Black families need fathers ‐ not reparations for slavery

#1  The dependency society did hurt blacks first but now the rest of the population is catching up with them.
Posted by: Glenmore || 01/08/2023 9:17 Comments || Top||

#2  Yes. What man would not love to be father to kids who won't listen and a wife that holds still for anything that wants to play?
Posted by: M. Murcek || 01/08/2023 9:38 Comments || Top||

#3  Fathers = good. Lump sum cash without a moral upbringing = asking for reparations again after 6 months when your last reparations are gone.
Posted by: Super Hose || 01/08/2023 12:30 Comments || Top||

#4  Everything is racist.

Caribbean-Latin America
Mexican capo's arrest a gesture to US, not signal of change
[AlAhram] Mexico's capture of a son of former Sinaloa cartel boss Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman this week was an isolated nod to a drug war strategy that Mexico's current administration has abandoned rather than a sign that President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's thinking has changed, experts say.

Ovidio Guzman's arrest in the Sinaloa cartel stronghold of Culiacan on Thursday came at the cost of at least 30 lives - 11 from the military and law enforcement and 19 suspected cartel button men. But analysts predict it won't have any impact on the flow of drugs to the United States.

It was a display of muscle - helicopter gunships, hundreds of troops and armored vehicles - at the initiation of a possible extradition process rather than a significant step in a homegrown Mexican effort to dismantle one of the country's most powerful criminal organizations. Perhaps coincidentally, it came just days before U.S President Joe The Big Guy Biden

Pfizer's history of fraud, corruption and using people as guinea pigs
[The Exposé] Pfizer has habitually engaged in illegal and corrupt marketing practices, bribed physicians and suppressed adverse trial results. This is no secret, yet this fact continues to be brushed under the rug by politicians and corporate media.

And despite Pfizer having a long history of prioritising profits over human lives, Big Tech, Big Government and Big Media will not allow criticism of Pfizer’s covid "vaccines."

In a Twitter thread, Kanekoa the Great listed some instances showing the criminality of Pfizer beginning with a lawsuit in 1994 regarding a heart valve that killed hundreds of people and ending with the covid injections which have injured and killed untold numbers of people.

"This is only a partial list of the fraud, corruption, and criminality of Pfizer. There are other examples of Pfizer unethically testing pharmaceutical products in the world’s poorest nations and participating in other criminal actions," Kanekoa wrote.

We have saved a copy of Kanekoa’s Twitter thread and attached it below for those who don’t use Twitter.

#1  They are near the top of the Everest-like pile of of scumbag companies and NGOs. PP, the UN are at the pinnacle, but Pfizer is certainly within whispering distance.

Isis and the ticking time bomb facing the West
[Shafaq News] You thought Isis was old news. The world celebrated its territorial defeat nearly four years ago. The group that once controlled an area the size of the UK had been battered by more than 30,000 Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s, and tens of thousands of its turbans had been killed. It was over. Really, though, the war against Isis never stopped. The US military has just announced that last year some 700 Isis turbans were killed and 400 captured in operations in Iraq and Syria. The group was responsible for more than 500 attacks on Iraqi and Syrian soil. Isis is not going away.

When Isis was ’defeated’ at Baghouz in eastern Syria in March 2019, the group was left weaker than it had been in a decade. The US and allies had put together an effective intervention, working ’by, with and through’ the military in Iraq and anti-Isis militias in Syria. Hoping to avoid a commitment like that in Iraq in 2003 or Afghanistan in 2001, we put the onus on locals to fight with our support, rather than the other way around

#1  30,000 ISIS in prison sounds like a very significant problem; I wonder why it hasn’t been solved.

#2  As opposed to jerk bureaucrat terrorists who want to drop world population to 800M by funding gain of function research in CCP labs, I’ll take my chances with ISIS. Besides there will be fewer of them by a factor of 10 after Bill Gates inoculates them to death.
