And as a supposedly educated man, you mean you cannot tell why no one will establish White Entertainment Television or White History Month?

Who did this to you?

Honestly, I really feel sorry for you.

Because there is an essential part of your humanity that is broken.
They can't because they would be called racist
Somehow you always seem to not understand basic stuff .
Blacks in America have a lot of privileges, they can play the racist card to get a black president who then does nothing for them.
They can use the race card to sue Elon Musk for not hiring enough of them.
They can have their own exclusive companies without hiring any other race .
They have 22% representation at the SCOTUS.

You can continue calling Trump a racist for this too.
Yes, Mar-a-Lago did open its doors to Black people, Jewish people, and other minorities.

Before Donald Trump bought the estate and converted it into a commercial private club in 1995, many of the elite, old-guard social clubs in Palm Beach, Florida, had strict, unwritten policies that excluded Black and Jewish members. Mar-a-Lago became the first major club in the area to openly accept members regardless of their race or religion.

Iran has been attacking and killing Americans for 47;years. Time someone put a stop instead of throwing the can down the line.

Iran has lost $5 Billion with the blockade.They.are making offers right left and centre .
How would they demand the strait be opened if they still have enriched uranium ln their hands crazy nutjobs.
In a few weeks their storage runs out. They shut down the wells.They will require expensive expertise they don't have to get the wells up and running after the war. Currently they are using their sanctioned dark fleet tankers to store their oil😃😃😃
$450 million of their crypto has been seized.
Their neighbors don't want anything to do with them ,Their bet on Muslim nations rising up against the America and Israel has backfired spectacularly.
UAE is out of OPEC and has signed a futures deal with South Korea.
Other countries could follow suit.
Iran is bleeding from every pore,their currency which stood at 70 to the dollar in 1979 is now at over 1.5 million.
The money Hamas and Hezbollah used to get from Qatar ,Iran etc has dried up. Those terrorist groups support Iran who is hated by all other Middle East nations.

It's a very big strategic shift in middle east , to be felt for generations.
Think of it , a free Iran is a much better ally than Turkey to America and NATO

WriterrNg:


And whose fault is that?

Would any of this have happened if the US had not attacked Iran unprovoked?

Cause and effect. They will have to live with the consequences by force.

So I think Dr Carson is inferior to whites.
Or myself or raumdeuter or bemeruca.
Blacks in America have so many privileges.
For instance can you imagine White Entertainment Television or a White history month


GracieX3:
If you want to understand the enslaved mindset of our Nigerian MAGA cultists, look no further than the particular black south Africans who are xenophobic towards Nigerian and other black immigrants in South Africa.

These particular xenophobic black south Africans are uncle Toms who have suffered apartheid and are now practicing it on other blacks. They believe that the other blacks from other countries are inferior criminals that are spoiling their country- South Africa.

How is this different from Black MAGA (Basilico, Ramdeuter,bemeruca and benalvino3), who believe that other blacks in America (liberal blacks) are inferior, have bad culture and are welfare queens?

Liberal progressives killed Spirit Airlines merger to protect low budget travellers. With a projected 9 % of the market , Elizabeth Warren, Peter Buttgiege (sp) and the Biden DOJ got a judge to block the Spirit/JetBlue merger.

You are omitting that the organiser was under SPLC payroll.
They directed him on the hate to post on social media
He organized transports for the KKK robed democrats in disguise.
The unite the right rally was a setup to show republican are Nazi and racists. Done with full SPLC knowledge.

There were fine people . A group had filed a lawsuit to stop the destruction of every monument that cry baby liberals suddenly hated. This group did not support the outsider Unite the Right. However 32 of ther members were at the protest rally. They were fine people.

Holy illiterate argument.
Bemeruca is a great example of MAGA. Under. educated and illi. terate with 4th grade reasoning abilities.
Imagine reading the posts I wrote and listening to Trump's words and this is what you took out of it.

Jesus, there was only one type of person(White Nationals and Neo Natzis) who showed up for the rally since it was a White Nationalist/Neo Natzi rally promoted for months by White Nationals and Neo Nazis. Everyone else was a counter protester.

Group 1: White Nationalists -Protestors (people like Bemeruca and Raumdetuer)
Group 2: Anti White Nationalists Counter Protestors (clergy, women who died).
Trump: There were good people on both sides except White Nationals and Neo Nazis (But given it was a White Nationalist, Neo Nazi rally, set up by White Nationals/Neo Nazis, promoted and talked about nationally and so anyone who showed up to rally was there to support White Nationalism / Neo Nazis).

I missed the days when people who couldn't conjugate basic verbs felt embarrassed and chose not to write online.

Biden staffer who accused him of sexual assault complained in writing.
Joe Biden had that complaint sealed in his records.
The complaint is in writing and no action was ever taken.

1. Obama:

Trump detests anyone who tries to expose his vileness. That’s his MO. Obama as a human is more of a decent person than Trump would ever be. Grifting and sexual abuse of women is not on his list.

2. Biden

As for baba Biden. Yes accusations were made mainly by Tara Reade and other women. However, unlike Trump, Biden has never been dragged to any court as regards such allegations and until then fingers crossed. I heard the lady is back to the US. Let her pursue legal actions.

Trump has been found liable by a civil court for sexual abuse and not to forget he has been found guilty as a felon.

Trump or his dad didn't want to rent to black people.
So he is a racist.
Muslims are building an enclave in Texas under the guise of a community centre. Over 400 acres A judge granted them the go ahead , though Texas AG has appealed.
It's "Muslim centric" .You know what that means. No churches and all that.

Maybe if you've had faithful tenants for years tell you they'll move out if you bring in Chinese , as a property owner what would you do?

I don't know why many are not seeing this.
If the Iran war ends with the IRGC and Ayatollahs in command , with their ballistic, hypersonic and shahed drones capabilities largely untouched. Plus Iran still controlling Hormuz.

Iran emerges as the most powerful nation in the Middle East. Controlling OPEC. To rebuild the prices of oil will have to go up. They will demand OPEC cuts production. Any country that refuses to play ball will be attacked with threats of severe repercussions. If Nigeria decides to increase production, Iran threatens.
Long and short,Iran has revealed itself to be the worlds worst bully. The leadership has to go yesterday.
Foreign AffairsRe: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by basilico: 1:54pm On May 02
Has anyone seen the significance of this.
1.
Iran fired 2,256 drones, 537 ballistic missiles and 26 cruise missiles to UAE. More than what it fired at Israel. Saudi Arabia refused UAE and America to use it's territory to attack Iran.
UAE has abruptly pulled out of OPEC and will export as much oil and gas it wants .

2.
Israel sent an Iron Dome battery to UAE. It's being operated by IDF personnel and played part in shooting down missiles.
For years that was unimaginable .

UAE now knows which countries will come to it's aid.
Palestinians, Hamas, Hezbolla and some Nairalanders are cheering for Iron Dome to fail miserably while it has saved countless lives in UAE.

3.
EU has dithered helping reopen the Suez canal , it only declared IRGC a terrorist organization in January this year.

4.
Iran has abrogated itself the right to attack any country it desires for whatever flimsy reason.
Iran also thought it will determine who gets to use the Straits of Hormuz. Which ships will pay and which won't .
Total arrogance.

Liberals are the most racist people on earth.
They use racist cards to bulldoze their way. Nominate Ketanji because she is black. Elect Kamala because she is a woman and black.
Jussie Smollett attacked by guys wearing MAGA hats. You are racist if you prefer immigrants from developed ( read white) nations.
Isn't creating a majority minority district like in Louisiana itself racist.
Discriminating against the white race is racism, unless you think it's acceptable because of historical injustices.

Tctrills should respond to the rest.


DeepSight:
I think the Kyle Rittenhouse case is markedly different because of the context of the riots about the police shooting of black a black man. Therefore his actions were seen as attempting to defend a racist police shooting - seven shots which left the victim paralyzed. I am only giving context. Very different scenario.

However, one thing you should know is that I know there are racists on the left too, but just far less and racism is not an ideology they way it is for the right, even if unsaid.

Epstein files are non existent?

Deepsight . Here is proof AI chatbots can make up stories.

March 8 this year. I was following PDC UK open Darts festival from flashscore.com and I asked Gemini what's the latest.

Gemini reply: Gerwin Price had just beaten Johnny Clayton 10-4.

My response: They haven't played yet it's Josh Rock and a guy from Poland.

Gemini then corrected itself and said the match has not yet begun.

In any case Gerwin Price beat Johnny Clayton 10-8 not the 10-4 the bot had claimed.

Trust AI at your own risk. On several other occasions Gemini has made up it's own results when it comes to PDC darts.

My grouse with liberals is pushing abortion as a constitutional right any time of the pregnancy and demanding federal funding for abortions.
A trans man of all others travelled fully armed to Judge Kavansugh home with the intention to kill him ........,then something came over him and he gave himself up to the police.
No one knows what will happen if they carry the pregnancy to term then give up the baby for adoption. Noone also knows what the baby will grow up to be .

I think people should just be careful and need counselling before aborting.

DeepSight:
It will be arbitrary for me to place a specific number of days or weeks to it, but I have said that once it has taken on the human form, I feel queasy about it.

To divert tangentially spiritually, several schools of thought also believe that the spirit incarnates into the body at a specific time during pregnancy. Some say this is around the middle of pregnancy but for me, the time would be around when it has form and begins to exhibit consciousness. I dont know about the timing for sure but it resonates with me. I just cant see what appears to be for all purposes something like a tiny cell as a human being. No, for me, at the early stages it is not a human being. It is only a potential.

If you are referring to Graciex3's comment, it is valid for her to point out that people may not be comfortable giving their children to strangers. That is a very valid concern and an instinctive one too, and I also pointed it out myself in case you missed it.

And if you are referring yo her, what do you mean that "people go marry rubbish these days" We can certainly say that your wife has married rubbish too since you can talk like that so cavalierly.

And abortion is not necessarily killing your child. I dont think it is killing or murder to for example stop a one week pregnancy.

Yes that is correct. The German chancellor recently said the Iran war is unjust and Iran is humiliating America.
Trump has now decided to withdraw 5000 troops stationed on German soil. You know what that means.. Besides the local restaurants, stores,movie theatre , pubs etc losing customers , it's a warning , play ball before shooting off your mouth.

Trump has also ordered 25% tariffs on EU vehicles. Who will be the hardest hit. Germany whose revenues from automobiles is very significant.

With EU telling members not to buy cheap Russian gas and oil. With Germany shutting down nearly all it's nuclear and coal plants energy is now expensive . Which doesn't help a manufacturing giant.
Add to their refusal to join Operation End Fury. Global oil and gas prices have shot up as a result of the Straits of Hormuz blockade.
The German economy is already taking a hit from their policies and the money they give Ukraine. They can force Zelensky to the negotiating table but it will make Trump win the Nobel prize.

25% tariffs on their vehicles will impact German economy more than the troop withdrawal.

The $6 Trillion is a figure liberals will never accept.
Gemini is heavily biased and I have evidence of Gemini making up stories to me on a sports discipline that I was seeing updates on flashscore. Many times, not once .

tctrills:
My brother, when you use AI, learn to conduct deep research. Dont worry, I will do it for you.

Since the launch of the "War on Poverty" in 1964, the US has spent over $26 trillion on anti-poverty programs, with total expenditures potentially reaching higher depending on whether state-level contributions and specific program definitions (such as medical vs. cash aid) are included. Current federal spending alone exceeds $1 trillion annually.

Now, on total entitlement benefits, the US has spent $193 trillion

Now the question is, what percentage has gone to the blacks? This is where we apply AI.

[url]Grok[/url]

Around 23-26% of recipients (and a similar share of spending) in major US means-tested welfare programs go to Black Americans, who make up roughly 13-14% of the total US population.
Key Data (Recent Years, e.g., ~2019–2023)

Combined safety net programs (Urban Institute analysis of ~59 million recipients): Non-Hispanic White ~43%, Hispanic ~26%, Black ~23%.
SNAP (food stamps): White ~35-42% (non-Hispanic White lower, around 35-37%), Black ~25-28%, Hispanic ~16%. Blacks are overrepresented relative to population share.
Older or multi-program data (e.g., SNAP + TANF + housing) sometimes shows higher Black shares for specific overlapping benefits, but the broad pattern holds: Whites are the largest group by raw numbers, Blacks are disproportionately represented.

Spending (dollars) tracks recipient shares closely because benefits are allocated per eligible person or household (with adjustments for household size, income, etc.). There is no comprehensive official breakdown showing a dramatically different spending percentage. Black households are overrepresented among recipients due to higher participation rates in programs like SNAP, Medicaid, and TANF, driven by factors such as higher poverty rates, single-parent households, and urban concentration.

ChatGPT


There isn’t a single percentage for “all U.S. welfare” going to any one group, because “welfare” isn’t one program—it includes things like food assistance (SNAP), healthcare (Medicaid), and cash aid (TANF), and each has different data.

Breaking it down (to understand it properly)
1) Food assistance (SNAP)
Black recipients: about 26–27%
White recipients: larger share overall
2) Cash welfare (TANF)
Black recipients: about 27–28%
3) Healthcare (Medicaid)
Black recipients: about 23%

This completely corresponds with Grok. Blacks get more than 23% of all welfare.


Gemini

Program, Black Recipients (%),
SNAP (Food Stamps),~25%,
TANF (Cash Assistance),~28%,
Public Housing,~45%,

This again shows that blacks get nothing less than 23% of all welfare


Now, let's use the lowest figure, 23%. Calculate 23% of 26 trillion

The result is 5.98 trillion

This represents the lowest possible amount blacks get from welfare.
I am usually not wrong with the stats and figures

Why won't democrats reveal what the saw in the unredacted Epstein releases.
As to the E Jean Carroll case , she was funded by Reid Hoffman the bosom Epstein buddy. New York state specifically passed a law New York Adult Survivors Act on 2022
granting any woman with claims of sexual assault to file suit within a year , which allowed her to file .

As to Stormy Daniels case , the case was only possible after DOJ sent it's third top employee to deputize Alvin Bragg. Bragg was pressured to reopen the investigation after his immediate predecessor had dropped it
