George Clooney continues his charitable giving– now half a million dollars to the March for Our Lives. He and wife Amal will make an appearance at the gun control rally. Clooney is an ardent supporter of civil rights in places like Sudan with the still-going Not On Our Watch (They are still giving hundreds of thousands of dollars there to protect the South Sudan). But this may signal a new political move by him by actual going to Washington DC on March 24t.
Oprah Winfrey has just tweeted that she will join the Clooneys in their donation.
Clooney– thanks to the sale of his Casamigas Tequila company for $1 billion– now has the money to put behind causes he and Amal believe in. So this is a big deal but not uncommon for an actor who is passionate about the right causes.They gave $1 million last year to the Southern Poverty Law Center. And they’ve said that in total they will donate $21 million to various causes.
George and Amal’s appearance at March for Our Lives will be key to this movement. He won’t be speaking, however: his rep says only “kids” will be speaking at this event, no adults.
Will Clooney run for president? Last fall when he was promoting “Suburbicon,” Clooney said this: “Would I like to be the next president? Oh, that sounds like fun. Can I just say that I’d like anybody to be the next president of the United States. Right away, please,” he joked.
Clooney, by the way, took in an Iraqi refugee last September in Kentucky. The refugee is now a student at the University of Chicago. Clooney said at the time: “He was on this bus to Mosul, and ISIS shot the two bus drivers and said, ‘Anybody who wants to go to college, we will shoot them,’ ” says Clooney. “He survived and came to America. He got through all the checks, and once he got through those, it was like, ‘Listen, we got your back. You want to get an education? You want to move your life forward? This is something that we can do.’ ”
Here’s the mission statement: March For Our Lives is created by, inspired by, and led by students across the country who will no longer risk their lives waiting for someone else to take action to stop the epidemic of mass school shootings that has become all too familiar. In the tragic wake of the seventeen lives brutally cut short in Florida, politicians are telling us that now is not the time to talk about guns. March For Our Lives believes the time is now.
The March For Our Lives statement from George Clooney
“Amal and I are so inspired by the courage and eloquence of these young men and women from Stoneman Douglas High School.
Our family will be there on March 24 to stand side by side with this incredible generation of young people from all over the country, and in the name of our children Ella and Alexander, we’re donating 500,000 dollars to help pay for this groundbreaking event.
Our children’s lives depend on it.”
George C Looney?

WOOT!
I like THAT!
and extremely wealthy now... dangerous mix

Obama: “I’ll bring the Coke, you bring the tender loins!”
Clooney: “Alahwahoo Yackbar!”
(Clooney was Obama’s ex officio representative to the Sudan , which got a lot of Christians killed.Ask Sam Childers.)
Thanks, that’s an original I coined. Wordsmith here.
So this man and his Moslim wife want to become president?
University of Beirut.
This connects Obama’s second in command Valarie Jarret, who grew up in Beirut and whose father was a leftist journalist there?
Don’t quote me, but I seem to recall Jarrett was born in Iran and her father was a doctor?
So this man and his Moslim wife want to become president?>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Yes. And we will then have a 1st Shady.
The egocentric pomposity of Hollywood knows no bounds.
As Shakespeare said: “ All the World is a Stage”
But the Constitution is not MacBeth. Thats the problem.
I wonder how many bushels of North Korean bullets Clooney can chew?
Well, lets see if the DNC left will use Clooney to their advantage. The left has a strangle hold on the Dem Party.
That battle could prove interesting.Bernie is still in the mix.
Looking for the best we can from these liberal idjits, perhaps the best we can hope for is that Clooney’s entry will destroy the Alinsky left, but then he may be a part of it. Hard to say at this point.
Clooney and his politically correct wife would destroy America.
What a pair...she keeps allah happy and he does what the UN tells him.
What a pair...she keeps allah happy and he does what the UN tells him.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
You have given birth to a new word in the conservative lexicon:
UNsha’allah:
meaning is the opposite of Insha’alla ( god willing)
means “ undoing allah.”
I often wonder what couples like Weiner and Abedin, Clooney and his Abdullah see in each other.
The both appear to be marriages of convenience between institutions.
Patience. Remember, MX said the future belongs to those who plan for it today' he must have learned that from the imam at the al Azhar university in Cairo where he was instructed in sunni islam before he made the haj, and gave a lecture in Beirut at a venue arranged for him by the Vice President of The University of Beirut...who was a relative of the famous babysitter in Seattle.
Arabs can wait. And they'll keep trying. The majority of member countries of the UN seem to be on their side...
Well, before Ali Baba and his 40 thieves are elected to the White House, we will have to add a minaret to the Rose Garden, and realize that we will not only have a 1st shady, but also a 2nd , 3rd and 4th 1st shady as well, provided they don’t all join the “me too” movement.
Oh how I can hardly wait to hear the call to prayer wafting out over Washington, D.C. at 6 am each morning!
HAAAAAAALAL Snackbar!
I wanna see that Ginsberg woman in a burqa!
