bemeruca:I can't start from the beginning. If you didn't get, forget it. Or try reading more carefully and more thoughtfully next time. Because if you did, you wouldn't have been shouting "excuses" up and down, only to come back and say that every single one matters. |

More people victimized by the anti free speech Trump administration need to start suing. Especially on the Kirk issue. Tennessee officials will pay $835,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by a man who was jailed for more than a month over a Facebook post he made about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Those historical factors are a fact as you have eloquently elucidated them. They are in the past,we are in the present. You have covered the past. Now explain why we are not moving forward, Why don't we have government forecasting population growth 10 years ahead and scaling up water reservoirs, electrical generation, transport infrastructure, 4G connectivity etc ahead of time. We have a fully functional National Bureau of Statistics. Bequeathed to us by our colonial masters. DeepSight: |

basilico:Progress is being made albeit slowly and painfully and in a scattered and disjointed manner. In some sectors there is stagnation and regression but overall the trajectory still is forward. There is a lot to be done and improved on, we need to get our ideology and politics right as a starter as so much depends on right leadership. On a practical note, if anyone asks me, I will say the key to the future is aggressive industrialization. On a dreamy and idealist note, I will like to see Africa unite. A United States of Africa was a dream of several independence pan-Africanists such as Kwame Nkrumah, Julius Nyerere, Robert Mugabe and Nnamdi Azikiwe and even became a dream of Ghadaffi. If we are able to achieve it, and I concede it looks very unlikely - men, that is the single thing that will bring Africa to the table with real weight. |

You can't industrialize without reliable ,cheap and abundant energy. The market is there. There are no excuses whatsoever to company executive in the private sector making losses when their product can't meet demand. Govt should facilitate industrial development by availing a favourable business climate and steering off non essential sectors. Take a massive housing construction boom. Target a million homes a year, use local materials. Force manufacturers to build everything from nuts,bolts, gauge wire, plugs,taps ,pegs , nails etc locally..This should be a years long development goal then finally move in to construction. That was just one example of an idea that would encourage industrialization. Develop a parallel competitive financial sector in the process. You don't industrialize without a market.Use the existing local market demand for homes . DeepSight: |

True the independent are around 40-45% with the rest almost equally split. The pollsters I tend to believe are deliberately skewered and oriented towards a certain result. bemeruca:6 |

Cococandy.
If you had a girl child you'd be comfortable a school counselor advising her to get a mastectomy , take testosterone. If you had a boy child you'd be happy the counselor advising him to take oestrogen + progesterone and have his wee wee cut off. And all this be done without your knowledge . California has a law similar to that.

raumdeuter:Kash isn't a cabinet member and Chavez is out. Only Turner is the person with an actual skin colour difference, sure the others are POC but have European roots as well. To answer your question, according to Pew Research the demographics of POC Trump voters was: Black: 15% Hispanic: 48% Asian: 40% https://www.jstor.org/stable/resrep71263.9?seq=1 |

Deepsight. Rep. Ayanna Pressley took the stage and declared that every ounce of American success was built on the backs of Black Americans—then demanded reparations as payback. Such talk is not helpful.

AG Todd Blanche has indicted an assistant US attorney in southern Florida who reportedly worked with Special Counsel Jack Smith in the documents case. Judge Aileen Cannon essentially placed Volume II of Smith's report on the case under seal, forbidding anyone at DOJ or any government agency from sharing the report. Why? Because she had dismissed the document indictment in July 2024 after concluding Smith's appointment was unconstitutional. But is appears this prosecutor, Carmen Lineberger, stole the report and tried to conceal what she did. A grand jury in Fort Pierce--the hive of the DOJ's grand conspiracy investigation--indicted Lineberger on four counts. Bigger question: who was she planning to leak the report to? Not like she stole it as a souvenir The timing of Lineberger’s theft of Jack Smith’s documents report also is suspicious. She sent it to her personal account a few weeks before Smith’s first deposition before House Judiciary. Democrats repeatedly raised the fact that Cannon had banned the report’s release; Smith also addressed it during his Congressional interview. At the opening of Smith’s interview, an individual who appears to be a staffer for Jamie Raskin complained about Cannon’s order prohibiting the release of the report.

basilico:As advanced as California is, I can promise you that we do not have the capacity to perform gender reassignment surgeries in our schools. Heck many schools are still fighting for free lunch for every student. School nurses can’t even give the kids Tylenol (paracetamol) without express parental written consent. The fact that you can believe we have plastic surgeons (arguably the highest paid surgeons), anesthesiologists, O.R nurses, surgical techs, circulating nurses and PACU (post anesthesia recovery unit) nurses, all lining up to give students free trans surgery in public schools tells me everything I need to know about you. This is the minimum staffing needed for a semi functional operating room. We haven’t even gotten into the logistics of how they would be obtaining O.R equipment. Sterilization of equipment. Lab services (all surgical patients must have labs prior to). Scrubs techs. Gosh you guys exasperate me. Your party knows you people are extremely gullible. That’s why they sell you hogwash like this to you without even considering how ludicrous it sounds to reasonable people. I thought Trump was steupid when he said boys are going to public school and coming him with gender reassignment surgeries performed on them. But it was probably a smart thing he said knowing people like would believe him. It’s scary how me$$ed up your minds are such that most bizarre things make sense to you. Scary. |

DeepSight:So we are back to what I have been saying? This is basically a concession to my point. After all the long talk about climate, colonialism, geography, and history, White man, your own solution is not changing or addressing any of that. Your solution is about leadership, ideology, politics, industrialization, and African unity. Hmmm, everyone's been trying to bang this points into your head. Aggressive industrialization and unity are good points. So you proved my argument: Africa’s future depends mainly on what Africans choose to build now, maintain and how they think about the future, their brothers and their unborn children. |

Walsh needs to be sworn in quick so he can cut rates and maga! The long-term bond market has completely blown off the Fed’s rate cuts. The more the Fed cut, the higher the 30-year yield rose.

Not so fast. This California law was blocked by supreme court. Overview of the Law (AB 1955) Passed in 2024, the SAFETY Act prohibits public school districts from enacting or enforcing "forced outing" policies. Under the state law: Consent Requirement School staff are barred from disclosing a student’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression to anyone—including parents—without the student's explicit consent. Employee Protection: The law shields teachers and administrators from retaliation or disciplinary action if they refuse to notify parents. State Argument: California officials argued that the policy protects a minor's constitutional right to privacy and safeguards vulnerable students from potential family rejection or abuse. Clearly California want to transition your kids without you knowing until it's too late. And yes I know you don't support gender transitions. I have no problem with gays or lesbians, I have worked with gays and lesbians. I had a close friend who is a lesbian,says she never had sex with a man and can never. Apparently she has plenty of those penetrative toys .Gays and lesbians should do their thing without forcing the society to accept them has been my belief. I do have serious problems with those who push gender transitions to kids. No kid should be allowed or influenced to do so unless they are 18 years and above. Proposals by that community have been to block use of puberty blockers .What that means is before a kid is 10 /11 he or she starts undergoing the transition. Those kids are already sexualized. That kid should be growing normally but is instead seeking admiration over his body changes Everyone loves their body being complimented esp body builders. Who do you think compliments a young boy who is growing a pair of boobs ,no beards plus a bum bum to boot? Going by that vote 198 democrats voted no while all republicans voted to ban the transitions. The other day , Republicans in Oklahoma had other ideas about totally banning marriages below 18, based on their own interpretation of early pregnancies . Long and short ,democrats are the real paedophiles not Republicans. Hope this explains why I mentioned you on a seemingly unrelated matter . cococandy:

bemeruca:I honestly don't know how you reason. Analyzing a matter is a spectrum from cause to situation to correction. As I said with my analogy of the stages of a man's life. Here you are simply saying we should only analyse with the future in mind and throw away the past, the causes, and even the present reality. I am tired of your games. |
