He had calmly pointed out that he could not do as Trump demanded and recognise Russian control of Crimea, which Russia grabbed in 2014, because it was forbidden by his country’s constitution. It’s telling that Trump should be enraged by a president who thinks constitutions have to be respected.

Investigators believe Lopez was hired by Nancy to work on the home and then later offered their place for Lopez to stay.

"Later offered" could be, he rented their home they let, but trust you to disingenuously twist facts to tell untruths.

Condos are often the first and biggest movers in local housing markets. Prices exploded in many of them over the three years between mid-2019 and the peak in mid-2022, by 60% such as in Austin, TX; by 70% such as in Tampa, FL, and Chula Vista, San Diego County, CA; or by 80% such as in Mesa, AZ, and Lakeland, FL.

But this absurdity is now coming unglued, and prices have begun spiraling down. In Austin, which is on the forefront of this movement, prices have already given up nearly two-thirds of the 60% three-year gain. People who bought at the top in mid-2022 are 22% underwater. People who bought in mid-2019 are still sitting on a 20% gain that is shrinking.

Blame for this absurdity in 2020 through mid-2022 goes to the Fed’s schemes of money-printing and interest rate repression at the time, which triggered a general mania for asset purchases.

Musk dismisses protests
Analysts in recent weeks have been laying much of the blame for the biggest sales drop in company history on Musk’s controversial role in the Trump administration as the head of DOGE, which has resulted in protests outside Tesla showrooms and vandalism at its facilities. There has also been a sharp drop in sales in Europe, where Musk has also become politically active, supporting far-right political parties in Germany and the United Kingdom.

Musk claimed, without offering any proof, that those protesters were speaking out because they had been receiving the “waste and fraud” that he said DOGE has been eliminating. He also defended the work of DOGE as the right thing for the country and the company.

meanwhile Biden had an actual $35 cap on insulin for seniors on Medicare.
Something Trump himself called a radical approach and immediately sought to dismantle as soon as he could. Anything that helps people is immediately classified as radical by the right wingers.

Now we’re supposed to celebrate his concept of a plan to cut medication costs. Not even action. Just plans.

All talks and no action. Like his no tax on tips promises.
He orders.

LOWERING PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICES: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to expand on the historic efforts of his first term to lower prescription drug prices.

The Order directs the Department of Health and Human Services to take steps to significantly reduce drug prices for American patients.

The Order helps states reduce drug prices by:
Facilitating importation programs that could save states millions in prescription drug costs.

Business › Re: He Told Me He Sent Me ₦2.1 Million, But This Is How I Knew The Receipt Was Fake! by budaatum: 2:58pm On Apr 22, 2025
maureensylvia:
Sometime earlier this month, around past 7am, just as I was heading out to drop my kids at school, I got a call.

The person claimed someone referred him to me. He said his boss, a senator, urgently needed bags of rice for a birthday giveaway to prisoners and motherless babies. Sounds noble, right?

I gave him the price.

By 8:10am, he requested my account details.

Barely 10 minutes later, he forwarded a transaction receipt of N2.1 million and began calling repeatedly, urging me to send the goods immediately.

He said, “We trusted you enough to pay before seeing you. Please trust us back and send the rice now. We need it urgently.”

But something didn’t sit right with me.

Thankfully, I zoomed in on the receipt and noticed a tiny detail that didn’t match up.

I'll share the major difference here

I forwarded the receipt to my account officer, and guess what?

It was a fake alert.

I quietly thanked God and smiled. Because if I had moved by emotions, pressure, or excitement, I would have lost both goods and capital.

In business, emotion is expensive. Wisdom and structure will save you from tears.
I am so delighted you never fell for this.

Your wisdom and bank balance will increase a million fold.

BREAKING: Financial markets tumble as President Trump continues to attack Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

https://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/trump-taunts-jerome-powell-waiting-long-cut-rates-rcna202123

This foolish Man is on a mission to destroy America patapata.
"Bond investors really don’t like the Fed’s independence impaired, and if the president actually did fire Powell, the bond market would throw up all over it and long-term interest rates would go skyward," he said. "It's a really bad idea. A cornerstone of a well-functioning economy like our own is a well-functioning central bank. If we lose that, we lose our economy’s secret sauce."
I beg to differ, and feel Dump should dump Powell and lets see.

I apologise to USAnians who might suffer if true.

With the ever growing threat of China's economic rise and with the west facing industrial irrelevance, The new guy would most likely promote the right wing narrative, The easiest way for the west to spread white nationalism is true the Catholic "church" which has proven time and again to be a very potent machinery in Western politics
Would a future pope really be as stupid as Musk, and do what would obviously kill the Catholic Church like Musk is killing Tesla?

Don't forget to tell me you told me so if and when it happens please that the Catholic Church replaces the very profitable doctrine of Christ for the poverty and stupidity of white nationalism in a world where their current product is far more profitable in the non-white developing world. I'd be amazed.

The officers, assuming he is one of their own, wave him through.
I guess some might not see how or why this is a problem.

In enlightened societies, the cloths you wear do not imbue you with any privilege, and it would be discriminatory to assume wearing military wear will get you waved through a check point. But Naija is a different story. Just calling oneself an imam or a pastor is enough to imbue one with privilege.

When atheist me passes through Murtala Mohammed Airport, I put a tesuba on top of my packings, so when its opened and searched its the first thing they see. Also on top will be my Quran, and under that, my Bible.

The Muslims revere the tesuba and the Christians are scared by anything Islamic, and neither would search my luggage any further. But in case either do, my added insurance is the books.

And yes! I am taking advantage of their stupidity and ignorance.

The below shows how ignorant you are. China holds US bonds that they can easily sell on the open market if they want to, and USA can't even withhold the interest they must regularly pay. I'd like dump to try though, just so you can see what happens when you default.

Officers who identified as another gender but who did not have a GRC were not allowed to, but if a trans woman had a certificate, they could strip search a female detainee.

https://news.sky.com/story/trans-women-to-be-strip-searched-by-male-transport-police-after-court-ruling-13350577
It's either the British Transport Police are tripping, or the agency that wrote the above article are being mischievous.

Either ways, I'm posting it as a test of comprehension, and I advice it be read twice before you comment.

The below is likely more in tune with the supreme courts judgement, and what the BTP will and should do.

“However, as an interim position while we digest yesterday’s judgment, we have advised our officers that any same-sex searches in custody are to be undertaken in accordance with the biological birth sex of the detainee.

Religious madness is when a so-called Muslim eats from the Christian's easter or Sango festival or Eyo Festival or Osun Osogbo when the texts he believes in goes contrary to that!
Its sad you think this way.

I'm from Osogbo, and gods are figments of the imagination, but I'm invited to eat dog when Ogun is worshipped, though I don't because dogs are dirty, and I'm invited to eat the white goat they sacrifice to the River Owala, which flows into the Osun river, which I do eat.

I'm going to church for Easter only because I'm taking an old friend who is a Christian, and I gave to Muslim members of my family when they celebrated Eid.

I'm not mad. I just love my neighbours and my family and friends regardless of their gods.

I didn't believe it, but this post here is probably suggesting same thing the poster wrote though indirectly.

A thorough research into demographic history should be made.
You are funny. kiss

You might also want to claim it is suggested to you that Nigerians who eat Indomie descended from China, and those who eat pasta are from Italy.

I'm pulling your legs. You did after all mention "thorough research", but I can't help wanting to use your suggestion when I decide to migrate to China or Italy. I'll show them a bowl of pasta or indomie and say I'm just returning to my homeland in China or Italy, and they'll not just give me visa, but give me Italian and Chinese passport.

In fact, let me go find out what they eat in America so I can claim American.
