DeepSight:I don't know what happened about the 170 girls.. In a war mistakes are made and collateral damage happens. I however chose not to believe Muslim armies in any of their wars. Be they fighting amongst themselves. Until proven . You don't play Saul Alinsky rules on me oga Rule 13 of Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals is: "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." Brief Explanation The rule is designed to cut through the bureaucracy of large organizations by focusing on a specific individual rather than an abstract entity. It involves four key steps: Pick the target Select a specific person who has the power to grant your demands (e.g., a CEO or a politician). Freeze it: Do not let the target shift the blame to someone else or "pass the buck". Macro Hive - Personalize it Make the issue about that individual's actions and character. Alinsky argued that "people hurt faster than institutions". Polarize it: Cut the target off from public sympathy. Present the situation as a binary choice—good versus evil—so there is no middle ground for the target to hide. When to Use It This tactic is most effective when: Dealing with Large Organizations: Use it when an institution (like a corporation or government agency) is avoiding responsibility through complex layers of management. Building Public Support: Use it to simplify a complex issue for the public by giving them a "villain" to focus on. Seeking Immediate Action: Use it when you need to force a decision-maker into a corner where they must either give in to your demands or face personal public ridicule and isolation. Warning: Because this rule focuses on personal attacks and public shaming, it is often criticized for being divisive and manipulative. |

Mitch McConnell abruptly paved way to Senator John Thune to be the majority leader. The RINO slow walking VoterID Act. The McConnells are backstabbers who play along when they need to win an election. Senator John Thune previous posts on Twitter in 2016 after Trump tape release. Senator John Cornyn who is facing an uphill battle from the Texas AG. Paxton. He is conditioning support for VoterID on him being backed by Trump this November. He will go the Indiana way.

Konkoja:You are the ones making the argument that white people need to give black people something because of their skin color. But if you want to look at this closely, you can go to Harvard enrollment data. You can see that they are enrolling unqualified students because they are black. This is nothing new. |

Budaatum it's the same thing they are doing to people who don't bow down to Islam. He was arrested following a video he posted showing a Kirpan (a Sikh ceremonial dagger) while stating he was prepared to defend his family and "not afraid to kill anymore" amid threats and harassment. Harman Singh Kapoor, owner of Rangrez (a non-halal Indian restaurant in Hammersmith, London), has been in a long-running dispute. He refuses to serve halal meat (preferring jhatka meat in line with Sikh traditions) and has publicly criticized halal practices and related issues. This led to protests, online harassment, negative reviews, death/rape threats against his family, vandalism, and mobs outside his restaurant. Context of the arrest - Police arrested him after he shared a video displaying the Kirpan and making strong statements about protecting his family from "criminals and radicals." Authorities viewed this as a threat or potential incitement (some reports mention threats to kill Muslims or escalation via social media). - He claims the arrest was illegal/discriminatory, that he was only defending his family after repeated failures by police to protect them, and that it reflects two-tier policing (harassers not properly dealt with while he was detained). - He was held for about 24 hours and released (reportedly on conditional bail in similar past incidents). In his recent post and follow-up video, he says he's back at work, plans legal action against the Metropolitan Police and Mayor of London, and asks for support by dining at his restaurant rather than donations. This fits a pattern of prior incidents involving protests at his restaurant over the halal issue and his outspoken views. Supporters see him as a victim of selective enforcement and cultural pressure; critics call his rhetoric provocative or Islamophobic. The core trigger for this specific arrest was the weapon video in a heated context.

It's only a nazi salute when someone they don't like is doing it. Even Budaatum was spreading these lies. They are quiet when democrats do it. At this point what these people cry about should not be taken seriously. It is all performative. Fake

This is a clear contrast between the left and the right. If a rightwing person or an outsider goes to a leftwing rally, he or she is going to be attacked and shouted at.

benalvino3:Harvard never admitted unqualified students, period. Question: does Harvard enroll unqualified students because they are black? Gemini: The question of whether Harvard admits "unqualified" students based on race is a central point of debate in American law and education. However, it is important to clarify how the admissions process works and how it has changed following the 2023 Supreme Court ruling. 1. The Legal Status of Race in Admissions As of June 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) v. Harvard that race-conscious admissions programs are unconstitutional. The Ruling: Harvard and other universities are now prohibited from using race as a standalone factor or "plus factor" in the admissions process. The Result: Harvard's data for the Class of 2028 and 2029 shows a significant drop in Black student enrollment (falling from roughly 18% in 2023 to 11.5% by 2025). This suggests that without the ability to consider race, fewer Black students are being admitted under the current criteria. 2. "Qualified" vs. "Unqualified" In elite admissions, the term "qualified" is often misunderstood. Harvard receives approximately 50,000 to 60,000 applications for roughly 2,000 spots. The Baseline: Harvard officials have testified that the vast majority of their applicants—upwards of 15,000 to 20,000—are "fully qualified" academically, meaning they have the grades and test scores to succeed at the university. Holistic Review: Because there are far more qualified students than seats, Harvard uses "holistic review." This considers factors beyond grades, such as leadership, artistic talent, geography, socioeconomic status, and (previously) race. The Myth of "Unqualified": Evidence from court trials indicates that students admitted through diversity initiatives still met high academic thresholds. They were chosen from the pool of "qualified" candidates to help create a diverse learning environment, rather than being "unqualified" students jumping over "qualified" ones. 3. Other Preferences (Legacy and Donors) While the debate often focuses on race, critics and legal experts point out that Harvard also grants preferences to other groups: Legacy Applicants: Children of alumni. Dean’s Interest List: Children of major donors. Athletes: Recruited students for sports teams. Studies presented during the SFFA trial suggested that these groups—which are statistically more likely to be white and wealthy—often receive a much larger "tip" in the admissions process than racial minorities ever did. |

raumdeuter:You should not have a problem with this kind of reaction since Trump has reacted just like that to the deaths of others. |

basilico:You tell me. What were Trumps? |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by benalvino3: 3:46pm On May 10 |
DeepSight:The problem with you is that you put your mouth in everything out of ignorance. Harvards old admissions system gave a racial preference to Black applicants, and the data showed Black applicants could be admitted with weaker academic credentials than Asian and white applicants. Do your due diligence from here 👆 |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by benalvino3: 3:48pm On May 10 |
basilico:Yes, they don't have self-awareness sadly. They think they are the good guys 😂 |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by DeepSight(m): 3:51pm On May 10 |
benalvino3:The answer is already up there. The facts show that white applicants got more preferential treatment even when race was considered when admitting qualified candidates. The problem with you is you don't even understand the words you use. You specifically said unqualified candidates were admitted. I have shown you there is no such thing. Finally, the Supreme Court outlawed what you claimed and it's stopped. |

benalvino3:It shouldn't be difficult for you to answer my question. Have you, as a black man, been given anything you didn't qualify for? Yes, no or not sure? |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by benalvino3: 3:55pm On May 10 |
DeepSight:Emotions. We see the ones who gets riled up when they hear something they don't like. It's a shame when you guys start talking about spitting in the face of people because of their opinion. That is violence itself. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by benalvino3: 3:58pm On May 10 |
Konkoja:Is that not why in 2026, you people are crying about? As a black man I don't need it. You say you need it. I am in support of stopping affirmative action, but you are not. I see everyone as equal you see black people as inferior, hence, you want special treatment. |

benalvino3:Bwahahahahahahahahahahahhaha. Just go to school. Illiteracy is a scourge. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by benalvino3: 4:02pm On May 10 |
DeepSight:Actually it's you. We as humans we see ourselves as less than God, so we pray and ask for our desires. Even God says we should also put in work towards our desires. You on the other hand, see yourself as inferior to whites so you lower your standards and beg for their generosity to get what you desire. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by benalvino3: 4:03pm On May 10 |
DeepSight:Ain't that a britch? Especially when coupled with your emotions |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by DeepSightZ: 4:13pm On May 10 |
benalvino3:Making an unequal playing field made unequal be generations of racism equal is not improper. Neither is it a concession to any inferiority. The truth is that whites have enjoyed undeserved advantages FAR more than blacks have and there is nothing wrong with common sense policies to even out the field. But what really exposed your mentality is the fact that even today, if anything unfair is done in favour of whites, you support it. Where any white supremacist action is taken against blacks you support it. Where white supremacists make racists statements against blacks, you support them. You go out of your way to support the mistreatment and denigration of blacks everywhere no matter what. This shows what you really are. |
