Each time a leftist comments, he vindicates me that LEFTISM of the European and North American style does not require commonsense to practice.

If the Israeli Airforce bombed the little enclave of Gaza indiscriminately, would there be anything left of the two million population after only two days of bombing?

Where was the Israeli "genocide" before Hamas' murderous conduct on Oct 7 ?

Where is the Israeli "genocide" inside Israel itself where almost 30% of the Israeli population are Arab Muslims

Indeed, how many protests did this guy organize against the Oct 7 Hamas attack which started the Israeli war on Hamas, not on Palestinians as deranged leftists would say ?

Hamas bears the blame for every single death in the Gaza war. They caused the war and used Palestinians as battle shield.

The entire West is like the City of Troy and LEFTISM is the Trojan Horse by which the City (the West) is infiltrated by the enemy and conquered.
Posts like this reek of bias.
You can literally look at the before and after pictures of Gaza to see indiscriminate bombing.
And the War started just on Oct. 7th? Just that day huh?

This is just one of the TED Ed videos on YouTube that you can watch to help you get on the right track as far as losing weight is concerned. undecided

I am not trying to enter into a useless debate with you here. I am simply pointing out that the science of what you claim does not add up as all. What you describe amounts to juju. Even people who lose weight every so often for professional reasons -- actors, models, celebrities --- do not report such successes in so short time as you claim and this is with all the professionals they have working with them and all. undecided
It's possible.
Once your body starts burning through glycogen it also releases the water stored in then.
It's very easy to lose a lot of water weight initially. Some of it returns once you start eating Carbs again.

From experience, I did a 14 day water fast last year. The scale said I lost 23 pounds at the end of it. But after refeeding it was about 14 pounds (fat and some muscle).
I usually expect to lose and keep off 1 pound a day when doing a full water fast.
I also work out in the midst of it as well. When I can.

If you are not pained and got broken you wouldn't try to prove yourself. Like I told you, war isn't about how much ammunition you have, it's about strategy. Learn so you can live.

Here is a piece from that Liberal Rag The Wall Street Journal.. /sarcasm
This piece is telling of the anxiety and economic fear Conservatives feel given the Wall Street Journal wrote it.
Seems like a purposeful choice to give Trump a message.

The Mood of the American Consumer is Souring
Tariff threats, market turbulence causing jitters early in Trump’s second term


The Trump bump in consumer confidence is already over.

Tariff threats, stock market swings and rapidly reversing executive orders are causing Americans across the political spectrum to feel considerably more pessimistic about the economy than they did before President Trump took office.
Consumer sentiment fell about 5% in the University of Michigan’s preliminary February survey of consumers to its lowest reading since July 2024. Expectations of inflation in the year ahead jumped from 3.3% in January to 4.3%, the second month in a row of large increases and highest reading since November 2023.
“It’s very rare to see a full percentage point jump in inflation expectations,” said Joanne Hsu, who oversees the survey. Republicans have come off a postelection surge in confidence, she said, and Democrats and Independents also seem to believe that economic conditions have deteriorated since last month.
...
“I don’t like the turbulence. I don’t like the chaos in the market,” said Paul Bisson, a 58-year-old, who writes proposals for a flight safety company and co-owns a dog daycare in San Antonio. Bisson voted for Trump, but feels “his policies have led to that chaos.

You think China and Russia will give you free money for DEI and gender bending studies in Sri Lanka grin

Dey play. US might have their flaws but the sheer size of their economy means they will never not be relevant.

If you think the US are users wait let China hold your country for waist first.

From NATO, to USAID to the other free money they're giving everywhere they're the Universal sugar Daddy and all these countries you listed above simply can't cope
He's not wrong.
It's not simply about Economics as you see it, it's about winning hearts and minds for those US products and beneficial US policies.
And the money USAID spends has a multiplier effect and propaganda effect.

This is a pic I took years back. My cousin usually has an end of year party in his compound in the East. This is a pic of a child dancing to the DJ that was set up outside the compound. I thought the jacket was so interesting. Took a picture and talked to them about the jacket. Local children, never been to the US nor have their parents. Parents bought the jacket at the market.
Let's leave outside the immediate good the money does. How much more likely do you think that child will grow up to like US products or be supportive of US policies or if he is a brilliant inventor want to immigrate to the US?

You're thinking of this stuff in a purely short term way. When we are losing long term benefits because of people being unable to see beyond this second.

The same can be said for any car except the Mini. How long do you plan to use your new car and how regularly?

My friend's transmission box was damaged in less than 5 hours after accidentally using the wrong fluid. it's not like he did a flush before inserting the wrong one. he just topped the fluid
It's like everything else you post here, you don't really have an understanding of what you are posting so can't really lie about it well.
If you've lost enough transmission fluid to have to significantly top it off you have either a very old car or your transmission fluid was leaking.
And if your transmission fluid was significantly low before you put any fluid in it esp. the wrong type, you probably already had some transmission issues.

Besides that your story makes sense. . lol.

Sec. 3. Realignment of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. (a) I hereby proclaim, pursuant to sections 212(f) and 215(a) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1182(f) and 1185(a), that entry into the United States of refugees under the USRAP would be detrimental to the interests of the United States. I therefore direct that entry into the United States of refugees under the USRAP be suspended — subject to the exceptions set forth in subsection (c) of this section — until a finding is made in accordance with section 4 of this order. This suspension shall take effect at 12:01 am eastern standard time on January 27, 2025.

Technically, the President of the US doesn't have a security clearance.
Since he is the Executive Branch, the ability to see classified documents flows from his job.

Did you miss the bolded? Or just want to call Trump racist?
You seem to have not read the post or heard what Trump ran on or heard what is going on right now in the US.

Trump ran on America first and shutting down immigration. You know the country is full.
One of his first Executive Orders was to stop all refugee claims.
And then he started rounding up and deporting immigrants even in Churches, Schools and Hospitals. Some who were going through the asylum process. Some who had arrived to the US as kids and have been in the US for decades.
But his mood suddenly shifted when it was White Afrikaans.
Let me ask you do you know how many people are being persecuted and in fear of their actual lives in places around the world?
Again why did the Afrikaans stand out?

As others have pointed out you may also want to review your history of South Africa.

Trump signed an Executive Order giving priority to White Afrikaner refugees after he initially signed an Executive Order suspending the US refugee program because it was a strain on communities.
No to Black and Brown refugees, yes to White Refugees.
I'm not sure how any Nigerian here can support or even defend this level of blatant racism.

Sec. 4. Refugee Resettlement and Other Humanitarian Considerations. The Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall take appropriate steps, consistent with law, to prioritize humanitarian relief, including admission and resettlement through the United States Refugee Admissions Program, for Afrikaners in South Africa who are victims of unjust racial discrimination. Such plan shall be submitted to the President through the Assistant to the President and Homeland Security Advisor.

So which one benefits the American taxpayers more? Going to the 0.01% American billionaire like Bezos who can likely create more jobs for Americans or going to Sesame street in Iraq, Trans in Colombia and DEI in Serbia
You mean why didn't the Dems try to cut Pentagon funding over the desires of the same Republicans you're defending now?
Because they couldn't that's not how the government works.
Dems have been trying to pair back Pentagon programs for Decades and Republicans kept standing in the way.
In fact I remember one year the Republicans gave the Pentagon a bigger budget than they wanted and they tried to hold the government hostage to pass it.

It seems like you just discovered US politics and who for the past few decades have been fighting for less Defense spending and against foreign wars.

And as it stands, correct me if I'm wrong, no one really knows how much waste, fraud, and abuse is at issue and whether this money could be spent on other crucial programs, critical outreach efforts, and critical communities all across the country," said Ranking Member Kweisi Mfume in his opening statement.

Most Likely Fiction
More propaganda for the MAGA gullible

While Leavitt did not offer any evidence to support this claim, and was not pressed to by reporters, the idea that the United States government planned to spend $50m to send condoms to Gaza quickly went viral, with an assist from Musk himself.

The Fox pundit Jesse Watters even claimed that the condoms were being used by Hamas militants as balloons to float explosives into Israel.

A review of the available evidence, however, suggests that the claim is almost certainly not true.

According to a comprehensive report issued in September by the US Agency for International Development (USAid), not a penny of the $60.8m in contraceptive and condom shipments funded by the US in the past year went to Gaza. In fact, the accounting shows, there were no condoms sent to any part of the Middle East, and just one small shipment, $45,680 in oral and injectable contraceptives, was sent to the region, all of it distributed to the government of Jordan.

For the financial year 2023, the most recent for which data is available, only about $7m worth of condoms were distributed globally by USAid, and the vast majority of family-planning funds, 89%, were spent on programs in Africa.

As Dan Evon of the non-profit News Literacy Project points out: “It’s also worth noting that this is not a Biden program. Trump, too, spent funds on sending contraceptives around the globe. In 2019, about $40m was spent on contraceptives by the Trump administration”.

The Dems came in because they were also far left with some their policies. The nonsense things that happened with the LGBTQ and other alphabets during the last Olympics were too extreme. No one cared until they started pushing them out despite their little numbers, putting them in almost everything other people do. I do not have issues with whatever anyone choose to become, I only have issues with someone forcing me to accept those choices. No one who is truthful will deny that.

That being said, Trump seems to be hellbent on creating maximum chaos for a few but it will boomerang and affect the whole nation. Whoever is supporting these EOs should look at the mirror if he's okay and should also know that these policies will affect everyone.

When Tinubu began his chaos here, I felt insulated. Told my wife (we married 18 months ago) that it doesn't concern me what is going on here. Inflation was rising but investment was covering up for it so I didn't feel anything until last December. The amount I normally spend for Christmas gifts to people went up over 6 times. I told my wife that now I see why we all should fight against bad governance.

Now the issue is that I could afford to spend it and even increased what to give out but what about others without resources?

I pray we all try to be empathetic towards one another instead of picking sides between parties.
I hear you, and agree with you for the most part. Dems were tone deaf in their desire for acceptance of Trans people.
But Trump telegraphed what he was going to do and people put their hatred of Trans people/immigrants/minorities over the health of the nation.
The EO's are exactlty what was described in Project 2025.
I hope he succeeds but I know he won't.
But I think for the US to break it's fever this kind of needs to happen.
People have to understand you can't have all the sugar you want to eat and not get fat.

I was just in Naij and I hear you. My friends were doing well and even prospering, but the prices I saw I couldn't imagine how average people who didn't live on the island or earn dollars were surviving. Esp. the fuel prices. I hope it's a wake up call as well.

If Hunter was not Biden's sine and was aggressively chased by some DA Somewhere ever a personal vendetta will that person get a pardon?

Nepotism begets nepotism
I agree, but they went after him solely because he was the President's son.
Just compare the crimes he was convicted and the sentences others usually receive.
Not even close.

And then there was the FBI "informant" who Bill Barr said was credible who was just convicted of creating/lying about bribery accusations about Hunter Biden and Burisma.
The same lie that the Republicans were trumpeting for years, that launched these investigations that they had to know was a lie.

Honestly, the whole thing stinks and seems to have originated from Trump's first impeachment where he wanted to create an investigation tied to Ukraine to hurt Biden.
It seems he did.
Honestly, if Garland wasn't so weak an investigation should have been launched into Bill Barr and why he claimed this informant was credible and who paid this informant to lie.

One illegality begets another. Biden pardoned his son in what can only be called abuse of office and Trump is sitting in that abuse of office role to do this nonsense.

These are two sides of a rotten and corrupt coin
The Hunter Biden pardon was the correct choice.
Bill Barr's appointed Special Counsel went after Hunter for political motivations.
The plea deal he initially struck was equitable given every past case for the same offense.
It was pulled because of pressure from Trump and Republicans and then they aggressively went after him.
Trump and Republicans have utterly weaponized the government, just listen to their words.
I don't blame Biden for what he did with Hunter nor his preemptive pardons for the J6 committee.

A President pardoning 1600 people who tried to overturn the election cannot be comparable.

If he was cool with hanging out with a religious person (as per the way he described her), I am suree she definitely holds other opinions he's doesn't share. So why the draw the line at Trump? And yes, at simply a vocal support when she's not even yet a citizen that can vote?

Would it not be better for him to not have offered her any help in the first place, than for him to leave her hanging... oh God.

2.) I never described her as Religious in the way I understand Religion. She is Religious as a lot in Nigeria are (I'm sure you'll get at me for that reference). I am Religious as well in a different way.
3.) We're just friends and I keep it that way as I couldn't honestly rationalize to my g/f maintaining a relationship with her if we weren't.
4.) We did have a discussion about Trump. She shut it down and said she doesn't talk about Politics (explained to you she likes getting her way). I explained to her, FYI, my Politics are the way they are because of my faith. And I consider Trump contrary to everything I believe. And we're friends because I trust your judgment. Supporting Trump means you have poor judgement.
She was pissed. Oh well. Her choices. C'est la vie.
Anyone that can support a racist rapist is not anyone I can call a friend.
