Not surprised you don't recognize it. It's logic. Starkly in contrast to the emotion that underpins most of your posts.
Also not surprised you don't recognize the argument you've been making for the last month.

It's looks crazy when you strip away all the superfluous words, doesn't it?
It's the language of Genocidal Murderers.

Who can help me with answers oh

Why are Americans - visiting/ vacationing in Ghana and not Nigeria ?

Why are people refusing to visit Nigeria ?
Looks like it is only some people with nig parents that go visit Nigeria.

Is the Nig government aware of the financial loss ?
Ghana is overall safer and more low key.
Even in traffic, there's not all that blaring of horns.
Also they have a tourism strategy after they promoted "the Return", even with tiered pricing at places (Local, international).
Though it's affected the locals. And the last time I was there the prices were outrageous. Paid $20 for a drink at one place.

That being said, the energy/vibe in Naij is different, Ghana can't compete.
The Lagos govt. at least is trying now with their International City push.
Lagos/VI is also very safe. I'm usually out and about till 3-4 am from place to place. No mopo.
Tons of security/check points which is good and bad.
There is also a huge Cultural Naij thing now. When I was In Lagos in Xmas I saw so many African Americans there. Was very confused.
Lagos is turning into an International Party destination. CNN even had an article about it. I think this Xmas will be big in Lagos.

Yeah. It's the mental gymnastics Republicans play that keeps their districts in the bottom of most categories.
States with high crime rates, who can't afford to school their kids (scores are always at the bottom), can't afford to provide health care, send their National Guard, which are primarily funded by Blue States and their tax dollars to do what they can't in their own states
More than 4700 Alabama kids set to repeat 3rd grade this year for not meeting basic reading standards.
Same thing happened last year. Thousands of students held back for poor performance.

Ask the average Alabamian what their problem is today, they’ll name one blue state/city they’ve never been to and will probably never be to. Mind you said blue state/city is likely subsidizing their existence while they yap rabidly about how they hate handouts.

Very ignorant and unserious people.

It’s the ones whose opinions are based on religious beliefs, brainwashed ideologies and unexamined emotional hangovers that are first to call people emotional for trying to get them to reason with their brains.


If your stance cannot survive scrutiny but you keep trying to deflect by calling your opponent emotional I think the definition of that is “projection”.
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by cococandy(f):

Glad I already Bought 2 PS5s and an Xbox amongst other stuff for Christmas gifts. Almost done with holiday gift shopping.

It’s $50 here, $30 there. When you add all the cousins, nieces and nephews, it’s thousands in extra costs that could’ve been avoided if agent orange weren’t in office.

They’ll have a very red Christmas this year. A hot shame

---To the NL MAGA economists---Sony will hike PS5 prices Thursday as a result of Trump's trade war---

https://www.axios.com/2025/08/20/sony-ps5-price-increase-trump-tariffs

Sony is raising the price of its PlayStation 5 consoles by $50 each in the U.S. beginning Thursday, the company announced on Wednesday.

Why it matters: The move reflects companies starting to buckle under pressure from President Trump's tariffs, raising prices or signaling that increases are coming.

What they're saying: "Similar to many global businesses, we continue to navigate a challenging economic environment," Sony said in a blog post.

"As a result, we've made the difficult decision to increase the recommended retail price for PlayStation 5 consoles in the U.S. starting on August 21."
The recommended retail prices for PlayStation 5 accessories "remain unchanged," however.
State of play: The new prices in the U.S. range from $550 to $750.

PlayStation 5 – $549.99
PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – $499.99
PlayStation 5 Pro – $749.99

---Winter of hike prices is coming---

⚡Ukraine is arming and training Islamist militants in Africa to target Russian allies, according to a new Izvestia investigation citing unnamed sources.

Ukrainian GUR operatives, allegedly using diplomatic cover, delivered drones to the ADF, an Islamist group active near the Uganda–DR Congo border.

Objective: destabilize pro-Russian governments and strike Russian PMC-linked sites in the region.

Ukrainian UAV instructors have also been observed in Mali, CAR, and Sudan. They are said to train militants in advanced drone warfare and have been seen using NATO country passports.

DR Congo and Russia maintain strong partnerships, making them a reported target of this covert sabotage strategy

Russia was always right.

The US and it's allies are the number 1 terrorist sponsors.

The US has a hand in nearly every terror group on earth. They created ISIS, Al-Qaeda and Al-Nusra.

If they were to make them in America, would they be bought because the prices would be higher ?
Logically according to the article , everything should be manufactured in China because it's cheaper.

A Senior CIA officer for 30 years confirms the psychological operations they use overseas were turned against Donald Trump and the American People to keep Democrats in power

“An intelligence agent, now retired, very senior. He looked me in the eye and said, the truth of the matter is, we took the playbook for psychological operations and information warfare that we would use against our enemies, and we turned it against the American people to undo the 2016 election and to make sure they didn't elect Donald Trump in 2020.

Now, that is a senior intelligence officer with more than 30 years of experience, a patriot who served in some of the most dangerous parts of the world, and he understood that the tactics of making something fake look real were ripped right out of our intelligence communities.

Our intelligence agencies not only harmed Donald Trump, they were harming the American public, the national security interests of the American public”

It was also discovered that WA and CA issued Singh a commercial driver's license despite not being eligible for it.

Authorities in New Mexico also failed to issue ELP tests when Singh was stopped there for speeding

You are the only emotional one here, emotional about fake famine and fake genocide when a numbers man would default to logic

You keep jumping from pillar to post. What does a "journalist" getting caught red-handed have to do with X and Y; and even when that argument is tested, you start jumping to logic

Unlike you with an unverifiable degree in Computer Science that couldn't even stand elementary scrutiny on basic Computing knowledge from RSUST graduates, I am a first class Maths grad and Master degree holder so I should know one or two about X and Y

If we both agree that Y (Hamas) is a bad man then logic dictates we can both agree that a sizeable population of X support the bad man in thought and in deed going by election results, so it should be no surprise to see "journalists" getting caught red-handed carrying out nefarious acts of Y. We haven't even begun to scratch the surface of how pervasive terrorism is in that society (X) if we simply extrapolate election results across the total population.

Trump baited them and they fell for it. The truth is most Democrat controlled states were already fully gerrymandered and have little opportunities compared to GOP led states

Go on chatgpt and ask it that "if both parties gerrymander to the maximum level, what will be the composition of Congress"

The response is

Studies that simulate "max gerrymanders" (using algorithms rather than just partisan maps) find:

If Republicans gerrymander every state they control and Democrats do the same:

GOP could get ~55–60% of House seats (≈ 240–260 seats).

Democrats would hold ~40–45% (≈ 175–195 seats).


In a neutral / fair map scenario, it would be closer to 50/50 or slight GOP edge.

Source examples: Princeton Gerrymandering Project, FiveThirtyEight redistricting simulations, and political science research.

If both parties gerrymander to the maximum, the House would lean Republican — likely around 240–260 GOP seats vs 175–195 Democratic seats — mainly because of voter distribution. The Senate would remain unaffected

That's what I've seen also. In other words democrats took advantage while republicans did zilch.
Meanwhile the open borders bringing in 8-10 million extra people and settling them in heavily Democratic cities and states would see the census count them and increase the number of gerrymandered seats to favour them. Trump has ordered a census that doesn't count non citizens , of course they are not amused. Because if only citizens are counted they still lose more seats without gerrymandering.

Your last point corresponds with Nate's analysis. He made a video about this last week and he is a democrat.

I can't even understand what this means. Do you?
He said "start jumping to logic" as if any argument one makes shouldn't be logical.
And how does one test an argument without breaking down the logic?
In Donald Trump's word.. "Sad. undecided"

Ibime:
Unlike you with an unverifiable degree in Computer Science that couldn't even stand elementary scrutiny on basic Computing knowledge from RSUST graduates, I am a first class Maths grad and Master degree holder so I should know one or two about X and Y
Oga, since I'm not Bemeruca, probably best for you to leave my degrees and personal life out of this.
It's not a road you want to travel esp. for someone who doesn't seem to know what a logical statement is.
He said it was Algebra then said he was a first class Maths grad.
"Sad -\"

This part is a mess.
Please revisit the assignment. You seem to have missed what X and Y represent.
"Sad undecided"

I really can't take you seriously if you can't recognize a logical statement nor evaluate it correctly.
