WriteerNg:Plus dermmy. Oil is a curse to many nations. I have ever floated this idea to nations when it comes to mineral wealth. Nationalize the natural resource. Then since the countrymen wil just loot , hire expatriates with strict performance targets. In the case of oil there are so many retired western executives who successfully ran huge oil companies. Very many. Hire them on a salary and performance targets.. Get international auditors to audit the oil companies. Either Deloitte PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers) EY (Ernst & Young) KPMG These companies cannot risk their reputation,they will do a good job. Hire the McKinseys and Bain to lay down the strategic organization of these govt owned companies Sit back and let the guys earn the country money . They will make more money than having your fellow corrupt countrymen with their parochial interests. |
dermmy:Venezuela is one of the world's largest oil deposit holders. When they had the western companies exploiting their oil their living standards were better. Chavez like every good socialist nationalizes the companies .Then his henchmen ran the facilities down and steal the money. If you think Chavez and Maduro win elections fairly I have a bridge to sell you. |
WriteerNg:They loved Chavez for booting out the evil empire. Where are they now? |
WriteerNg:On a serious note, has Maduro and Chavez been good for the Venezuelan people? Maduro is Cuba trained puppet . Much as I want Ukraine war to end and Zelensky to lose ,I am no fan of communists. Communists brook no dissent. Russia ,China , North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela ,add liberal Brazil. |
Benalvino3. A take on rob Reiner. This guy must've been working for the CIA or the Intelligence COMMUNITY. https://hotair.com/larry-elder/2025/12/20/what-rob-reiner-said-about-and-did-to-donald-trump-n3810103 In 2017 he fired off a committee to investigate Russia (CIR) .Partnered with Janes Clapper, Mike Morell, Matt Hayden and John Brennan... These are deep state intelligence spooks the ,creme de la creme during Obama era. After spying on Trump , the CIA and FBI needed to make sure their actions would be never be exposed So Russiagate , Mueller investigation sham impeachments,COVID , etc were initiated to either hamper Trump or remove him. He was their Hollywood mouthpiece. Part of the IC efforts to shake down Trump. Reiner was a dedicated democrat activist for decades there is no overt feud with Trump before he ran for the elections. Reiner's wife, Michele Singer Reiner, was a professional photographer who shot the cover photo used on Trump's 1987 bestseller, The Art of the Deal. Reiner recalled....One account mentions Rob Reiner briefly meeting Trump in 1988 and describing him positively as "larger than life" and "charismatic," with no indication of animosity. Only after Trump wins does Reiner suddenly go public with how he loathed Trump. Trump shouldn't have danced on his grave in public though. |
Chile elections. The conservative won 58% in the runoff against the Communist Party candidate of Chile. Yes Chile has a Communist party that often unites with far left and socialist parties In Honduras it's taken 21 days so far to count around 3 6 million votes. The Trump preferred candidate is still leading , wonder whether liberals will count the votes until their candidate wins . A bank teller can hand count all those in an hour. States and countries where votes have been counted for days after elections. List is disproportionately liberal/ leftist. Florida 2000 Presidential: Prolonged recounts and Supreme Court intervention halted hand counts after 36 days, certifying George W. Bush's narrow win over Al Gore by 537 votes. Iowa 2nd District 2020 House: Democrat Rita Hart lost to Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks by 6 votes after recounts and a 3-month congressional contest over disputed ballots. New York 22nd District 2020 House: Democrat Anthony Brindisi conceded to Republican Claudia Tenney after months of court-ordered recounts, ending with a 109-vote margin. Alaska House District 1 2018: Democrat Kathryn Dodge lost by 1 vote to Republican Bart LeBon after weeks of recount and state Supreme Court review. New York 1st District 1914 House: Democrat Lathrop Brown lost by 10 votes to Republican Frederick Hicks after over 13 months of court and House disputes. Mexico 2006 Presidential: Leftist Andrés Manuel López Obrador lost narrowly to conservative Felipe Calderón after 2 months of partial recounts and massive protests over alleged fraud. Kenya 2007 Presidential: Left-leaning Raila Odinga lost to Mwai Kibaki amid delayed results and fraud claims, sparking violence; resolved months later with power-sharing. Zimbabwe 2008 Presidential: Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai withdrew from runoff after a month-long result delay and violence, handing victory to Robert Mugabe. Iran 2009 Presidential: Reformist Mir-Hossein Mousavi lost to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad amid immediate rigging allegations, leading to months of protests and ongoing suppression. Honduras 2017 Presidential : Leftist Salvador Nasralla lost to incumbent Juan Orlando Hernández after a multi-week count interruption and irregularities, amid protests. Honduras 2025 Presidential (ongoing): As of December 21 (21 days post-election), conservative Nasry Asfura (Trump-endorsed) holds a narrow lead; partial manual recount underway with fraud claims from rivals. |
bayelsaowei:If you are planning on bringing up a supposedly case filed against Trump and Epstein by a 13 year old Katie Johnson , I had posted about it here in July 2024. https://www.nairaland.com/4508641/american-politics-thread-trump-47th/4217#130786960 This was a 2016 smear most likely by the Clintons. Remember when she was being investigated over her emails she conjured up the Russia collusion. The allegations seem something the witch would be behind,Just like the Obama birth certificate allegation she created during the 2008 democrat primaries. She's pure evil. "We came, we saw, he died" She said that after Gadaffi was executed by jihadists |
H< bayelsaowei:I don't know how you reason. How would he not be mentioned when the FBI has tried every way to get him . When Maureen Comey was the lead prosecutor in Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases. The depositions I've seen have investigators specifically question them about Trump. The ones who interacted with him said he never did anything wrong. Including at a dinner in Epstein home at least once. Maureen Comey is James Comey daughter, the Hitlery lackey both with an axe to grind against Trump who has repeated in at least two occasions about Bill Clinton being in trouble over Epstein Yes Trump is mentioned. I'll get a verbatim from Grok once I settle down. |
My theory for today if Trump had not defeated Hillary in 2016 1. ISIS would still be occupying large swaths of Iraq and Syria .Assad would still be the President. 2. Hillary would have also won 2020. 3. COVID-19 would never have happened. 4. Russia would not have invaded. |
7 bayelsaowei:I have read the transcripts and summaries in the case against Ghislaine. Nowhere was Trump impuned to have participated in those heinous crimes. Not a single victim. So I'm not just shooting mouth. Epstein is a Democrat's problem. He was probably the brains behind the Clinton foundation, again as it's founder membership team. His skill was in hiding, moving and laundering money's., Your hero who's finally supposed to take the vile Trump down was a satanic pervert. ,,,she performed the massage naked. At the conclusion of this massage, Epstein paid $200 for the massage. He explained, I know you are not comfortable put I will pay you if you bring some girls. He told her the younger the better. Redacted stated she once tried to bring a 23 year old to Epstein and he stated the female was too old |
Raumdeuter. This website trumprx.gov This too. President Trump announces major deals with 9 more MAJOR pharmaceutical giants, slashing prices of key medications for Americans: Blood thinner: $750 to less $16 HIV medication: $1,500 to $217 Hep B medication: $1,400 to $413 Hep C medication: $25,000 to less $2,500 What does this mean ? |
U bayelsaowei:I call Epstein the spawn of the devil. That people like Clinton could be sharing hot tubs with Ghislaine and a girl whose face is blacked out , of which you have zero interest in it's only Trump who matters to you. Here is a 2016 Ghislaine Maxwell deposition. I posted this in April this year. https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Maxwell-deposition-2016.pdf Look for Trump in there. |
benalvino3:That's what I've said all along, democrats and the left don't care about the victims. They only want to see Trump muddied and possibly removed from power. Epstein to democrats starts and stops with Trump. I have read unredacted copies of the grand jury testimonies of Ghislaine ,Virginia Giuffrey, Epstein's butler, his co-pilot and a few others They exonerated Trump completely . I think I posted them here some years ago. They were redacted stupidly,pasting them to notepad removed the hidden parts. |
In 2020 Fulton county in Georgia counted 315000 early mail in votes without poll workers signature. Biden won Georgia by 11779 votes. Trump had called George Raffensberger and told him to find 11000 votes that could be nullified. Only 11000 votes Instead the call was leaked and jack Smith plus Fani Willis criminalized the call saying the call was improper. Still the issue of vote counting stopping at midnight , then Ruby Miss and her daughter continuing to count was ignored by courts.

Roland17:How can USDS created by an Executive Order by Obama in 2014 ,then repurposed and renamed by Trump as DOGE be an Act of Congress? |
] Obrigardo:100K documents released a few hours ago and they are still looking for Trump .? In a few days media will move on to the next attack angle forgetting about the Epstein files The media Epstein concern was to implicate Trump. Never about Epstein victims. Bill Clinton with Ghislaine in a poo plus a redacted girl , Michael Jackson, Noam Chomsky etc were good friends of Epstein. Bill Gates .
|
Obrigardo:That was New York Times smear and scandalous story released ahead of the documents release. The same NYT that at the end wriote . To avoid a lawsuit they ended up with ...... Mr. Epstein had a talent for acquiring powerful friends, some of whom have become ensnared in the continuing scrutiny of his crimes. For months, Mr. Trump has labored furiously to shift himself out of the frame, dismissing questions about his relationship with Mr. Epstein as a “Democrat hoax” and imploring his supporters to ignore the matter entirely. An examination of their history by The New York Times has found no evidence implicating Mr. Trump in Mr. Epstein’s abuse and trafficking of minors. They write hearsay ,publish it without confirmation for obrigardo to believe but in the end say they found no evidence. I'm sure this Tina Davis story will take a turn. |
EnlightenedUFO:The release is out. Look for Trump here You are more likely to find Bill Clinton https://www.justice.gov/epstein/doj-disclosures . I hope this one will be there among the many files.

Barack Obama claims that the “mainstream news still does a very good job of just presenting facts.” IN FACT, the mainstream news systematically reports false “facts” that advance liberal narratives. Here are 40 notable examples among hundreds: 1) Violent crime reached a 50-year low in 2023 under President Biden. 2) “Greedflation” is the reason why “grocery prices” went “through the roof” during Biden’s presidency. 3) The president “has nothing to do with the price of bacon,” “or eggs,” “or gas,” “or any of it.” 4) Donald Trump called neo-Nazis “very fine people.” 5) Donald Trump called immigrants “animals.” 6) Donald Trump threatened a “bloodbath” if he didn’t get elected. 7) President Trump teargassed peaceful protestors for a photo-op. 8 President Trump deployed the “full might of federal law enforcement to crush protests” by “Black Lives Matter” activists. 9) President Trump had a “quid pro quo” with Ukraine. 10) Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick was killed by J6 protesters. 11) JD Vance said that “school shootings are a ‘fact of life’.” 12) Obamacare will make wages “go up.” 13) Health insurance premiums will “skyrocket” unless enhanced Obamacare subsidies are extended. 14) The national debt isn’t large enough to lower economic growth. 15) Hunter Biden’s laptop is “Russian disinformation.” 16) The contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop “can’t be verified.” 17) The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says, “All persons born in the United States are citizens.” 18) Donald Trump killed bipartisan legislation that would have fixed the border crisis. 19) The Democrat bill to end the government shutdown contained no taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants. 20) President Biden deported more illegal immigrants than President Trump. 21) Illegal immigrants “commit crimes at a much lower percentage than Americans do.” 22) Border barriers are an expensive and ineffective means of curbing illegal immigration. 23) President Biden presided “over a job-creation boom that would have gotten almost any of his predecessors re-elected in the postwar era.” 24) “There is little historical evidence tying regulation levels to” economic growth. 25) Masks work. 26) Less than 1% of people who died of Covid-19 in mid-2021 were fully vaccinated (while the actual figure was around 74%). 27) The “tax code isn’t progressive.” 28) Global wildlife abundance has “collapsed 69%” over the “past 50 years.” 29) The neighborhood watch volunteer who shot Trayvon Martin told 911, “This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.” 30) Michael Brown held his hands up and said “Don’t shoot” before he was gunned down by a police officer. 31) “Black people suffer disproportionately from police brutality.” 32) “Black and Hispanic home buyers” “tend to pay higher interest rates than whites with similar credit ratings.” 33) “Virtually no evidence” of illegal voting by non-citizens “has been discovered.” 34) Global warming turned the North Pole “into a lake.” 35) Global warming has caused “an intensification of rainstorms.” 36) “The climate crisis is not a distant threat; it’s happening right now and affecting what matters most to us. Hurricanes intensified by a warming planet and drought-fueled wildfires are destroying our communities. Rising seas and flooding are swallowing our homes. And record-breaking heat waves are reshaping our way of life. 37) Late-term abortions “mostly often involve severely troubled pregnancies that pose risks to a woman’s health or life.” 38) Democrats don’t support “an unfettered right to terminate pregnancies up until the point of birth.” 39) “Medical evidence does not support” the idea that “an unborn child is capable of experiencing pain at least by 20 weeks after fertilization.” 40) Public schools “tend to have less money” than private schools.

bayelsaowei:Everyone condemns gun violence , and taking away guns from people used to a 2nd Amendment clause in the constitution will never happen The left wants no opposition , guns are one thing that prevents them going the Stalin way. When it comes to Christianity, the left will never achieve their utopia as long as there is a christian majority . Hence their clamouring for immigrants by all means. Korea Japan , China , Poland have seen tremendous growths without importing immigrants from every shithole. Spare me the chorus that immigrants are a must to grow an economy or boost population replacement numbers. When they promote state funded abortions and worry about low birth rates. As regards Venezuela narco boats Schuck Schumer had a bill that greenlit blowing them up.I posted Fetterman comments after being briefed on the intelligence behind sinking a single boat. [s] The democrats want to get their intelligence and give it to Maduro.[/s] . Joe Biden, I have posted a video, saying anyone with an ounce of any drugs like marijuana should be jailed . When it serves to muddy Trump the left chokes on their own vomit. |
Today we should have Epstein files. New York Times that Ijebos subscribes to has an article regarding their relationship. ........ Mr. Epstein had a talent for acquiring powerful friends, some of whom have become ensnared in the continuing scrutiny of his crimes. For months, Mr. Trump has labored furiously to shift himself out of the frame, dismissing questions about his relationship with Mr. Epstein as a “Democrat hoax” and imploring his supporters to ignore the matter entirely. An examination of their history by The New York Times has found no evidence implicating Mr. Trump in Mr. Epstein’s abuse and trafficking of minors. Looks like the democrats have run out of ammunition,I hope there are some democrats who have a lot to lose with what's to be released. Obrigardo, feedthenation, budaatum |
bayelsaowei:I hope you find this heartrending too. 🚨 HEARTBREAKING — AND COURAGEOUS 🚨 A third-grade girl in California stood at the podium — so small she could barely see over it — and calmly explained why her school eliminating girls’ bathrooms is wrong. And what she said should stop everyone cold. [Girl]: I'm a third grader at Herbert Hoover Elementary School, and I do not like that we have to share a bathroom with boys. At Hoover, a boy has punched me in the stomach and spit on me. I really do not feel comfortable in an all-gender restroom. When I come to the bathroom, I do not like that there is pee on the seats and toilet paper on the ground. It feels very uncomfortable. I was at Hoover in previous years, and on the seats and no toilet paper on the ground. It was cleaner and more sanitary. My friends and I do not like that there are boys in the bathroom. Some of my friends and I try not to go to the bathroom when they have to. There should be girls, boys, and all-gender restrooms. [Official 1]: I can ask that staff will make sure that the bathrooms are cleaned in the new construction, and I’m sure staff will make sure that there are procedures in place to make sure the bathrooms are clean. [Official 2]: I think that’s a fine comment to make, and I visited the school today and went over that with Principal Menu, who is absolutely on top of it. |
bayelsaowei:Didn't I say America has a gun culture. Drugs and crimes are the most major causes of gun deaths. I detoured to Europe with it's rapefugre problem. Immigrants need to be vetted ,their values and what value they add to a country. In a nutshell that's what I'm saying. With the left they just want open borders ,letting in Jailbirds for example. Why would Maduro feed prisoners while he can simply send them to Joe Biden |
DeepSight:Yes I have not. |
DeepSight:. What am I spinning. Don Jr.: Now yesterday, there was a bunch of baseless buzz about some sort of, I don't know, ground invasion of Venezuela. The media just ran with it blindly. But instead, instead, my father delivered a speech laying out his record year of his second term. I mean, the ultimate Trump rope-a-dope. They think he's going to do a State of the Union-type address to the nation announcing yet another endless ground war, and instead, he just talks about the successes that they refuse to talk about. |
bayelsaowei:Talking about immigration and crime,rape in this case , this one should wake you up from your deep stupor #news Poland has Europe's lowest r*pe rate because they have the strictest requirements on immigration from non-European countries, according to officials |
G RodgersAkpafu:Like you cant see anything wrong. She gets her lover an ambulance chaser to investigate a RICO. Paid him $250 an hour , hires 2 more lawyers with Rico exposure. Pays them less initially. They spend the windfall on cruise ships etc using his business credit card . She lies she refunded him in cash ,which she keeps in her house. The guy decides to ensnare as many people so that the trials can last longer . The RICO charge was that Trump and associates got "fake electors". A judge last week ruled there is nothing wrong with protesting an election and the cases have been dismissed in entirety.The judge has allowed all those Fani charged to be legally able to claim refunds for attorney fees from the budget of Fani Willis office. The cases she brought were just political, shambolic ill thought and should be regarded as a Conspiracy against the rights of Trump and his coaccused. |
ono:The left wants to uppend the society where what was abnormal is now normal. I'm of the opinion they want the society broken up into tiny little pieces , They are for breaking up families , having mixed races . They fear a christian society that will close ranks on most issues . They want gay marriages recognized , which they got but plan their weddings in church and force christian bakers to make gay themed wedding cakes. As for children , I think it's more or less legalizing paedophilia. A 12/13 kid should be thinking of finishing school , not how his/ her new looks are drawing admiration from the left. This makes that child sexually active and attracted to "compassionate" adults hiding behind their paedophilia. If you can change your gender it also means you can change your age and get to abuse children. Age becomes just a number that has nothing to do with your feelings of attraction. |
Roland17:What is not clear about USDS repurposed to DOGE https://news.clearancejobs.com/2025/01/21/new-executive-order-renames-usds-to-doge-how-this-affects-government-tech-modernization/ The executive order rebrands the U.S. Digital Service (USDS), originally created in 2014 under President Obama, as the U.S. DOGE Service (USDS).
