I know Idris Elba was involved in a similar project in Sierra Leone, but it hasn't yet been exposed as a grift (Nor has there been any recent news)

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-68573737

Hollywood actor Idris Elba has a "big dream" for Sierra Leone, the West African nation where his father was born - to regenerate a beautiful island off its coast and turn it into an eco-friendly "smart city".

"Originally we went there thinking how could we bring tourism to the most incredible 19 miles of beachfront," the British star told the BBC about Sherbro Island.

But as the idea was explored, a more innovative plan came into play - to bring in partners and seriously develop the area in a sustainable, eco way. The project now also intends to bring wind-powered renewable electricity for the first time to Sierra Leone.
"It's a dream, you know, but I work in the make-believe business," says Elba, best known for his roles in Luther, the Wire and for playing Nelson Mandela. The 51-year-old actor wants to make people believe this can happen - and change perspectives.

"It's about being self-reliant, it's about bringing an economy that feeds itself and has growth potential. I'm very keen to reframe the way Africa is viewed… as an aid model.

"This opportunity is completely different."

Elba was brought into the project by his childhood friend Siaka Stevens, the grandson of a former Sierra Leonean president of the same name.

When you're surrounded by enemies, you have to pick a direction and commit to it.

It appears like Biden importing 18 million foreign nationals forced that issue to the top of the pile.

I just refuse to believe that Lindsey Graham is the least gay and sleazy pro-Trump Republican in South Carolina and all the stickers in the world will not change my mind.

another block on birth right citizenship

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/07/10/judge-blocks-trump-birthright-citizenship/84533181007/

CONCORD, New Hampshire − A federal judge again barred President Donald Trump's administration from enforcing his executive order limiting birthright citizenship nationwide after the Supreme Court restricted the ability of judges to block his policies using nationwide injunctions.

U.S. District Judge Joseph Laplante in Concord, New Hampshire, made the ruling July 10 after immigrant rights advocates implored him to grant class action status to a lawsuit they filed seeking to represent any babies whose citizenship status would be threatened by implementation of Trump's directive.

Laplante agreed the plaintiffs could proceed as a class, allowing him to issue a fresh judicial order blocking implementation of the Republican president's policy nationally.
The question of whether to issue an injunction was "not a close call," he said, noting children could be deprived of U.S. citizenship if Trump's order took effect.

"That’s irreparable harm, citizenship alone," he said. "It is the greatest privilege that exists in the world.”

The judge said he would stay his ruling for a few days to allow the Trump administration to appeal and would issue a written decision by the end of the day.

The American Civil Liberties Union and others filed the suit just hours after the Supreme Court on June 27 issued a 6-3 ruling, powered by its conservative majority, that narrowed three nationwide injunctions issued by judges in separate challenges to Trump's directive.

The suit was filed on behalf of non-U.S. citizens living in the United States whose babies might be affected.

Under the Supreme Court's decision, Trump's executive order would take effect on July 27.

Looking to seize upon an exception in the Supreme Court's ruling, the lawyers for the plaintiffs argued that the decision allows judges to continue to block Trump policies on a nationwide basis in class action lawsuits.

The three judges who issued nationwide injunctions found that Trump's directive likely violates citizenship language in the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment. The amendment states that all "persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside."

The Justice Department has argued that Trump's order conforms with the Constitution and has asked Laplante to find that the plaintiffs cannot sue as a class.

The Supreme Court's ruling did not address the legal merits of Trump's order, which the Republican president issued as part of his hardline immigration agenda on his first day back in office in January.

Trump's order directs federal agencies to refuse to recognize the citizenship of U.S.-born children who do not have at least one parent who is an American citizen or lawful permanent resident, also known as a "green card" holder.

Laplante, an appointee of Republican President George W. Bush, ruled Trump's order contradicted the 14th Amendment and a 1898 Supreme Court ruling interpreting it.

In that case, United States v. Wong Kim Ark, the Supreme Court interpreted that amendment as recognizing the right to birthright citizenship regardless of the immigration status of a baby's parents.

More than 150,000 newborns would be denied citizenship annually if it takes effect nationally, according to Democratic-led states and immigrant rights advocates who have challenged it.

I'm not American but can you plead the 5th before what is just a investigation?

Yes, the 5th is one of the few amendments that still has a lot of power. There are ways around it, but it is extremely difficult on the government's part.

And doesn't that really incriminate him, that he won't answer a single question under oath about Biden's health or his actions during that time?

Legally, pleading the 5th can't be used against you. Practically, it is showing Congress there is smoke and it could motivate then to pry deeper.

Every time I go to Walmart and see the flood of brown people I always feel an existential dread of the future of the country. I want to live in America where I was born and raised, not Brazil, Haiti, or a muttified brown shithole...

I shouldn't have to deal with this. We shouldn't have to deal with this. God forbid White people want to live with each other in their own nation. I just hope that the new hundreds of billions of dollars injected into ICE really saves our nation from it's potential grim future

I feel the same way my dude. The rural small town Walmarts used to be a joke now they feel like a sense of joy.
Unfortunately the future of America is a muttified shithole and boomers will try to gaslight the millenials into believing that it still isnt that and that if it is then its a good thing because white peope are nust inherently bad.
My boomer hate is growing exponentially every single day.

HHH is on a small hiatus.


Of course, he posted this in the Gloat Chamber instead of here.

Let's call it what it is, HHH is right like a broken clock, Trumps compromised and were just a vassal of Israel because of boomer programming and im realizing the truth.

It's an official inquiry so it is an investigation. He is under caution. He absolutely has the right to take the fifth.

And doesn't that really incriminate him

No. The invocation of your rights cannot ever be used as a negative inference. It would be like a cop making a negative inference and using that negative inference as probable cause because when he asked to search your house you demanded to see a warrant.

Obviously it makes him look like a piece of shit, but legally there's no consequences for taking the fifth, as intended. If Congress wants what he has to say that bad, they will have to give him immunity, which will force him to answer those questions, because you cannot take the fifth to prevent self incrimination if you are not at risk of prosecution. It happens in criminal cases all the time. We'll see what happens.

I think Congress should start impeaching some judges to get the judicial branch back in line.

Vance is Peter Thiel's boy. So, yeah. Vance doesn't exist without Thiel.

Well now the EO has to go up the chains again, but this time they'll have to tackle birthright citizenship.

I’m not necessarily thrilled about his doctor being forced to testify tbh. It could have a lot of really bad implications in the future. Doctor / Patient confidentiality is sacrosanct imo. That said, POTUS actions can affect billions of people.

I’m not sure what the solution is. Biden was physically and mentally unable to fulfill his role, it wasn’t a secret. The public could see it and everyone around him knew it. Every journo lied about it. The issue wasn’t the doctor, it’s that the entire state apparatus facilitated a puppet ruler with the help of the media and is still lying about it.

That's not gonna happen with the number of congresscritters who either side with the judges or are afraid they will lose reelection next year.

SCOTUS: Lower courts need to quit overreaching on their authority related to executive orders.

Lower Court Judges: We'll do it anyways.

At some point there needs to be a Rubicon moment in this nation's history where we quit acting like the entire judiciary is an impartial arbiter of the law and tell judges to fuck off.

Exactly. The doctor isn’t the problem. It’s the pussies who refused to use the 25th amendment.

If ever there was an issue that might justify a nationwide injunction while it's worked out in the courts I think birthright citizenship qualifies. The consequences are too great for too many people.

I don't think anyone in the administration expects to actually win this one. The language is just too plain and will require a constitutional amendment to undo. It won't ever happen though since those "citizens" in question would be allowed a vote.
