CIA now supports the lab origin possibility of the origin. This was after the new CIA director declassified a report. Note the report had been prepared before Ratcliffe took over. Important also it was after Doctor Death was pardoned by Xibiden.

Take you back in history? It was so interesting to me that Donald Trump’s first net approval rating of his second term is higher than his entire first term. I was curious—has that ever happened? Has a second-term net approval rating in the first month ever been higher than any net approval rating during the entire first term? Donald Trump is the only—

I have a really hard time believing this.

I read the news. The DOJ releases a bulletin, I read the bulletin. That's news, not MSNBC talking points.

What did you think there will be no negatives of all these Executive Orders? Why are you bothered that someone is reporting the negatives?

This is like my Latino buddy who voted Trump, reality don dey set in. Dude is now scared that he might lose his citizenship, because his parents were undocumented. I am like sorry buddy, but did you think they will not try to remove citizenship retrospectively? He thought that would be a crazy move, I am like who would stop them?

That's one negative instance of one EO, and that's the reality of voting Trump. Nothing to do with Democrats or MSNBC or CNN.
True. Remember you can never please everyone. And every action has a reaction.

It's been my position that those who push gender transitions to kids want them sexually exposed at a young age. They want kids who will definitely flaunt their booties, boobs etc. Perverts.
Joe Biden lost track of 320,000 children immigrants,Trump has already located 80,000 of them.Weep for the missing,they could be sex slaves or labourers as I write this.. Biden banned DNA tests at the border to prove kinship with those accompanying the kids. These kids could be under guardians who include Venezuelan gangs. I'll revisit this child trafficking by Joe Biden later when I get more.

The focus is on the negatives of his actions. That's all the media is reporting, sometimes lying For instance I saw something about Colombian president offering to send his presidential jet to pick deportees . After initially turning down a flight , he was threatened with tarriffs . He blinked.

You sound like you were never a Nigerian. This is the how third world countries are governed.

But more importantly, the beginning of autocracy in the US, and you are celebrating it. For someone who has black children in the US, it will not be "greatness to greatness" for them, when white racists people start to push for Brown v Board to be abolished.

If there is something I want Trump to fix , it's the Chinese substandard dumping of their products.
For example . On solar they send fake batteries all over the world, one person received a nice battery containing rocks.
Chinese don't care about us , their wealth (trade ) comes from the west.

We could say democrats are shocked that a candidate can actually work till 3 am in the morning to deliver on his promises . Unlike Joe who used to work from 10 am and take a lid at 4 pm, spent 40% of 4 years on vacation.

Well, how exactly are you going to do that? What exactly are you going to do? There’s no answer to it,” Obama said.

1. Pardoned violent rioters
2. Pardoned a drug dealer
3. Threatened to remove birthright,
4. Sacked 18 IGs from Federal Agencies,
5. Frozen all Police Reform Agreements. Agreements of reform including the proper use of force and discrimination by Police.
6. Started full implementation of ScheduleF of Project 2025.
7. Frozen the DOJ's Civil Rights Division. This is the department that looks after voting rights, election law, discrimination etc.
8. Issued order to DOJ cancelling all job offers to young lawyers after the hiring freeze signed by EO

... to name a few. These are just a few I have been noting myself.

Are you truly celebrating this? Shit is coming to a bus stop near you soon Dayo.
I take it that those are the democrat talking points for this week? Where you got that list from? From the propagandist Ben Rhodes who coined the echo chamber quote.
In the spring of last year, legions of arms-control experts began popping up at think tanks and on social media, and then became key sources for hundreds of often-clueless reporters. ’We created an echo chamber,’ [Rhodes] admitted, when I asked him to explain the onslaught of freshly minted experts cheerleading for the deal. ’They were saying things that validated what we had given them to say.’
“The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. … They literally know nothing,” Rhodes bragged.

The Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR) civil advocacy rights group said Trump’s suggestion was “delusional and dangerous nonsense” in a statement that also described it as a proposal for ethnic cleansing. “The Palestinian people are not willing to abandon Gaza, and neighbouring countries are not willing to help Israel ethnically cleanse Gaza,” it said.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/26/trump-resumes-sending-2000-pound-bombs-to-israel-undoing-biden-pause
Says CAIR, a Hamas lover, the unindicted coconspirator in the Holy Land Foundation convictions .

https://archives.fbi.gov/archives/news/stories/2008/november/hlf112508

CAIR's report is an exercise in disinformation, dishing out terms like "hate group," "misinformation" and "propaganda" without, in most cases, even a single purported example of "Islamophobia." It is just a projection of CAIR's own bigotry, which frequently takes aim at a list of prominent pro-Israel advocates, the Israel Defense Forces and the international Jewish community at-large.

If CAIR is your source of anything,you support terrorism, knowingly or foolishly unknowingly. I'd go with the former.

When people were complaining about the cost of eggs as the reason why they voted for him, it was okay.

Now that eggs are even more expensive and expected to rise, it’s a whinefest? Pls use what’s remaining of your brain if there’s any left.
The price of eggs is more impactful than say men being kicked out if female prisons and women sports.

People literally voted him for the economy and cost of milk and eggs. You’d be very very incredibly stupid to think that they should turn a blind eye if that problem is not resolved like he promised or if it gets worse.

I know people generally tend to ignore your foolishness as you rant like a bot on this thread. But it gets to a point when it’s ridiculous.

You don’t live in America. If Americans want to complain about the cost of groceries, they can. Without you in your ignorance being a dumbass about it.

Wtf is wrong with you?
Eggs are drowning out major Biden failures . That's my point. It's how those in power confuse the masses. Don't fall for it , that's my reasoning. Trump found a cure for a cancer this past week, since he cannot be talked about in good light, prices of eggs are the trending topic.

This egg price is all over the news. Democrats don't seem to have any major grievance except eggs. It's all a coordinated plot.
What other topic will they rant about this week?
Google search on eggs and it's all a whine fest amplified by the search engines. I pity someone searching for something like how many mitochondria are in an egg, they will have to wade through this whining before they get relevant info.

Trump EO effects
President Donald Trump has restored single-sex prisons, sending male inmates who identify as women back to men’s facilities.
The approximately 1,500 male federal prisoners who identify as women will now be sent to men’s facilities in the wake of President Trump’s executive order establishing single-sex prisons, according to a report by the New York Times

If trump was to make sensationalist or misleading news headlines illegal, I will be in support of it tho.
While at it he should also bring back the fairness doctrine Regan repealed.
The headline was intentional. There are many who just read a few lines and conclude. This is actually criminal. The reporting was not real time, they just added a footnote sorta that 4 planes landed but could not determine blah blah blah.

Democrat incompetence. LA Mayor Bass who had received a weather report before the fires did nothing and took off to Africa was trying to lie to President Trump. Apparently affected homeowners can't move in to clear the debri because EPA and some other regulations ( hazardous waste!!! ) have to be factored in before they set foot on their burnt out properties.
Trump to waive every federal permit required and wants them to fix their homes now.
Democrats are just cringe.And saddists.

🚨 Trump just had a 1-on-1 exchange with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass regarding the wildfires.

This is so, so refreshing. Just watch.

TRUMP: Groups are saying they can't start [rebuilding] for 18 months.

MAYOR KAREN BASS: No. You can hold me to that.

TRUMP: 4 groups said that.

BASS: No.

TRUMP: They need to start tonight.

BASS: That [delay] will not be the case. But you know first, we have to get rid of hazardous waste. We are expediting everything. We need your help.

TRUMP: You've got it. You will have no permit problem, there will be zero delay. I am more worried - at least 8 groups of homeowners, I met. They said it's 18 months. They want to start now, they want to start cleaning up. You said hazardous waste - what is that? You have to define it. Are we gonna go through a whole series of questioning on defining it?

BASS: Nope, nope, nope.

TRUMP: Let them start the process tonight.

BASS: And we will. You can come back and check.

Media needs to be criminally charged. Can't vouch for this , it seems NBC lied about Mexico not accepting to take in deported immigrants.
This is what Trump was against on his first term. Media lies and Republicans working against him.. yesterday it took JD Vance to break the tie for Hegseth. In the first term Ryan Paul refused to provide funds for border wall, he resigned in 2018, maybe he was hoping to get VP if Pelosi impeached Trump.
This time looks Trump is going for broke. He fired all 17 Inspector Generals yesterday.

ChatGPT said:
ChatGPT
It's important to approach discussions about race and violence with care and nuance. Violence is a complex social issue influenced by many factors, including socioeconomic conditions, access to education, systemic inequality, and more. It isn't accurate or productive to categorize an entire racial or ethnic group as being "violent." Crime rates and violent incidents vary widely across different communities and are shaped by various circumstances rather than inherent characteristics tied to race.

Rather than focusing on race, it's more constructive to address the underlying causes of violence—such as poverty, lack of opportunity, systemic discrimination, and social disintegration—and work toward solutions that promote justice and equality for all individuals, regardless of their background.

The Nazi ideology as you surmised rested on the superiority of the blue eyed Aryan race . They would've killed everyone not matching that, The Slavic and Romania Gypsies also suffered greatly. Despite an agreement with Stalin he still invaded Russia.
Hitler blamed the economic problems of Germany on the Jews Hitler was deeply antisemitic and racist. He refused to shake Jesse Owens hand in the Munich 36 olympics.
At the heart of the final solution was the desire to exterminate all Jews.
Thus the most visible form of Nazism is the Jew hatred . Only Jews were forced to wear yellow bands Jewish businesses were targeted in the
kristallnacht. The night of the long knives.
You may want to cover for Nazi as being opposed to every other non Aryan plus the disabled and weak in the society . It's well known Nazism was anti Jewry. Jews took the heaviest toll 6 million dead and were almost wiped out in areas of the lebensraum leaving the French, later day Vikings, Polish etc
The rest of the world pretended not to see as Hitler established the death camps specifically for the Jews. Can you imagine building factories that don't produce beef or pork but designed to kill Jews, confiscate their valuables and incinerate their bodies to ash?

Points are a marginal benefit. You can’t start a business with bank loan without a good credit history. Even if you have the cash, why wouldn’t you use the banks’ money that’s already insured?

Little things like this show you truly don’t know what you don’t know. Even as “small” a benefit as they are, why would I pay thousands every time I go on a trip if my points can cover it at no cost to me? About 6 countries in the last few months and I only paid for hotels like 3 times. That’s a few extra thousands in my pocket instead of paying it when I didn’t need to.
