The Obamas' never-ending vacation: Tropical Bali edition

Monica Showalter  "As Obama once suggested: At some point, how much before you've had enough?

"Well he's showing for us, that for Obamaville, there's nothing that's ever enough.

"Taking what must be something like his tenth post-presidential vacation (while Valerie Jarrett mans the Deep State fort back in Kalorama), because Palm Springs, the Bahamas, Hawaii, Tahiti, Italy, Germany, (and probably some others) just weren't enough, he, Michelle and the kids blew into the leafy green center of Bali, the highland town of Ubud, home of all the lush pretty tropical cultural stuff the island is known for. " . . .

"It stands in stark contrast to his spin upon leaving office - that he would focus on mentoring the inner city black youth and tend to the high school education of his daughter Sasha (who at least was allowed on the trip this time.) And it's quite a change from his claim that "at some point, you've had enough.' We guess he hasn't.

"In reality, he's doing to the max what many retired politicians and other operatives do - getting the whole trip paid for and the tax deductions in place by claiming the visit is a business trip - based on giving a token speech - in his case, in nearby Jakarta to the Indonesian diaspora (a group he has never cared about until now), taking a fat payout, and then writing the whole thing off." . . . 

ISIS female enforcer dubbed 'crocodile jaws' for biting women who break the terror group's 'modesty code' has her teeth smashed by vigilantes in Iraq

UK Daily Mail   "A woman working for ISIS known as 'crocodile jaws' has had her teeth shattered in a revenge attack after she bit hundreds of women deemed to be violating modesty laws.

"The woman was reportedly ambushed outside her house in the northern Iraqi town of Hawija, Kirkuk as revenge for biting more than 200 women.

"She was a 'biter' for ISIS's female vigilante division, tasked with savagely chomping on the hands of other women accused of disobeying the group's moral code.

" 'That woman had bitten more than 200 women. She is from Mosul and had worked with the group for three years,' Iraqi News quoted a source as saying." . . . 

Islamic State militants had appointed a women vigilantism division whose members would brutally bite the hands of civilian females who violated the group’s extremist modesty code.

Southwest L.A. loves 'Obama Boulevard' proposal but wonders: 'Why not a major street?'

LA Times

" 'Even though it runs through the heart of L.A’.s Baldwin Hills/Crenshaw neighborhood, most Angelenos would be hard pressed to locate Rodeo Road on a map.

"In fact, they’d probably point to its ritzy doppelganger — Beverly Hills’ Rodeo Drive — instead.

"That may change very soon, however.

"Residents here are cheering a proposal to rename the asphalt thoroughfare in honor of former President Obama, who visited here when he was a U.S. senator.

"The news that southwest L.A.'s Rodeo Road may soon be renamed “Obama Boulevard" was received positively by residents of the surrounding Crenshaw district.

" 'I'm so happy, that would be wonderful," said Robbi Work, 60.

"A retired former prosecutor, Work was even wearing a shirt emblazoned with the former president's face when she learned of the proposal to rename the road Obama Boulevard.

" 'They were wonderful, he and Michelle," Work said.

"The street, a 31/2-mile residential strip in a predominantly African American community, is flanked on both sides by squat one- and two-story houses and gated communities. The road is also home to Dorsey High School, Baldwin Hills Elementary school and Rancho Cienega Sports Center and Park — where Obama held a campaign rally when he was running for president." . . .
