bayelsaowei:Refer to screenshot below on my thoughts about redistricting and gerrymandering. Texas gained 5 seats after redrawing maps,, California responded to cancel the seats . In total Republicans have a net 9 seats and democrats 6. Indiana refused to go along with the WH plan. Virginia now wants to add more seats for democrats.. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/16/virginia-redistricting-democrats-vote# Should add them 4 seats. My point is that redistricting is morally wrong if done to eliminate competition,which is what democrats and republicans have been doing for years. This year the democrats must take back the house by hook or crook , Republicans acting like saints will only see them lose the House. Let every state wipe out minority parties through redistricting until one day they sit down and say enough is enough . I would be upset if I was Trump too. There is a faction within the Republican that don't want Trump to succeed in anything but have to play along because they ride on his coattails to get elected ,then stab him in the back. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) are currently in Denmark to support Denmark quest to retain Greenland against Trump. Same Denmark that compensated 4500 native Greenlander girls after sterilizing them without their knowledge. Same Senate that won't immediately confirm his US Attorneys which allowed Letitia James and Comey cases to be thrown out. Same Senate that won't codify his Executive Orders and has not passed the law requiring voter ID already passed by the house. One giant scheme to pretend they support Trump while they run out the clock.

bayelsaowei:Liberals doxx agents . Then they send threats to the agents and their families. Democrats want agents to not wear masks so they can be identified. Logic and reason to liberals don't mix. She stole the sensitive federal property in Minneapolis..

🚨 “SAVAGE ATTACK”: Independent journalist Jake Lang Left with Significant Head Gash in Minneapolis Clashes 🚨 A brutal new update has emerged from the streets of Minneapolis, where conservative activist Jake Lang was reportedly targeted and beaten during his "March Against Minnesota Fraud". While a graphic photo of the injury is circulating online, we cannot show the image here due to its sensitive and violent nature. The Details of the Assault: • Lang reports that his head was split open by a strike from a wooden flag pole wielded by an anti-ICE rioter. • Before the head injury, Lang and his group were reportedly pelted with ice blocks, water balloons, and paintballs as they were hounded through downtown. • The assault didn't end with the head wound; the mob then followed Lang to his getaway vehicle, prying open the doors and "booting" him while he was already bleeding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HX6HF9gPR0c&source_ve_path=MTc4NDI0 Such acts don't give me any reason to support democrats at all. Another group had a busy day 🚨Protesters Target Tesla Diner as the “Tesla Takedown” Continue A group of activists gathered outside the Tesla Diner in West Hollywood on Friday night, January 16, 2026, to protest CEO Elon Musk and his ongoing ties to the Trump administration. Chanting "Boycott Tesla, Boycott Elon Musk," the demonstrators used the "retro-futuristic" charging hub as a focal point to express their frustration with Musk's influence on American democracy and his role in major government spending cuts. The newly sworn in Virginia Governor has rescinded an Executive Order mandating Virginia cooperation with ICE and DHS. |
bayelsaowei:Not that I support it, it would be comical if he tariffs those EU countries until Denmark agrees to sell Greenland,then use the tariff money to buy it. Again he is dividing the EU. I didn't know that the American market is that critical to the EU . EU needs to figure out how to be competitive against Chinese products , now that it has to shoulder the burden of Ukraine . |
EnlightenedUFO:I am being proven right in real time. Media you consume is nothing but vile democrat propaganda. I've proven that last few days.

Recap. Scott Besset has sent IRS auditors to Minnesota to audit the fraud at every level . Gov Tim Walz had told the Minnesota people to stalk ICE agents ,record them for possible future prosecutions. Mayor Frey has called the presence of ICE agents an occupation,he also pretended that Reene Wood didn't hit the agent .Later said it was a small injury ( internal bleeding). The agent has been doxxed his family has gone into hiding. They are setting up the repeat scene akin to George Floyd riots. Which were overseen by Gov Tim Walz and his AG Keith Ellison. Two incidents last few days. Incident 1 Rioters accosted FBI agents forcing them to flee and broke into their car stealing a rifle plus documents doxxing over 4500 agents . The liberal woman who stole has been identified ,is seen in photos with Ilhan Omar. "I have paperwork from these vehicles with full FBI first and last names, phone numbers, emails, addresses.It has where they take it. Her name is MIRA ALTOBELL-RESENDEZ The thug who stole the rifle has been arrested. His name is Raul Guttierez he comes across as a complete package, a lengthy rap sheet longer than a dictionary. Incident 2. Three Venezuelan nationals lilegally in the country ambushed an ICE agent during a routine traffic stop in Minneapolis on January 14, 2026, showing once again the real-world consequences of wide-open borders. Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, already wanted by ICE with prior arrests for driving without a license and using false identities, led the attack after fleeing and crashing. Two other illegals who entered under the previous administration—Alfredo Alejandro Ajorna and Gabriel Alejandro Hernandez-Ledezma—joined in, assaulting the officer with a snow shovel and broom handle. The agent, outnumbered three-to-one and fearing for his life, fired in self-defense, hitting Sosa-Celis in the leg. All three suspects barricaded themselves before being taken into custody and now face serious federal charges It's now been revealed a grand jury has issued subpoenas to Tim Walz and Mayor Frey over their role in the incitements.
Icing on the cake. A Biden judge has issued an insane order barring feds from using pepper spray or arresting protesters who are following the ICE agents blowing whistles and impeding their actions. U.S. District Judge Kate Menendez, a Biden appointee who sits in Minneapolis..... order bars Homeland Security and ICE officials involved in Operation Metro Surge from “using pepper-spray or similar nonlethal munitions and crowd dispersal tools against persons who are engaging in peaceful and unobstructive protest activity.” The judge also prohibited federal agents from stopping vehicles following them, as long as those vehicles are maintaining a safe and “appropriate” distance. This seems a coordinated effort to allow riots. Last image..Owner of Quality Learing Centre seen behind Minneapolis Mayor Frey.Tag team Uugh. Ouch.

bayelsaowei:So Trump is vile by his actions. How about Biden ,the staunch Catholic? Why you don't do a a few list of vile Trump actions and a few Biden vile ones for comparison. |
Nastymods:When democrats were in power they went after Trump with every arsenal they had. Now they are whining that he is going after his opponents. At the same time they are saying they will go after Republicans when they take over. |
Climate Change fraud .German Chancellor admits shutting down 3 nuclear reactors was a huge mistake. History is repeating itself in a big way! On January 15, 2026, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz officially admitted that Germany’s decision to abandon nuclear energy was a “serious strategic mistake” that has resulted in the most expensive energy transition in the world. 👉 The Warning (2018): Standing before the UN General Assembly, President Trump issued a blunt warning: “Germany will become totally dependent on Russian energy if it does not immediately change course”. 👉 The Reaction (2018): Members of the German delegation were caught on camera laughing and chuckling at the warning. They dismissed his concerns as "freedom gas" salesmanship while forging ahead with the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. 👉 The Reality (2026): Chancellor Merz—who was sworn in as leader on May 6, 2025—now admits the country has inherited a crisis. Speaking to a business group in Dessau, Merz blasted the policies of his predecessors, including Angela Merkel, for shutting down the last three reactors in April 2023 amid a global energy crisis. The Brutal Honesty from Chancellor Merz: “Huge Mistake”: Merz stated that phasing out nuclear was a “serious strategic mistake” that left Germany with insufficient generation capacity "To have acceptable market prices for energy production again, we would have to permanently subsidize energy prices from the federal budget,” Merz said, adding: “We can’t do this in the long run.” “So, we are now undertaking the most expensive energy transition in the entire world,” Merz said with pronounced frustration. “I know of no other country that makes things so expensive and difficult as Germany.”. While China is setting up nuclear and thermal plants ,Europe stupidly chose to shut down cheap energy and move to unreliable renewables. The windmills and solar equipment are imported from China because of it's cheaper energy. This was a calculated deliberate plan IMO to destroy the west . |
Michael Cohen was forced to testify against Trump by Letitia and Alvin Bragg in order reduce his sentence and home confinement. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15472125/michael-cohen-investigation-donald-trump.htm Straight up ,the convictions of Trump should be tossed out. A judge has consistently blocked the state cases from being moved to federal courts. Democrats have damaged the judicial system beyond repair. In their quest to stop Trump they went after his movement,damaging and destroying everyone they could.As Trump often said "they are after everyone,he is the stumbling block". Democrats wouldn't achieve any of this without Republicans complicity. Many political republicans would be happy to get rid of Trunp once and for all. .cc obrigardo feedthenation |

FBI 2025 , 6 months analysis of homicide cases by race .This don't look good for blacks. 55.7% Black 41.7% White/Latino/North African/Middle Eastern/Central Asian/Gypsy/Ect. 1.3% American Indian/Alaskan Native 0.9% East Asian 0.3% Hawaiian Native/Pacific Islander https://national-conservative.com/fbi-55-7-of-homicide-suspects-were-black-during-the-first-half-of-2025/ Homicide rates throughout the years, black representation very consistent. Black percentage of known US homicide suspects: 2024, Black: 56.4% 2023, Blacks were 56.3% 2022, Blacks were 57.6% 2021, Blacks were 60.4% (Huge dip in participating agencies) 2020, Blacks were 56.6% 2019, Blacks were 55.9% 2018, Blacks were 54.8% 2017, Blacks were 54.2% 2016, Blacks were 53.5% 2015, Blacks were 53.3% 2014, Blacks were 53.0% I think this dataset need to be widely publicized without the fear of being called racist ,so that the black people can have a candid discussion about it, then work backwards to solve itm. It's a shame that 15.2% of a population can be responsible for over half of all homicides throughout the years. |
DeepSight:If you want the remnibi as the The Yuan exchange rate regime is a managed float (often described as a "dirty float" or "crawling peg-like" system):Each trading day, the PBOC sets a daily central parity rate (midpoint fix) against the USD, informed by the previous day's close, market quotes, and a basket of currencies (via the CFETS index, which includes the USD, euro, yen, etc.). The onshore yuan (CNY) can trade within a narrow band (±2% as of recent years) around this fix. The PBOC intervenes frequently—directly (via state banks) or indirectly (e.g., adjusting liquidity, issuing yuan bills offshore, or using reserves)—to keep the rate stable, prevent sharp depreciation/appreciation, or counter market pressures.. The dollar's exchange rate is freely floating: its value against other currencies is determined by market forces—supply and demand in forex markets, influenced by economic data, interest rate differentials, investor sentiment, trade balances, and geopolitical factors. It sounds trendy and sexy calling for abolishing the dollar as the reserve currency to some. To others ,it sounds foolish. It's like mindlessly repeating the mantra tax the billionaires out of existence. |
basilico:I make a comment here ,then Trump repeats something similar days later. Looks like he reads my posts 😁😁😁 I should patent everything I write here.

Trump to announce a power auction. Tech giants will pay for new power generation https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2011961894425256023 Makes a lot of Sense.Google recently stated they have servers,GPUs equipment etc for data centres. Getting connected to the grid is a decades long delay at times. AI and Cloud Services data centres consume large amounts of power that had not been provisioned for. BREAKING: Tomorrow, in an unprecedented move, President Trump is expected to announce an "emergency power auction" that would force technology giants to pay for new power plants. The initiative is expected to construct $15 BILLION worth of new power plants. PJM, the nation's largest grid operator, will be leading the initiative with Trump. As we have stated before, this year will be largely about affordability ahead of the midterm elections. The ongoing electricity crisis we are facing due to AI demand will only get worse without intervention. Most recently, the average US retail price for electricity gained +7.4% in September, to a record 18.07 cents/kWh. This week, Trump said, “I never want Americans to pay higher electricity bills because of data centers." Electricity is the next hot topic. |
[quote author=bemeruca post=138150712]Bayelsaowei, Obama ICE deported his own Uncle to Kenya is one of the most devious characters . Rod Blagojevich ,forner Illinois Governor was jailed 8 years for a non crime . Obama was also behind the Russia collusion,weaponizing intelligence. He also used the IRS to go after the Tea Party He secretly subpoenaed the phone records of Associated Press reporters and editors and branded a Fox News reporter a "co-conspirator" in a leak investigation. |

Collated by AI as factual without bias. Before recent U.S. actions effectively seized control of Venezuela's oil sales, the Maduro government was selling its flagship Merey heavy crude to Chinese buyers at a significant discount of around $10 to $14 per barrel below the international Brent crude benchmark price. This week, for comparison, the U.S. has sold its first cargoes of the same Venezuelan oil at a discount of around $6 to the Brent benchmark, fetching a 30% higher price than the Maduro regime was able to secure. Financial Overview Discount to Brent: Venezuelan crude typically trades at a discount due to its heavy quality (requiring specialized refining) and the impact of U.S. sanctions, which forced sales into "shadow" markets. Loan Repayment: A portion of the oil shipped to China was not for immediate cash but was allocated to repaying an estimated $10 billion to $12 billion in outstanding loans from China. Market Disruption: Following the recent U.S. intervention and blockade, Chinese buyers have reduced their intake of Venezuelan oil, as the shrinking discount makes the cargo less attractive compared to other sanctioned crude supplies from Russia and Iran. Previous Deals: Historically, China has extended over $60 billion in loans to Venezuela since 2007, often in exchange for guaranteed future oil shipments. ** *Venezuela extra heavy oil yieds upto 60% asphalt. Iranian heavy oil yilelds 10-15%. China has an insatiable demand for asphalt for its infrastructure projects*** *** China pumped Venezuela with loans ,building infrastructure and so on. In return Venezuela exported average 642,000 bpd to China This oil was discounted at $10-14 per barrel to the Brent crude. A fraction of the oil in barrels was to repay those loans ,the amount raised from the rest would be sent to Maduro Govt*** |
If Iran falls, anorher major Chinese oil source falls under an American friendly government. Trump has acknowledged Zelensky is the obstacle to ending the war. Zelensky wants more money ,which USA has but don't want to give. EU by being sidelined over the talks is intent in sabotaging any peace deal . Trump will give Putin concessions with promises of removing sanctions and restarting relationships with the west. Which is really what Putin craves. If Putin can sign deals to resume EU energy supplies, he can accept say a 25 year deal to control Eastern Ukraine . Zelensky walks away without permanently ceding an inch of territory to Russia. China's global influence will be severly diminished if Russia gets back to western good books and the Ayatollah is toppled. |
benalvino3:If USA pulls out of NATO,Putin walks all over Ukraine . EU leaders are spineless, Trump is ignoring them over Russian Ukraine war. They are the ones prolonging the war ,now NATO wants to fight America in Greenland 😄😄😄 |
bemeruca:I gathered that the no jurisdiction for district judges don't just mean location. It's that once an immigration judge orders final removal, the matter can only be escalated to an appeals court not to a district court. The district court has no say in matters immigration. If so ,then these district judges don't know the law or they are intentionally sabotaging . I believe SCOTUS Judge Roberts should have issued guidelines a long time ago ,instead of waiting for case by case to work their way up. It's time wasting taking up each ruling at a time . |
When I mean to do justice to a job , I roll up my sleeves and get stuck in.

Keen enough to notice the pattern? The elite call Climate change the greatest threat to humanity which will cause sea level rises after the glaciers melt. Then they go ahead and buy beach homes. The other prominent Climate Change Proponent,Obama has beach homes in yes Martha's Vineyard and in Hawaii. Al Gore also owns a beach home in St Barbara. |
Now I can laugh. Let me see anyone pushing disinformation from liberal media . Mainstream media is nothing but liars. Now proven beyond reasonable doubt.

Only worth quoting after extensive verification. |
