The US is starving and killing babies in Cuba, and the media is staying silent about it.
The US is starving Cuba like Israel is starving Gaza.
This violates Article 33 of Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits collective punishment—this’s illegal and a crime against humanity

Gaza se enfrenta a una tragedia inimaginable. Nada justifica que las personas de Gaza paguen un precio tan alto e injusto. En medio de la devastación, Richard Gere se une a UNRWA. Apoyar a UNRWA es proteger vidas y defender la humanidad. Por favor

If having an affair with a woman can bring down a CEO, shouldn’t raping little girls bring down politicians and billionaires.

The President is leading a high-level, multi-stakeholder South African delegation, comprising representatives from government, academia, business, research institutions, technical experts and university students, on a learning visit to Silicon Valley.

The war in Iran has cost the U.S. taxpayer over $47 billion so far, not to mention the additional cost imposed on families at the pump & grocery store.
Imagine if that $47 billion had been invested in OUR infrastructure instead of being used to fund a new war. This should not be a novel concept, and all of us who lived through the post-9/11 wars should have known better. Those wars cost us $8-9 trillion and didn’t make our nation any safer. Over 7,000 Americans were killed, and for what? Only a handful of operations during those wars actually targeted those responsible for 9/11 or took out terrorists intent on attacking our homeland.
There is nothing intelligent nor conservative—at all—about forsaking the needs, safety, and prosperity of our people to launch yet another foreign war that only serves foreign interests & corporate lobbies.
Last night’s FAA emergency is another glaring indicator that we must return our focus to domestic issues instead of burning our resources and attention on fruitless fights abroad.
End the Iran war now and invest our efforts in our own country.
While the government has confirmed that last night’s incident was not a cyber attack but rather an issue while ATC systems were reportedly being updated, the reality is that a cyber attack by a foreign actor like Iran or Russia is a scenario we must be prepared for & be confident that we can deter, particularly since we are directly & indirectly at war with both countries, respectively.
Our cyber systems are a prime target for our enemies and will remain so until our vulnerabilities are addressed. In the meantime, how can we possibly justify the risks we’re taking by being involved in these wars?
It is past time to end these foolish wars that serve no benefit to the American people. Focus on improving American lives here at home.

Even when it's institutionalized a lie remains a lie. There was no such intervention from the President or the Presidency and there will never be. Read our constitution and laws and familiarize yourself with the SABC editorial code. Stop disgracing yourself and your country.

Your Excellency, I deeply regret that I have to address you through a public platform. However, now that you have falsely referenced the President on a matter he has no involvement in, I'm duty bound to clarify your misrepresentation of facts.
It was a great and historic morning today at the South African Presidential Guest House in Pretoria where I had the honor and privilege of presenting my letters of credence to His Excellency President Cyril Ramaphosa @CyrilRamaphosa, the President of the Republic of South Africa, along with Ambassadors from 14 other countries.
It was a beautiful and historic occassion which witnessed the first posting of a substantive Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to the Republic of South Africa in four years.
The entire event was livestreamed by @PresidencyZA (the South African Presidency) where millions of Nigerians, South Africans, Africans and members of the international community were watching in real time.
Every single one of the 15 Ambassadors that were present were introduced formally and gave a speech.
Curiously the South African Presidency refused to air the introduction of my goodself and the Nigerian delegation or to air my speech.
They went a step further by cutting us out of the livestream completely and went back on livestream only after my speech was concluded.
Of all the 15 introductions and speeches that were made and delivered this morning only Nigeria's was cut out.
I raised the issue with President Ramaphosa directly during the course of the photo session and whilst we were still on the premises and, in fairness to him, he took me to the relevant officials and acted with despatch.
Right there in my prescence he questioned them and directed them to resolve the issue immediately.
Sadly by then it was too late and Nigeria had been left out. To be clear, I repeat, we were the ONLY ones that were left out.
Clearly some elements in South Africa do not want to hear what we have to say or see our faces but we are here to stay as long as we are welcome and have the confidence of President Ramaphosa, which I am sure we do.
Luckily for us there were at least two Nigerian television stations at the event and all that I had to say was fully recorded by them and will be released to the Nigerian public.
There is also footage that will be released in which I complained directly to the President and in which he called his staff and told them what to do.
Whilst still on the premises, when offered an interview by @SABCNews
(the South African State Broadcaster), I turned them down as a consequence of the deplorable way we were treated and I told them to go and listen to my speech instead which their Presidency officials had refused to air.
One thing is clear, I have immense respect and affection for South Africa and the South African people but I will not be anywhere or tolerate anyone that disrespects or treats our Government or our people flippantly.
My thanks goes to President Ramaphosa for his concern and timely intervention.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria and God bless the Republic of South Africa.

Remember these two criminals. Leigh R. Tate, the commander, and Jeffrey E. York, the executive officer of the USS Spruance, who ordered the launch of Tomahawk missiles three times, killing 168 innocent children at a school in Minab.
Don’t they have children of their own?
