Foreign AffairsRe: Iraq Slashes Legal Age Of Consent To Nine Years Old by basilico:
Islam holds Mohamed as the highest standard a person can achieve. Majority of Muslims think he is the most pious,the most righteous,most handsome man ever.
The Sunna of Mohamed. Muslims are exhorted to live a pious like like Mohamed did From dyeing their hair, eating habits,dressing etc.The Sunna is not laws Mohamed decreed with the help of Allah like doing the Hajj, praying , marrying maximum four wives. The Sunna is living day to day as Mohameds lived.
Most Muslims as I understand don't know that their prophet was an evil man who married a nine year old
Iran whose supreme law is the sharia are only following Islam by allowing their men to marry nine year olds
A Muslim from birth is only told the good deeds of his prophet. Actually everything he ever did was perfect to them. Accordingly he had a reason for everything, Allah his friend guided him... Whether he wanted to marry the divorced wife of his adopted son in law, Allah was there to justify. Muslims are taught that everything Allah decreed was good, from birth it's reinforced by their clerics till their last day. To muslims life is to be lived as Allah wishes . Mohamed was Allah's most perfect creation in every way.
Mohamed was engaged to Aisha when she was 6 but consummated the marriage when she got to 9 years. He was 54 years. 3 years of him patiently waiting for her to be able to accommodate his manhood. Very considerate of him.
All in all Iran is just following the Sunna of their prophet. Shariah does not set the age of marriage per se, It's the sunna that highly recommends the deeds of the prophet

Robert F. Kennedy Jr in alliance President Elect Trump have launched a website that the public. can nominate their candidates for top jobs in the incoming administration. The site allows members of the public to give their reasons.

OMG. Trump is such an evil fascist and is Hitler like. How dare he invite the public to submit competent nominees? How dare he?

Trump first term was sabotaged by Mitch McConnell. He refused to send Senate into recess unnecessarily delaying critical appointments.
Trump don't want to have that this time.
In his first term a lot of Republicans worked against him in private.
Chief among them Mike Pence who would have prevented Mike Flynn from being forced to resign. Obama warned Trump not to appoint Flynn, chiefly because Flynn as Nat Sec Advisor would have revealed arming of ISIS affiliated "moderate gangs" via Benghazi and Turkey.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

Any Republican Senator seeking the coveted LEADERSHIP position in the United States Senate must agree to Recess Appointments (in the Senate!), without which we will not be able to get people confirmed in a timely manner. Sometimes the votes can take two years, or more. This is what they did four years ago, and we cannot let it happen again. We need positions filled IMMEDIATELY! Additionally, no Judges should be approved during this period of time because the Democrats are looking to ram through their Judges as the Republicans fight over Leadership. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THANK YOU!


The top two senators don't seem right for the top Senate job One wanted Texan AG jailed.

I think Republicans and their management were too focused on the presidential race while democrats played underground shenanigans down ballot. Ticket splitting is supposed to be near-extinct but all of a sudden they're coming back?
They're telling me people voted for the racist, sexist, misogynists and narcissist but refused to vote for his clones and even the supposed traditional/normal Republicans down ballot.... It doesn't make any sense.
Not one swing state senate candidate ran ahead of Trump, not one!

Honestly republican management with the chairman has to go back to the drawing board... Start fundraising and recruitment early ahead of 2026. They should reduce the infighting and help Trump pass legislations that the people voted him to do.
If the republican can close the border and fix the economy before 2026 then they have a chance to stop the dems. RINOs should align with Trump this time around.

I'm hopeful that Trump would defy the odds and be successful this time around... He'll prove the pundits wrong again.

Tge democrats mustn't be allowed to gain any part of the government during Trump's presidency to avoid a repeat of events that occurred in his first term.
Trump should ram through the house a federal law that protects "our" democracy via voter ID , no mail in ballots, no early voting
Else he can enact an executive order.

Funny. Jack Smith indicted him based on an Obama EO. I dey laugh.

We don’t have to guess what a hostile administration can do, days before a new and friendly one is assuming office.
Obama proved that in December of 2106. Weeks before the Trump administration took control, Obama ordered his UN ambassador not to veto an anti-Israeli resolution in the United Nations Security Council.


Leaking sensitive documents is also a tactic that has been used before.

The new tool this administration is using is withholding armament from us during a time of war.

As we say in Hebrew:

We overcame Pharaoh, we'll overcome this too.

Not only that in his final act of antisemitism Obama earmarked $300 millions or so transfer to PLA
Trump stopped it immediately he took the reins. The funds would have helped offset the PLA payments to families of Hamas terrorists who had killed Jews and were incarcerated or had died. When they die they are revered as marty's by Abu Mazen aka Munich sponsor Mahmoud Abbas, the President of Palestinians.

Now the right wing media is more powerful than the left?

Let me say that again, in case it got lost: Today, the right-wing media sets the news agenda in this country. Not The New York Times. Not The Washington Post (which bent over backwards to exert no influence when Jeff Bezos pulled the paper’s Harris endorsement). Not CBS, NBC, and ABC. The agenda is set by all the outlets I listed in the above paragraph. Even the mighty New York Times follows in its wake, aping the tone they set disturbingly often.

…The answer is the right-wing media. Today, the right-wing media—Fox News (and the entire News Corp.), Newsmax, One America News Network, the Sinclair network of radio and TV stations and newspapers, iHeart Media (formerly Clear Channel), the Bott Radio Network (Christian radio), Elon Musk’s X, the huge podcasts like Joe Rogan’s, and much more—sets the news agenda in this country. And they fed their audiences a diet of slanted and distorted information that made......

This is the year in which it became obvious that the right-wing media has more power than the mainstream media. It’s not just that it’s bigger. It’s that it speaks with one voice, and that voice says Democrats and liberals are treasonous elitists who hate you, and Republicans and conservatives love God and country and are your last line of defense against your son coming home from school your daughter.

And that is why Donald Trump won. Indeed, the right-wing media is why he exists in our political lives in the first place. Don’t believe me? Try this thought experiment. Imagine Trump coming down that escalator in 2015 with no right-wing media; no Fox News; an agenda still set, and mores still established, by staid old CBS News, the House of Murrow, and The New York Times.

We have to recreate the lawfare we executed for the Presidential election for the Legislature.
What are the statistical odds that Trump won every swing state and we lose all but one senate seat.
After Trump's win, we took our eye off the ball and a 55 Senate is now a 53, potentially 52 if Elias has his way.

Thing is, working for Congressional races is not shiny.
It's almost thankless. No one will deify you like Pressler or Kirk to bring home a district most can't identify on a map.
But we need to roll our sleeves and sic the hounds.
If the Dems won MI, WI, NV, AZ with Trump on the ticket, how do we preserve the Senate majority in 2026 without Trump on the ballot and without McConnell.
Especially when there is a time-honored tradition of the incumbent doing badly in the midterms.
That's to say nothing about the House. A 224 House is now looking like a 220 House.

The Midterms is going to be f*cking rough yo.
We will need to bring the house down on the Dems to stand a chance of retaining our majority.

New information has surfaced revealing Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer's strong dislike for Republican Kari Lake. Lake, a former news anchor who became a conservative figure, lost the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election and is currently in a close contest for the U.S. Senate against Democrat Ruben Gallego. The county is still counting ballots from Tuesday's election. After her defeat in 2022, Lake filed several lawsuits challenging the election's integrity but was unable to change the outcome. According to the Daily Mail, Richer's disdain for Lake was highlighted in a June 21 deposition where he discussed messages with a friend that suggested various political moves against her, including making her life difficult as part of his strategy. When asked why he would want to do this, Richer stated he didn't recall but expressed doubts about her conservatism. These remarks were made during a defamation lawsuit Richer has initiated against Lake, which he describes as "frivolous." Following his recent electoral loss on Tuesday, Richer deleted his X account and stated that he no longer felt compelled to respond publicly to inquiries. Meanwhile, Lake is trailing Gallego by just one percentage point with only 84% of votes counted in Arizona's ongoing race

Leftist groups petition Arizona Supreme Court fo ra few extra days to find more ballots

Update, Nov. 9: American Civil Liberties Union and the Campaign Legal Center filed an emergency petition to the Arizona Supreme Court on Saturday morning, asking the court to extend the deadline for voters to respond to problems with their mail ballot signatures. The original deadline is 5 p.m. Sunday. Because of the delays in counting ballots and notifying voters of problems, the organizations want voters to be given an additional two to four days to respond to notices, depending on how officials notify voters there is a problem.


That's why there should be no mail-in ballots. Same day voting, paper ballots, hand counting at every polling station and voter ID.
I'm hoping team Trump will make sure this is implemented .

Liberal hack pollsters like Marist, Yougov, Ipsos and Morning Consult published garbage polls showing Ted Cruz is in danger of losing, Sam Brown is down 10 points, Kari Lake would lose in a 15 point landslide. These reduced funding for them... How can Mitch McConnell refuse to give Kari Lake a penny in a swing state because he didn't like her but gave 10 million to Larry Hogan and also to Steve Garvey?? huh Mitch spent over 20 million to make sure Murkowski won her primary in 2022 which sabotaged other races.
Mitch is a RINO. Much as he helped Trump policies, he backstabbed him.
Republican and Democrats unite over many matters that have to do with their welfare .
Mitch slowed Trump agenda somehow for one he refused to send senate on recess in order to block Trump from making recess appointments.

Not "a child". Your child. The child you allow to have a girlfriend and who now needs advice on the use of condoms. You haven't stated age here, but I really would have thought you'd have taught your child about sex and condoms, especially if you let said child have a girlfriend. You after all wouldn't want your child to compromise its future by non-condom use now would you, especially if you are against aborting.

As for your child being influenced to change its gender, sorry, but that's because you haven't influenced your child yourself. It's in fact similar to you not influencing your child not to be woke or a pagan and then blaming others for making your child woke and a pagan. If you trained your child in the way you want it to go, and if you did a good job at it, no one should be able to wokify your child, at least not until it becomes an adult.

I'm giving you a pass on your "You guys". Personally, I'm waiting for when children claim they are dogs and then start barking. Perhaps you'd accept the parent is responsible then for stupefying or allowing their own child to be stupefied into thinking it is what it isn't, while better parents are encouraging their children to think they can breath fire.

Basilico, I am talking to you!
I've been bashing our resident idiot calling him every other post, what kind of parent is this MSNBC host Scarborough?



In the aftermath of the election, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough ranted about how Democrats are out of touch with everyday Americans on cultural issues, including the transgender issue.

“Democrats should be smarter on the women’s athletics thing. Eighty-five percent of Americans oppose men transitioning after puberty and competing against women….I’ve been saying this for years. This is not a hard call…one way we don’t do this is by allowing men who transition after puberty competing against young girls who have been working their entire lives to be as good as they can be and then they get destroyed,” he said.


It's OK for a child who transitioned before puberty to compete with girls.
The prepubescent is considered old enough to make a decision to mutilate his/her body.
I circle back. If that is so,the kid can also have sex.
