We all know the common joke about how houses are cheaper in Texas but the catch is that you’d have to live in Texas.
Although I wouldn’t say it’s bad but it’s a saying for a reason
IjeBos: A very silly post. You don't live in the US, so you wouldn't know. It's the kind of post you'd find in the places you get your information. 1.2 Million wouldn't even get you half of that Texas house in Boston.
Housing prices are driven by demand. High housing prices show places where people want to live. Low property values, not desirable places to live. It's not the flex you think it is.
IjeBos: He is doing so much long term damage and there is so much institutional knowledge being lost. Even if the next President wanted, it's going to be hard to re-employ a lot of these people.
Coming from someone who think riboflavin is a toxic additive to food, I’m 100% sure he doesn’t know what he’s doing.
HHS, CDC and FDA to lose thousands more employees according to RFK’s wish. Make America Healthy Again by making sure the agencies that keep us healthy are even more disadvantaged than they already are. MAGA logic!
For those regurgitating the waste and fraud BS, the money that’s being saved from rendering citizens jobless is not coming to you. It’s going to agencies that fund Elon musks and co. You bought the lies and supported USA citizens to receive less services.
President Donald Trump’s chief faith adviser is selling seven “supernatural blessings” for Easter season gifts of $1,000 or more.
On her website and social media, televangelist Paula White has a special offer for what she calls the “Passover season” when “your obedience to align yourself with the desires of God” can “release seven specific supernatural blessings for your body, your family, your finances and your future.”
White leads the White House Faith Office and recently assembled a group of 17 evangelical pastors to pray over Trump in the Oval Office.
She bases her promise of seven blessings (for the gift of $1,000) on Exodus 23, which ironically begins with these words: “You shall not spread a false report. You shall not join hands with the wicked to act as a malicious witness. You shall not follow a majority in wrongdoing; when you bear witness in a lawsuit, you shall not side with the majority so as to pervert justice.”
And then states this in verse 9: “You shall not oppress a resident alien; you know the heart of an alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.”
White and her team of spiritual advisers have endorsed and blessed Trump as he lies and seeks to have judges impeached if they cross him, and as he rounds up legal immigrants for deportation and imprisonment.
With a portion of Exodus 23, she takes God’s promise to the Children of Israel and applies it today to those who give her $1,000 or more.
“As we read in Exodus 23, when you honor God during this Passover,” she claims, God will “assign an angel to you,” “be an enemy to your enemies,” “give you prosperity,” “take sickness away from you,” “give you a long life, “bring increase and inheritance” and “give a special year of blessing.”
All this can be yours, she says, if you bring a “Passover offering to the house of the Lord.”
Then she relates this testimony from one of her followers named Alfred: “I sowed a seed as a result of the teaching of giving during the Passover season. As a result, my unemployment benefits were restored and increased this past week. My family and I are being provided for, and spiritual blessings are evident. I believe the 7 Blessings are being manifested in me, and believe full restoration will take place in my life, career, child, and service to the Lord.”
Meanwhile, the Trump administration is seeking to cut benefits for the poorest Americans such as Alfred.
But wait, there’s more!
With your gift of $1,000 or more, White will send you a 10-inch-high Waterford cross, plus some devotionals and an “olive wood communion set from the Holy Land.”
That special set “contains unleavened bread and grape juice from the Holy Land, two beautiful olive wood communion cups” and a booklet, her advertisement says. With these items in hand, “you can join Paula in taking communion during our special Good Friday online GLOBAL communion service at noon eastern on April 18.
basilico: It does . As for educated and smart I give your assessment a grade F. His politics ,I doubt after a few months you'll see eye to eye with him. I'll be here to witness that.
basilico: If you was looking, would you ever date Ijebos?
Such an odd question . Is it so you can gauge if women would date him? In that case how’s it any concern of yours? I thought you didn’t care about such “trivial” things?
Well To answer your question. Yes I would.
He’s smart. Sounds educated. Understands what it means to care about other populations that are not in the same community as himself. My politics would align with his which means that we won’t have topics that are forbidden in the house.
Some people and their significant others don’t talk about politics because they don’t align. So to avoid tension, they skirt around important issues that can affect how they raise their kids. If I can see it, I’m sure other women can see it too.
basilico: If you get proof that he is there then?A woman might decide to carry your child?
If you didn’t want it to enter high school talk you shouldn’t have ventured there.
I don’t like when people pretend they don’t like to go low but they hand out jabs and subs frequently only to start claiming mature when it’s returned in kind.
He has a gazillion criminal offenses. I’d be surprised if there was a judge he wouldn’t feel hates him.
Criminal
basilico: Trump is also wondering how this judge was assigned the Signal case.
He agrees with me. The American justice system is rotten. ( I must be Qanon). It does appear Obama, Biden and Clinton judges are more blessed than others, they get every anti Trump case, save 2 that I can remember, they must have shaken the Hands of God.
Everything is a witch-hunt. He lacks to capacity to handle complex situations . Whenever something comes up that he needs to strategize to take care of, and he’s unable to, it becomes a witch hunt. That’s how he handled the Covid pandemic. He didn’t know what to do so he turned his base rabid by telling them it was something planned against them. It’s always everyone else’s fault but his.
ObaIgwe1: What a shame! This is the president of the most powerful nation on earth. I wonder what will be going on in the minds of other world leaders hearing Trump respond like this.
As terrible as Tinubu is, I will be dammed to see him defending such a mess like this.
Trump said it's a wintchunt ... I could hardly bear bemeruca and basilico saying this... But Trump... smh
bemeruca: The People who know what is classified and what is not TOLD US NO CLASSIFIED INFO WAS SHARED. they also can declassify documents or information.
Right. And that would be Hegseth the DUI hire who was chosen for loyalty rather than merit?
A service member is not allowed to help the enemy, Classified or not
I wish you had the ability to understand what you’re saying. If a service member can’t do this because it helps the enemy, is there any room for your logic to expand to recognizing that it’s highly incompetent for the leadership of the military to do it? I’ll leave you to digest that.
Funny that you can’t let logic guide your thinking yet you want to project being emotional onto others. Everyone so far has told you you’re letting your support for this administration to cloud your judgement and you can’t for the life of you recognize that that’s what it actually means to be emotional.
Not that emotions are bad but when you can’t use your brain as needed because you’re hung up on defending the indefensible, that’s what it means to be negatively emotional. You need to do better. Be open to learning. And stop projecting.
Also you’re not in the position to tell me anything about the military.
bemeruca: How are they trying to suppress votes? How are they removing legal voters from the register? you are just making up crap. How are they harassing people? I don't think asking for ID when you want to cast your vote is suppression of vote.
They’re finding any and all excuses to remove voters especially in areas that don’t significantly benefit them. Change of address, infrequent voting, etc they’ll remove you. None of these is a sign of someone being illegal. Yet they don’t mind creating the false narrative of illegals voting en masse.
The law requires any purge to be done at least 90 days before an election and they’re doing it sometimes a week before elections when eligible voters won’t have enough time to contest the purge.
Voter purges have significantly increased since the 2013 Supreme Court decision in Shelby v Holder opens a new window, which gutted the Voting Rights Act of 1965. States with a long history of discrimination no longer have to get permission before changing their election processes or policies. As a result, several states have engaged in voter purging under the guise of cleaning voter rolls. How many people have been purged from the rolls? The Brennan Center for Justice found that between 2014 and 2016, nearly 16 million opens a new window and between 2016 and 2018, nearly 17 million opens a new window voters were purged from the rolls. Another analysis found that between November 2020 and July 2021, over 8.6 million opens a new window voters were purged from lists. Over the last several years, tens of millions of voters have had their registration’s canceled. The rate at which voters are having their registrations canceled has jumped significantly from before 2013. Are certain people purged more than others? Voter purges disproportionately affect voters of color. While several states are engaging in voter roll purging, the purge rate is significantly higher in jurisdictions previously covered by The Voting Rights Act of 1965. In other words, state and local governments with a history of discrimination are purging voters at higher rates. Why do I need to check my registration status? Since 2013, tens of millions of voters have had their registrations canceled in voter roll purges. It is crucial that voters check their voter registration status to confirm it is active and up-to-date.
Mind you there’s information they ran by the CIA and were told not to release. probably because it’s still relevant. What’s revealed is already had enough but it’s funny you think you’re the one to tell us what’s classified and what’s not.
I’m sick of going back and forth with people like you who see things that are this obvious and try to wiggle your way into a lengthy bad faith debate because you are allergic to accepting when you are wrong.
I can tell you authoritatively that a service member who reveals this kind of information especially before the launch of the attack would be currently be locked up. And that’s not hearsay. I know this for a fact.
bemeruca: That's not a precise sequence of time. It tells when the planes launch from the carrier, but there is no precise location of where they are striking. If the information got out into the wrong hands, where would they position their air defence? When Israel attacked Iran, Iran knew the time but had no Idea where. The Houthis have already shot down at least 10 of American drones, they know the Americans are always at their airspace.
The time a jet launches from a carrier thats it. Where are the GPS coordinates? Target name or location? Or anything actionable?
Only that they are talking about future events but from what you see. What will you consider or identify as classified information? the time the plane took off?
This hinges on the sloppy execution rather than the careless violation of classified material. Jeffrey Goldberg, a fake news journalist, in the chat was a colossal OPSEC misstep. not because he’s a security threat in any sense, but because he’s an outsider with no need-to-know. His presence sparked this controversy, public leak when he reported it in The Atlantic. Signal, while not inherently wrong for unclassified talks, amplified the error. It’s a platform designed for privacy, not accountability, OPSEC demands rigorous access control and situational awareness, both of which collapsed when Goldberg entered the chat room
like I said before, Sensitive information that is not classified information was there, and that is what OPSEC is about. OPSEC matters even when the info isn’t stamped Top Secret
You don’t think the precise sequence and time of an attack is classified information? So If the information got out and into the wrong hands before the attack it wouldn’t have changed anything?
Nateev said you’re a bot. At this rate I believe him.
bemeruca: Pete Hegseth TEAM UPDATE: TIME NOW (1144et): Weather is FAVORABLE. Just CONFIRMED w/ CENTCOM we are a GO for mission launch. 1215et: F-18s LAUNCH (1st strike package) 1345: "Trigger Based" F-18 1st Strike Window Starts (Target Terrorist is @ his Known Location so SHOULD BE ON TIME) — also, Strike Drones Launch (MQ-9s) 1410: More F-18s LAUNCH (2nd strike package) 1415: Strike Drones on Target (THIS IS WHEN THE FIRST BOMBS WILL DEFINITELY DROP, pending earlier "Trigger Based" targets) 1536: F-18 2nd Strike Starts — also, first sea-based Tomahawks launched.
What part of this is a piece of classified information?
I like how The Atlantic went from WAR PLANS to ATTACK PLANS "terrorist at his know location" thats so classified ijebos
bemeruca: They are testing the waters. School PTA meetings oga, their children are there but there is a reason the NY judge struck that shit down. That is where they want to start.
It's so rare, right, but the effort to check for election integrity is fought by the left. You need ID to buy alcohol, but you don't need one to vote.
And we know for a fact that your side is not testing the waters as far as voter suppression. You’re full on suppressing any votes you think won’t go your way. Removing legal voters from the registers. Harassing people who don’t look like they “belong” in those areas. Gerrymandering districts to give less voting power to “certain communities”.
This would be embarrassing for you as an immigrant if you actually knew what you were talking about. But I know you don’t know so you think you are saying something.
I’m curious what’s going to happen now. They seem to get away with everything. Hegseth won’t do the right thing and resign. Trump won’t do the right thing and fire him.
What now?
It’s like the law, constitution and political etiquette are just words of decoration to this administration. It means nothing to them at all.
IjeBos: It's insane. They sat in Congress and outright lied. Ossoff asked them direct questions about packages and weapons systems. They all said there were none mentioned.
If you read the first response I posted, it was already stated. BTW city council and school boards is like your HOA. You can be a member of those groups and even be elected to lead to them as a non-citizen (depending on the state and county). So voting there is not the election fraud issue you guys make it out to be. You’re not embarrassed to be using city council and school board as examples of voter fraud when the LAW in those states allow them to? Therefore they’re not committing any fraud?
As far voting in federal elections, again the incidences are so rare (usually born out of ignorance on the offenders part) that you can count how many there are. And this is out of hundred of millions of voters. So let’s make it this huge bludgeoning issue and removed legal voters while we’re at it.
Do you know how many legal voters are unfairly removed from the voting registry by these people who are trying to purge “illegal” voters? Some who have legally voted in the past being removed for simply not voting frequently.
Any alarmist racially motivated attack is where they’ll find you expending all your energy and being the mouth piece of republican weirdos. I dare you to go and vote illegally since you believe it’s that easy.
bemeruca: Some Democrats in places like NYC and San Francisco have pushed to let non-citizens vote in local elections without needing ID checks, saying it’s only fair for folks who pay taxes and live there. Like, NYC tried this in 2021 and got shot down by a judge i NY
We have seen examples of non-citizens voting in the Presidential election. That is why democrats were fighting seriously against Voter ID. the Purge of noncitizens from voter rolls, and how the dems tried to block the purge etc.
IjeBos: Looks like Goldberg called their bluff. Also looked like they perjured themselves under oath. These Trumpers are the dumbest set of people.
Holy Shit!!!! If these aren't classified, these people are fuxing incompetantly nutz.
Here Are the Attack Plans That Trump’s Advisers Shared on Signal The administration has downplayed the importance of the text messages inadvertently sent to The Atlantic’s editor in chief. https://archive.is/vnPIk#selection-739.0-749.19
bemeruca: You must be a citizen to vote. Democrats are trying to make illegal immigrants and noncitizens to vote, which is why they opened the border wide open so they could get potential voters.
MAGA has really done a number on you. There’s nothing you say that is not a regurgitation of unverified maga talking points. Since you yourself are ineligible to vote (that’s if you’re even in the USA) have you tried to go to voting booth and tried for yourself to see how easy it is to vote as a non-citizen?
I know I couldn’t legally register to vote until I got my citizenship. You guys just swallow whatever lies and run with it. They create propaganda around non or rare issues and tell you it’s happening at such a scale as have never been seen before. And because you love lies, you don’t even pause to verify.
Why would anyone risk jail or possible deportation/ban from ever entering the country again just to vote? If that makes sense to you then I don’t know what to tell you. The guy that’s getting y’all riled up says he knows intuitively but can’t prove it. Ain’t that convenient.🙄
Only U.S. citizens are eligible to vote in this fall’s election for president and other top offices. While that is nothing new, the potential for noncitizens to register or vote has been receiving a lot of attention lately.
Citing an influx of immigrants in recent years at the U.S.-Mexico border, Republicans have raised concerns about the possibility that noncitizens will be voting and they have taken steps in numerous states to address that prospect, even though cases of noncitizens actually voting are rare.
GOP officials have undertaken reviews of voter rolls, issued executive orders and placed constitutional amendments on state ballots as part of an emphasis on thwarting noncitizen voting. Some Democrats contend the measures could create hurdles for legal voters, are unnecessary and lead people to believe the problem of noncitizens voting is bigger than it really is.
What does the law say?
A 1996 U.S. law makes it illegal for noncitizens to vote in elections for president or members of Congress. Violators can be fined and imprisoned for up to a year. They can also be deported.
When people register to vote, they confirm under penalty of perjury that they are U.S. citizens. Federal law requires states to regularly maintain their voter rolls and remove anyone who is ineligible, a process that could identify immigrants living in the country illegally.
No state constitutions explicitly allow noncitizens to vote, and many states have laws that prohibit noncitizens from voting for state offices such as governor or attorney general. But some municipalities in California, Maryland and Vermont, as well as the District of Columbia, do allow voting by noncitizens in some local elections such as for school board and city council.
What does the data say?
Voting by noncitizens is rare. Yet Republican officials have highlighted voter registration reviews that turned up potential noncitizens..
Although noncitizen voting already is prohibited in the state constitution, Republican Gov. Jeff Landry of Louisiana is continuing to draw attention to the issue. He recently signed an executive order requiring state agencies that provide voter registration forms to include a written disclaimer that noncitizens are prohibited from voting.
In Georgia, Raffensperger last week required every polling place to post a sign in English and Spanish warning noncitizens that it is illegal to vote.
What has Congress done?
Republicans in Congress are pushing a bill, known as the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, that would require proof of citizenship to register to vote. During a news conference about the legislation this year, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., did not provide specific examples of noncitizens voting but insisted it is a concern.
“We all know, intuitively, that a lot of illegals are voting in federal elections,” he said, “but it’s not been something that is easily provable.”
The legislation passed the Republican-led House in July largely along partisan lines but has not come to a vote in the Democratic-led Senate. The Biden administration said it is strongly opposed and that laws against noncitizen voting are working.
“This bill would do nothing to safeguard our elections, but it would make it much harder for all eligible Americans to register to vote and increase the risk that eligible voters are purged from voter rolls,” the White House said in a statement.
bemeruca: Your lies are not penetrating. Why should i be ashamed of that it is a superpower that you should have so you won't be spreading lies here upandan
So much craziness going on that this slipped under my radar. Are we sure this man is alright?
President Donald Trump suggested that the United States could join the British Commonwealth on Friday in a post to Truth Social, his social media platform.
The president shared an article from British tabloid The Sun reporting that King Charles III was making a "secret offer" to the White House, and that plans are in process for the U.S. to become an associate member of the international organization.
"I Love King Charles. Sounds good to me!" Trump wrote in response to the report.
Newsweek has reached out to the Commonwealth for comment via email Friday afternoon.
bemeruca: Not surprised as you have refused to correct yourself on the "Fine People" lie
I’m not surprised that you don’t have the ability to be embarrassed. It’s actually a super power. That way you can say anything and believe anything without feeling cringe.
Anything you guys don’t like someone saying about Trump is a lie. Look at you dancing all over the place defending nonsense .
bemeruca: Yes, the chats were sensitive; sometimes, the name of a person is regarded as sensitive and cannot be shared, but that does not mean it is classified.
This reporter hates trump, he has posted a couple of lies against the president, causing serious controversy. Thankful,y the country is tired of falling for his lies.
THE BALL IS ON HIS COURT, IT IS HIS MOVE. THEY HAVE SAID CLASSIFIED PIECES OF INFORMATION WERE NOT SHARED, SO NOTHING IS STOPPING HIM FROM RELEASING EVERYTHING.
budaatum: so as not to compromise the security of some and America, which is patriotic of him, unlike the idiots who just handed classified information to him.
nateevs: Funny enough, I think those details were shared. The reporter just cannot publish awareness of such information because he would admitting to having handled classified information, for which he has no SC and consequently, could be prosecuted.
And therefore these incompetent fools are hiding behind the safety of this event.
he actually said he saw those details. Couldn’t say what they are because of how sensitive they were
