I do not acknowledge any sich nonsense, not even now that dump is using them to pursue his enemies.

Democrats arrested Trump lawyers, aides , staffers , valet over trumped up crimes. Your reasoning stops at no crime can be committed as long it's against Trump and anyone around him.

Raumdeuter, bayelsaowei, basilico, this is what blacks think about Trump's DC initiative


While democrats make excuses for criminals, blacks killing themselves, robbing, and every degenerate nonsense, Trump and Republicans tend to provide safety for everyone.

Violent crimes are already down at least 25%, and jacking is down 80%

Murder is down.

Let's not forget that the killing of a little black girl is what triggered Trump's action.

Democrats are the ones who call for defunding the police. Some want police to be unarmed while others want social workers instead of LEO to approach crime scenes involving psychopaths.
They are afraid that if the DC experiment is wildly successful the rest of the violent cities and states will demand the same level of security provided by national guard and feds. Democrat governor's won't allow the NG to be deployed, but there are Republican governors who can allow their deployment in blue cities within their jurisdictions. There should be work arounds for Trump admin to call up the NG where governors are intransigent.

You should tell this to the author so he can stop thrashing his own work.

Acknowledge that the FBI and CIA are criminal organisations. The FBI refused to investigate the 2020 electoral results , saying that they didn't find enough fraud to change the election outcome . Once you start getting lawsuits over claims FBI refused to investigate , you may be forced to swallow your words.
The drip drip about America criminal politicians is agonizingly slow, I doubt many will be convicted , but the information will be out hopefully. (I want the bitvabiut Marc Elias badly)
What gives me a good night sleep is the revelation by Tulsi Gabbard that Obama is a criminal Piece of Shit.

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-epstein-files-releasee-distraction/

---if there are credible reasons for Bolton to be charged---so be it---he should have his day in the court---

Trump hires in his first term were courtesy of recommendation by his aides He was not a politician, and he came in thinking politicians are trustworthy. His worst picks were Mike Pence, Cris Wray, Rod Rosenstein ,Bill Barr and Jeffery Simmons. Add John Bolton.

About John Bolton.. As Nat Sec Advisor He received the Durham annex that revealed Obama and ,Hillary were the prime movers of the Russia hoax in conjunction with the FBI and CIA. He never briefed Trump about it ,which would have been crucial in the first impeachment. He locked it away in a safe, and kept quiet as the media pushed the fake Russian interference.

Your link shows DOJ withdrew Bolton the suit , unless you are implying Joe Biden was just a stooge, the buck stops with him.

He should have his day in court,his office was also raided . Trump had revoked his security clearance and secret service protection months ago, he knew something .What you posted , his tweets show he's in advanced stages of TDS.

Lisa Cook. The first black female federal Reserve governor . A DEI appointment by Joe Biden has been caught engaging in mortgage fraud. She listed a residence as her primary when applying for a mortgage, 30 days later she took another residential mortgage filing documents that twas her primary residence. 6 months later she listed the first one for rental. So she was criminally refered for investigation by the DOJ. There is a big chance she never lived in the first one and was probably renting it out all the time.. Bankers should be beyond reproach ..like Ceaser's wife.

“I have no intention of being bullied to step down from my position because of some questions raised in a tweet,” Cook said in a statement. “I do intend to take any questions about my financial history seriously as a member of the Federal Reserve and so I am gathering the accurate information to answer any legitimate questions and provide the facts.”

Ed Martin wants her to resign. Trump said he will fire her if she doesn't resign.

She plays the race card pretty well we expected.

Some of her social media posts.

During a Martin Luther King Jr. speech in 2019, Cook charged that “lack of diversity was the root of the financial crisis and the Great Recession.”

Cook responded “Yes!” to someone suggesting a New Yorker article that argued that “American democracy has survived Donald J. Trump

Cook claimed in a July 2020 interview with a German podcast that alleged racial disparities with the coronavirus pandemic, health, work, and the environment are “rooted in systemic racism". During a 2021 discussion she claimed that the economy is “trillions of dollars smaller than it should be because of racism.”

bayelsaowei:
why was Trump raided. Trump wey be criminal..

Why is Trump raiding this man? Tell me why Mr defender of Trump (the sex trafficking mogul)..

There was a classified information probe opened by FBI on Bolton. Biden shut it down, Bolton was then a Trump critic. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Again Bolton had released a book , In 2020 Trump Whitehouse warned him not leave out details which were of a classified origination.

In the weeks following the Ma-o-Lago raid, Bolton appeared across major networks like CNN, CBS, and ABC. Bolton was psychotically critical of Pres Trump while praising Biden’s thugs.

August 11, 2022 CNN: Bolton defended Biden’s FBI: “Overwhelmingly, they are professional in carrying out their duties… I don’t recognize a lot of the criticisms that are being made of these institutions.”
August 15, 2022 The Independent: Bolton said Pres Trump’s “excuses for retaining classified papers show “desperation”: “It worried people all the time… almost nothing would surprise me about what’s in the documents at Mar-a-Lago.”
August 15, 2022 MSNBC: Bolton slammed GOP defenses of Pres Trump, saying his handling of classified info was “always a concern.”
August 23, 2022 ABC. Bolton the raid: “Reports suggest the former president was holding onto more than 300 pages of classified documents.”
August 26, 2022 Business Insider: Bolton said Pres Trump is “almost certainly” lying about declassifying documents: “I’d never heard of any kind of order like that.”
September 2, 2022 CBS News: Bolton said Pres Trump showed “disdain” for classification: “It just didn’t register with him that safeguarding this information… could be jeopardized.”

No one is above the law

Romanian elections. Article which is not verified as of now suggests Biden admin instigated the annulment of the Romanian elections citing Russia interference.

....bombshell revelation is brewing in Washington. According to a high-level source inside the Trump administration, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is now reviewing a secret dossier on the December 6, 2024 coup d’état in Romania—one that points directly to former Biden regime officials.

The file reportedly names three top Biden operatives: disgraced Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, his assistant James O’Brien, and U.S. Ambassador to Bucharest Kathleen Kavalec. Their fingerprints, according to the source, are all over Romania’s election annulment.

In a scheme that looks eerily familiar, the Biden crew allegedly teamed up with Romanian insiders—including former Foreign Minister Luminita Odobescu, ex-Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu, and former President Klaus Iohannis—to overturn Romania’s presidential vote under the tired pretext of “Russian interference.

Antony Blinken is the one who organized 51 former Intelligence Community criminals to sign on to the lie that the Hunter Biden laptop was classic Russian disinformation, yet FBI had verified it's contents over a year ago at the time.

Socialists losing grip , Venezuelan Dominion Rigging Machine declared wanted drug dealer Maduro the winner.

Bolivia August 2025 election, the socialist Movement for Socialism (MAS) party, which had dominated for nearly two decades, suffered a major defeat. Centrist Rodrigo Paz took 32.8% of the vote, and right-wing Jorge “Tuto” Quiroga secured 26.4%, leading to a runoff on October 19, 2025. The MAS candidate, Eduardo del Castillo, got only 3.2%, and another leftist, Andrónico Rodríguez, earned 8%. This shift was driven by economic woes—25% inflation, fuel shortages, and dwindling reserves—fueling voter frustration with MAS’s policies.

Over the past year, several nations saw liberal or leftist parties lose ground in elections, often to centrist or right-wing candidates, reflecting economic discontent or ideological shifts. Here are key examples:
Argentina (November 2024): Libertarian Javier Milei won the presidency, defeating the Peronist (left-leaning) candidate. His victory came amid economic collapse, with inflation exceeding 140% and poverty rates soaring. Milei’s fiscal reforms and rejection of traditional leftist policies resonated with voters.

Ecuador (February 2025): Right-wing Daniel Noboa consolidated power after a snap election, capitalizing on public frustration with leftist policies and rising crime. The left-leaning Citizens’ Revolution movement lost significant ground.
Honduras (November 2024): The conservative National Party regained the presidency, ousting the leftist Libre Party led by Xiomara Castro. Economic stagnation and governance issues were cited as reasons for the shift.

However, leftist parties held or gained ground in some places:
Mexico (June 2024): The left-leaning Morena party, led by Claudia Sheinbaum, won the presidency, continuing progressive policies focused on poverty reduction.
Colombia (ongoing): Gustavo Petro’s leftist government has faced challenges but remains in power, with no major national election losses in the past year.
Venezuela (July 2024): Despite controversy, Nicolás Maduro’s socialist government claimed victory in a disputed election, maintaining control amid economic crisis and international skepticism

James Comey leaked and authorized staffers to leak classified information to hurt Trump. He denied it in congressional testimony. Prosecutors gathered the necessary evidence but refused to prosecute,democrats can do no wrong.

https://justthenews.com/government/federal-agencies/exclusive-prosecutors-secured-evidence-comey-authorized-classified

The USPIS Investigation also revealed Baker disclosed USG [U.S. government] classified information to the NYT under the belief he was ultimately instructed and authorized to do so by then FBI Director James Comey," one summary memo reads. "
...........
Patel told Just the News the evidence he uncovered raised concerns that one of his predecessors may have authorized illegal leaks and lied about it. "These newly declassified memos show how former FBI leadership authorized classified leaks and withheld the truth from Congress and the American people,"

They raided Mar a Lago looking for classified documents. Documents most likely the Durham annex that revealed FBI, Obama,Brennan cooked up the Russia hoax and spied on Trump campaign.

Media is the worst culprit They were the PR arm of these criminal traitors .

I hate how these revelations are coming out of one outlet. There should be indictments. On the other hand pundits are suggesting that the National Guard and Feds deployment to DC could be a warning to violent protesters when the criminal PoS Obama and his henchmen are indicted.

Letitia James $500 million dollar case against Trump thrown out by Appeals court
Mmmm I'll backtrack and see what some like budaatum said then.
Trump should sue Letitia for wasting his time ,money ,for smearing him and gross election interference .
Justice shalt be served.

** Appeals court said fine is excessive***

So the Appeals Court first ordered Trump to deposit $175 million before they could hear the appeal,now they have said the penalty was excessive, Letitia to seek a lower one. What took them so long ,if the Appeal Cort wasn't looking at the election?

raumdeuter:
Trump baited them and they fell for it. The truth is most Democrat controlled states were already fully gerrymandered and have little opportunities compared to GOP led states

Go on chatgpt and ask it that "if both parties gerrymander to the maximum level, what will be the composition of Congress"

The response is

Studies that simulate "max gerrymanders" (using algorithms rather than just partisan maps) find:

If Republicans gerrymander every state they control and Democrats do the same:

GOP could get ~55–60% of House seats (≈ 240–260 seats).

Democrats would hold ~40–45% (≈ 175–195 seats).

In a neutral / fair map scenario, it would be closer to 50/50 or slight GOP edge.

Source examples: Princeton Gerrymandering Project, FiveThirtyEight redistricting simulations, and political science research.

If both parties gerrymander to the maximum, the House would lean Republican — likely around 240–260 GOP seats vs 175–195 Democratic seats — mainly because of voter distribution. The Senate would remain unaffected

That's what I've seen also. In other words democrats took advantage while republicans did zilch.
Meanwhile the open borders bringing in 8-10 million extra people and settling them in heavily Democratic cities and states would see the census count them and increase the number of gerrymandered seats to favour them. Trump has ordered a census that doesn't count non citizens , of course they are not amused. Because if only citizens are counted they still lose more seats without gerrymandering.

A Senior CIA officer for 30 years confirms the psychological operations they use overseas were turned against Donald Trump and the American People to keep Democrats in power

“An intelligence agent, now retired, very senior. He looked me in the eye and said, the truth of the matter is, we took the playbook for psychological operations and information warfare that we would use against our enemies, and we turned it against the American people to undo the 2016 election and to make sure they didn't elect Donald Trump in 2020.

Now, that is a senior intelligence officer with more than 30 years of experience, a patriot who served in some of the most dangerous parts of the world, and he understood that the tactics of making something fake look real were ripped right out of our intelligence communities.

Our intelligence agencies not only harmed Donald Trump, they were harming the American public, the national security interests of the American public”

See. There was no reason whatsoever to raid Mar a Lago. This coming from FBI director. What other serious crimes did FBI and DOJ commit.

---To the NL MAGA economists---Sony will hike PS5 prices Thursday as a result of Trump's trade war---

https://www.axios.com/2025/08/20/sony-ps5-price-increase-trump-tariffs

Sony is raising the price of its PlayStation 5 consoles by $50 each in the U.S. beginning Thursday, the company announced on Wednesday.

Why it matters: The move reflects companies starting to buckle under pressure from President Trump's tariffs, raising prices or signaling that increases are coming.

What they're saying: "Similar to many global businesses, we continue to navigate a challenging economic environment," Sony said in a blog post.

"As a result, we've made the difficult decision to increase the recommended retail price for PlayStation 5 consoles in the U.S. starting on August 21."
The recommended retail prices for PlayStation 5 accessories "remain unchanged," however.
State of play: The new prices in the U.S. range from $550 to $750.

PlayStation 5 – $549.99
PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – $499.99
PlayStation 5 Pro – $749.99

---Winter of hike prices is coming---

If they were to make them in America, would they be bought because the prices would be higher ?
Logically according to the article , everything should be manufactured in China because it's cheaper.
Can as well import coal fried pizzasfrom Shenzhen.

The prize in Ukraine was Kiev. His rag tag army got beat back. The invasion was being talked of as a matter of days.
Russia is overrated . You cannot deny that ,it's lost less soldiers than Ukraine despite western propaganda and I also understand Putin doesn't want to destroy civilian infrastructure.

Lol @ Gavin Newsome.
Reminded me how ridiculous Trump, his supporters and this timeline are.
This 70 year old man said his ear got blown off, he wore a huge maxi-pad on it, then said it regrew back 2 weeks later like Wolverine with nary a scar.
And the media barely questioned the nonsense.

Very strange that incident.
CNN had ignored 93 rallies that year only for them to show up on that particular one for live coverage.

Then Dr Jill and Kamala suddenly had a function in PA , so most of the Secret Service resources were diverted to their gigs.

4 days before the shooting In a J uly 8, 2024: Private Donor Call (Partially Reported by Media)Event: Biden spoke on a private call with donors, where he said, “It’s time to put Trump in the bullseye.”

Where Secret Service were not stationed on a roof because it has a slope according to fired SS Boss

Where Cris Wray said it was not clear whether twas fragments or a bullet..

WriteerNg:
Oh ok... Should be pretty easy to crush Russia then.

I can't wait for them to rush into Ukraine and use those training and 8 billion bullets to crush Russia in 2 months.

Neither can I . Russia military is overrated. Though fighting with NATO plus Ukraine, they should be bombing anything at will. If there were western armies on the ground and not conscripts grabbed off the street Moscow would be within sights.
See how IDF walks in anywhere like the boss. It how NATO strolled into Kuwait .

dvkot:
you are joking with your third statement right? Because I don't even know how to respond to that.

You are comparing a State control defense industry that focus on state security to a privately owned industry that focuses on profit.

Even if the use 1billion ammunition rounds its all about profit for defense industries.

We saw a real life test in the 3years war with Ukraine and iran 12 days war.

The West ran out of AD first before iran ran out of missiles.
Russia ammunition production cost wayyy less than same from the west..
The so called superior technology of the west is relatively useless against equal powers and the battlefield weapons will go dumb.
Production chain ability and mass quantity outweighs superior technology anyday, anytime.

I could go on and on but i dont have strength to type now

A trained well equiped military with no expenses spared wins the war

WriteerNg:
Wow, so bullets wins wars, not missiles and drones.

Learnt something new today.

It should be pretty easy for Ukraine to crush Russia in the next few months. Ukraine is backed by the Almighty USA.

I wonder why they're begging for a cease-fire when they have access to such mighty 8 billion ammunition rounds.

Meant the average soldier has fired enough bullets and us very well trained .
The average pilot has spent countless hours training for every possible mission scenario.
The army holds territory in a war.
Add air supremacy and the Americans will virtually beat any army.

I won't be surprised if he instructed his guys to start gathering data on everything they saw in Alaska.

If you really believe the bolded, then you must be a kid.

Maybe he collected data, but we all know his 4 S-300s were taken out by Israel in Iran. America is more capable in Suppressing Air defences than Israel.
In a purely conventional war with Russia, America would crush Russia within a few months
American military fires 2 billion rounds of ammunition in a year (wartime ) mostly for training. USAF consumes 8 billion litres of fuel annually accounting for 10% of US consumption. That makes it's military highly trained , nothing is spared

⚡Trump:

Zelensky can end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight.

I would think Zelensky has no choice but to accept the Russian held Ukraine territory as part of Ukraine without giving them up. Russia becomes an occupying power and is treated as such . Wealth generated from those territories can be shared among the two in a peace deal.
Putin gets what he wants
No gas from eastern Ukraine to Europe , Ukraine doesn't get to join NATO.
Putin returns some of the captured territory that has not held referendums.

WriteerNg:
⚡Zelensky says Ukraine's constitution makes giving up land "impossible," and should only be discussed at a trilateral meeting; if Russia "refuses," more sanctions "must" be imposed.

He is free to send his armies to reclak the land. Putin not giving him back Zelensky just wants war.

Even the radar absorbing paint on the ones that flew by.

And pass it to Iran, so the US get a wonderful surprise the next time they send those bombers to Iran.

I don't think so. Putin plane has radar, without Visuals it's possible he didn't know there were F-22s escorting him. I also think the B2 bombers that flew by was another way of telling Putin's, we can take out Moscow and you won't know what hit you.
Trump in his first term though overzealous was negotiating with a Taliban leader. He showed him a photo of his home , the Taliban never killed a single American after that.

Hillary Clinton supports Trump forcing hapless outmanoeuvred Europeans to up their NATO spending.

Tarlov: There’s been a lot of conversation about the breakdown of the post world war two order, and we don’t have the same kind of relationships with our allies. To put it in Clintonian terms, there’s a lot of dumb power being used, not a lot of smart power. How far, I guess, do you think this breakdown has been if we would be welcomed back into the proverbial fold. It seems like from the NATO summit that that is the case, that our European allies are just waiting for Donald Trump to turn around and say, “Actually, I would like to go back to more or less the way things were, because we are better together than we are on our own.” What are your thoughts on that?

Clinton: You know,Jessica, I actually was encouraged by the events of the last several months. First of all, the NATO commitment by individual member states to increase their defense spending is very welcome. It’s something that prior administrations have certainly sought, and I think it’s great that we are seeing these commitments that now have to be followed through on; the willingness of European countries to support Ukraine, and by doing so, buy American weapons in order to provide them to the Ukrainians.

I think all of that is a very good signal that there is beginning to be a better understanding, both by the President and the people around him, as well as by the leaders of our European allies, that there can be common ground amongst us, and the kind of dismissiveness that we saw in the first Trump administration has been replaced by a much more obvious working relationship to the good of European security, transatlantic security, and hopefully Ukrainian security. So, I’m actually encouraged.

Trump is also arming the Ukrainians, with a caveat. Europe buys the weapons then they can transfer them to Ukraine.

Gbadebo19:
At the bolded, if some Yoruba people are being "dehumanized" by a section of the Benin republic armed forces, is it enough reason for Nigeria to send the Nigerian army into Benin republic to "protect the so called native Nigerians?"

If so called native Russians are being dehumanized in another man's country, logic dictates that they should return home. And if they can't, they live according to the laws of that land and explore legal and non volent ways to express their plight to the central government NOT carrying arms against the government 🧏🧏

The native Russians in Ukraine are Ukraine Russians.

Putin doesn't want Ukraine replacing Russia as EU gas and energy supplier,the war disrupted Shell fracking developments in eastern Ukraine.
Ukraine also hiked the transit tariffs of Russia gas to EU bound pipeline forcing then to deploy alternative pipelines. Putin didn't need the Ukrainians that much after nordstream and turkstream.

I addressed the root cause. Overthrow of Ukraine govt via maidan and failure of the Minsk accord

Angela Merkel, the former Chancellor of Germany acknowledged that the agreements were not intended to resolve the conflict in the Donbas region but rather served to allow Ukraine time to strengthen its military capabilities.

In her reflections, she indicated that the 2014 Minsk agreement was part of a strategy that ultimately did not lead to a lasting peace but rather facilitated preparations for further military actions.

Gbadebo19:
Pootin asking to keep the Donbass sounds like a thief asking to keep stolen goods in return with a promise not to steal again. 🤡🤡

And why is Pootin asking Ukraine to withdraw from all of the Donbass region? I thought you were taking land everyday and controlling the whole of the Donbass. Nairaland armchair war generals, how market?🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

He took it by force " to protect native Russians who were being dehumanized by the Azov Nazi brigade '.
Ukrainians with the help of NATO are free to send their armies to take back their former territories. Putin is not giving it back,you want it come for it

EU want a ceasefire plan with boots on the ground protected by American military. Trump ruled that out. Both Putin and Trump want a peace agreement, not a ceasefire plan. The root of the conflict is the West overthrow of the then Russia friendly govt , and the failure of the west and Ukraine to honor the Minsk Agreements.
