My hands are shaking writing this.
A small Japanese flag, the size of a paperback book, tied to the bumper of a city bus on a Japanese national holiday in 2026.
And online, someone is calling it "discriminatory."
A flag.
A bus.
A national holiday.
In Japan.
In Paris, the tricolor covers every boulevard on July 14. Nobody calls it discriminatory.
In Texas, every porch flies the Stars and Stripes on July 4. Nobody calls it discriminatory.
In London, the Union Jack drapes Buckingham Palace for the King. Nobody calls it discriminatory.
Only here.
Only our flag.
Only on our own holidays, on our own buses, on our own quiet streets.
I keep asking how we got here.
I do not have an answer.
That flag is not too loud.
The shame trying to silence it is.
"I will be increasing Tariffs charged to the European Union for Cars and Trucks coming into the United States. The Tariff will be increased to 25%. It is fully understood and agreed that, if they produce Cars and Trucks in U.S.A. Plants, there will be NO TARIFF." - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸
They're preparing you for a female Pope, to unite Africa, Europe, and Islam. I wish this globalist mental disturbance would come to an end. The Church has been captured by its enemies.
President Donald Trump announced a new national initiative urging citizens to dedicate time weekly to prayer and reflection. The push asks people to pause from daily noise, seek God, and focus on faith and humility. This comes at a time when many feel the country is divided and distracted. Leaders see it as a simple step toward healing and strength for families and communities.
The message reaches deep into Black churches and households where prayer has long served as a source of resilience and hope. Many see this as a reminder that turning hearts back to God can bring restoration. Believers across the nation are responding with quiet commitment rather than loud debate. This effort highlights the power of collective faith to lift people even when times feel heavy.
When I was an Anglican priest, I would meet Catholic priests who called me “Father” and said things like, “I’m praying for your priestly ministry.”
This reinforced for me that I was approved by Catholic clergy and was therefore “valid”. It did terrible damage to my soul and it was very uncharitable of them - although they didn’t intend it. They confirmed me in my error.
This is why I am against fake ecumenism. It set me back.
The first Catholic priest who ever challenged me, saying I wasn’t a priest and that I should become a Catholic, was Msgr James Conley, who told me so in a friendly but firm way at a cafe in Rome by St Anne’s Gate in 2006. He’s now Bishop Conley of Lincoln Nebraska. Thank you, @bishop_conley
My opinion is that Pope Leo (a cradle Catholic) does not fully understand how he is reinforcing Anglican errors by assuming kindness and encouraging their sacerdotal acts. The Anglicans interpret it as “full approval and 99% Full Communion.”
Sometimes Protestants just need to be told “Let’s be one. True unity is in truth and communion. Protestantism is lacking and wrong. It’s time to become fully Catholic.”
Do you agree?
Keep crying...
Nigeria will strengthen it's relations with China, Russia, North-Korea and Iran. U can't tell us as a sovereign country who to relate with.
No serious country will partner with ur pedophile and child-rapist country after witnessing how you directly supported the genocidal killing of 700,000 innocent muslim Palestinians uprovoked.
The only thing ur government knows how to do is to demonize, divide, invade, destroy, kill, steal, and displace millions of innocent muslims around the world like you did in Iraq, Syria, Lybia, Afghanistan, Somalia, Iran...
THE CALIPHATE’S AMBASSADOR TO BEIJING: Facilitating Tinubu’s Pivot to the East
Tinubu just sent Lt. Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau to China. Look at who this man is:
▪️ Fulani aristocrat from the Dambazawa clan of Kano — bloodline traces straight to the 1804 Sokoto jihad. Holds the title Baraden Kano.
▪️ Chief of Army Staff 2008–2010, when Boko Haram metastasized.
▪️ Buhari’s 2015 campaign security chief. Then Interior Minister 2015–2019 — borders, immigration, prisons — through the years the military was purged of Christian officers, Christian villages were disarmed, and the Middle Belt turned red.
▪️ Those were also the years jihadis poured south by the thousands — from Libya after Gaddafi fell, from Mali, from Burkina Faso, from the collapsing Sahel — through Nigeria’s wide-open northern borders. The borders his ministry was supposed to control. They didn’t slip in. They walked in.
▪️ Buhari fired him in 2019 after a presidential panel reportedly found him guilty of “abuse of office” in the Maina pension scandal. Punch reported he held a Dubai strategy session with Maina — a federal fugitive later convicted of laundering stolen pension money through Dubai and U.S. real estate.
▪️ The Oodua Peoples Congress publicly accused him of turning the Boko Haram war into “an ATM” and buying houses in Abuja, Dubai, and the U.S. with blood money. He never sued. Never denied it. Never asked EFCC to clear his name.
▪️ Punch said “unexplained wealth.” Never investigated.
▪️ His Interior Ministry oversaw borders while Chinese illegal miners flooded Zamfara’s gold belt — paying jihadi bandits for security access, trading gold for arms, fueling the killings. Nigeria’s own Mines Minister said “Nigerians in high positions of authority” were in on it. Nobody named names. They never had to.
Now look at the timing:
▪️ Oct 31, 2025 — Trump designates Nigeria CPC.
▪️ Nov 1 — Trump threatens military action.
▪️ Dec 4 — Tinubu sends Dambazau to the Senate for Beijing.
▪️ Dec 17 — Ribadu signs the $9 million DCI lobbying contract.
▪️ Mar 6, 2026 — Dambazau formally posted to China.
I told the congressional briefing this last week: U.S. sanctions alone will not bring Tinubu to heel. They will cause him to pivot east.
Dambazau is the proof. This posting was finalized in the five weeks between Trump’s threat and the Senate confirmation. It’s not diplomacy. It’s the exit ramp.
A Fulani general who knows the Dubai networks. Who knows the Chinese mining godfathers. Who let the borders sit open while the Sahel emptied into Nigeria. Who has every personal reason to want this regime to survive.
The man who ran the borders while jihadis streamed in and Chinese miners armed the bandits is now Tinubu’s man in Beijing.
That’s not coincidence. That’s the plan.
Rise and Shine.

@_pegasus1@DefenseNigeria Ton pays a plus besoin de sa propre armée que quiconque actuellement. C’est un fait. Lorsque Boko Haram terrorise tes compatriotes chretiens et neutralise des généraux de ton armée, la nécessité d'actions concretes devrait impliquer votre cas , en priorité.
It’s non of our business, let the Alliance of Sahel send their troops to Mali and fight their fight. Dumb mfs zombies military men who knows nothing about how to run government think it easy. Their bloc should send their troops and the people who were supporting them in Nigeria when they carried out the coup should help them now. We just need to control our borders, build the fucking fence…
Nigeria has the largest air force in the region. It foiled a coup a Benin and could equally play an important role in the Sahel by providing its air force assets for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and precision strikes. We don't want a vast, ungoverned sanctuary for terrorist groups like JNIM in West Africa. The regional containment of this group is essential for Nigeria's survival.
There is no way words can describe today’s roadshow in Howrah. Rather, the roadshow that began in Howrah and ended in Kolkata, across the iconic Howrah Bridge…
The desire for change is reflecting in every part of West Bengal.
TMC’s sins are going to be punished.
BJP is West Bengal’s choice.

I am writing to formally draw your attention to the highly unprofessional and divisive conduct of Lt. E.S Bot, who is currently serving as a Chaplain with the 35 Artillery Brigade in Maiduguri.
It has become evident that Lt. E.S Bot has crossed the redline and the bounds of professional military conduct by engaging in religious bigotry and blasphemy. Such behavior is not only a violation of military discipline but also a direct threat to the unity of the armed forces.
The Nigerian Army is a symbol of national unity. Allowing religious bigots to remain within the ranks especially in influential positions like the Chaplaincy risks tarnishing the image of the military and sowing seeds of division among personnel. A professional military must remain strictly neutral and secular in its operations to maintain the trust of a diverse population.
We call on the military high command, as a matter of urgency to:
1. Investigate the recent blasphemous statements made by Lt. E.S Bot.
2. Hold him accountable for his actions in accordance with the Armed Forces Act.
3. Reinforce the standard of neutrality expected of all officers to prevent future occurrences.
Failure to address this immediately could undermine the morale and unity of our troops. A stitch in time saves nine.
@GiorgiaMeloni Depuis que Rome a perdu son hégémonie, Rome peine à se faire une place stratégique sur l’echequier mondiale. Tu sembles évoquer une ère révolue. Normalement , vous devriez a l’heure actuelle rester une grande puissance n’est ce pas ?
Il #21aprile è il giorno in cui Roma celebra la propria nascita, una storia millenaria che continua ancora oggi a parlare al mondo attraverso la forza della sua identità.
Roma è stata la culla della civiltà occidentale, è un museo a cielo aperto, è cultura e memoria, un patrimonio che continua ispirare il presente. È la Capitale della nostra meravigliosa Italia.
Buon Natale di Roma, Città Eterna.
I was born in 1961 IN AMERICA.
So my name is William Michael Holte, not Muhammad, Mohamed, Kwame, Kofi or Bakari.
I’m not African-American, I’m American.
I’m not a black American, I’m American.
My loyalty belongs to America, not to any fake African identity.
My history is American history, not African history.
My colors are red, white, and blue - not red, black, and green.
My anthem is the Star-Spangled Banner, not the Black National Anthem.
My flag is the Stars and Stripes, not the African Union banner.
My symbol is the bald eagle, not the Black Power fist or the letters "BLM."
I celebrate Christmas, not Kwanzaa.
I celebrate Independence Day, not Juneteenth.
I went to a white Catholic college, not an HBCU.
I got ahead through hard work and good education, not DEI and Affirmative Action.
In school, I recited The Pledge of Allegiance TO AMERICA.
I support The U.S. Constitution, not the weaponization of it against American citizens.
My future is tied to America’s success, not to racist democrat takeover policies.
And my president is Donald J Trump, not anybody else.
Who's with me on this?
Here is the difference between Christianity ✝️ and Islam.☪️
A Muslim who goes to the mosque regularly, prays five times daily, fasts during Ramadan, reads the Quran and even memorizes it, follows all the Islamic rituals, can still end up as a terrorist.
A Christian who attends church regularly, prays without ceasing, fasts often, reads the Bible, and follows all the commandments will never become a terrorist. It is highly impossible.❌
Why?
The reason is the God behind each faith. You cannot be that close to God and remain the same. Something must change in you, your heart will be completely transformed. That is the beauty of Christianity.✝️
@ShaykhAzhar Lorsque les centurions venaient capturer Jesus , Pierre a voulu manifester de la résistance en arrachant l'oreille d’un soldat romain. Jesus dans sa magnanimité, a remis cette oreille en place. Jesus n’a pas besoin qu’on se batte pour lui. Mahomet , si !
@ConstantPolaris Existe il pas des chretiens aussi au moyen-orient ? Pourquoi vouloir faire de la partition selective lorsqu’il s’agit de se tenir aux chevets des populations chrétiennes martyrisées de par le monde ? La vie des chretiens nigerians vaut plus que celle de ceux du Moyen-Orient ?
I am a Catholic, but I must say that this Pope is moving funny to me.
There is a whole Christian genocide going on in Nigeria where he once lived.
But this man is more focused on the war in Iran and its politics.
Hello Sir, there is a war in Nigeria and Africa too, and Christians are victims.
He is the Pope of Christians first before anything else.
And the welfare of Christians especially those who are being persecuted should be his priority.
But Christians were massacred during Easter in Nigeria for their faith and I did not see any strong condemnation or reaction from the Pope.
Instead the Pope is consistently focused on the middle East and Donald Trump's and Isreals war with Terrorists.
I sincerely do not understand this Pope.
It is Silence in the face of evil that makes evil multiply.
What exactly does he want the world to do with terrorists who believe their destiny is to kill every unbeliever and take over the world?
I hope that this Pope gets his priorities right.
@egi_nupe Des personnes qui manifestent leur devotion à un dieu de paix et d’amour mais qui étrangement arborent des outils de destruction. Quel paradoxe ! 🙄
This is nuanced actually.
You just experienced church as it is done in the UK by a quiet speaking preacher.
In the UK there are Churches with energetic preachers as the experience will be different.
Meanwhile,
There is Africa and how church is done in Africa. Africans are energetic and we love to out that into play in the service f God.
None of these variety of experiences invalidates the power of God or makes one more richer or less richer what matter is that God is worshipped in Soirit and in truth
God loves variety.
Just go to where you get the best of God's word and theat which resonantes with your persona.
The God who spoke in the midst of thunders and firestorms also spoke in the still small voice.
The church I attend here in the UK:
Service starts at 10AM. Ends at 11AM. Exactly.
No offertory. Not even once. If you wish to give, do so secretly after service.
The pastor speaks like he is having a conversation with you.
I sat there the first time genuinely waiting for the part where things pick up...like speaking in tongues, dancing during praise, loud clapping to break chains etc.
The pastor even prayed for people individually.
Nobody fell.
I'm still not sure if I've been delivered or if I'm missing something. 😭🚶🏾♀️
