Imagine after worshipping Trump as a non immigrant and a student with hopes of securing the HI-B and then the below... cheesy

Wahala no too much.. choking here and there..
Trump is fishing , the democrats will literally oppose it. On this he is on 80/20 . By opposing it the democrats will signal they want more and more foreign workers, honestly I don't think voters want that. He is drawing them out.

I'll give you an example. There is a bill to ban house members from trading in stock. Trump opposed the PELOSI Act , a similar one has been tabled. He supports it. Democrats know opposing this one will make them appear as insider trading beneficiaries, Nancy Pelosi the big kahuna is supporting it

A federal judge threw out President Donald Trump’s $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times, calling it an undignified public relations exercise meant to “rage against an adversary” rather than present a well-reasoned legal case.
.Misleading headline and selective quoting.
The suit was tossed out for being too long. Over 80 pages.
Judge gave them 28 days to refile and to make it no more than 40 pages.

Reading your post , one would think it was because of merit.

P/S
Don't tell me you also fall for misleading headlines without interrogating the content

Let me get this right.
The guy who has never stepped foot in the US yet posts pages of pages of misinformation from right wing media about the US dares to open his mouth about media brainwashing?

Look in the mirror for once.
I don't need to be in America ro know you swallow every liberal media lie.
It's sad you are not honest with yourself, yet expect anyone else to believe a word you say.
Go watch a full Charlie Kirk episode and then describe how he espoused hatred.

Progressive New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is eyeing a run for president in 2028, according to a report Friday.

The socialist “Squad” member is positioning herself to seek higher office as she’s attempted to grow her presence across the country and Empire State, people familiar with her operation told Axios in a Friday report.
Ocasio-Cortez and her team are deciding on whether to run for the White House or the Senate, sources told the outlet.

H.Res. 719, titled “Honoring the life and legacy of Charles ‘Charlie’ James Kirk,” was introduced by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on September 16, 2025, and co-sponsored by 165 House Republicans. No Democrats co-sponsored the resolution. The measure condemns Kirk’s assassination and praises him as a “courageous American patriot” who championed free speech and constitutional principles, and calls for unity against political violence.



58 democrats voted against the resolution. From X , Al Gtrene had 100% of the votes (unopposed) , while the lowest had 53% of the vote. A median winning margins of 6% for all of them . Nearly all are basically in safe blue districts so their vote vwas just an expression of hate. Majority don't expect to lose their seats in the midterms.

bayelsaowei, Ijebos are victims s of media brainwashing.
Ijebos said Kirk hated people . He has never watched a single video of Kirk in full , He is irredeemable.

bayelsaowei, Obama never punished anyone for the IRS scandal. IOW he gave a tacit approval, when he was caught he blubbered his way out knowing media would not question him. That was typical of him.
He also ordered Brennan, Clapper and Comey to rewrite the Intelligence Community Assessment. All evidence showed Russia sisnh have the capacity to interfere with 2016 ,neither did Putin preferred Trump. He told them to manufacture evidence to the contrary. The media ignores his role .

This one did not fight with Rosie Odennel on Twitter but he locked people like her up. The press that was nice to him because of his skin was not exempt.

You act like you want to criticize too much, he will use something to come after you.

So make noise all you want, Trump won the popular vote.

More people choose the Vile man compared to the woman.
As I posted earlier Obama changed the law to allow foreign psyops operations long perfected by CiA, USAID, NED etc to be used on Americans. The methods they have used to topple governments like in Ukraine, Iran , Guatemala, Chile etc were free to be used on Americans. They still use psyops in invasions like Panama and Iraq. The media is a huge cog in the wheel of any operation. Spy agencies target the opponents , smear them and kill them off via media.
Obama as you posted used the IRS to go after Tea Party and other conservatives
Explains Google CEO Schmidt and Facebook Zuckerbucks spending all their time in the Obama Whitehouse. Explains why media only has one fixation - broadcast Anti Trump 24/7. Cancel culture, #metoo , deplatforming etc are methods in use to perpetuate the left in power.

Antifa has been declared a major terrorist organization. The DOJ can go after it's members, but it's not easy because it's decentralized. The group however holds meetings, has oaths and receives funds from donors.
George Soros Open Society Foundations has donated over $ 88 million to groups that well , are just domestic terrorists.
Investigative reporter Ryan Mauro, has traced Open Society donations to such kind of groups ,many which fund antifa directly.

https://capitalresearch.org/app/uploads/Report.pdf

Antifa donations will be cut off hopefully .
Hillary Clinton running mate in 2016 Senator Tom Caine youngest son was charged over assault,he is a member of Antifa .It's pretty interesting to hear whether he will comment on Antifa designation as a terrorist organization .
Antifa members have been mapped by 4chan members , the list is publicly available.
Andy NGO, a journalist who was been assaulted by antifa goons several times has lots of details on Antifa members and organization.

An antifa member, Eric Canton was a college professor who was charged with assaulting bystanders with a U shaped bicycle lock , he caused some serious injuries but a judge found it fit he serves only 3 years probation.

The 1948 Act, the Smith-Mundt Act, officially known as the U.S. Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948. This law was designed to promote the dissemination of information about the United States and its policies abroad, primarily to counteract Soviet propaganda during the Cold War.

In 2012, President Obama signed the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act as part of the National Defense Authorization Act. This modernization allowed for the domestic dissemination of information produced by the U.S. government, which was previously prohibited under the original Smith-Mundt Act.

Here’s a quick summary:

Original Act (1948): Prohibited domestic dissemination of U.S. government propaganda.
Modernization (2012): Allowed domestic access to information produced for foreign audiences.


So the original Act was designed to allow the US government to wage propaganda , overthrow governments , use every means possible to counter Russian propaganda in order to ensure America influence was solidified. The "Dirty Propaganda" was only to be used in foreign countries. This was through CIA , later on USAID and other myriad NGOs that cropped up.

Obama in his wisdom changed the law to allow the same kind and methods of propaganda overseas could be used on America cutizens. Meaning the USAID et al could find domestic human rights crusaders aka domestic terrorists.
That was the Change we can believe in.

I'll be writing more , I'm aware Amazontopaz is a lawyer .

Three courageous Barrington students ask for teacher Ben Fillo to be fired for his post celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk.

Student 1: We decided to come out and give our perspective on this subject considering it is our teacher and one of the people that will guide our futures. No matter what anyone says to me, I will never stand for violence, especially at the murder of a man who was publicly murdered in front of his wife, one of his children, thousands of students, and other bystanders. Charlie was not a racist, he did not hurt anyone sexually, and he did not kill anyone. Therefore, this was an unjustified cause of death that should never be celebrated. So if you ask me, Charlie’s children do not deserve to grow up without their father. Charlie’s wife did not deserve to lose her husband. Charlie did not deserve to lose his life because of a different opinion. But this teacher deserves to lose his job.

Student 2: As civilians and people of our great country, we hold ourselves to a higher standard than to support, or worse yet, rejoice in violence. Someone who advocated for an arrested murderer and assassinator of one of the greatest debaters and free speakers of our time should have no place in the classroom—more so around young children.

Student 3: As a student of Barrington High, I do not feel comfortable or safe with one of our teachers supporting violence. We believe this world needs God because something as cruel as this should never be celebrated. God bless Charlie Kirk, and rest in peace, Mr. Kirk.


The applause was heard all the way at the International Space Station.

I now get it. Democrats have no standards they are held to. They go to extreme lengths to hold Conservatives to the fire.I am a Christian and I can post any word I never created here with no apologies. I have no qualms dishing out choice insults to the chagrin of those who think I shouldn't.

Shared from X .
Roseanne Barr – Fired by ABC/Disney and her hit show Roseanne canceled overnight in 2018 after one tweet. Hundreds of cast and crew lost their jobs.

Gina Carano – Fired from The Mandalorian in 2021 for social media posts that didn’t fit the Left’s politics. Dropped by her agency too.

Megyn Kelly – Fired by NBC in 2018, her morning show canceled after comments about Halloween costumes.

Dave Chappelle – Netflix employees staged a walkout and demanded his comedy special be pulled for “transphobia.” The Left tried hard to cancel him.

Joe Rogan – The Left pressured Spotify to drop him, running coordinated campaigns and advertiser boycotts over COVID discussions.

Tucker Carlson – Taken off Fox News in 2023. Liberal activists bragged about advertiser pressure campaigns that helped force him out, costing thousands of downstream jobs.

Parler – Apple, Google, and Amazon colluded in 2021 to wipe the entire platform off the internet. Tens of thousands of small creators and businesses lost income overnight.

J.K. Rowling – Blacklisted from events, attacked by activists, and pressured out of projects for speaking her mind.

Mike Lindell – MyPillow pulled from major retailers, banned from Twitter, and targeted with advertiser boycotts.

Alex Jones – Simultaneously banned in 2018 by YouTube, Facebook, Apple, and Spotify. Coordinated erasure celebrated as a model for censorship.

Patterns are clear:

Coordinated advertiser boycotts.

Public celebrations of people losing jobs and businesses.

Two sets of rules — the Left can lie (Russia hoax, Covington kids smear, Jussie Smollett, etc.) and laugh about it, but the Right gets destroyed.

Accountability only ever goes one way. The Left has spent the last decade perfecting cancel culture, destroying jobs, nuking shows, wiping platforms off the internet, and laughing while people’s lives were ruined. But sure… Jimmy Kimmel smugly lying about a political assassination? Totally fine.

Pete Buttgieges sexual orientation is not an issue, he just has an unfortunate surname for Politics.
I have no problem with gay people at all.
It's their life, I don't accept it as normal , which of course it isn't. They don't have to shove it in our faces all the time. Gay people would not exist without heterosexual people, they should respect us for that

Disgusting that Trump has to appeal to SCOTUS to let him fire a federal reserve governor who is criminally referred over mortgage fraud. A banker is supposed to be beyond reproach like Ceaser's wife. So sa Biden judge blocked her firing. Federal appeal ,2 Biden vs 1 Trump judges agreed with the lower court One of her grounds I'd shectge first black female federal reserve governor. She is a qualified PhD yes and has additional qualifications in lying on mortgage applications.

SCOTUS will definitely not want to be seen as condoning criminally referred individuals to be the guardian of the Federal Reserve.

Kamala Harris in her upcoming book writes Tim Waltz China lover wasn't her first choice
She wanted Peter Buttgiege 💖😍,but the risk of a married gay man wasn't something she wanted at the time. You see y'all are bigoted homophobic racist slobs.
Peter Buttigiege, who once went on a paternal after his husband and him birthed a child. Took him 3 weeks to visit a small republican dominated town that had a toxic chemical spill accident.Joe Biden took over a year before he bothered to set foot there.
Democrats learnt from Obama to engage in identity politics

Turns out republicans were the snowflakes afterall.

They called us that because we said it’s not right to mock disabled people or be racist.

But now they can’t handle criticism of their orange overlord.
As usual talking from one side of the mouth. People are horrified at the leftist celebration ito the death of a person who advocated debate.
The democrats that you love so much are the party that doesn't accept criticism ..
To the point that they have to murder someone in broad daylight infront of thousands of people . Like this idiot who has since been expelled from Texas State University. I bet you think he is the wronged one .

Seun, if you don’t want us to use this platform, why not shut it down?

I don’t understand how someone can invest time in writing lengthy paragraphs, conducting online research, and including links, only for your AI bot to delete the post because of certain keywords.

Your bots do not understand insults or context.

If you don’t want us to use this platform, just shut it down. This effort feels lazy. There’s no insight into why the bot is deleting posts, so people can’t adjust their submissions accordingly. This seems like a careless and assinine approach.

Consider an exemption of users like me ,if you have to leave the bot.
I nominate my handle for an exemption.
Can't understand why this is getting repeatedly banned.
