benalvino3:I love the resilience of Iranians. The mad Ayatollahs are as bad as Kim Jong Un. Khamanei is a divine ruler ,a state that most Iranians applauded when Khomeini returned from exile in France. Then he methodically proceeded to murder every opponent and change the Persian name to the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Persians still have that fight in their bones despite severe repression. I hope that mad Ayatollah flees to Russia yesterday. Iran would be a very rich country if they got rid of Sharia . Despite the repression,the female population makes upto 49% of university enrollment. I wish them well. I hope this time they prevail. With Trump threatening them ,I'm certain he will do like Israelis did. Bomb the Basij and IRGC headquarters , if they continue murdering their own citizens . |
raumdeuter:Since we are all moving to a stage where AI will be more clever than human,maybe we can have AI just predicting , analyzing ,mining and select the best candidate.Give AI tools the full datasets and it comes up with the next president. Hahaha |
IbeOkehie:Earned qualification to vote is a hard sell.Democrats want the most flawed process. I'll give an example. In a former workplace at an ISP ,we used to accept cash from clients. The Accounts receivables always had plenty of hard cash in their office. The bosses were happy because they would always get cash from the cashier and give a postdated cheque when they were broke. Employees would easily get cash from the office to be deducted from the salary whenever they needed it.All that stopped when clients had to deposit direct to bank or write checks No cash. The change wasn't pleasant at all,people now had to start learning how to manage their money. Democrats want as many loopholes as possible .They can slot in illegals with no voter ID, voter registration vouching, mail in ballots , ballot Drop boxes ,voting machines , DMV vote registration , vulnerable vote tallying machines. Anything that can be exploited. |
raumdeuter:There is a legal loophole used by countries to cap interest rates. Pass a law that interest rates should not exceed say 2% of the monthly moving inflation rates It's been done .by these countries South Africa France Morocco Nepal Bolivia Chile Paraguay Zambia (historically, repealed) Kenya (historically, repealed) Benin Burkina Faso Côte d'Ivoire Mali Niger Senegal Togo Cameroon Central African Republic Chad Republic of Congo Gabon Equatorial Guinea That's different from capping rents. Some countries also have a cap on the amount of interest one can pay back on a loan eg repayment should be no more than 100% of borrowed amounts. Budaatum take note before flapping your ignorance |

Konkoja:What's the madness. I'm providing evidence that the democrats have destroyed families . Not only black families but every one is not safe from the assaults waged by democrats.. you the one who needs to see a shrink not basilico. |
Interesting perspective. https://x.com/miles_commodore/status/2009688548866212005 Breakdown of the black family. The responses are eye opening. While the main tweet is about black family ,I've asked Grok to calculate how much benefits a single mother of 3 with zero income she would get equivalent to a full time working person wages. In 2026, a single mother of three (household of 4) with zero income is eligible for a combination of cash, food, housing, and healthcare assistance. The total value of these benefits, when converted to a gross hourly wage based on a standard 40-hour workweek (160 hours per month), represents the income she would need to earn to match the purchasing power of these tax-free government supports. California (CalWORKs and Medi-Cal) In California, the maximum monthly benefits include approximately $1,130 from CalWORKs, $994 from SNAP (CalFresh), and $150 from WIC. When adding the market value of Section 8 housing (approx. $3,500 for a 3-bedroom) and Medi-Cal health coverage (approx. $2,800), the total monthly value reaches approximately $8,574. The equivalent hourly wage is calculated as:\(\frac{\$8,574}{160}=\$53.59\)In high-cost urban areas, This equivalent pay can exceed $53.59 per hour. New York (TANF and Medicaid) New York provides approximately $952 in TANF cash assistance, $994 in SNAP, and $150 in WIC. Including the average market value for a 3-bedroom housing voucher (approx. $3,200) and Medicaid health insurance (approx. $2,700), the total estimated monthly benefit value is $7,996. The equivalent hourly wage is calculated as:\(\frac{\$7,996}{160}=\$49.98\) This results in an equivalent pay of approximately $49.98 per hour. Massachusetts (TAFDC and MassHealth) Massachusetts offers approximately $900 in TAFDC cash aid, $994 in SNAP, and $150 in WIC. Factoring in the high value of state housing vouchers (approx. $3,000) and MassHealth coverage (approx. $2,600), the total monthly value is approximately $7,644. The equivalent hourly wage is calculated as:\(\frac{\$7,644}{160}=\$47.78\) This results in an equivalent pay of approximately $47.78 per hour. Calculation Components The equivalent hourly rates above are based on the sum of direct cash/food aid and the market value of non-cash services. These figures represent gross (pre-tax) earnings, as government benefits are typically not subject to income tax. Actual values vary significantly by specific zip code and the availability of housing vouchers, which often have extensive waitlists. Why bother being married and working . This applies to all races not only blacks Sometimes I like thinking out of the box.

I like how many are happy with any Trump failure. DOGE was disbanded?

raumdeuter:Trust CNN. CNN International’s “The Brief,” CNN Senior Correspondent Campbell. "He puts himself in front of that vehicle, and I’ll tell you, law enforcement officers are trained, essentially, not to put yourself in that situation. That’s training that happens from coast to coast in this country. But the moment that she then turns the wheel and begins to drive forward, it appears, from other vantage points, that he was likely struck by that car, and so, under policy, an agent can articulate, I felt my life was in danger, I opened fire. But there are big questions based on the angle where he was, were there other options, could he have jumped out of the way? That’s a big question.” He added, “Every agent and officer in this country, when they open fire, they’re accountable for every single round, they have to know what’s beyond that target. We’re learning here, in this case, that the agent went to guns, opened fire, shooting towards the direction of those bystanders. Thankfully, no one else was hit They want blood on the streets. With that kind of questioning,the paid agitators will raise a stink Keith Ellison will also use the that to investigate, to divert from his criminal referral. Someone also wondered whether the agent should have been recording the confrontation using his now available footage of the encounter.

Raumdeuter benalvino3. You are free to protest and request credit card companies to increase your interests. This looks another ploy to get Democrats side with credit companies.Abracadabra.

[quote author=benalvino3 post=138081887]Politicians, send more Karens to go and lose their lives lets continue to use them to gaslight the country. have a feeling some "Karen" on this board who doubles up as a caregiver would be a full time protester if the pay was equivalent. It needs brainwashing to believe in whatever you are protesting about Also needs a special kind of stupid.She has them all |
raumdeuter:Democrats are just another kind of evil. They have pulled off hoaxes then destroyed those who protested the hoax. For instance they fired doctors who opposed the covax,they fired those who refused to get vaccinated .They created Russia hoax and went after every Trump supporter they could jail knowing they were the hoax creators. They impeached Trump over Ukraine knowing Joe Biden son was getting paid $83,333 per month by Burisma. He had requestes a foreign govt to investigate corruption and aid money. I could go on, they do this with a holier than thou attitude , lying with a straight face. The kind of shit that the devil himself would likely warn you to go slow about. |
[quote author=benalvino3 post=138080566] She actually hit him with her vehicle. Maybe it was a knee jerk reaction to suddenly accelerating , but she made contact .That's enough for the agent to have stopped her. I somehow dont think she really intended to run anyone over, her wife was filming. The wife got out 3 minutes earlier and started filming Bayelsaowei. The ICE agent was taken to a nearby hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries. What you think ? To your chagrin the injuries were not from his gun. |
IbeOkehie:If you compare to Biden admin ,by this time ,he had already declared Jan 6 an insurrection ,arrested several hundred protesters and was actively investigating Trump. Pam Bondi? |
The spontaneous protest over Reene Good are not organic.
their newspaper, "The Revolution," which said they promoted "the program of Marx, Lenin, and Trotsky." Spartacist League members from the U.S. chapter of the International Communist League – They distributed copies of "Workers Vanguard," which calls itself a "Marxist Newspaper" The socialist-adjacent groups joining them in using this moment to organize protests are: @IndivisibleTeam-- Closely aligned with the Democratic Party, it organized #HandsOff #NoKingsmarches all year and is now organizing protests nationwide. 50501 – It also organized #TeslaTakedown protests against Elon Musk and is throwing its muscle behind anti-ICE protests. @RefuseFascism– They moved through the crowd in NYC, handing out slick, freshly printed pamphlets titled "The People’s Indictment of Donald Trump. "Why does it matter to know these names? Stu Smith @thestustustudio, a @ManhattanInst researcher who studies domestic extremism, explained, "I just wish the average American realized that there is a network of far-left agitators in America who are Marxist-Leninists, socialists, Maoists, and even North Korean apologists.” "As these ideologues say, the issue is never the issue,” he told us. “It’s all about the revolution. After this terrible situation in Minneapolis, they used social media and their networks to mobilize and get on the streets to hurt America.” You’ve heard me say it before. Look at the evidence yourself. Read the signs shared by journalists like @MrAndyNgo. Follow the money with data scientists like @DataRepublican. Study the breadcrumbs. I’m honored to work with this team to bring our reporting from the streets back to you. |
benalvino3:In 2020 George Floyd riots Peloai quipped it was a Summer of Love. The scene is set. At the scene of the shooting,Rioters have barricaded it using everything. A repeat of the CHAZ of 2020. Democrats are pushing to defund the ICE in the upcoming CR. The democrats want an upsurge of violence. |
benalvino3:The irony of it all. Everyone knows where the problem is ,but it's a hate crime to pinpoint the source. |
IbeOkehie:This chart sums it up. Where is Pam Bondi?

So difficult living your life looking for which lies to believe. Reene Good was part of a neighborhood ICE watch,with her leading the charge. Videos posted here, yet someone has no shame saying she was turning her car around. She also hit the agent who shot her. JD Vance slammed the shameless media. "You people in the media have been LYING ABOUT THIS ATTACK. She was trying to RAM THIS GUY with her car! He shot back. He's already been serious injured before. "Everybody repeating the lie this is some innocent woman out for a drive in MN - YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU." "What that headline leaves out is the fact that that very ICE officer nearly had his life ENDED, DRAGGED by a car six months ago, 33 stitches in his leg, so you THINK maybe he's a little bit SENSTIVE about somebody ramming him with an automobile?!" "What that headline leaves out is that that woman was there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation in the United States of America." "What that headline leaves out is that that woman is part of a broader left-wing network to attack, to dox, to assault, and to make it impossible for our ICE officers to do their job." "If the media wants to tell the truth, they ought to tell the truth that a group of left-wing radicals have been working tirelessly, sometimes using domestic terror techniques, to try to make it impossible for the president of the United States to do what the American people elected him to do, which is enforce our immigration laws." "You people in the media have been LYING ABOUT THIS ATTACK. She was trying to RAM THIS GUY with her car! He shot back. He's already been seriously wounded before!" |
When is Tim Walz resigning. Gov. Tim Walz & AG Keith Ellison have been referred to the DOJ for criminal charges over the Somali migrant fraud in Minnesota Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison were referred after congressional testimony which revealed "deliberate inaction" and possible cover-ups during massive Somali migrant -led fraud schemes in which they stole upwards of $9 billion from American taxpayers. The House Oversight Committee hearing zeroed in on Minnesota's fraud under Walz's watch. Republican state lawmakers from Minnesota accused the Democratic duo of either gross incompetence or outright complicity in schemes that funneled taxpayer dollars into fake programs, benefiting Somali migrant networks with ties to overseas money laundering. Rep. James Comer said if Walz and Ellison refuse to testify, he will issue subpoenas. Highlights from the hearing: 🔹Governor Walz personally used accusations of "racist" and "Islamophobic" to intimidate state employees to keep quiet and suppress investigations into the fraud, effectively protecting the Somali migrant criminals and allowing the schemes to balloon for years. 🔹Attorney General Ellison was implicated in leaked audio recordings where he was heard telling Somali fraudsters that he would "cover up" ongoing investigations and promised protection in exchange for campaign donations and political support—he later accepted the donations 🔹Testimonies confirmed that Walz's administration ignored red flags from as early as 2018, including warnings from over 480 state workers who faced retaliation for reporting the fraud, while billions in federal aid vanished into fake nonprofits run by Somali migrants. 🔹The hearing highlighted how Ellison personally met with key figures in the fraud rings shortly before receiving hefty campaign contributions, suggesting a direct financial link between the scams and Minnesota's Democratic machine. #ChristinaAguayoNews 🔹Witnesses detailed a "web of fraud" involving 78 individuals charged—73 of Somali descent—with schemes that laundered money to Kenya, Turkey, and even terrorist-linked groups in Somalia, including a 20-year sentence for one ringleader. |
IbeOkehie:You are right. Nothing will happen. Don't know whom to thank for that, the left and RINO house members are just buying time before Trump exits.Only 10 out of 90 US Attorneys have been confirmed thanks to the Senate which allowed a judge to throw out Letitia James and Comey cases. In Comeys case a different judge ordered the evidence against him not to be used, the seized emails of Dan Richman which formed the crux of the case. Legally almost all cases end up before democrat appointed judges . In DC where most of the corruption occurs ,the juries are hopelessly biased .Ditto other areas where democrats are a majority. Weep for America. Up |
Top America universities have received undisclosed tens of billions from foreign nations Top being Qatar and China. $62 billion uncovered. https://washingtonstand.com/article/trump-administration-flags-billions-in-foreign-funds-flowing-to-us-universities No wonder free free Palestine crowds are active in college with university presidents doing nothing with regards to the Hamas top hosts Qatar. China. Most likely get to have their students train in top notch universities. |
bayelsaowei:With Epstein I'm yet to see Trump implicated in child abuse ,much to your chagrin. Most damning . 2020 wild anonymous calls to FBI that have been released . I deal with a subject matter exhaustively, by now you should know that. Backed up with references that have never been proven wrong. Tampon Tim is in a load of problems. Hundreds of staff from various agencies are scrutinizing the finances of his kingdom. |
This one will surely rattle Tim Walz. Nick Shirley drops a video interview with David the man who helped him expose Minnesota fraud.

IbeOkehie:This makes sense. The ICE agent had been seriously injured a few months earlier. The ICE agent involved in a recent fatal shooting in Minneapolis had previously sustained serious injuries in a separate vehicle incident in June 2025. This officer is identified in court documents as Jonathan Ross. Details regarding the prior incident in June 2025: Incident description: During an attempted arrest of an undocumented immigrant, the officer got his arm trapped in the driver-side window as the suspect sped away, dragging the officer a significant distance (roughly 100 yards). Injuries: The agent suffered multiple lacerations and abrasions to his knee, elbow, and face, and received more than 30 stitches. Suspect conviction: The driver in that incident, Roberto Carlos Muñoz-Guatemala, was later convicted by a jury of assault on a federal officer with a dangerous weapon which caused bodily injury. I understand him better right now Ono, raumdeuter, benalvino3. He wasn't going to be dragged on tarmac for 100 yards |
Obrigardo:Let me get this. Mar a Lago is connected to drug trafficking ? Officially with Trunps knowledge? Enthrall me with more juicy details . |
benalvino3:She was part of an ICE neighbourhood watch group. Though media and family say she was kindv,gentle etc She seems to be one of those entitled white progressive liberals, a complete package with a wife who was filming her stunts. But at least she had a child. I also don't believe she wanted to deliberately hit to get ICE agent ,maybe she wanted to see him scared as he tried to jump away
|
IbeOkehie:With the criminal referral of Tim Walz and Keith Ellison,expect them to conjure up charges against the ICE agent. Democrats are truly evil people. Derek Chauvnik didn't expect George Floyd to die. He'd restrained him using a technique taught to law enforcement. Yet Ellison found a workaround , and the rest is history. The prosecution claimed a knee on the neck is not taught. The pathologist initial report didn't include asphyxiation,he was sort of ordered to include the knee on the neck as cause of death by his superior The liberals will use this death to demonize the ICE and as a rallying call to stop it's activities. As Trump ramps up successes here and there the democrats need everything to win back the house. |
The DSA ,Mamdani's party is behind the pro Maduro protests. https://justthenews.com/government/security/mamdanis-dsa-closely-allied-maduro-years-now-leads-protests-his-capture-us The left has gone full cycle .The Chinese are also aiding in the protests. |
Don't remember who was trying to prove the infallibility of Wikipedia. The woman. Was trying to turn the car around.

ono:This went down yesterday. 🚨 IT’S OFFICIAL: DOJ CRIMINAL REFERRALS FILED Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison have been referred to the U.S. Department of Justice for potential criminal charges in connection with Minnesota’s massive Somali-linked fraud scandal. The referral comes after sworn testimony before Congress gave Rep. Anna Paulina Luna what she says is sufficient evidence that top Minnesota officials were knowingly complicit in widespread fraud involving social service programs. ⸻ 📜 FULL DIALOGUE — CONGRESSIONAL RECORD Chairman Comer: “The chair recognizes Ms. Luna.” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: “Thank you, Chairman Comer. Honorable Robbins, based on your record before this committee, when did Governor Walz first become aware of widespread fraud in Minnesota social service programs?” Honorable Robbins: “I would assume that he has been aware of it since he ran for office for governor in 2018.” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: “By 2017, DHS investigators warned that CCAP fraud could exceed 50%. Was that information elevated to the governor’s office?” Honorable Robbins: “Yes, there was an OLA report.” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: “Thank you, ma’am. By 2020, state officials knew Feeding Our Future invoices were fraudulent. We know that payments continued with the Attorney General’s knowledge. Did they continue with the governor’s knowledge as well?” Honorable Robbins: “Yes.” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: “Attorney General Ellison agreed on tape to fight Minnesota’s own Department of Human and Health Services in exchange for Somali political and financial support. In your personal opinion, do you believe it is possible that Governor Walz also made that personal deal, or at least knew about the Attorney General’s agreement?” Honorable Robbins: “I don’t know.” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: “Okay. I don’t want to rehash what this committee has already spent hours covering. We know there is a massive fraud issue in Minnesota. Because of your testimony, because of the evidence presented, and because this committee—at Chairman Comer’s direction—will soon be subpoenaing Attorney General Ellison, I am making criminal referrals regarding Governor Walz and Attorney General Ellison. As you know, U.S. Code §371 and U.S. Code §2 criminalize conspiracies to defraud the United States and establish liability for those who knowingly aid or abet federal offenses. That includes willful blindness or deliberate inaction where a duty to act exists. I will be referring them later today.” ⸻ 🔥 BOTTOM LINE Top Minnesota officials were warned. They knew. Payments continued anyway. Now the evidence is on record — and the DOJ has been formally asked to act. GREAT. Fire up the prosecutions. |
