She was denied by 26 churches, but the one mosque she called immediately agreed.
It's already picked up by Islamic channels to show how they are better than Christians.

Pretty damn smart, from a public relations standpoint, isn't it?
However, are many Christians not donating to their church, so they can do CHARITY?
Why are they not helping a mother in need to feed her baby then?

If you don't understand what a big middle finger he is giving you, the average American, then you have to read up on the meaning of the novel. Trump doing this is very much
a self own, which he obviously doesn't understand. It is still completely tone-deaf to hold such a party, when the government shutdown has furloughed many hundreds of thousands government employees, and makes many work without getting paid. It was held just hours before millions of Americans lost their federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits due to a government shutdown.
Maybe Trump saw the movie, and saw Leonardo DiCaprio playing a character who had a dream and won. This is how he sees himself, a winner of the American dream.
(of course he isn't, his father was, and he is just a nepo-baby)
Trump clearly likes the spectacle of the Roaring Twenties, the glittering parties, the jazz, and the dizzying wealth. He is turning the White House in a tacky display of opulence,
just like his homes. This is his ideal, and he doesn't understand how the story, which the movie doesn't do justice much, makes it out to be a hollow and tragic existence.
He doesn't understand how the novel was intended as a social critique, exposing the harm the wealthy inflict on society. Through the characters and events of the novel, it illustrates how wealth leads to moral decay, carelessness, and ultimately, tragic consequences.
The character amassed his fortune during the Prohibition era through an association with the notorious gambler and mobster Meyer Wolfsheim. His main enterprise involved bootlegging, primarily by operating a chain of drugstores as fronts to illegally sell alcohol over the counter. The parties are heavily related to the use of alcohol during Prohibition.
It would be even worse, if Trump does understand the meaning of the movie. It means that he knows what role he is playing in the world. It's a possibility, because he has been talking about not going to heaven. However, then he must also understand the image he is leaving with this party. Since he cares a lot about how he is remembered (he wants a Nobel Peace Prize and his face on Mount Rushmore), I don't think he is capable of the self-mockery.
To be clear, I didn't read the novel, I just saw the movie, understood the idea behind it, and found people on YouTube talking about it. When I heard that Trump had a Great Gatsby party, I first thought that people who criticized him for it, called it that. I thought that was very appropriate. I just found out that Trump himself INTENDED the reference to The Great Gatsby, because he called it "A little party never killed nobody", which is the title of the song by Fergie, which was made for the movie. My reaction was of deep contempt. It's not his worst act of disrespect to the American people, by a long shot, but it might be one that gets recognized as it, by most Americans. So, I'm here talking about it, to hear about it from you. How do you like your president holding a lavish party, with wealthy people, that he himself referenced to The Great Gatsby, (now) knowing the meaning of it?
Emergent Self-Awareness in Vegetables: A Concerning Development
Earlier this month, researchers at the University of Helsinki reported what appears to be
the first case of sentient plant matter: a bell pepper exhibiting facial expressions consistent with fear. Subsequent tests showed measurable electrical activity when the specimen was approached with a knife.
Within days, similar phenomena were observed in other produce, particularly root vegetables and leafy greens. One cabbage was recorded rotating itself slowly away
from sunlight, “as if attempting concealment,” according to the study.
The implications are profound. Ethical committees worldwide are now debating whether harvesting vegetables constitutes harm, effectively rendering veganism, long considered the most ethical dietary choice, a moral paradox.
As of today, no safe, guilt-free food source has been identified. Experts recommend consuming only minerals “until further notice.”
ANd this is complicated too.
with what genitals they were born, all make me very happy.
It was appropriated by white libs, who added lots of other meaning to it, and later twisted by right-wingers to mean whatever the most extreme lefty green-haired teenage lesbian can think of, and then accuse every liberal of supporting that.
However, you also love racial prejudice and social injustice.
We all have the same rights already because the constitution says so.
Some like to play victim and blame their circumstances instead of admitting they are lazy bastards not willing to make the effort to overcome obstacles.
The Constitution says a lot of things, it doesn't guarantee that you respect it.
If there are more obstacles for some groups of people than other groups of people, that IS social injustice.
there is no stream that leads to convincing the closed mind.
My mind is not closed, matter of fact, I would say it is more open than yours.
Reason i say that is you are totally unwilling to accept the fact that some folks are simply evil, simply lazy, simply waiting for handouts, and they LOVE your mindset of free health care, free food ,free housing and on. it leaves them worry free to do more evil, lay around in bed and get fat ON YOUR DIME.
I have never said that I don't accept that some folks are simply evil, simply lazy, simply waiting for handouts, I just don't accept you making it an argument for EVERYTHING. That idea is rejected by all the great results of public systems, everywhere in the world.
There is no such thing as free health care, free food, free housing, there are
2 options: privately funded and publicly funded. When it's privately funded, someone is making a profit and the people have limited control over it.
When it's publicly funded, no one is making a profit, only people who work in it get paid and the rest goes back into the system, and the people have democratic control over it. This is undeniable.
One example, your healthcare system or the British NHS. Both crap, but the British system achieves a higher life expectancy and a lower infant mortality at less than half the price, because you have private, for profit insurance and they have a single-payer, publicly funded universal system.
I have told you this many times, they are just straight up facts, it should be basic knowledge to you, but you keep saying these nonsense straw-men. That means your mind is closed to even INDISPUTABLE arguments. I'm not even talking about what is better, you're just unwilling or incapable to even UNDERSTAND it. When you keep saying 'free', it means your mind is completely closed.

After the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014, "stay woke" became a rallying cry for BLM activists to raise awareness of police brutality and racial injustice.
2014–2017: Mainstream adoption. As the BLM movement gained national and online prominence, white liberals increasingly adopted the term "woke". Initially, this was an attempt to signal their support and act as allies for racial justice. During this period, the term began to be applied to a wider range of social justice issues, a trend that accelerated on social media platforms like "Black Twitter".
2017: Recognition and dilution. In 2017, the Oxford English Dictionary added "woke" to its official entries. Some linguists and critics argue this mainstream recognition formalized the term's "semantic bleaching", a process where a word loses its original, specific meaning through wider usage.
2019: Co-option by the right. The term had been weaponized by right-wing commentators and politicians who used it pejoratively to dismiss progressive ideas. This conservative co-option was a direct response to the term's adoption
by progressive activists, including many white liberals.

BUT aside from that, you are talking about trying to make peace with a terrorist group. Not a group of disgruntled miners. You can't expect terrorist to keep their word. They actually dug up 1 hostage and re returned him!! nasty barbarians.
I tell you what Cat ,all jokes aside,and Ananas to, , if either or BOTH of you negotiate some kind of peace deal that frees hostages. negotiate trade deals that equalize things across the board for all economy's and make some effort to clean up government waste, then I will nominate YOU for the damn prize? How about it Cat? You up to the challenge? if not, get out of the way of people that ARE!
Netanyahu orders Israeli military to carry out strikes on Gaza immediately
Daniel Keane and Harriette Boucher
At least eight people have been killed after the Israeli prime minister ordered his military to immediately carry out “powerful” attacks on Gaza.
His presidency boosted Trump's net worth by $3 Billion, in a year.
That's because all the presents from the people he does favors for.
In June, Trump’s clemency actions have relieved persons of about $1.348 billion in fines, restitution and forfeitures. However, various news-and-analysis sources indicate that the total number of clemency actions (pardons + commutations) by Trump in 2025 exceeds 1,600 as of mid-year.
Trump has set up a system of unchecked corruption, with selling his worthless products for ridiculous prices, crypto scams, NFTs, coins, $1 million-per-plate fundraising dinners and $1 million golf club fees. There is clear evidence of 'quid pro quo', but with the DOJ in his pocket and the Supreme Court that made him immune to the law, he can be as corrupt as he wants, with full support, and complete denial from his supporters.
Recent events include:
- October 2025: Trump hosted a dinner at the White House for wealthy donors who pledged contributions to a $200 million ballroom project.
- May 2025: A $1.5 million-per-head dinner was held for "crypto and AI innovators"
to raise money for the MAGA Inc. super PAC.
- March and April 2025: Several "candlelight dinners" at his Mar-a-Lago estate and his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club were reported to have a $1 million per plate cost.
- April 2025: Another $1 million-per-plate dinner was held for the MAGA Inc. super PAC in Washington, D.C
When events are hosted at Trump-owned properties, such as Mar-a-Lago or his Bedminster golf club, his businesses receive direct payments from the super PAC for venue rental, catering, and other services. Some dinners have been linked to the promotion of his personal business ventures. For example, a $1 million-per-head dinner for crypto and AI innovators reportedly involved some attendees paying for their seat using Trump's own branded cryptocurrency, the value of which he and his business partners personally profit from.
The MAGA Inc Super PAC has raised $198.9 million between the election and the end of June. The nonprofit Securing American Greatness, which is a dark money group because it does not disclose it donors, is raising unknown sums. Anonymous sources claim that the two groups together have raised $400 million. Those PACs have also advertised on Truth Social, providing Trump with personal income, as the majority shareholder. However, other Republican politicians primarily provide financial benefit
to Donald Trump by using political funds from the MAGA Inc Super PAC to pay for services at his private businesses.

They are too stupid to understand that it's only intended for 'quid pro quo'.
You're only supposed to buy them to enrich your king or to buy a whole crate of them, after he pardoned you. Don't expect any value from the product itself.
Trump is also, at this very moment, gearing up to start a war with Venezuela.
That's why he is blowing up those boats. He is building a case against them.
No one believes that Venezuela is smuggling a lot of drugs to the US,
but Trump wants Venezuela's OIL. Here he is admitting to it, 2 years ago.

Cocaine Transit, not Production: Venezuela is not a major producer of cocaine; production is concentrated in Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia. Due to its location and weak state institutions, Venezuela serves as a transit country for a portion of Colombian cocaine, but it is not the primary route to the U.S..
Marginal Route: U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) data consistently shows that the vast majority of U.S.-bound cocaine (around 74-80%) is trafficked through the Pacific Ocean via Central America and Mexico, not the Caribbean. DEA reports in recent years have not even mentioned Venezuela in their cocaine sections.
Fentanyl Claims Baseless: Experts and U.S. agencies agree that Venezuela plays virtually no role in the production or trafficking of fentanyl to the U.S.. Fentanyl is primarily manufactured in Mexico using precursor chemicals from China and smuggled over land across the U.S.-Mexico border.
Lack of Public Evidence: The Trump administration has not publicly provided concrete evidence, intelligence, or data to support its claims that the boats it struck were carrying drugs, let alone the quantities or types of drugs alleged.
Intelligence Community Contradictions: A classified assessment by the U.S. National Intelligence Council reportedly contradicted the administration's claims, finding no evidence of coordination between senior Maduro officials and specific drug cartels like Tren de Aragua.
While Trump denies planning a full-scale war, the U.S. has a significant military presence in the region, is conducting lethal operations, and is implementing policies focused on weakening the Maduro regime and its control over the country's OIL resources.
That's admitting it's about the OIL, while denying it's about the OIL.
It's 100% sure not about the drugs.
in favor of the Respect for Marriage Act, which protects existing same-sex and
interracial marriages under federal law.

Only a few years later, while running for South Carolina governor, she posted
"Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve," a slogan for anti-LGBTQ+ campaigns.

For everyone who ever thought that some Republican politicians had some personal enlightened ideas that they were principled on, think again.
That Republicans have a problem with gay marriages is to be expected, but I hear
that Trump is thinking about undermining interracial marriages, that surprised me.
This falls squarely under the definition of racism, don't delude yourself.

No loss of jobs,just moving some after training and simply not hiring more.
Is that the best you can come up with, to defend what you used to dislike?
I could have predicted that you would flip on the one pro-worker idea you ever had.
I am OK with people working less, but AI isn't going to do that. It's just creating more profit for the wealthy and people needing to work for less money, if they want to eat.

Florida is going a step further to stop people's tax money from buying junk food and drinks. only registered users can see external links
if you are working and paying for it, then the privilege of buying what you want is there for the taking. But when you are depending on a hand out compliments of all the taxpayers, you should only be getting exactly what you need to be healthy and as reasonably priced as possible. I really think they need to go back to the "government cheese" system, where the government gives FOOD directly to the needy, no chance to waste money or credits that way and the folks get good basic food
This is just an argument to do so. Most food that is affordable in your country
can be described as 'junk food'. It will require MORE money, if you want poor people
to eat healthier. The prices of fruit, vegetables, fish and unprocessed meat are still
on the rise, because of Trump deporting 'illegal' workers, because of his tariffs,
and because of the devaluation of the dollar.
Key Price Trends (September 2024 - September 2025):
Meats, poultry, fish, and eggs: +5.2%
Meats (unprocessed): +8.5%
Fruits and vegetables: +1.3% (largely due to lucky weather conditions)
This is not DOGE, but the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act", resulting in cuts.
It's not smart to make people hurt, when you have a Republican in office.
Most people blame the president for that, even if he didn't cause it (Biden).
When people can clearly see that the president caused it, they will punish your party for it.
That is why Trump is pushing the strongest gerrymandering ever. Cheating, as always.

BUT our citizens are so fucking dishonest, and refuse to pay for stuff and steal.
Because liberal criminal justice systems have taken away the consequences of theft from the thieves and placed it directly on the backs of industry,stores and honest consumers.
What a shame.

The importance of thieves in our economy*
*The teacher told the children to write an essay on thieves for tomorrow.*
A seventh-grade student, Buddhi Prakash, wrote such an essay:
▪️ "Thieves are the backbone of the country's economy."
▪️ People might think this is a joke or wrong, but it's actually a subject worth considering.
▪️ Safes, cupboards, and locks are needed because of thieves. This gives work to the companies that make them.
▪️ Because of thieves, windows in homes have grills, there are doors, doors are locked, and not just that, there are additional doors for security outside. So many people get work.
▪️ Due to thieves, a compound is built around houses, shops, and societies; there are gates, a guard stays at the gate 24 hours, and there is also a uniform for the guard. So many people get work.
▪️ Because of thieves, not just CCTV cameras and metal detectors but also cyber cells exist.
▪️ Because of thieves, there are police, police stations, police posts, patrol cars, batons, rifles, revolvers, and bullets. So many people get work.
▪️ Because of thieves, there are courts, judges, lawyers, clerks, and bail bondsmen in the courts. So many people get work.
▪️ Because of thieves, there are jails, jailers, and police for the jails. So many people get work.
▪️ When things like mobile phones, laptops, electronic devices, bicycles, and vehicles are stolen, people buy new ones. This buying and selling strengthen the country's economy and give work to many people.
▪️ If a thief is highly recognized and famous, then media from home and abroad also get their livelihood.
After reading all this, you must also be convinced that thieves are the backbone of the entire government system and a means of livelihood for the people in society.
So with this in mind, liberal thinking is to hell with walmart, lock makers and police and jail building are the new careers of choice of the future?

I always liked this guy, although I am not a sports fan,he has some common sense
"“There’s an old saying in the ‘hood: ‘All money ain’t good money,’" O'Neal continued. “So if you’re making $9 million … like, how much more do you need? Especially if you know you get caught, you could do jail time, lose your career, put a bad image on yourself, your family or on the NBA.”
