The way you managed to twist a hateful republican bill into something to blame African Americans for is nothing short of astonishing.

Who’s currently harassing immigrants right now? News flash it’s not African Americans. It’s racist white people.

But somehow your logic led you to conclusion that those who are currently anti-immigrant and hateful towards them will overlook a chance to make money off the hate?

Your self hate led you to the conclusion that your fellow black people will be the ones capitalize and profit off a racist anti- immigrant bill.

I can’t anymore 🫠
Notice I give the bill distasteful. That neighbor of yours who envies your home, what prevents him from tipping off authorities that you are an illegal for no reason?
Why would a drug mule continue transporting drugs when he could out several illegals every day? Many African Americans are generally resentful of African immigrants, not all. This would be a golden opportunity for them to go bounty hunting.
God forbid the bill passes, every immigrant becomes a target..

In other cases it uses the fines to fund leftist causes.
That's the problem , funding liberal causes and shaking diwn any financial institution it doesn't like.

You’re not consumed with Obama hate at all.
Almost 10 years later you still have his name in your mouth.

Only those who dislike rapist Trump are consumed with hate. 🥱

Projections.
There is nothing to love about Obama apart from inspiring people to use whatever they have to rise to whatever position. Using oratory or race or whatever tools available. Then he screwed up Africa in all possible says.
Take George Bush for example. He signed AGOA Act into law ,which across several African countries South Africa, Tanzania,Kenya, Ethiopia created over 300K direct jobs mainly in textile industry...... Those clothes you buy made in Africa. Assuming each person supports 5 people in a family , Bush's effort nourishes over 1.5 million families in Africa today.Include technokogy transfer

Obama? Libya, Mauritania,Boko Haram, Mubarak in a cage... The great black hope whose half brother lives in some slum in Kenya.

They couldn't get Trump $25B to build a wall. Joe Biden stopped the wall day one , "That's not who we are , as Americans". He also was in the process of auctioning off border walls materials last few days in power.
Yet Biden could get over $183 billion to protect the borders of another country.

Almost a decade after Obama’s presidency some people are still obsessed with him. Let the conversation be about Trump who’s actively destroying the country aa we speak and setting us back on decades of progress, they’ll say you hate him.

What do you call an obsession with Obama almost a decade after his presidency. A presidency that had America strong as world power with the best economy in modern times. lol.
Did he create a strong economy after killing Gaddafi, breaking up Libya into smithereens and stealing it's gold? Then he moved to Suriya, funded Al Qaeda and ISIS leading to the caliphate, attempted extermination of the Yazidi population with enslavement and rape of their women. As if that's not enough He gave away the western wall to Muslims and installed Muslim brotherhood Mohamed Morsi in Egypt. His destabilizing Libya led to mass immigration increasing terrorist attacks in Europe plus proliferation of arms to murderous militias like Boko Haram plus wars in Mauritania and Chad

That's what makes you proud of Obama.When he comes for coffee to your home , ask him how is Libya and Syria today? Ask him why his daughter interned at the rapist casting couch Harvey Weinstein studios.Ask him if you have the cohones.

It pisses me off when anyone praises him like a saint. That coward can never do a press conference unless it's with lefty activist media. Dare himto a one on one with Tucker Carlson,Joe Rogan , Mark Dice or Seam Hannity if he has anything worth to ever talk about. For Africa how did he help us or Kenya where his father is from ? Zero.
His wife could only hold placards on Twitter "bring back out girls" while he interfered in our elections.
Most useless person . Joe Biden is better, he didn't know what he was doing and it's his Obama orphans who were running the show.

Zelensky ready to sign deal. He is already folding.

Zelensky offers to sign aborted mineral deal with US as Europeans rally in a ‘Coalition of Willing’
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has said he was ready to sign the aborted mineral deal with the US after British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a “Coalition of the Willing” to back him at a summit of European leaders


Fool. In the Art of the Deal once you reject a deal, that initial offer is gone. Gone for good. Any new deal offered will be under different, often worse terms.

Did he realize UK only has 25 active Main Battle Tanks?

For those of you in America who think democrats love you , wait till this bill is passed . Those African American brothers, whose accents you imitate, they will be the ones to hound you and tip off authorities to get the $1000 reward .
Personally I think this is a bill in very bad taste. Federal agencies including IRS and Prisons know where those in America illegally are.
This bill will just create bitter divisions that I guess will be mostly exploited by African Americans. They are the ones who demand reparations.
Might also create an industry where gangs resort to illegal importation of aliens .
A new industry of bounty hunters will be created by this bill..

Zelensky meeting He had already agreed to reject the deal with Trump according to a tweet just before Zelensky drive to WH I wonder why Trump didn't know of this tweet .

Before meeting Trump, Zelensky met with anti-Trump Democrats who advised him to reject the terms of the mineral deal the president was offering, according to Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.).
“Just finished a meeting with President Zelensky here in Washington. He confirmed that the Ukrainian people will not support a fake peace agreement where Putin gets everything he wants and there are no security arrangements for Ukraine,” Murphy’s office posted on X at 11:15 a.m. Friday.


He was just going to waste time, grandstand and embarrass Trump. His plan was to make Trump look like a Putin puppet. Loser,let's see how long he remains in power. The British Army’s armored and artillery forces are in crisis, with only 20–25 operational Challenger 2 tanks and a dwindling number of AS90 howitzers.

If you don’t know who Victoria Nuland is, or what she was doing in Ukraine in 2014, then you have no idea what’s going on.

The Deep State started this war. It was the Obama CIA/State Dept that funded Nazi militant groups to start a civil war in Ukraine, and initiated regime change to a CIA/State Dept puppet, Yatseniuk.

This was all revealed in the leaked phone call between State Dept diplomats and Deep State agents, Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey Pyatt (link in next post).

After the Maidan coup in February 2014, the US CIA/State Dept owned Ukraine via proxy, and the CIA began using Ukraine as a giant offshore playground for criminal racketeering and money laundering. Ukraine became one giant CIA base, directly on Russia’s border.

Then the US/NATO began building up Ukraine’s army for the sole purpose of one day fighting Russia. The US/NATO began supplying Ukraine with weapons, equipment, missiles, training, intelligence, etc.

Covert elements within the US government, along with their European partners in NATO, used espionage to overthrow and take control of the nation of Ukraine, then built a massive standing army on Russia’s border, then tried to bring Ukraine into NATO, and thus start WW3.



We all know this. Except those who want to live in denial.

Anywhere he goes, he will set fire.
Victoria Nuland was the mastermind of the Maidan revolution . She had influence in Kiev crushing the breakaway efforts of Eastern Ukraine.

She now works for prestigious DC lawfirm, Covington and Burling as a partner. Trump stripped the firm of it's Security clearance after it gave Jack Smith $140,000 as pro Bono services . Eric Holder is also a partner there. Recap: Michael Flynn lawyer, from Covington and Burling had pressured him to plead guilty to lying to FBI before Judge Contreras who ironically had signed FISA warrants to spy on Flynn by extension.

These EU are distracting their people from domestic failures. A threat of war is good enough to keep them in power. Keeping right wing at less than 50% they can form a firewall and remain in power for a very long time.
_Georgescu of Romania Charged after elections cancelled
_Bolsanaro, Brazil Charged & banned
_Trump Everything evil pinned on him
_Germany, Netherlands,France all had lefties gang together with greens and weirdos to prevent prevent right wing

They also use the threat of Russia to infringe on free speech for example using EU GDPR Act to overregulate and control free speech.
Bottom line is the liberal stranglehold on power , no leftie govt is safe in the EU from free elections.

Mumu take.

Why didn’t Biden first cause a further crash to Trump’s economy before improving it? He worked on the blunders Trump made in his first term and improved everything significantly.

Yet when it’s trumps turn he has to ruin everything first with stupid excuses because he’s so incompetent. Same way he inherited Obama’s economy and ruined it. Same thing he’s doing now. Inherited a rising economy and set it up for failure.

You don’t get sick of lying to yourselves.
With Trump crashing the economy did you ever consider relocating back home in his first term.
You still have a chance now because Trump is still ruining the economy after Joe Biden.

Get someone to read back to you the words you sometimes write.

UK had signed a 100 year agreement with Ukraine 10 days before Trump was sworn in.

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-and-ukraine-sign-landmark-100-year-partnership-to-deepen-security-ties-and-strengthen-partnership-for-future-generations

Identifies critical mineral strategic partnership among other areas.
Maybe this is why Zelensky refused to sign deal
_With Scott Bessent in Kiev
_With JD Vance and Rubio in Munich
_At the White house

Then UK PM gives him a big hug, signs a £3.6 B loan of which £2.6B is immediate,some of it from frozen Russian assets, offers boots on the ground and planes in the air ( with America back support),

That's not someone who wants any peace deal at all.
Zelensky gets loans from Europe but grants from Trump. Bad optics at all when looking for a peace deal

Hamas has IQ room temperature. They demand aid from America while holding their citizens as hostages. Thanks God I am not Trump. I would order IDF stop all aerial bombings , get coordinates of where Hamas has stockpiles and send B-52 bombers to clear everything within 100 metres radius and 100 ft deep.
The way to deal with terrorists is to terrify them , not send them aid while they are murdering hostages. Hamas and it's supporters should be shown no mercy Allow those who want to leave go to tents in Sinai desert , then make sure no structure is left

Norwegian largest fuel company refuses to supply fuel to American military submarines and naval vessels docked in Norway

We have today been witnesses to the biggest shitshow ever presented “live on tv” by the current American president and his vice president.

Huge credit to the president of Ukraine restraining himself and for keeping calm even though USA put on a backstabbing tv show. It made us sick. Short and sweet. As a result, we have decided to immediate STOP as fuel provider to American forces in Norway and their ships calling Norwegian ports.

“No Fuel to Americans!”

We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example. SLAVA UKRAINA


They would ot sell “a single liter” of fuel to American forces “until Trump is finished"

Norway can go it alone to find Kiev , their sovereign wealth fund is almost $2 Trillion dollars .

They later retracted, would have been nice to see Russia or China setup offshore drilling rigs on their territorial waters.

You’re looking us in the eye and trying to tell us that attempting to hang the vice president and attacking law enforcement in the capitol is not a crime. I don’t see why anyone would take any of you seriously. You don’t exist in reality. It’s a waste of time having a conversation with any of you people. Too far gone.
The FBI or hired hoons came in the morning setup a stand. Went away came back and finished the gallows. In the presence of Capitol police who didn't stop them. The whole Capitol area is said to have thousands of CCTV camera.
FBI have never arrested those fellows. They have never arrested the guy who placed the pipe bombs despite having clear footage of him.
Yet they used phone geo tracking and CCTV to hunt down anyone who entered the restricted area.
Conclusion. They were either feds or their hired goons .

I will be proven right on this. Take that to the bank and cash out.

Some of them were caught because they were bragging about it online. And shared videos of themselves at the capital attacking police officers. Let’s not believe them, their own words and the video evidence.
All those prosecutors in DC have been fired. Have you heard them complaining or suing like the other people. Because they know something you don't,they unfairly targeted people to prove a point.

_White vs white
_White vs black
_Black vs Black

Consider per Capita or the percentages of population
Old data.
To be sure, homicides in which the offender and victim were of the same race have vastly outnumbered interracial homicides for the past ten years. FBI data show that while 500 black-on-white killings and 229 white-on-black killings were reported in 2015, 2,574 homicides were committed by whites against other whites, and 2,380 by blacks against blacks.

If you clicked into your link above, you will see all the numbers agree

Roughly $120m given to Ukraine, and the remaining balance to $183bln spent by the US aid agencies directly for social alleviation in Ukraine

All agrees to Zelenskys statement couple weeks ago that about $170+bln has gone to Ukraine but he has only seen $70bln for weapons about $40bln+ for budget support and the rest was spent by US, which was of course spinned by Russia to say he can only account for $70bln of $170bln

According to official records, Congress appropriated or otherwise made available nearly $183 billion for Operation Atlantic Resolve and the broader Ukraine response. Additionally, the United States provided $20 billion in loans as part of the G7 nations' extraordinary revenue acceleration loans initiative.
