Chrisbeks: Breitbart has far better credibility than fake news CNN. And you don't even need Breitbart to confirm Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib's anti jewish Israeli and pro hamas and pro terrorist stance. The examples are all over the internet
I have read their comments. It is the right wing just being oversensitive and telling lies on these women.
nelsonoba: SINCE YOU LIKE EVIDENCE, READ AND WATCH IT BELOW. Asides the fact you are about to read and watch below, The 4 congresswomen have consistently joined people denigrating the American flag and national anthem and calling them "symbols of oppression". If you hate a country's flag and anthem, then why did you choose to come live in that country? Why then did you decide to stand for elections in that country? As a matter of fact, when Rashida Tlaib was sworn in to congress, at the party she held, she put up Palestinian flags instead of American flag. Was she elected to serve Palestine or America? If you so hate America, then GET OUT! AND GO BACK TO THE COUNTRY YOU LOVE!
On Monday, President Donald Trump defended his criticisms of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and the far-left “Squad,” and claimed that Omar had praised Al Qaeda, the terrorist organization responsible for the Sep. 11, 2001 attacks. Trump said:
I mean, I look at the one — I look at Omar — I don’t know, I never met her. I hear the way she talks about al Qaeda. Al Qaeda has killed many Americans. She said, “You can hold your chest out, you can — when I think of America…huh…when I think of al Qaeda, I can hold my chest out.” When she talked about the World Trade Center being knocked down, “Some people.” You remember the famous “some people.” These are people that, in my opinion, hate our country.
…
So when — when I hear people speaking about how wonderful al Qaeda is, when I hear people talking about “some people” — “some” people with the World Trade Center — “some people”? No, not “some people.” Much more than “some people.”
…
And politicians can’t be afraid to take them on. A politician that hears somebody, where we’re at war with al Qaeda, and sees somebody talking about how great al Qaeda is — pick out her statement — that was Omar. How great al Qaeda is — when you hear that — and we’re losing great soldiers to al Qaeda.
When you see the World Trade Center gets knocked down, and you see the statements made about the World Trade Center — all the death and destruction — I’ll tell you what: I’m not happy with them.
Omar had an opportunity to clear the air, but declined to condemn Al Qaeda (or communism, another alleged association) at the “Squad” press conference on Monday, saying, “I will not dignify [the claim] with an answer.”
The president appears to have misinterpreted comments Omar made in 2013, in a video that emerged nearly six months ago (and which was ignored by the mainstream media until now, when it could be used to dispute Trump).
As Breitbart News noted in February, the most shocking claim Omar made in the interview with a local Minnesota television program was that U.S. foreign policy was responsible for acts of terrorism such as the Westgate shopping mall terror attack in Nairobi, Kenya, by the Somali terror group Al-Shabaab, who killed 71 people, mostly civilians.
Omar also drew a moral equivalence between radical Islamic terror and “the violence that is done [by] the West,” which she said that the U.S. and other countries had “legitimized.” However, Omar did not actually endorse acts of radical Islamic terror, or praise Al Qaeda or other organizations.
Instead, she complained that American Muslims were expected to denounce those acts of terror, and that the Arabic names of terror groups were emphasized.
In the course of that complaint, she described a class on terrorism that she took at college. Laughing, she described the posture of her professor when he would say the Arabic names of terror groups, saying that “every time the professor said, ‘Al Qaeda,’ he, sort of, like, his shoulders went up.” He did not do the same when describing “the Army,” she said, suggesting the professor was prejudiced.
That appears to be the origin of President Trump’s distorted quote that she said, “When I think of al Qaeda, I can hold my chest out.”
Omar’s remarks can be seen in the video below at 17:00:
Trump was on firmer ground when he criticized Omar’s recent comments about the 9/11 attacks.
In a speech in March to the Los Angeles chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Omar complained about prejudice against Muslims. She said: “CAIR was founded after 9/11, because they recognize that some people did something, and then all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties.”
The phrase “some people did something” was widely interpreted as downplaying the severity of the attacks, as well as the role of radical Islam as the motivation.
CAIR itself has a disturbing record on radical Islam — particularly in Southern California. As Breitbart News noted:
In 2007-8, CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the terror financing trial of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development. That case, in turn, led the FBI to discontinue its work with the organization. In 2009, a federal judge ruled that the government “produced ample evidence to establish” the ties of CAIR with Hamas, the Palestinian terror organization. The United Arab Emirates labeled CAIR a terrorist organization in 2014 (a decision that the Obama administration opposed).
In 2015, CAIR’s Los Angeles director suggested that the U.S. was partly to blame for the San Bernardino terror attack, in which 14 people were killed, due to American foreign policy. CAIR also offered legal assistance to the family of the terrorists who carried out the attack.
Still, minimizing or excusing radical Islamic terror is different — morally and factually — from supporting it outright.
The premise of Trump's rebuke and advise was neither race nor skin color (there are more than 4 women of colour in senate/congress), but on hatred for America.
Someone that hates Jews, eulogizes the Al Qaeda and refuses to disavow them, rallies Muslims against Americans, and raises funds for Muslim Brotherhood affiliated groups, is not fit to have a seat in US congress.
Such a person should simply leave the America s/he hates so much. But they won't. They can't. They don't want to. Yet they want to make America be like the same places they or their ancestors left. They want socialism, communism and/or Sharia in the US. But they have failed and will always fail.
pchukwudi: That vote was made on a partisan line. The American-hating Democrats who also hate Trump were the ones who voted yes to that crap of assertion. Besides the 4 scared house Republicans, the rest told the Democrats a capital NO.
Partisan or non-partisan, it remains an embarrassment for a president that cannot keep quiet (on twitter for that matter) that a majority of the house of reps have voted against his comments.
When the house was a republican majority, did the republicans try this nonsense with obama? No, because he respected himself and always presented a clear message.
tyup: Yeah he's right.....they should all be happy they were born in the US if not
deportation would have been their case
it's really an earthquake helping fall out Muslims from the Middle East fortunately even after helping them they still wount feel you've helped them any slight opportunity to strike your country would be a joyful thing
ion expect trump to be surprised at these guys
pchukwudi: Trump is fighting for ALL Americans. His policies impacts ALL classes of Americans POSITIVELY. Both the blacks and Hispanics now have the lowest unemployment record in US history. Get your facts straight. There more black business now that there has ever been in recent history. Just yesterday or so, the US stock market broke a new record in history. The is had happened severally already in Trump's term.
The people who hate Trump are those who HATED America from the beginning and still hate her now.
The corrupt establishment politicians and their extreme left wing media hated Trump even before he became president. So your Trump did this or that does not stand.
Trump is the most scrutinized and investigated American politician in recent history, yet WITHOUT any incriminating outcome whatsoever. It's all silly innuendos and balderdash. Not even Obama is likely to come clean under such scrutiny. Yet Trump did.
And talking about Huawei, nothing has really changed. The national security restriction is still there. The only reason for the little lax you see is because China has finally begged to get back to the negotiation table on trade and made commitment to buying higher volumes of US agricultural products. They did so in Japan a few weeks ago. And, if you knew Trump, you'd know he's capable of going to any legal length to win. China is no match.
And Trump has more than many different options and dynamics going on at each single moment.
Funny enough, the American House of Reps just voted to condemn Trump's racist comments against the congresswomen.
Washington, DC - The US House of Representatives voted on Tuesday to condemn President Donald Trump's racist tweets against four Democratic congresswomen of colour.
Before the vote, Representative John Lewis, a Democrat and civil rights leader who marched with Martin Luther King Jr in the 1960s, called on members of Congress to "do the right thing" and condemn the president's words.
"The world is watching. They are shocked and dismayed because it seems we have lost our way as a proud and dignified people," the 79-year-old Lewis said.
"I know racism when I see it. I know racism when I feel it. And it has no place in the highest levels of our government," Lewis added.
The House resolution passed by a vote of 240-187 with only four Republicans joining all Democrats and one Independent in favour. The text "strongly condemns President Donald Trump's racist comments that have legitimised and increased fear and hatred of new Americans and people of colour".
Trump tweeted on Sunday that four congresswomen of colour who have been critical of his harsh immigration policies should just "go back" to where they came from.
How far are we with the movie WhatsApp group? I really feel that it would be great to have it. I have been a guest reader on this thread for months now. I can't thank everyone here enough for the movie recommendations that I have gotten.
KoiceReloaded: Another eccentric role. The point being he has rarely (if ever) taken on a normal role ordinary people can relate to. He's in a rot, and needs to branch out to become relevant again.
I understand your point. I think the word is "typecast". He is always the weird character with a deviant dress-code and idiosyncrasies.
oyaskii: Been a very busy week for me and was only able to see just 1 movie and i unfortunately picked "The Professor"...straight to ratings first solid 4/10. Very forgettable movie to say the least. The synopsis was cliché to say the least and i was banking on the brilliance of Johnny Depp to save it but alas the movie was weird and heading nowhere and i just peeped the RT rating and is at 10%. Btw Johnny depp hasn't been in anything good in recent times dunno if it's the Amber heard's issue. This man is a brilliant actor with immense talent..am fearing that he has already peaked.
I think that he was good in Fantastic Beasts; Crimes of Grindelward
It is never too late to learn. There are people older than you that have not even gotten a degree. A cousin of mine graduated at 29.
My advise is that, you should graduate with that 3rd class degree and then start again.
But this time around, you have to work and study harder. I am also saying that you should be working while studying. In your mid 20s, no one would like to be supporting you. You must support yourself as well.
People turn their lives around at 30s. You are still young.
We as Nigerians should stop electing irresponsible leaders that do not care about the populace. Our next set of governors and president should campaign with sound economic plans.
