Assumption assumptions on people you know zilch about. Beaten to death in every debate. resort to you have never been ...When shown photos start doubting.
Paste any photo here and Ill dig it up.

Meanwhile ,wonder how I missed this phenomenon of snow in Saudi Arabia - for the first time in 50 years. Global warming is for fools who eat meatless diets, blame arsonist forest fires on it, blame earthquakes And finally fooled to buy Teslas in their dreams.

Barack Obama and Michelle Obama were all smiles in photos captured at the former president's 60th birthday bash on Saturday night.

The party, held in the backyard of the couple's Martha's Vineyard mansion, was scaled back because of concerns about the rapid spread of COVID-19, Obama's office said last week.

In a statement obtained by USA TODAY on Wednesday, spokesperson Hannah Hankins said the former president would be celebrating the milestone moment with family and close friends in place of the large outdoor party he had planned.

“This outdoor event was planned months ago in accordance with all public health guidelines and with COVID safeguards in place. Due to the new spread of the delta variant over the past week, the President and Mrs. Obama have decided to significantly scale back the event to include only family and close friends,” the statement reads. “President Obama is appreciative of others sending their birthday wishes from afar and looks forward to seeing people soon.”

Guests were required to adhere to all Centers for Disease Control and Prevention public health protocols, including a testing regimen managed by a COVID-19 coordinator.

The Obamas have been strong advocates for vaccines, emphasizing "the need and the urgency of our communities getting vaccinated" in a video with Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley in April and getting vaccinated themselves one month earlier.

In lieu of gifts, the Obamas encouraged guests to donate to programs that work to support young people, such as My Brother's Keeper, which helps young men of color; the Girls Opportunity Alliance, which empowers adolescent girls around the world; and the Obama Foundation's Global Leadership programs, which aim to equip the next generation of emerging leaders.

You don't need to b an economist. Alot of Naija youths are fond of lamenting on Twitter and once in a while on nairaland about the rising cost of goods and commodities. It was on twitter that I discovered that plantain is now more expensive in Nigeria than Canada grin

A thread was created a few days ago on twitter about Port Harcourt. A large percentage of people's shared experiences were of violence and harrassment by cultists and thugs.

Hopefully, the trumptards on here should atleast try to clean the mess in their environment instead of getting worked up about the financial status of black people in developed countries.
We sent robocop to do the job but he is woke grin

MARTHA'S VINEYARD, MA—Well, this is tragic
news: Barack Obama's long-awaited birthday
bash has been ruined by climate change as
his mansion sank into the sea thanks to
global warming.
As guests participated in the activities, from
fun games like "Pin the Drone on the Middle
Eastern Country " to a rousing session of
Settlers of Yemen, the sound of crashing
water caused everyone to run outside. "Oh
no!" shouted Hillary Clinton. "We've gotta
cheese it—it's climate change!"
"How dare you!" shouted Greta Thunberg,
lecturing the wave on how it's just supposed
to consume evil white men.
"Aw, man!" said a disappointed Obama as he
swam away. "I was looking forward to that
Predator drone-shaped cake—it looked
delicious!"
"I knew I shouldn't have invested in a $12
million-dollar mansion when I've warned
people over and over again that it would be
underwater in just a few years."
Many guests were soaked or swept away into
the sea, though John Kerry and Al Gore called
their pilots and got picked up in their private
jets.
At publishing time, Obama had purchased yet
another multi-million-dollar mansion on the
new Atlantic coast in eastern Kansas.

Global warming doesn't mean everywhere would be warm and you will no longer see Winter or rainy season.

Global warming which is gradual brings about extreme weather events.

If the Saudi event you posted is rare, then that would be an extreme weather event i.e. Extreme precipitation. Snow is precipitation that falls in the form of ice crystals.

How did deserts form without oil and his answer is scientists believe in climate change.

Coal remains at the heart of
China’s flourishing economy. In
2019, 58 percent of the country’s
total energy consumption came
from coal, which helps explain why
China accounts for 28 percent of all
global CO2 emissions. And China
continues to build coal-fired power
plants at a rate that outpaces the
rest of the world combined. In
2020, China brought 38.4 gigawatts
of new coal-fired power into
operation, more than three times
what was brought on line
everywhere else.

How does Progressivism via woke ideologies of Egalitarianistic-Equalism, neo-marxism and post-mordernism create wealth or brings about innovations in science and technology like the enlightenment era where the church power declined, the only thing you ushered these 21st century is a dysfunctional culturally destabilizing ideology like LGBTQ and now blasphemous laws just like ancient religion but now the cult of social justice warriors via political correctness, cancel Culture and censorship

TRUMPLAND
Trump Sails Away as Rudy Giuliani Drowns in Legal Bills
THANKS FOR NOTHING
As Giuliani struggles with mounting legal bills, the former president’s longtime friend can’t even get a retweet.

Asawin Suebsaeng
Senior Political Reporter

Senior Researcher
Updated Aug. 09, 2021 6:16AM ET / Published Aug. 09, 2021 4:54AM ET

As Rudy Giuliani’s legal bills have piled up in recent months—and as federal investigators intensify their probe into Donald Trump’s longtime associate—the former president appears willing to provide just as much help as he usually does when his friends are in need: next to nothing.

For months now, Trump has consistently ignored or rejected Giuliani’s pleas for assistance. And it’s not just that Trump and other prominent Republicans have been unwilling to open up their wallets or war chests to help offset Giuliani’s mounting legal costs; in many cases, Giuliani’s former Trumpworld comrades have declined to even acknowledge the existence of his legal defense fund, which has struggled to raise much of anything from the public.

“There have been times when I’ve asked people in the [former] president’s orbit to see if Trump wanted to draw attention to the fundraising,” said an ally and longtime associate of the former New York City mayor. “That went nowhere. Many of these people wouldn’t even tweet or retweet [links to the legal fund] when I asked them to.”

Trump has made some sympathetic gestures towards his former attorney, as law enforcement officials have closed in on him. When the state of New York yanked Giuliani’s law license, Trump issued a statement calling him the “greatest Mayor in the history of New York City” and “the Eliot Ness of his generation.”

It’s the only formal statement where Trump has mentioned his prior attorney since Twitter suspended the former president’s account. Other than that, Trump has only mentioned Rudy’s legal troubles once before, in an aside on Fox News calling the FBI search of Giuliani’s apartment “unfair” and “a double standard like I don’t think anybody’s ever seen before.”

But while Giuliani’s longtime friend Bernard Kerik, the former New York City police commissioner, has pitched in to create a fundraising site for Rudy’s legal bills, few others have been willing to even throw Trump’s former consigliere an RT on Twitter. (Trump himself can’t retweet anything, as he’s banned from Twitter for instigating political violence, but he could issue a statement of support for Giuliani’s fund and have it spread far and wide through the app.)

Crowdtangle, a search tool for browsing posts to public Facebook groups, pages, and verified accounts, shows that virtually no conservative or MAGA heavyweights have echoed Giuliani’s fundraising links at WinRed and the site set up for him by Kerik. The same is true on Twitter, where verified MAGA mega-follower accounts have largely ignored Giuliani’s attempts to fill his campaign coffers.

The stakes for the former New York mayor couldn’t be higher, as he faces a slew of legal troubles. Courts in New York and Washington, D.C., have suspended his law license, depriving Giuliani of an important source of income.

In the meantime, his legal bills continue to grow. Attorneys for Dominion Voting Systems have filed a billion-dollar defamation lawsuit against Giuliani for echoing wild conspiracy theories about the company’s products. Democratic lawmakers have also accused him—alongside former President Trump—of helping to incite the Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol. And the most serious legal headache for Giuliani looms over all of his troubles: a Justice Department criminal probe into whether he violated foreign lobbying laws through his work in Ukraine.

Naturally, Trump’s sporadic public sympathy hasn’t extended to amplification of Giuliani’s legal defense fund, much less a check from the former president’s well-stocked campaign fund.

According to three sources familiar with the matter, there have been several fruitless attempts this year by Giuliani’s camp to convince Trump to swoop in and provide significant financial support and other forms of assistance to Giuliani. After all, a primary reason Giuliani is even under the investigative gaze of the feds is because of what he did—largely at the former president’s behest—during the Trump-Ukraine scandal.

To Giuliani and his remaining confidants, Trump’s glaring (if predictable) refusal to come to his loyalist’s rescue has been a borderline betrayal of a lawyer who’s landed in legal jeopardy precisely because of how zealously he worked to please Trump.

Still, Giuliani and his advisers are going out of their way to not publicly voice their displeasure with the ex-president’s lack of action or financial relief.

According to a person with knowledge of the matter, Giuliani has reminded those close to him to not name Trump when complaining in public or on social media about how top Republicans have abandoned Giuliani in his time of distress.

“We are allowed to call out the RNC and other Republican leaders,” this source said. “But not Donald Trump.”

Though the former president has remained stingy toward his former top attorney, that hasn’t stopped Trump from throwing Giuliani a bone every once in a while. On Thursday, when the ex-president delivered remarks at a New York GOP fundraiser, he made sure to call Giuliani to the stage, telling attendees, “We love Rudy.”

But beyond Trump’s occasional pat on the head, it’s unclear how many powerful friends Giuliani still has in Trumpland.

In late April, Alan Dershowitz, a celebrity lawyer and Democrat who worked on Trump’s defense team during the first impeachment trial, told The Daily Beast that Giuliani had called him, and that he had agreed to advise Giuliani and his attorneys following the federal raid.

But in the time since, that advisory role appears to be on indefinite hold. “I have not called them, and they haven’t called me,” Dershowitz said in a brief interview on Thursday. “Since then, they have not reached out to me for my advice, and I have not gone to them to offer it.”
