VDH - About The So-Called Trump-Ramaphosa 'Ambush'
[ZERO] Nothing highlights the poverty of the media-Democratic mind than its weary use of echo-chamber buzzwords.

Once Pravda-like instructions are sent out from DNC operatives, mindless media anchors mouth them in lockstep as gospel.

So, it was with the supposed "ambush" when South African President Cyril Ramaphosa met Donald Trump. Trump indeed pressed his guest on a number of issues, from the decades-long targeted killing of white agriculturalists on their farms by black hit teams that have totaled somewhere between 1,500 and 3,500, depending on how one defines such targeted killings.

Trump further wanted an explanation from Ramaphosa on his government’s new legislation aimed at land confiscation without compensation, and the de facto vanishing number of Boer farmers.

Trump was further bewildered by Ramaphosa’s assertion that the new law would not be used to take private property without paying for it ("No, no, no, no. Nobody can take land"), when in fact that was the very purpose of the new legislation in the first place.

Trump also showed Ramaphosa videos highlighting a resurgence of South African extremism of the tired "Kill the Boer" sort.

The dictionaries define "ambush" roughly as "a surprise attack by people lying in wait in a hidden or concealed position."

Ramaphosa’s visit was no surprise. He, not Trump, requested it. Ramaphosa spoke openly to the media before the meeting that he was planning to convince Trump that there were neither widespread killings of white farmers nor arbitrary confiscation of land.

#1  Once Pravda-like instructions are sent out from DNC operatives, mindless media anchors mouth them in lockstep as gospel.

And it's not the flunkies who surrounded Biden in the White House who do that. A politburo (Political Bureau) is most definitely running the Democrat Party. We don't know who the bureau's members are, how they get to that vaunted position or who the chairman is. But an unseen hand is most certainly in control of the Democrat Party and the mainstream media. How else could all those birds be singing in perfect harmony every night?

Former surgeon general recommends delaying children using social media for ‘as long as possible'
[The Hill] Former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy again called on parents in an interview Sunday on NBC’s "Meet the Press" to regulate their children’s use of social media to protect their mental health — particularly at younger ages.

"Delaying the use of social media for your kid as long as possible is important," Murthy told host Kristen Welker. "The bottom line is these devices, these platforms, in particular, social media platforms, are having an effect on our children."

He cited 16 years old as a "benchmark" but said that could vary from child to child.

"The adolescent brain is not the same as an adult brain. ... They are more susceptible to social comparison, to social suggestion, their impulse control is not as well developed, and that puts them more at risk of the negative effects of social media," Murthy said.

Murthy has long warned of the dangers social media can pose to minors. He said in a CNN interview last year he planned to wait until his own kids reach at least high school to allow them to use online social platforms.
