24 hours, RNC says

President Donald Trump raked in nearly $25 million in campaign contributions for his re-election effort in less than 24 hours, the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee said Wednesday.
“@realDonaldTrump has raised a record breaking $24.8M in less than 24 hours for his re-election,” RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel wrote on Twitter, hours after the president formally launched his 2020 bid the previous evening with a rally in Orlando, Fla.
“The enthusiasm across the country for this President is unmatched and unlike anything we’ve ever seen! #trump2020 #KeepAmericaGreat,” McDaniel continued.
McDaniel did not specify the exact timing of Trump's haul, but if it represents a first-day fundraising total for the campaign, his $24.8 million would nearly quadruple the $6.3 million former Vice President Joe Biden raked in within his initial 24 hours as an announced 2020 White House contender.
Biden, the frontrunner to face Trump in the general election, had topped the expansive field of Democratic presidential hopefuls in first-day contributions. Other leading fundraisers included former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, who collected $6.1 million, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who collected $5.9 million, and California Sen. Kamala Harris, who collected $1.5 million.

TWENNY FOH POINT ATE GORILLION DOLLARIDOOS IN TWENNY FOH AHRS
Mmm, some tasty dirty coming out of Facebook
Some contractor employees are blowing off their NDA's
https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/19/18681845/facebook-moderator-interviews-video-trauma-ptsd-cognizant-tampa
This is a seriously good dig, too long to post here in entirety, just have a look
"… workers told me that they had begun to embrace fringe views after continuously being exposed to conspiracy theories at work. One brought a gun to work to protect himself against the possibility of a fired employee returning to the office seeking vengeance. Others told me they are haunted by visions of the images and videos they saw during their time on the job.
Conditions at the Phoenix site have not improved significantly since I visited. Last week, some employees were sent home after an infestation of bed bugs was discovered in the office — the second time bed bugs have been found there this year. Employees who contacted me worried that the infestation would spread to their own homes, and said managers told them Cognizant would not pay to clean their homes…
…They described a filthy workplace in which they regularly find pubic hair and other bodily waste at their workstations. Employees said managers laugh off or ignore sexual harassment and threats of violence. Two discrimination cases have been filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission since April.
They said marijuana use is so prevalent that the site manager jokingly complained at an all-hands meeting that he had gotten a contact high walking in the door.
More than anything else, the contractors described an environment in which they are never allowed to forget how quickly they can be replaced. It is a place where even Keith Utley, who died working alongside them, would receive no workplace memorial — only a passing mention during team huddles in the days after he passed. “There is no indication that this medical condition was work related,” Cognizant told me in a statement. “Our associate’s colleagues, managers and our client were all saddened by this tragic event.” (The client is Facebook.)…
…In such a system, offices can still look beautiful. They can have colorful murals and serene meditation rooms. They can offer ping pong tables and indoor putting greens and miniature basketball hoops emblazoned with the slogan: “You matter.” But the moderators who work in these offices are not children, and they know when they are being condescended to. They see the company roll an oversized Connect 4 game into the office, as it did in Tampa this spring, and they wonder: When is this place going to get a defibrillator?"

My, what a coincidence that the FORMER prime minister of Italy happened to be in Paris at the same time the FORMER American president was on vacation in the south of France?
I bet that there's "someone" out there who overheard their conversation. Someone with a white hat.
Obama will be staying with the Clooneys in their Lake Como villa next week
https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=it&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fgiornaledisondrio.it%2Fattualita%2Fgli-obama-arrivano-a-laglio-da-george-clooney%2F
(This reads kinda weird on account of jewgle translate, just go with it)
Over the weekend, former US president Barack Obama and his wife Michelle are expected to live in George Clooney's home in Como.
The Obama family arrive in Laglio
It will be an intense weekend for Laglio, the small village on Lake Como where George Clooney has been home for several years. In his home on the Lario, Villa Oleandra , Barack and Michelle Obama are expected. According to rumors, the former president and his wife, close friends of Clooney and his wife Amal Alamuddin, are expected on Saturday and should start again on Sunday.
A touch and escape that is however putting the whole lake in turmoil. If the Municipality could be called upon to manage the logistics, dedicating reserved spaces near Villa Oleandra, it is the Prefecture of Como on the address of the Ministry of the Interior, which will have to manage security and travel. Already today, inspections are scheduled by the police in Laglio, but tomorrow, following a coordination table in the Prefecture, the situation could be better defined.
According to what was possible to know George and Amal would be expected in Laglio already between today and tomorrow to prepare for the reception of the Obama. Of course, the Hollywood couple will host the former president and his wife on a fabulous weekend on Lake Como. On Saturday 22 and Sunday 23, the appointment with the San Giovanni Festival on the Comacina Island is renewed, which foresees the traditional fireworks display on the waters of the lake. Event, apparently, extremely appreciated by Clooney.
Deduction:
The Joseph Mifsud case is before a grand jury.
Or Joseph di Gabriele, if we're considering the massive info dump by Occhionero.

Her hubby Sir Evelyn owns a horse racing at Ascot this week
"The rainy conditions in England will continue at least through the morning hours on Wednesday, so for day two at Royal Ascot the ground will more than likely continue to have some give in it. The feature on the second day of the meet is the Prince of Wales’s Stakes (GIT), a 1 ¼-mile event named in 1892 for the Prince of Wales and now run in honor of the current titleholder, Charles. There was no race during World War II when there was no Prince of Wales, but it was resurrected in 1968, a year before Charles was given the title. Some of the more notable winners of the feature for older distance runners include Dubai Millennium, Bosra Sham, Fantastic Light, Rakti, Ouija Board, Duke of Marmalade, So You Think, The Fugue, Highland Reel and Poet’s Voice a year ago.

This year, a field of eight will break from the gate, including Sir Evelyn de Rothschild’s King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes (GIT) winner Crystal Ocean, who won last year’s Hardwicke Stakes (GIIT) over this course during this meet."

Holy shit, cops are STILL searching that container ship in Philly
Could still be another 30 TONS on board
Gaaaah
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/philadelphia-drug-bust-ship-feds-seized-billion-dollars-of-cocaine-could-have-30-tons-more-on-board/
Investigators in Philadelphia continue to search the cargo ship where they found more than 17 tons of cocaine Tuesday in what's being called one of the biggest drug busts in U.S. history. Officials told CBS News there could be 30 tons more on board.
What they've found so far amounts to more than 34,000 pounds of cocaine with a street value of over a billion dollars. Officials say seven containers on the cargo ship were carrying the drugs.
The ship's second mate and a crew member have been arrested and charged, admitting they helped load the cocaine onto the ship from more than dozen other boats while at sea.
The MSC Gayane had traveled from Chile to Peru, heading from Panama and the Bahamas before docking in Philadelphia. It was on its way to the Netherlands next.
The ship is owned by the Mediterranean Shipping Company, which said in a statement, "unfortunately, shipping companies are from time to time affected by trafficking problems. MSC has a longstanding history of cooperating with law enforcement."
Law enforcement is expected to give more information Thursday, after a search of containers on the ship is complete.
