This admin keeps doing phenomenally stupid things


Why go after Don Lemon, knowing how much the narrative is turning against you? Especially after a judge had rejected this and another said there was no evidence he was committing a crime?

You're just amplifying another martyred voice.


Na wa o 😩
Don Lemon attacked a church,he knew what the plan was.
Don't forget he mocked Christians by doing a church wedding with his fellow man. He kept his three dogs outside the church lest they pee on the carpet , then carried them down the steps immediately after saying " I do". They are planning to raise a family

The Appeals Court disagreed with magistrate who refused to sign Don Lemon arrested warrant.

🚨 “PROBABLE CAUSE ESTABLISHED”: Appeals Court Judge Rebukes Refusal to Sign Don Lemon’s Arrest Warrant 🚨

The legal battle over the St. Paul church storming has reached a critical turning point. A newly unsealed judgment from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit reveals that while the court declined to force the immediate signing of the warrants, the original magistrate’s decision to block Don Lemon’s arrest was fundamentally flawed.

While Magistrate Judge Douglas Micko originally refused to sign the arrest warrant for Don Lemon citing a "lack of probable cause," the Eighth Circuit's concurring opinion told a different story.

Circuit Judge L. Steven Grasz explicitly stated in his concurring judgment that the DOJ’s complaint and affidavit "clearly establish probable cause for all five arrest warrants," including Lemon’s.

The ruling clarifies that once probable cause is established, a judge has "no discretion to refuse to issue an arrest warrant."

This finding confirms that Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Justice Department acted within the law and presented a valid case, contrary to claims that the effort was a "political stunt."

Why the Appeals Court Declined 🏛️🚫

The court ultimately denied the emergency petition for a "writ of mandamus" because the government failed to prove it had "no other adequate means" of obtaining the relief.

The judgment suggests that the DOJ should follow standard procedure—either by resubmitting an improved affidavit to a different judge or by seeking a grand jury indictment—rather than asking an appeals court to intervene in an "unprecedented" emergency fashion.

Chief Judge Patrick Schiltz argued that despite the DOJ's national security concerns about "copycat raiders," there was "absolutely no emergency" that justified bypassing standard judicial review.

For the Trump administration, this is a major moral victory. The Eighth Circuit has confirmed that the evidence against Don Lemon did meet the legal standard for arrest from day one. While a "corrupt" or biased lower court process may have temporarily shielded Lemon from a warrant, the higher court’s acknowledgement of probable cause proves the DOJ’s investigation is grounded in fact.



Don Lemon knew what the group was planning .

🚨 “I CAN’T TELL YOU WHERE”: Footage Reveals Don Lemon Admitted Intent Prior to Minnesota Church Incident 🚨

A critical piece of evidence has surfaced in the federal case against former CNN anchor Don Lemon. Newly scrutinized video from January 18 shows Lemon filming a "pre-meeting" with activists in a parking lot, where he explicitly describes an upcoming, clandestine "Operation Pull-Up". Despite his claims of being there solely as a journalist, the footage captures him calling the event a "surprise operation" that he had done "reconnaissance" for upon arriving in Minneapolis.

On camera, Lemon told his viewers he was following "resistance protesters" on a secret mission. “I can't tell you exactly what they're doing... after we do this operation, you'll see it live,” he stated.

Lemon admitted to arriving in the city and immediately performing reconnaissance to link up with the organization "gearing up for resistance".

Federal prosecutors argue this footage proves Lemon was an "embedded part of a criminal conspiracy" rather than a neutral observer.

The Federal Reckoning ⚖️🏛️

Following his arrest in Los Angeles, Lemon has been officially charged with conspiracy to deprive others of their civil rights and violating the FACE Act by allegedly interfering with the exercise of religious rights.

While a magistrate initially rejected a warrant for Lemon, the DOJ successfully empaneled a grand jury that indicted him Thursday evening.

The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals recently noted that once probable cause is established—as they found it was in Lemon's case—a judge has "no discretion" to refuse an arrest warrant.

Don Lemon claimed he was "committing journalism," but federal agents say his own footage shows he was committing a crime. By admitting on video that he was part of a "surprise" operation to "catch people off guard," he may have handed the DOJ the very evidence needed to secure a conviction.

He ordered the Intelligence Community to cheat the world Putin helped Trump despite CIA having evidence that Putin wasnt favouring anyone. He deported millions earning him deporter in chief medal ,56 aliens died in ICE custody with nary a whimper of protest. He invented immigration cages then Democrats lied it was Trump .He blew up American citizens in countries America wasn't at war with.No protests.

Good Luck to Nigerians.
Another brainwashed has been fired and her medical licence suspended in Florida .She made a vile statement about WH Spox , Leavitt who is pregnant
Alexis Lawler, who was recently fired from Baptist Health Boca Raton Regional Hospital, is now using the chaos in Minnesota to shield herself from accountability. She dismissed the outrage over her own words as people "coming after her for bad language," completely ignoring the reality that she wished permanent bodily harm on a patient.

Her original comments were nothing short of demonic. As a medical professional, she stated it gave her "great joy" to wish a "fourth-degree tear" on Leavitt, hoping she would "never shit normally again." This is the person who was trusted with the lives of mothers and newborns.

Lawler’s claim that she is "on the right side of this" suggests she believes her political hatred justifies violating the most basic ethical standards of the medical field. She continues to use profanity-laced tirades to defend a position that most sane Americans find predatory and unhinged.


The hatred is mainly fueled by the media.

Anti-ICE protests continue in Minnesota over illegal migrant criminals being detained and deported.
Those protests often turn into riots - intensified by the deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good - two armed agitators who were k*lled by federal agents.

(Pretti had a 9mm, while Good allegedly used her SUV as a weapon when she allegedly tried to run over an agent)

However, many are pointing out that there were no protests, no riots and no democrat press conferences when young American citizens were killed at the hands of illegal migrants.

The Commie mayor of New York has determined the city is on a financial crisis worse than 2008. Solution..increase taxes in the rich and profitable companies.

🚨 BREAKING: Mayor Mamdani Warns of Great Recession Scale Economic Collapse in NYC 🚨

New York City is bracing for a financial earthquake. Mayor Zohran Mamdani has officially declared that the city is facing a fiscal crisis "greater than the Great Recession," signaling a radical shift in the city's economic policy. 🏛️🏙️📉

Mayor Mamdani stated bluntly that NYC is entering a fiscal emergency at a scale not seen since 2008, requiring "every single avenue" to address the shortfall.

The Mayor’s primary solution is a massive tax hike, specifically "raising taxes on the wealthiest New Yorkers and the most profitable corporations."

Mamdani also called for "recalibrating the relationship with the state" to secure more funding for the city's failing budget.

Critics are labeling the plan as "classic commie math"—taxing the very producers who fuel the economy until they flee the city, leaving the remaining taxpayers to foot the bill.

Many warn that Mamdani’s approach is a "ride to bankruptcy," as the city’s wealthiest residents and companies have already begun looking for the exit.

This fiscal collapse follows the pattern of "professionalized" radicalism seen in cities like Minneapolis, where radical leaders use social and financial crises to push anti-capitalist agendas.

Supporters of the administration are already warning New Yorkers to "demand receipts" when Mamdani inevitably tries to blame the President for the city's self-inflicted financial wounds.

While Mamdani pushes for higher taxes, the federal mandate remains focused on economic growth, which currently sits at 5.5%—a reality that contrasts sharply with NYC's "Great Recession" narrative.


Common sense, voters get the leaders they deserve.

There was fraud in Georgia. A state body withheld exculpatory evidence as Trump witch-hunt expanded. Logically, no judge should have allowed any case arising out of 2020 elections fraud without ordering the prosecutor to first prove beyond reasonable doubt that Trump and his co-accused had no grounds to reject the results.
As it happened, they all conspired to take him down,from judges,to prosecutors to Republicans to Democrats to media to bloggers .....

While US debt load is worrying, bear in mind that ALMOST ALL developed countries are in a debt crisis. It's a global phenomenon created by FIAT MONEY. France, UK, Canada, China, Japan, Nigeria, Argentina, they're all in debt. Even Saudi Arabia's finances aren't looking too good. Right now, at this moment, the developed country most at risk for default is FRANCE. As of 2023 Nigeria, the land of Melanin Magical Intellect, was spending 90% of government revenue on INTEREST PAYMENTS, very likely that it's still using over 75% today

1) I suspect ...it's likely....USA debt will be monetized away, as in there will be measures taken to gradually reduce the value of the debt by printing more dollars, or put another way, the debt will be paid by printing more money. This is what should have been done during Covid, instead liberals and progressives insisted on giving the money away to all and sundry.

2) The money can be paid down or reduced if the USA continues to generate strong economic growth AND reduces government spending, especially non-productive entitlement spending. That's why it's important to EDUCATE the people so they select conservatives or libertarians who believe in small government.

* New technologies like robotics, autonomous transport vehicles, quantum & bio computers, cryptocurrencies will generate new wealth for all countries.

* New sources of energy are on the way. There will be VASTLY CHEAPER energy available in the next 2 or 3 generations, maybe a decade.

* Space exploration is a wildcard, who knows what will be found out there by the White Man & Yellow Man. A few decades from now Black Africans will be begging for visa to Mars and the moon.

* USA can conquer and loot other countries like say Venezuela and Nigeria.

3) Crypto-currencies and precious metal as money will play some role in resolving the WORLDWIDE debt crisis. The USA is already in the lead in this effort.... it's as important to the survival of the Republic as the Slavery Question and also the ideological contest against the Soviet Union or Communism in general.

Even as they enjoy the benefits of free market capitalism, political liberals, progressives and socialists are always hoping and working for the destruction of the Anglo-Saxons. They should worry more about Black African countries that can't keep their electricity grids on for a full month without it crashing, where major cities have 7% potable water access and life expectancy is less than 60, where people lose their lives for voting in elections and corruption is an accepted part of public culture.

Good Luck to Nigeria.
US Debt. Is a crisis exacerbated by Democrat policies. One of the biggest is Obamacare designed to increase govt spending every year. Another is their vote buying socialist expenditures. Jerome Powell adds to debt by maintaining high fed rates,the converse is unknown but at 0% level annual interest payment of $970 billion would reduce.

Energy costs.A primary driver of demand is the power hungry Nvidia chips used to train LLMs by big tech. They are now installing their own power generation units,as opposed to getting it from the grid. Who increase domestic consumer prices.A 500MW data centre uses that almost 24 hours unlike normal usage which peaks when everyone is cooking for example but goes down after midnight. Big tech is repurposing nuclear plants closed by democrats under the excuses of global warming and any other excuse they use to send manufacturing to China.

Space will be beneficial if they can use satellites to process big data . Should be insignificant,the ISS only generates about 215KW, while tier 3 data centres need 500 -1000MW.

In short liberal policies are designed to reduce the wealth of the west. I won't mention their freebies to immigrants for now.

Coworker gets ripped off . By China.
The phone network shows 5G connected.
Can't create user account , the browser cant verify whether one is a robot.

Grok summary of this phone.

Key red flags (all major inconsistencies):
Reports Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 but with 10 CPU cores — real Snapdragon 888 has exactly 8 cores (1× Cortex-X1 + 3× A78 + 4× A55), confirmed across official Qualcomm specs, benchmarks, and every legitimate device using it.
Baseband version (MOLY.WR8.W1315...) is an old MediaTek modem string (from ~2013–2015 era, used in cheap MT65xx chips like MT6582/MT6592). Genuine Snapdragon 888 phones use Qualcomm's X60 modem with different naming—no "MOLY" prefix.
Kernel version 3.10.65 is extremely outdated (~2014–2015), common in low-end or fake phones. Real Snapdragon 888 devices use much newer kernels (typically 4.x or 5.x series), even on Android 13 updates.
Build number (Y93E1_DX_N89_WELCOME_FWA_ER281_M01) doesn't match any known real phone model from major brands—likely from a cheap Chinese clone/fake firmware.
Android 13 on such an ancient kernel + mismatched hardware + old 2024-01-01 security patch is impossible for a legitimate high-end device.

This is a classic fake: cheap (likely MediaTek-based) hardware spoofing flagship specs in settings to deceive buyers

Data centres esp AI typically use constant power 24/7 .

Good news. Nigeria peak power demand is estimated to be over 20 - 120 GW. Everything above what the grid supplies is from generators and other sources.
In other words,there is 10 times demand for power than can be supplied from the grid.
