IslamCremation- The Islamic Perspective by DaBillionnaire(op): 8:40am On May 21, 2018
Praise be to Allaah.

It must be noted that the teachings and laws of Islam came to honour people. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And indeed We have honoured the Children of Adam” [al-Israa’ 17:70]

As the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was the one who conveyed to us the laws of our Lord, he taught us what Allaah has prescribed concerning the dead, what we are permitted to do in their case and what we are not permitted to do. Hence the teachings of Islam are different from the teachings of other nations; they include treating the deceased with respect and in a manner that will benefit him.

Allaah has prescribed for us that when a Muslim dies, we should wash him and cleanse him, then shroud him in a white cloth, then we should offer the funeral prayer for him and pray for mercy and forgiveness for him. Then after that we must bury him and cover him with earth, then we should visit the graves and pray for their Muslim occupants. It is not prescribed in Islam to burn or cremate the dead, rather this is an act of disrespect and dishonour. Islam forbids us to step, walk or sit on the grave of the deceased, so how could we burn him? Even non-Muslims are to be buried according to Islam, and this is what the Muslims do in the case of kuffaar who die in their countries, but the kuffaar are not buried with the Muslims in the same place. Some of the kuffaar may burn their dead because they do not believe in the Last Day.

For this reason it is not permitted to burn the dead; rather it is obligatory to bury the dead. And Allaah knows best.

Foreign AffairsNorth Korea Threatens To Cancel US Summit by DaBillionnaire(op): 3:51pm On May 17, 2018
North Korea threatened Wednesday to cancel the forthcoming summit between leader Kim Jong Un and President Donald Trump if Washington seeks to push Pyongyang into unilaterally giving up its nuclear arsenal.
It also cancelled high-level talks due Wednesday with Seoul over the Max Thunder joint military exercises being held between the United States and South Korea, denouncing the drills as a "rude and wicked provocation".
It is a sudden and dramatic return to the the rhetoric of the past by Pyongyang, after months of rapid diplomatic rapprochement on the peninsula.

"If the US is trying to drive us into a corner to force our unilateral nuclear abandonment, we will no longer be interested in such dialogue," first vice foreign minister Kim Kye Gwan said in a statement carried by state media.
In that case, he added, Pyongyang would have to "reconsider" its participation at the summit, due in Singapore on June 12.
The North's arsenal is expected to be at the top of the agenda of the historic talks, but Pyongyang has long insisted it needs the weapons to defend itself against invasion by the US.
Washington is pressing for its complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearisation. But so far the North has not given any public indication of what concessions it is offering, beyond euphemistic commitments to denuclearisation of the "Korean peninsula".
Pyongyang had "made clear on several occasions that precondition for denuclearisation is to put an end to anti-DPRK hostile policy and nuclear threats and blackmail of the United States", minister Kim said.
In the past, Pyongyang has demanded the withdrawal of the US troops stationed in the South to protect it from its neighbour, and an end to Washington's nuclear umbrella over its security ally.
The minister also blasted US National Security Advisor John Bolton's talk of a "Libyan model" for North Korean denuclearisation.
It was a "sinister move to impose on our dignified state the destiny of Libya or Iraq", he said. "I cannot suppress indignation at such moves of the US, and harbour doubt about the US sincerity."
The North has long said it needs nuclear weapons to protect itself against a US invasion. After giving up his atomic programme, Libyan leader Moamer Khadafi was killed in an uprising backed by NATO bombing.
Minister Kim also dismissed offers by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo -- who has visited Pyongyang twice in recent weeks, coming back the second time with three released US detainees - for US economic aid if the North denuclearises.
"We have never had any expectation of US support in carrying out our economic construction and will not at all make such a deal in future," Kim said.

Tightrope diplomacy
In recent weeks, as well as an eye-catching summit with the South's leader last month in the Demilitarized Zone, Kim has twice met Chinese President Xi Jinping and Pyongyang has announced it will destroy its nuclear testing site next week.
Analysts said Pyongyang was now trying to redefine the terms of the debate.
"It's a diplomatic tactic," Kim Hyun-wook, professor at the Korea National Diplomatic Academy, told AFP, calling it "brinkmanship to change the US position".
"It looks like Kim Jong Un was pushed into accepting US demands for 'denuclearisation-first' but is now trying to change its position after normalising North Korea-China relations and securing economic assistance," he added.
"The classic North Korean tightrope diplomacy between the US and China has begun."
US officials have repeatedly claimed credit for Washington's "maximum pressure" policy for bringing Pyongyang to the negotiating table.
Joshua Pollack of the Middlebury Institute for International Studies said Pyongyang had been irritated by the "triumphalist tone".
"The North Koreans aren't happy with what they're seeing and hearing," he said. "There is still a yawning gulf between expectations for diplomacy in Pyongyang and Washington, DC."

Thunderstruck
Earlier KCNA denounced the Max Thunder joint military exercises being held between the US and South Korea as a "rude and wicked provocation", and Seoul said it had received a message cancelling planned high-level talks "indefinitely".
The two-week drills started last Friday and involves some 100 aircraft from the two allies, including F-22 stealth fighter jets.
Pyongyang's move was "regrettable", said unification ministry spokesman Baik Tae-hyun, adding it "contradicts the fundamental spirit and purpose of the Panmunjom Declaration".
Hostilities in the 1950-53 Korean War stopped with a ceasefire, leaving the two halves of the peninsula divided by the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and still technically at war.
The North has spent decades developing its atomic arsenal and missiles capable of reaching the US, earning itself multiple rounds of UN Security Council resolutions, while Trump and Kim traded personal insults and threats of war last year.
Relations underwent a sudden turnaround as Moon used February's Winter Olympics in the South to broker talks between Washington and Pyongyang.
Washington said it will continue to plan the meeting in Singapore on June 12, with State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert telling reporters it had received "no notification" of a position change by North Korea.
The exercises were "not provocative" and would continue, she added.

THE POWER OF INTEGRITY

He snubbed Angela Markel in White House; refusing to shake her hands in oval office.
He shocked President Al Sisi of Egypt. Told him point blank in WH that he will cut aid to Egypt.
He called North Korean leader Kim Jung Un , the 'Rocket Man'.
He has chastised President Putin. Heaping sanctions on his close associates.
He called out Theresa May of Britain.
He criticised China and her leaders. He took a risk of trade war with China.
He called Mexicans rapist , drug peddlers and unsavoury names. Even plans to build a wall.
He fought American footballers who refused to honour their anthem.
He is fighting the largest media platform, CNN.
He is fighting establishments in US; FBI, CIA, JUDICIARY etc.
He knocked NATO allies. Threatened Iran. Shot into Syria.
He fights with his appointees if needs be.
He called black Americans 'LAZY' before his elections.
He called African nations 'shithole'.
He is not afraid to tell it to u , no matter who u are because he is the POTUS. He says it exactly the way it is, snubs, Bullshits even world leaders.
He rarely gives compliments
BUT
when he met President Buhari, everything changed. He was so excited that he could not control it. To d extent that he was even longing for a 'selfie'/ close shot, smiling to the camera. Meaning it was deliberate. Gave PMB d full presidential compliments he has hardly given any other leader since assuming office.
He didn't stop there, he went on and on with eternal compliments.
Buhari became a Rock star to him.
WHYhuh?
The honour and unusual integrity , dedication and commitment of a black man.
Finally he said, " I have tremendous respect for President Buhari.....Buhari is a honest & great leader Africa has produced ....For your sake, I will like to visit Nigeria pretty soon."

He also called him the No. 1 President of Africa.

Keep your honour. It will speak for u someday.

If the Hater's hero can say this about my President , why should I attempt to support or vote another.

It took a 75 year old President to attract such an honour to Nigeria. What far younger ones couldn't do for years. It is an honour for us all; all Nigerians not for PMB alone.

Buhari Again 2019.

Proudly Nigerian.

Saraki knows he can't become president so he has to retain the position of senate president. to achieve this he needs to talk to the right people.

as for BUhari,

Tinubu may help Buhari win the primaries but abandon him after that, and then campaign against him so as to prevent him winning the election and thereby crushing his second term hopes.

Car TalkTruck Lovers: Get Ready For The 2019 Ford F-150 by DaBillionnaire(op): 1:16pm On Apr 26, 2018
Model Preview

Following its 2015 redesign, the F-150 went through a few significant powertrain updates for 2017 and 2018. When the 2019 F-150 arrives, though, we don’t expect to see any noteworthy changes.

As a carryover model, no major updates are expected for the 2019 F-150’s looks. We could see a few new colors added and maybe some trim updates, but nothing is confirmed yet. Inside, we expect much of the same, as the F-150 should continue with its functional and comfortable cabin that can get downright luxurious in higher trims.

With no changes in the works, we also expect the 2019 F-150’s list of standard features to remain the same. If this proves true, we expect it to include 17-inch wheels, manual windows, vinyl floors, an AM/FM radio, manual locks, air conditioning, and a tilt and telescoping steering wheel.

While those features may sound overly simple, buyers must keep in mind that the lower-trimmed F-150s are aimed at work use, not pleasure. To get into the more passenger-focused F-150s, buyers may want to start from the XLT trim.

Under the 2019 F-150’s hood, we expect its plethora of ever-changing engines to remain the same. If this proves to be the case, the base engine will remain the new-for-2018 3.3-liter V6 with 290 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque.
2018 Ford F-150

The next step up is a revised-for-2018 2.7-liter turbocharged V6 with 325 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. Moving up to the 5.0-liter V8 gets you 395 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque.

Finally, the 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 has two power levels: 375 hp and 470 lb-ft in standard models, and 450 hp and 510 lb-ft in the beastly Raptor. Every engine except the base V6 pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission – the base 3.3-liter keeps things old-school with its six-speed automatic.

Pickup trucks are notoriously terrible in IIHS safety tests, but the current Ford F-150 is a rare exception, earning Top Safety Pick honors both in its extended-cab and crew-cab configurations. It nearly hit the Top Safety Pick+ mark, but its “Poor” headlight tests knocked it down a notch. One thing to keep in mind is that this IIHS Top Safety Pick rating is with optional automatic emergency braking. We expect these ratings to all remain the same for 2019.
Pricing & Release Date

We expect the 2019 F-150’s production to kick off in October, which would put it on pace for a late-fall or early-winter arrival in showrooms.

Because there are no changes in store for the 2019 F-150, we expect its pricing to remain close to the 2018 model, which ranges from $29,100 to $65,670 (destination fees included).
