Goodvibes007: What a funny thread, just conspiracy theories and meaningless cartoons Nairaland do have them. I am suprised Musiwa(Becomerich) hasn't posted on here too.
“The Governor is disappointed that the federal government declined his request for financial support,” spokesman Teddy Tschann said in a statement. “As we navigate one of the most difficult periods in our state’s history, we look for support from our federal government to help us through.”

Obama pitted the black community against the police for reasons known to him and that was what gave birth to more blacks getting ki6by the police and guards during his administration, leading to Ferguson and what we have today.
The Identity crisis of the mixed race is causing problems for black people everywhere, from Jussie Smollett to Bubba Wallace and Obama, it's the same story.
My mother is a huge fan of Barack Obama. The house is decked out with portraits of the President and Michelle, including some from his inauguration, which she attended. I’ve never seen her this excited for any President, including Bill Clinton.
This type of sentiment is typical of many black Americans, who have a brimming sense of pride over the first black President. This is not so much because they agree with his policies—in fact, many black Americans, while Democrats, identify as conservative—but rather due to a sense of victory that after so many years of slavery and segregation, we’ve finally arrived at the point where the American people are willing to accept a black President.
Yet all is not well. Under President Obama, many black folks think racial division has increased, not decreased. A family friend, who is a Democrat and an Obama supporter, recently curiously remarked, “I’ll be glad when Obama is out of office.” He said this not as an affront to President Obama, but as an acknowledgement that the state of racial affairs seems to have gotten worse under him.
Many whites feel the same way, which is one reason Donald Trump is popular. His outright rejection of political correctness that many Americans are sick of seems like a step in the right direction to his supporters, who hope removing PC will allow for honest dialogue without fear of being called racist amidst an environment that has become increasingly charged and accusatory.
Why is this the case? How did we get to a spot where black and white perceptions on race are so divergent, and we are more divided than ever? It starts with how you view our country.
Either You’re an Optimist or Pessimist
My view of America is that we are a place of great promise and opportunity, where someone like me, who is the grandchild of illiterate black Southern sharecroppers, can achieve success and reach the American dream. We are a place occupied by fair-minded, hard-working people whose culture and values have built a nation that is the envy of the world. I am proud to be a part of that culture.
Our Founders, while imperfect and a product of their times, were visionary heroes who made hard choices and compromises to give us the successful system we have today. Because Americans are good, we’ve worked hard over time to right the wrongs in our society that our Founding Fathers could not eliminate in their time. In summary, we are a fundamentally decent people blessed to live in a phenomenal land with a rich heritage.
But not so for President Obama. His view of our nation seems to be very different than mine and that of many other Americans. I believe that when President Obama thinks of America, more so than a place of hope or opportunity, he thinks of a place where racist white Christian fundamentalists came here from Europe, committed genocide against Native Americans, enslaved and segregated black people, denied women, gays, and other minorities their rights, and used capitalism and a rigged legal system to oppress poor people for centuries. He also believes this is still continuing today.
Given this view of America as an evil place in need of forceful justice for her sins, the President’s overarching goal has been to eliminate what he sees as the structural, institutionalized discrimination that defines America. He has done this by taking every opportunity to see disparities between groups as evidence of discrimination, then using all available resources to fight this perceived discrimination by going to war against the Americans he believes are responsible for it, who are almost always whites, men, police, and Christians.
A small sampling of the ways he has done this are: accusing whites of "white privilege," which means having an unfair advantage due to being white, an advantage built upon oppressing minorities; accusing the police and justice system at large of racism; blaming pay differences between men and women on discrimination; and casting Islamic radicalism as a legitimate response to discrimination (ostensibly by white Christians).
This strategy has had two effects: 1) It’s caused the alleged victims of the perceived discrimination to become more militant, hostile, and only willing to make demands and not willing to engage in dialogue due to increasing their sense of victimhood, and 2) It’s caused the alleged perpetrators of the perceived discrimination to feel unfairly blamed for problems that are not their fault, thus less willing to engage in dialogue with people who will do nothing but accuse them of wrongdoing.
In other words, both sides are moving away from each other. This means that, contrary to unifying the nation, the President’s leadership has caused division and discord.
Discrimination Is Not the Biggest Problem for Minorities
In addition to failing to unify the nation, the President’s leadership philosophy has also failed to solve the underlying problems supposedly caused by discrimination. This is due to his failure to understand two critical truths: 1) Unequal outcomes do not constitute proof of discrimination. Thus policies attempting to produce equal results between groups through eliminating discrimination will accomplish nothing when the unequal outcomes are not caused by discrimination in the first place, and 2) While actual discrimination exists, most of the ills minorities face in today’s America are not caused by discrimination, but rather by factors such as complete family breakdown engendered by the welfare state and reduced employment prospects due to globalization, illegal immigration, and automation. So again, policies to remedy discrimination will do nothing to solve problems that are not caused by discrimination in the first place.
Sure enough, this is exactly what the data shows. With the exception of the unemployment rate, black Americans are worse off in many categories under President Obama, including: labour force participation, the percentage of people below the poverty line, real median income, the number of black people on food stamps, the percentage of black people who own homes, and the black-white test score gap in education. Thus, far from unifying the nation, and far from ending the social ills he believes are caused by discrimination, President Obama has—perhaps unwittingly—caused America to become more polarized and divided, and brought us no closer to solving the key problems stunting black achievement.
This is all this man said and the communist democrats went after him and tried to destroy his company but the whole thing fell flat. And tweeter banning conservative memes.
There's something called tribunal where most of them are being handled because America is a nation of law and the wheel of justice turns very slowly especially when Trump has to upstage the shadow govt that has refused to let him govern in peace at every point.
Why do you think the democrats introduced coronavirus and organized violence? It is to give Trump enough distractions and cause as much chaos as possible, so they won't have to go to prison.
America is at war, expect more chaos but the covid-19 will end on November 4. There will still be more riot before the elections, the one we saw was a test run, California is about to release 8,000 more violent criminals to help as foot soldiers in all the 50 states. There will also be more riot after the elections because of mail-in votes that democrats will keep bringing in after the votes have been counted, claiming they found them in cars, trucks or anywhere. The patriots won't allow them in and that's where the problem will start, democrats know this and can avoid it by going to the poll with their ID and vote or do absentee ballots but won't because they know they are all dead when Trump is reelected.
feedthenation: But Trump, his Attorney General Barr and the Republican senate have all the resources at their disposal to persecute the names on your list, why is that not happening throughout Trump presidency...maybe it is Obama's fault.
What part is it that you don't get in Roger Stone wanted to fight his case and that is the reason he asked for commutation rather than pardon?
The case should have been declared a mistrial to start with if not the politics of it.
Roger Stone wants attention and has a lot to offer, reason the deepstate is in panic mode and frothing in the mouth.
Roger Stone is a marker that Jullian Assange is coming out soon.
Watch out for the connection story of Roger Stone, Wikileak and Seth Ridge, a democrat intern who was shot dead by MS13 gang members who were also assassinated the same night.
feedthenation: DOJ has just posted Roger Stone's clemency order with the court, noting in an accompanying letter:
"Roger J. Stone’s felony convictions—for obstructing the United States Congress, making false statements, and tampering with a witness—still stand."
When Obama's high school classmates were shell shocked to find out that their class dunce got into Harvard, we thought it was a one-off but Tucker is hitting it home now.
It's no secret that the deepstate wards are as dumb as they come yet they get in the ivy league schools because it's what money can buy.
Black Lives Matter wants to get black people killed with the way they got about killing innocent white people. How before the whites say they have has it?
You will never see Trump wear covid-19 mask like the zombies, the places he's worn masks are places he would any day because of the nature of the rooms.
He wore it in a harzard room of GM and now where it is necessary, around the sick and injured soldiers who probably have their immune systems compromised.
feedthenation: Trump will surely get a nobel health prize for finally wearing a face mask
Anything the deepstate media says is the opposite.
Roger Stone is not a convict and that's why he requsted to have his sentence commuted so he could fight on. The case will be overturned on appeal when many of the lunatic judges answer for their crimes. Even John Roberts knows his seat is vacant and ready to be filled by Trump, just keep watching the movie.
Robert Mueller himself is going to jail if he doesn't commit suicide and shouldn't be talking if not for the war going on.
feedthenation: Robert Mueller: Roger Stone remains a convicted felon, and rightly so
Robert S. Mueller III served as special counsel for the Justice Department from 2017 to 2019.
The work of the special counsel’s office — its report, indictments, guilty pleas and convictions — should speak for itself. But I feel compelled to respond both to broad claims that our investigation was illegitimate and our motives were improper, and to specific claims that Roger Stone was a victim of our office. The Russia investigation was of paramount importance. Stone was prosecuted and convicted because he committed federal crimes. He remains a convicted felon, and rightly so.
We made every decision in Stone’s case, as in all our cases, based solely on the facts and the law and in accordance with the rule of law. The women and men who conducted these investigations and prosecutions acted with the highest integrity. Claims to the contrary are false.
FBI Wray just made a statement about China being the biggest threat to America with a new attack investigation opened every 10 hours and every one of them is leading to Beijing and over 2,000 active investigations on the Chinese govt.
OLAADEGBU: The Democrats are also pretending not to see how China is placing their knee on Hong Kong's neck, this shows how they are doing China's bidding.
Democrats have been working to make China the new world order headquarters and done everything to bankrupt America just to succeed in doing that.
I will find a video where senator Feinstein said she's "proud to join hands with China to to make her work about century of the pacific." This is why Trump keeps using the word treason but liberals think it's a joke.
OLAADEGBU: The Democrats are also pretending not to see how China is placing their knee on Hong Kong's neck, this shows how they are doing China's bidding.
Democrats are silencing freedom of speech again, this should make Goya extra money as people who didn't care about this very brand are now going to spend money on it. I know I will be all about Goya brand this weekend.

To those saying that the supreme court ruled that Trump should release his tax returns,, well that did not happen, there was no ruling and you need to stop watching fake news.
The supreme court did NOT rule on it, it was remanded back to lower court by 9-0 decision and the separation of powers will take care of that because of the constitution and all Trump wanted from the scotus was more deference.
The reason the scotus sent the case back to the lower court is to give Trump the opportunity to defend himself as the constitution has already made it impossible for district attorneys to go on with presidential harassment for political gains.
There won't be any Trump's tax returns or financial records any time this year and it's all a nothing burger at the end of the day.
Ths case is going nowhere, all you will have is a long and drawn out litigation, sorry people!
Who knows if Trump could decide to give us an October surprise in form of releasing his taxes, but knowing who he is, he won't because he doesn't cower under pressure.
It turned out that Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested 9 months ago and had been working secretly with the administration to turn in her friends and partners.
This woman has been linked with missing and murdered children from Jon Bennett to Natalie Holloway who I think Trump was talking about when he said they have rescued a missing person.
Ghislaine is so powerful she once sat on Queen Elizabeth's throne, she also has all types of licenses including submarine and owns one.
Ghislaine Maxwell has handed over thousands of pictures to the authorities, expect the coming weeks and months to be the hottest.
