45th President of the United States of America
I am allocating $2.96 BILLION in Emergency Solutions Grants to support homeless Americans and those at risk of becoming homeless because of job or wage loss, or illness due to COVID-19. We are taking care of our Nation’s most vulnerable citizens.

Donald J. Trump tweeted that "Relief is on the way to Utah! I’m proud to send $187.18M in CARES Act funding to Utah Transit Authority(RideUTA). This money will keep people moving and support a swift and smooth economic recovery for the GREAT people of Utah!"
 then he Thanks @SecretaryCarson!


Ben Carson. Detroit native. Husband. Father. Grandfather. Retired neurosurgeon. 17th Secretary of @HUDgov
Ben Carson (Secretary)tweeted "This additional $2.96 billion in ESG grants to help communities serve the homeless and provide shelter is part of the real Donald Trump Administration’s commitment to helping all Americans impacted by the coronavirus outbreak.

Our most vulnerable need help and need protection, especially due to the impact of Coronavirus, and HUDgov is committed to providing them with the shelter and resources they need to prevent homelessness and rapidly rehouse homeless individuals.

Housing and Urban Development (HUDgov) awarded ~$3 billion in relief funds to help homeless populations hurt by the coronavirus pandemic. These funds will help build and operate emergency shelters, provide hotel vouchers for the homeless, and provide essential services."

Donald Trump: China has violated its promises to us and to the world.

May 29, 2020 0
Donald Trump
"China raided our factories, offshored our jobs, gutted our industries, stole our intellectual property, and violated their commitments under the World Trade Organization."

"China's cover-up of the Wuhan virus allowed the disease to spread all over the world, instigating a global pandemic that has cost more than 100,000 American lives and over a million lives worldwide."
China protected itself against the Coronavirus while exposing the rest of the world—at immense cost of human life.

We are terminating our relationship with the World Health Organization, which acts at the behest of China.

Over and over, China has violated its promises to us and to the world.

We want a constructive relationship with China—but America's national interests come first.

"For years, the government of China has conducted illicit espionage to steal our industrial secrets."

President @realDonaldTrump
 is dismantling China’s ability to use graduate students to steal intellectual property and technology from the United States.

Donald Trump: New papers make CLEAR that the Obama Administration SPIED, in an unprecedented manner

May 27, 2020 0

Due to the shortcomings of Obamacare, too many Medicare patients have struggled with high costs and surprise bills for urgently needed insulin prescriptions.

That changes with today's announcement!
We are acting as a police force, not the fighting force that we are, in Afghanistan. After 19 years, it is time for them to police their own Country. Bring our soldiers back home but closely watch what is going on and strike with a thunder like never before, if necessary!
OBAMAGATE MAKES WATERGATE LOOK LIKE SMALL POTATOES!



New papers make CLEAR that the Obama Administration SPIED, in an unprecedented manner, on the Trump Campaign and beyond, and even on the United States Senate. Nobody would ever have believed that this level of illegality and corruption would be taking place in our beautiful USA!

VIDEO: White police officer killed black man in america

May 26, 2020 0
The world yesterday witnessed another brutal and senseless killing of a young black man at the hands of a racist white police officer in Donald Trump's America. George Floyd the victim was suspected to be involved in a non-violent forgery incident and was in his car when the police officers accosted him. He obeyed them and alighted from his car.

We don't know what followed but the eight minutes we have seen tell the story of a murder most vile. This is one racist murder too many that the world cannot afford to be silent on. A white officer who swore to uphold the law knelt on the neck of this black man till he died even as the late George begged for his life.

Some onlookers pleaded with the officers to spare his life and check his pulse but they refused and after he had been murdered he was tossed onto a stretcher and that was it. Another life wasted by a man who has no power to create life.
I am so broken by this incident. Just watching this man plead for his life, beg that he was dying, plead that he couldn't breathe, call for his Mum.

This is heartbreaking. This is Donald Trump's America where white police officers have been licensed to kill black men like chicken. America has always witnessed the death of black men at the hands of the police but this has increased in Donald Trump's America.

The same racist Donald Trump someNigerian Pastors have been praising as the defender of Christianity because he is urging the reopening of churches against the advice of all experts. Business has to continue as usual with some of these Pastors and obviously he is playing to his evangelical base in making this nonsensical call. Come what may this is one racist murder that won't go away easily. The world might just have woken up.

- The reality TV star's donations will go into providing thousands of masks,
test kits and other protective gear needed by health professionals Twenty-two-year-old American billionaire and cosmetics mogul Kylie Jenner has donated a huge amount of cash to help combat the coronavirus pandemic.

The mother of one is said to have donated N366m to go towards helping health workers treating patients with coronavirus. According to TMZ, the reality TV star's donations will go into providing thousands of masks, test kits and other protective gear needed by health professionals.

Doctor Thais Aliabadi, who helped in the delivery of Stormi (Kylie's child) thanked Jenner for the generous gesture saying the TV star had made her wish come true. "I am speechless, my eyes are filled with tears of joy and my heart is overwhelmed with gratitude. I made a wish to the universe to gather protective masks for our brave healthcare workers and today my dream came true," the doctor said.
The health worker said she had never felt more blessed to be a doctor, praising Kylie by saying the world is a better place with people like her in it.

The United Kingdom on Tuesday, January 7, issued a travel advisory to its citizens penciling at least 18 Nigerian states to either avoid totally or only visit when it is really necessary.

Iran government has offered $80million bounty for Donald Trump's head after the death of its general, Qasem Soleimani

- Iran offers $80million bounty for Donald Trump's head after death of general

- Soleimani was killed in airstrike by the American soldiers

- Trump warned on Sunday, January 5, that the US would strike back harder against Iran if it retaliated A report by

Daily Mail indicated that an $80million bounty has been placed on the US president, Donald Trump's head in Iran over the assassination of its general, Qasem Soleimani.

Legit.ng gathered that Iran also threatened that it would attack the White House in response to the president's warning that any strike on American interests in the region ouldl bring massive retaliation.
According to the report, an organiser for a funeral procession for General Qassem Soleimani called on all Iranians to donate $1 each 'in order to gather an $80million bounty on President Trump's head.'

The organizer made the remarks during the procession in Mashad.

Iran had also announced that it would no longer abide by any of the limits of its 2015 nuclear deal.
The late Iranian general, Qasem Soleimani


The late Iranian general, Qasem Soleimani Source: UGC A statement issued by Iranian president, Hassan Rouhani's administration, said the country would not observe limitations on its enrichment, the amount of stockpiled enriched uranium as well as research and development in its nuclear activities.
It, however, did not elaborate on what levels it would immediately reach in its programme. It would be recalled that earlier on Sunday, January 5, the Iraqi parliament voted for US troops to be expelled from the country.
The vote would 'obligate the government to work towards ending the presence of all foreign troops on Iraqi soil,' the country's media office stated. Iranian MP Abolfazl Abutorabi also threatened to launch an attack on American soil in retaliation.

"We can attack the White House itself, we can respond to them on the American soil.
We have the power, and God willing we will respond in an appropriate time,' Abutorabi said, according to the Iranian Labour News Agency.

Abutorabi went on to say that, "this is a declaration of war, which means if you hesitate you lose. When someone declares war do you want to respond to the bullets with flowers? They will shoot you in the head." Abutorabi's threat was made during an open session of parliament in Tehran just days after Iranian military Soleimani was killed in a drone strike on Friday at Baghdad airport.

Soleimani was the architect of Tehran's overseas clandestine and military operations as head of the revolutionary guards' Quds Force. Donald Trump had earlier warned that the US would 'strike back' harder at Iran if it retaliates against over the killing of military leader Qasem Soleimani.

He said in a tweet that: "These media posts will serve as notification to the United States Congress that should Iran strike any U.S. person or target, the United States will quickly & fully strike back, and perhaps in a disproportionate manner."
