BreakingNews21: Did Don Tzu purchase Spirit Airlines yet? I recall reading in the news that he attended a golf tournament at one of his South Florida golf courses recently.
AI Overview Spirit Airlines employed more than 3,000 people in South Florida at the time of its 2026 shutdown, including staff at their Dania Beach headquarters and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The company was a major employer in Broward County, with thousands of local pilots, flight attendants, and corporate staff losing their jobs as part of the total 17,000 employees affected company-wide.
Where is the Cadillac golf tournament? AI Overview The 2026 Cadillac Championship is being held at the Trump National Doral's Blue Monster course in Miami, Florida. The tournament, a PGA Tour Signature Event, runs from April 30–May 3, 2026, marking the venue's return to the PGA Tour for the first time since 2016

“No vessel is permitted to transit the Strait of Hormuz. Any vessel attempting to pass the Strait of Hormuz will be destroyed.” The full broadcast makes it crystal clear, with the IRGC declaring the area off-limits and vowing destruction for anyone trying to enter or exit between key points like Hengam Island, Minas Gerah Port, Mubarak, and Fujairah Port.

tctrills: In the last 60 years, mention that one positive thing, just one, that black America has achieved for its people. Just one please Take a look at basketball for instance. Magic Johnson rivalry with Larry Bird made NBA more popular and profitable. Then came MJ. The money made from basketball dominated by black players didn't and doesn't come from blacks ( ~ ~ 14% of the population). The guess is yours. MJ said whites also buy his shoes So yes let's spend the whole day blaming whites. |

DeepSight: Stop being silly, it is madness to count welfare that went to all races over sixty years as something special that blacks ought to have developed from. If each descedant of slavery gets $10 million today , after 5 years the blacks will have caught up with the whites? Or they will have danced azonto with the money? My friend, no amount of money will make such a huge difference. |

DeepSight: Welfare given to every poor person is not the same thing as reparations. That welfare is given to all races. That's one.
What do you mean the entire nation went to war "just to free them?" You make it sound like a favour?
Should they have been enslaved at all? And should anyone have fought to retain that system of slavery?
When you remember those whites who fought to free them, who were those whites fighting against? Other whites who wanted to keep slavery right? Do you forget that?
Here is the simple fact.
1. Jews got reparations 2. You don't want blacks to get same 3. Yet you congratulate Jews for doing better than blacks.
Why is that? It all boils down to reparations. After $6 Trillion , you still want more? Who should pay for it? |

If you haven't noticed we want the black community to excel.We want the excuses to stop.There should be a reflection on where blacks are and an honest discussion on how to move from there. What chains internally have bound that need to be removed. We don't want to dwell on the past . Forward always backwards never is a popular school motto. Start with the gang culture . Stable families. Petty jealousy. DeepSight: This tells alot about both of you. You don't get to discuss this subject at all without knowing something like that.

Is it not a shame that segregation lasted till the sixties? I mean the sixties for heavens sake.
So we are talking about a mere fifty to sixty years ago. And you expect that in that time the people so marginalized by society ought to have perfected everything? How will it not take time for heavens sake Tctrills and basilico.

Wake me up when blacks thank the whites who died to free them from slavery. It's always condemnation and demands for reparations. tctrills: Blacks received close to a hundred billion in welfare each year how is that not more than what Jews received?
The best the Jews get is 3.5 billion yearly in a defence pack with the US. 70% of which is spent in the US on America companies.
And yes, Germany gave them a few billions in a one time payment.
What have the blacks received?
The entire nation went to war just to free them. The received the blood and sacrifice of America. America fought to make them free.
And today what better reparations is better than the opportunity to live freely in the land of greatest opportunity.
Again, I fully support giving welfare to the poor black and white, I only ask, what have the blacks done with their opportunity? |

So a city was burnt to the ground and condemned all blacks from East to west to poverty. Make it make sense deepsight. tctrills: You dwell in irrelevance. That was in the 1920s. 100 years ago and some how, you feel it's the reason why black America is a mess.
Here are some figures that should make any sensible person think.
Despite segregation, the burning of black wall street, the KKK and all forms of oppression, black American reduced poverty by 45% from 1940 to 1965. Just 25 years. 87% to 41.8%
In the years following, with all the opportunities that freedom brought their way. With a welfare program that have them billions each year what have they done?
Poverty has reduced by 24% from 1965 to date. Why was black America able to do more with less? What changed? Within that same period, black on black violent blew up, fatherlessness became an epidemic.
They were given more and they did less that's the amazing story of black America |

https://www.ncr-iran.org/en/news/nuclear/iran-letter-by-khomeini-shows-that-he-considered-nukes/A newly disclosed letter from Ayatollah Khomeini written in 1988 says that Iran would need nuclear weapons to win the war with Iraq, a report says.
Former President Hashemi Rafsanjani released the letter as part of a feud with a military commander over responsibility for the 1988 cease-fire, the BBC reports.
In the letter, Khomeini, who died in 1989, quotes the country’s leading military commander of the day on the weaponry Iran would need to continue fighting. The letter also reveals that Iran’s economy had been almost destroyed by the eight-year war and that the supply of military volunteers was drying up.
The letter strikes a nerve because the current president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has denied that Iran plans to develop nuclear weapons. He has said that such weapons would violate Islamic principles.
But the letter suggests that Khomeini, leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution, had no such qualms.Later on a book was written about Khamenei declaring a fatwa on nuclear weapon. It was an oral fatwa which noone explicitly heard but Iranians use it fool the infidel armies. Obama in his desire to give Iran a bomb had his spin Master use that to declare that Iran wasn't developing a nuclear bomb. Wake up from your slumber. Iran has no need to enrich uranium when nations like Russia and America had promised to supply it with 3.5% enriched fuel. They went upto 20%. Netanyahu was ready to attack them..Obama threatened him and alerted Iran. They went upto 60%. They had promised not to develop ballistic missiles .when the said they had them,they lied about the range..2000 km but recently fired one with a 4000 mole range. Believe the Iranians at your own risk. Kingsnairaland: Wake up from sleep there is no atomic threat from Iran USA Trump just wants to steal Irans oil lol

cococandy: This is such a disgusting take. Do you even have any idea what you’re talking about? You know America is a hyper capitalist scape and to succeed as a community, black America needs to be able to control their own sources of capital, loans, mortgages etc.
Which they did and still do and every time they make way in their progress, racist America destroys it. Have you read about the destruction of black Wall Street? Which if left alone today would’ve funded many African American businesses without the prejudices that white lenders often attach to their business.
Do you know how many successful African American communities have been massacred and paved over with parks and lakes so that they never get ahead in life?
I pray for you that you may become more enlightened. I remember when I was uninformed like you too. And I chose pious hoity toity self righteousness thinking I must be somehow better than African Americans since I’m able to succeed and some of them still struggle.
Oh the naivety. I kinda pity you that you’re still stuck there mentally. But I have hope that you will wake up one day.
Get woke. Thank you What has impaired black progress is the subject matter. Is it the actions of others or does the African American community need to look inwards before blaming other factors Are there internal factors within the community that hinders them? Factors that are not in their DNA specifically. Things they can change They could be under undue influence to practice single parenthood living under welfare for example. They could have been injected with viruses from some Congolese apes by scientists studying HIV viruses. |

Who has excused white crime as not being from culture. Children from white neighbourhoods where drugs and gangs are the order of the day also grow up into the same. Children of drug Lords also become drug Lords if not criminal drug addicts. There are very many violent white only neighborhoods and the trajectory of the children there is almost a certainty. Let me give you some good advice. Join a golf club whether you play or not and you'll see life differently. Fake it , if membership is beyond your means. Pretend that you are in the house watching the Masters or Living Golf. Use chatgpt to teach you golf terns like birdies,irons, greens, slope ,boogies, caddies eagles , handicaps,over under par, tee off,etc😃😃😃 If you think football fans spend a lot of time discussing arsenal ,man useless etc ,Golfers can spend hours talking about golf. A golfing lifestyle is a culture. DeepSight: You don't know the meaning of culture. You heard a white man say black culture is the problem and you licked it off the ground he spat it down on. |

When a significant portion of a homogeneous society engages in a particular activity ,a culture will build up. Indians for instance have a business culture, they help each other from small stores to Big business.When most of them get educated they will join their fellow Indians Black kids living with gangs within their neighborhood will grow up into that culture be it hip-hop, rap music, basketball etc. Japanese have a culture of honesty and kindness. You'll find kids bowing to a driver who stops at a zebra crossing. Kids in creche going to school or shopping alone etc. Blacks exposed to gang culture and easy shortcuts to quick money become criminally prone. They could be quite a number. Argentina and Brazil kids grow up playing football in the streets. Many kids role models are great footballers, many gravitate to football. tctrills: Good, you are getting smart. Whites also have very bad cultures that they should improve. But I will leave it for whites to fix while you and I concern ourselves with fixing the evils in our culture.
You are finally getting it.
From the prompt below and it's result, you see that addiction is a cultural problem in the US. So yes, there are good and bad cultures and society should work to improve the bad or negative ones |

Ivanpah the solar thermal electric generating plant is to close down after only 11 years of operation. I've always said man made climate change via Carbon dioxide is a hoax. Obama and liberals green new scam gobbled up $2 billion dollars to have 350,000 computer controlled mirrors to heat up water to drive a steam turbine . Max output is about 1GW but the darn monstrosity does 398MW at most. At night or when it's cloudy they have to use natural gas to generate electricity. California Energy board has prevented it's closure despite gobbling $100 million annually to run it. The same carbon emission it was meant to escape is essential to the plant running. Makes the electricity charges in California to be higher. The money spent could have installed over 2.5 GW power capacity using solar panels . The plant is responsible for frying over 6000 birds annually. The plant also got tax breaks .
Liberals forcing the world to go green, disastrous consequences. EU has high energy costs because of this CO2 is heating up the planet insanity. (We tried getting a big tech open a Tier 3 data centre in Lagos using their own power generation plant . They said no, EU will penalize us for using fossil fuels).

Now this Germany’s automotive industry pleaded for an urgent de-escalation in the tariff dispute between the US and the European Union and called for immediate talks between the two sides after President Donald Trump said he would increase auto tariffs on the bloc next week. Liberal policies in Germany have increased their energy costs . China car exports into EU are growing. Germany vehicle market in China is shrinking. The US market has higher margins per vehicle (Conspicous consumption running riot). Germany auto industry is absolutely the big kahuna of the economy.
