---Don't think he would resign the third time as regards to his friendship with Epstein---because Felon 47 will protect him---


---Mandelson: more ‘very embarrassing’ details of Epstein friendship to come---
Dump can't protect Sir Mandelson. Down here, we don't even need to hound Sir Mandelson to resign. All that needs be done is for the media and Lady Kemi to stand up at Question Time every Wednesday and ask his boss Sir Kier Starmer about him so the electorate sees it constantly and have enough of him and kick him out of Number 10, and Sir Mandelson will be gone soon enough. But I doubt it would take that long, considering Sir Mandelson has said there's more to be revealed.

I expect Sir Kier to dump Sir Mandelson before the boat they share sinks, or for Sir Mandelson to accept his position is no more tenable and resign just as Lady Rayner did. If he survives the dump visit to UK, I'd be very surprised. Then there's the Labour Conference.

Ibime , unlike Felicia I can get an educated answer from you.
Central Bank Rates.

Previously you pointed out that the interest rates are raised to combat inflation . Conversely they are lowered to encourage growth.

With (I'm using America) the debt $36 Trillion ,doesn't higher rates drive the govt to the brink. Has to repay more , have it's credit rating downgraded etc.
You don't know how the interest USA pays on its debt is arrived at, which is fair, since you are asking.

USA borrows by selling bonds to raise the money they want. They state how much they want to raise, and lenders (bond buyers) will state how much they will charge. An aggregate is then arrived at for that particular bond.

The fed can say what its effective federal funds rate (EFFR) is, but as you will see in the article linked below, that does not determine the interest USA pays on its borrowing, though I know you wouldn't bother to understand it and would only come back with 2000 mules. Its basically saying the fed cut rates and bondholders charged even more, which will be the case if the fed lowers the EFFR even lower.

This is because at the end of the borrowing period, after which the lender has been paying interest, the lender also pays the principal, which might not be worth the same amount that was lended due to depreciation or inflation, or even appreciation and deflation, the later which might make your lent money be worth even more, in which case you might have not minded a low interest, but would mind if your money was worth less when paid back, for which you'd have wisely demanded a higher yield at issue.

When the Fed cut its policy rates by 100 basis points in 2024 amid rising inflation, the 30-year Treasury yield, in a massive counter-reaction, rose by 100 basis points, and we began musing here about a secret question: How many more rate cuts would it take to drive the 30-year yield to 6%?
https://wolfstreet.com/2025/08/30/30-year-treasury-yield-stuck-near-5-on-inflation-fears-but-6-month-yield-drops-sees-rate-cuts-long-end-of-yield-curve-steepens-a-lot-mortgage-rates-still-over-6-5/
Perhaps think of your own debt/credit. You don't tell the lender how much interest you will pay. Its the lender who looks at the risk you pose and imposes interest on you accordingly. If you are credit worthy, as in you pay on time, you'd likely get a lower interest rate than a person who doesn't, as the lender will compensate for the risk posed. (This, by the way, was dumps New York case was about).

On a serious note, I do wish you'd spend more time trying to understand this than swimming in your magaconspiracies, because its implications are huge in the whole scheme of things. But I guess I'll live in hope knowing the sky will fall on this one day. Just ask France and my own UK, or Japan and even China.

I s it human and moral to open the border and allow anyone and everyone to enter the country?
Yes it is. If their lifes are in danger where they are coming from. That's why the world recognises assylum seekers. It is Christian too. Leviticus 19:33-34 ("You shall not oppress a stranger..."wink, Matthew 25:35-40 (the parable about serving the hungry and strangers), and Romans 12:13 (exhorting believers to "extend hospitality to strangers"wink.

Is it human or moral to have people being gunned down in Liberal cities
No it isn't. That's why most countries don't let their citizens go about with guns.

raumdeuter:
Is it human or moral to have boys play in girls sport?
Yes it is. Boys and girls play many sports in school together. There's also sports for adults that have mixed teams.

raumdeuter:
Is it human or moral to have other country's tariff American goods
I can't really see how this is a moral question, and think it is more an economic question. It is economic sense for Nigeria to tariff the tokunbo junk that ends up in our country, and we do tariff them.

raumdeuter:
The liberal policies that allow lawlessness, disorderliness and taking advantage of America are those human or moral
The "lawlessness, disorderliness" is not necessarily due to liberal policies. Liberal policies are not what made dump instigate lawlessness and disorderliness on Jan6.

O believers! Take neither Jews nor Christians as guardians—they are guardians of each other.1 Whoever does so will be counted as one of them. Surely Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.
Do tell. Do the Muslims in your neighborhood and/or family not take you as their guardians?

Do you think the Christians and Jews in London who elect a Muslim mayor have not read that nonsense?

And is it much different from the following where your God actually tells you to dispossess (steal from) and destroy?

Deuteronomy 12:29-31
“When the Lord your God cuts off before you the nations whom you go in to dispossess, and you dispossess them and dwell in their land, take care that you be not ensnared to follow them, after they have been destroyed before you, and that you do not inquire about their gods, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their gods?—that I also may do the same.’ You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way, for every abominable thing that the Lord hates they have done for their gods, for they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.
If you asked me, the pox on both your lousy gods.

Except these figures are preliminary, and are revised every month when they are tallied with payroll tax reports and unemployment insurance tax records which are more accurate but still get revised.

They can run with their fake numbers for a while, but they can not hide the facts for ever.

Those that accuse you of such are they even Christians to begin with ?
Some claim they are Christians, but I tend to find most of them just hate Muslims, which, in my opinion, makes them not Christian at all, especially if they happen to be Nigerians who are supposed to love their neighbours, some who are likely to be Muslims.

But seriously, I think many of them assume Palestinians are like our bokoharam, or that all Muslims are terrorists or something, which makes them no different to the brain dead who think all Nigerians are Yahoos, except themselves of course.

Politics › Re: Tinubu Pledges Reliable Electricity For Nigerian Hospitals To Prevent Power by budaatum: 11:41pm On Sep 09, 2025
And how exactly is Tinubu going to ensure hospitals have electricity that does not exist in the hospitals' environment?

Buy them all generators perhaps, or run special electric cables to hospitals only?

So I went to investigate.

In August 2024, the Federal Government announced a 50 per cent electricity subsidy for public hospitals and educational institutions, aimed at easing the financial burden caused by rising energy tariffs. However, despite these assurances, concrete implementation of key policies related to power supply in the health sector has been slow.

https://punchng.com/tinubu-vows-to-end-power-outages-in-hospitals/
Subsidies!

If government paid their electricity bill, hospitals might likely pay their's too and have the electric they pay for.

Regardless, they were not allowed to test their current car, so?

As for 47 engines, they'd needed to have had loads of failures to need to use that many, don't you think? And even if all those failures were in practice 1, 2 or 3, and none in qualifying or the race, it would still have costed them.

But seriously, if you "deal with facts" as you claim, why are you presenting me with "rumours"?

omar22:
Ferrari had its own test track, Fiorano, which allowed them to test their cars at any time, with no restrictions on mileage or frequency. The days when a team with a test track could make unlimited use of their facilities. When manufacturers were not told how many cylinders their engines could have, or how many engines they could use during the course of a season. When the drivers could rev those engines as high as they would go. When mechanics could work long into the night while their No1 driver stayed with them, sharing the task of fettling a piece of equipment with which he could win the next day’s race. I deal with facts and not hot air... Theres a race where Ferrari brought 17 engines to the race and rumour of a season where Ferrari used 47 engines. I’m sure I read that at Canada in 2002, The Michael had an engine failure at the end of the Sunday morning warmup, so they just put in a new one for the race.

The Benetton had an illegal driver aid traction control system and also in 1994 Damon Hill was the #2 driver to both Prost and Senna who had to step in after the tragic death of Senna. The Ford Coswot V8 engine was lighter in weight which Benetton used in 1994, in 1995 Benetton switched to V10 Renault engine, which was the most powerful engine around, saying that Williams had a superior car, that's debatable.

I meant Ferrari was nowhere until they were allowed unlimited testing
Well, you at least admit it wasn't Schumacher who was nowhere, but Ferrari, until Schumacher went there and took them somewhere to 5 championship however he could. So I rest.

As to your unlimited testing, I'm going to put it down as your opinion which the facts do not support.

Oh no! I really cannot change you and I'm not even trying. You can be whatever you want to be, my friend. That's fine with me. Let every man hold fast that which he believes, and when he dies, he shall see if he was wrong or right.

It's your responsibility to seek the truth, as is mine. I'd you think you know the truth, please hold fast to it. When you die, it'll be revealed to you whether you found the way or you were just delusional, and the same applies to me.
When I die, my dead body will be put in the ground 6ft deep where worms will eat my carcase and I wouldn't even know about it.

As for seeking the truth, I don't need to make crap up and believe it when the text is very clear and my eyes are open enough to see that the Adam created from mud was not created on the same day the image of God was created, and that they were not given the same instruction nor the same food to eat.

What amazes me is that it is not obvious to believers. But that, I guess, is what believing is all about. It does not involve asking and knocking and seeking with one's own heart and soul and mind and being, but believing what one is told to believe.

As for changing anyone, just know I am aware that some seeds will fall by the wayside, and the birds will devour them. And some will fall on stony places where they will not have much earth and will be scorched by the sun. And some will fall among thorns, which will choke them. But some fall on good ground and yield a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Those who have ears to hear and eyes to look and see for themselves, will hear and see while here living on this earth, and would not wait till they are dead.
