udemzyudex:
Who they both refer to is different.
Allah is God in Arabic, even the Christians there call him Allah but they're both not referring to the same God.
Cultures have always had their gods.
Allah is not the same Christian God or Jewish. Indians have their own, Zoroastrians have their own . Africans had and still do have their own. Others have Satan as their god.

I am waiting for confirmation

Haniyeh Nasrallah and Sinwar can continue their reign in the after life
Kamala Harris had warned about Rafah.

Any major military operation in Gaza would be a huge mistake,” US Vice President Kamala Harris told ABC News in an interview aired Sunday.

“I have studied the maps; there’s nowhere for those folks to go, and we’re looking at about a million and a half people in Rafah who are there because they were told to go there,” Harris added.


Sinwar would be still be alive had she got her way . Biden urging for a ceasefire and negotiations for hostages as soon as possible.Looks like sin- war was planning to escape Gaza .

How is this allowed. Undercover OKeefe Media Group secretly recorded FB Senior engineers explaining how they throttle and shadow ban pro Trump posts on Facebook.
Video here.


Excerpt.
Usually the disinformation we saw was pro-Trump… We’ll investigate, and then it goes just up to another team to take it [the post] down,” admits Matthew Fowler, a Software Engineering Manager at Meta, during an undercover date with an O’Keefe Media Group journalist. Fowler emphasized that Meta’s investigations often rely on mainstream media for verification, stating, “The news is going to do their job, and then based on what the outlets say… you have to trust that.”

Plamen Dzhelepov, a Machine Learning Engineer at Meta, agreed, “Meta has the right to suppress anything,” acknowledging the company’s political bias by noting, “they’re biased if they do that against the Republicans.” Dzhelepov detailed Meta’s censorship capabilities, confirming they target “crazy conspiracy right-wing people,” actively demoting their opinions.

Michael Zoorob, a Data Scientist at Meta, described the fact-checking process, stating, “the fundamental problem is that… the vast majority of what fact-checkers label as false is shared by conservatives,” admitting that any policy demoting content labeled false by fact-checkers disproportionately affects conservatives.

When addressing misinformation, Dzhelepov explained Meta’s approach: “it’s either censored or it says a [community note] thing, where it says, ‘this is disinformation, it’s probably fake’ under the post,” adding that Meta “actually suppresses certain voices.” Zoorob also recalled how Meta had downranked the Hunter Biden laptop story upon the FBI’s warning, stating, “We just downranked it,” making the post less visible in users’ feeds.”


This is why the left hate X. They had complete control of Twitter and global control of information.

WAR BRINGS PEACE AS HOUTIS BEG!!

The spokesman for the Houthis in a military statement:

We ask the neighboring countries and all the countries of the world to stop the aggression of Israel and the USA and we are ready to agree to peace and a ceasefire.
They want a ceasefire also. That will give them time to rearm Then look for an excuse to continue attacking. The excuse can be nything. From drawing a cartoon of their prophet, to killing of Sinwar, to occupying Gaza. Anything to break the ceasefire .

Trump Voters have received an anonymous letter threatening them not to vote for him. FBI I'm sure will investigate and catch the culprits in a similar way to the White House cocaine saga..Some of those who received the letter had Trump signs in their backyard.

LordReed:
1. Do you understand that local production also involves imported raw materials/parts? Therefore, an increase in tariffs is also going to cause the manufacturers to increase the price of these locally produced goods?
2. Do you realise that many manufacturing jobs were taken outside the US because of cheap labour? Therefore, those same goods manufactured in the US will by necessity be more expensive than those imported ones?
3. Do you realise that there are certain goods that cannot be had in the US that is why they are imported? Like fruits for example, 50 to 60% of fruits consumed in the US is imported. Do you not see what would happen if those prices go up?
4. How many of the Trump branded stuff is produced in the US? The Trump Bible isn't, the shoes aren't, watch isn't. Not even the MAGA hat is. If Trump is so concerned about local production, why has he consistently failed to produce his branded stuff in the US?
5. The tax thing is just trickledown economics by another name. And it has never worked.
You can actually compose a paragraph?

The Prosecutor in Harris went into the enemy territory and gave it to them right back. She had both weak and high moments but she did not bow down her head for a moment, she succeeded in making the points she wanna make about Trump and overran the questions she didn't like. Good one.

Now when is Trump going to MSNBC for an interview and have a conversation without insulting the interviewer?
Meanwhile Kamala went into some seriously dangerous territory where truthful questions were put out to her.

Baier: More than 70% of Americans say the country is on the wrong track. If you're turning the page, you've been in office for 3.5 years
Kamala: "And Donald Trump has been running for office."
Baier: "But you've been the person holding the office."

Now this is how the deep state works.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The federal judge overseeing the election interference case against Donald Trump directed prosecutors Wednesday to search for and provide to the former president’s lawyers any Justice Department information related to a separate investigation into Mike Pence’s handling of classified documents............
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan ordered Smith’s team to look for and produce any additional records on the investigation, noting that defense lawyers are entitled to cite evidence of a witness’s uncharged conduct as a way to undermine that witness’s credibility....
Pence appeared before a grand jury investigating Trump in April 2023... That June, Justice Department officials informed his lawyers that he would not face any criminal charges following the discovery months earlier of about a dozen documents with classified markings at his home.



Traitor Pence?

Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico:
Tantrums. Kamala threw one after the interview. Of course I can't vouch for this undisclosed source, I should get flak from people who believed that Trump lunged at the steering wheel from the backseat of the "Beast" while he was ferried in a SUV on January 6.

Edited: In 2016 Hillary Clinton in a townhall which if I'm right, didn't go her way. After , she threw a tantrum, flinging glasses and screaming at her aides ,sources said they'd never heard such gross and vile cursewords before.

May the blood of this person haunt your genitals.

The most alarming moment occurred when our local CBZ representative was attacked at the end of 2023.

He had gone to inspect a recently vacated three-bedroom apartment (a rare occurrence for such a large unit) only to find a group of men already inside. When he refused their $500 bribe to overlook the situation, they brutally attacked him. (This photo was taken shortly after he escaped, just before being admitted to the hospital. The video footage comes from one of our security cameras, capturing part of the assault.)

Listen, I think Harris will be a competent leader.
But, I do not want Trump anywhere near the white house.
I don't want a racist, sexist, degenerate, liar with a poor character to be President.
Covid was his leadership test and he failed it miserably.
It's rare that a President gets tested in a manner we can all see the results of his leadership.
It was horrendous.
Why would anyone want him to run anything, least alone out country?

He is an example of why DEI is necessary. We have a white man who failed miserably, killing many many people in turn. And because of that was kicked out of office. He is incompetent. But because he is a White Man, people are given him a pass, suddenly have amnesia and are praising him over a very qualified black woman.
Faucci lied. People died. He was the one calling the shots, nothing on COVID ,not a grain of salt can be blamed on Trump.
The democrats worked to ensure COVID was his Katrina... In the verbatim words of Nancy Pelosi
Take your gaslighting and shove it up where the sun don't shine.

Why are you asking me, aren't you the one who posted it?
The article I posted clearly indicated that the gangs took over 2 apartment blocks , the city officials controversially closed the third.
The thugs destroyed the premises CCTV footage. The video posted was from a private tenant who was first relocated to another house over her safety.
Bear in mind this is the property management declaration.
The media and Lordreed want to pretend gangs have not taken over

And that's why you are still asking those stupid one liners of yours.

Timeline of Events Surrounding J6 D.C. National Guard Deployment Shows Politically Motivated Decisions

https://open.substack.com/pub/juliekelly/p/timeline-of-events-surrounding-j6?r=45sa6j&utm_medium=ios

By June 10, 2020 Gen. Milley had decided not to resign. “Fucck that shit,” he reportedly told his staff. “I’ll just fight him.” Milley assured his confidants that he would never openly defy the president—a move he considered illegal—but he was “determined to plant flags.” He told his staff, “If they want to court-martial me or put me in prison, have at it, but I will fight from the inside.” Milley saw himself as “tasked” with safeguarding “against Trump and his people” from potentially misusing the military, something he confided in a “trusted confidant” to ensure he remained true to this plan. “I have four tasks from now until the twentieth of January,” he affirmed, “and I’m going to accomplish my mission.”

Aurora Colorado. Venezuela gang takeovers of apartments. Two versions of the same story. First one by the owners of the apartment groups taken over by Venezuelan criminal gang. They assert without a doubt that the criminal gang from Venezuela took over apartments they were managing,forcing tenants to move out. Gang wanted 50/50 split like the mafia. Now gang is renting them out and pocketing the rent.

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1844823369394376838.html

Where we stand now:
Two of our properties in Aurora, CO remain under gang control. By "gang control," we mean that most or all of the rental income is diverted to a criminal enterprise comprised of gang members and illegal immigrants instead of the rightful property owners. A third building was shut down by the city for "code violations.


Same story reported by npr. Which is supposed to be a neutral media. Other media reports this version, on search this second version is tops.

https://www.npr.org/2024/09/06/nx-s1-5100765/aurora-police-chief-says-theres-no-evidence-that-venezuelan-gang-took-over-apartment


America is in real trouble.. The truth is that majority media exists to protect the criminal Democratic party.
