If that's the case they should arrest destiny who is a popular video game streamer. Who celebrated and made fun of the guy who died during the trump rally shooting.

He opening called for attacks on conservative on piers Morgan so that they are afraid to come out and speak.
In no way am I suggesting the guy had anything to do with the shooting , I'm only pointing out how democrats go out on a rib to challenge anyone who threatens their voter base. He represents a funded group whose job is to go around asking gotcha questions at TPUSA events.

You start your sentence by saying you are not defending him but go ahead to make light of the crime he committed.

You easily could have stopped typing after your first sentence. The compulsion to defend and water down reckless behaviors in the name of politics is tasteless.

The question was simple and remains.
Logically if he was advising businesses on how to secure govt contracts , how is getting paid then a crime? He was not doing charitable work, there was a fee.
Note the date September 2024. Was the $50k a fee or a bribe to give them business IF Trump won the elections and nominated him to an influential position? Wot you think would have happened had the Joyful one won. They would have jailed him for life
Answer me to the best of your knowledge.
Maybe they could get him if he didn't declare it in his tax filings.

Did he collect the bribe? Yes or No?

This isn’t a congressional hearing where you dance around questions.

Yes or no? Did he collect 50K bribe?
I'm not defending him..Everyone has a weakness. The FBI is a proven criminal organization which uses it's vast resources to perpetuate democrats in power. That is, since the last 15 years or so.
They posed as Business Executives and approached him . He was doing consulting business .
Consulting Work: Yes, Homan was actively consulting in 2024 through his firm, Homeland Strategic Consulting LLC (incorporated in May 2018 shortly after leaving ICE). The firm specialized in advising companies on securing federal contracts in the border security and immigration sectors. It boasted helping clients obtain "tens of millions of dollars" in government deals, leveraging Homan's relationships with agencies like the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Justice (DOJ), and Department of Defense (DOD). Specific clients included GEO Group, a major private prison operator, from which he received at least $5,000 in fees in the two years leading up to 2025 (overlapping with 2024). He also received payments from other immigration-related contractors.


I think you have been answered. A business consultant , they never turn down any business. He was as using companies on how to secure government contracts. Had Kamala won they would have jailed him for taking a bribe.
To muddy the waters they opened an investigation on him , on the very business model he was running. If I was the AG I would simply shut it down because once you are being investigated, you can be found guilty of lying to FBI. They get a search warrant on everything you own , and they might discover you had jaywalked one day, or an email to Epstein. Show me the man I show you the crime.

Background on Tom Homan is the current White House Border Czar under President Donald Trump, appointed in early 2025. He previously served as Acting Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during Trump's first term. Recent reports have centered on an FBI undercover investigation from 2024 alleging he accepted a bribe.Key Details of the AllegationIn September 2024—before Trump's reelection—FBI agents, posing as business executives, met Homan multiple times in Texas. On September 20, 2024, hidden cameras and audio recorded Homan accepting a bag containing $50,000 in cash. In exchange, he allegedly promised to help the "executives" secure future government contracts related to border security if Trump won the election and appointed him to a relevant positio

So the FBI under Cris Wray knew Horman was to be the border czar .Instead of sending agents undercover to arrest Sinaloa cartel members they decided to entice him with a bribe and catch him red-handed.
Sounds similar to the setup of Russian hoax so that they could sabotage him.

---Feds have found no links between Kirk assassination suspect and left-wing groups, report says---

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/charlie-kirk-investigation-no-left-wing-groups-b2830578.html

Federal investigators have found no evidence linking Tyler Robinson , who is accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk, to left-wing groups, despite claims from former President Donald Trump and his administration , three sources tell NBC News.

The trio of insiders is reportedly familiar with the probe into the case, which, as of now, appears to revolve around Robinson, 22, acting alone.

“Every indication so far is that this was one guy who did one really bad thing because he found Kirk’s ideology personally offensive,” one person said.
The guy who asked Charlie Kirk the last question before he was shot has antifa links. He is part of the "Unf**k America" tour whose schedule was yo yo yo every Kirk rally.
Don't know what to believe.

HolinessForever:
How many Arabs lived in “Palestine” before the establishment of the State of Israel 🇮🇱?

A timeline with historical sources:


🔸In 1785, Constantine Francois Volney describes the "ruined" and "desolate" state of the country: "We with difficulty recognized Jerusalem... The population is supposed to amount to twelve to fourteen thousands..."

🔸In 1843, Alexander Keith wrote that "in this [Volney's] day the land had not fully reached its last prophetic degree of desolation and depopulation."

🔸In 1816, J.S. Buckingham had described Jaffa as "a poor village", and Ramleh as a place "where, as throughout the greater portion of Palestine, the ruined portion seemed more extensive than that which was inhabited."


🔸In 1835, Alphonse de Lamartine gave this description: "Outside gates of Jerusalem, we saw indeed no living object, heard no living sound. We found the same void, the same silence as we should have found in the enrombed gates of Pompeii and Herculaneum... a complete, eternal silence resigns in the town, in the highways, in the country... The tomb of a whole people."

🔸In 1857, the British consul in Palestine, James Finn, reported back to England: "The country is in a considerable degree empty of inhabitants and therefore its greatest need is that of a body of population."

🔸In 1867, Mark Twain wrote in The Innocents Abroad: "Stirring senses... occur in this valley no more. There is not a solitary village throughout its whole extent – not for thirty miles in either direction." He goes on to describe Galilee, Judea, and around Jerusalem as deserts devoid of population. And for the country as a whole: "Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes. Over it broods the spell of a curse that has withered its fields and fettered its energies... Palestine is desolate and unlovely... It is hopeless, dreary, heartbroken land."

🔸In1881 (the year designated by Arafat as the beginning of the Zionist "invasion" and "displacement" of the local population), English cartographer Arthur Penrhyn Stanley wrote: "In Judea it is hardly an exaggeration to say that for miles and miles there was no appearance of life or habitation."

🔸By the third quarter of the 19th century, the total population of the entire country, Arabs and Jews, was only 400,000. Less than 3% of today's figure.

So where were all those "Palestinians" before the Israeli "occupation"?

Nonsense

The spirit of the bill is mean spirited and political grandstanding to smirch opponents just like all the DOGE noise earlier

Pelosi has not benefited from any insider trading but Trump is the biggest crook when it comes to insider trading, from his cryptos to everything. His sons place shorts worth hundreds of millions of dollars each day before he announced a new tarriff, and long millions in Crypto each time before he announces some American policy to buy or keep crypto. You literally had Trump announcing specific nonsense cryptos that America will keep reserve in, cryptos his sons owned. When he failed to mention Cardano, Eric even reminded him on Twitter to mention Cardano which is part of their portfolio. Not to mention his Trump coin and Melania coin scam. They have made $5bln from insider trading and Crypto scams this year alone and we are still in September
If you want to make money on stocks buy the same stocks Pelosi invests in. The couple has better returns than all those smart wall street MBAs.

Parents discover their school is secretly transitioning daughter without their knowledge. Liberals are just pure evil.


Jennifer Mead recently testified before President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission, telling the story of her family’s ordeal.

[Jennifer Mead]: A school employee sent us an academic report with notes from my daughter’s past and current teachers. But oddly, some of the teachers' notes talked about a boy, or at least referred to a boy’s name and used male pronouns. I assumed this was a mistake. So I emailed the school employee to see if she had inadvertently included another child’s information in the report, but she didn’t respond. My husband and I discovered that the school, including the counselor that we had put so much trust in, was socially transitioning our daughter and hiding it from us.

We later found out that teachers and staff had been treating our daughter as a boy without our knowledge. They continued to use her real name and accurate pronouns when communicating with us. I was shocked, betrayed, and heartbroken. We met with the principal hoping that he would be as shocked as we were. But he wasn’t. He said it was school district and Michigan policy to treat our little girl as a boy without telling us.

Going into this meeting, Dan and I had hoped that the principal would be as concerned as we were. But we left feeling devastated and not sure what to do next.

There really are no words to capture the traumatic impact of the school’s action on our young daughter and our family. And in the days and weeks that followed, it was like she was emerging from a cult. Multiple times a day she would ask us if we loved her. She had been taught to not trust us, that we wouldn’t understand her and that we wouldn’t accept her, which is absolutely false.

But what really broke my heart is that my sweet girl, she was led to believe that she was broken and she is not. She was made in the image of God and she is beautiful, intelligent, and kind.


They sued the school , judge has ruled the case can proceed.

Someone tell me Trump is vile.

Best document I have read detailing how the Intelligence Community knew Putin fvoured neither Trump not Hillary but Brennan, Clapper and Comey under Obama directions produced a flawed intelligence community assessment in 2 weeks that claimed the exact opposite of what they all knew.
The basis of the new ICA was Steele dossier, anonymous emails and unreliable sources . The ICA drafters challenged Brennan for verification but he told them they could not see top secret raw intelligence which was just hearsay.

Each year, on 15 May, millions mark the Nakba, or catastrophe, which refers to the ethnic cleansing of Palestine by Zionist militias to make way for the creation of Israel in 1948.

In a premeditated military campaign, Zionist forces killed thousands of Palestinians, destroyed hundreds of villages and forcibly expelled 80 percent of the Palestinian population from their homeland.

After more than a year of relentless violence, the newly created State of Israel captured 78 percent of historic Palestine.

The remaining 22 percent, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, were occupied by Israel 19 years later and remain under Israeli military rule.

Winners wrote history. The only exception is the Palestinian Israel where the losers distorted view of the situation is what most of the world believes..
Arabs , I'll call them that were not expelled , your 78% claim is a distortion. Majority has been told via their mosques to leave the land since the Arab armies were massing up to drive out every Jew into the Mediterranean. The mood was high ,finally the Arabs would get cleanse the land of all Jews. That never happened ., the Haganna won and the state of Israel was declared.
The Arabs who fled are now know. As Palestinians. The Jews and others who were also part of Palestine Mandate became modern day Israelis.

your first supposition may not be true....I'd like for you to back it up with data, that a typical college American graduate resents foreign workers on H1-B.

Indigenous american graduates cant fill up all of the professional roles in the US.. which is one reason for the H1-B.
That assertion comes from many forums and social media postings .

The Economic Policy Institute (EPI, 2023) report highlights that the top 30 H-1B visa employers hired approximately 34,000 new H-1B workers in FY2022 while simultaneously laying off over 85,000 employees, many of whom were U.S.-born, during 2022 and early 2023.


Personal stories abound on platforms like Reddit and X (formerly Twitter), where U.S. tech workers report being laid off and training H-1B replacements (e.g., Disney 2015 case). Recent X discussions (e.g., post-2025 Trump $100K H-1B fee) highlight frustration: "Tens of thousands of Americans lost jobs to H1B scam" or "Microsoft laid off 43,000 since 2009 while applying for 49,000 H-1Bs." Youth unemployment in CS/engineering is high (6.1% for recent grads), fueling claims of a "bleak job market."

i am worried about hard working foreigners who have spent money and going through the legal process to work and live in the united states..some are our nigerian brothers and sisters.

I have always said that Trumps foo-lishness will get to everybody. All the yammering about illegal immigrants would also descend on legal immigrants.
The typical college graduate American resents foreign workers on H1B visas. Ijebos is a very good example who hates anyone not agreeing with his infinite wisdom worse if not American
Many Americans will be happy with that because it ensures higher wages for them if they can't jget cheaper foreign workers.
I have been to Export Processing Zones in Ethiopia, one was a huge BPO doing data entry and first level support for various American companies.
It's a populist move that is squarely aimed at eroding further democrat support among American citizens. To democrats it's damned if they do,damned if they don't support lesser H1-B visas
Ijebos would be secretly happy if there was a scarcity of MS Excel expert jobs .. But he will never publicly support Trump on anything.

How is this allowed. Hunter Biden sat in WH meetings where pardons and clemencies were discussed. An autopen then decided to sign pardons. Hunter Biden was also involved in his own full pardon, this one Joe signed personally.


On September 18, 2025, former Biden chief of staff Jeff Zients testified before the House Oversight Committee, chaired by Rep. James Comer (R-KY). Zients confirmed that Hunter Biden participated in multiple White House meetings focused on clemency and pardon decisions in late 2024. These meetings involved senior aides and occurred as Joe Biden prepared to issue pardons before leaving office on January 20, 2025. A source familiar with the closed-door interview noted that it remains unclear whether Hunter directly influenced his own pardon or those of other family members, but his presence raised concerns about conflicts of interest.
Scope of Involvement: The meetings reportedly covered the broader clemency process, including Joe Biden's decision to issue a "full and unconditional" pardon to Hunter on December 1, 2024, for offenses from January 1, 2014, to December 1, 2024. This pardon nullified convictions on gun and tax charges, sparing Hunter up to 17 years in prison. Additionally, Joe Biden extended preemptive pardons to other family members, including James Biden, covering activities dating back to his vice presidency (2009–2017), which Republicans allege were tied to influence-peddling schemes.



America is a truly a banana republic.
Hunter Biden has an "in your face" attitude. Some deductions he claimed to be business expenses.

Strip Joint Membership: This refers to a $10,000 payment labeled as a "golf club member deposit" but actually for a sex club membership (not a traditional strip club). IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley confirmed the club owner verified Biden's involvement. He deducted this full amount as a business expense on his 2018 tax return. Additional strip club visits (e.g., $3,947 at an unnamed club, $1,500 to an exotic dancer) were also claimed as business deductions, but no "membership" fee was specified for those.
Hunter Biden deducted tens of thousands of dollars (~$100,000+ across categories) in payments to prostitutes, including those linked to an Eastern European sex trafficking ring. These included:
$11,500 for two nights with an escort (deducted as business travel).
$25,000 to a "West Coast assistant" who was "essentially a prostitute."
$18,000 in wire payments to another woman (coded to conceal purpose).
Multiple flights/hotels for prostitutes (e.g., interstate travel violating the Mann Act), expensed to Owasco PC.

Overall, prostitutes/escorts/dancers totaled ~$30,000 in just five months (2018), with broader "various women" and "adult entertainment" deductions exceeding $100,000.

Muslim Mayor in Michigan tells
Edward “Ted” Barham a Christian council member he is not welcome there. The standoff was over the naming of a street after a terrorist sympathiser ,Osama Siblani who had said
He talks about how the blood of the martyrs irrigates the land of Palestine … whether we are in Michigan and whether we are in Yemen. Believe me, everyone should fight within his means. They will fight with stones, others will fight with guns, others fight with planes, drones, and rockets.
The Mayor told Barham

Although you live here, I want you to know as mayor, you are not welcome here.
:.....
And the day you move out of the city will be the day that I launch a parade celebrating the fact that you moved out of this city.


Barham responded I " God bless you," , adding that he takes seriously Jesus’ command to "love your enemies, bless those who curse you.

Now it's confirmed she committed immigration fraud.

Her fraud goes a long way. Her supposed parents Omar are not her real parents. Her surname is Elmi , her dad was a minister in Somali govt that was toppled , it's not that she was escaping poverty while her father was a big shot in Said Barre govt.

She also has issues with her current husband , their net worth seems to have grown mysteriously. She had hired him as her campaign consultant and paid him huge sums from the donations.

Basically she is.a criminal laughing at American justice system , She ticks all the right boxes Muslim ,female and. Person of Color.
