Oh spare me that narcissistic bullsh1t, why do think people discussing politics means they are going frenzy about it, stop projecting your feelings on people, I talk about politics a lot be it in Nigeria or elsewhere for one thing I try understand how different systems works, mostly times I get myself involved to learn.
On the contrary, you were the one that was projecting his feelings. Why do you think that people who don't agree with your views and spend lots of time offline doing better things are having sleepless night and pained by some early poll figures simply because they delay in replying to your post?

Sleepless night? I'm not like some of you here who spend more than half of the day rummaging through nairaland. I have better things doing offline that require much of my time than engaging kids that resort to stone throwing when they have no logical rebuttal during a discussion.

I don't care (neither would my preference make any difference) about who becomes American next president, so long as that "erratic Trump" or "sleeping joe" doesn't escalate US crazy and devilish foreign policy to the level that would end up consuming all of us in a nuclear annihilation.

Posting some poll results and figures from early voting won't change anything until the D-day comes and go. I don't fantasize in delusions.

Its funny how you jumped into this thread forming neutrality and suddenly your annoyance is with liberals, the pseudo conservatives here have been predicting a landslide but guess that went under your radar, mind you the excitement with high numbers is because last time people didn't really turn up and liberals felt it cost them

And what makes you think anyone opposing trump is immigrant or even pro immigration, how can you look at Trump and only problem you see is immigration, you didn't see threat to democracy? threat to human lives especially with healthcare? you think Republicans who are opening denouncing him are about immigration?
Reality is the rudest awakening to the delusional minds laden with warped beliefs that thrive on extremism. Anything extreme is a hostis humanis generis that must be called out where necessary. And yes, if it's liberals exhibiting such extreme foolhardy, I will call them out, and if it's the conservative types that exhibit same, I will also call them. That is exactly what I have done here several times, and I owe no one any apology.

I see you're new here, so I can understand your misconception that I'm ONLY attacking liberals is misguided. Go back some pages of this thread and you will see where I attacked Trump recently in the wake of the Floyd's mass protest. So, if you think because you or anyone here are liberals and no one should critic your views, sorry, not me. I will call a spade a spade anytime, any day without apology. And I don't care about the name calling cause the truth is treason in the empire of lies. So my friend Lucasbalo can go on insulting me. I'm Appleyard, and I have no violent or tantrums stones in my analytical vineyard. cool

Yes, not everyone that critic Trump are immigrants, but heaven knows that the majority of them here are immigrants who simply do not like the man on that purpose.

Threat to democracy? Don't make me laugh. What is democracy? Define it and compare it to American system of election, then come back and let us reason together. The emergence and exploit of Donald Trump is just a confirmation of the fact that America's elective system is a sham. Blame the system, not the man. By the way, can you explain how Trump is a threat to democracy? Just want to learn.

Don't mind these libidiots who can't reason, 30 million have voted for for biden, 22 million have voted for biden in PA, etc talk, na November 4th I dey wait for una, idiot people.
Don't be too hard on them, brother. I understand the mental masturbation occurring in the head of some of these brothers. It's a natural phenomenon among immigrants who would prefer a government that doesn't clamp down on open borders nor smirks at immigrants. So, It's normal. But, my only gripe with them is the deviation into pure insane reasoning caused by their extreme liberalism. Anything extreme does not only cloud one's judgment, but also dangerous to one's health. It's mental masturbation when you see folks deciding the outcome of an election by early voting, forgetting that the highest numbers of vote cast don't even determine the winner in this case. Yes, it's good to be optimistic but keeping a balance mind will save you from mental heartaches should things turn out to be contrary to expectations.

More than 75 percent of the 437,000 mailed-in ballots in Pennsylvania have been from Democrats, while half of absentees in Florida have been blue, compared to just a third Republican.
I really do not have the stomach to engage anyone on this thread anymore , cause this is the thread on Nairaland with the most illogical and extremely emotional thinkers of all time. In here, those who are conservative are dangerously conservatives while the liberals are even more liberal than the devil himself. I'm the man in the middle - an unapologetic REALIST.

Going through the thread today, i felt the need to add a little comment to what you just said.. While everyone is entitled to their opinion, I find it disappointing and sad that some of my brothers who emigrated from this pathetic country of ours to live in the US are still overwhelmingly relying on straws. How can any logical thinking person beat his chest that victory is sealed already by virtue of early mailed-in votes in an electoral system where a presidential candidate can win the popular vote and still end up losing the election? Sometimes, I don't understand some of us. Why not wait till when the final toll is called. The electoral college system is the definition of aberration when it comes to democracy, the government of the majority. So, any body who is celebrating that Biden has won already when the real deal is yet to call is not only a dreamer but a sleepwalking one for that matter.

I will just call it a day here so I can find time to go put on my generator and watch the latest from EndSARS protest rocking my corrupt fatherland while awaiting the kids in here to rain curses on me for being factual.

Adieu.

illitrate:
Yet the Russians and the Chinese are still scrambling to build their stealth planes. Russia once said stealth is trash but see them now trying to build stealth drones and planes.

Let me remind you some f35 last week hit iranian bases in iran undetected. google it.


https://www.timesofisrael.com/report-israeli-cyberattack-caused-iran-nuclear-site-fire-f35s-hit-missile-base/
Dreams.

Stealth technology was known to Russia way before the west came to know about it. The reason they did not prioritize it was because it serve no crucial strategic deterrence. And even now, it doesn't as well. The only reason the Ruskies are into stealth planes now is just to maintain an atmosphere of relevance and balance, not a strategic edge. Everyone of the key powers know that stealth is an illusion but good for military showmanship.

You are deceived if you really believe in that fake news of F35 breaching Iranian airspace cool. I don't even have to comment on that.

tactically Iran is better than US, but US has more advanced weapons, imagine 20 b-2 spirit bombers dropping unguided bombs on Iranian air bases
Uhhh... B-2 Spirit of Missouri--you mean the stealth plane that has only dropped five bombs in all of its career? If a Serbian is reading this, he would just be smiling and rubbing his Jaws with emphatic memories of 1997 Serbian vs US/NATO war and the famous stealth-killing, old Soviet SAM.

My friend, stealth technology in the modern age is only effective against third world nations, not against a competitive military powerhouse like Iran or Korea. Iran has already proved that fact by downing the most secretive and advanced stealth drones in the US and Israeli aerial ansenals that breached its airspace. Stealth is overhyped.

Keep believing in your wishful thinking, the reality is far more beyond your delusional disorder. If you are so sure of Iranian fire power relocate to Iran when the time comes and know what's up. Idiot comparing war of 1915 to firepower of 2020
America is stronger and more advanced than Iran in every sense of the word "power". But, unfortunately, sheer power and military might isn't the ultimate determining factor that guarantee victory in warfare. You may want to ask history and man's unchanged nature.

Brothers, war is war, whether fought in the stone age or jet age. Two immutable factors underlines success in war, especially one on a major scale, and these factors are WILL and COSMIC order of things (the supernatural powers above us). If these two runs against you, you and your superpower status will just end up fighting a war you can never win.

Foreign AffairsRe: U.S. Senate To Vote On Whether To Purchase Russia’s Legendary S-400 Missile De.. by Appleyard(m): 6:36pm On Jul 04, 2020
Jimi24:
There are is O level and A level strategies in strategic intelligence management.
O level is to think that the US wants to buy the missile from Turkey to copy the tech or counter it.
A level is to know that they are making 'noise' about what should be secret in order to cover up that they already have the info they want on that missile and are trying to confuse everyone to protect the source OR they have decided not to sell F35 to Turkey and just looking for flimsy excuse to cancel. Turkey knows they cannot sell that missile.
There is nothing really secret about the S-400 SAM defence system that the US don't already know per se. The system comes straight out of the old and modified version of the S-300, which is a very capable defence system that America knows very much about. Here is the reality: the Yankees have already tried the S-400 system in Syria and with a rude awakening, they've realised that it sharply reduces America's key advatange in air superiority by 70 percent in traditional warfare, as the system renders planes with stealth technology useless. That was the sole reason the Turkish military pushed erdogan to buy the system from Russia at all cost, even to the extent of damning their relationship with the U.S and foregoing their huge investment in the F35 programm.

Turkish military leaders and and strategic planners were aware of the chess game being played over the sky of Syria by US and Russia forces testing out each other's capabilities. They witnessed first hand how the S-400 was "painting" every US planes flying in the East of the Euphrates, and sadly, that include the F22 raptors cool packed in the Icirlik airbase in Turkey.

So, the Turk's weighed their options and concluded that it is useless committing billions to a stealth plane (the F35 overrated flying coffin) which cannot hide from a Russian SAM system that is far less per unit of product when compared to a regiment of the planes. So they went for what was best for their strategic interest.

Other countries in the Middle East are aware of this reality also, and a number of them are already queueing up to buy the S-400 too, which isn't good for Uncle Sam.

As for the US, they know there is nothing they can do concerning the capability of the S-400, other than to acualize the effect of CAATSA through maximum pressure with the hope that it will dissuade other prospective buyers of Russian weaponry from future acquisition as it poses a serious threat to US superiority in traditional areas of warfare. Buying 4th he system from Turkey to study it is not the major theme here because they know quite well that the export version is totally different from the original one operated by the Russian Air Force. Besides, the Russians could easily fry the system during key combats. So, the only way out is to maximum dissuasion.

That is what all these Senate hearing and proposed buying of the SAM from Turkey represents. The US already knew the sam capabilities and the only way around it is to prevent many countries from acquiring it because it does not only serve as a major threat to US air dominance but a potential market killer for its F35 and future stealth plane market.

quote author=Kobojunkie post=91003917Following your explanation above of the use of the Greek word 'kai', am I to conclude that everywhere else the word 'kai' is used, I can simply ignore the word following the conjunction in the English translation?
For instance, .

should instead read....
As we can see, water and Spirit are not considered the same here, as the Spirit is said to testify to Jesus Christ's coming, where the water does not seem to have that power to do the same.
undecided undecided undecided




Oh, I understand. It's not in all cases that you ignore the word following anywhere the word "kai" is used. Generally, context, common sense, structural hint, and an overall sense of scripture and author's intent are the best guides. In the verse you quoted above, water and blood are not one and the same. The water refers to the Jesus's divinity or his "begotteness" while blood refers to his humanity or being born of a woman.

I'll explain further in the coming days. Hope this helps.
The problem with people is trying to interpret God's word to suit their understanding according to the laws of English.. Why not just take the words as they are and grasp the intent instead of trying to please our understanding in line with lexical construction.

That's the danger of addictive masturbation: it opens the door to spiritual spouses who can look like normal humans but are in reality demons!

Getting rid of spiritual spouses involves a lot of repentance, fasting and prayers.

Keep away from all forms of sexual sin to stay delivered.

Btycoon:
Good morning to you all. Am a regular here even though I don't comment but I read what I could on this platform. I am seriously in need of help from any angle on what I can do to solve this big problem am facing.

There is this lady have been dating for the past 7years now and due to this long relationship I made my intention known to her so she won't bother about marriage and also finding the right guy again. Now I do have sex with this girl in my dreams whenever I miss her or rather whenever we both miss ourselves,this has never happened to me before. Actually I have been faithful to her and she knows am not cheating and she isn't cheating also to my knowledge, but the continuous sex in dream with her is giving me depression. A Month before lockdown we didn't have anything and since lockdown started we haven't had any chance to meet she resides in Delta while I reside in Lagos due to lockdown and I can't even see her if the lockdown persist.
I thought of leaving her if that would solve the problem but as a man from where I went to for prayers if she would be a good wife and maybe we are compatible I was told she's good and I shouldn't say I want to leave her and also I have lost interest in having sex with any lady I just found her as the best I want.

Before, I used to have sex with her in dream like Ones a month or 3weeks if we didn't meet,now it is now Every week.

please help my life. I have prayed and I am not seeing anything positive yet. And she's the one I do see clearly in my dreams. Am just afraid.

please help me on what I can do and I don't want to masturbate to relieve myself before I sleep due to stories I do read on this platform of people seeking help to cure masturbation, that would be another problem and having sex in dreams usually cause infertility in man's sperm and spiritually means Lost of good things also.



Help me help me!!!! Please help me need advice .
I want to first and foremost commend your boldness for coming out with this confession. Not many people would have done this. And what you didn't know is that, by this single act of open confession, you've shamed the devil and have put one foot into safety in Christ. God loves people who refuse to cover their sins but seek active ways to be freed from its bondage. Proverbs 28:13.

Now, on what you're experiencing, is called soul fragmentation. This happens mostly if you have recurring sexual intercourse with someone that is not rightfully your partner. When that happens, the two blood align and whatever makes up the nature of that person also becomes a part of you subconsciously. That is, if the person has one demonic or abnormal behavioral trait, a part of that trait is copied into your sensual self (soul,) and because this happens in a way that mostly lack physical signals that would have informed you something isn't right, many people become unaware of what transpired when they have premarital or extramarital sex.

The dreams you're frequently having now is as a result of this soul fragmentation. And because it's the girl in question that's the source of the transfer, is the reason why you're seeing her repeatedly in your dreams, instead of random faces.

But here is the catch: the girl in question isn't the one tormenting you. Its a demon of lust and lasciviousness that is at work in your life, using the girl's image as the connecting link because a part of your sensual self is in hers and hers in yours, and that is now your weakness.

The sex marathon you're having in the dream with that demon does much more than just bring you bad luck or loss of money. Yes, in some instances, it does affect your ability to have children here in the real life, especially if you start noticing that you are discharging spermatozoa most times the ediot comes to make love to you in the spirit realm. It is the work of the marine kingdom, and with your sperm they can do a lot of things (I don't want to go into that now), but these are just a shadow of the REAL negative effect it has on you.

Having sexual intercourse in the dream kills you spiritually. It means ETERNAL SEPARATION from God. It means you're already dead while alive.

Why?

Because the dream world is the spirit world, and that yourself you're seeing in the dream is the REAL YOU. The Spirit-man God created in Genesis 1:27; as different from the man created in Genesis 2:7 (the dust-body).

As a man, you're created in the image and likeness of God, which is a spirit being. To exist and be able to live efficiently in this world, you needed a body different from the spirit body created in Gen 1:27; so God formed your current body from the dust and breath into it (transferring the spirit part of you into the body part) and you became a living soul. Your soul is the connecting rod, the bridge between your body and your spirit. It is the reason why you're able to dream and recollect your dreams, the reason why you can function between these two realms--physical and spiritual--at the same time. That's why man is the most unique creature ever made. The only creature that consist of body, soul and spirit.

Now, your ultimate purpose here is to serve God by doing his will (Ecclesiastics 12:23,) and the ONLY way you can do that is through the spirit (John 4:23-24), that is, when you are spiritually upright, vibrant and active. The devil knows this as well.

The spirit depends on the body to function effectively in this realm (the physical earth), and because the flesh is always dependent on the physical elements to thrive, contrary to the taste of the spirit nature, Satan and his demonic cohorts have perfected plans to make people perpetually weak through the fulfilment of the lust and desires of the flesh to keep the spirit trapped in idleness and unfulfillment of God's will on earth. (Romans 8:7-8}. If that is the case like you find yourself having sex in the dream and is affecting your spirituality, it only means one thing; you don't have the Spirit and nature of Christ in you, but the old man's nature (Ephesians 5:19), which means you're not of Christ (Romans 8:9), and spiritually lifeless (1John 5:12), and excluded from God's eternal heritage (Ephesians 4:18), and spiritually dead while alive in sinful pleasure (1Timothy 5:6).

At the end here on this realm, the spirit will go back to God unfulfilled and to face judgment (Ecclesiastics 12:7).

This is the primary goal of Satan, to prevent your spirit mission on earth through the workings of the flesh. But thank God, he has made a provided way of escape for you, which is Christ dying to save you.

For sin shall no longer have dominion over you (Romans 6:14).

You can take back control again and kick that intruder out of your body temple.

You said you've been praying but not seeing result. Well, that isn't strange because this thing is no longer a habit but spirit occupying part of you now, and just as you will need the services of a professional shoe mender to fix your shoe (which you can mend by yourself but not in a thorough and easiest way,) so also you need spiritual backup to get ride of this demonic linkage.

Go to a bible believing and deliverance minded church (some churches don't believe in deliverance); tell them your ordeal and they'd attend to your case. In most cases, a sound deliverance church will put you on a fasting and prayer program, depending on how your atrenght could allow. For this type can only be dealth with speedily by fasting and prayer.

And one other thing; it's one thing to get delivered and another thing to maintain that deliverance. Once you make up your mind to come out of this predicament, make sure you stay away from girls and anything that will connect and arouse your attention towards that area. Avoid things like excessive use of social media chats and visits, birthday parties, sexuality books and movies, etc., tjey are doors to wet dreams and marine torments. It will help you to manage your cravings. And of most importance; never try to connect whatsoever with the original source at all. I mean, the girl, unless chance bring two of you together again, and you have plans to marry her for real.

Continue praying also, especially during the night. Pray with all manner of prayer like your life depends on it. And anytime it comes and messes you up, bombard prayers once you wake up; the worst thing you can do is to defeat yourself by giving up. Prayers and self discipline is key.

I live in Delta, but I can help you connect to some brethren I'm Lagos assuming they stay closer to you.

Thanks.

So under which arrangement did boyfriend and girlfriend setting surfaced in God's word? undecided

My friend, according to God's word, those who involved in boyfriend and girlfriend arrangement are supposed to be stoned to death under the law.

It's God's mercy that permitted marrying your fornicator cohort, so failure to comply humbly with the provision of restitution is tantamount to unrepentance!

That's why Paul said the man or woman you've been sleeping with mustn't marry if she wants to remain a Christian as long as the partner lives, so their is no room for fornication in God's arrangement.

You don't have options if you're to be shown mercy, leaving the man/woman you've been sleeping with when that one still wants to continue with you is forbidden in God's kingdom arrangement! smiley
You're just misquoting God's word. Every sinner has an option; REPENT! Once a sinner does that genuinely, he is forgiven.God is not asking any fornicator under the new convenant to marry his partner. People repented from fornication as stated in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, and were commended for that. They didn't marry their sinful partner.

If the sinful partner wants to continue in her sinful way, she is free to do so with someone else while the other partner move on with his new life to serve Christ purpose. Salvation is a personal decision. The thief to the right side of Christ on the cross chose to save his life while his partner in crime chose to maintain his old ways. They both got their rewards. The decision is always yours to make, not God or man forcing it on you.

I asked you a simple question: if a fornicator has slept with 30 women before coming to know God, he should marry the 30 women, according to your logic, right? cool

Your logic is not only unscriptural according to the new convenant, but also defeat the purpose of salvation through grace in Christ Jesus.

Sinners are called to repentance, not to punishment.

@bolded question!

God's word said you must marry the girl you've defiled, you must not leave her!

Old Testament~Deuteronomy 22:29
New Testament~1Corinthians 7:12
Read and understand. Duetoronomy 22: 28-29 is a mosiac law whose harshness falls under the principle of restitution, which has been done away by Christ shedding his blood on the cross, the new covenant that restitute and paid for our sins, giving us the opportunity to seek forgiveness and change from our sinful ways.

I Corinthians 7:12 is talking about the relationship between a MARRIED WIFE who doesn't believe the gospel and a brother, the HUSBAND who believed the gospel. It wasn't talking about boyfriend and girlfriend, but people who are already married but one is a believer and the other is not a believer. Paul admonished the man not to put the woman away (divorce her) because the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the believing husband, and vise versa.

No where in the Bible under the new covenant is a fornicator asked to marry his partner in crime. So, let's not argue blindly. You can marry if you want but its not a must.

The Christians who repented from fornication and all forms of sexual immorality in I Corinthians 6:9-11 did not marry their fornication partners but repented and changed from their sinful ways. That is the purpose for Christ shedding his blood on the cross, to give us an opportunity to escape the harsh penalty of sin and live a sanctified life again.

Have you been sleeping with her for real?

If so then there is a big problem!

God warned his children not to engage in sex before marriage or extramarital affairs, because it involves blood contact! Act 15:28-29
Blood is the life in any creature {Leviticus 17:14} so it's more than just a minor issue, once there is blood contact it means covenant has been established between the two involved. This single act has led to the death of billions unknowingly but because God is so good many of us still manage to escape the evil consequences of blood covenant (sex)
Fallen angels (demons) takes advantage of this covenant to torment people in their businesses, homes, marital life, careers as well as in their dreams!
What you're having could be natural as in thoughts flowing from the romance you had with the lady, at the same time it could mean vengeance from the gilted lady or some empathetic avengers but the gilted one may not even know anything about it, it could be a demonic friend of hers that she reported the matter to that's punishing you in her behalf.
So what should you do now?
First of all go back and reconcile with her because what you had with her may look so simple to you God hates it. It's like you've robbed her the joy of a lifetime, in most cases it's like she's been raped emotionally and the rapist just wanted to walk away unpunished!
God's word said if you've had sex with a female either willingly or forcefully, you must marry her {Deuteronomy 22:28-29} Note that God never permit you to gilt her, in the first Christian congregation the law says if you've been in this blood covenant with a woman before you accept Christ and she's willing to continue with you you're not permitted to part ways with her! 1Corinthians 7:12
Of course you're not yet married but there has been a blood covenant between the two of you!
The only way out of this condition is if she's the one that willingly left you, then you're free to go for another, but if not then you must stick to her, you have no excuse before the holy one of Israel for leaving her!
God is willing to accept you and help you if only you heed to his counsel, many of us have been through this in the past, according to God's word we should have been dead by now {Roman 6:23} but since we managed to escape, we made a vow before God never to go back to such evil lifestyle.
Premarital sex is evil before God, so stop the practice because all those engaging in it will not inherit God's kingdom! Galatians 5:19

Just go ahead and marry her, if you've been sleeping with her before now, God will bless you both! smiley
What sort of advice is this? Are you for real? How could you have said he must stick to the girl and marry her because he had slept with her. Where is that in the Bible either expressly or by implication under the new convenant?

Jesus became the new law, and the death of Christ on the cross freed us from the crudeness of the Mosiac law as enshrined in Deutoronomy 22: 28-29, because God knows we will never be able to keep it practically in that sense, something that the devil was using against God's children. Hence, Christ and the new law. Heck, you don't even need to commit actual sexual intercourse to be guilty of sexual immorality anymore. Just by mere look and thought registration process within the heart, you can become guilty (Matthew 5:27-28). Both adultery and fornication are sexual immorality. But within that same heart repentance from sexual immorality can be made (Romans 10:10). Thanks to the blood of the new covenant. So, the brother in question can repent genuinely, not getting married by force to the lady as the only way out.

Marriage is a honorable thing, the bed undefiled and God hate premarital sex. But no where after the introduction of the new convenant as created by Christ does it make it a must that because you committed the act of formication with a lady mandated you to marry her. We are to "flee" from fornication (1st Corinthians 6:18) which means, avoid or repent from it, not marrying into it. I Thessalonians 2:15.

There is a blood covenant when two people had sexual inter courses. The blood of both become mixed together. In other words, a part of their souls become linked in the spiritual sense. The danger in this is that, whatever demonic trait or evil spirit in that person is transfered to the other partner that makes up the sexual relation. This occur even in legally and morally acceptable sexual relationships, let alone one that is not morally right.

That aside, no one mandated one partner to marry the other. Saying that is a fallacy.

What this brother should do now is to seek forgiveness from God, and assuming she doesn't trust the lady in question, he should undergo a deliverance session, which could be personal or organized with a church. But if he truely love the girl, he can go ahead and marry her, and that would be from his own volition, not by MUST. They were never married at the first place, nor engaged to be married.

What?

Assuming he had been sleeping or have slept with say ten different ladies, going by your logic, he must have to marry those10 ladies, which is not just impossible but not corroborated by any canon of scriptures under the new covenant. The only remedy for fornication supported by the bible under tje new convenant is to come out of fornication by genuine repentance, and not a mandatory marriage to the partner in the act. God give fornicators opportunity to repent and make their body holy again Revelations 2:21, and many people in the Corinthian church which was rampant with this problem did repent and Paul recognized their repentance. I Corinthians 6:9-11.

Thanks.

Your contributions are appreciated.
Yes, accelerated testing births higher figures since there is already a community spread. More worrisome though is the death rate. Are these all coming from the isolation centres or some were posthumously captured? I ask because it is shocking that Ghana that has improved testing habits has such comparatively low fatality. As for patients with underlying medical challenges, I think almost every nation has a share of that.

I will for now find it difficult to rely on Nigeria's data as a basis for any meaningful analysis. I consider that the testing efforts here are grossly inadequate as to present a true and realistic picture of the pandemic. That is a story for another day, though cheesy
Thanks for your response. Cheers
You just spoke my mind.

Delta State again?

If una like get 1000, lives continue.

Open the damn country

So those Kano, Kadunna, Kastina and Co, no more cases there? All of a sudden the North don't record much cases anymore even FCT.

NCDC thumbs up. Keep deceiving yourself.
The ediots are just manufacturing results from thin air. Anyone that goes to hospital with complain of malaria, they immediately tag that person as covid-19. The virus is out there but NCDC are not really extensive testing as they claim. They're just calling result anyhow based on malaria symptoms.

How we comprehend sometimes differs, some does from behind or underneath.

What the guy did was wrong, you don't struggle or argue with these cops. Just do as they they say most especially if you're coloured.

He wrestled, grabbed officers teasers, that's wrong.

Still, shooting him dead is not the next option. The teaser he pointed at them can't kill them.

Ive see many videos of white dudes, resisting arrest, struggling/wrestling/punching officers.

One of the videos i attached here, one dude fought and overpowered two officers, he grabbed their guns and drove away their ford. Another one attacked officers with axe.

They don't shoot them most times, rather, they call for backup.

A black guy was shot in the chest early this year threatening officers with just a rubber bat.

They shot one white guy holding a gun, but after warning and begging him for almost 30mins with squad of cops.

You are wasting your time trying to educate stupids.

Policing in America is a different ball game for whites compared to blacks in terms of application. In America, you're more likely to be killed as a Blackman than any where else in the world. The land of the free my asss.
