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 . |
The insurrection was instigated by FBI . Get that through your head. Those jailed for merely exercising first amendment rights need compensation. They wanted Trump permanently to cover their crimes. You are a victim of the liberal lies. bayelsaowei: |
If you love your democrats that much advice them to stop targeting their opponents. In 2017 , IRS settled over 400 lawsuits after they were caught targeting Tea Party tax exempt organizations. ....whose tax-exempt status was significantly delayed by the IRS dating back to 2013, “based solely on their viewpoint or ideology.” https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-doj-settles-lawsuits-over-tea-party-targeting-by-obama-irs St Jesus of Chicago can do anything because he is black. This targeting of Trump and his supporters including manufacturing J6 would never happened if Obama didn't chose to target him before 2016 then organised the coup to remove him. Democrats suck big. bayelsaowei: |
Trump is dropping the suit because there is a racketeering investigation going on in Florida. The leak was part of a coordinated lawfare campaign against him. It shields IRS from the Florida investigation but doesn't shield the individuals responsible $1,776 B is symbolic IjeBos: |
GracieX3:People were protesting. FBI had hundreds of agents and informers in the crowd whose role has never been specified. |
IjeBos:There were black districts imposed by courts in Republican majority states.Yes or No? Supreme Court rejected using race as a criteria when redrawing congressional district maps. What's so hard to understand about that. |
Obrigardo.Take note. REPUBLICAN PAUL WYMER CRUSHES DEMOCRAT IN RIO RANCHO MAYORAL RACE — 63% TO 37% LANDSLIDE Republican Paul Wymer just delivered a massive victory in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, winning the mayoral runoff 63% to 37% over Democrat Alexandria Piland. “That’s a huge victory for Republicans in this city,” reported local news. Wymer highlighted his campaign focus: “We ran a positive campaign. We talked about the issues that matter to the people of Rio Rancho. We’re going to focus on public safety, we’re going to focus on economic development, and we’re going to make sure that we keep taxes low and keep our community the great place that it is.” Trump only carried Rio Rancho by 3 points. Wymer’s +23 point overperformance marks a bloodbath for Democrats in this key New Mexico city. This is another clear sign that voters are rejecting one-party Democrat rule and demanding results on safety, taxes, and growth. Though I think for a mayor the individual matters. |
bayelsaowei:Stephen DAntuono. Remember that name. Add this event too. Michael Fanone body cam footage. I'll revisit when I get more information. bayelsaowei:I mentioned Michael Fanone. The cop who testified how he was brutally assaulted by maga-mafians. They had refused to release to release his bodycam footage. Here it is. It appears he lied about the extent of the attack. https://vidmax.com/video/238089-new-bombshell-jan-6th-bodycam-footage-from-michael-fanone-has-been-released-and-it-seems-he-s-been-lying-about-a-lot-of-things More lies getting exposed bit by bit . I usually just don't stop names without some backup. |
DeepSight:Courts shouldn't order which race drawn map to use. Democrats after a census would challenge a redrawn map where they are a minority in the state. Then they would sue in a friendly judges court who would authorize their map . That has been corrected by the Supreme Court decision One day both parties will come up with a workable plan . As of now democrats are crying because the Republicans are set to gain upto 14 seats if they all redress the imbalances that exist. After 2030 census , projections are that republicans could pick up another 6-8 seats . Voters have moved from democrat states to tax and business friendly republican states |
The creation of congressional districts should not be based on race. Final ruling. Democrats have abused that. Courts have imposed districts where democrats are likely to win. Obama won some white solid republican states like Indiana or Ohio and retained others. An election win should be based on policy or substance not just race. DeepSight: |
Bemeruca and raumdeuter. Better watch this. Leyan Fullham , earns $80 Grand a year protesting on behalf of the Chinese Singham and George Soros networks. Natie Friedman exposes them loading up tens of pro Iran signs from their office and follows them to the protest . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qm2rJfIzEH0?si=r3bTRctAJuuxtluS6 How are these cretins allowed to teach Marxism. |
A lot of people don't see it this way. When democrats carve out a black district ,they are in effect segregating. They get their black safe districts. The suburbs get their Republican safe districts too. So in effect they are creating separate black and mostly white enclaves . A A black house rep knows he only needs to win the primary to retain his seat.Ditto the Republican. An example. Spreading Democratic voters thinly across multiple districts to maximize Republican seats, a Democratic surge in a midterm year could actually make up to three separate South Carolina districts highly competitive for Democrats tctrills: |
A Cuban gives her take on Communism. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1CUpZC1G3V/ Do you have an opinion on the job that Trump is doing so far? Sure. I think he's doing great. What is he doing great right now? Everything. Because I came from a communist country, and this country's becoming communist. Which country did you come from? Cuba. You're from Cuba. Yeah. So what would you say to all the democratic socialists that think that socialism is the answer? Well... Don't get her started. Don't get me started. Go off, queen. Go off, queen. I think you need to wake up and realize what's really going to happen when you have no food, no medical, nothing. Because they take it all away from you. Oh, and by the way, you happy little darlings, your children don't belong to you either. They'll belong to the government. So that's what America has to look forward to?. Oh, yeah. If they keep going down this path. Oh, yes. And do you believe that Trump is trying to stop it from happening? Of course. But they're trying to stop Trump. And let me put it this way. When you speak the truth, people will stop you. And there was one person that walked around this earth speaking the truth, and he got crucified. And that was? Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ. I'm not saying Trump is Jesus, but I'm just saying it's the same old pattern. |
ijebosb:I think he doesn't want to be AG because Senate will ask him not to pursue the elections. Remember this name. Harrison Deal . Let him RIP. I hope he doesn't come up in the investigations. |
Hello . Joe Biden was the most corrupt administration in history of America. That's an undisputable fact. cococandy: |
DeepSight:I trust you know better than the US AG . |
cococandy:The west was founded on Judeo Xtianity values. Actions condemned by the bible are largely against the law.lbgtq for instance is condemned , under pressure churches have been forced to officiate same sex marriages by the left You are more likely to find paedophiles among liberals than conservatives. Both sides have their own lists of convicts, the side with the loudest megaphone is the left. The left perpetuates ,celebrates and normalizes violence against the right . Africans are inherently conservative despite being influenced by the west. I wrote all that and realized I said nothing. I'm sleeping early today. It's 8.46 wherever I am. |
Tell me the acting AG is spreading conspiracy theories. The reckoning is coming one way or another.
Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh 🚨 HOLY SMOKES. AG Todd Blanche just dropped a bombshell, confirming the DOJ has MULTIPLE active 2020 election fraud investigations in Georgia and Arizona "We're very focused on finding out whether the right people voted, whether people that were supposed to vote voted, whether there was one vote cast per voter!" "There's a ton of evidence that the election was rigged. That's not something the DOJ needs to tell you about. There's been evidence about that for many, many years!" "That's what we're doing in multiple states. You'll say to me, how long has it taken? Why has it taken so long? The reality of the answer is because it takes a lot of work to uncover what happened in 2020." "It takes a lot of old, good old fashioned law enforcement police work, which is what we're doing." "We have great prosecutors working on it as well. I assure you, I assure the American people that as soon as we have something to say for it, whether it's charges, whether it's a report, whether it's a result of an investigation, the American people will learn about what we uncovered Lordreed. |
DeepSight:It's good going on an academic journey on the disadvantage Africa within the tropics had when it came to development. That's in the past ,those factors have been sorted out. Israel has no oil ,their deserts bloom,they have more companiea on Nasdaq than the rest of the world after America and China. |

DeepSight:You are not wrong at all with your anthology. Why are we still lagging when there are enough blueprints to move us forward. The wheel was already invented. Include African Americans too.
|
Deepsight. We don't really need history to know why Africa lags behind. We know how the Asian tigers built theirs. We know how the Europeans and Americand built theirs. Do we need to go to their starting point.No we don't. They had plans that they implemented. We have amazing plans also. Short term, intermediate and long term . I kinda feel you are still blaming others for our sorry state. We are our own enemies, simple . Let the causes of why we remain (ed) stagnant be studied by historians as we stride ahead to an $11 trillion economy by 2050. |
Two charged with murder of an unborn baby. https://borderhawk.news/two-illegals-charged-with-murdering-unborn-baby-in-texas-shooting/ One of the victims was a 17-year-old girl who was pregnant. She was taken to the hospital. Doctors performed an emergency C-Section, but were not able to save the baby. Calero-Jiron has nine charges against him. They include capital murder, numerous felony aggravated assault charges, and firearms and drug charges. Someone here should quickly rush there and correct the charge sheet to read unmitigated and unplanned death of the unborn foetus. You know yourself . Don't have to mention you. |
Climate Change. I've been calling it a hoax and a scheme by the liberals to siphon money while micromanaging every aspect of the society. A scheme to bankrupt the world leaving the civilian population dependent on the all powerful government. Elites have been quoted declaring that "we know best". In a framework published in the journal Geoscientific Model Development for the upcoming Seventh Assessment Report (AR7), international climate modelers formally classified RCP 8.5 and its updated equivalent, SSP5-8.5, as "implausible". ** Some time ago our efforts to get a big tech setup a data centre in Nigeria relying fully on its own power plant failed. EU would fine the company for using fossil fuels. It's😀 ridiculous to say the least.**

Deepsight. Does this sound like someone who wants to suspend the constitution. Begging Senator Thune to pass a bill that already cleared the house several months ago. No Kings protest were all about stopping this dictator.

Aimee Bock. The white woman who masterminded the Minnesota fraud says Nur Elmi Ilhan Omar knew https://nypost.com/2026/05/16/us-news/minnesota-rep-ilhan-omar-knew-about-250m-covid-meal-fraud-mastermind/ Bock talked to the Post by video call this week while awaiting sentencing and claims: 🔺️There were gaps when waivers expired mid-month and renewals lagged, that's when Omar stepped in to keep the cash flowing. 🔺️Omar “would personally step in whenever waivers ran out, allowing the rampant fraud to continue.” 🔺️“A lot of the sites were working directly with her, being that a lot of the operators were from the same Somali community,” 🔺️“There were a lot of people that had been reaching out to her office and staff, and I presume her personally, to work through some of those gaps with the waivers.” 🔺️Omar introduced the MEALS Act in March 2020. It let restaurants join the program without site inspections and shifted to self-reported data, slashing oversight. 🔺️ The Minnesota House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee’s final report explicitly states Omar “played a critical role in creating the conditions for fraud” by pushing those changes. 🔺️In May 2020, Omar filmed a promotional video at Safari Restaurant, the No. 1 fraud site, praising it for serving 2,300 meals daily to kids and families. 🔺️Safari later claimed 5,000 meals a day and raked in over $12 million before collapsing. 🔺️Omar held her 2018 election night party at Safari. 🔺️Court exhibits from Bock’s 2025 federal trial list Omar’s name at least six times in emails and texts between Feeding Our Future and her office about waiver help. 🔺️In 2021, Bock emailed the Minnesota Department of Education flagging suspicious sites like House of Refuge. 🔺️The department replied it “takes no position if fraud has taken place.” 🔺️ “I have the emails that show that I told you, so you knew,” and “I struggle to believe that we notified them and they didn’t alert the governor, or our state or federal officials.” 🔺️Omar is being protected by democrats who voted against issuing a subpoena for her records tied to the fraud - after Omar refused to go to a hearing on the matter. |
