IDEAS
The Trump Presidency Is Over
It has taken a good deal longer than it should have, but Americans have now seen the con man behind the curtain.

MARCH 13, 2020

Contributing writer at The Atlantic and senior fellow at EPPC


When, in January 2016, I wrote that despite being a lifelong Republican who worked in the previous three GOP administrations, I would never vote for Donald Trump, even though his administration would align much more with my policy views than a Hillary Clinton presidency would, a lot of my Republican friends were befuddled. How could I not vote for a person who checked far more of my policy boxes than his opponent?

What I explained then, and what I have said many times since, is that Trump is fundamentally unfit—intellectually, morally, temperamentally, and psychologically—for office. For me, that is the paramount consideration in electing a president, in part because at some point it’s reasonable to expect that a president will face an unexpected crisis—and at that point, the president’s judgment and discernment, his character and leadership ability, will really matter.

David Frum: The worst outcome

“Mr. Trump has no desire to acquaint himself with most issues, let alone master them” is how I put it four years ago. “No major presidential candidate has ever been quite as disdainful of knowledge, as indifferent to facts, as untroubled by his benightedness.” I added this:

Mr. Trump’s virulent combination of ignorance, emotional instability, demagogy, solipsism and vindictiveness would do more than result in a failed presidency; it could very well lead to national catastrophe. The prospect of Donald Trump as commander in chief should send a chill down the spine of every American.

It took until the second half of Trump’s first term, but the crisis has arrived in the form of the coronavirus pandemic, and it’s hard to name a president who has been as overwhelmed by a crisis as the coronavirus has overwhelmed Donald Trump.


The Downfall of the Republican Party
PETER WEHNER
To be sure, the president isn’t responsible for either the coronavirus or the disease it causes, COVID-19, and he couldn’t have stopped it from hitting our shores even if he had done everything right. Nor is it the case that the president hasn’t done anything right; in fact, his decision to implement a travel ban on China was prudent. And any narrative that attempts to pin all of the blame on Trump for the coronavirus is simply unfair. The temptation among the president’s critics to use the pandemic to get back at Trump for every bad thing he’s done should be resisted, and schadenfreude is never a good look.

That said, the president and his administration are responsible for grave, costly errors, most especially the epic manufacturing failures in diagnostic testing, the decision to test too few people, the delay in expanding testing to labs outside the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and problems in the supply chain. These mistakes have left us blind and badly behind the curve, and, for a few crucial weeks, they created a false sense of security. What we now know is that the coronavirus silently spread for several weeks, without us being aware of it and while we were doing nothing to stop it. Containment and mitigation efforts could have significantly slowed its spread at an early, critical point, but we frittered away that opportunity.

“They’ve simply lost time they can’t make up. You can’t get back six weeks of blindness,” Jeremy Konyndyk, who helped oversee the international response to Ebola during the Obama administration and is a senior policy fellow at the Center for Global Development, told The Washington Post. “To the extent that there’s someone to blame here, the blame is on poor, chaotic management from the White House and failure to acknowledge the big picture.”

Ben Rhodes: How Trump designed his White House to fail

Earlier this week, Anthony Fauci, the widely respected director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases whose reputation for honesty and integrity has been only enhanced during this crisis, admitted in congressional testimony that the United States is still not providing adequate testing for the coronavirus. “It is failing. Let’s admit it.” He added, “The idea of anybody getting [testing] easily, the way people in other countries are doing it, we’re not set up for that. I think it should be, but we’re not."

We also know the World Health Organization had working tests that the United States refused, and researchers at a project in Seattle tried to conduct early tests for the coronavirus but were prevented from doing so by federal officials. (Doctors at the research project eventually decided to perform coronavirus tests without federal approval.)

But that’s not all. The president reportedly ignored early warnings of the severity of the virus and grew angry at a CDC official who in February warned that an outbreak was inevitable. The Trump administration dismantled the National Security Council’s global-health office, whose purpose was to address global pandemics; we’re now paying the price for that. “We worked very well with that office,” Fauci told Congress. “It would be nice if the office was still there.” We may face a shortage of ventilators and medical supplies, and hospitals may soon be overwhelmed, certainly if the number of coronavirus cases increases at a rate anything like that in countries such as Italy. (This would cause not only needless coronavirus-related deaths, but deaths from those suffering from other ailments who won’t have ready access to hospital care.)

Yascha Mounk: The extraordinary decisions facing Italian doctors

Some of these mistakes are less serious and more understandable than others. One has to take into account that in government, when people are forced to make important decisions based on incomplete information in a compressed period of time, things go wrong.

Yet in some respects, the avalanche of false information from the president has been most alarming of all. It’s been one rock slide after another, the likes of which we have never seen. Day after day after day he brazenly denied reality, in an effort to blunt the economic and political harm he faced. But Trump is in the process of discovering that he can’t spin or tweet his way out of a pandemic. There is no one who can do to the coronavirus what Attorney General William Barr did to the Mueller report: lie about it and get away with it.

The president’s misinformation and mendacity about the coronavirus are head-snapping. He claimed that it was contained in America when it was actually spreading. He claimed that we had “shut it down” when we had not. He claimed that testing was available when it wasn’t. He claimed that the coronavirus will one day disappear “like a miracle”; it won’t. He claimed that a vaccine would be available in months; Fauci says it will not be available for a year or more.

Trump falsely blamed the Obama administration for impeding coronavirus testing. He stated that the coronavirus first hit the United States later than it actually did. (He said that it was three weeks prior to the point at which he spoke; the actual figure was twice that.) The president claimed that the number of cases in Italy was getting “much better” when it was getting much worse. And in one of the more stunning statements an American president has ever made, Trump admitted that his preference was to keep a cruise ship off the California coast rather than allowing it to dock, because he wanted to keep the number of reported cases of the coronavirus artificially low.

“I like the numbers,” Trump said. “I would rather have the numbers stay where they are. But if they want to take them off, they’ll take them off. But if that happens, all of a sudden your 240 [cases] is obviously going to be a much higher number, and probably the 11 [deaths] will be a higher number too.” (Cooler heads prevailed, and over the president’s objections, the Grand Princess was allowed to dock at the Port of Oakland.)

On and on it goes.

To make matters worse, the president delivered an Oval Office address that was meant to reassure the nation and the markets but instead shook both. The president’s delivery was awkward and stilted; worse, at several points, the president, who decided to ad-lib the teleprompter speech, misstated his administration’s own policies, which the administration had to correct. Stock futures plunged even as the president was still delivering his speech. In his address, the president called for Americans to “unify together as one nation and one family,” despite having referred to Washington Governor Jay Inslee as a “snake” days before the speech and attacking Democrats the morning after it. As The Washington Post’s Dan Balz put it, “Almost everything that could have gone wrong with the speech did go wrong.”

Read: You’re likely to get the coronavirus

Taken together, this is a massive failure in leadership that stems from a massive defect in character. Trump is such a habitual liar that he is incapable of being honest, even when being honest would serve his interests. He is so impulsive, shortsighted, and undisciplined that he is unable to plan or even think beyond the moment. He is such a divisive and polarizing figure that he long ago lost the ability to unite the nation under any circumstances and for any cause. And he is so narcissistic and unreflective that he is completely incapable of learning from his mistakes. The president’s disordered personality makes him as ill-equipped to deal with a crisis as any president has ever been. With few exceptions, what Trump has said is not just useless; it is downright injurious.

The nation is recognizing this, treating him as a bystander “as school superintendents, sports commissioners, college presidents, governors and business owners across the country take it upon themselves to shut down much of American life without clear guidance from the president,” in the words of Peter Baker and Maggie Haberman of The New York Times.

Donald Trump is shrinking before our eyes.

The coronavirus is quite likely to be the Trump presidency’s inflection point, when everything changed, when the bluster and ignorance and shallowness of America’s 45th president became undeniable, an empirical reality, as indisputable as the laws of science or a mathematical equation.

It has taken a good deal longer than it should have, but Americans have now seen the con man behind the curtain. The president, enraged for having been unmasked, will become more desperate, more embittered, more unhinged. He knows nothing will be the same. His administration may stagger on, but it will be only a hollow shell. The Trump presidency is over.

War Against Occultism, Witchcraft and False Religion (4)

Jun 14, 2013 | Gabriel Agbo

HUMAN SACRIFICE:
Another occult practice that offends God is human sacrifice. And this comes in various forms. Some kill their victims and remove the vital organs to be used for rituals. Others bury Humans and animals alive. Yet others use various spiritual means to achieve the same purpose. These include summoning the victim's spirit to appear in a mirror, where he/she will be stabbed to death. Or taking the victims name, picture or property to demonic shrines. When any of these is done, the victims would die in their home without anybody tracing the cause of their sudden death. Whichever, God commands that we should not kill (commit murder). In Exodus 20:13, God said, "Thou shall not kill." (King James Version).

That is, do not murder another human being for whatever purpose. It violates God's commandment. Then God also warned the children of Israel not to use their children (or any other person) for sacrifices:

"Do not give any of your children as a sacrifice to Molech, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the LORD." - Leviticus 18:21

Molech (or Moloch) was a terrible idol through which they worshiped the sun. They burned their children in fire as sacrifice to this idol. It was not only Moloch. The children of Israel sacrificed their sons and daughters to Baal and other idols. This is also what the occult world does today. They offend God by sacrificing human beings to the demons and Satan. It is a detestable and an abomination to God. And God will not leave the perpetrators unpunished.

There was a well-publicized case of human sacrifices in 1996 at Owerri, the capital of Imo State, Nigeria. One Innocent Ekeanyanwu beheaded a little boy master Ikechukwu Okonkwo; who was lured into a 'hotel' as he was hawking groundnuts. Mr. Innocent was arrested by the police while in possession of the severed head and was promptly taken to the hotel -OTOKOTO HOTEL, where the crime was committed. On searching the hotel premises, the headless body of the little boy and many other human bodies were found. Some buried under the flowerbeds.

And only God knows how many innocent customers of the so-called hotel had been killed and used for rituals. This particular incident sparked off a very violent riot in city. Buildings and properties of suspected cabal worth billions were destroyed. I witnessed the riot. I saw some of the rioters carrying dried human body said to be removed from the refrigerator of one of the cult members - a wealthy businessman. So many other wealthy businessmen and politicians were also fingered as members of the cabal. Mr. Ekeanyanwu later died in police custody in a very questionable circumstance. And people suspected he was killed in detention so that he would not continue to reveal some of the big names behind the demonic activities.

It is no secret that so many political and business empires have been built by spilling innocent blood, demonic rituals and human sacrifices. Sure, the people involving in this have chosen to bow to Satan so they can acquire temporal worldly possessions, in exchange of the souls. Though we are using events Nigeria as case studies, these demonic acts happened in every part of the world. Even the worshipers of Satan in the developed world do same. But I must also admit that it is more frequent in the third world countries because of the high level of poverty and spiritual darkness. Look at the Tanzania case; where albinos have since become endangered species, because of their high demand for ritual sacrifices. Even their body parts are sold in 'markets' also patronized by the security agents, who are supposed to check the menace. Terrible!

But, it is also true that today some of the most powerful ministries and ministers of the gospel are currently coming of these dark areas. Though a lot still needs to be done to counter these demonic activities in such places. And no other body will do that than the church (believers). It is the responsibility of the church. The bible said that Jesus (the church) was manifested that He might destroy the works of the devil. We have the tool to check this - the gospel.

These evil practices are not left for known occult groups. The false places of worship (pseudo churches) are also in the game. Human and blood sacrifices also go on in these places. That a place has taken up a Christian name does not make it godly or genuine. What will you say about this incident that happened in one of the South-South states of Nigeria?

A man left his home to have a walk in the evening and that was the last time his family saw him alive. After searching for him some days, the family decided to involve the security man. Then they saw a fresh pile of sand near a 'church' and called the 'pastor' to show them where the fresh sand came from since there was no renovation work going on in the 'church' premises.

After a thorough search, they found a newly cemented portion at the altar. And you can't believe what happened! When the cemented place was broken, the corpse of the missing man was found, buried there in a vertical position. Incredible! I hear you shout. But that is just a sample of the wickedness that goes on everyday in our society because of the lust for power, money and fame. Our land is filled with the cries of innocent lives that have been slaughtered in sacrifices to the gods of this world. God told Cain, "I am hearing the cry of the blood of your brother, Abel; whom you have murdered." Seek Jesus now. Till next week, God bless!

The false promises, failures that have left Nairobi filthy

Garbage strewn at Muthurwa Market in Nairobi on Monday, March 9, 2020. PHOTO | DENNIS ONSONGO | NATION MEDIA GROUP

As Nairobi City suffocates under mounds of garbage, the county government is on the spot for its lax approach to dealing with the problem. But the blame is shared by many others.

City Hall officials, elected county leaders, business

owners and residents are all to blame.

Business owners have come under fire for using street children to illegally dump their solid waste, contributing to the rot in the city.

Unwilling to employ the services of private garbage collectors in order to cut costs, the wily businesspeople use street families to dispose of the waste.

Many alleys and streets in the central business district (CBD) and Nairobi River have borne the brunt of this action by rogue traders.

“The city centre is always dirty as business owners in the hotel industry pay street kids to pick up garbage from the backdoors of the hotels at night and dump it along the alleys,” said a trader.

Nairobi residents are not clean, either. They have turned corridors and paths in the estates and informal settlements into dumping sites.

In the CBD, they throw all forms of solid waste on the roads as they walk, and from matatus and private cars.

Then there are elected leaders in the county who have joined “cartels” in the garbage collection and disposal business.

The leaders are said to be at the heart of the garbage business in the capital city, with a number of them controlling illegal dumping sites across the county and frustrating any efforts at cleaning up the city.

Governor Mike Sonko has in the past complained about the cartels, saying his administration’s clean-up campaign was being sabotaged by cartels.

“Anyone found soliciting the services of these vicious cartels risks having their business licences revoked,” he said then.

However, the biggest blame must be shouldered by City Hall, which has failed to rein in the garbage cartels.

It has also failed to actualise any of the garbage-related projects it had promised despite millions being allocated to the Environment department to deal with the problem.

Just two months after coming into office, Governor Sonko unveiled 40 garbage trucks to help accelerate the clean-up of the county. The trucks were to be managed by Sonko Rescue Team and county staff.

They were to be used to collect domestic and other solid waste, which had been ongoing since the launch of “Operation Ng’arisha Jiji” in August 2017.

In January 2018, the county government was to place garbage containers in wards, estates and in the CBD to ease garbage collection.

This was after private garbage collectors downed their tools demanding over Sh150 million in arrears.

Youth groups

The first phase was to see the distribution of 40 such containers, with youth groups taking charge at the ward and estate levels.

Sub-county administrators were to handle collection in their zones, with each of the 17 administrators controlling two trucks.

“The first phase of this initiative will see 40 garbage containers distributed in various wards and estates with high concentration of garbage. The containers will be placed at strategic areas, with the collectors carrying out the duty on a daily basis during morning hours,” said Governor Sonko at the time.

The county boss added that henceforth, waste management would be handled at estate and ward levels, with county staff in charge of collecting the garbage from the containers and taking it to the county dump sites.

Nothing ever came out of the elaborate plan. Instead, mounds of garbage continued to pile across the county.

A month later, the governor said his administration was in the process of acquiring 25 modern garbage wagons.

He said the wagons, which were being assembled locally with the help of foreign experts, would be deployed in all the 17 constituencies in the county. Just like the projects before it, this was also never actualised.

But the governor was adamant that his administration was making progress.

As a short-term measure, he later said, the county was going to construct temporary garbage collection points across the wards, place garbage containers at strategic collection points within the CBD and place dust bins in all major estates.

These temporary dumping points were to be cleared on a daily basis.

“The ward collection points will be built using iron sheets … This will ensure Nairobians have easy access to dumping points,” the governor said.

Once again, nothing happened.

Sensing he had run out of excuses, Mr Sonko accused county staff of colluding with cartels to undermine his strategy to clean up the city.

As the county and elected leaders continue to make empty promises, Nairobi residents are left to suffer the eyesore of ever growing filth despite paying taxes to City Hall.

“No customer in their right mind would buy any arrowroots from my stall. Look at this effluent. My chest is hurting because I breathe in this foul air every day,” Ms Amondi, a vendor at Muthurwa market, said.

“If the government and the county cannot clean up this mess, then they should stop taking levies from us. Let us clean up on our own. We can do better on our own,” Stanley Saka, a businessman at Muthurwa, said.

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has announced that it has arrested about 697 illegal immigrants and seized contraband goods worth N7.4 billion seven months into the partial closure of the nation’s borders.

The Comptroller General, NCS, Hameed Ali (rtd), said this in a statement signed by the Public Relations Officer, NCS, Mr. Joseph Attah.
Ali said the border closure had saved the country huge resources and enhanced national security.
“The importation of drugs and proliferation of small arms and light weapons, which usually fuelled terrorism and other forms of criminality in the country have been considerably curtailed,” the Customs boss also said.
He pointed out that the agricultural sector had also received a boost due to the restriction placed on the importation of rice and other prohibited food items.

He said: “The Office of the National Security Adviser which is coordinating the exercise has continued to record large number of seizures and arrests from the four sectors of the North-West, North-Central, South-West, and South-South geopolitical zones. As of March 6, 2020, 697 illegal migrants had been arrested.

“Seizures included 86,602-50kg bags of parboiled foreign rice; 695 bags of NPK fertiliser; 1,172 vehicles; 2,997 drums filled with Premium Motor Spirit; 16,771 empty 200 litre drums of PMS; 90 engine boats..”
He added: “Others are 68 drums of groundnut oil; 26 trucks (33,000 litres) of PMS; 14,604 jerricans of PMS; 656 motorcycles; 15,089 jerricans of PMS, vegetable oil.

“The estimated monetary value of the seizures is N7,350,818,657.70.”
Ali reiterated the commitment of Nigeria to ongoing diplomatic engagements to finding lasting solutions to the concerns that necessitated the partial border closure.

You Can’t Find Me – Boko Haram Leader, Shekau Tells US Government After A $7m Bounty Was Placed On Him

https://www.360nobs.com/2020/03/you-cant-find-me-boko-haram-leader-shekau-tells-us-government-after-a-7m-bounty-was-placed-on-him/

Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau has reacted to the $7m reward the US Department of State recently announced for anyone with credible information that will lead to his arrest. The Department of State made the announcement on March 4th.

Media personality @Bassim_AMG who covers reports on Terrorism, shared a video of the sect leader reacting to the $7 million bounty placed on him.

According to the media personality, Shekau in a 26 minutes video, reiterated his views on ”US, Israel and Nigeria being infidel states with US being the headquarters of corruption.” The sect leader also reportedly said the US is fighting Islam in every possible way and questioned the US for putting up only N2.5bn or $7m as reward for his arrest.

Shekau is also quoted as claiming that the US cannot find him. He however stated that he is also not scared for them to find him as long as he is not an “infidel”. He celebrated the bounty by sporadically shooting a few rifles and a machine gun.

Watch the video he posted and the Tweets from the media personality below

I think Mr. Sanusi should channel his superior intellect and energies towards business and development for the nation. He has a great mind that shouldn't go to waste on trivial religious and constant warfare political stuff. Chairman Dangote should call and counsel him on how to navigate the perilous waters.

PS: The headline is misleading. They did not demand for outright reinstatement: they demanded for a review of the suspension to ensure due process was followed as outlined in their constitution.

excellent reading comprehension .... you go pass 1st class .... the authors of the article (By Malikatu Umar Shuaibu and Idowu Isamotu) published one headline that doesn't match the body of their story. and the regular mumu crowd is quick to run with the clever mischief.

Things could get rough around the globe, and very soon. Pls maintain your connection with relatives in the village or rural/farm area. Subsistence farming and herding may no longer be a joke or something to look down upon.

Alleged Fraud: Ex-Banker Testifies In Fayose’s Trial

Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose (file).

Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos has adjourned the fraud trial of former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose.

The former governor is standing trial alongside his company, Spotless Investment Limited, on an 11-count bordering on fraud and money laundering to the tune of N2.2 billion.

At Friday’s sitting, a prosecution witness and a former employee of Skye Bank Plc (now Polaris Bank Plc), Olugboyega Falaye, gave his testimony before the trial judge.

He told the court how the bank had sold a property on 44, Plot 1214, Osun Crescent, Maitama, Abuja for N200 million sometime in 2016.

Falaye, who worked in the Real Estate Department of the bank, told the court that the property in question was put up for sale among other properties by the bank, after the approval granted by the Board, as well as the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

He said the list of the properties to be sold was given to a property agent.

The witness stated, “Thereafter, Skye Bank got a contact with a letter from Philtech Properties Limited in respect of the property in question. Philtech Properties Limited was represented by one Mrs. Titilayo and she made an offer for the property for the sum of N200 million.

“Skye Bank countered for N300 million, but we later agreed to sell the property for N200 million. We came up with all necessary documents for the transaction and the property was sold out.”

Falaye also told the court that the documents for the transaction with some attachments were submitted to the EFCC.

He said, “The attachments are ‘letter of offer’ from Skye Bank to Signature Integrated Limited (the principal to Philtech Properties Limited); letter from Philtech in response to Skye Bank’s letter making a counter-offer of N200 million to Skye bank; an email to confirm the office address of Philtech and the list of assets that was approved for sale by Skye Bank.”

Under cross-examination by counsel to the defendants and Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs), Ola Olanipekun and Olalekan Ojo, Falaye admitted that Skye Bank issued receipts of payment to Signature Integrated Limited.

He, however, told the court that he was not aware of any transaction between Still Earth and Signature Integrated.

The witness, during further cross-examination, told the court that the valuation of the property was carried out before the sale.

“There was nothing unusual about the transaction because the transaction went through the normal process,” he said.

Falaye, however, told the court that he did not know the individual who bought the property.

After listening to the testimony of the witness, Justice Aneke adjourned the case until May 18, 19 and 20, 2020 for the continuation of trial.
