Leftist reacted with their usual explosive derangement earlier this month when rapper Ice Cube noted that he’d worked with the Trump campaign to implement what he calls his Contract with Black America). Though the NWA founder said he is not endorsing Trump for reelection, he took issue with leftists who shamed him for even talking to the Republican president.
...
“Facts: I put out the CWBA,” he tweeted. “Both parties contacted me. Dems said we’ll address the CWBA after the election. Trump campaign made some adjustments to their plan after talking to us about the CWBA.”

According to Fox News, the Trump campaign adjusted his “Platinum Plan” after conversing with Ice Cube:

Trump’s proposed “Platinum Plan” would include creating 3 million new jobs in the Black community over the next four years, increasing access to capital by nearly $500 billion and strengthening Trump’s immigration policies to protect American jobs, according to his website.

In his “Contract with Black America,” Ice Cube asks politicians for banking, police and prison reform, elimination of all Confederate statues, federal funding of “baby bonds” starting with $1,000 at birth, among other reforms to support the Black community in order to earn the “support of the Black vote.”

In an interview with Fox News Sunday, Ice Cube said he would not apologize for reaching across the political divide if that’s what it takes to get results.

“I told everybody that, you know, I’m not playing politics with this. I’m willing to meet with anybody who could bring this to life and make it a reality,” he said. “They listened, heard what I had to say, and pumped up their plan and presented it to the people on September, I believe, 24.”

After fans on Twitter accused Ice Cube of turning to the “Darkside” by communicating with Trump officials, the rapper was unapologetic.

“Every side is the Darkside for us here in America. They’re all the same until something changes for us. They all lie and they all cheat but we can’t afford not to negotiate with whoever is in power or our condition in this country will never change. Our justice is bipartisan,” he said.

I feel silly writing this, but God knows how it will turn out. Anyway, I had a little exchange of words on religion topic today, vague subject, and vague conversation. But from that little exchange, I figured out that my interlocutors have hazy idea about religion, both as a concept as well as a term. Nothing new, very common situation. I know that religion quite often gives us impression of something familiar, simple and well known. But knowledge of an ordinary man about religion does not exceed knowledge of a toddler about Newton's laws. Yes, when he stumbles, he falls down, not up, that is everything he knows. But what stands behind it can not be discovered by common sense and mere feeling. With religion is no difference.
...
In every science we must start from the alphabet. So, I will start with the shortest explanation of the crucial terms, without which we can not understand each other.

Religion - bond between man and God in the narrower sense of the term. It also implies bond between the believers, belonging to a community.

Faith - inner, spiritual part of that bond which includes feeling of God's presence in our life and our trust in him.

Revelation - the cornerstone the religion is built upon. Legacy came directly from God through the founder.

Tradition - chain of that legacy incorporated in a community, transmitted from generation to generation.

Traditions - our response to that legacy in terms of practice.

Confession - our response to that legacy in terms of understanding and interpreting. Often synonym for a creed or a community.

P.S. As you do not start a conversation about legislation without knowledge of terms as law, constitution and custom, you do not start conversation about religion without knowledge of these terms. Before you express your opinions and credences upon the subject, please ask. I am willing to give any explanation I can.

“CAN I CHANGE MY VOTE? ... The answer in most states is YES.” Hey Pres. King Kon, at least this time you are only mostly false instead of a total lie. You're getting better /s.
Here is the important part "A voter would be entirely out of luck if their mail ballot has already been tabulated prior to Election Day, or if they voted early in person. ... By that time, the vote would have become part of a pool of counted votes that are no longer linked to individual voters."

A right-wing television host in the US has spread misinformation about New Zealand's response to the Covid-19 pandemic, sharing an old clip of Jacinda Ardern and claiming the Government is "throwing people into quarantine camps".
...
Laura Ingraham, host of Fox News' The Ingraham Angle, made the claims on her show yesterday, joining a growing number of right-wing pundits overseas who are casting New Zealand's response as a threat to freedom.

"The American left and their media poodles have long held up New Zealand as the model for how to properly deal with a lot of things, including Covid, but anyone who loves freedom should take note because the Kiwis have a terrifying new response to rising Covid case numbers," Ingraham said.

"They're throwing people into quarantine camps."

"No leaving the camp until you're negative," Ingraham adds, putting on a faux New Zealand accent.

To support her claims, Ingraham shared an old Facebook live clip from Jacinda Ardern, originally posted over four months ago.

In that clip, Ardern answers questions from viewers and details the Government's policy of demanding that those in quarantine remain until they return a negative result and enforcing their continued stay if they refuse a test.

What Ingraham calls "quarantine camps" are in fact our managed isolation hotels.

The clip was shared by Ardern in June, after New Zealand had beaten community transmission for the first time on June 8.

It was used by Ingraham to suggest that the policy was new and in response to "rising Covid case numbers".
