Considering most of the "violations" you have 'uncovered" are wild ass guesses at best, I guess I am guilty. You have let your inner loon fly free.

Corporate bankruptcies surged in 2025, rivaling levels not seen since the immediate aftermath of the Great Recession, as import-dependent businesses absorbed the highest tariffs in decades. At least 717 companies filed for bankruptcy through November, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. That’s roughly 14 percent more than the same 11 months of 2024, and the highest tally since 2010.

As usual, projection is one of the two specialties of Trump and his minions. But the history, when it is written, will simply point out in one sentence there were contests but nothing ever came of it. The real history is that by hook or by crook, you elected a man who was utterly senile The guy you elected is completely gone, a maniac who imagines himself saving Christianity from the hordes of who knows what and bringing peace throughout the world. He is a loon and you are either too stupid to see it or a silly liar. His latest bombing for peace in Nigeria is utterly ridiculous. Jabo is a small farming village in Nigeria, inhabited by both Christians and Muslims living peacefully together, no history of ISIS or any other terrorist activity. For some reason, the Trump administration is convinced that Muslim terrorists are killing Christians somewhere in Nigeria, so they bombed this village on Christmas Day, to the confusion of everyone who lives there. The 3 warheads did not detonate, but landed near their hospital, so they're pretty pissed about this mistake. The Nigerian military secured the site. Now the bumbling Trump administration is claiming they were aiming for some other place loaded with terrorists, but somehow ended up bombing this village. Nice job, guys. Trump was vehement about how Muslims are slaughtering Christians and that the attack, which he dubbed "a Christmas present" was OK'd by Nigerian President Bola Tinubu and was a big success. This little show - not remotely legal - seemed to be kind of a dud and cost us $30M. Nigeria has huge oil and rare ore reserves. Just a hint about what Peace President Trump's really lusting after. BTW, Russia has been killing Christians in Ukraine for over 3 years now, but Trump seems unbothered by that. Fear and confusion in Nigerian village hit in US strike, as locals say no history of ISIS in area By Nimi Princewill Dec 26, 2025 Abuja, Nigeria — A day after part of a missile fired by the United States hit their village, landing just meters from its only medical facility, the people of Jabo in northwestern Nigeria are in a state of shock and confusion. Suleiman Kagara, a resident of this quiet and predominantly Muslim farming community in Tambuwal district of Sokoto state, told CNN he heard a loud blast and saw flames as a projectile flew overhead at around 10 p.m. on Thursday. Soon after, it came crashing down, exploding on impact with the ground and sending the villagers fleeing in fear. “We couldn’t sleep last night,” Kagara said. “We’ve never seen anything like this before.” Kagara did not realize it at the time, but what he was witnessing was part of a US strike that President Donald Trump would later refer to as a “ Christmas present” for terrorists. Not long after the impact in Jabo, Trump declared on Thursday that the US had carried out a “powerful and deadly strike” against ISIS militants in the region, who he accused of “targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years, and even centuries!” According to US Africa Command, the operation neutralized multiple ISIS militants. But Trump’s explanation has left Kagara and his fellow villagers scratching their heads. While parts of Sokoto face challenges with banditry, kidnappings and attacks by armed groups including Lakurawa – which Nigeria classifies as a terrorist organization due to suspected affiliations with Islamic State – villagers say Jabo is not known for terrorist activity and that local Christians coexist peacefully with the Muslim majority. continues at cnn.com
