While celebrating Newsom , some huge matter has been overshadowed.

Uttar Pradesh state in has declared COVID-19 free in most districts. Only 12 new cases reported in 24 hours.UP has 241m people.
In April at the peak they had weekly averages of 34k daily new cases. Yesterday they had only 12 cases.
In April they had daily deaths (weekly average} of over 300. Their daily weekly averaged deaths as of yesterday was 3.

How did they manage to achieve this?

Taliban needs more money from Biden. The guy is hilarious.
Amir Khan Mutaqi, the foreign minister in Afghanistan’s new Taliban-run Cabinet, asked Washington to show appreciation for the militant group allowing the US to complete its massive evacuation effort. “America is a big country, they need to have a big heart,” he said at a press conference.

Mumu, big tech is the main area where USA leads the world right now. Cultists phobia of big tech for censoring their lies - way to go to hand over dominance to China.

The phobia is so real, you are even hating on Uber who have nothing to do with with why the cultists hate big Tech, which is censorship of lies and conspiracy theories
I'm in tech . There has been big progress from big tech. Lots of innovation and livelihoods lifted from poverty.
Strike on Uber by EU and then Netherlands I support as a general brush on big tech. I noted that Uber gets the cabbie driver a passenger. And the driver can refuse to offer the ride. I don't see how Uber can pay the drivers who would just switch on their gadgets and wait for the salaries. Will kill taxi hailing companies.

As for big tech ,the googles n FB they need to be reined in. So much lies are spread on the platforms. The truth is buried, people never get to see it. This became notably serious only about 10 or so years ago, before that the internet was a huge resource of any material. Today misinformation is censored when its really the truth And lies are promoted. So many examples abound.

Big tech has also swallowed and bought out competition. Zuckerberg literally took over Instagram because it was a threat to Facebook and made the founders richer.

Big tech gets hit hard.

Uber Technologies Inc. lost another suit over its drivers’ working rights after an Amsterdam court ruled workers who ferry passengers using the Uber app in the Netherlands are covered by a local collective labor law.

Uber drivers are employees, not contractors, says Dutch court.

Meaning they get pensions , paid leave and all other benefits.Backdated too.

Do I support this? Yes because its a smack to big tech, but technically Uber gets a cabbie driver the customer. The driver has the choice to accept, ignore or reject the passenger.

Big tech has made a lot of progress but are abusing their dominance. Alphabet,twitter,FB, IG are censoring and demonetizing many companies veering away from accepted leftist thoughts.

When will that be and by whom? Who will lay the cheating avenues bare and who can act on it? It certainly has to be an organ of government and not a private partisan organization. When all organs of government asserts that it was a free and fair election including the justice department. Who else can take action in election matters?

You need to get Trump to hire you as his lawyer, as all the other lawyers have not been able to lay cheating avenues bare and they are all facing professional misconduct charges. Maybe you can do a better job.

There is no if you believe Joe Biden won. It is a fact and not a belief that Biden won the elections. He was ratified by all relevant executive, legislative and judicial organs of the United States.
The ones that need to believe in a fairy tale or fantasy that Trump won the elections are Trump cult worshippers.
Ok thank you. Thou shalt be vindicated When the cheating avenues are laid bare, it shall be an uphill battle to cheat. Everyone wants most secure elections I presume.

California recall. Role of media

Larry Elder was in Venice Beach when a white woman wearing a gorilla mask with pink hair
threw the egg (she missed) and punched one of Elder's security staffers. This was a clear racist attack that shoulda drawn condemnation from the woke left.
Instead the LA times put it that Larry was involved in an altercation that LAPD was investigating and captioned a photo of him with his hand around a woman's face leading to an assumption that he is slapping a woman.

If this is not downright evil Asking for help.

What's wrong here.
Joe Biden is not wearing his mask, yet he issues mandates for COVID-19.

His hand is around the waist of the girl wearing the Trump hat if you look closely. Only creeps do that , We have seen this time and time again.

He probably does not realize the Trump hats, the American flags .

Somaliland shilling is different from Somali shilling.( Somaliland stopped using Somali shilling a long time ago)
You are correct. Its actually pegged at 8500 to the dollar..I mistook it for Somali shilling

lol

It is actually around 100-200k shillings. Also the size will be considerably less if you pick in 1000 shilling notes
I checked their exchange rate is 570/580 to the dollar.Their official rate and these cash hawkers are almost the same. Some people with dirty cash don't want the knowing glances when they use official means and prefer this open air market.
Somalis in general have an informal transfer of cash. Countries that have s limit of cash one can carry are shorted by their system.Deposit money at one somali run shop in whatever currency , go to say Dubai at a particular shop and collect your money in dollars.

Somaliland is not the same as Somalia in this context. They have formed their own Republic within the borders of Somalia although unrecognised and are peaceful in comparison to Somalia. They also have their own currency which they use wheelbarrows to transport. You can exchange $10 for a wheelbarrow full of Somaliland cash.
Somaliland is peaceful. At the same time it on good terms with countries that prosecute pirates and need jails .
Some countries have gone through worse inflation.
Zimbabwe changed their currency. They are on USD. Venezuelans are also using dollars and euros.
I don't see Naija going there. There is still legit money coming in from goods, services snd remittances.

Trump has been busy these days. He gave a recorded speech at the Moonies conference. A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything.

To those wondering who the Moonies are:

The beliefs of the Unification Church are based on Moon's book Divine Principle, which differs from the teachings of Nicene Christianity on its view of Jesus and its introduction of the concept of "indemnity".The movement is well known for its unique "Blessing" or mass wedding ceremonies. It also has unique funeral ceremonies for its members.

The Unification Church has attracted numerous controversies, and has been called a DANGEROUS CULT. Its beliefs have been criticized by both Jewish and Christian scholars.

From its beginning the Unification Church has identified as Christian and has tried to promote its teachings to mainstream Christian churches and organizations. The Unification Church in South Korea was labeled as heretical by Protestant churches in South Korea, including Moon's own Presbyterian Church. In the United States the church was rejected by ecumenical organizations as being non-Christian. The main objections against it were theological, especially because of the Unification Church's addition of material to the Bible and for its rejection of a literal Second Coming of Jesus.

What stupid witch hunt?

Even the Trump administration apologized after getting caught coupled with the outrage that followed from both the GQP, Dem and Americans.

But here on this thread, basiloco decides to jump into the burning flame just to defend the hateful ex-President.
Am I saying it was right of them to fo that? No. No indication that Trump was aware of it.The CNN article I quoted mentions funds had been withheld since 2004 , could you explain without referring to garbage left wing media?

The funds are to pay healthcare costs for the First Responders. If anyone was deniedi healthcare specifically because of this, it would be nice to let me know.

Ex special forces guy in image transitions into a woman 5 years ago.
Is now a MMA fighter competing against
real women. This guy ain't spots nothing feminine.
Easily won his bout bloodying his opponent.

Another trans Fallon Fox in MMA broke a facial bone of the female challenger, and knocked out another in 39 seconds.

A woman would fight a man ( and an ex special forces guy too ) in a game allowing blunt force. Is poverty the driver?

Evander Holyfield ,58 year old knocked out within 2 min by a 44 year exMMA fighter also tonight. Why would someone past his prime who has taken enough blows to his head all his working life agree to a contest with a relatively younger fighter with knockouts to his name?
Could be the cash raised in such bouts are indicators of the stronger dollar - N540.

Trump was not at the crash site because the assembled media did not see him for its very very important to note who was present.


Apart from the two towers, did any other building collapse? When a building crashes on others, What distance should observers be away from the crash site?

I have never seen anything like this in my whole life. Worshiping another human being like they live only for that purpose.

I don't know where you copied this story from, but the story is just a story, a third person narration. It looks like what someone would sit down in an office and imagine. No details, the narrator did not even reveal his identity. It's just like the person was following Trump and eavesdropping on every conversation and thoughts of Trump.



You give this as proof that Trump was at ground zero on the day of the attack, but in the next paragraph it said Trump was walking near ground zero.

In another paragraph it said Four blocks from the site, he did an interview with a news stations in Germany.

Now how was he at ground zero? Mind you his office at Trump Towers was only 4 miles away from The World Trade Center.
How far did you want him to be? 2 centimetres? And he should have been there within 5 minutes after the first plane crashed into the Northern tower?
