Typical maga.
I'm not done with COVID.
I'm sure your liberal media has reported this .
Dr Birx the WH COVID coordinator during Trump 1.0 says covax was not meant to prevent infection

https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/government/dr-deborah-birx-confirms-covid-vaccine-was-not-designed-to-prevent-against-infection-in-shocking-revelation/ar-AA1ziXwG

In an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored, she said we've “done wrong in public health” by not explaining the COVID vaccine is unlike childhood vaccines.

“The childhood vaccines, like many of the diseases, you get it once, you don’t get it again,” she explained. “And this is getting the children to have that disease without getting the deadly consequences. That is not what the COVID vaccine was designed to do. It wasn’t designed to prevent infection, and if you look at the vaccine hesitancy rates, they’ve doubled since COVID.

You're probably deciding to be ignorant about the drain from Nigeria of health workers and teachers, and yourself too, since you claim to be paid with US tax money.

You are naive Ibime. I thought you are smarter than this. The west and Russia has always been enemies. Which one be Russia decided to break the west in 2012 and they are using Facebook 😂😂

Do Russians ask the West to censor its own people? Do they ask for mass migration? Do they ask for the people to protest?

They paid few hundreds for ads on Facebook 😂😂

Yes, Russia is a threat to Europe n Russia sees Europe as a threat too.

The enemy won't be Russia, the enemy will be halal from within
Ibime is ok with this overreach.
LONDON (AP) — Apple said Friday it will stop offering an advanced data security option for British users after the government reportedly demanded that the company provide backdoor access for any data those users have stored in the cloud.
The iPhone maker said its Advanced Data Protection encryption feature is no longer available for new users in the United Kingdom and will eventually be disabled for existing users.


The UK wanted a backdoor access . To every icloud account including Trump's.
Where have we seen this before France They wanted backdoor access to Telegram. The billionaire founder refused. They set him. Up for a meeting in France , where they arrested him and are charging him for whatever users do on telegram.. drugs, terrorism, child trafficking etc.

Liberals insatiable demand to censor and prevent negative opinions knows no bound.
People like Ibime are brainwashed by Russia Russia Collusion from the left.

You have shown nothing of the sort! And you can't because nothing of the sort exists.

I picked up the 6th edition of the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary. It has a brief history of English by David Crystal, which quotes Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English Nation, written c.730.

The island at present ... contains five nations,the English, Britons, Scots, Picts, and Latins, each in its own peculiar dialect cultivating the sublime study Divine truth.

And that's apart from the constant invasion by Romans, Vikings, Germans, French, Scandinavians etc, most of who settled in Britain and helped form the language you now write in.

If UK did not welcome immigrants, the buses and trains would not run, the hospitals will lack staff, and the culture would be so insular it would have best been described as incestuous. And I bet its the same in Germany, since immigrants were not welcome in either country because of their love for immigrants but because of selfish need.

Its like USA needing farm workers and coders. They can't produce enough of them locally, so they H-1B them. The alternative is to take the jobs where the people are as has been done with manufacturing, which has made America decline, and is why maga.
You are deluded. You think the Brits need to grant foreigners citizenship to work their trains and other stuff?
Qatar.
Population Size: Qatar has a total population of approximately 2.7 million.
Foreign Population: A staggering 85% to 90% of this population consists of foreigners, making it one of the countries with the highest percentage of expatriates in the world.
Workforce Composition: About 95% of the workforce in Qatar is made up of migrant workers, primarily from South Asia and other regions.

Not that I agree the countries you listed are homogenous, Hong Kong definitely isn't, nor is Singapore, but have you not noticed how they are not in Europe where most immigrate to?

Now imagine they are not homogeneous and had immigrants, and some stupids want to homogenise them. Does gas chambers and Auschwitz come to your mind or are you one of those denialists?
You are wrong as I showed immigration does not help advance a countries development. Liberals need your votes that's why they have a gazillion parties with firewalls in place to prevent right wing from ascending - Holland, Germany and France are recent examples where liberals fi5rm coalitions with anyone but right-wing.
Your value to UK is just your vote and reparations for their colonization.
Now that Europe is miscegenated there is no way it can be homogeneous.. They should learn to live with that.
The rise in right wing is promoted by policies of the left.. Censorship, forcing stuff like lbgtq regardless on their population, dictas hurled down from Brussels, Ukraine war etc
Right wing parties are not calling for ethnic or racial cleansing but of course that's how you want to present it Don't confuse individual rants to a political party position.

Germany, like most of Europe, is not homogeneous, since people from all over have migrated there from the beginning of time, so you can't maintain what never existed, and your attempts to homogenise Germany involves the elimination of those you claim are not homogeneous with you. And anyone who knows history or has not lived in a qanon rabbit hole like you do knows how that panned out.

You might understand it better if Lagosians were trying to homogenise Lagos, or if you studied the Hutus and Tutsis trying to homogenise Rwanda
Japan, Korea, Hong Kong , Singapore, China are homogenous societies that are highly developed without immigration. The left touts immigration as key to growth.In reality the left needs immigrant votes.
You are always poring through an opinion from a racist point of view. Europeans have welcomed immigrant's from all over the world. There reaches a point where enough is enough , the rising crimes from immigrants is causing distress. Making the case for the rise of anti immigrant parties
Don't forget almost every white person sees you as inferior but would never show you that.
I've not heard calls for immigrants to be removed wholesale from Europe,the noise is basically on opening then borders to everyone claiming assylum.
EU pretends to have big influence globally....
Today's fact.
You aware that 7 tech companies in America have $13T market capitalization while the entire EU stock market is just above $8 Trillion .

And then to add insult to injury, the president is on his social media platform mocking the workers who are confused and scrambling because Elon threatened them they’d be fired if they didn’t respond to his email in 48 hours explaining 5 things they do at their job.

No consideration that it’s a weekend and people don’t check work emails during the weekend. No consideration for people on leave etc.
Just being a dick for the sake of it.

Even if he doesn’t care about the one half of the country that didn’t vote for him, a lot of these govt workers actually thought he was on their side and voted for him. I’m wondering if this is how they imagined he would treat them.
Change is always resisted and there are casualties. New employees can easily move on. Older employees are experienced and they would easily not squander their benefits or life whining about a lost opportunity.
Amidst it all , govt is bloated . I get you think it's not so.

Livelystone01: Liberals try to control the media and manipulate people. See what happened in Germany.
Incoming German Leader: Musk and Trump brazenly interfered in our election. Musk will not go unpunished after trying to interfere in the German election using Twitter (X).
Bemeruca: The incoming German Leader doesn't know what he is talking about.

Kind of cognitive dissonance and logic you can expect when one's brain is filled with right wing propaganda.
It's only interference when the liberals lose. Didn't EU say they was happy with cancellation of Romania elections and they would do the same for Germany.
Didn't UK send Labour volunteers to campaign for Kamala.
Does USAID and CIA not fund govt overthrow in other countries
Didn't 51 disgraced IC operatives dismiss Hunter laptop with Zelensky silent about Burisma corruption.

Bloody fool. The liberals are scared of losing power they scream interference when elections don't go their way
They accused Putin of spending 100,000 on FB adverts in an election Hillary spent over $1 billion.

Wisconsin governor proposes some woke changes to state law.


One proposed change would swap the word “mother” in favor of “inseminated person

Evers has also proposed changing the term “paternity” to “parentage” in some parts of state law.

But Evers did not stop there his efforts to wokify language.

His administration’s budget recommendations for 2025-2027 includes additional pandering to the woke crowd by changing the terms “wife” and “husband” to “spouse.”

Additionally, “father” would be changed to “parent,” and “mother” would become “parent who gave birth to the child.”

Classic example of a libtard brain completely mushed up by propaganda, falsehood and lies.

That's why I tell people to vet news and refuse to be a dumpsite where false information is tested.

Compare actual transcript to image libtard above quoted.
Aftermath.

Today the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) sent a letter to the Maine Department of Education Commissioner Pender Makin announcing that OCR is initiating a directed investigation of the Maine Department of Education (MDOE) amid allegations that it continues to allow male athletes to compete in girls’ interscholastic athletics and that it has denied female athletes female-only intimate facilities, thereby violating federal antidiscrimination law,” the DOE said in a press release.

“The letter also notifies MDOE that OCR is launching an investigation into Maine School Administrative District #51 (MSAD #51), after it was reported that Greely High School, a school under its jurisdiction, is continuing to allow at least one male student to compete in girls’ categories.”


A female competitor can sue them on grounds that she lost a scholarship or earnings as a result of being matched with a male competitor. They would have to prove that the mlale competitor was infact a woman.
Liberals can be so brainless.

He had already figured out Trump mind. Trump would start a war with China in 2020 so that he would not vacate the Presidency. In his wisdom Gen Milley called his Chinese counterpart to letthem know that any Trump order to attack would be defied by the military. Milley would also alert defence chiefs in other countries ,he would give them a heads up if Trump launched any new attacks.

Another judge ordered Trump not to block anyone on Twitter them because he was using it to disseminate official policy. Judge didn't care that many bots were instantly replying negatively to him as soon as he unleashed any

I am only trying to point out why nateevs will put out Trump's campaign statement to contrast Trump's recent statement, which justifies his call for us to wait till the deed is done or not. Else we might be blindly arguing or defending a non existing action.

Personally I will commend Trump if he will sincerely cut Pentagon budget the right way, like you always said, Democrats have failed to do the same, so Trump will deserve some commendation if he actually does something meaningful about that, in a way that does not diminish US power. What though I will not see as a cut is an attempt to cut from Taiwo and add to Kehinde withing the same family, like cutting from some programs to fund other programs withing the same defense budget, leaving a zero net cut. That will just be a readjustment. But then I will also not want to debate all these till the time we see concrete actions towards Defense budget cut.
