White rice sprinkled with left over Sweet corn + Goat meat in sauce( asun)

I didn't know they now sell goat met in sauce and ófada sauce in superstores.

I bought the goat meat sauce for ₦950 at the store. It was well prepared and well packaged. The only downside to it is the fact that the pepper in it was not enough to the extent of having running nose

Please which store did you buy the goat meat sauce from?

Fact: Millions of black Americans will be voting for Trump in November! As for you liberal losers that chose to be on the Democratic party losing team, your sweet liberal tears will be delicious to us in November. We enjoyed it four years ago and we will enjoy those delicious tears once again this year.

Not so sure that African Americans will be turning out in large numbers to vote for Trump according to the article below. Also a large percentage of the recently unemployed are people in ethnic minorities demographics. How unemployed can be greatly reduced within 5 months to the election day will be a tall order.

Trump team searches for a strategy to aid voters of color ahead of November -
The president’s team built a comprehensive 2020 reelection plan around winning a slice of black and Hispanic voters. The coronavirus pandemic is making that especially tough.

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/05/15/trump-coronavirus-vulnerable-communities-261216

Almost a month ago, as the coronavirus exacted an outsized toll on vulnerable groups across America, President Donald Trump turned to an under-the-radar White House council to quickly determine how the federal government “can best support minority and distressed communities.”

Little has come of it. The White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council, repurposed by Trump on April 22 to confront the pandemic’s disproportionate damage to communities of color, is still assembling proposals to reduce racial health disparities that have been magnified by the coronavirus outbreak, according to four people familiar with the planning.

Nearly three months into the pandemic, administration officials are still trying to formulate a comprehensive plan for helping minority communities — particularly African Americans and Latinos — hit disproportionately hard by the virus. The mounting concerns about inaccessible testing and high hospitalization rates are highlighting a gaping hole in Trump’s pandemic response — worries that also threaten to ricochet through the president’s 2020 reelection operation six months out from Election Day.

# FOR EMPHASIS

Crazy Nancy and her lunatic Democrat House caucus just passed a $3 TRILLION "stimulus"

The bill gives cash payments to illegals, releases nearly all ICE detainees and creates amnesty for illegal aliens in the country

36 million Americans out of work

And Democrats only care about illegals

Despicable!!

This is what makes the USA a great nation on earth, looking after the well being of everyone regardless of their history.

Check for emphasis, most European nations passed stimulus plans for everyone including granting amnesty for illegal immigrants.

There are millions of black Americans that are very comfortable with Trump and will be voting for him in November, the rest of you brainwashed liberal lunatics can go pound sand.

Why is it that anyone that doesn't trust or follow Trump's ideas and logic is labelled a 'liberal' by people like yourself - paid trolls from Accra.

Are you going to tag Williard Mitt Romney, Republican US Senator from Utah a 'liberal' because he voted against Trump at the impeachment hearing.

I can guarantee you that in the next elections in November, Trump will not get millions of African-Americans voting for him, maybe less than 5m (just been generous).

Also with the way he has been talking bad about China, Asia-Americans who mostly are independents will surely not be voting Trump.

Moving along, Latino-Americans will not be voting in large numbers for him also because Trump has really offended them by calling them names (maybe the Cuban exiles in Florida will give him some votes).

Then we have the 'Real Republicans', who are not happy with how Trump came from nowhere had taken over the party will not be voting for him too. These people are the real moneybags.

His huge support comes from the Tea Party section of the GOP which metamorphised to the present day MAGAs. These are the people who filled his rally.

So think next time, think carefully before you label anyone who comment against your Supreme Dear Leader Trump, as a 'liberal'.

Blackfriday:
where do you pull ur data from?

As of April 2020 Gallup poll shows

31% of Americans are identified as Democrats

30% are identified as Republicans and

36% as independents

Since his swearing in as POTUS, Trump have not had a good rating among independents and funny as it is, they are the one who decides who become POTUS.

The independents which cuts across different age groups are so powerful when it comes to election time in the US.

With the way Trump has being doing lately, he has lost quite a number of independents and he hasn't increased his base among the Republicans too.

KUSHNER AND FLYNN MEET WITH KISLYAK

https://themoscowproject.org/collusion/kushner-flynn-meet-kislyak/

Kushner and Flynn meet with Kislyak in Trump Tower, reportedly discussing the possibility of establishing back-channel communications between the White House and the Kremlin.. Later in the month, Kislyak requests another meeting with Kushner, who sends his proxy, Avraham Berkowitz, instead. At Kislyak’s request, Kushner then meets with Sergei Gorkov, the chief executive of Vnesheconombank, a Russian state-owned bank currently under U.S. sanctions.

Donald Trump’s former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn pleaded guilty on Friday, December 1, 2017 to lying to the F.B.I. regarding his previous contacts with the Russian ambassador. Though Mueller indicted Flynn for his contacts with Russia during the transition, Flynn’s history of foreign ties long predates Trump’s presidential run.

In 2013, while Flynn was the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, he took a delegation to Moscow “to speak to a group of officers from the G.R.U., Russia’s intelligence agency, about leadership development.” Although the C.I.A.’s chief of Russia operations at the time voiced concerns and skepticism about this controversial trip, Flynn told The Washington Post that he had a “great trip,” even bragging about being “the first U.S. officer ever allowed inside the headquarters of the G.R.U.” Flynn tried to go back for a second trip and invited G.R.U. officers to come to the U.S., but “permission was denied.”

In February 2014, six months before the Obama administration fired Flynn, he traveled to Cambridge University as the head of D.I.A. to speak at the Cambridge Intelligence Seminar, an organization that last year was hit with allegations of being open to “unacceptable Russian influence,” leading a group of intelligence experts—including the former head of MI-6—to cut ties with the group. He also met with a Russian-British national Svetlana Lokhova and he subsequently remained in email contact with Lokhova, an “expert on Soviet intelligence in the 1930s.” The Wall Street Journal reported that, according to U.S. intelligence rules, Flynn should have disclosed his interactions with Lokhova, but he failed to do so. (As the Guardian has reported, “there is no suggestion that Lokhova has ever worked with or for any of the Russian intelligence agencies.”)

These events did not escape the notice of the U.S. intelligence community, which increasingly grew wary of Flynn’s foreign contacts. The Guardian reported that “multiple sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the C.I.A. and F.B.I. were discussing this episode, along with many others, as they assessed Flynn’s suitability to serve as national security adviser.” Flynn was reportedly bitter and angry when he was eventually pushed out of the D.I.A. in August 2014. He subsequently became a contributor to RT, where he “often [argued] that the U.S. and Russia should be working more closely together on issues like fighting ISIL and ending Syria’s civil war.”

Just a few months before he began advising Donald Trump on his presidential campaign, Flynn was paid “approximately forty thousand dollars” to give a talk at an RT Gala, where he a table with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his chief of staff, Sergei Ivanov. Viktor Vekselberg, who later came under scrutiny for his ties to Wilbur Ross, also attended the event, along with future Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein. Julian Assange appeared at the gala via videotape. Flynn reportedly accepted money from other Russian companies as well, including $11,250 for a speaking engagement for Kaspersky Lab, a Russian cybersecurity company with alleged ties to the Kremlin (the company has denied these ties.)

Flynn has also developed a relationship with the Turkish government. In 2015 and 2016, the Flynn Intel Group, which Flynn established after leaving the D.I.A., was hired to lobby on behalf of Turkish interests by Ekim Alptekin, a Turkish businessman with close ties to Kremlin-connected former energy executive Dmitri ‘David’ Zaikin (Zaikin has denied knowing Alptekin and denied any involvement in Flynn’s Turkish lobbying efforts.) Alptekin has denied that Flynn’s work for him had anything to do with the Turkish government, and has denied any wrongdoing in this matter. Flynn’s lobbying on behalf of Turkey represented a reversal; although he had previously criticized Erdoğan, he wrote an op-ed the day of the 2016 election for The Hill that hailed Turkey as the U.S.’ “strongest ally” against ISIS. Flynn’s pro-Turkish views soon translated into policy implementation, as he later “[blocked] the [U.S.’] plan to arm the Syrian Kurds” as part of the United States’ efforts to combat ISIS. This plan had encountered heavy opposition from the Turkish government, which has been in a conflict with Kurds for decades (it was only after Flynn’s dismissal that the Trump administration took steps to arm the Kurds.) Flynn’s opposition raised questions about whether his lobbying work was affecting his policy decisions, and whether he was “acting on behalf of a foreign nation.”

Despite the red flags surrounding Flynn, his role within the Trump team only continued to grow. President Obama warned Trump about hiring Flynn as National Security Advisor in November 2016, and Flynn himself disclosed to the Trump transition team that he was under federal investigation due to his previous work lobbying for Turkish interests in January 2017. Nonetheless, he was soon sworn in as a national security adviser in late January 2017. During his short tenure, he worked to push a “Middle East Marshall Plan” to build civilian nuclear power plants with Russia throughout the Middle East, which would have “required lifting sanctions on Russia.”

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/05/secrets-flynn-lied-conceal/611377/

On December 29, 2016, however, the Obama administration did at last announce punitive sanctions on Russia.

The imminence of these sanctions triggered a flurry of communications between the Russian government and the Trump campaign. The Russian ambassador to the United States, Sergey Kislyak, reached out to Flynn on December 28. Flynn was vacationing in the Dominican Republic, but on December 29, he spoke multiple times with Kislyak.

On December 30, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Russia would not respond to the sanctions. That same day, Trump tweeted his thanks: “Great move on delay (by V. Putin) - I always knew he was very smart!” Another round of calls followed between Flynn and Kislyak.

Intel chief releases info on ‘unmasking’ of Flynn to Capitol Hill

Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell on Wednesday sent top Republican senators a list of former senior Obama administration officials who might have been involved in efforts that “unmasked” former national security adviser Michael Flynn — including former Vice President Joe Biden.

The release comes amid a furious campaign by President Donald Trump and his allies to accuse former President Barack Obama and his top deputies of illegally targeting the Trump campaign and the incoming Trump administration. In recent days, the president has coined the term “Obamagate” to accuse his predecessor of seeking to undermine him and target his top associates — though he has struggled to articulate or prove any specific wrongdoing.

Grenell sent the list, which includes former officials who made “unmasking” requests that might have identified Flynn, to Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) a day after the lawmakers wrote to Grenell and Attorney General William Barr calling on them to release information about efforts by Obama administration officials to “unmask” U.S. citizens who were subject to government surveillance.

The list, obtained by POLITICO, also includes high-level officials such as former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former FBI Director James Comey, and former White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough. Thirty-nine people in total are listed, ranging from White House officials to diplomats and Treasury Department officials. Grenell declassified the list last week.

At last the 'Obamagate' President Trump is talking about. It's time to issue subpeona on Obama, Biden, and all the people involved.

You might not believe how right I hope you are. I just hope trumpout is not seen as a foregone conclusion despite the 85,000+ dead and over 30 millions unemployed.

I just been over at Breitbart where the reasoning is Democrats hired Fauci to shut down the economy to disadvantage trump. And while I think conspiracy theory believing Breibartians are a minority, I'm not quite convinced they are.

Of course to most MAGAs, Dr Fauci will be set up as the fall guy who damage the economy for Trump. They will carry the theory that he is working with the democrats.

Trump keeps blaming Obama for the pandemic health supplies, but what Trump doesn't want to address is that he has made bad decision which have led to the death of more than 80,000 people and almost 30m unemployed affecting businesses.

Nobody gives a damn about what slimy douchebags like Comey and McCabe thinks. They should be packing their bags and getting ready to spend a long time behind bars by the time Special Prosecutor John Durham brings down the hammer on those two idiots and the gang of criminal bedfellows

Judge Sullivan responds with a lengthy order to DOJ's motion to dismiss the Flynn prosecution and quotes the judge on Roger Stone's case. Order states that "at the appropriate time" he will set a schedule for the submission of any amicus curiae briefs. He writes that "given the current posture of this case," he expects people will want to file amicus (friend-of-court) briefs, and he'll be setting a schedule for that.

This looks like Judge Sullivan wants to hear from colleagues who disagree with Atty Gen Barr’s move to dismiss the Flynn case, because unwinding a guilty plea is not as easy as some in the media (Fox News) would like one to believe. Judge Sullivan has a duty to uphold Mike Flynn’s guilty plea.

Tara Reade : Harassment, assault absent in Biden complaint - AP Exclusive

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/tara-reade-harassment-assault-absent-biden-complaint

Tara Reade, the former Senate staffer who alleges Joe Biden sexually assaulted her 27 years ago, says she filed a limited report with a congressional personnel office that did not explicitly accuse him of sexual assault or harassment.

“I remember talking about him wanting me to serve drinks because he liked my legs and thought I was pretty and it made me uncomfortable,” Reade said in an interview Friday with The Associated Press. “I know that I was too scared to write about the sexual assault.”

Reade said she described her issues with Biden but “the main word I used — and I know I didn’t use sexual harassment — I used ‘uncomfortable.’ And I remember ‘retaliation.’”

Reade described the report after the AP discovered additional transcripts and notes from its interviews with Reade last year in which she says she “chickened out” after going to the Senate personnel office. The AP interviewed Reade in 2019 after she accused Biden of uncomfortable and inappropriate touching. She did not raise allegations of sexual assault against Biden until this year, around the time he became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.

But Reade is suggesting that even if the report surfaces, it would not corroborate her assault allegations because she chose not to detail them at the time.

AP Exclusive: Harassment, assault absent in Biden complaint


Despite the latest news, I still believe a proper and thorough investigation must be done to establish the truth.

Exclusive: 1996 court document confirms Tara Reade told of harassment in Biden’s office

https://www.sanluisobispo.com/news/politics-government/article242527331.html

A court document from 1996 shows former Senate staffer Tara Reade told her ex-husband she was sexually harassed while working for Joe Biden in 1993. The declaration — exclusively obtained by The Tribune in San Luis Obispo, California — does not say Biden committed the harassment nor does it mention Reade’s more recent allegations of sexual assault.

Reade’s then-husband Theodore Dronen wrote the court declaration. Dronen at the time was contesting a restraining order Reade filed against him days after he filed for divorce, Superior Court records show. In it, he writes Reade told him about “a problem she was having at work regarding sexual harassment, in U.S. Senator Joe Biden’s office.”

It appears to be the only written record that has surfaced from the time that substantiates Reade shared her account in the years following the alleged incident, though a former neighbor came forward last week about similar conversations she said she had with Reade in 1995.

In the court records Tara Reade didn't mentioned that Joe Biden directly sexually harassed or assaulted her - (rather according to the court documents, she told her ex-husband that she was harassed in the U.S. Senator Joe Biden's office).

Not holding any court for Joe Biden, but:

- why did this allegation take such a long time (over 2 decades) before it became public, knowing that then Vice President-Candidate Joe Biden would have been literally one heartbeat away from the presidency (2008 - 2012, then 2013 - 2017). Because there would have been a thorough vetting process. Also the Republicans would have used this against the Obama during his two-terms in government.

- this court documents were filed in 1993 around the time the Republicans in Congress were in the impeachment process of Bill Clinton. Then Joe Biden held a high post as Chair of the Senate Judicial Committee.

- why didn't Tara Reade bring this up during the #Me Too movement era campaign in 2017 which helped bring justice for lots of women who were sexually harassed or assaulted

High school senior, mother say large group of armed people, including off-duty deputy, terrorized them in their home

https://www.wect.com/2020/05/07/high-school-senior-mother-say-large-group-armed-people-including-off-duty-deputy-terrorized-them-their-home/

PENDER COUNTY, N.C. (WECT) - An attorney representing a family in Pender County claims his clients were “terrorized” by a large group of people, including an off-duty member of the New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office, this past weekend.
In a letter addressed to New Hanover and Pender County District Attorney Ben David, James Lea claims the armed group of people, all white, knocked on the door of the home of Monica Shepard late Sunday night. Shepard was asleep, but her son, Dameon, a high school senior, was awake and playing video games in the front of the home located in the Avendale community in Pender County. The Shepards are African-American.
When Dameon answered the door, Lea says the group demanded to know information about a young missing girl. The group was apparently looking for an individual named Josiah, who lived next door to the Shepards but left that neighborhood a month earlier.
Lea says Dameon identified himself by name several times, but the group continued to press for information that he did not have.
Among the people on the Shepard’s porch demanding answers was a person carrying an assault weapon and another with a shotgun, Lea wrote in the letter.
Also part of the group was an off-duty member of the New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office. Lea says Deputy J.T. Kita, who works in the detention division, was in uniform and armed.
When Dameon attempted to shut the door after telling the group who he was, Lea says the New Hanover County deputy stuck his foot in the door and demanded to come inside.
Shepard woke up during this commotion and also tried to get the group to leave her property, indicating the person they were looking for did not live there. Once again, according to Lea, the group continued to question the Shepards, demanding to come inside. The deputy also blocked Shepard from closing her door.
