If Joe Biden stole 2020 then Trump should get Restitution. A third term.
To prepare for that, he is prepared to send national guard, military and feds to potentially troublesome hotspots like DC, New York, ChicagoLos Los Angeles under the guise of uncontrolled crime.
He will also sign EO banning nail in voting , vote rigging machines and have same day paper ballots counting plus release.
When he is tired of the Presidency , JD Vance will retire , then Trump will appoint his son as Deputy and resign. Potentially 4 consecutive Trump terms, the Clintons nearly had it while the Bush family had it. Why not Trump? 4 consecutive MAGA terms like Roosevelt.
Trump is also using the military to bomb drug boats from Venezuela. He also indicted 4 Chinese companies supplying fentanyl ingredients. This minimizes the chances of agitators high on drugs protesting his terms.
Mmmh. His only problem would be Obama and Biden judges, he needs to stop them yesterday.

I like the idea of believing the victims. I believe you also do when it comes to Jean Carrol who had no idea when Trump raped her, yet its the last time she had sex. Where the Judge blocked exposure of her telling Anderson Cooper that rape is sexy or that her cat was named vagina.

I would like you to also believe these Epstein witnesses , it's not asking for too much.

Breaking news: President Trump’s Justice Department recently sought access to voting equipment used by two Republican clerks in Missouri during the 2020 election, an unusual request as Trump said he would lead a movement to get rid of voting machines.

Washington Post.

Hehehhehehehehehehehe. You people thinks Trump will leave government? You are joking. Nothing go do am. He wont die,wè wont die all of una go see am. grin grin
Trump has spent years amplifying false claims about elections, and his contention that he won the 2020 election spurred a mob to attack the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, as the results were being certified. In recent weeks, he has said he will lead a movement to end the use of voting machines and mail ballots and signaled he will issue a sweeping executive order to try to change how elections are conducted.

That's Wapo reporting Trump won around 80% in 2020 in the two counties that used the rigging machines which have been requested
Maybe he has evidence that he won 100% of the votes but somehow the machines took away around 20% . The two counties most likely have not destroyed any evidence of the 2020 fraud ,so it offers a good start to prove voting machines can be fixed to steal votes
This is just my opinion.

WAPO reporting is always narrative shaping . They also reported endlessly that with the covid vaccine,one couldn't get infected. Believe them at your own risk

To be honest , America and European courts have investigated presidents and other leaders including jailing them. If Maduro is involved in sending drugs to America, they will go for him no matter how long it takes.

you support the genocide happening in Gaza and being perpetrated by the IDF and you talk about moral confusion?

You are the one that has been confused rather.. you cant condemn the senseless and endless killings being executed by Isreal, you cant agree to the fact innocent children do not deserve for what ever reason to be starved and killed..but you are quick to blame Hamas for everything whilst absolving Isreal..and you think you are applying that scripture you just quoted? You think God in the heavens supports the present bombardment happening in Gaza?
There is no genocide in Gaza. Tell Hamams to hand over the hostages and , stop booby trapping homes, firing rockets into Israel whether from their barracks aka mosques, or hiding weaponry in civilian homes.
Which other country gets missiles fired into it indiscriminately

Actually, the same reason Bokoharambe are killing Christians and non-believers is the same reason the Israelis are killing Palestinians.

Israel was occupying and stealing Palestinian land and killing and imprisoning Palestinians long before Hamas attacked Israel and took hostages in revenge and retaliation.
There is no comparison.Very weak ,Grade E. Why isn't Israel killing Egyptians or Jordanians. Palestinians are just Egyptians, Jordanians Syrian etc .

What worse did Trump do? Both Biden and Trump had classified documents in their home. So how do you know which document was worse?

Biden had classified documents while trump was president and he wasnt hounded by Trumps DOJ
When Biden became president he went after Trump for the same offence he committed

That is weaponizing the law and lawfare
Trump had classified documents that he had ordered declassified. Whether he made the order in his head or not,a president can declassify anything he wants,those CIA FBI bosses are under him.

Biden had documents strewn all over in several locations,some in his garage and others in an unlocked room at UPenn. Some of those documents can only be read in a SCIF, no existing copies exist outside of a SCIF . Meaning Joe Biden stole the documents. Secondly he was a VP when he came into possession, he didn't have declass powers at all. Thirdly there was an email Hunter Biden sent to Ukraine in 2015. It contained info that was not of his origination ( he was too whacked out) but an analysis from the Intelligence Community. Hunter clearly had access to the stash.

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.

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.

Turkey is restrained in oppressing christians because it badly wants to join the EU or the Schengen.

Nope, it comes with restrictions.

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.



I think convenience is deceiving you badly.

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.

🚨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 .
