4 Gambian Diplomats Expelled From US: As Ghana Floats Giving Diplomatic Passports To Male Entertainers With Problematic Histories
Tuesday, 8 August 2023 By: TB Obwoge Apparently people don't seem to understand what being a diplomat means, nor do they care. Having a diplomatic passport is not something that should be floated lightly. A former French ambassador to Ghana made the moronic comment about giving diplomatic passports to Ghanian male artists who have acted like petulant children and degraded women.

For Women's History Month, President Blasts the Rest of the World
March 11th (Santa Rosa, CA) – March is Women’s History Month, which started right here in Santa Rosa as just a single week in 1978. By 1980, the week became recognized at the federal level before expanding to the whole month in 1987. It was a great surprise and honor, then, that the recently installed President of the United States requested to give a speech before the Commission on the Status of Women—which founded and administered the original celebratory week—to commemorate this year’s observances.

Two Birds, One Stone
Before I begin this article, I must emphasize a few things. One, this is not a defense, nor condemnation of the actions these sailors have taken. Two, I in no way have any knowledge of their cases beyond what is publicly available. Three, this article is not intended to be your sole source of information on this case. It is but a start for more critical thinking about these cases, and others like it.

Political Discussion?
Five or ten years ago I didn't mind talking about government or politics with other people. I used to write articles about how as an American it was our duty to vote. I would send my vote through the mail when I knew enough to do so. Then I became a Felon in 2018 and although I can go through the red-tape process of re-instating my voting privilege, I haven't done so since I was released from jail five years ago. My opinion on voting changed. I'm just not sure that I trust the voting system. It's not because Biden and Trump say whatever they say. It's because logically thinking, I see too many ways for the current voting system to make mistakes. That's not democracy then. That's just a flawed veil to make it seem like the people's opinions matter, when in reality, there is no way to know for certain what the masses really want.
Shanon NormanPublished 8 months ago in The SwampAliens really exist? Do they come in peace or have they already arrived?
David Grush, Ryan Graves, and David Fravor are at the centre of a new controversy regarding UFOs, or UAPs to be precise. Under oath, the three veterans stated, in front of the Congress, that not only does the USA government know a lot about extraterrestrial technologies, but it is also in possession of entire spaceships and non-human biological entities. The three veterans demanded from the government more transparency and better communication about this situation with American citizens, yet none of the vaguely mentioned reports have been made public (even though the hearing was made public precisely with the aim of being more transparent).
