BrighterSyde: As much as I like some of what trump is doing this is the one of the most nonsensical things I’ve seen him do/approve. This is what I’d expect of third world leaders. Not someone like him. Even with all the rubbish you have done you still stoop this low?
Low has always been Trump. The lowest. The filthiest. Downright classless gutter dirt. That's Trump.
BrighterSyde: Is still take this over a religion that wants to behead everyone who is not Muslim and says it is ok to grape women as long as they are not Muslims.
But that's a statue of a rapist and a man who says it's okay to gripe women.
benalvino3: You are the ones making the argument that white people need to give black people something because of their skin color.
But if you want to look at this closely, you can go to Harvard enrollment data.
You can see that they are enrolling unqualified students because they are black.
This is nothing new.
Harvard never admitted unqualified students, period.
Question: does Harvard enroll unqualified students because they are black?
Gemini:
The question of whether Harvard admits "unqualified" students based on race is a central point of debate in American law and education. However, it is important to clarify how the admissions process works and how it has changed following the 2023 Supreme Court ruling.
1. The Legal Status of Race in Admissions As of June 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) v. Harvard that race-conscious admissions programs are unconstitutional.
The Ruling: Harvard and other universities are now prohibited from using race as a standalone factor or "plus factor" in the admissions process.
The Result: Harvard's data for the Class of 2028 and 2029 shows a significant drop in Black student enrollment (falling from roughly 18% in 2023 to 11.5% by 2025). This suggests that without the ability to consider race, fewer Black students are being admitted under the current criteria.
2. "Qualified" vs. "Unqualified" In elite admissions, the term "qualified" is often misunderstood. Harvard receives approximately 50,000 to 60,000 applications for roughly 2,000 spots.
The Baseline: Harvard officials have testified that the vast majority of their applicants—upwards of 15,000 to 20,000—are "fully qualified" academically, meaning they have the grades and test scores to succeed at the university.
Holistic Review: Because there are far more qualified students than seats, Harvard uses "holistic review." This considers factors beyond grades, such as leadership, artistic talent, geography, socioeconomic status, and (previously) race.
The Myth of "Unqualified": Evidence from court trials indicates that students admitted through diversity initiatives still met high academic thresholds. They were chosen from the pool of "qualified" candidates to help create a diverse learning environment, rather than being "unqualified" students jumping over "qualified" ones.
3. Other Preferences (Legacy and Donors) While the debate often focuses on race, critics and legal experts point out that Harvard also grants preferences to other groups:
Legacy Applicants: Children of alumni.
Dean’s Interest List: Children of major donors.
Athletes: Recruited students for sports teams.
Studies presented during the SFFA trial suggested that these groups—which are statistically more likely to be white and wealthy—often receive a much larger "tip" in the admissions process than racial minorities ever did.
Westman001: How does that even make sense? There's extortion in this whole fuel pricing in Nigeria. Because it's not even economically making sense.
Tinubu made everything worse. I'm still saying it and it's just the fact. The way he came about the removal of fuel subsidy gave room for those cabals to extort the nation. They were the one that decided what the price would be and it was over 200% raise.
Cos tell me, it wasn't like that when Jonathan removed it. It was Jonathan and his cabinet that decided the price. It was from like #65 to #120 then. They carried out proper feasibility study, came up with a price for the whole nation, Jonathan came out and announced that the fuel subsidy has been removed and this is the new price.
But Tinubu, without not even entering the office, announced the price before sitting with his cabinet. The cabal used that opportunity and gave us an extortionist pricing . Different price for different zone. Everything scatter.
What Tinubu has caused this country would take decades to amend
His handling of it was shoddy and thoughtless to say the least.
basilico: I don't know what happened about the 170 girls.. In a war mistakes are made and collateral damage happens. I however chose not to believe Muslim armies in any of their wars. Be they fighting amongst themselves.
Even aside from the blatant contradiction between line one and line two above, if line two is not self indictment, I dont know what else is.
tctrills: A merciful God to you is one that takes away all infirmity, pain and sickness and establishes a perfect world right?
The moment we feel pain or suffer weather in old age or as youths, he is no longer merciful right?
Let's start with understanding your premises
Let it sink in. I am done with you. I cannot continue to have discussions of such seriousness and gravity with one who has been recently exposed in the way you have been, and who refuses to recant from that hideous position he was exposed in.
bayelsaowei: Someone who said J6 is a fedsurrection. Blamed every other person other than Trump and the actual insurrectionists.
I feel sad for him and maybe his children.
Its really the children of these people and possibly even grand children one must worry about. Let us keep them in our prayers, that they will be found among the rare who are able to resist the foul doctrines of their parents.
basilico: I've said it was likely an accident. Roger This.
Pilot/Gunner: "I have eyes on the [target description] at grid [coordinates]. I have one technical vehicle with a mounted weapon. Note: Two non-combatant structures within 50 meters—possible COLAT if we use Hellfire." Ground Commander: "Roger, Crazy Horse. We need that technical neutralized. Can you utilize 30mm for a tighter grouping?" Pilot/Gunner: "Copy. Transitioning to 30 mil. I have a clear field of fire. COLAT risk is low with the cannon. Request permission to engage." Ground Commander: "Clear to engage. Watch for civilians in the structure to the north."
That's how modern militaries operate. Iranians have no word like COLAT.
What about taking responsibility for an accident then? Where is that? ? ? ? ? Besides you have not even studied the details of the incident. Its obvious.
That compound used to be part of a military facility more than a decade ago. The maps were changed to long ago to reflect that it is a school now.
Yet the most advanced military in the world with the most advanced AI, GPS and tracking systems of the most advanced country in the world failed to note that more than a decade later.
If it was Iran that did this, we both know what you would be parroting.
Have some shame.
No one is at "your level" indeed. How pathetically laughable.
basilico: And you think I care. I am posting less and less nowadays . I don't need this site as my bookmark references because chatbots are also able to extract the info I need anytime.
I said in 2021 that I'll have the last laugh when everything I post here is proven true. Take that to the bank.
You got a long way to catch up with me .A long way. We are not at the same level.
Bwahahahahahahahaha! From a clown who cannot read anything remotely academic!
Go and sit down. That "level" you are in ecstasies about is a vacant vain thoughtless unschooled place worthy only of vomit.
i have been a nasty unpleasant prick when i was ascendant so i fear others becoming ascendant because by the law of karma they will do the same to me
also every alien invasion movie which is a metaphor for colonialism where a technologically advanced race believes that advancement gives them the rights to the resources and land of less advanced races
I almost feel like doing a voice note to convey my raw emotions.
The way white supremacists believe it is right for white people to seize other people's land is something to be studied because one needs to listen to the words they use up till today to justify this. Such as saying that Native Americans didn't know how to use the land.
basilico: With Epstein none of you will answer why democrat who have seen the unredacted records by DOJ have not said a word. Democrats who spend 24/7 vilifying Trump when not trying to murder him have said zero about what's in those unredacted files. Zero. A common sense answer is they found nothing and are using Epstein to win the midterms. Ask your congress rep what the saw. Whatever you posted are just accusations not backed by any evidence. Virginia Giuffrey was working at Mar a Lago when Ghislaine Maxwell approached her . Ghislaine approached so many girls including in public parks .She was the top recruiter.
Stop peddling this lie that any democrat has seen the full unredacted files.
cococandy: @bold no idc. I’m indifferent what race is the majority. Life will shift and move as it does. Historically it’s happened that way. Especially in America. They left from Europe to America and took over someone else’s land. That was hundreds of years ago. And in hundreds of years, life will correct that.
My question to you is why do you care? You’re laughing at the Britons. Why? Do you think your kind is a disease and curse? And Therefore a bad thing?
Do you look in the mirror and think you’re somehow a scourge because of your skin color and people deserve to be laughed at if you move to be among them? Are you okay? I want to understand how you see yourself in all these and why it’s your business.
basilico: You must be out of your mind. What military hardware is in an oil depot. In a hotel. At an airport . Oil tankers transiting the Straits . Merchant ships . Over 90% or more of their drones and missiles have been stopped. Their cluster munitions ballistic missiles that splits into 60 20Kg munitions targeting civilians. They sponsor Hezbollah and Hamas which fire rockets and missiles at civilians. Damage to many Israel residential apartments has been gleefully posted here. The Israel civilian casualties are minimal because their govt developed an early warning system and built bunkers. If Israel didn't have bunkers how many of them would have died.
Since 2001, Palestinian militants in Gaza have fired over 50,000 rockets and mortars. Pre-2005 Gaza Withdrawal (2001–2005): ~2,000 rockets. 2008-2009 Gaza War (Operation Cast Lead): ~1,000 rockets. 2012 Operation Pillar of Defense: ~1,500 rockets. 2014 Operation Protective Edge: ~4,800 rockets. 2021 Operation Guardian of the Walls: ~4,400 rockets. Oct 2023–Present (Operation Swords of Iron): ~19,000+ rockets from Gaza. 2006 Second Lebanon War (Hezbollah): ~4,200 rockets. Oct 2023–Early 2026 (Hezbollah): ~12,000+ rockets and drones. March 2026 Escalation (Hezbollah): ~5,000+ rockets.
Madness. Iran was retaliating. You will support Israel to commit genocide but in your mind Iranian retaliation is forbidden.
Of course you will never say anything about terrible incidents such as 170 school girls being killed in Iran. By the USA.
Rep. Nancy Mace @RepNancyMace • 13h There is no place on this earth for those who rape children. We introduced the Death Penalty for Child Rapists Act to make sure those who prey on our most vulnerable face the harshest consequence we can deliver. Child rapists don't get second chances. They get the death
I doubt the very evil democrats will support this bill. I'll watch Huw it goes.
That should bring you to my level. Deepsight, bayelsaowei too.
I repeat, no educated, enlightened and sane person wants to sink to your level.
Cococandy has said it all. It Even if the guy admitted it himself you would say he is joking. And this is the depressing thing about you guys. There is no amount of evidence that is suitable.
Don't think for a second that you are taken seriously. I and other sane folk see you lot as a joke.
LordReed: Bro we need the god to turn one of those prosperity preachers into a pillar of salt in front his church cameras. Not all this ancient fairytales. He should it live on broadcast let's all see it.
O thou wicked soul, who feareth not the Lord of wonders.
BreakingNews21: Oga Bas, if you've been following the events the Iranians have been targeting military hardware and strategic sites and not the wholesale slaughtering of human beings. Never forget Don and his sidekick Benjamin target civilians and school children.
The said basilico is one of the most unreasonable posters you can come across on this matter.
cococandy: Mind you Doctors King-if he existed today would’ve been mocked by them for being an activist. They use the word activist like it’s a slur but somehow want to use his name for political cheap trills when it suits them.
Biggest clowns ever 😅
We dont need to wait for such a speculative scenario - Charlie Kirk already mocked and insulted MLK and they defended him for doing so.
420Explorer: Our women have gone to the dogs. Back then, we used to want only ajebo girls cos we felt they were classy. The soft feminism of a woman was valued. The razz girls then were shunned. Even being promiscuous was enough to tag a babe razz. But the razz girls eventually won in 2026 . Cos even the soft beautiful ones began to idolize being razz. Now gutter girls are the ones on podcasts telling us what women want or not want. Back then girls had to hide to be hoes. These days, hoes are the symbol of womanhood. The agenda by the global elite to sexualize women in the name of feminism is inevitably backfiring cos no one wants to marry anymore. They are all recycled women all over the place. Some even have 5 exes. Poverty has elevated the hoes. It's now a hoeflation. Men have failed to be fathers. Marrying narcissists who mass produce hoes on an industrial scale leading to a spike in hoeflation. We need our values back. I won't want to raise a daughter who will inevitably become a product of a hoeflation. Back then even our uncles and aunties used to sneak. There was shame. Not anymore. A friend in Dubai even told me that a lot of Nigerian IG models eat shit for cash. These days are worse than Sodom. We all like sex but to be honest I never expected a world where we would be so shameless about sexual behaviour. A generation of tiktok hoes and yahoo boys are the ones who will take Nigeria back from BAT? I'm just laughing. Do you know that EndSars protest was more of a quickie fest and hookup ground? I realized it was just a protest by yahoo boys and Thier hook up babe girlfriends. I was there. The Moniepoint CEO was right. We are an aimless society who idolizies hoes and criminals. We are sold western celebrity culture but a trip to the western world will reveal that the sexual culture they sell to gullible Africans is not a generally accepted way of life. The black woman has become the symbol of perversion.
Interesting. Your last line is wrong. No race can compete with Caucasians for sexual perversity and depravity of every kind.
Go to Agege in Lagos state that is on the outskirts and has some of the bottom barrels living standards in Lagos. The roads in Agege streets are in top tier condition and will compete with what even many states capital roads and streets can deliver.
Comparing Lagos to other states is just a dishonest comparison. The advantage Lagos has is far far ahead than any other state. You can put a clueless governor in Lagos and it wouldn't make much difference cos the system just works for itself. What people might be complaining of could be for better living standards or better business climate.
While most people in the state won't be complaining for better roads or infrastructure, they might be complaining for congestion free roads, less public waste and less prone to flooding neighborhoods. Quite different reality for someone who might be in Calabar, Oshogbo, Ilorin.
Well said generally but Calabar is unique for its serenity and old colonial feel.
LordReed: Yes I know of that but what specific revelations evidence the presence of outer space aliens.
Well there is nothing in terms of outrightly saying that it's extra terrestrials but from the time the videos of the Nimitz incident came out the government has been generally in less denial. Those craft which were plainly seen and videoed from a fighter jet which took off from the USS Nimitz have no known earthly explanation. The best that can be said is that perhaps it's secret military technology but most experts say nothing like that is known to Earth.
Two other famous Navy UFO videos, "Gimbal" and "GoFast," were recorded about a decade later (2014–2015) by pilots stationed on the USS Theodore Roosevelt.
Generally however the US govt seems to have softened in it's denials and appears to be moving towards gradually making it known to the population that it's a reality.
basilico: What's the end game for liberals. Judge freed this thug despite prosecutors telling him not to, this thug ends up murdering a police officer
CHICAGO JUDGE JOHN LYKE IGNORED PROSECUTORS AND FREED CAREER CRIMINAL WITH 7 FELONIES — NOW ACCUSED OF MURDERING POLICE OFFICER
Calls are ramping up to impeach and hold liable Chicago Judge John Lyke after he released a known dangerous criminal who then allegedly killed a police officer.
“The judge said NO!” the report highlighted. “The judge was convinced he changed his ways.”
Alfonso Talley had seven previous felonies, including armed robbery and using a gun to carjack a woman. He was already facing four separate violent crime charges and had three outstanding warrants, including for violating electronic monitoring.
“Prosecutors told Cook County Circuit Judge John Lyke that Talley should be kept behind bars until his trials,” the report stated. “But the judge said no.”
Citing Illinois’ no-cash-bail law and the state’s safety act, Judge Lyke released him anyway. Talley was later arrested for robbing a dollar store and pistol-whipping a female employee before shooting Chicago police officer Bartholomew.
What was the point of releasing a dangerous felon. There are many judges who have done the same. Time they were held responsible. This be similar to a bartender serving a drunk with alcohol who then goes ahead and commits a road accident. If this was in Wakanda, you'd know bribes were exchanged.
TemporaryHansel: The other states are too far behind. Infact, Lagos is more than 500 years ahead of some states in the country.
As for your point about the strategic development Lagos received, perhaps if the other states weren't looting theirs with reckless abandon while not keeping anything tangible for development, they wouldn't be so far off? The ND states for example, which excuse do they want to give??
Almost every country has an economic nerve centre and Lagos is that to Nigeria, it is also its former Federal Capital. There is no basis for comparimg it to ANY other state. None.
GloriousGbola: you and i will not agree on this and let us leave it at that
i am a realist and i do not expect an utopia to suddenly materialize
i also do not expect a unicorn who will change nigeria overnight
some of the progress i celebrate in lagos today was started 10 years ago and encountered multiple setbacks before eventually being delivered
within nigerias system today and in the world in general you have to be a politican, a negotiator, a deal maker , an administrator to get things done.
i celebrate obj for the reforms of his tenure but obj was not a saint either.
in personal life i am rigid and i have repeatedly sacrificed good for perfect -
if your believe peter obi who was also a nigerian governor who was hated until some youths decided to brand him as somehow different from his fellow governors, then its all good
I am not a Peter-Obi-ist oh. Why must everyone assume this once a person criticizes BAT?
I understand of course that we will not agree. But what I expect is being able to criticize even the person you support. In short, not being like the Trumpists who are unable to criticize Trump. The appointment of Atiku Bagudu is indefensible for example. And things like that betray the real mindset of predators.
As regards your realism I have spotted it miles away, and I actually appreciate it.
