Appleyard:
Dear Lucasbalo, now that you're grinning from ears to eyes, where is my plate of hotdog you promised me? Or you think I don forget? .....for the Trump victory....?

Lucasbalo:
If you are in Lagos we can hook up if not it's gonna be a rain check .

Appleyard:
Unfortunately for me, am not in Lagos. I reside in Delta, where we use teeth to hold bullets... What's cooking man? How are you enjoying your stay? The country is currently wallowing in recession.....

stanech:
What are these great policies that Obama could have carried out but was blocked by the republican congress?

Please don't say gun control. Because Chicago is not the only city with guns

Tax on Companies that ship jobs overseas- A bill that would have eliminated a tax break that companies get when they ship jobs overseas. Republicans blocked this, allowing companies to keep the tax break they receive when they ship jobs to other countries

"Friends needs to tell each other the Hard Truth"..John Kerry.. Watching John Kerry make reference to the Building of Israeli Settlement in the West Bank a move that was denied by the UN last week..
Netanyahu and He's fellow Jews are Fools and African Christians who preach in their churches about the occupation of Palestine in their Bible should be shot at close range..

ValerianSteel:
Please don't generalize.Not all us support Bibi in this direction,liberal Jews like myself don't.I see a conflict that will never end if Bibi and the Likud party continue to have their way.Palestine has an army of Arab sympathizers and terrorist factions that support them but Israel has the upper hand militarily so nothing will change.

Both parties here don't want dialogue,they intend to keep playing Winner takes it all,Loser bleeds till he dies.Israel can't be touched or influenced by the UN resolution,nothing,absolutely noting will change.Israel calls the shots,every other follows.

I don't support everything Bibi does on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict but I know Israel would never yield the settlements,in fact,approval has been granted for more to be built.As long as Bibi leads,the UN should take a back seat,Bibi has shown too much contempt for decisions made their and would never abide by resolutions it doesn't agree to.

happney65:
Please dont get me wrong..In as much as i dont like the Palestinians,I know Isreal has a right to defend itself..Yes she does..However,Like Kerry said building more settlements of such is more or less not wanting Peace and putting an end to a two state solution..

As Liberals always want,A two state Solution agreed by both Parties is the Solution to the crises while Tel-Aviv remains the Jewish Capital and not Jerusalem.I saw Bibi's Response too and i would still go with Kerry/Obama Peace deal anyday anytime..

I would also blame the Palestinians but i would still not blame them too,cos Isreal too would never accept such.However with Trump threatening Fire and Brimstone and claiming he would move the American Embassy to Jerusalem is tantamount to calling for War and Chaos..

The Palestinians deserve a right,Yes A Right to live as Citizens in their own Land and not being suppressed..

Thank You

When the Palestinian leadership party Hamas, has on their charter the destruction of the Israeli state

I dont see anything wrong in Israel taking any steps to defend itself.

if someone made it his life goals to seek my destruction, I will do anything within my power to stop him and I believe any rational human will do the same

gesundheit:
Are the Hamas controlling the west bank too?? There is an extreme one state policy by bibi and his extremist likuid party to enforce a one state. They have violated the Oslo accord with unprecedented settlements well into Palestinian territories and still oppressing these folks by bulldozing buildings on private lands.

raumdeuter:
The Palestinian govt have been known to be notoriously unreliable

I remembered in 2005, when Ariel Sharon the then Israeli Prime Minister and one of the greatest statemen I respect pulled out of Gaza and faced insults from his own people just to satisfy the the Palestinian and bring peace, what happened? It became a launching pad of rockets into Israel. And where the terrorists are groomed to come into Israel to wreck havoc.

Ariel Sharon handed Gaza to Fatah, within months Hamas took over and now Gaza is a hotbed of terrorism directed at Israel

gesundheit:
Hamas is a political party that won votes, one man terrorist is another man freedom fighter. No one deserve the blockade by the Israelites. Did the apartheid south Africans try to sustain a armed rebellion to the white overlords?? Why did the black Panthers arise as an opposition to the segregation??. You can't beat me and still wanna dictate how I cry. Please go on ground and see things first, FYI the Palestinian Christians are their kicking balls too, ban on Sunday services and Christmas plus restrictions on activities in the church of nativity.

Lucasbalo:
It is ok. Nigeria will come out of the recession. It's world wide recession but the pressure must be unrelenting against the leadership.

CFCman:
President-elect Trump will write his own inaugural speech. There won't be any input from speechwriters.

oyb:
if you believe that you'll believe anything.

all his 'books' were ghostwritten; the man can barely put together five sentences ; and suddenly he says hes going to write his own inaugural speech?

Appleyard:
Yeah, you're right! The whole world seem to be reeling round some form of economic misfortune, as global productivity and households income are facing some form of uncertainty. Here in Nigeria, some folks would have been cooking their banga soup under the anus of President Muhammadu Buhari, if it were possible..... The thing is that, its not entirely his fault, and like you said, this too will go, but I feel its gonna linger on for a while; maybe till Q2 in 2017...

Enjoy your stay man....

ValerianSteel:
We share the same sentiments and I see war and chaos brewing soon because neither parties want to engage in effective dialogue.Please note that Israel has previously dismantled settlements in the Gaza Strip,Sinai Peninsula and even in West Bank because there was dialogue not the state we are in now where nobody is talking to anybody even at the world stage.

The settlements can end only if there's dialogue and that won't happen as long as Bibi stays in power.You want to see a solution,pray Bibi somehow doesn't wield power anymore and no right wing war hawk gets in as PM.Till then,it's Israel against the world and Israel takes orders from no one,the UN can pass a million resolutions but nothing will change cause Israel won't respect it and the Jewish lobby currently has republican leadership by the balls,the next administration is 100% behind Bibi and Lieberman.The settlements will keep expanding and no one can do a thing but condemn.

Read full Joint Analysis Report from DHS and FBI on Russian Hacking activity.

Zoharariel:
My Jewish priend, when will you stop masturbating on the concocted Russian hacking analysis?

Now, I am beginning to really miss Hurricane Mathew. Are you still in Florida?

ValerianSteel:
Why are you deflecting when even the whole world knows the obvious?

Just a reminder that Congress has 9% approval rating.If they were doing their jobs or lifted a finger to help the Democratic President I don't think both republican and democratic voters would be expressing their dissatisfaction in the republican Congress with a very low approval rating.

Here's your Republican Obstructions:

1.Tax on Companies that ship jobs overseas- A bill that would have eliminated a tax break that companies get when they ship jobs overseas. Republicans blocked this, allowing companies to keep the tax break they receive when they ship jobs to other countries.

2.Political Ad disclosure bill- Would have required all donors to political campaigns to reveal themselves. Republicans blocked this, not once but twice.

3.Subpoena Power for the Committee investigating the BP Oil Spill – Give subpoena power to the independent committee responsible for investigating BP’s roll in the oil spill. Republicans attempted to block this.

5.The DREAM Act- Gives immigrant youth who were brought here as children a path to citizenship by earning a college degree or serving the military for 2 years. Republicans blocked this.

6.Repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”- Would have repealed the law that forces gay and lesbian services members to lie about their sexuality and gives the military the right to discharge soldiers based on their sexuality. Republicans blocked this many times and Democrats were finally able to pass it with the support of just 2 Republicans.

7.Senator Franken’s Anti-Rape Amendment to the Defense Appropriations Bill – Makes it so that women raped overseas while working for foreign contractors have the right to have their case heard in an American court instead of having their case mediated by the company they work for. Only Republican men voted against this, but it passed.

12.Wall Street Reform- Puts stricter regulations on the banks, preventing them from becoming “too big to fail”. Curbs reckless spending practices that caused the banking crisis. Republicans attempted to block this.

13.American Recovery and Reinvestment Act- Pumped billions of dollars into state and local Governments to prevent us from sinking into a second Great Depression. Republicans opposed this but now want to take credit for the parts of it that we know are successful.

14.Oil Spill Liability- Raises the liability on what companies can be made to pay to clean up after an oil spill. Republicans blocked this.

15.Immigration Reform- Republican suggested comprehensive immigration reform until Obama supported it. Now they’re rabidly opposed to it and even voted against their own legislation. Republicans blocked this.

16.Unemployment extension bill HR-4213- Would provide additional aid to the millions of Americans still on unemployment who are just trying to support themselves and their families. Republicans blocked this bill for 8 weeks before it finally passed. Republicans blocked this for 8 weeks before it finally passed.

Tell me again how Republicans have helped the little guy.



This is the perfect example.I told you earlier The failed policies of the Republican Party bled this country of jobs not the actions or inactions of the Democratic President.They allowed the jobs to leave and now Der Fuhrer performs magic with huge tax cuts and millions in incentives that would bleed the economy.Thanks Republicans,you've done a great job.

U.S sanctions Russia for "vote hack". Obama fighting to cover up Hillary's ass, still blaming it on Putin. I think he's playing his last card, to worsen the U.S-Russia relationship, or possibly to force a war out of nothing.

Breaing: CNN

Russia's Foreign Ministry has recommended that the Kremlin expel 35 US diplomats from Russia, in response to Washington ordering 35 Russian diplomats to leave America on Thursday


Obama is an idiot. So what next?
