Republicans have also gerrymandered concurrently..
So let the whole US be gerrymandered into uselessness..
I only pity the poor and under privileged....
Wars are fought until one party wins or they both sit down and forge everlasting peace Gerry mander until both parties agree to solve it once and for all.
Maps already give GOP ~16 extra seats (Brennan Center); full gerrymandering could push to 20-25 GOP advantage
Uprightness100: UK government spokesman to Politico: “We have informed the Government of Israel that we are prohibiting it from sending an official Defense Ministry delegation to this year’s annual DSEI arms exhibition in London due to the ongoing war in Gaza.” If the neighbors dis that and the army invaded them,the media would start crying genocide.
The spokesman clarified that Israeli companies will still be allowed to exhibit and participate in the exhibition, which will take place in September.
Anyone who wants to buy military equipment can as well get videos of desired weapons. Israel is a very large exporter of weaponry. There is no other country where neighbouring state fires rockets, missiles and rockets part from Israel. If Chad started firing rockets demanding lake Chad water catchments , Nigeria would buy several iron domes. Ditto Niger firing rockets willynilly into Nigeria. Solution is to just buy iron domes or develop out own anti rocket system.
iykofias: WATCH: Israeli envoy DENIAL of Gaza famine blown apart on live air
Former Israeli envoy to the US Danny Ayalon tried to claim “there is no famine in Gaza.” Journalist Mehdi Hasan ripped him apart with facts:
“Anera, Christian Aid, the Danish Refugee Council, the Norwegian Refugee Council, Polish Humanitarian Aid, Pax Christi, Sabil Kairos, Oxfam, Doctors Without Borders, Save the Children. I could go on and on, Danny. Are yougoing to say they're all Hamas? They're all pro-Hamas, are they? Ridiculous.”
When Ayalon insisted that aid groups were “naive” and relying on “Hamas data,” Hasan hit back:
“They are not talking about famine or Hamas propaganda. They’re saying their guys on the ground are being blocked from bringing in baby formula by Israelis at border crossings. That is their experience… A hundred aid groups are all wrong, Danny? Do you realize how silly you sound?”
The Israeli narrative collapsed in real time: the world sees the famine, the blocked trucks, the starving children — only Tel Aviv pretends not to.
There is more than enough food in Gaza that's delivered. Hamas takes all the food. Show me a photo of a Hamas jihadist who is starving.
Grandpa is happy because according to grandpa Quote
"it will give the incredible people of Missouri the tremendous opportunity to elect an additional MAGA Republican in the 2026 Midterm Elections — A HUGE VICTORY for our America First Agenda, not just in the "Show-Me State," but across our Nation."
Interesting times!
Democrats have gerrymandered to their fullest, without breaking any law. Tine republicans need to do the same .
bayelsaowei: How has it been in recent times? Like in 2025..?
Whats the stats like in 2025?
I know and believe that it has eased up a bit even with the tight regulations..no one today slits anyone's throat for wanting to open a church in Turkey..
Find out what it is like in recent years for Christians living in Turkey..
Turkey is restrained in oppressing christians because it badly wants to join the EU or the Schengen. Consider that before you believe the Sultan.
bayelsaowei: hahahahaha.. both the drugs and guns should be addressed.. the combination of these 2 items colliding only leads to chaos and killings.. you cant address one and leave the other..
Address both.
Your whole Masters Degree level hypothesis is that assault rifles go crazy and start shooting at random targets. You can ban narcotics but the demand will always be there
Lots of it Legal Framework: The 1923 Lausanne Treaty recognizes certain Christian minorities (primarily Armenian Orthodox, Greek Orthodox, and Syriac Christians) and grants them rights to maintain religious institutions, schools, and cultural practices.
Non-Muslims are generally allowed to practice their faith privately, but public expressions of Christianity, such as proselytizing or building new churches, face significant restrictions.
Challenges in Practice: Bureaucratic Hurdles: Obtaining permits to build or renovate churches is difficult, and many Christian communities operate in unregistered or makeshift spaces. The government has historically been slow to approve new church constructions.
Societal Attitudes: While urban areas like Istanbul and Izmir have more diverse populations, Christians in rural or conservative regions may face social hostility or discrimination. Converts from Islam to Christianity often experience significant social pressure or ostracism.
Legal Status of Churches: Many Christian denominations, especially Protestant and evangelical groups, struggle to gain official recognition as religious entities, which limits their ability to own property or operate legally.
Missionary Activities: Proselytizing is legal but highly sensitive and can lead to harassment or accusations of undermining Turkish culture or security. Some missionaries have faced deportation or legal challenges.
Historical Context: Turkey’s Christian population has dwindled significantly since the early 20th century (from ~20% to less than 0.2% today, roughly 100,000–150,000 Christians). This is due to historical events like the Armenian Genocide, population exchanges with Greece, and emigration driven by social and political pressures. The Greek Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarchate in Istanbul operates under restrictions, such as government oversight of its leadership selection and the closure of its seminary on Halki Island since 1971.
bayelsaowei: oboy...shootings are done by any one..white, black, straight, trans , LGBT.. the underlying problem is the proliferation and availability of guns to almost all persons in the US.
Solve that and you'd see less or no shootings.
Until america focuses on the root cause and not symptoms, shootings of this kind will continue to happen..
I would think the drugs and counselling administered to trans should be investigated. The world class extolling of transitioning should be laid bare. A transitioned kid already has an enemy list. The loudmouthed christians against him. Deluded as they are if and when they become suicidal,their angst is the whole Society,the schools that cohnselled them into mutilation. That's my opinion,it's not scientific.
raumdeuter: A trans guy went to a church and killed children that were praying
The Democratic establishment then decided to attack prayers and defend the shooter. Jake Tapper was on CNN asking what pronouns the shooter preferred to go by, Some in the media didnt even want to mention that he was trans
The state of the American left, Full scale insanity
The mother transitioned him at 17. Very important to CNN that you describe him as "HER"
It means something big . John Bolton squealed like a rat when the security was withdrawn, turns out he was using a personal server to send classified emails to his family from his office desk at the WH.. Kamala must've done something big, like selling secrets to China or India.. Maybe she was paid with a case of fine red wine.
raumdeuter: We are still waiting on Obaigwe1 to tell us the so called selfish interests that made Trump a billionaire to support Tyson, Jesse Jackson, Arsenio Hall, Don King and many prominent blacks 30yrs ago
He can't , he has to parrot Trump is racist. I also see he helped launch the career of Omarosa via the Apprentice,. Others were 50Cent ( he loaned him and adviced him) , Lil Wayne, Dennis Rodman and Kanye West etc all before 2010. Such a racist.
Merissa Hamilton 🗳 ⛽ 🗽🔥 @merissahamilton 🚨WHOA! MARICOPA COUNTY CORRUPTION ALERT⚠️
Public Records show Maricopa County Moves to Permanently Delete Senior Staff Emails from 2020 & 2022 Elections, Defying Potential DOJ @CivilRights Investigations 😤
@RecordersOffice
@azjustinheap sent a letter to Maricopa County Manager Pokorski identifying the pending actions by the head of their Elections IT department violate Arizona law and County policy, requesting they preserve the records🧐
This blatant disregard for transparency reeks of an attempt to bury election irregularities—especially suspect timing as DOJ and Trump Administration officials signal fresh probes into 2020 concerns and beyond
Fani Willis should have obtained these records before opening any investigation. She needed to prove the accusations against Georgia elections boards by Trump and his co-accused were without basis , That Maricopa County had nothing to hide about the elections. . We know she used the courts rejecting the 2020 petitions as proof of no fraud .
raumdeuter: At the time of the case, the guys admitted to the crime an admitted guilt, everyone who heard an accused admitting crime will say they should be punished
Trump took the advert asking for the law to be applied to them when they admit to crime
Everyone who knew Trump knew he was in support of many Blacks, he supported Mike Tyson Don King, Arsenio Hall, Trump defended Tyson as a young man being railroaded as far back as early 90s when he was to be jailed. Trump was described by Don King
Over 30yrs ago, Trump supported Jesse Jackson when he was doing his PUSH foundation to support minority business
Jesse Jackson on Trump : “When we opened this Wall Street project,” he continued. “He gave us space at 40 Wall Street, which was to make a statement about our having a presence there.” “Beyond that, in terms of reaching out and being inclusive, he’s done that too,” Jackson added. “He has this sense of the curious and a will to make things better.” “Aside from all of his style, and his pizazz, he’s a serious person who is an effective builder of people.”
Don King on Trump: “the only gladiator” capable of fixing a “rigged” and discriminatory system, especially for Black Americans
How is a racist man cited this much for defending Blacks
They hate him because he upset their Hillary project.
The most beautiful summary about democrats. I also add that democrats interest is only to gain power and maintain it . Whether they break the law or not, the end justifies the means.
Trump to JD Vance ‘ JD, I don’t know how I did it? I have actually gotten the Democrats to come out in defend crime "
bayelsaowei: you have concluded she is fraudulent. Based on what? Based on an allegation, with an ulterior motive to take down the present federal chair org?
Common.
Oh no. Lisa Crook had been criminally referred over two homes.
Another referral was filed yesterday , for a third home. She claimed it was a second hone, while in reality she was renting it out.
I guess there is still more to be unearthed. She wants a judge to rule on what cause the president must state in order to fire her She called the filing clerical errors. "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me" How many clerical errors is enough to convince you she is as crooked as they come.
budaatum: So, after all you've read buda write here you now believe buda supports some pig murdering the foetus in another person's belly?
What does that have to do with Trump? If a person can be charged with murder , how about the gazillion women who abort knowingly. It becomes murder when a foetus is aborted without the bearers consent , right? When the mother wants to abort it's not murder.
benalvino3: Because Trump has the power to fire her, given the situation.
She is fraudulent so he can kick her off
There are activist judges who seem to be there to overrule Trump. Her lawsuit has been assigned to a Biden judge. Alligator Alcatraz was ordered closed in 60 days by a judge, the DHS is already complying. The reasons were environmental, some group suing Judge then orders it shut down completely. A witness . Construction of a pathway could lead to more runoffs , the plaintiffs feared their water getting polluted.
bayelsaowei: let's wait for the courts to decide..
For now Trump can enjoy his firing spree..
You think any judge will side with someone who has knowingly filed false papers , though Obama and Biden judges are just liberal activists decked in black robes.
benalvino3: She has been fired. Trump can do that except the court says he can't. That's why she is suing.
She went through a confirmation by the Senate..She didn't inform them that she had listed two homes as her primary residence then . They would not have approved her. In her defiant statement she has still not explained why she did that, she says she didn't get due process. .
I don't see SCOTUS taking her side . From the way I see it, she got the mortgage of a home on better terms financially as her primary residence while in reality she had rented it out.
“I only keep [the long hair] because it is pretty much my last shred of being trans. I am tired of being trans, I wish I never brain-washed myself,” he wrote, according to a translation by The Post.
"I regret being trans.. I wish I was a girl I just know I cannot achieve that body with the technology we have today. I also can’t afford that,” he said.
Budaatum, the abortion lover. An unborn child is not just a clump of cells. Man charged with homicide for knowingly sipping abortion pills tobhis pregnant girlfriend who didn't want to abort.
Evans faces two counts of intentional homicide of an unborn child, a felony that could send him to prison for up to 60 years. It’s akin to a first-degree murder charge
It's homicide to murder an unborn child. benalvino3
I called him foul mouthed the other day off politics and off the microphone. But he calls everything beautiful, great, yuuge, generally he is full of superlatives.
Washington DC residents are living in fear because of the expanded police police presence. Mayor acknowledged crimes have really gone down since the surge. Don't know whether it's NBC putting words in her mouth , be the judge.
Mayor Muriel Bowser says Trump's surge of federal law enforcement has lowered crime in D.C. The Democratic mayor also said the presence of masked ICE agents and National Guard members “is not working.”
01:46 Aug. 27, 2025, 10:57 PM GMT+3 / Updated Aug. 28, 2025, 12:43 AM GMT+3 By Rebecca Shabad WASHINGTON — D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser on Wednesday credited President Donald Trump's directed surge of federal law enforcement with lowering crime in the nation's capital but made it clear that the presence of immigration agents and National Guard troops is "not working."
Bowser conveyed her ambivalent view of the Trump administration's federalization of D.C. in a situational update since Trump announced efforts to combat crime in the city on Aug. 7. On one hand, she said the changes have resulted in less crime, but on the other she also expressed deep concern about residents' "living in fear."
"We greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance what MPD has been able to do in this city," Bowser, a Democrat, told reporters about the expansion of federal law enforcement and its partnership with the Metropolitan Police Department.
Carjackings, she said, were the "most troubling" crime that plagued D.C. in 2023, and they have decreased in recent years. Bowser said that in the 20 days since the federal takeover, there has been an 87% drop in carjackings compared with the same period last year. The data cited also showed a 15% fall in crime overall in the district during the same period last year.
"We know that when carjackings go down, when use of guns goes down, when homicide or robbery go down, neighborhoods feel safer and are safer, so this surge has been important to us," said Bowser, who added that she has been personally engaged with Attorney General Pam Bondi and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles.
Several members of the City Council rebuked Bowser's conciliatory remarks, chiding her for characterizing the surge of federal law enforcement as helpful despite many Democrats’ warnings that Trump is using scare tactics to exert his presidential authority over the city.
I don't understand the not working part when the objectives are being achieved. NBC knows democrats will parrot the not working talking point
cococandy: Trumplicans cosplaying as people who have a mind of their own will never not be amusing to watch. Look at them fighting for “fRee spEecH” after they’ve supported the most horrendous acts of speech suppression by this administration.
They can tweet in disagreement all they want but they wouldn't even try to stop him even if they could. And they'll all still vote for his criminal self.
I’ve never thought of burning a flag (why would I?) but the ironic thing is, that the flag code actually calls for burning an old flag to destroy it. So this flag burning executive order Trump’s ignorance playing out as usual in 4K
He doesn’t understand you’re supposed to burn or bury the flag to retire it whenever it’s out of commission.
Kids learn this at age 10-12 in boy/girl scout class . So sick of the cos-playing patriots and their low IQ BS.
As explained by Raum, though I doubt anything Trump can ever be good to you , Trump knows the executive order will be blocked , he wants liberals to come out and support flag burning. Y
