In a diplomatic turnaround earlier this week, Trump handed Nigeria a $1.6 billion aid package in exchange for the protection of Christians...."

So it's "terrorists" we're fighting again, is it? At least Trump identified the victims. Now, all we are left to do is wonder, "Who is terrorizing Christians?" Thinking... thinking...
There he goes again cooperating with foreign countries to go after actual bad guys who were beheading Christians and burning churches with impunity for years. And he calls out radical Islamic terrorism by name.
A good leader prioritizes clarity over agreement. When he can achieve both simultaneously he is a great leader.
The Nigerian president said “no particular religion” but Trump’s Truth Social post explicitly says “Isis” and names the crime as “slaughtering Christians.”
Clarity.
How much of the Islamoterrorism in Nigeria is really ethnic/tribal conflict? Really asking - I have not studied this in depth. So often, 'religious' wars have some other motivation, but one or both sides fly a religious flag of convenience. CC, JSM
I notice, it isn't nation building. It is reinforcing the existing government and its ability to fight off radical elements within its border.
"During one of Doe's encounters with Estein, he took her to Mar-a-Lago where he introduced her to its owner, Donald J. Trump. Introducing 14-year-old Doe to Donald J. Trump. Epein elbowed Trump playfully asking him, referring to Doe, "This is a good one, right?" Trump smiled and nodded in agreement. They both chuckled and Doe felt uncomfortable, but, at the time, was too young to understand why."
This is the reason for all the strikes (more to come, until this news is out of headlines)
Kak masturbating early this morning, and OT again, of course. He dreams of Ron and Chuck and Rich in his one-track mind.
Now, on-topic: Is there anything this Peace President can't do? (That's all I wanted to say until I encountered the summa cum sock laude post of our resident perv)
I'm worried that Senator Mark Kelly hasn't been consulted about this. Is there some appropriate amount of time that such an action should last so as to not cause accidents among the soldiers involved? Are the soldiers being provided with enough sunscreen? This lack of consultation is concerning.
There has been a surge in the price of silver. Trump promised to lower prices, not increase them. Why hasn't he lowered the price of silver? Why has Trump raised the price of silver instead?
Just another broken Trump promise I guess.

Trump orders airstrikes to aid Nigerian Christians despite Stephen Miller's frantic cries that Nigerian Christians are Black.
Ask him how many Nigerian Christians should be allowed to live in the US and see what he really thinks of them 🤷🏽
Black lives matter from DC to Nigeria.
I don't know much about Nigeria, but my experiences with actual Nigerians while I lived in London were uniformly good. They were as different from Jamaicans as it was possible to be.
Christians need to stand up for Christians against Islamist terrorists. Skin color is irrelevant. These operations to repel Islamic terrorists need to happen anywhere and everywhere, including in the US in the form of deportations, the sooner the better.
Lotta oil in Nigeria, and ISIS? Well, that's the terrorist group that only makes attacks convenient to the goals of the CIA. If I didn't know better, I would almost think of it as a protection racket. Without ISIS, would these countries need US protection and troops based in their countries?
Venezuela, now Nigeria. Wonder what they have in common….
Angola next?
Given the history and intent of Islam in general, the large groups of Muslim men praying in the streets of various areas in the US must not be ignored as simply innocent religious prayer rituals.
kak - We could help other nations without wanting those people to live here.
"has nothing to do with a particular religion?"
Why not? Only one is causing such widespread problems, following a pattern of 1400 years.
Put it off as long as you dare, Western leaders, but Islam is relentless.
Let's look at ISIS in Russia. First we back a white supremacist candidate, Navalny, in Russian elections. He attended the same "leadership program" at Yale that the Nobel Peace e Prize winning lady that we want to install in Venezuela, Rallies for the guy we gave 20 million dollars to to run for president of Russia are commonly used by Ukrainians to argue that naziism is a problem in Russia, and then our pet terrorist outfit ISIS does attacks in Moscow, which have the effect of ginning up ethnic hatred. The goal is to split the Russia Federation on ethnic lines, and break up Russia so that it is left defenseless, and so then, BTW, would be China.
Now if you are buwaya, you would say "That's all great!" and at least I can respect his openness and honesty, but if you are doing your thinking based on the puppet show itself, hissing and booing the "villains" and cheering the heroes, without looking at the intentions of the puppet masters directing the show, I wonder what you actually get out of looking at public affairs.
He’s the president they voted for. The president who pledged to bring peace.
When Stephen Green accused China of fighting "disintegrative war" a light clicked on, since they always accuse the other side of what they are doing. It's a high priority rule of propaganda.
"He’s the president they voted for. The president who pledged to bring peace."
So you voted for Biden in the hopes that he would bring us to the brink of WWIII by starting a war in Europe that he could easily have prevented with a phone call?
You guys are so cynical, it's almost beyond belief/
Because the clinton foundation helped loot nigeria although the looting had begun as early as the 70s boko haram rose their local taliban
If not Islamic progress, perhaps Hutu vs Tutsi, Mandela's Xhosa vs Zulu with British imperial interests divesting from native South Africans, Kenyan elite vs deplorables, leftists vs Libyans, etc. An ethnic Spring.
Emigration reform to mitigate progress at both ends of the bridge and collateral damage throughout. Hopefully, this wil not follow Obama'a investment in the second Iraq war, regional ISIS conflict, and Hamasidols in Gaza, or Biden's investment in Taliban in Afghanistan, etc.
Ah, yes, the Slavic Spring with green returns and untold benefits for who claims the Russian federation, people notwithstanding.
Taking out the bad evil guys is peaceful. The moral compass of the left is Dali-esque.
Protect the women... they deserve a better choice than a wicked solution, to become a feminine gender object with "benefits". Bring back the girls. Affirmative abortive ideation is an unsustainable progression exercised with liberal license.
He’s the president they voted for. The president who pledged to bring peace.
I don’t know about they, but I’m for this. You don’t get peace by letting bad people get away with doing bad things. See Bethany MaGee.
On the bright side, I suspect the overseas phone calls from Nigeria asking me to empty my bank account to claim a lottery prize should slow down.
I would suppose oil is a factor, but sectarian violence, especially Muslim on Christian, has been an ongoing story in Nigeria for a long time. You wouldn't want Boko Haram in your breakfast nook, to be sure.

Islam continues it's 1500 year history of trying to drive Christianity to extinction. Christians have stopped them before. Will they finally succeed, this time?
Certainly boko is aspiring to the slave empires that ruled the region like the songhai
Trump should have just started a social media campaign similar to "Bring Them Home" or something. It's better to virtue signal than to actually take action.
“Islam continues its 1500 year history of trying to drive Christianity to extinction.”
Islam employs these tactics against EVERY OTHER RELIGION, not just Christianity. It is a festering, pus-filled sore on the world.
I was right over the target
The Sokoto Caliphate | The Oxford World History of Empire: Volume Two: The History of Empires | Oxford Academic https://share.google/M8GfHVCncdPMdnHgT
From AI:
“Boko Haram is a militant group based in Nigeria, and its name is often translated as "Western education is forbidden." The group opposes Western influence and seeks to establish an Islamic state governed by strict Sharia law.“
They don’t hide what they’re after. What’s that phrase? Oh yeah, Believe Them.
There’s only 1.6 or 1.7 billion of them. Is peace on earth worth 1.6 billion bullets? They’re doing their best to make that seem attractive.
This operation is victimizing the knee jerk oppositionists. .
"'has nothing to do with a particular religion.'" But it does. I can understand that a Nigerian minister at this moment makes such a statement. But any solution to Muslim evil must start with denying the denial.

“Who are the real colonizers” (Muslims)
Without Arab imperialism:
- Egyptians would be Coptic
- Moroccans would be Berber
- Libya and Algeria would be Amazigh
- Syria and Lebanon would be Aramaic speaking and partly Phoenician
- Iraq would be Mesopotamian
- Assyrian, Babylonian
- Sudan would be Nubian
- Tunisia would be Carthaginian Punic or Amazigh
- Iran would be Persian, Zoroastrian
- Kurdistan would be Median, Zoroastrian
- Somalia would be Kosherik
“The Arab conquests erased civilizations and destroyed many cultures. Without Arab imperialism, the Middle East would still remember its own name.
They are the colonizers.”
I'm 100% fine with bombing the Muslim kidnappers... bomb them back into the stone age!
We're supposed to pretend because islam is the official religion which largely drove the kingdoms mentioned above
@WallStreetApes
"Say it louder

Istanbul would be Constantinople.
This only works if we are serious about this.
If Trump is willing to kill millions of people I am all for reforming Islam. There are countries in the Middle East that would be happy to anchor an Islamic Reformation.
But we are all going to quickly find that Islamic Radicalism is funded and supported by the internationalist left. The most radical muslims in the world are in non-muslim societies.
It is time to deal with the Root Cause of the problem.
The root cause of this problem meets in Davos every year.
It makes sense to me. It's not all Muslims, it's some particularly radical and violent Muslims. Thus it's not simply one religion versus another. I'm sure they don't limit their terrorizing to just Christians
I would ask Kak and Inga, point blank, if they oppose Trump and America defending Christians. Because it sure seems like it.
Back when Obama was in charge, Nigerian Muslims surrounded a Christian church on a Sunday, during services, set the church on fire, and then gunned down everyone who was fleeing the flames.
Democrats did nothing, including refusing to condemn the attack. They DID, however, scream "Christian nationalism!" and wring their hands over the Mosque thing in New Zealand.
Democrats like Inga and Kak apparently fully support Islam killing Jews, killing Christians, killing Hindus, killing Europeans... in fact, has anyone ever seen Democrats oppose any Islamic attack? I won't even call it Islamic terrorism because that implies there is a set of Islamic terrorists and a set of non-terrorists.
But Democrats always are screaming about "Christian Nationalism" and blaming Christians here in America, blaming Jews for Israel, and demanding we all never, ever criticize Islam or Islamic people for anything. "What about the Muslim backlash!" they always, but always, say as the first response to the latest Muslim attack on people.
So I ask Inga and Kak and Howard and Ronald and the rest of you leftists here: Do you actually support anyone defending against Islam? Or are you just on the side of the Caliphates and support them crushing and killing Christians, Jews, and the rest of us? Because you, Inga, and you, Kak, by screaming "This is a distraction from Epstein" or whatever are actually saying you think Trump should not be defending Christians from Islamic genocide. That's what you are saying... that you want more dead Christians with no one to stop them.
The John Birch Society has long identified the Root Cause of the problem as those who meet in Davos. Their chief representative in the USA is the Council on Foreign Relations. In the UK it's the Royal Institute for International Relations (aka Chatham House).
Leftists used to cry and moan at 'war for oil'
Now they whine when someone helps those who need it.
’Democrats did nothing, including refusing to condemn the attack.’
Don’t expect the Dems to condemn their allies. Not happening…
Pratt house bilderberg hotel davos theyll move on
Vance - leftists hate every little thing Trump does.
Laugh at them. they actually supported Kamala. LOL.
And they support Walz and his criminality.
Peachy, it's not just "Trump hate" that makes leftists like Kak, Inga and the rest side with Islam. I'm just asking when they are going to take off their masks of pretending to be Christians and just full on embrace Islamic rule. Or at least endorse the platform of Islam with respect to "Kill all Christians and Jews!".
Taking on the evil Red-Green alliance is the most important and difficult task facing Trump other than secure elections.
Leftists are the same people who refuse to stand up for a black kid with cancer. racists that they are...
Mike MJB,
You write "other than secure elections", but really that's just another facet of the globalist problem.
True

It isn't just left and right. This goes way deeper.
If you are trying to trash Muslims and rulers in Qatar you are on the other side. The Muslims in Qatar and the Rulers in Qatar and on the side of peace.
They are vastly different than the Muslims in Nigeria or the Muslims in Iran or Gaza.
In Syria there was a Christian community. Several countries mostly including Turkey and Israel took Syria down and those Christian communities were wiped out.
The same thing happens in Egypt. Obama tried to put the Muslim Brotherhood in charge there.
Muslims need a certain type of leader. If they have that kind of leader they will do OK as a country. If they don't have that type of leader you get Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Davos crowd wants Muslims to be their destabilizing foot soldiers and terrorists. With enough terror they can implement their dystopian control mechanisms.
Now for the third rail. Why did Israel put Hamas in charge of Gaza?
Israel needs an Israel First political party. They are currently being run by their version of DC Neocons.
Don’t hold your breath waiting for Democrats to oppose or even criticize their favorite religion
As others have noted, the problem is less with Muzzies who have been where they are for 1000+ years than with those who want to live in the blessed West.
The mosque in NE Memphis that I drive by from time to time is expanding from the enlarged little rezoned house to a purpose-built structure.
Very depressing, but not as bad as some dumbass Christian churches around here that allow Muzzies to use parts of their buildings for worship.
Secular or religious, perhaps Diversity motives.

Qatar hosted the Hamas leadership at our behest. We occupy Qatar. None of this happens unless we want it to happen.
I am all for killing every member of Hamas and making them an example for future generations.
Israel's attack on the families of the leaders of Hamas we were talking to under the flag of truce was an absolute stain on our honor as a country.
There must be redress for this.

@Mike, point of Information. It’s more of a Red-Watermelon alliance — watermelons are only green on the outside. More to the point, defeating this alliance is a task that the Republicans need to take on and be seen taking on on behalf of the people of the United States and their children. This in turn is a part of the real challenge that Trump and the GOP must jointly take on, which is turning Trump voters into reliably Republican voters.
It finally brought them to the table what was has happened since it doesnt seem the great coalition is keen on disarming hamas
So how many of the head-banging savages did we send to meet their virgins?
Hes gonna do it, most of the West thinks Hamas is righteous
"I'm just asking when they are going to take off their masks of pretending to be Christians and just full on embrace Islamic rule."
It seems to be more complicated than that. I don't think Igna wants to live under Sharia, and I don't think she expects to. She somehow imagines that the Muzzies and Lefties will work together to kill all of us righties, or lock us up in camps, and then they will institute some sort of utopian wonderfulness that will be everything she has ever longed for. She's delusional.
My enemy's enemy may be my ally, but that doesn't really mean he's my friend.
Terror financiers are living freely in Qatar, US discloses https://share.google/kHAhyXeYRZdYnwRUw
Muzzie countries only seem to be able to give women freedom when they suppress men’s freedom. Secular “republics” like old Iraq and Egypt. Empires like the Ottomans and Persians. Commie outfits like Afghanistan under the Soviets, or the Iranian commie opposition MEK. MBS seems to be headed that way in the KSA.
Of course some Muzzie flavors just want to suppress everyone. The Islamic Republics of various places. Suppressing the women and encouraging outrage at the slightest discrepancy helps keep the men distracted.
In contrast, Judaeo-Christian societies seem to free their women as they free their men. Europe, US, Israel.
So if you want Islam and women’s lib, you should bring back the Ottoman Empire. CC, JSM
Smells like another expensive foreign entanglement to me...
Anybody want to venture the final price tag to the US for allegedly protecting Nigerian Christians?
Anybody understand Christ's message to his follower who loved off the soldier's ear to defend him? Live by the sword, die by the sword...
See all the recent examples. Purple fingers for the ladies, anyone?
When the only tool in your toolbox is military weapons, you will choose to send drones on Christmas Day. God help us all.

"No. New. Wars"

America First anyone? Less violence in the world paid for by the US "defense" industry? This too is not our fight...
How's peace in Ukraine working out with all the weapons your tax dollars are sending? How many conflicts can we afford to finance, retired Boomers? Hm.
Drones are costly toys to be tested out. China makes the best ones, and Russia has them too. Will our oceans protect us? I'm sticking with Christ's teachings myself.
Emigration reform.
What you saw in sydney is the same as what boko or hamas does
Interesting detail i discovered from wikileaks saudi princes cultuvate young nigerians as body guards
I love the outrage from leftists. "On Christmas day? How can this be Christian? REEEEE!"
Do they not recall Washington crossing the Delaware? America has a long and revered history of killing the enemy on Christmas. Trump is doing what Washington did.... but leftists are horrified.
Which is yet more proof that today's Democrats would gladly, gladly be on the side of King George and would sell out our country if we were still fighting the Revolution.
In a savvy reinterpretation of the Monroe Doctrine, Trump redefines Africa as the Western Hemisphere.
We must save the Christians in Africa!.... as long as the Christians in Africa stay there... because, well, *you knowwww*
The John Birch Society has long identified the Root Cause of the problem as those who meet in Davos. Their chief representative in the USA is the Council on Foreign Relations. In the UK it's the Royal Institute for International Relations (aka Chatham House).
I had an old boss who used to rant about these outfits, and the Trilateral Commission and Bilderbergers and that club of very rich men up in Northern California who worship an idol of an owl while prancing naked by a campfire, the name of which I cannot recall for the life of me.
I no longer think him to be crazy.

Maybe you should consult with your cat on the state of the country instead of having it chase a laser pointer. Cats would murder you in your bed if you forgot to feed it, ya know…
What’s next, Trump sends the military to South Africa to protect the white Afrikaners?
Lol Vance
This strike is akin to Washington crossing the Delaware and creating an independent country, huh? George didn't have a rich Old World country call in strikes on his enemies. Crack a history book and consider that no man can win another man's civil war for them?
Granted your spin sounds noble... and expensive. Bet the expensive gift of... freedom is it? for the Christians we're allegedly protecting won't end there. Violence begets violence begets violence begets violence....
While I admire your naive faith in American weapons, Trump's acts likely signed the death warrants for many more Christian innocents when whoever it is we killed (read the NYT morning-after story? we allegedly hit the wrong region to pretend that we're helping save lives) retaliate and then we'll sure look like pussies if we don't answer that, right? So it begins....
(Have you tried video games to keep your juices flowing? Much less costly for the rest of us, and many fewer lives lost. Hth)
Inga would be very, very upset indeed if Trump decided that white people deserve to be protected instead of targeted.
Because like every single Democrat, she is a racist. Just like Democrats have always been racist. By that I mean she, like other Democrats, thinks that someone's skin color is important enough to punish/reward people because of their skin color. True, Democrats have changed the skin color they wish to punish/reward since the 1850s, but it's still the same concept.
If Trump were to send the military to South Africa to protect the Zulu, Inga and the left would not criticize. But to protect white people? Oh, how much she hates that!
And I note that she did not deny she wants to join hands with Islamics to kill all the righties and/or lock them up in camps... she openly stated that the left can just "feed the Muslims" to avoid becoming their prey after all the Christians are gone.
I'm not a "leftist either.
Just old enough to have sat through this movie many times.
Observation and intelligence is a curse really...
Oh, and I note that "not an oldster" is very, very much fine and happy with unlimited genocide of Christians. "Violence begets violence" eh? And just when has "abject surrender and never, ever defend yourself" ever worked against Islam?
“…it's not just "Trump hate" that makes leftists like Kak, Inga and the rest side with Islam…”
Why do you think anyone here siding with Islam? Have I ever said Islam was a great religion? Have I ever praised Muslim men for the way they treat women? Have I ever expressed happiness at any Islamic attack on anyone? What makes you fools so assured you are right about what people on the left think? I doubt most of you know or have friends you talk to honestly who are on the left. I don’t know in what reality you live in.
(He's saving the South Africa strikes for New YEar's Day, to ring in the new year, eh Vance...? What will Valentine's Day bring? V is for Venezuela? Take care, violence and bloodlust is addictive, they say...)
Defend yourself is a winning hand.
Let the US pump in weapons and fight other people's battles for them is always a loser...
Live and learn?
Have you ever criticized Islam, Inga? You and your fellow leftists have zero problems ranting about "White Christian nationalists." Have you EVER criticized Islam like you do Christians?
You side with Islam because you rant and rave and defend horrible Islamic people. Somalis here. How dare Trump try to shut down immigration from such wonderful places like Yemen! You are far more concerned about preventing backlash against Muslims than you are concerned about preventing Islamic attacks on the rest of us.
When a Mosque gets attacked, oh how the left weeps and wails and gnashes their teeth! When a Christian church or Jewish synagoge is invaded and people gunned down by Islam, you leftists weep and wail about potential backlash against 'innocent Muslims." The dead Innocent Jews and Christians are never, ever spared a thought by you, Inga.
You and your party demand unlimited Islamic immigration. You never, ever criticize the rape gangs and horrors perpetrated by Islam in all of the places Muslims go, like Rotherham, Malmo, or London.
Right now we have a massive scandal with Muslims in Minnesota stealing the taxpayer blind through massive fraud, enabled by Democrats all over the government. Have you whispered a word of criticism? Nope. Have you demanded any sort of accountability, punishment, or consequences for Democrats saying 'It's islamophobic to stop fraud!" No, you have not.
You might not dream of living in the Caliphate... but you openly prefer that over living in a country that is openly Christian.
"Macho macho man...

It took Trump too long to tell Europe to fuck right off in their eternal attempt to invade Russia. But he is finally doing it.
If he can actually stop genocides in Africa that would be a useful endeavor for the world. We will see.
Not an Oldster seems to think, again, that we should never, ever defend anyone against terrorism and especially we should never ever protect Jews and Christians from any violence. Ever.
He certainly hasn't said when it is ok to not offer ourselves up to be sacrificed to Allah, has he.
Vance... ready to welcome more Nigerians, these ones as war refugees, to our shores. You closet DEI supporter, you. Clever. Some good healthy eats, anyways...
Bring it?
Both Democrats and Republicans think we are in a struggle of civilizations. Republicans want to defend Christians, Jews, and western culture. Democrats think that Christians and Jews and western culture and white people need to be eradicated from the world. It's all our fault for everything, don't you know.

You have always supported the people who fight us. You support the people who hate this country because you hate this country. It is just who you are. On every issue you support immigrants over Americans.
It is because at the very core of your person you hate freedom. You hate that you cannot take other people's stuff and tell them what to do.
So any time there is someone who opposes the principles the United States was founded on you support them.
I welcome comments from anyone that can see the future. Please provide stock tips in your next post.
Or we could just start eliminating violent Islam in Nigeria and let THEM be the refugees back to their wastelands instead of having to protect everyone else from them.
Ever think of that? Make our enemies be the ones to flee from their homes and lands and be the refugees back to Iran or whatever for a change?
The Christian leaders there said we didn't hit the right region to protect Christians... You're like the helpful boy scout who insists he get an award for helping an old lady cross the street who ultimately strands her where she didn't even want to go...
I'll trust the religious Christian leaders over the macho warrior do gooder boy scouts with bombs any day, given what we know and have seen of US efforts to allegedly protect this century.
Christians see people. You see war scores, and never pay the price nor admit all the dead... losses.
Out...
" begone!"
Simple question: Does Inga, Kak, and the rest prefer Muslims over Mormons? The answer is yes. And that's the real issue, isn't it? You can substitute Amish for Mormons if you'd like.
inga would rather live in a town with mosques on every corner than she would in Lancaster.
Right, because the Amish are all about killing their enemies... lol. Stop yanking yourself at the attention you're getting here now?
"BEGONE!"
Immigration reform, murder, rape, torture, abortion, and displacement of Americans is a forward-looking looking policy and strategy preferable to emigration reform where people can coexist in their native nations in peace and security.
How many NGOs are weeping for redistributive change and leverage that will no longer be a viable choice?
Democrats openly prefer Islamic takeovers like what is happening in England with places like London and Rotherham over having a Christian dominant culture.
I know Democrats attack conservative Christians and demand them to be silenced or punished while they never, ever do anything other than defend what happens to the women and children in Rotherham and Malmo.
And I see, "Not an oldster" which is a new screen name for probably one of our older leftist trolls, that you are very concerned about making sure no one defends against Islamic violence and claiming that it is Unchristian to defend any Christian or Jew, anywhere. Which only proves my point that leftists support Islam over Christians, Jews, and freedom.
“Have you ever criticized Islam, Inga?”
Yes, I have.
“Have you EVER criticized Islam like you do Christians?”
I’m a CHRISTIAN, if I have any criticism for any religious belief system, it’s based on extremism. I don’t prefer any extremist over any non extremist whatever religion they are. Muslims rate low because they have a history in their religion of mistreating women and children and a belief that everyone needs to be Muslim. Mormons have a history of that also. Happily most normal Mormons broke away from the extremists that married 10 year old girls.
These comments sections keep getting stranger and stranger. It’s like they’ve morphed into some 8chan/4chan, whatever it’s called deep internet nuttery. They don’t even sound like an Althouse comments section anymore.
Inga, I'm a Mormon, and I know precisely how much leftists heap hate on my faith. Far more than they do on Islam. And no, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints NEVER married ten year old girls (if anyone did, they were excommunicated). Any group that claims to be Mormon that does that is not part of the faith. Unlike Islam, where child rape and abuse is widespread and prevalent and defended and supported by leftists all around the world.
I note you only attacked Mormons for alleged child abuse. You characterize Islamic treatment as mere "mistreatment" of women and children.
You claim to be a Christian, but support all the doctrines Christ condemned like abortion and racism against people.
Are you typing in from Israel , vance? 😉
The "send em back to Iran" and hiding behind (Christian) ladies' skirts, plus your insistence that we're all at risk here, and we MUST have more war to ensure OUR survival makes one wonder....
Hit Ann's tip jar for providing the platform, at least. And maybe think of fighting your own battles without continually drawing the US in?
Merry Christmas to people of goodwill.
Oh and Inga? If you are really a Christian then why are you condemning Trump for trying to protect Christians from being brutally murdered and genocided for being Christian? What real Christian opposes efforts to prevent fellow Christians from being tortured and killed for their faith in Jesus?
I am not from Israel, but I see you are one of those people who blames the Jews for everything, "not an oldster."
I live here in the good ole US of A, and I would VASTLY prefer to fight Islam over there, rather than in American cities.
The left and people like you want Islam here, in America, so we have to fight this wicked ideology here. With our women and children being the targets.
The Episcopalian Kalendar is full of African martyrs, killed by tribal leaders, Idi Amin, Sudanese juntas, etc.

Henry tudor is screaming in the ether at what has happened to his church
Vance, if you think Trump is a Christian, you are a fool. You can’t conceive of any other reason he is trying to form a pact with Nigeria? How does Trump represent Christianity? By holding the Bible upside down in a photo op in front of a church after tear gassing protesters in the street? What a true fool you are Vance. If I were you I’d pray for discernment.
The party that locked up people for praying that celebrated trans gender shooters were up to 11 now
Luke 2:14 - "and on earth peace, good will to men"
OR
"and on earth peace to men of goodwill"
Looks like Trump has chosen the more accurate translation. CC, JSM
*blink*. So Inga, if Trump is not a Christian, that somehow means he cannot defend Christians? He's banned from doing so? He has to hate them instead and want them dead?
I don't know what Trump is; I am not his judge. But I DO know, and you should as well since you are such a prominent Christian, that God works through non-believers all the time to protect the faithful. Like Cyrus, or Ahasuerus.
Or maybe God is using a "wicked Trump" to punish even more wicked people who are killing God's people.
If you actually knew your scriptures, you might have remembered that.
I never claimed Trump was "Representing Christianity." I said he was doing a good thing protecting Christians from genocide, torture and murder.
And here you are, attacking Trump for protecting Christians. Sure looks like you prefer genocide of Christians over Trump doing anything to protect them.
How "Christian" of you, Inga, to demand that hundreds of thousands of Christians in Nigeria be condemned to die just so you can attack Trump.
Emigration reform at cost or immigration reform at 10 or 100 times the cost and collateral losses through Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
Yesterday I talked about how we shouldn't have fought Japan in WW2.
Relatedly, imagine if we hadn't fought Germany either. They would have been running Africa for the last 80+ years. I don't think stuff like Boko Haram would have happened.
Imagine Gandhiji in the hands of Tojo...
Imagine Madiba in the hands of Reinhard Heydrich....
It's easy if you try....CC, JSM
Oh, and once again I note that Inga has plenty of things to bash Trump about and bashing him over defending Christians from torture, rape, murder, and genocide at the hands of the Islamic hordes.... but still has said NOTHING bad about the Muslims doing all of the genocide, torture, and rape of her fellow Christians. Only attacking Trump for doing something about it.
This is prima facie evidence that Inga prefers Islam over Christianity. Because she cannot stomach defense of Christians, and she cannot condemn Islamic attacks.
Muslims vote for progressives.
Progressives open the borders so more Muslims get in.
Muslims kick progressives out of their communities.
Progressives are stupid hateful people and they do anything they can to attack the foundations of the United States so they can take everyone's stuff.
Including letting people into the country that hate them and plan to throw them off a roof.
A blunt instrument as opposed to the stick figure who persecuted christians and jews while protecting criminals and terrorists

Vance, if you think Trump is a Christian, you are a fool. You can’t conceive of any other reason he is trying to form a pact with Nigeria? How does Trump represent Christianity? By holding the Bible upside down in a photo op in front of a church after tear gassing protesters in the street? What a true fool you are Vance. If I were you I’d pray for discernment.
Inga is so stupid she is a genius.
I am not sure you could pack more cognitive dissonance into a paragraph if you tried.
What do we with progressives though,
I admit that was a chenga tower of incoherence
I see the person who assured us last night that she never thinks about Trump more than necessary has spent the afternoon here posting about ... Trump.
Glen close was less focused
Now reservations because local forces are clearly not as willing or able to handle the threat until now
But i did try to bring some perspective to the matter
Inga: "What’s next, Trump sends the military to South Africa to protect the white Afrikaners?"
Not protect; evacuate. Use IC assets to coordinate a reverse Voortrek. On T-Day (Trek Day), Afrikaners start converging at meetups, making larger and larger caravans heading toward the sea.
US air assets provide initial cover. As the Trek congeals into a few very large convoys, they are joined by light armor landed at airfields seized by Batt Boys and the 82nd.
A beachhead seized by marines awaits them at the end of the Trek, where they are loaded onto various cargo ships.
Maybe we can even use a seized airfield for Civil Reserve Air Fleet evacuations of some of the Boers.
Ahead of all this, Trump tells the ANC that this is a humanitarian mission. Any attacks on Boers or on the American forces protecting them will be answered with countervalue, not counterforce, strikes. I.e., South African cities will be laid (even more) waste.
Woke whitie South Africans can wait for the aftermath of the Reverse Great Trek if they want. I am sure their skills will be in demand. And by 'skills,' I mean bending over for infuriated ANC leaders to feel like men again.
We made peace with these people in 1902. They fought loyally as part of the Anglosphere in two world wars and the cold war. We owe them this, more than we owe the Ukrainians anything. CC, JSM
British Museum under fire after 'poor taste' Union Jack party slammed as 'far-right' https://share.google/R1JOxeMwvBr1Mk6N9
'Ciso, I see you have also discovered GB News! As Portillo would say, Bra-vo!
From the article: "The event, proposed by museum director Nicholas Cullinan, would commemorate the loan of the Bayeux Tapestry from Normandy to the 272-year-old institution."
Jeez, you'd think the staff would like an event that celebrates and invasion and complete cultural change of England.
Course, nowadays just because you're a British Museum curator doesn't mean you have ever been taught British history. CC, JSM

Remember how during the campaign, people believed him when he said he was for "peace" and anti-war.
Also, expect a similar military operation within a day or two of every Epstein document release to try to divert attention. The US media is easily distracted.

"Yesterday I talked about how we shouldn't have fought Japan in WW2"
Mosby,
From 1937 onwards (and probably earlier) Japan was ruled by demonic spirits. My family met them in full force, 1941-45, and barely survived the encounter. If you insist on being deluded by modern annoyances into defending these devil-taken freaks of 90 years ago, then I must conclude that you too are corrupted.
What was that about becoming evil after confronting evil?
I suspect that is you, the weak, meeting but a slight emenation of evil (ex Inga and etc), losing your virtue entirely.
Nigeria is by far the most important black African country.
Its suffered a terrible economic crash since 2021-22, gdp per capita is down by 1/2 to 2/3rds. This is after flirting with economic takeoff 2006-2020. So it is very vulnerable to ISIS style takeover (think of Mosul 2014), about half of it anyway.
I never understood the leftists demand that Christians must never, ever, ever fight back or they are not true Christians. It's just warped Scripture. Jesus said "I am" meaning He was the God of the Old Testament. And one of the names of the God of the Old Testament was "Lord of Saboath" Which is a term for a War God.
And the book of Revelations is filled with war imagery, so this whole "Jesus is a peacenik hippy who never wants to fight" is just false doctrine leftists push to disarm foolish Christians.
They read one verse and they are of to the races
Yes the control faction were a terrible blight they empowered the chinese and vietnamese communists in resistance even the huk that bedeviled magsaysay
"I welcome comments from anyone that can see the future. Please provide stock tips in your next post."
It's actually harder to find things to invest in that do not go up in value eventually and beat inflation when inflation is reasonable as it is now: Index funds, real estate, precious metals, etc.. When inflation is high like during the previous administration it's hard to beat it, but even then these things were winning, and now they are killing it. The only trick is to avoid selling low. Fear is the dream killer, no matter how reasonable his appeal seems at the time.
Where do you lefties think your critics here get their ideas about you?
Note to our Lefty friends:
Your knee jerk reaction to everything Trump does is both predictable and brainless. Do you actually think about what you are posting or just seamlessly fall back on your deep reservoir of anti-Trump memes? I’m thinking it’s the latter.
Please try to do better in the new year. Then maybe somebody outside of your own hive will take you seriously.
Now will this expedition be successful time will tell

And after the Afrikaners leave you get to see what happens to a country when all of the "colonizers" are gone.

"Please try to do better in the new year. Then maybe somebody outside of your own hive will take you seriously."
It's surprising anybody outside the hive pays them any attention at all. Unless you're an idiot, all you need to do is look at current events and you know how the hive will react. No point wasting your time reading their blatherings unless you're *really* bored.
Save the native South Africans and Zulu from Mandela's Xhosa terrorists and transnational progressives.
After 30 years almost as long as sinn fein has been in power,
anc has been a miserable failure, handing over the country to indian and nigerian gangsters
The liberals (democratic alliance) thought they would prosper

I sold my parka and bought an AR 15. And a Glock.
I saw a fantastic tweet yesterday. Gerry Adams of Sinn Fein had tweeted complaining about how much work it was just turning on all of his Christmas lights and decorations, and some wag responded "Surely you know someone who could fit a timer?"

For a few centuries, the US was a fine refuge for the oppressed strays of the Old World, but that era is over.

Buwaya: If I were a Filipino I might feel like you. But I'm not. You might also have noted that I was ready to leave Europe to the tender mercies of the Krauts, which would mean Spain definitely staying far-right, and the Basques (which I am a tiny bit) left to Franco's methods of nation-building. I'm an American and my alternative history is offered principally as a way to save American lives.
But also in a Benthamite way, abandoning Asia to the Japanese would have reduced long-term violence. And all the communist stuff either wouldn't have happened in the first place, or would have been quickly and ruthlessly put down.
Your family had to fight the japanese and barely survived. Mine also fought the japanese and the krauts and barely survived. And then fought the various commies in Asia and barely survived. And lots of boys tied to me by college and regimental bonds didn't survive. And unlike your family, mine didn't have to be there. And I don't think it really served US interests in the long run for them to be in most of those places if there was another way. Sorry. CC, JSM
All of humanity is humanity. Our family was Spanish, and technically neutral, but several went to war anyway. One of ours that went to war was half-American, a US Army reservist, and he never returned. We are now Spanish, Filipino, Australian, British, and American, including my children. You are narrow and limited in your vision, and this is a sin.
Buwaya - I think I'm rather broad in my vision - looking at the whole region, over a very long period of time. We could have had a better result with lots fewer deaths on all sides.
You remind me - and this is a compliment - of Michelle Malkin. It's good to remember what the Japanese did, but it's also good to remember everything that came before and after. CC, JSM

The Japanese invaded the neutral Spanish embassy in Manila in February 1945 and murdered everyone, the diplomatic staff, guards, and refugees, about 100 in total. One little girl survived, wounded.
They did the same, and worse, at the German consulate btw.
The Japanese were enemies of all humanity.
The Japanese also murdered the Swiss, the Irish, the Italians, the South Americans, the Siamese, the Russians (there were many "white Russians" in Manila), and German Jews (our old home in Manila was occupied by German Jews in 1945. All murdered.)
Yeah, well, I don't think the Israelites should have fought the Canaanites, or the Greeks should have fought the Persians.
What merit badge do I get?
Maybe I'm doing Trump a disservice. By stopping the bombing of a very small Nigerian province, he has effectively ended yet another war, bringing him much closer to that coveted peace prize.The more wars he starts, the more he can end. Pure genius—3D chess in action.
I am always surprised that Portugal colonized Angola and held it until 1974 as an integral part of Portugal. Portugal used “restricted labor” in Angola until the end, it was equivalent to slavery, that statement can be defended. Belgium under king Leopold II ruled the Belgian Congo until 1910 and the home of the EU set the indentured African workers free in 1960. King Leopold ordered that all slaves who did not work hard would have their hands cut off. And there were many done so. The current royalty of Belgium, honored by the EU, are direct dependents of Leopold II.
Belgium and France had wars to resist giving colonies self rule. So did England but they gave up India and fuked up the Middle East. Belgium left the Congo in a state of perpetual war. But now day Belgians are so pure they tell the world how to run. Ha ha.
EU, America had slaves in 1860, Historian, but you had slaves in Angola and the Congo until the 1970s. EU, restrictions on the internet are badly needed.
The Japanese were absolute festering undeniable monsters in ww2. Rape Australian nurses then cut their throats and let them die slowly kind of monsters. Now they are nice holier than thou moralists who can fine tune electronics. They are the victims of atomic weapons, but never ask themselves why.
Japan can kiss my ass, but there is no morality in statecraft.

Nigerian Muslim farmers were murdering Christians en masse before the arrival of Isis.
I like how Kak is fully revealing himself as a big fan and supporter of Islamic types committing genocide on everyone else.
How else can you explain Kak's posts in this thread as other than him being upset that someone did something to try to stop the mass murder of Christians and Jews?
👆 Trump theater for his evangelical backers. The danger, though, is that he will further destabilize a region that does not need US meddling.
If Trump is preoccupied by Christian persecution he should take a closer look at what his closest ally is up to in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Or are they they wrong kind of Christian?
Kak bounces off the walls of his padded cell, straining against his straitjacket, shrieking out once a minute, "The Epstein Files, the Epstein Files" ... while Inga is just dog vomit and worthy of any attention or respect such a pile of debris might deserve. Evil bitch. In all she writes. Anything that purports to be good is a lie.
Meanwhile, Fulani Muslim “herdsman” will continue to slaughter Nigerian Christians.
Kackle: “… he will further destabilize a region that does not need US meddling.“ Oh look. The kackler thinks ISIS is a stabilizing force and slaughtering Christians is the evidence. TDS eats brain cells.
