It’s not true that anyone has died from starvation in Gaza. That’s the real propaganda. Starvation is common, and many claims are exaggerated to manipulate your emotions

Obama and Diversity. The first foreign judge to be appointed to DC federal was by Obama . Judge Chutkan who was presiding over Trump case, she helped Jackboot Smith commit every ethical violation he could.

democrat majority.a
Obama introduced some DEI to the court system. The 5 judges above ,none has any judicial experience.Mmm they seem to be just activists to me.
Thank you Obama.

Please tell Zelensky to stop smoking weed. Those territories are gone. Kaput. Including Crimea. Gone.
He should broker a ceasefire or risk losing Kyiv .
Russia had warned of every attempt to still the planned Putin and Trump meeting this Friday. EU bitter losers don't want to be outshined.
Macron can send every Palestinian back to their shithole if Trump invites him to participate in the Friday talks,even as a janitor or the barista.

The folly of green energy. The foolish EU is freezing coal and oil for energy generation. They stopped importing Russian gas and have pledged to buy $750B of LNG and oil from America.
They spend massive amounts on clean energy ... Solar and Wind. The Chinese fire a coal plant every week. Coupled with cheap labour and fully developed supply chain ,, EU has no choice but you buy their wind mills, dynamos, solar panels and battery storage from China.
Hydros ,oil and nuclear generatirs stabilize frequency at 50 or 60Hz very well unlike solar and wind turbines. Which led to.a massive blackout in Spain a few months ago
green energy isnt a folly. Its the future.. and it will happen gradually.

Whilst fossil fuels is still pretty much relevant , conservatives should not all together discard the fact that the world would chase after green energy.. America shouldn't and wouldnt be left behind.. America should ensure a robust energy mix and not completely discard a valid energy value chain or calling it a folly.

Good Read

Republicans are really good at this. Of course, it is helped by their ability to game the "limitations" of their followers.
You can see the fruits of it in this thread:

How It Works in Practice

The clearest example of this phenomenon emerged after the 2020 election. While Trump's loss was evident to anyone examining the numbers, his digital operation wasn’t ready to give up yet. Instead, they immediately pivoted from winning votes to winning the narrative.

Enter "Stop the Steal."

This phrase was short, punchy, and emotionally charged. It required no explanation; it conveyed both the alleged crime and verdict in just three words. On November 4, a coordinated network of Trump loyalists — from fringe activists to high-profile influencers — began pushing this slogan across Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, and a flurry of fringe pro-Trump platforms. They didn't wait for organic discovery.

Instead, they launched a synchronized barrage: identical graphics posted across dozens of pages, influencers with millions of followers tweeting the same phrase within minutes of each other, and carbon-copy Facebook groups suddenly appearing in every swing state.

...

The right has built a seamless outrage-to-amplification pipeline. Conservative media outlets, MAGA influencers, talk radio, cable news, and elected officials work in concert. They push identical storylines simultaneously, using consistent hashtags, graphics, and talking points to create the velocity that algorithms can't ignore.

And because right-wing messaging often portrays Big Tech as biased against conservatives, any moderation attempt can be reframed as censorship. This "censorship" content triggers its own engagement spike, extending the feedback loop.

It's a self-perpetuating system: create outrage, get boosted, cry censorship, repeat.

In most cases against Trump they always rule against him or dissent.

You can't provide one. Even hamas cannot which is why they fake it for the mainstream media to publish.

If there is someone dying because of starvation we would have seen it. The only evidence of people who are starved and may die as a result of that are the hostages.

Nuclear energy is clean and efficient, unlike solar and other green alternatives, which are often too expensive and inefficient for widespread use and you know they have high carbon footprint to develop as well.

Even if I see the potential for these green technologies to power cars which I think they are doing a good job, I don't believe they are suitable for powering an entire country.

when converting fossil fuel energy to mechanical energy in cars, about 80% of the energy is lost during the process. This is where electric cars shines as they are 98% efficient in converting electrical energy to mechanical energy. energy density of fossil fuels cannot be compared to that of green energy sources.
Green energy fails at the aspect.

If you ask me, I will say overall, the idea of green energy powering a country or city is greenwashing.

a mix should be maintained. Its inevitable..also the world cannot solely continue to rely heavily on fossils because of its impact on the environment..

Eventually the world would readjust the energy mix to with fossils taking the lesser share.

The world is really moving fast on this..

The Hunter Biden interview.
Don't care too much about him personally but do care what this saga represented, the Dems allowing propaganda to flourish and not pushing back.
A good watch
Speaks about his Drug addiction, his "laptop" the blind repairman somehow got and gave to Giuliani, comparisons with his supposed
bribery and Trump's actual bribery and corruption.
Don't agree with everything he says but still worth a listen.

Green energy production is intermittent Requires expensive storage systems. Maintaining 50Hz or 60Hz from solar or wind requires expansive control systems.
Nuclear, geothermal and gas generate heat or rather steam to turn rotary steam turbines . Hydros also use the water to turn rotary turbines .

I'm alerting you to the dangers Obama brought upon America. If Jack Smith is going down Judge Chutkan will also go down.. Ditto those activist Obama and Biden judges who mercilessly incarcerate protesters of J6 fedsurrection. As I understand a conspiracy has no statutue of limitations as long as the seditious conspiracy is still going on . Whether it's a social media comment touching on the conspiracy, it's a continuing conspiracy.
As to the rest of the world the scumbag Obama brought nothing but misery esp Middle East Not even to his father's country did he leave anything impactful . Bloody useless traitor.

So you can't provide any proof? The hostage is an evidence of how people die of starvation. You lose body weight, you will see evidence of malnutrition.

In Gaza, they present children with other illness as proof of starvation where the parent of the starved kids look well fed and healthy as well as the siblings of the starved kid.

You should be open minded with things like this. No one is saying you can't criticize Israel but it shoukd always be righteous criticism.

Do your critical analysis of the information you see. Don't believe or spread something knowing they are lies.

You claim children are dying of starvation. Starvation does not kill like cardiac arrest or a bullet to the head, you will see the signs for many days before death comes. The Israel hostage shows the signs of starvation.

The problem with nuclear energy is waste management. Other, it can be safely managed but it will take a very long time for the isotopes to decay. If they can send them to he button of the sea it would be okay. Or if they can shoot them out to space.

I'll answer that question as soon as you explain why that matters to you more than that it takes 12 hours to drive from Lagos to Warri.

You ask a question that you could have easily googled for yourself.
But I guess you tried and didn't like the answers, so you came up with a conspiracy that the "Woke" replaced all the answers on the Internets with Woke answers.

Lithium, cobalt etc. Go dwindle before hydrocarbon. Na nuclear fusion be the future. They should focus on Thorium
Plutonium and uranium waste is hard to manage. And thorium cannot be weaponize as well.
