PDPGuy:This judge Boasberg was appointed to the federal bench by Obama, then went to serve as a judge in the FISA cases. He has a very long conflicted history protecting DC corruption. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/03/16/u-s-district-judge-james-boasberg-orders-trump-administration-to-halt-deportation-of-illegal-aliens-and-narcotrafficking-gang-members/ A 2021 article from the same writer above explicitly details his corrupted role in FISA warrants, he makes absolute horrible decisions. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/04/28/its-official-the-fisa-court-is-compromised-presiding-judge-james-boasberg-hires-former-doj-nsd-head-mary-mccord-as-amici-curiae-to-advise-the-court/ Every case related to Trump ,he has ruled against him. Part of the resistance. This is one judge who needs to be investigated thoroughly .In this preemptive emergency order ,he blocks Trump from evoking a war time Act of Congress to deport members of Venezuelan gangs who were already airborne (or almost) about to be deported ,ordering the planes to turn back The same Act that sent Japanese and other nationals to internment camps during WW2. His list of woeful decisions can fill up a university library. Boasberg on Saturday ordered the Trump administration to immediately halt efforts to remove those Venezuelan migrants until he has more time to consider whether Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act was illegal............."Any plane containing these folks that is going to take off or is in the air needs to be returned to the United States however that is accomplished,” Boasberg announced. “Make sure it’s complied with immediately.” |
cococandy:Really ? Wanna talk about biased media? Look at how they’re behaving under trump’s rule. Afraid to highlight any truths that put him in a negative light so that he doesn’t have mantrum and go after them. That’s fascism my friendsI'll let this whooper pass for now , you are telling us media is doing Trump's bidding by not highlighting his failures. |
happney65:So I'll leave this matter of egg prices for now. Been a journey We know DOJ is investigating how top egg suppliers have been making humongous profits. We also know that gas prices ( which affect transportation) and inflation are coming down, this should see reduced egg prices. We also have no evidence Canada and Mexico slaughtered their chicken en mass to affect prices ,it's possible Joe Biden wanted higher prices for God knows why. With cutbacks in govt spending and layoffs, inflation will definitely come down,we know inflation is too much money in circulation chasing too few goods. It's safe to surmise that Trump is not the monster media paints him to be, the real crooks are the democrats. cococandy should agree with me, I hope. |
Cococandy and happney65. I can't get any figures about how many chicken were killed by mexico and Canada because they had the same bird flu outbreak Conclusion. Joe Biden wanted the prices to go up . |
Shameless FBi started looking for dirt on Trump so they could indict him. They obtained his govt issued phone plus Pence without seeking a warrant first , then they looked for a warrant to go through then. Grassely has written a scathing letter demanding answers quickly. https://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/news-releases/grassley-johnson-release-records-showing-fbi-obtained-trump-pence-cell-phones-conducted-sweeping-interviews-to-advance-anti-trump-arctic-frost-investigation They wasted thousands of dollars subpoenaing and interviewing anyone so they could build a case The FBI and DOJ criminal actions exposure is moving too slow for my liking . I don't want to get mad because I might be forced to do the same thing I did when Trump was indicted . |
bemeruca:The alternative is to enforce quality products being imported and apply higher tarriffs to compete with local products. But businesses also eye China 600 million middle class. China as WTO developing nation has preferential lower tarriffs imposed on them by any WTO member , you rightly called out Bill on that. Yet they are the second largest economy almost out manufacturing the rest of the world combined. The US Olympics kit designed by Ralph Lauren was made in China in 2012, some heads should have rolled. |
South Africa ambassador to America has visa revoked and ordered back home. South African Ambassador Embrahim Rasool told participants in a foreign policy seminar Friday that U.S. President Donald Trump is leading a white supremacist movement in America and around the world.How do you make such statement in a seminar and expect to be the top liason officer between South Africa and State Dept or WH. SMH. |
bemeruca:You do realize the allure of more profits drives chief executives China labour is cheap. Their power is cheap. They have a fully developed supply chain systems. They have invested in manufacturing everything they can within their soil . They will build a high speed railway with everything Chinese made from bolts and nuts , save for very few components.They seek to import raw materials,have little regard for IP too. Their govt also keeps a tight leash on the Yuan always making it favourable to exporters. Contrast that with a Harvard MBA executive looking to slice costs to a minimum, offshores manufacturing to China. Chinese staff once they understand the production process setup shop across the street selling same product under different but similar name. I remember seeing products like SQNY to confuse you with SONY,Panaosonic for Panasonic ,Samsang for Samsung ,etc. The Chinese govt doesn't care at all. That's one reason I prefer America as the superpower. Western nations don't go that route selling deceiving buyers . Western societies for instance respect the phrase "Let's get ready to rumble!" and will pay royalties whenever they use it. Not the Chinese though. |
Canada has a nuclear bomb for America. https://nypost.com/2025/03/15/world-news/canada-has-nuclear-weapon-in-trade-war-ban-pornhub-in-us/ But seriously... |
cococandy:Call a spade a spade. Gas Prices January 21, 2025: National average: $3.09 per gallon Today (March 15, 2025): Current average: $3.08 per gallon Egg Prices January 21, 2025: Average price for a dozen eggs: $6.55 Today (March 15, 2025): Average price for a dozen eggs: $4.15 Annual Inflation Rate (February 2025): The inflation rate for the United States was 2.8% for the 12 months ending in February, down from 3% previously. Consumer Price Changes: In January 2025, prices had increased by 3% compared to January 2024 Admit Trump is working towards hard to make sure your well-being improves. |
Obrigardo:That tells you there was nothing wrong with what they did There is no crime there. You must be happy. |
I'm honestly frustrated at the slow pace of Joe Biden evils not being spelled out.Regarding the autopen Trump grumbled loudly when he addressed the DOJ,what are they waiting for? “Crooked Joe Biden got us into a real mess with Russia and everything else he did, frankly. But he didn’t know about it, and he, generally speaking, signed it with autopen, so how would he know? That autopen is a big deal. I don’t know, you know? Who’s doing this?” Trump said. “When my people come up, Will [Scharf] and all of the people, Steve [Miller], they come up… Sir, this is an executive order, they explain it to me, and 90% of the time, I sign it. 99% of the time, I say, do it. But, they come up, and I sign it,” Trump said. “But, you don’t use autopen. Number one, it’s disrespectful to the office. Number two, maybe it’s not even valid because, you know, who’s getting him to sign? He had no idea what the hell he was doing. If he did, all of these bad things wouldn’t be happening,” Trump said. In a recent post new York post knows a staffer who was the defacto President. An insider told The New York Post that he feared this key Biden aide: “I feared no one as much as I feared that [staffer]. To me, [the staffer] basically was the president,” the person said. “No one ever questioned [the staffer]. PeriodMike Johnson was stonewalled for months before being allowed to meet Joe Biden by his staffers.They didn't want any "enemy" one on one with him ,when he got a meeting they were all there. When he asked him.about banning offshore drilling in offshore drilling ,Joe wasn't aware .It seems someone had brazenly signed off the EO without Joe's knowledge. |
cococandy:The $270 billion will be sent to the states, less overheads and more needy recipients will be reached. |
Obrigardo:You don't go dumping toxic waste in rivers. You recycle materials and if possible outright ban non biodegradable materials.You have to allow for certain levels of smog in urban crowded areas , fresh air to breathe. Encourage more renewable power generation like nuclear power, hydro, geothermal or cleaner coal and gas plants which are 100% reliable when they go online. This has nothing to do with carbon dioxide causing sea levels to rise or the fake global warming data. You thought using goat skins as condoms will reduce greenhouse gases you oaf. |
bemeruca:If America is importing more than it exports to any bloc or territory in a trade war it emerges the undisputed winner.mainly because it has the highest spending power and can also repurpose manufacturing at home. It's the liberals who say the world is connected,no country can be self sufficient , there should be free movement of goods and services. And all that lefty crap praising globalization Trump is also hitting France specifically because they are the new troublemakers in Russia Ukraine war. He did the same to China . Pressuring them to stop influencing Kim jong Un via tarriffs. Anytime he needed Kim to acquiesce he piled pressure on China which is North Korean's life line. |
How and when to beat your wife. Does not apply to Ijebos though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJYhwtn5wcI |
Marco Rubio explains the Hamas supporter situation in no uncertain terms. Reporter: “Your revocation of the green card to many is seen as one of the most anti-speech actions a Secretary can take with his powers. How do you respond? Rubio: When you come to the United States as a visitor, which is what a visa is, which is how this individual entered this country, as a visitor’s visa, you are here as a visitor. We can deny you that visa. We can deny you that if you tell us, when you apply, hi, I’m trying to get into the United States on a student visa, I am a big supporter of Hamas, a murderous, barbaric group that kidnaps children, that rapes teenage girls, that takes hostages, that allows them to die in captivity, that returns more bodies than live hostages. If you tell us that you are in favor of a group like this, and if you tell us when you apply for your visa, and by the way, I intend to come to your country as a student and rile up all kinds of anti-Jewish student, anti-Semitic activities, I intend to shut down your universities. If you told us all these things when you applied for a visa, we would deny your visa. I hope we would. If you actually end up doing that, once you’re in this country on such a visa, we will revoke it. If you end up having a green card, not citizenship, but a green card as a result of that visa while you’re here in those activities, we’re going to kick you out. It’s as simple as that. This is not about free speech. This is about people that don’t have a right to be in the United States to begin with. No one has a right to a student visa. No one has a right to a green card, by the way. So, when you apply for a student visa, or any visa to enter the United States, we have a right to deny you for virtually any reason. But I think being a supporter of Hamas, and coming into our universities, and turning them upside down, and being complicit in what are clearly crimes, a vandalization, complicit in shutting down learning institutions. There are kids at these schools that can’t go to class. You pay all this money to these high-priced schools that are supposed to be of great esteem, and you can’t even go to class. You’re afraid to go to class because these lunatics are running around with covers on their face, screaming terrifying things. If you told us that’s what you intended to do when you came to America, we would have never let you in. And if you do it once you get in, we’re going to revoke it and kick you out. They sent me to a psychiatrist. |
basilico:Trump issues an EO that anyone filing for an injunction must deposit a bond or payment as security. FRCP 65(c) refers to a specific section within the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) that governs the issuance of preliminary injunctions and temporary restraining orders. This section mandates that the party seeking such an order must provide security to the court. The purpose of this security is to protect the defendant from potential harm or damages caused by the injunction or restraining order. Will reduce these frivolous lawsuits . This seems to be an enforcement of an existing law, though it's possible some judge may block it. So far 119 lawsuits have been filed against the Trump admin , at least two every day before sympathetic judges all round the country. They will all be thrown out. Matthew Graves the Forner US Attorney would have twisted the law and prosecuted litigants under "obstruction of government proceedings". Trump should go further and issue an EO that any of these democrat Marxist Judges who issues a frivolous injuction thats later rescinded should be removed from the bench. Here’s a summary of the nationwide injunctions filed under each president you mentioned: Reagan: Approximately 12 nationwide injunctions. George W. Bush: About 12 nationwide injunctions. Clinton: Similar to Bush, around 12 nationwide injunctions. Bush (George H.W. Bush): Also around 12 nationwide injunctions. Obama: Between 19 to 20 nationwide injunctions. Trump: A significant increase with about 55 nationwide injunctions. Biden: As of now, there have been 14 nationwide injunctions. Trump 2: The current count is still being tracked, but there are ongoing legal challenges with over 119 lawsuits pending against actions from this administration. |
Livelystone01:In 2020 BLM antifa rioted, very few saw jail time. Kamala joined efforts to raise the bail through ActBlue ( now under investigation ). Pelosi called it the "summer of love" . Also talked about the rioters having a "spark of divinity" . Very loaded words from her supporting the mayhem without saying so. |
Livelystone01:It's called the resistance for a reason. Well coordinated with private encrypted messaging . A cult in other words. Mission is deny and deflect .The media is the PR wing. |
cococandy:If you read the article it's an anti trust investigation . I don't think it's the same as Kamala fixing prices. A lot of companies have faced antitrust investigation including standard oil, Microsoft,google etc. It's not in the same league as fixing retail prices. If this becomes a reality , you should start kissing the ground Trump walks on. https://www.econotimes.com/Trumps-Bold-Tax-Plan-No-Taxes-for-Americans-Earning-Under-150K-1704552 He must hate America ![]()

cococandy:Okay. Can you tell your friend to state his case too? |
raumdeuter:They won't confess to the "sin" of having benefitted from the tax cuts. They like to paint that Trump only gave billionaires a tax cut. What a pathetic disingenuous way to live. Lying to oneself. |
Pathetic. The level of deceit in Joe Biden presidency was beyond the roof . He had a replica of the Oval Office . In it he could read off a teleprompter while cheating everyone that he was at the oval office. They all knew he was faking mental sharpness. What a disgrace. Probably worse than Clinton sucking on a cigar laced with body fluids. https://nypost.com/2025/03/12/us-news/trump-aide-gives-inside-look-at-bidens-fake-oval-office/ |
Obrigardo:Buying a Tesla doesn't mean one is supporting the Green New deal you maggot. Today EPA is rolling back 31 key regulations conjured up by Biden . https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/epa-launches-biggest-deregulatory-action-us-history There is a difference between environmental conservation and climate change. |
ItooWorWor:I don't seem to understand you. The issue is that Canada massively tarriffs American products , but America didn't have the same level tariffs. Your brethren do not want to indicate the tarriffs ,so I posted it That should not be more difficult than learning Greek to anyone who intelligent enough to sign up and use nairaland. Are those tarriffs not in place,if so what are the correct ones.Correct me by releasing the actual figures. Here’s a brief overview of the top tariffed American dairy products by Canada: Milk: 200% Cheese: Over 200% (varies by type) Butter: Over 200% Yogurt: Over 200% Ice Cream: Over 200% |
budaatum:I will ignore the part khalif because you are a terrorist supporter. Jan 6. Let me bring you upto speed . FBI stopped investigating the guy who planted a pipe bomb. The only reason they would do that is if he was one of them or they knew he was part of the Fedsurrection. Anyway Kash Patel has forwarded documents regarding the pipe bomber investigation to the House Jim Jordan committee. They have been refusing to do so under Chris Wray. If that don't prick your antenna that there was more to J6 than just a protest by Trump supporters, I'll call you impermeable to logic. In September, former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino said, according to a whistleblower, after the pipe bombs were found at the RNC and DNC headquarters, “assets on the ground, including a whistleblower, was briefed about the pipe bombs the next day and show a picture of a guy in a hoodie.....whistleblower, the law enforcement agents were told to stand down two days later.” Bolded ---He is the FBI deputy director set to take office in a weeks time. Why should it scare you? Because him and KP have known it all along . The lawbreakers of J6 were plants , antifa and feds. NB: I'm so frustrated by Pam Bondi and Kash Patel for not exposing what I've been posting here since 2017.I so badly want the truth to hit your face with the force of a hurricane soon. |
cococandy:Who are Palestinians? 1945.

happney65 and cococandy. Egg lovers. Some good news. DOJ is investigating why egg prices are high. A top egg supplier made 300% jump in profits in the last year or so , while blaming avian flu and 160 million birds exterminated. https://abc7.com/post/donald-trump-egg-prices-department-justice-investigating-major-producers-amid-soaring-price-eggs-sources-say/15993118/ Prices are also coming down now 2020: February: $1.45 Average for the year: Approximately $1.51 - $2.29 2021: Average price: Approximately $1.60 - $2.50 2022: Average price: Approximately $2.86 2023: January: $4.82 August: $2.04 2024: January: $4.95 February: $3.00 - $4.00 (prices fluctuated) 2025: January: $4.953 February: $5.897 |
