Sounds like you are projecting
We know what happens. Some go to Africa, burn through $3000 on credit card in December, then spend the next 6 months repaying.
In December they are back again , same playbook , repay credit next 6 months.

SCOTT BESSENT DROPS BOMB ON NGOS FUNDING ANTIFA — IRS WILL HOLD THEM LIABLE FOR VIOLENCE

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just put radical nonprofits and their big-money donors on notice.

"The IRS is now giving guidance on the Form 990, which nonprofits have to file," Bessent said. "We are going to demand that nonprofits know their grant recipients."

He continued: "So if a grant recipient is violent, if they are suppressing people's rights, then YOU are responsible for that."

On the ongoing probe into Antifa funding: "We made substantial progress. And I think in the weeks and months ahead, we are going to have a lot to report."

George Soros and the network of NGOs bankrolling riots and chaos just got a very clear message. The days of funneling money to violent groups with zero accountability are over.

Height of stupidity blowing $3000 dollars to flex ,then spending the next 5 months to repay the credit.

Our DSA is negotiated by the internal auditors and finance guys who like travelling to duty stations to " scrutinize every receipt " at $190 .
3 guys will get a posh 3-4 bedroom Airbnb at $150 a night and by the end of the week they each have extra $500 at least not counting their salary.

Couch surfing indeed.
This was for 7 days of my trip.

Now, since you care,
I have a boy (practically family) with an amazing fully furnished guest house on Banana.
I own 2 penthouses in Lekki Phase 1 which I just finished.
My girl has a really nice apartment with security.
My dad has a house in Lagos.

Yet I chose to stay at the Intercontinental. Why, because I wanted to because I like my own space and wanted to be in that area. And guess what, I can.

Put the receipt through AI and see what you get.

Anthony Edwards Pays $12,500 Monthly In Child Support While Making $3.3 Million A Month: She Makes $1,016 And Is Still In Court

Anthony Edwards earns $3,364,911 per month, and Alexandria Desroches earns $1,016 per month.

He is paying her $12,500 monthly in child support, and she is still in court.

Let's do the maths that nobody in the child support conversation wants to do publicly.

$12,500 per month is $150,000 per year, going directly to this woman for one child, that is not a small number, and not an absent father's contribution; that is more than most Americans earn in an entire year

For context, $12,500 a month is approximately 12 times her monthly income; she would need to work an entire year to match what he sends in one month for their child.

And she is in court trying to get more.

At what point does child support become less about the child and more about bridging the income gap between two adults who made a mutual decision to have a child together?

A child's needs are real, all of it costs money, and both parents are responsible for contributing proportionally to their means; that principle is not in dispute.

But $12,500 a month funds significantly more than a child's basic needs; it funds a lifestyle, and the lifestyle being funded belongs to the custodial parent, not exclusively to the child, because money does not arrive in a separate account accessible only for child-specific expenditures.

The child support system was designed to protect children, but in practice, it often functions as an income transfer between adults, with the child as the legal mechanism.


Me being a typical African man would directly pay the rent, school fees , transport and shopping if the child wasn't planned for.
It's a hard swallow if she has a guy who spends the whole day in the house on playstation on my dime.

I am virulently opposed to trans.
The article was about putting a trans in a female prison.

Accepting the insanity that a man with a pe.nis can be a woman.
That a man can have a uterus
That gender is assigned at birth.
That a woman doesn't need to have a vagina to be one
That a surgical operation can create a vagina.

There is nothing wrong, so why isn't he saying it and remaining a vegan? Instead he is posting himself eating meat the wrong way.

Texas has many cultures and being a vegan is not part of it.

You can bet all thise cases ,the Alvin Bragg,Fani Willis,E Jean Carroll will be thrown out by the Supreme Court.You can take that to the bank. .Partisan Appeals court are happy to let the farcical rulings remain in force.

You’re correct. I have detested Trump from time immemorial because he has always been an immoral human being.

I didn’t have to wait for him to be convicted to detest him. I don’t support men who disrespect women, or men who are sex predators. So from the past and into the future I can’t associate myself with someone like Trump.

The courts only did a good job by showing the world the vile human being that he is.

_Direct Phone Warnings: Sending millions of automated phone calls and texts advising civilians to evacuate zones.
_Grid Mapping System: Publishing detailed block-by-block maps indicating active combat sectors and safe evacuation routes.
_Embedded Legal Advisors: Stationing military lawyers in targeting rooms to review the legality of every strike.
_Airborne Surveillance Interruption: Aborting scheduled airstrikes at the last second if civilians suddenly enter the target zone.
_Arabic Leaflet Drops: Dropping physical leaflets over dense urban areas detailing specific paths to safer zones.
_Purity of Arms Code: Training soldiers strictly under an ethical code mandating humanity during combat operations.

IDF fights by the rules? The prisoners that were arrested without any trial or day in court? People in detention for many years for no reason and just released?

The international medics and journalists killed? Is that by the rules.

Just for your information, IDF soldiers have not been punished for the prisoner rape.....the rapes were so common it was believed it was supported by the higher ups.

You just love racists. You love Israeli apartheid....you might even would have loved south African apartheid if you were there....
IDF fights by the rules. Those savages literally tore up somebody with bare hands then proudly waved their bloodstained hands for photo shoots.
Every case is investigated ,many soldiers and police have been jailed .
With Palestinian any evil they can exact on any Israel is appreciated and rewarded.

If you love them so much, sell all your belongings and send them the money to buy more bombs.

Better yet, gather all your relatives and community people and convince them to sell everything they have. To sabotage any chance they have of their kids getting ahead in life and send the money to Isreal . Prove your love! No be by mouth and jobless rambling on NL.

You guys love Israel so much but only by mouth. And have the nerve to tell me how to feel. On top of my tens of thousands of dollars I’m paying in taxes so they can buy more bombs and send their children to affordable college and get free healthcare that our kids don’t have.

New Yorkers Revolt: Massive Crowds March to Deport Radical Mayor Zohran Mamdani

New York City is fed up. In a powerful show of resistance, thousands of fed-up residents took to the streets Tuesday night in a massive anti-Mamdani protest, marching through the city and chanting “Deport Mamdani” outside Gracie Mansion.

This wasn’t some fringe gathering. It was ordinary New Yorkers rising up against a socialist mayor whose soft-on-crime, pro-Palestinian activism has fueled skyrocketing antisemitism, unchecked migrant chaos, and a radical agenda that’s turning the greatest city in the world into a failing experiment in woke governance.

Since taking office in January 2026 as the DSA-backed first Muslim mayor, Mamdani has prioritized everything but public safety and American values. Jewish New Yorkers live in fear as hate crimes surge, while he defends protest “rights” even amid violence and fails to crack down on the pro-Hamas radicals tearing the city apart.

Google Gemini Continues
Why the Media Dropped It
Reporters from major investigative outlets—including The Guardian, Vox, and Politico—originally looked into the filings but chose not to run with the story as a verified fact because Norm Lubow was a former producer for The Jerry Springer Show.


Once this link was discovered, mainstream media institutions backed away due to severe journalistic credibility issues:
Pay-for-Play Red Flags: Journalists discovered that Lubow was actively trying to sell a video interview of "Katie Johnson" to tabloid and mainstream news stations for $1 million. Standard journalistic ethics strictly forbid paying sources for stories, especially in criminal or civil allegations.

Fabrication Concerns: Because The Jerry Springer Show was notorious for orchestrated, sensationalized, and dramatized conflicts, the media feared the lawsuit was a political "tabloid stunt" manufactured to impact the 2016 election rather than a verified legal grievance.

Impersonation:
Reporters vetting the case noted that Lubow was caught sending text messages and emails to journalists while pretending to be Katie Johnson herself.

Unverifiable Basics: Journalists could not verify the core components of the initial filings. The California court documents listed a foreclosed, abandoned house as Johnson's address, and the phone number provided was disconnected.

Summary
Because mainstream media outlets could not independently verify the plaintiff’s identity, locate her without Lubow acting as a gatekeeper, or separate the horrific nature of the claims from a producer known for staging tabloid media, the story was deemed too high-risk to run under standard editorial verification rules.


Methinks the FBI latched onto the story to have it on record . When media reports the FBI is investigating, it sort of gives it a legitimacy, that there was reasonable suspicion. To further fuel those suspicions, a corrupt FBI is now said to have interviewed her more than once.

obrigardo, cococandy, bayelsaowei My juicy story relating to Jerry Springer.I knew you won't respond because Jerry Springer show is just tabloid .


Allegations Trump raped a 13 year old with Epstein.
From Google Gemini.

The Rundown of the 2016 Filings
The legal battle consisted of three attempts to bring the case to court in 2016:
1.
April 2016 (California):
Filing under the name "Katie Johnson," the plaintiff filed a pro se (acting without an attorney) civil rights lawsuit against Trump and Epstein in a California federal court. She alleged she was trafficked by Epstein in 1994 at age 13 and sexually assaulted by Trump. A federal judge dismissed the case in May 2016 because it failed to state an applicable federal civil rights claim.
2.
June 2016 (New York):
Refiled as "Jane Doe" in New York federal court with the help of a lawyer. The suit added specific counts of battery, false imprisonment, and sexual abuse. It was voluntarily dismissed in September after procedural issues.
3.
October–November 2016 (New York):
The suit was refiled once more by attorney Lisa Bloom. A public press conference was scheduled for November 2, 2016, where the plaintiff intended to reveal her true identity. However, the press conference was abruptly canceled. On November 4, 2016—just days before the presidential election—the lawsuit was formally and voluntarily dropped by her legal team, citing severe death threats and fear for the plaintiff's safety.

Who Peddled the Story?
The primary force driving the story to reporters and organizing the litigation was a man named Norm Lubow.

The Persona: Lubow operated under various pseudonyms, including "Al Taylor".

The Motive: Investigative reporting by media outlets like The Guardian revealed that Lubow was a hyper-partisan, eccentric anti-Trump campaigner.
The History: Lubow had a long track record of promoting outlandish, unverified celebrity conspiracy theories. He had previously shopped debunked tabloid stories, including claims that O.J. Simpson bought drugs on the day of his wife's murder and that Courtney Love had Kurt Cobain killed.

She filed her suit the very day the new law went into effect. Nov 24, 2022.

@overton_news
Dan Bongino breaks down why the Democrats’ desperate attempt to sound relatable by dropping F-bombs is doomed to fail.

Bongino exposed how all that is left of the core party is just two tiny groups.

BONGINO: “It’s clearly calculated because the Democrats have lost the middle class.”

“There are only two groups of people who are Democrats now. Only two.”

“There are the super rich Karens, who can be whatever they want, because it doesn’t matter, so they can live in the world of ideas...”

“And there is unfortunately really poor folks who have been given money by the Democrats, taking money from the super rich to pay them off.”

“They have lost the middle class completely.”

“So they think if they go out and do the Ruben Gallego and drop a few F bombs inauthentically, then all of a sudden a bunch of working class coal miners from West Virginia are going to clamor to vote Democrat again.”

“I don’t think it’s going work. I think it’s a really poor strategy.”

The Democrats have completely lost the middle class.
