EnergyEnergy:What the pilot did is considered standard maneuver in aviation. The grouse was that it wasn't authorized. It wasn't authorized because he didn't communicate it. Had he radioed it in, the radar guys would have even advised him based on comms readings (which wouldn't have detected any 'obstacle' at that trajectory). 40 years of hauling steel into the sky isn't like driving Uber. |

temitope27:Tribalism remains the senior brother to racism. Anyone who survives tribalism should have no qualms about racists. |
Players fit go collect cane for training. This Italian team is so untypical and full of softies. I believe the Italian FA might be trying to solve a football philosophy problem. There's a way Italy plays! Maybe his type of approach is what Italy needs to go back to the glory days of their characteristic rugged approach to the game. Maybe another Italian Renaissance is on the horizon. |
Watcharena:First off: I DO NOT CARE about taking me serious(ly). Secondly: You had your chance to present a rebuttal but you didn't. That's what lazy people do - gaslight, critize and assume everyone cares. Thirdly (should have been first): My opinion is academic. Do I have latent sentiments about this? Yes! But am I going to put them up here? No. |
When a country ALLEGEDLY kills enemy diplomats on foreign soil, it’s not just an act of war. Here it’s a dark mirror held up to human nature itself. It's a play at survival. Strip away the politics, the justifications, the diplomatic language, and what’s left? A simple, brutal truth: when backed into a corner, humans (and the nations they build) will lash out with whatever means they have. This kind of attack isn’t about strategy. It’s about survival. A weak or desperate nation, unable to win a fair fight, turns to deception and brutality because it’s the only way left to prove it still matters. It’s like a wounded animal when cornered, scared, and willing to do anything to survive. The message isn’t just for the enemy; it’s for the world: "We still have teeth." I sha see a terrible irony here. By breaking the rules (murdering diplomats in another country) the attacking nation might win a small battle, but it unleashes a new playbook. Once one country does this, others will follow. Soon, no embassy is safe. No diplomat can be sure they won’t be the next target. The world becomes a place where violence is expected, and where the only law is power. Everything will cast. We’ve seen this before. When Russia poisons defectors in Europe, when Iran hunts dissidents abroad, when warlords hire mercenaries to do their dirty work. And each time these happens, the world becomes a little more lawless. And each time, it gets harder to go back. This isn’t just politics. It’s human nature. Fear makes us cruel. Power makes us reckless. And once violence becomes a tool, it’s hard to put down. The question isn’t whether this will happen again (of course it will). The question is whether we’ll let it become the new normal. History says we probably will. |
A pro-Palestinian man is in custody after allegedly killing two Israeli embassy staff members who were leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night, authorities confirmed. Metropolitan Police Department Chief Pamela Smith said during a news conference that officers responded to multiple calls of a shooting near the museum at around 9:08 p.m. on Wednesday. When authorities arrived at the scene, a man and a woman were found unconscious and not breathing. Despite life-saving efforts from first responders, Smith said both were pronounced dead. A 30-year-old man identified as Elias Rodriguez, of Chicago, is believed to have committed the act alone and is in custody, Smith said, adding that his gun was also recovered. https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/two-israeli-embassy-staffers-shot-dead-outside-dc-event-suspect-allegedly-yelled-free-palestine

There’s an unspoken pressure in modern masculinity to treat sex like an athletic event. We now talk about it as something measured in rounds, stamina, and output. But reducing intimacy to a performance metric misses the point entirely. The most transformative moments of connection aren’t about quantity. They’re about depth, the kind that lingers long after the act itself. The expectation that men must "last longer" or "go multiple rounds" frames sex as a test of endurance rather than an experience to be shared. But pleasure isn’t a numbers game. It’s the unscripted laughter, the way skin reacts to touch, the sudden intensity of being fully present with another person. Memory doesn’t catalog repetitions, memory it holds onto what felt real. When sex becomes about proving competence, the body turns into a machine calibrated for output rather than meaning. But true intimacy isn’t mechanical. It’s improvisational. The best lovers aren’t the ones with the most stamina, but the ones who understand that sex isn’t something you do but it's something that happens, an exchange that can’t be fully controlled. What if one deeply felt encounter carries more power than a dozen routine ones? The insistence on multiple rounds as a measure of skill misunderstands what makes sex unforgettable. It’s not the duration, but the way it reshapes you. A single moment can leave you different than before. The defiance lies in rejecting the performance trap, to be free from the tyranny of expectation. The most electric experiences often arrive unplanned, slipping past technique and flourishing on their own terms. True competence isn’t about repetition. It’s about recognition. It's about that ability to see and be seen, to let the moment matter more than the method. Great sex isn’t manufactured; it’s felt. And what makes it unforgettable isn’t how much of it there was, but how true it was while it lasted. Because in the end, performance can be faked. Real connection can’t. |

The international system is a complex machine that pretends to run on rules, but actually runs on fragility and human stubbornness. Justice without enforcement is like a beautiful theory that collapses under the slightest pressur. It might look good on paper but it fails in practice. Power keeps the game going, but it is never as reliable as those who wield it believe. Why? Because every dominant player thinks their strength will last forever, until suddenly it doesn’t. Reciprocity is just the system’s way of keeping score. It's not fair nor moral. It's just a method to prevent total chaos. But the weak are not as weak as they seem, and the strong are never as strong as they think. Sooner or later, someone refuses to follow the script. That's what's at play here. Human nature ensures that no system remains stable for long. The planners and strategists build their models, convinced they can predict outcomes, while history laughs at their arrogance. Real change sometimes comes from the overlooked actor who refuses to back down, the small player who turns asymmetry into advantage. This is because the most dangerous illusion is believing that power is permanent or that justice is anything more than what the powerful can enforce. Yet somehow, against all logic, people keep fighting for fairness, keep resisting domination, keep surprising those who think they control the game. That’s the truth: systems break, but humanity adapts. The future belongs not to those who enforce order, but to those who survive disorder. |
This article is spineless. The people are not complaining but a foreigner is crying catarrh over another nation's problem. We have our own issues and they won't go away in the next 15 years. But there's a very realistic possibility that Burkina Faso will overtake Nigeria in the next 15 years. The reason is simple: I'd rather have a ruler who's hungry for glory than another who's desperate for power. History is full of appropriate examples |
The weakest president in Nigeria's history. The very reason we are in this mess. Fatally Indecisive. Extremely myopic and clueless about the utility of power. A modern day Esau. Sold out the future of his nation under the guise of "my ambition is not worth the blood..." nonsense. A whole Commander in Chief! Give me his wife any day and twice on a Sunday for the presidency. This endorsement is straight from a political playbook to divide and conquer a political bloc. |
cococandy:The executive order DOES NOT directly call for 280 million acres of national forests and other protected public lands to be clear-cut. Do you know what 280 million acres represent? 280 MILLION ACRES! (TOTAL forested area in the US is at 193 million BTW). The order allows federal agencies to bypass environmental protection laws in order to increase domestic timber and lumber production whilst expanding domestic logging production on FEDERAL LANDS. This move is very predictable and expected in the current trades war situation with Canada which is America's biggest supplier of timber (who are also cutting millions of trees to generate trade export and have not left anything for their children in the future). |
If you're not seeing that these policies are a LONG TERM win for a country of over HALF A BILLION consumers; then I don't know what else to tell you. Moribund sectors will wake up and fill up the importation deficits with changes in consumption culture imminent. Trump might be considered to be terrible by a number of people but this is a win for America's future - albeit a loss for the rest.

Please I'd suggest you listen keenly to the suggestions of many folks who are irritated with the ethnopolitical cesspool of hatred this forum has become: 1. Provide option of blocking users for registered profiles. 2. Provide a downvote and upvote feature. 3. ....more robust registration requirements. 4. Create a user badge ranking system to promote and reward users who post or reply intelligently. This way 'sense-making' comments will gain traction. I know I will be wasting my efforts (I personally do not believe you are willing or sincere about tackling this issue) but I can do anything to satisfy my conscience.

ebubeson:Fornicate. Fornication. Immorality. Adultery Fornicate. Fornication. Immorality. Adultery Fornicate. Fornication. Immorality. Adultery All you bring into judgement are these and their likes - not even the "weightier matters" like greed, avarice, fake prophecies, prophetic coercion, emotional blackmail, misappropriation of church funds, neglecting vulnerable members and widows, bias and partiality, satanic endorsement of politicians, intimidation of fellow pastors and church workers, stealing and diverting church funds... Can I go on? Happy Sunday to you too. |

Augustine2244:Let me guess; a 'Christian' wrote this. 😂 BTW, MC has no legacy YET in the music industry. I'm a fan of her vocals though. |
glacswhite:The Ngwa are the LARGEST sub-ethnic Igbo group. It's very paradoxical to suggest that Ogbo people (who are not even in the top 20 sub ethnic groups) are making them feel inferior. Okezie didn't build his Ngwaland. He didn't invest in his people. He was so unpopular among HIS OWN people that he failed woefully in his Senate election. Celebrating a "beautiful flyover" is the easiest signalling of mediocrity. BTW, I'm not a native of anyone of these people. |
CJStarz:The immediate past governor was an Ngwaman and he did NOTHING for his people....oh sorry - he built one flyover in eight years. Please start from there and you might see who looked down on you. |

RealityKings1:Some people would agree. Some people would disagree. |
Money rituals is nothing but supernatural advantage which influences metaphysical outcomes. The subject makes sacrifices to a spiritual entity who in turn either lobbies or commands other entities of the same creed to grant you concessions i.e you might roll a dice and they will alter it at the last moment so you get a six, A consumer might just find your goods more visually appealing than your competitors'. Your voice suddenly sounds more humane and appealing when pitching a business deal. If you're a prostitute, every vulnerable man now finds your body extremely appealing because it's being projected to be a lifetime experience - they are willing to pay overboard to sleep with you. You have to understand that the spirits actually work on other people who might have a role to play in your success by manipulating their perception of reality or by simulating a different reality SUBTLY. The accumulated outcome gives you advantage. Physics or physical events are not static or stable. They are highly dynamic in nature. Funny enough we try to scientifically explain them as a continuation of natural phenomena. For an example, Roberto Carlos long-range freekick against France on June 3, 1997 has a scientific explanation. It's known as The Magnus Effect which happens when a body in flight 'spins' due to interaction with the surrounding air. That's a good explanation. Physicists have explained it and supplied formulas. But there's a possibility that a spiritual being supplied the so-called 'spin'. When a ball hits the bar at the last moment and a match-wiinning opportunity is denied, is it always down luck and chance or are supernatural decision-makers involved. When an assassin's bullet misses the victim because he turned his head at the last moment, it is down to failed physics or is a third force involved? Selah |
Only two of these bills are relevant. You can't legislate people into good values. Values are system issues. Recreate the system and everything falls into place. Serious Question: Do we really need more states? The problem of SE isn't political structure. It's political misappropriation. They have very visionless politicians with no motivation to build legacies. If they clean the house, they'd become what the state of California is to the USA. They have ALL it takes save for the personnel. Even Geography favours them. |
Wisconsin is RED. Stop the count. |
SlavaUkraini:Oga wear your cap! One of the campaign promises made by Trump is to release the tapes, as well as the Epstein list and declassifying JFK files |
It's Unofficial: Donald Trump will be the 47th President of The United States. |
