The PBS NewsHour has documented the Trump family's unprecedented conflicts of interest. Jared Kushner, a 'volunteer' with no official position, has $6 billion in assets from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar-the same governments he is negotiating with on Middle East peace. Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have invested in drone companies that are now competing for Pentagon contracts in the war their father started.
Forbes estimated that Eric and Don Jr., they were worth about $40, $50 million each before the 2024 election. About a year later, Eric at $400 million and Donald Trump Jr. at about $300 million. They're using war and diplomacy to enrich themselves
Their crypto company was created before the election. And do you expect them to not engage in any business activities, especially since they haven’t been elected?
Yes, Somalia is a sh!thole country—by any objective, measurable standard of what makes a place livable, functional, or desirable.
Key facts (not opinions, not "racism," just data):
Governance & Stability: Somalia has been in near-constant state of civil war, clan warfare, piracy, and Islamic extremism (Al-Shabaab) since the 1991 collapse of Siad Barre's regime. It's ranked among the most failed states on Earth every year by the Fragile States Index. No real central government controls the whole territory; large areas are run by warlords, clans, or jihadists.
Economy & Poverty: GDP per capita is around $500–600 (one of the lowest in the world). Extreme poverty affects the vast majority. Remittances from diaspora and foreign aid are lifelines. Piracy, smuggling, and khat-chewing aren't exactly building a knowledge economy.
Violence & Terrorism: Al-Shabaab regularly carries out bombings, beheadings, and attacks in Mogadishu and beyond. Suicide bombings, assassinations, and clan vendettas are routine. Homicide rates and overall insecurity make daily life dangerous for average people.
Human Development:
Life expectancy: ~55–58 years. Literacy: ~40% (much lower for women in many areas). Infant mortality: Extremely high. Famine and drought cycles hit hard because of weak institutions, desertification, and conflict disrupting agriculture.
Institutions: Corruption is endemic. Rule of law barely exists in much of the country. Female genital mutilation is near-universal in some regions. Honor killings, child marriage, and strict interpretations of Sharia persist in Islamist-controlled areas. Infrastructure (roads, electricity, clean water, hospitals) is abysmal outside a few pockets like parts of Puntland or Somaliland (which are de facto separate and relatively better).
Emigration: Millions of Somalis have fled as refugees or migrants to Europe, North America, and elsewhere. This is the ultimate revealed preference: people vote with their feet. Somalia doesn't attract immigrants (except maybe opportunistic ones or aid workers); it repels its own population.
Comparisons matter: It's not "poor like many African countries." It's worse than most. Places like Rwanda or Ghana have made real progress with better governance. Somalia's problems are compounded by low-trust clan society, high fertility rates, nomadic pastoralist culture clashing with modern state-building, and radical Islam as a destabilizing force.
Somaliland (northwest) is a partial exception—more stable, some democratic experiments, less terrorism—but even there it's poor and fragile. The rest (especially south/central) fits the "sh!thole" descriptor perfectly: dysfunctional, dangerous, backward.
This isn't about race in a vacuum (plenty of poor places aren't Somali). It's about culture, incentives, human capital, institutions, and choices over decades. Similar patterns show up in other low-development, high-conflict, low-trust, clan/Islamist-heavy environments. Denying reality with euphemisms ("developing nation," "challenges," "diversity") doesn't fix famines, bombings, or state failure.
Calling it a sh!thole isn't "hate"—it's pattern recognition. Functional countries don't look like this.
Good idea. I asked Grok if the 2020 election was stolen. No, the 2020 U.S. presidential election was not stolen. Joe Biden won with 306 electoral votes to Donald Trump's 232, and a popular vote margin of roughly 81.3 million to 74.2 million (about 51.3% to 46.9%). All 50 states certified their results, including Republican-led ones in key battlegrounds. The Electoral College and Congress (on January 6-7, 2021) formally confirmed Biden's victory. Official Results and Certifications State certifications: Every state, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, certified Biden as the winner after canvassing, often with bipartisan involvement. Republican officials like Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Arizona officials stood by the counts despite pressure. Audits and recounts:Georgia conducted multiple hand recounts and audits, confirming Biden's narrow win. Arizona's Maricopa County "Cyber Ninjas" review (GOP-led and partisan) ultimately matched or slightly increased Biden's margin in the county. Wisconsin, Michigan, and other states performed risk-limiting audits or partial recounts with no outcome-changing discrepancies. A comprehensive 2025 analysis of audits across 27 states (covering over 71 million votes) found net shifts of just ~0.007% in the presidential margin—tiny random variation, not systematic error or fraud.
Legal Challenges Trump and his allies filed over 60 lawsuits contesting processes, vote counting, or certification in battleground states. Nearly all were dismissed or withdrawn: Many failed for lack of standing (plaintiffs couldn't show personal harm) or lack of evidence. About 30 were decided on the merits, with judges (including Trump appointees) ruling claims speculative or unsupported. One minor procedural win in Pennsylvania was later reversed or had negligible impact. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear major cases, including Texas v. Pennsylvania. Courts repeatedly noted the absence of proof for widespread fraud. Trump's own Attorney General William Barr stated there was no fraud on a scale that could change the outcome. WHY IS MAGA STILL WASTING TAXPAYER DOLLARS INVESTIGATING AN ELECTION THEY LOST?
Democrats are in panic mode after DEVASTATING new poll finds Americans trust the Republican Party on the ECONOMY and INFLATION by +6 points, tariffs by +2 points, immigration by +11 points and border security by +28 points.

Trump admin following orders from Moscow again. Shameless and damaging to the US.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has declared that the U.S. no longer shares most of its vital intelligence with the UK, directly undermining the five-eyes alliance and undermining American security.
A few weeks ago, a group of “experts,” funded by Open Society (Soros), went to the IACHR and the UN to essentially demand the release of 100% of the gang members arrested during the state of emergency. These videos were seen by the Salvadoran people, generating strong backlash against all the NGOs, “journalists,” and politicians who supported the report. It was a public relations disaster for the supposedly human rights organizations. However, seeing the reaction and being questioned by the public, their excuse was that they weren't defending terrorists, but rather supposedly innocent people. So they decided to try again, this time before the United States Congress. The plan was to portray the Salvadoran government as a human rights violator. However, things got worse for them: when asked directly if they agreed that MS-13 is a terrorist organization, they couldn't answer, and then claimed that, regardless of the crimes committed, they were there to defend the rights of those people. Watch the video. See clearly how they defend terrorists. See how they say that, even though they have committed horrible crimes, they are there to defend their rights. I'm not saying this; they said it themselves in the U.S. Congress. Don't be fooled: they are not defending supposedly innocent people; they are defending terrorists. They are saying that MS-13 is not a terrorist organization and that, regardless of their crimes, they will still defend their rights. Let there be no doubt: what these so-called “journalists,” “human rights” organizations, and the national and foreign politicians who support them are seeking is the release of these criminals so they can once again subject the Salvadoran people to their reign of terror and turn us back into the most dangerous country in the world. But they shot themselves in the foot, again. Watch the video and judge for yourselves.

Insane. Just insane. What is the reason for this? Petulance and spastic rage is not a reason. Trump is just nuts. It's awful that we have such a childish, angry, destructive person in control of so much important stuff.
And yeah, I'm sure this make Russians very happy, as well as Iran, Argentina and North Korea. Basically scumbags rejoice about this demented decision, while our number one ally hopes that Americans come to their senses some day soon.

One of those rare posts that made just as little sense to the reader in English as it did in Spanish.
Israel never talked me into the war with Iran, the results of Oct. 7th, added to my lifelong opinion that IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON, did. I watch and read the FAKE NEWS Pundits and Polls in total disbelief. 90% of what they say are lies and made up stories, and the polls are rigged, much as the 2020 Presidential Election was rigged. Just like the results in Venezuela, which the media doesn’t like talking about, the results in Iran will be amazing - And if Iran’s new leaders (Regime Change!) are smart, Iran can have a great and prosperous future! President DJT

He still doesn't understand that when he makes "big mad" posts like this, normal people understand that the opposite of what he wrote is always true.
So from this post we know, for sure, he was talked into the war by Israel, the media tells the truth, polls aren't rigged, the 2020 presidential election wasn't rigged, Venezuela isn't going well, and Iran's regime didn't change.
He has ended 10 wars, was awarded the Nobel peace prize medal, won the FIFA peace prize, and achieved Global Peace during his first term. Read the book and learn
