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
Don't think you'd want to fly in an airline that brags about it's all female captain and first officers being females.

Democrat Attorney Generals from 23 states have been meeting daily using Zoom to plan on how to fight Trump.They hired extra lawyers to draft and research on every order that Trump would sign .They picked their jurisdictions carefully where they had greater chances of blocking Trump. The states contribute money and task their legal departments.

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

At the end, a lot of wastage will be cut without cutting into medicare and Medicaid.

Many retirees still erroneously believe that the monies they paid as SS taxes are what they’re being paid by the government.

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.
I don't mean social security.That is critical .
I meant benefits to unemployed 29 year olds playing video games in their parents basement.

Exactly. I wonder who she is protecting!!
The trial did reveal Epstein homes had cctv cameras. Paedo island, his ranch, Florida and Manhattan homes were raided by FBI ,sealed and everything was carted off.
Releasing 200 pages is an insult to the intelligence of everyone. There are videotapes, noone wants to watch them. Everyone would want to know who was caught committing crimes against children and why they are not in jail.
Non disclosure leads to speculation and conspiracy theories.

Well, I’ve come to the sad realization that even if the entire Pentagon budget is nuked, the federal deficit would still stand at $1 trillion. To totally eliminate the deficit or greatly reduce it, I’m afraid we may have to talk about cuts to Medicaid, and/or Medicare 🙆🏽‍♂️

Still on the Epstein no show . How could Pam Bondi only release 200 pages from. FBI.
It's was reported that FBI broke into his NY home using a saw where they found photos, gold chains, hard drives and CDs. Pam didn't know this?

His house was creepy. She promised to release files ,not a list His photos, paraphernalia etc should be included. Sick pervert.

Big anticlimax. Pam Bondi revealed nothing new in Epstein files. Only thing of substance is the sealed 254 victims. FBI only gave her 200 pages, SDNY has documents concerning Epstein that they are withholding,are expected to be released later
SDNY where a whole lot of them quit in protest when ordered to drop NY mayor charges. Yet they have been sitting on evidence regarding Epstein crimes against children. These smug prosecutors should be threatened with jail for suppressing evidence

Years ago America justice system was the standard benchmark.. After Eric Holder and Obama, the American justice system is nothing but a sham

Budaatum.
President Donald Trump accepted an invitation on Thursday from King Charles III for a second state visit to the United Kingdom.

The invite came in a letter presented to Trump by U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who is meeting with Trump at the White House regarding ending the war in Ukraine.


Last time he was there liberal protesters floated his caricature in protest. Let's see whether they will do that this time or maybe USAID funds have dried up? Still didn't deter UK playing second fiddle ( but courageous fighters) to America troops in the fight against the ISIS caliphate that had seized territory larger than the United kingdom because of Obama calling them a JV team.
Pun fully intended. I can be annoying but idagf.

I really do not take basilico and his sort seriously at all. If he says the blue sky is blue, I'd go check the meaning of blue and sky and 'is' even, because he distorts the facts far too much for anything he says to be taken at face value.

See as he wants to jail those Rudy harassed. Given a chance he'd jail the Sandy Hook parents too for going after his anointed infowars guy.
I never asked to be taken seriously.
I have suffered my fair share of being called a conspiracist theory by people who cant admit they was better off under Trump.
Everything I have sated here will be proven true and those criminals who framed Trump and his supporters deserve looong jail times. Rudy never harassed them, the FBI refused to investigate his claims. Just like they refused to act on his Ukraine investigation but had Trump impeached. Rudy is a hero, more sinned than sin itself. He will be vindicated. Take that to the bank.

Jamie Raskin the pardoned J6 sham committee and also impeachment manager in the Trump cases has ties to USAID funding

https://x.com/MilaLovesJoe/status/1895042020718297561

EXPOSED: J6 Committee Member Jamie Raskin's $160M USAID Connection! 🚨

You won't believe this - Representative Jamie Raskin, one of the key figures on the J6 Committee sho received a pardon from Biden, is linked to a MASSIVE $160 MILLION from USAID! 😱

Not only was he part of the squad trying to 'keep us in check' during the J6 hearings, but he's also the representative for Global Communities, a giant USAID contractor that raked in $160,000,000 in 2023! 🤑💸

Is this what they call "following the money"? Talk about a conflict of interest!


USAID was definitely fueling democrat pet projects.

The Justice Department announced earlier this week that it has charged 14 members of an “extensive alien smuggling organization” while eight other people were also arrested for smuggling hundreds of illegal migrants into the U.S.

On February 19, a grand jury in Las Cruces, New Mexico, returned an indictment against 14 individuals for conspiracy to transport, harbor, and bring illegal aliens into the United States. Eight of those charged were arrested on February 20 and 21, said a DOJ press release on Monday.According to the indictment, the defendants were involved in a conspiracy to unlawfully bring undocumented individuals from Mexico into the United States via the southern border. The indictment claims that the defendants also facilitated the transportation of these individuals within the U.S. and concealed them in “stash houses” along the route, said the press release


How about Democrat Party specifically Joe Biden, border Czar Kamala Harris and Mayorkas DHS head They also facilitated child trafficking and sexual exploitation of illegal aliens by commission or omission. ICC would indict them on a " Joint Criminal Enterprise charge, this doctrine considers each member of an organized group individually responsible for crimes committed by the group within its common plan or purpose.The three bear the most responsibility.
