You do know that Trump advocates extra judicial killing and violence.
He just blew up a boat in international waters the other day that he claims were drug smugglers. And claims is doing a lot of work there.

I don't condone killing people, but some of this self righteous indignation when talking about a man like Trump who also pardoned and released Jan 6th insurrections who wanted to hang is VP is beyond me.

Trump and his cult is a cancer to the US.
The facts about Venezuela boat.
1. The boat had 4 outboard 200HP engines. Each engine costs $20,000 or thereabouts. Max speed of the boat is 90 knots, approximately 106 mph
2. It's GPS had been set to Trinidad and Tobago.

3. The crew jettisoned their cargo as soon as they knew they'd been spotted.

4. The US Navy has warships off Venezuela coast, the top speed of the LCS is 50 knots or 58 mph. The other destroyers do no more than 30-40 knots.

The Venezuela boat was designed to outrun coast guard vesseks

Now , call them fishermen doing their thing

À 200-yard single précise bullet to the jugular?


Nah, that wasn't the work of a loon or crazy. That's a professional.

This was a sanctioned hit.
That is a sniper shot . One shot one kill.
I believe a lot of events have been held at the food court , Someone knew that the 200 yard distance from that rooftop was within the kill range. All he had to do was identify the event.

RIP to Mr Kirk, we still don't know the motive of the shooter and from the looks of things seems he was shot from a very far distance, probably a sniper.
But one thing is clear, the tyrant predator is just as to blame for this violent political climate.

Hey basilico, did you forget the slaying of the two dem senators by a maga fan months ago and the tyrant never cared to call the gov, tweet about it and all right wing ignored it?
The shooter who was good friends with the democrat governor and had a kill list the governor knew of and approved? If it's that one Yes I remember him.

I'm seeing a pattern. The liberals have been waging violence on their opponents.
They blame fascism guns, religion , feelings , anything to absolve themselves.
Since the entry of Trump the liberal has justified violence against him and his supporters.
The Ukrainian girl murdered by a complete stranger suffering schizophrenia whose mother wanted him institutionalized . Media sat on the story for 2 weeks because the killer was black. He said " I got the white girl" immediately after.

I'm supposed to think there is no source of that hatred, the victims are to blame.
Not me.

Don't accept what I've said as definite. Its a lot more complex than I can explain, but the gist of it is the borrower does not set the rate they are lent to.

And that's what makes America's supposed hegemonical might laughable. It's like the person in debt setting the terms of trade. If I were the other countries borrowed from, I'd be silently laughing while the grave is dug, because I'd be aware the sky falls very very slowly in this case (because USA has a printer, which is just theft from its citizens by inflation, as we've seen), but fall it eventually must.
I always read and make up my own opinion, I'm not swayed by leftie or right wing media

If you dont behave like an Hitler they wont call you that. Isnt it? Did the Hitler not tell his supporters to stop the peaceful transfer of power? Didnt he?

Did his supporters invading the capitol not lead to the death of people?

Did his supporters not bring a hanging rope to hang Pence. Didnt they?

Did he not tell Pence not to certify the election?

So therefore anything they call him he deserves it. And that didnt say because they call anybody so and so means therefore people can go and start killing people.

You are an APC supporter in Nigeria,Did you people not call for a civil War if GEJ didnt reduce the cost of fuel so what are you saying?

It doesnt tally at all.

Trump has called for violence by telling his people not to accept results and "STOP THE STEAL' But is it people who call Trump exactly what he is are who caused the violence issue that has been affecting the US since Trump came on board?

Everything you wrote is propaganda by the left to demonize Trump. Everything is a lie.

Look for author of " 1776 Receipts" Armes or something like that and how his creation was used to frame Proud Boys .

Condolences to the family of Kirk. He died railing against violence of the left. Suspect is still at large.
Democrats are behind this, they can't stand alternate views. They will blame the gun instead of the shooter

The reporting by main stream media is all one needs to know about fascism and fascists.

budaatum:
You don't know how the interest USA pays on its debt is arrived at, which is fair, since you are asking.

USA borrows by selling bonds to raise the money they want. They state how much they want to raise, and lenders (bond buyers) will state how much they will charge. An aggregate is then arrived at for that particular bond.

The fed can say what its effective federal funds rate (EFFR) is, but as you will see in the article linked below, that does not determine the interest USA pays on its borrowing, though I know you wouldn't bother to understand it and would only come back with 2000 mules. Its basically saying the fed cut rates and bondholders charged even more, which will be the case if the fed lowers the EFFR even lower.

This is because at the end of the borrowing period, after which the lender has been paying interest, the lender also pays the principal, which might not be worth the same amount that was lended due to depreciation or inflation, or even appreciation and deflation, the later which might make your lent money be worth even more, in which case you might have not minded a low interest, but would mind if your money was worth less when paid back, for which you'd have wisely demanded a higher yield at issue.



Perhaps think of your own debt/credit. You don't tell the lender how much interest you will pay. Its the lender who looks at the risk you pose and imposes interest on you accordingly. If you are credit worthy, as in you pay on time, you'd likely get a lower interest rate than a person who doesn't, as the lender will compensate for the risk posed. (This, by the way, was dumps New York case was about).

On a serious note, I do wish you'd spend more time trying to understand this than swimming in your magaconspiracies, because its implications are huge in the whole scheme of things. But I guess I'll live in hope knowing the sky will fall on this one day. Just ask France and my own UK, or Japan and even China.
Thanks. I'll digest that later in the evening.

You cannot win any criminal case in any court anywhere in the world in 2025, saying I got Intel he was brewing poison to kill me. I have no proof, but I went to destroy his factory.

Only stupid people say things like this.

Secondly, where do you think Death to America comes from? As always, you neophytes think history starts in the middle of events.
Iran rained missiles on The little Satan.
What you think it would send to the Big Satan?
If you don't know , America is Big Satan , Israel little Satan
Every Jumaa ( Friday ) prayers Ayatollahs lead worshippers to chant "Death to Big Satan Death to little Satan ". The crescendo is so loud that International Space Sonar Imaging shows red on its radar screen.

You need to stop making your conclusion about how others will behave , if they are loudly telling you their intentions.
Hamas leaders were proudly saying they will repeat Oct 7. One of them was in Qatar.

Ibime , unlike Felicia I can get an educated answer from you.
Central Bank Rates.

Previously you pointed out that the interest rates are raised to combat inflation . Conversely they are lowered to encourage growth.

With (I'm using America) the debt $36 Trillion ,doesn't higher rates drive the govt to the brink. Has to repay more , have it's credit rating downgraded etc. Direct income revenues are used to pay off the spiralling debt forcing development project funding to be curtailed . The structure of medicaid and pension is that they grow every year, add in pet projects by politicians and the debt growth is permanently on a upwards trajectory.
Where do you balance 0% interest rates with rising pubic debt. Inflation levels?

Lisa Cook. A black Joe Biden judge has ruled Trump cannot fire Lisa Cook because she is not convinced that he can.. Not really. She ruled that Cook can only be fired over her current job misconduct , her mortgage fraud filings before appointment are irrelevant.Judge ruled " Only Cook’s conduct on the job could be grounds for removal, "
Absolute madness. This looks like making up laws on the fly . The judge is a member of the same sorority sisters with Lisa Cook, no conflict of if interest,lady justice is blind blah blah blah.
In a few days time Lisa Cook will be part of the fed reserve governor's voting on whether to cut Federal Rates

WAPO is convinced her fraud documents are legit.

Qatar has no extradition treaty with Israel. Hamas leaders who plotted the Oct 7 massacre live large in Qatar and are legitimate targets

Good Morning America
I won't say it's fake or not. Please explain how 93% of Washington DC voted for Kamala Harris.
Extrapolate that to the career staffers at the BLS and declare their reporting is not sexed up

Remember President Donald Trump fired Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Commissioner Erika McEntarfer on August 1, 2025, alleging that she manipulated jobs data for political purposes to benefit Democrats during the 2024 election.
This action followed the release of the BLS's July 2025 jobs report, which showed only 73,000 jobs added—below expectations—and included downward revisions of 258,000 jobs from May and June estimates.
. Trump described the data as "rigged" and "faked" in posts



While not disputing the numbers, I'm cognizant of the fact that everyone there hates Trump and many in DC are actively sabotaging him. I always treat liberals as suspects in nearly everything,well they are the ones who taught me to be sceptical.

Prime Minister Netanyahu after the ELIMINATION -
“Enough is enough”
The aim of terror attacks is to wear your resolve down and accede to the terrorists demands. A tactic Palestinians have used since the formation of PLO. Israel has ventured into new territory. They will go for the leaders who sponsor, plan and encourage attacks against her. Go for the very top , no matter who they are or where they shelter. That should be a wake up call . Hamas billionaires were content living in luxury in Qatar , they better export their tunnel drilling prowess to foreign countries and live in bunkers.
A lot of people forget Israel citizens are fluent Arabic speakers and can blend in anywhere, go to their mosques while gathering critical intelligence.

---In 2003 when the birthday book was prepared--- Felon 47 was just another rich entrepreneur and the letter was for private use---Who would actually believe that someone tried to frame him by planting a fake letter in a birthday book to frame him in the future?---And what would they have been framing him for?---Epstein’s crimes weren’t public knowledge then---It really is amazing how little respect Felon 47 and his cronies have for the American people. And it’s even more amazing that MAGAs continuously prove them right by believing all the lies about releasing the Epstein files---

---We are waiting for Felon 47 to sue the Epstein Estate for sending the documents to the House Committee---
If I'm right Trump has not used emails as such throughout his life , and in those days there was no FB to remind you of upcoming birthdays. Mobile phones were the 2G.
Cards were all the vogue, People still send cards today for many occasions. I would not be surprised Trump had hundreds of cards to sign off every other day.
I've seen this somewhere. If you run exclusive $200K membership clubs or so a year, would you not send occasion cards to your members?

---It would be impossible for Biden to release the files because House Speaker Mike Johnson said Felon 47 was an FBI informant to trap Epstein---

By letting the criminal FBI and deep state know he would declassify, this gave them two options.
A) Destroy evidence or hide in burn bags
B) plant evidence to incriminate him.

If you remember Clinton being quoted as screaming "Well all hang by the noose'.
The deep state will not go down without a fight. It's either nobody goes down or only Trump goes down. If not that the whole house goes down.

keep defending Trump until you cant anymore.

I wonder if you would support Jesus Christ this way. grin grin..
What have I defended him from. I'm only analyzing the accusations, what's already known and any new revelations.
They were friends with Epstein.
If you bother reading what I post, I excerpted Ghislaine Maxwell testimony where they helped launch the Clinton foundation. Epstein was a master at hiding $$$ so his relationship with the Billarys through their money laundering foundation must've involved business. I've not accused Bill of being a paedo. . But a then underage Epstein victim confessed to being on a flight to Africa in the company of Bill and others. . Bill only acknowledges that flight to Africa, however recent releases proved he lied because there are flight logs of him to the Orgy Paedo island numerous times.

The whole democrat push in this leaves out Clinton esp , with cross hairs trained on Trump only.
If Trump was involved , let there be no cover up, let him be charged. As it is the only focus is never on the victims but how to include his name. Why is media silent about the Orgy island, what was happening there? If you are neutral you'd also want to know , instead it's Trump is linked to Epstein day in day out. You show no mercy to the thousands of girls that were abused , you only care about Trunp .
You still won't answer why Joe Biden never released these files.
What I'm I supposed to conclude about your real intentions?
