Holy cow. SPLC might have paid some of the informants who infiltrated the Jan 6 protests
Jim Jordan had subpoenad SPLC for all it's communications with the Biden administration a few weeks ago. I keep saying what's been secret will one day be revealed. I will laugh last. Fedsurrection. Feedthenation Lordreed |
Not so fast. This California law was blocked by supreme court. Overview of the Law (AB 1955) Passed in 2024, the SAFETY Act prohibits public school districts from enacting or enforcing "forced outing" policies. Under the state law: Consent Requirement School staff are barred from disclosing a student’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression to anyone—including parents—without the student's explicit consent. Employee Protection: The law shields teachers and administrators from retaliation or disciplinary action if they refuse to notify parents. State Argument: California officials argued that the policy protects a minor's constitutional right to privacy and safeguards vulnerable students from potential family rejection or abuse. Clearly California want to transition your kids without you knowing until it's too late. And yes I know you don't support gender transitions. I have no problem with gays or lesbians, I have worked with gays and lesbians. I had a close friend who is a lesbian,says she never had sex with a man and can never. Apparently she has plenty of those penetrative toys .Gays and lesbians should do their thing without forcing the society to accept them has been my belief. I do have serious problems with those who push gender transitions to kids. No kid should be allowed or influenced to do so unless they are 18 years and above. Proposals by that community have been to block use of puberty blockers .What that means is before a kid is 10 /11 he or she starts undergoing the transition. Those kids are already sexualized. That kid should be growing normally but is instead seeking admiration over his body changes Everyone loves their body being complimented esp body builders. Who do you think compliments a young boy who is growing a pair of boobs ,no beards plus a bum bum to boot? Going by that vote 198 democrats voted no while all republicans voted to ban the transitions. The other day , Republicans in Oklahoma had other ideas about totally banning marriages below 18, based on their own interpretation of early pregnancies . Long and short ,democrats are the real paedophiles not Republicans. Hope this explains why I mentioned you on a seemingly unrelated matter . cococandy:

AG Todd Blanche has indicted an assistant US attorney in southern Florida who reportedly worked with Special Counsel Jack Smith in the documents case. Judge Aileen Cannon essentially placed Volume II of Smith's report on the case under seal, forbidding anyone at DOJ or any government agency from sharing the report. Why? Because she had dismissed the document indictment in July 2024 after concluding Smith's appointment was unconstitutional. But is appears this prosecutor, Carmen Lineberger, stole the report and tried to conceal what she did. A grand jury in Fort Pierce--the hive of the DOJ's grand conspiracy investigation--indicted Lineberger on four counts. Bigger question: who was she planning to leak the report to? Not like she stole it as a souvenir The timing of Lineberger’s theft of Jack Smith’s documents report also is suspicious. She sent it to her personal account a few weeks before Smith’s first deposition before House Judiciary. Democrats repeatedly raised the fact that Cannon had banned the report’s release; Smith also addressed it during his Congressional interview. At the opening of Smith’s interview, an individual who appears to be a staffer for Jamie Raskin complained about Cannon’s order prohibiting the release of the report.

LordReed:CDC data is nonsense. How can you be helped ? |
Deepsight. Rep. Ayanna Pressley took the stage and declared that every ounce of American success was built on the backs of Black Americans—then demanded reparations as payback. Such talk is not helpful.

If you had a girl child you'd be comfortable a school counselor advising her to get a mastectomy , take testosterone. If you had a boy child you'd be happy the counselor advising him to take oestrogen + progesterone and have his wee wee cut off. And all this be done without your knowledge . California has a law similar to that.

True the independent are around 40-45% with the rest almost equally split. The pollsters I tend to believe are deliberately skewered and oriented towards a certain result. bemeruca:6 |
You can't industrialize without reliable ,cheap and abundant energy. The market is there. There are no excuses whatsoever to company executive in the private sector making losses when their product can't meet demand. Govt should facilitate industrial development by availing a favourable business climate and steering off non essential sectors. Take a massive housing construction boom. Target a million homes a year, use local materials. Force manufacturers to build everything from nuts,bolts, gauge wire, plugs,taps ,pegs , nails etc locally..This should be a years long development goal then finally move in to construction. That was just one example of an idea that would encourage industrialization. Develop a parallel competitive financial sector in the process. You don't industrialize without a market.Use the existing local market demand for homes . DeepSight: |
Those historical factors are a fact as you have eloquently elucidated them. They are in the past,we are in the present. You have covered the past. Now explain why we are not moving forward, Why don't we have government forecasting population growth 10 years ahead and scaling up water reservoirs, electrical generation, transport infrastructure, 4G connectivity etc ahead of time. We have a fully functional National Bureau of Statistics. Bequeathed to us by our colonial masters. DeepSight: |
bemeruca:The polls Trump sitting on negative approval are fake. 37-0 means his supporters are showing up in numbers everywhere . |
LordReed:I believe I had posted this several years ago. Children died when they were injected with the vaccine.
Or you still think it's a conspiracy theory. You may have noticed if you are smart enough that media reporting especially over Trump and conservatives last ten years has been found to propaganda. You be that smart to notice? |
I've been away for a few days from this page. How many square feet has Putin rag tag army gained in Ukraine those few days |
Trump has 99% approval in Israel. He might go there and run for PM.

DeepSight:You might want to consider how African leaders go to IMF to beg for aid, a whole entourage that books into the most expensive hotel . Or how the host IMF / World Bank meetings in their office boardrooms. 50 foot mahogany desk with marching with wood panels, executive leather seats , 20 tea girls . Begging for aid while displaying unimaginable opulence. That had nothing to do with climate , civil rights, etc. |
Senator John Cornyn helped execute the 2020 coup.
He has impeded the VoterID Act. Ken Paxton was already more popular than him ,with Trump's endorsement, Cornyn political career is over. FAFO. |
Raul Castro indicted on murder of four Americans. His goose is cooked. Another Maduro raid possible . Lest you forget ..Obama went to Cuba in 2014 to make peace with him .He went on behalf of America. basilico: |
GracieX3:Very flimsy evidence of corruption. No same prosecutor would bother investigating such. About his hotels. He stays in his hotels. You expect secret service to stay.. In another hotel. Again we are talking $ 13m He has businesses.Now that he is president his businesses are supposed to stop operating. |
LordReed:Yes you should. |
GracieX3:Blacks have gotten more aid than Israel has . The ones in America and in Africa. Refute that. If Israel is 12 years older than Nigeria, wind the clock back 12 years and compare it's GDP then. Use their GDP today to predict our GDP in 12 years also. Add other development indicators like water per Capita, electric availability and reliability, percentage of asphalt roads, etc. Predict where Nigeria will be ne based on 12 year lag behind Israel Admit the obvious. We have failed |

I was sceptical about Pfizer the day vaccine was announced if I remember. I must've calked it a campaign gimmick. I have been anti vaccine, I still am and will continue to be. Overall I'm disappointed Trump keeps bragging about "operation warp speed", though he thought the intentions of Dr Death and Co were noble LordReed: |
Israel as a nation was recognized in 1948. The Jews in Israel were called Palestinian Jews. The present day Palestinians are just Arabs from Jordan, Egypt, Iraq, Syria etc. They are not distinct. Before 1948, Palestine Post, Football club , Orchestra, coins etc were all Jewish. This 1927 coin is in Hebrew. Jerusalem has always had more Jews than Arabs. When Europe chased it's Jewry away and is now replacing them with Muslims ,they joined their kith and kin in present day Israel.All Arab neighbors also chased away their Jews who found a home in Israel. Arab Jewish population declined to almost zero. While the Palestinians Many Jews also settled in America . Maybe you didn't know that history. Fun fact. Since 1950s. Africa has received more $2.6 Trillion in aid. Blacks in America have received $6 Trillion in aid. Israel has received $300 billion in aid. cococandy:

Speaking of traitors. In 2020 Trump appointed Mike Pence the coordinator of the WH Coronavirus Task force. Other members were Dr Fauci and Dr Birx. The taskforce was able to quickly churn out supplies and facilitate research on vaccines. 2 days after Joe Biden was declared the winner , Pfizer proudly announced their vaccine had 90% efficacy against the virus. Nov 9. By December 2 ,Pfizer was already exporting the vaccine Logically long before by election day the results of the tests were in. Pfizer should have announced months before that their vaccine was promising, or at least several weeks before the election. They didn't. It would have given Trump a huge campaign boost. Mike Pence and Fauci knew about this , they chose not to announce the good news because it would have helped Trump . Democrats had spent a whole year accusing him of mishandling COVID . Mike Pence was a traitor from the word go. He was the one who was supposed to replace Trump with the release of the grab em tape. He was the one who said Flynn lied to him about talking to Russia Ambassador. In reality Flynn didn't tell him because it was a non issue, Flynn had been speaking to every other ambassador in preparation of his role as incoming Nat Sec Advisor. Trump would have cured cancer were it not for such traitors .

Israel only came into existence as a nation in 1948. It's GDP is higher than every African nation. Stop dwelling on trivialities. GracieX3: |
Brad Raffensperger Georgia Sec of state loses his gubernatorial bid . In 2021 Trump called Raffesnperger holding a copy of an audit report made by the Trump team. He explicitly mentioned discrepancies and asked Raffesnperger not to certify the election. Trump was sure that 17000 votes were fraudulent ( (it's a fact) ,Joe Biden was ahead by 11000. Raffesnperger deputy Jordan Fuchs was in on the call , she recorded it and leaked it to Wapo. The selected part was Trump asking Raffesnperger to find him 11000 votes and declare him the rightful winner. Jordan Fuchs recorded the call while in Florida.In Florida you can't record a call without consent of both parties. She broke Florida law in other words . The leak was timed to cause max damage to the 2nd sham impeachment being moved forward by Pelosi with the help of Mary McCord. Raffesnperger FA and found out. The crooked Raffesnperger and Governor Kemp made sure Trump lost Georgia in 2020. Todd Blanche confirmed on Sunday to Bartiromo and to the Senate Appropriations committee yesterday that DOJ is investigating Fulton County over 2020 elections. Republican Massie is also out. Senator John Cornyn is also bound to lose, Ken Paxton has officially bern endorsed by Trump. John Cornyn is part of the RINOs holding back the VoterID Bill. FAFO. For the avoidance of doubts I deliberately mention specific names wherever possible . Arizona Governor Kattie Hobbs is also not sitting pretty. Tod Blanche confirmed DOJ is investigating Arizona 2020 elections. She was Sec of State then , when she ran for governor she was in charge of Arizona elections defeating Kari Lake by only 17000 votes out of 2.5 million cast. These corrupt RINOs need to be voted out |
tctrills:Negative effects on climate have largely been conquered. Similar to how engineers conquered wind, building skyscrapers. It's a modern world , Africans are educated, they make development plans and fail to follow through. Sahara desert is neither here nor there. |

DeepSight:You are suggesting that those jailed and pardoned deserve no compensation. Around 300 were jailed on a charge that the Supreme Court ruled was illegally stacked up on them. What you suggest happens to these 300. The prosecutors prevailed upon the judges to impose maximum enhanced sentences stemming from that charge It was a loose interpretation of the law passed to prevent another Enron situation What you say? Regarding J6 ,why did J6 Committee destroy the evidence they collected.Why were they all pardoned. Who was the legal consultant to the J6 and what other lawfare had she been engaged in since 2016 after taking over from John Carlin. Just my advice, You better not comment on matters where you have not heard the other side . |
While you selectively chose to die on this hill ,your favourite Non profits ACLU and Planned Parenthood have opposed explicit bans on 18 year olds marriages. American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has actively opposed absolute bans on child marriage, most notably during legislative battles in California. Their opposition surprised many advocates, but it stems from specific civil liberties philosophies regarding individual autonomy and the unintended consequences of broad bans. Their primary arguments against an absolute ban include: 1. Intrusion on the Fundamental Right to Marry The ACLU views marriage as a core, fundamental right protected by the U.S. Constitution. The Argument: In official opposition letters to lawmakers, the ACLU argued that a flat 100% prohibition "unnecessarily and unduly intrudes on the fundamental rights of marriage without sufficient cause." Individual Capacity: The organization asserted that a blanket ban assumes no minor is capable of making this choice. They stated that they "believe that some youth can appropriately make this decision for themselves." 2. Protecting the Rights of Consensual Teen Relationships The ACLU, along with other youth advocacy groups like the Children's Law Center, expressed concern that strict age limits could penalize or restrict the lives of young people who are in genuinely consensual, healthy relationships. They noted that for some older minors (such as 17-year-olds), marriage is based on "positive, pro-social factors" that further their personal, long-term life goals. 3. Concerns Over Reproductive Freedom Precedents When the ACLU opposed California's 2017 ban, they were joined by Planned Parenthood. The Precedent Fear: Reproductive rights groups worried that creating an unyielding legal standard stating "anyone under 18 lacks the maturity or capacity to consent to marriage" could be weaponized by conservative lawmakers in future legal battles. The Risk: Opponents feared the logic of a hard age restriction could be used to roll back a minor's right to independently consent to other major life decisions, such as accessing abortion care, birth control, or reproductive healthcare without parental or judicial consent. 4. Preference for Safeguards Over Flat Bans Rather than an absolute ban, the ACLU has historically advocated for increased judicial screening and strict statutory safeguards. Instead of a total criminal or civil ban, they supported laws that force courts to privately interview both parties, evaluate age gaps, and check for coercion, trafficking, or domestic abuse. They argued that existing laws requiring parental and judicial approval were sufficient if properly enforced. Only 17 states have voted to ban marriages before 18. So the Oklahoma Republicans were simply voting to keep the existing law in place which they deem to have enough safeguards. cococandy:By your reasoning ACLU and Planned Parenthood are full of paedophiles. Correct me on this . |
