Months after the Trump administration ground U.S. refugee admissions to a halt, the program meant for people fleeing war or political persecution has restarted — but only for one group: White South Africans.

Washington Post

The arriving families, who are part of a group that President Donald Trump has said faces racial discrimination, will then be resettled outside Virginia in 10 states, according to those familiar with the plans, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to share details of the preparations.

The author of that tweet must be a woke-left MAGAphobe.
Has he ever tweeted against far left leaders for supporting extreme abortion and other deviant practices ?
That's our Robert Prevost, the new woke left MAGAphobe Pope Leo XIV.

That said, I don't see anywhere Christ taught gradations of love, as JDVance claimed. If you can help please.

The gulf between WASCE and Jamb is like between O'levels and discontinued A'levels, and has been in place since the later was scrapped, unfortunately. But Nigeria is simply using it to limit graduates, since no work is found for most.

Wise parents are ensuring their children learn skills from like 12 years old. Just thought I'd say.

I don't think you like RFK Jr as Health Secretary for his controversial stance of not supporting Kamala Harris.
You imply there is something fishy about USA chicken which can also be interpreted as America multinationals are making people ill.
Then you should support him.
You don't think I like a health secretary who denies science? Surely even you can don't think better than that?

The UK health secretary says there's something fishy about bleached chicken and hormone fed beef. Tell RFK Jr to go do something about that instead of spreading measles.

Hopefully his choice of the name Pope Leo speaks itself.
The Conservative Catholic Cardinals in the US are going to have ot do some soul searching as this seems to be a continuation of Pope Francis.

Congratulations to the First American Pope Francis Roberts.
A great choice. An American pope is likely to be heard louder than many others.

While the Prime Minister has been groveling and begging for a deal behind the scenes, nateevs is here making noise showing symptoms of Acute TDS.
"If the government is confident the agreement it has negotiated with Trump is in Britain's national interest, it should not be afraid to bring it before MPs."

Unless it's a secret deal of course, to be implemented in secret as smuggled chlorinated chicken.

---Fantastic news and a good development---so the British can buy Diabetic Cheetos / Chloroquined Chicken--- and in return rich Americans can keep buying Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, Bentley and Land Rover without the tariffs---
We UKanians already fight against our own bad chicken, and you think we'd accept junk chicken from USA? You must not know we Brits refuse to poison our children for profit, aside that Bentley is owned by Volkswagen AG, BMW owns the Rolls-Royce trademark. Aston Martin is currently owned by Canadian investor Lawrence Stroll, and Land Rover is owned by Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Motors, an Indian multinational conglomerate. Hardly the sort we'd sacrifice our children to, being we are a bit more socialist than American magacapitalists.

Starmer has no deal until he presents it in parliament and we decide if we want it.

I think this is what we "used" to be. I think we tried to rectify that and we've reverted.
Yeah. You tried, and have now reverted somewhat. But as I tell a friend, you are a democracy. You get to change your minds every 4 years. And 'we the people' must experience to believe. Though experience seems down to interpretation these days. Or rather, perhaps people ignore their own experiences and just believe what they are told or choose to believe.

Can't wait for midterms to see what you all decide. And I'm wondering how the choice of (maga or woke) pope would impact the future.

To be honest, this is what you've always been. Just that you've temporarily moved on from black and native people to those you now label as illegal immigrants. And I won't be surprised if you go back to your usual culprits before the end of dump's 4 year term.

I didn't write it, It could have been a policeman too.
Theme was how a technicality can allow a cold blooded murderer walk free instead of facing the death penalty. The law is an ass if this guy don't do time .
But liberals are happy about this The victim also has family who need closure.
Its right wing anti dei rhetoric, but however you cut it, due process, or rather, its America. And it starts from miranda. Though I feel you'd be gladder if police had just I can't breathed him.

If police botch the job, the family must seek closure from police and sue them for distress caused by their incompetence to not close. That's America too, I think.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 President Trump announces 100% tariff on all movies imported into the United States.



I explained this either here or somewhere else not long ago.

Only people who don't understand what's happening will fault this man.

I as a consumer of entertainment know that Hollywood is fast losing it to chinese and other Asian Pacific nations as far as entertainment is concerned.
Platforms like Netflix is projected in the near future to make most of it's gains from Asian Pacific and with the influx of cheaper streaming sites from china and India, America is on a long thing.

Netflix has about 300 million subscribers while tencrnt, IQIYI, jiostar are clocking 600 million from Asian Pacific where Netflix projects to make her gains from like 5 years coming. And these companies have their English platforms headquartered in America.
So they sell their products to the world from America extremely cheaper than America that will buy from them and sell to the world.
Hope you understand the breakdown before you start your condemnation.

I explained why I left Netflix like a month ago or so and others who love asian dramas are leaving in their numbers. We have joined these Asian Pacific platforms cos 1, they are more interactive. Like a forum.
2, they are fast. Netflix comes late to the table and takes like months to finish airing as far as deamas from these countries are concerned. Not ready to wait. They don't stream.
3, they are very cheap. I pay around 200 plus for Netflix yearly. With that, I subscribe for vip or standard pass for 4 streaming platforms and still get change. Every year, Netflix is adding more money for subscription.
4, Asian Pacific dramas and series are where the fun is now.
5, you can even watch their drams on youtube. Netflix won't do that.
So why will I need Netflix.

Prime is worst.
An amazon prime member but will not go for their movies or drama. Why should I rent a drama to watch. Dem dey ment?
So, you left Netflix because a foreign company offers you better choice and deals and options and business model?

And how now will tariffs make you buy made in America Amazon or Netflix when it is their business model and bad offering that chased you away in the first place?

Australia also voted against low budget temu Trump today.

The crazy part is that all these countries were trending heavily to the right due to the rise in anti-immigration stances.

Now they see the madness going on in America, and they are like, "Nope, we are not doing this."

Today's Bible Reading.
1 Kings 12 Verse 12-14


12 Three days later Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam, as the king had said, “Come back to me in three days.” 13 The king answered the people harshly. Rejecting the advice given him by the elders, 14 he followed the advice of the young men and said, “My father made your yoke heavy; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.”
And the reward for his lack of wisdom was:

“Moreover the Lord will raise up for Himself a king over Israel who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam; this is the day. What? Even now!

The man, speaking out of the camera's view, asks the woman if she called another child at the playground the "N-word."

The woman begins walking away before turning around and calling the man the "N-word" and making an obscene gesture.

"He took my son's stuff," the woman said when the man pressed her.

"So that gives you the right to call the child, 5-years-old, a n*****, the ‘N-word?’" the man said.

"If that's what he's gonna act like," the woman said.
