Are you schizophrenic or hearing voices?

Where did you see that?

All he was saying is the deal should come with security guarantees because Russia has broken many ceasefire before and Vance started shouting. If you ask me, they staged it.
How would America companies establish mines in Ukraine if Russia was still firing oreshniks and drones to Ukraine?
Zelensky thought with media in the room ,he could fact check Trump in real time and get good reviews like that Macron fellow.

If Zelensky wasn't high on coke then he must be laundering $$$ back to congress . He had just met them they were all fawning over him.
He should have used an interpreter, it gives everyone a few moments to think before replying . Z accused Trump of using Russia talking points.
Trump said it clearly to his face . He gave him javelins. Not those spears athletees throw...... It's a fire and forget anti tank guided missile unlike kornets which the launcher steers towards target. Obama sent Zelensky blankets and bedsheets, Trump added.
He didn't give Z blankets and sheets. He gave him.weapons to kill Russians.So yes Trump is Putin stooge.
Amazing how you reason.

Trump call to Zelensky querying Burisma corruption that 100% happened led to his impeachment. Zelensky didn't support Trump then, then he goes to WH today in a combative mood. Trump trolled his dressing as soon they shook hands,“He’s all dressed up today,”

Trump has just tweeted that Zelensky is not for peace,he can come back later when he is ready for peace.

cococandy. Another example of DEI gone awry.

A high school in Minnesota was forced to cancel a field trip scheduled only for students who 'identify as a person of color' after a civil rights complaint was filed.
Mark Perry, a community member and retired professor in Twin Cities in Minnesota, saw information on the field trip, which allegedly only was available to students who identified as students of color, on social media.
The trip for Highland Park High School offered a chance for students to be exposed to digital marketing and advertising careers, according to Perry.
Perry told the Star Tribune that the event, which has been alleged to have discriminated against white students in the civil rights complaint, violated Title VI of the federal Civil Rights Act.
He also said that it equally violated the district's own anti-discrimination policy.


This DEI compares to the example you posted of Gregg Abbott?

I think the media has done a real disservice on this USAID closure story.
They have told the story more of consequences for the US rather than consequence for people who relied on these services and what happens when they are shut down overnight.

Was talking to a friend who works at the World Bank, she was telling me how much of partnership USAID had with a lot of these aid organizations. That a lot of people were going to be affected.

It dawned on me more that people will most likely die because of this decision. A lot of people.
It's absolutely evil and demonic to shut down the programs overnight the way Trump did.
If he wanted to make the argument he had the power to and the programs were a waste he should have at least given the partners 3 months to find alternatives or slow shut them down.
Now there will be people who relied on that food, or HIV medication, other medication, or numerous other things who would have had to find alternatives overnight.
It's the kind of thing you go to hell for.
Bet you know more than Miller.

Former senior advisor to President Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, said the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) operated as a financial pipeline for left-wing causes while simultaneously bankrupting the United States.

Miller told Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures that USAID has been a primary funding source for radical progressive policies, using taxpayer dollars to fund global gender surgeries, diversity and inclusion programs, and climate initiatives

“Yes, the USAID was a slush fund, first of all, for left-wing projects around the globe, like gender surgeries around the world, diversity, equity and inclusion policies, crazy Green New Deal, climate scams and every other lunatic left-wing project that is bankrupting this country,” Miller said.

Miller also alleged that USAID has been propping up an extensive network of left-wing non-governmental organizations (NGOs), including George Soros‘s Open Society Foundations.

As we reported last week, Soros‘ organizations received a staggering $260 million from USAID, with the funding traced back through several documents and reports.


Funding for programs will continue under more stringent oversight.
Noem Eisen received $17 million from USAID, only thing he produced was a muppet show to promote democracy , according to bonginoreport.com
Don't forget that name . Noem Eisen will feature prominently as the swamp gets drained.

Now that enough junk is cramped into the browser, browsers use at least 1gb of ram which is insane. I miss IE 6
I had some free tweaks . rambooster would effectively shut down every other process running in the background in realtime, set it to a limit of say 8MB free, that was 16MB of RAM machines , you'd always have 8MB unless the foreground process was using more than that
Then on IE6, there was a registry setting ":MaxConnectionsPerServer =XX ": which would tell IE6 to use say 6 streams to fetch a webpage. Kinda like what download managers like IDM or prozilla in Linux do when doing downloads.
Usually my PC was always the fastest ,I would find coworkers sitting on my PC in the office.

cococandy. The results of DEI

The Liberty Justice Center has filed a racial discrimination lawsuit alleging the University of Illinois Chicago fired a professor because he is a “white male” who criticized the institution’s racial hiring practices, according to the lead attorney on the case.
The lawsuit is on behalf of Professor Stephen Kleinschmit (pictured) “whose contract was terminated after he criticized the university’s racially discriminatory hiring programs,” a news release from the law firm states.


Definitely not the same as having facilities that cater for the impaired in societies.

One of the main reasons I support Trump.
https://leohohmann.substack.com/p/if-trump-nixes-this-one-government

The Daily Mail reports that EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is lobbying for the White House to discard the so-called “endangerment finding.” This is a 2009 bureaucratic rule theorizing that greenhouse gases, created by burning “fossil fuels,” lead to global warming and allegedly pose a threat to public health.

Article explains how EPA has barrelled down on most consumer products making them expensive on the basis of junk science.

[i]Let’s be frank. This whole global warming/climate change nonsense is not about saving the environment. In fact, quite the opposite. Carbon dioxide is one of the essential elements of life on planet earth. Without it, life as we know it ceases to exist. Only morons, hucksters and demonic depopulationists would want to eliminate it.
So what’s it really all about? The evidence seems to suggest it’s about making money, lots of money for billionaires, while using the deceptive “save the planet” claims to leverage more control over people’s lives. And in the process, wiping out millions of people through food shortages, environmental damage, and other manufactured crises.[/i]

I'm totally in agreement with that article.If this was a high school debate ,I would call on my worthy opponents to cross the floor and join me in this.

You’re almost there.

Are there provisions for disabled people everywhere in Nigeria? If not maybe then you’re realizing those codes and rules exist for a reason. Because if they aren’t enforced, people will not implement them.

You and I agree that it’s common sense to use the most qualified person for each role, but the actual facts disagree with you and I. Just because it’s common sense doesn’t mean people are overlooking their biases and implementing this common sense principle.

That’s literally why the enforcement exists. Without enforcement few people will apply it.

Only if you’re deliberately choosing to disregard relevant history and current events will you say DEI is not useful.l to prevent discrimination.
Disabled people I'm almost every society face a lot of problems owing to lack of facilities.
A HR department I'm every org or agency in conjunction with management is enough to set the policies catering for everyone.
Leaving aside the physically impaired
"there's a big difference between equality and equity." While equality focuses on providing everyone with the same resources or opportunities, equity aims to ensure that everyone ends up at the same place, which often requires different levels of support based on individual needs.
That means having to disproportionately cater for a target group to achieve the same outcomes

DEI is more than appointments or who occupies a position. It includes making spaces accessible to everyone regardless of skin color, disability, gender etc.
In his case, the building where he works has access for him to roll his wheelchair into partly because of DEI.

Obviously he’s privileged because he’s a governor but outlawing DEI means any organization that wishes to can legally exempt themselves from making their spaces accessible to disabled people and have no consequences for it.

You guys just condemn whatever you’ve been told is a bad thing. No understanding of what it is you’re even talking about .
There is a difference between that and appointing someone because of colour race religion.
Public buildings follow certain codes,
There were always provisions for the disabled in every society, DEi seems to be like an extension of common sense norms .

Non compliance of FBI NY and the SDNY to release everything Epstein is the embodiment of the deep state.
One of the Assistant Attorney at SDNY is Maureen Comey. Her husband's also has worked there or is still there.
An interesting X thread.

Maurene Comey, an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY), has been with the office since 2015. She is the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey.

What a shocker that she was put into SDNY right before Trump came into office.

She has been involved in:

Jeffrey Epstein Case: She was one of the lead prosecutors in the 2019 case against financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Ghislaine Maxwell Trial: In 2021, Maurene served as a lead prosecutor in the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s associate. Maxwell was convicted on multiple counts, including sex trafficking of minors, and received a 20-year prison sentence.

Robert Hadden Prosecution: She was involved in prosecuting Robert Hadden, a former gynecologist accused of sexually abusing numerous patients. Hadden’s trial has been scheduled for 2022.

Natalie Edwards Case: Maurene participated in the case against Natalie Mayflower Sours Edwards, a former Treasury Department official who pleaded guilty in 2020 to leaking confidential documents related to the Russia investigation and other matters.

Between October 2017 and October 2018, Edwards disclosed numerous SARs and other sensitive government information to a reporter from BuzzFeed News, identified in court documents as Jason Leopold. The leaked information pertained to high-profile individuals and entities, including Paul Manafort, Richard Gates, the Russian Embassy, Maria Butina, and Prevezon Alexander. These disclosures formed the basis for a series of investigative articles highlighting suspicious financial activities. She served 6 months in prison only.

In December 2024, Maurene joined the prosecution team in the case against Sean “Diddy” Combs, who faces multiple charges, including sexual misconduct. The trial is scheduled for May 2025.

She has gotten every single deep state case magically assigned to her?

NOT BUYING IT.


SDNY falls directly under the AG , the FBI falls directly under her.

Whether they produce all documents today or not , it gives Trump a very good reason to fire and investigate the SDNY and FBI NY , no judge in his right senses would block that move

Needless to say, more stringent accountability is needed.
Moreover, to forestall the predicted bankruptcy of Social Security funds by 2034, Washington may have to raise the threshold income for SS tax to above $176,000. Because as of now, if you earn above $176,000 in salary or capital gains, you do not pay SS tax…
Podesta had $375 billion to spend on climate causes. There was such a huge leftover of these funds they were throwing gold bars off the titanic. To the lines of Stacey Abrams

Nope, the money that the average 70 year old retiree paid as SS taxes is gone! Whatever he/she is receiving as SS payment is from the taxes of people who are working right now.
