Flangelo12:
Let me see what that Orange bigot would do.

They actually got permission from US before they could station their 'troops' there.

Guestmale:
Is it that those who are not financially viable to go on pilgrimage won't make heaven.

I ain't no Muslim bro

Just taking a cue from the information the state provides. That's all.

Yampotatocarrot:
See

You said the government "got" the money directly to the individuals (I believe you meant the government "gave"

But is it supposed to be? Is the money supposed to be given to them?

It wasn't a gift bro.

The money (at least leaning on this statement) was fully recovered.

The reason the government got involved was to enable those who wouldn't be able to meet up with the deadline get a chance. It was a very short term loan that individuals who qualified were thoroughly vetted and proven capable to refund.

Mrchippychappy:
So MURIC wan cash out 10 billi? See mind.

Like some foundational stuff you know.

They'll act as middle men between the state and the individuals interested so they could get their own cuts.

But the state was smarter, hand delivering the money themselves leaving MURIC in the dark

Mrchippychappy:
10 billion from Nigeria to Saudi. Wow, great use of our national funds

Nope bro, you got it wrong.

According to this statement the State borrowed those who wouldn't be able to meet up with the deadline set by Hajj Comm. some amount to be repayable in days, to qualify for this you have to proof that you are able enough to remit the funds in weeks.

The state goffer got fully refunded, Muric now going with their smir campaign because the state ignored them and instead got the money direct to the account of individuals that were fully vetted and approved.

That's my understanding of the damned story.

JUST IN: President Trump tells Iranian protesters "help is on its way."

"MIGA."

Source:https://x.com/i/status/2011087148917875128

Per Reuters

WASHINGTON, Jan 13 (Reuters) -

President Donald Trump on Tuesday told Iranians to keep protesting and said help was on the way, but did not elaborate on whether that meant possible U.S. action.
"Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING - TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!!... HELP IS ON ITS WAY," Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

Trump has previously said military action is among options he is weighing to punish Iran, which is seeing its biggest anti-government protests in years. About 2,000 people including security personnel have been killed in protests in Iran, an Iranian official said on Tuesday.
Late on Monday Trump also announced 25% import tariffs on products from any country doing business with Iran - a major oil exporter.


Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi told Al Jazeera on Monday that he had continued to communicate with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff during the protests and Tehran was studying ideas proposed by Washington.

They said "unlawful order" not lawful order.

He did a video telling troops not to obey Trump.

Is Trump not a lawful US president?

Emekaonline:
Senator Kelly should not bother. They just need to Campaign wiser for the midterm election so that you and other Democrats can take back your country from the racist bully by imeachibg him early next year and send him to jail. If Democrats take over both houses in November, the arrogant bully knows that husband end has comes

To stop this madness, the house needs to expedite in making voter Identification a necessity in every US ELECTION.

Do you know a huge democracy like US don't need a voter to identify before voting? that in Minnesota you can "vow" for at least eight people and they'll be cleared to vote irrespective of their citizenship status?

Republicans gonna sweep the midterm, Democrats cheating machine "illegal immigrant" are being dealt with. No loop hole for the far left.

As a veteran and a serving senator, asking military members not to obey lawful order is seditious.

@ZelenskyyUa

What is currently happening in Iran, including the widespread protests, is in fact a revolution, and it is also a clear sign that it will not be easier for Russia.

And every ordinary person on earth really wants the people of Iran to finally be fortunate enough to free themselves from the regime that exists there and has brought about a great deal of evil, including for Ukraine and other countries.

It is important that the world does not miss this moment, when change is possible. And every leader, every country, international organizations must now get involved and help the people eliminate those who are responsible, which unfortunately Iran has been in this way. Everything could be different.

JUST IN:Germany Chancellor

Merz says 'we are witnessing the final days and weeks of the Iranian regime.'

Per CNBC.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Tuesday said the embattled Iranian regime appears to be finished as mass protests continue across the country.

Speaking to reporters during his visit to India, Merz renewed calls for Iranian authorities to end their violence against demonstrators, adding that he hopes for a peaceful end to the escalating crisis.

"If a regime can only keep itself in power by force, then it's effectively at the end. I believe we are now seeing the final days and weeks of this regime," Merz said, in comments reported by Sky News.

"In any case, it has no legitimacy through elections in the population. The population is now rising up against this regime," he added.

Merz's comments come as Iran grapples with one of the most widespread anti-government demonstrations in years.

The Iranian government has claimed the prolonged protests are now under control, while human rights groups have reported that hundreds have been killed by Iranian security forces in recent weeks.

LordReed:
Self defense? She turned the car AWAY from the ICE agents so what was he defending from?

If she was turning away....

Why did the bullets pierce through the wind shield not the side window?

Her wife was on the ground recording clips for tik tok point, do you mean she was running or going away without her?

She was never in any danger prior to her accelerating the vehicle, only what the agents ask her to do was 'come down' cause she was blocking their way with her SUV.

There's a body cam footage release by the DHS, go have a look.

@Pontifex

In the current context, we are seeing an actual "short circuit" of #HumanRights.

The right to freedom of expression, freedom of conscience, religious freedom, and even the right to life are being restricted in the name of other so-called new rights, with the result that the very framework of human rights is losing its vitality and creating space for force and oppression. This occurs when each right becomes self-referential, and especially when it becomes disconnected from reality, nature, and truth.

<sub>She's white and middle class.

She was a widow previously married to a man, with young kids. Some Right wingers are trying to use that against her, not realizing all the world will see is a white, blond mum who had toys and plushies in her car.

She was in a LGBTQ partnership. Which means omo she got Gen Z on her side.

She was apparently protesting the harsh immigration removal policies.

She then tried to comply and let the officers go and they shot her as she was driving away.

The ICE agents then refused a Doctor that saw it all, help her with medical assistance.

Even some Right supporters are worried this will be the catalyst to stop their movement. There's not enough "but what about Charlie Kirk!!" that will save this from blowing up.

Trump now made it worse by defending the ICE agents and lying that they were in hospital receiving treatment from her "attack", when there's video of her trying to drive away and not touching them.

The Democrats just won the midterms with this.

Both sides are now getting worried that reprisal killings will escalate more.</sub>

You're very wrong with this analysis and it's obvious you're leaning your brain to the left.

Was she a widow? Yes.

She had children? Yes. But lost custody of the eldest two due to her leftist radicalized ideology which actually put the children in greater harms way. There's even an established fact that her "wife" was summoned for having their six year involved with a cigarette.

She left Missouri (her residence) to Minneapolis an eight hour drive ( 300 miles), to go protest ICE which means she's a carrier rioter who has no work but to obstruct, fight, impede federal agents doing their lawful duty.

She wasn't driving away neither was she scared, her "wife" was there urging her to 'drive baby drive ' when they all saw the agent was clearly at the rear.

She got her self killed for being stupid, go watch the body-cam recording of the agent. Her "wife" was even recording, which means they had this pre-planned so the could use it to spite the agents and gear up their fellow leftist had it happen the other way.

And don't compare this to Charlie Kirk. Kirk was killed while talking to student, holding up debate. He was shot by a radical leftist who was brainwashed by their never ending rhetoric against the right, calling them Nazi and fascist.

Ms Good died of her stupidity and with the body-cam recording now being release the agent had a reasonable fear to activate self defense.

In all this BRICS "power" show and alliance, I see South Africa as the pawn who's gonna cry bitterly when it eventually turn murky.

Remember they have no NUCLEAR WEAPON (a huge percentage of the alliance has), nor any effective air defense system.

sangresan:
This is not a Russian oil tanker. Some misinformed folks keep posting fake news to deceive gullible people. These are oil tankers that hurriedly procure Russian flags in order to escape US sanctions in the Venezuelan oil trade. Many of them were flying other national flags few months ago and they don't have Russian insurers in the first place.

Why did Russia send submarine and a ship to fight off the first seizure albeit unsuccessful?

Russia fired a nuclear-capable missile at Ukraine late Thursday in a retaliatory strike for an alleged attack on an official residence of President Vladimir Putin.

The Russian Defense Ministry said an Oreshnik hypersonic missile was launched from a strategic nuclear testing site during massive overnight bombing of the western Ukrainian city of Lviv, less than 50 miles from the Polish border.

Explosions were reported in Lviv after the threat of an intermediate-range ballistic missile was detected from Russia’s Kapustin Yar site just before midnight, the Ukrainian air force said in a statement early Friday.

The Oreshnik — Russian for hazel tree — is a hypersonic intermediate-range ballistic missile capable of carrying a nuclear payload and reaching Mach 10.

Ukrainian officials measured one missile, believed to be the Oreshnik, at 8,000 mph.

Russia also deployed drones and high-precision long-range land- and sea-based weapons during the late-night strikes.

“The strike’s targets were hit. The targets included facilities producing unmanned aerial vehicles used in the terrorist attack (allegedly against the Putin residence), as well as energy infrastructure supporting Ukraine’s military-industrial complex,” the ministry said in a statement.

Russian officials said the attack was in response to Putin’s claims that Ukraine had attempted to assassinate him at one of his residences with a massive drone strike in December.

CIA and Ukrainian officials dismissed the attack on Putin’s residence in the northwest Novgorod region, describing it as “a complete fabrication,” finding no evidence to support the Russian tyrant’s wild allegation.

Officials claimed the attack was Putin’s attempt to derail ongoing peace negotiations to end the nearly four-year-old invasion.

Thursday’s strike marks only the second time Russia has fired the missile across the border into Ukraine and signals an ominous threat to Ukraine and its Western allies.

It was first used in an attack around Dnipro back in November 2024.

Putin said he fired the first missile in response to Kyiv’s use of British and American missiles to attack Russian territory.

Putin described it as a medium-range missile, countering Ukraine’s claim that it was the first use of a full intercontinental ballistic missile.

The proximity of Thursday’s blast to NATO member Poland heightened fears of possible escalation.

Russian officials claimed the strikes damaged drone production sites and energy infrastructures.

Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovyi wrote on Telegram that the explosions damaged unspecified infrastructure.

Venezuela is releasing large numbers of political prisoners as a sign of "Seeking Peace." This is a very important and smart gesture. The U.S.A. and Venezuela are working well together, especially as it pertains to rebuilding, in a much bigger, better, and more modern form, their oil and gas infrastructure. Because of this cooperation, I have cancelled the previously expected second Wave of Attacks, which looks like it will not be needed, however, all ships will stay in place for safety and security purposes. At least 100 Billion Dollars will be invested by BIG OIL, all of whom I will be meeting with today at The White House. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President

UK provides support to U.S. seizure of Bella 1 accused of shadow fleet activities and Iran sanctions breaches

The UK has provided enabling support to the United States at their request to interdict the vessel Bella 1 today.

UK armed forces provided pre-planned operational support, including basing, to U.S. military assets interdicting the Bella 1 between the UK and Iceland following a U.S. request for assistance. RFA Tideforce is providing support for U.S. forces pursuing and interdicting the Bella 1, while the RAF provided surveillance support from the air.

The UK and U.S. defence and security relationship is the deepest in the world and the UK provided enabling support in full compliance with international law

Defence Secretary John Healey MP said:
Our UK Armed Forces showed skill and professionalism in support of a successful U.S. interception of the vessel Bella 1 while on its way to Russia. This action formed part of global efforts to crack down on sanctions busting.

This ship, with a nefarious history, is part of a Russian-Iranian axis of sanctions evasion which is fuelling terrorism, conflict, and misery from the Middle East to Ukraine.

The UK will continue to step up our action against shadow fleet activity to protect our national security, our economy, and global stability – making Britain secure at home and strong abroad.

The Bella 1 is sanctioned by the U.S. under its counter-Iran sanctions, aimed at stopping Iran from fuelling instability in the Middle East through the profits of illegal oil sales.

The ship, initially flying a false flag, turned off its transponders while at sea and sought to reflag while being pursued, indicating its nefarious links to global sanctions evasion.

Assessments going back several years that the Bella 1 has been involved in illegal activity, linked to international terrorism and crime including Hezbollah, and part of the web of rising shadow activity that fuels and finances nefarious activity across the globe

The Russian flagging of the vessel shows their role in this interconnected shadow activity we are seeing across the world, which threatens our national security, harms our economy and undermines global security.
