Something that this forum doesnt understand about Trump
Non Americans shouldnt like trump, as he only works for us and not them. A bonus is that they, the rest of the west could be better off with him, but most are too dumb to understand whats in their own best interest -

Something that this forum doesnt understand about Trump
America free elections? 😂😂 The US electoral system is a joke and about as contrived and messed up as it gets in the western world, being all about who can drum up the most money. Didn’t like the guy but Obama aside, reason why complete numpties keep ending up in the house. Hardly think ‘most’ Americans support what’s happening right now either. Many will be embarrassed, even those that voted him in will likely rue their decision over the coming years, while those that don’t care what the rest of the world thinks are typically bogun types that don’t know what the rest of the world even is… that Canada is north and Mexico is south etc. It’s a mess and all in the name of xenophobia. Maybe when this lot (Trump, Putin, Xi), and the current generation in general is cleared out, humanity can move forwards again. Op and co will disregard this opinion because, as with the extreme left, others are not permitted to have one. -

I agree with the OP. I read these posts from non Americans and it’s pure insanity. I voted Trump and he’s doing exactly what i wanted him to do. The constant insults and childish names about President Trump show they never had any respect for America or our way of life to begin with. -

Kanye West Sparks Outrage with Controversial Casting Call for New Choir
Kanye West has once again ignited backlash after announcing an open casting call for his latest project, a choir known as "The Hooligans." The 47-year-old rapper, already under intense scrutiny for his previous anti-Semitic remarks, shared the details of the audition on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday night, sparking widespread outrage. "THE HOOLIGANS Open casting call for volunteers," the post read. "Ye is putting together a hooligan choir to give the sound of the Vultures number one song Carnival." However, the eligibility criteria quickly raised eyebrows. "Those interested in joining must be men and fit. NO FAT PEOPLE," the announcement specified. Further adding to the controversy, the casting call required participants to have "the skin complexion of Sean Combs and darker." This exclusionary requirement drew immediate criticism, with many accusing West of engaging in discriminatory behavior. West, who has been a vocal supporter of Sean 'Diddy' Combs despite the latter facing federal charges of racketeering and sex trafficking, even featured what appeared to be a recorded conversation between them in his latest track, Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine. The choir members are also required to have shaved heads or be willing to shave them if selected. However, the most shocking detail was the final stipulation: they "MUST BE COMFORTABLE WEARING SWASTIKAS." West, who has faced condemnation for his previous remarks about Hitler and Nazis, introduced a line of T-shirts featuring swastikas in February, further fueling concerns over his extremist rhetoric. The response to the casting call was swift and harsh. While some mocked the unusual requirements, others expressed outrage. "Not dark or skinny enough, damn," one person sarcastically remarked. Another furious commenter wrote, "This is straight-up clown behavior. If you’re begging for attention this hard, you’ve already lost. Swastikas? Fat-shaming? Obsessing over skin color? You sound like a joke trying way too hard to be edgy. Nobody with self-respect would waste their time on this garbage." A particularly scathing response read, "JEWISH lives matter, BLACK lives matter, fk slavery, fk yo NARCISSISM and also—son—f**k you." The outrage extended beyond social media, with Anti-Defamation League (ADL) CEO and National Director Jonathan Greenblatt strongly condemning West’s actions. Speaking to Daily Mail, Greenblatt stated, "There is no excuse—none—for praising Hitler. Glorifying a genocidal dictator with swastika merch is not 'edgy' or 'controversial.' When someone with Kanye’s influence spreads Nazi glorification, it emboldens extremists. It’s unacceptable and downright dangerous." West’s actions continue to alienate fans and industry professionals alike, with many questioning whether his behavior is a calculated attempt to stay in the public eye or a genuine descent into extremism. Regardless, the backlash against his latest move shows no signs of slowing down. Based on a report by Daily Mail 2025-03-19 -

UK Spends £99 Million on Electric Cooking Initiatives in Africa and Asia
UK Spends £99 Million on Electric Cooking Initiatives in Africa and Asia British taxpayers are funding a £99 million initiative aimed at encouraging families in Africa and Asia to adopt electric cooking. The project, which falls under the UK’s foreign aid programme, is designed to improve health and environmental conditions by reducing reliance on firewood and charcoal, both of which contribute to pollution. More than £55 million has already been spent on the Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS) project, and the Foreign Office recently approved nearly doubling its budget, extending its operation until the end of the decade. The majority of this funding is allocated to Loughborough University, which is conducting extensive research on clean cooking solutions. By 2030, the university is expected to produce 650 reports on the subject. As part of its efforts, researchers have also developed 'eCookbooks' to guide families in preparing traditional meals with electric appliances and created a 'multi-dimensional framework to assess and monitor gender equality, equity, and women's empowerment.' Additionally, the programme includes the distribution of 20,000 electric pressure cookers in Tanzania and Uganda, with a smaller number of air fryers being handed out in other countries. However, the initiative has faced criticism from some quarters, with concerns being raised about the use of taxpayer money on foreign aid projects that may not deliver tangible benefits. Joanna Marchong, Investigations Campaign Manager at the TaxPayers' Alliance, expressed her concerns, stating, "Taxpayers will be furious at the frittering away of their cash on frivolous foreign aid projects. Too many of these costly schemes look like little more than virtue-signalling exercises rather than genuine humanitarian assistance which saves lives." The future of the MECS project is now uncertain following a recent announcement by Sir Keir Starmer that the UK’s aid budget will be reduced to accommodate increased defence spending. A spokesperson from the Foreign Office commented, "The UK is taking a rigorous approach to ensure all ODA [Official Development Assistance] delivers value for money for the taxpayer. Detailed decisions on how the ODA budget will be used will be worked through as part of the ongoing Spending Review." Loughborough University, which remains at the forefront of the initiative, responded to the potential budget cuts, saying, "The university remains committed to the MECS project. At this stage, we have no information on whether cuts to UK Official Development Assistance will affect our programme moving forward." With the debate over foreign aid spending continuing, the programme’s long-term viability remains uncertain. However, for now, the UK government maintains its commitment to promoting clean cooking in developing countries. Based on a report by Daily Mail 2025-03-19
