Radar Online claims George Clooney is “outraged” that Barack Obama set him up and told him to tell Joe Biden to leave the race for the collective good. It seems Barack Obama had him write that op-ed telling Joe it was time for him to go, but then Barack did a disappearing act when Harris-Walz […] The post Hollywood’s Mad at Clooney & Clooney’s Outraged Over Obama appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Iran has promised to aid Syria after rebels took control of the country’s second most populous city, Aleppo. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi traveled to Damascus on Sunday to express support for Syrian President Bashar al Assad’s regime and to affirm support for Assad in Syria’s ongoing civil war. The civil war, which began in 2011, reignited last week when antigovernment troops launched a surprise attack and took control of wide swaths of western Syria. “We firmly support the Syrian army and government,” Araghchi said before leaving for Damascus on Sunday, Iranian state news reported. “The Syrian army will once again be victorious over these terrorist groups as in the past.” The Assad regime has also received help from Moscow. Russian and Syrian fighter jets struck rebel-occupied areas over the weekend, including inside the city of Aleppo. One such strike killed a dozen people in a central part of the city, according to The Guardian. The rebel forces are led by the group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), or the Organization for the Liberation of the Levant. HTS began as Jabhat al-Nusra, an affiliate of the terror group al-Qaeda. The United States designated HTS a terror group in 2018. HTS struck against Assad and the Syrian government because of Assad’s perceived weakness with Russia and Iran both distracted and spending significant resources on separate conflicts, according to Emile Hokayem, senior fellow for Middle East security at the International Institute for Strategic Studies. “This has to do with geopolitics and local opportunity,” Hokayem told The Washington Post. “The rebellion at large had regrouped, rearmed, and retrained for something like this.” Moscow is waging war against Ukraine, and Tehran has suffered significant losses in exchanges with Israel. The terror group Hezbollah in Lebanon has also been a key ally for Assad’s regime in the past, but Hezbollah has been decimated and its leadership all but destroyed by Israel. U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on CNN on Sunday that whether the rebel forces surprise attack in Syria aids U.S. interests in the region remains to be seen. “It’s a complicated question because the group at the vanguard of this rebel advance, HTS, is actually a terrorist organization designated by the United States. So, we have real concerns about the designs and objectives of that organization,” Sullivan said when asked about U.S. interests in the region. “At the same time, of course, we don’t cry over the fact that the Assad government – backed by Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah – you know, are facing certain kinds of pressure. So, it’s a complicated situation, it’s one we are monitoring closely, and we are staying in close touch with regional partners about it.” National Security Adviser @JakeSullivan46 tells @kasie that the surprise rebel offensive in Syria is the “natural result” of Russia and Iran’s “weaker strategic position.” pic.twitter.com/6xkMI6c8AO — State of the Union (@CNNSOTU) December 1, 2024

President Joe Biden celebrated Dr. Anthony Fauci, a divisive former government health official, as a “true hero” at the White House on Sunday. The shout out took place as Biden delivered remarks during an event to commemorate World Aids Day on the South Lawn, prompting a round of applause from the audience. JUST IN: President Joe Biden salutes Dr. Anthony Fauci during a World AIDS Day speech. “And you're a good man. God love you. As my mother would say, God love you, Anthony.”pic.twitter.com/alhLzbsswi — Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) December 1, 2024 “A special thanks to one of the great public health officials. A true hero who had led this fight against HIV/AIDS: Dr. Anthony Fauci,” Biden said. He then gave a hand salute to Fauci and continued: “And you’re a good man. God love you. As my mother would say, God love you, Anthony.” The comments drew mockery and condemnation from critics of Fauci, some of whom hearkened back to the AIDS epidemic as well as the COVID pandemic, and Biden. “If you’ve done even a little digging into Fauci’s role in the AIDS crisis then you know he’s absolutely hated by the people who lost loved ones due to his mismanagement of the crisis. He had protestors outside his offices during the crisis too,” conservative activist Robby Starbuck said on X. “Dementia is tragic,” molecular biologist Richard Ebright responded to Biden in a post to X. Ebright also said: “Fauci provably violated federal policies on gain-of-function and enhanced potential pandemic pathogen research, provably committed conspiracy to defraud and perjury, and probably is culpable for pandemic that killed 20+ million and cost $25+ trillion.” Tom Fitton, president of conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, simply declared: “Fauci should be under criminal investigation.” Among those who approved what Biden did was Democrat influencer Harry Sisson. “President Biden praised Dr. Fauci as a ‘a true hero’ today, which is the TRUTH! Dr. Fauci is an American hero, and his contribution to medicine has changed the world for the better. Thank you, Dr. Fauci!” Sisson said on X. Fauci, a longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), advised former (and future) President Donald Trump Biden before retiring at the end of 2022. During a CBS interview in June, Fauci hesitated to assess whether Trump was fit to lead, but stated “absolutely” when pressed about Biden — who had not yet dropped out of the 2024 presidential race amid growing concerns about his mental state and electability.

President Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he signed a pardon for his son, Hunter Biden, despite repeated denials that he would ever do so. The pardon was issued before Hunter Biden, 54, was expected to be sentenced for gun and tax evasion crimes later in December. He was facing the potential for prison time. “No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son – and that is wrong,” President Biden said. The elder Biden and the White House had denied on multiple occasions, dating back to last year, that the president had intended to give his son Hunter Biden a pardon. “We’ve been asked that question multiple times and our answer stands — which is no,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in early November. Hunter Biden faced charges following the 2023 collapse of what critics panned as a “sweetheart” plea deal in the investigation led by special counsel David Weiss President Biden bemoaned how the plea agreement “unraveled” with “a number of my political opponents in Congress taking credit for bringing political pressure on the process.” The elder Biden also insisted: “Had the plea deal held, it would have been a fair, reasonable resolution of Hunter’s cases.” This story is breaking and will be updated.
