I don't either. I am starting to think these people are making vidoes to get their engagement numbers up.
Some of them I believe because Trump is affecting their pockets immediately, so some of them may be telling them the truth, but still fuck them
Perfect time to do so.
I needed that laugh.
These are liberals pretending to be ex MAGA . Also I warned yall about that water headed Euro Honky Cenk. Yall all attacked me for calling him a racist. Well well once again I’m right as usual. Eat that shit with a spoon niggas!!!!!
Of course coons in the comments defending him
Thinking like RFK is why some doctors don't believe Black people feel pain and under manage pain. Its has saved us as a group to some degree when it comes to things like the opioid crisis, but individuals still suffer as a result.
Medical Apartheid
What would Poland know about black people where they have almost no black in their population pool? Who were their test subjects? Where did they poll? Blacks in United States? Blacks in Africa? While all black people share the same physiological genetics, our dietary compositions are different and can alter immune systems.
A study done in Poland means jackshit to his assertion but a double standard and racism.

Yup. Main reason why all my doctors are black. Fuck that
Even better if they went to Howard or Meharry. lol
MD/MPH would be a requirement if I had to get a non black doctor
"But it turns out Trump was NOT crazy for saying the FAA might have used discriminatory practices against non-minorities (Whites) that did lower standards."
Ok, so Cenk is continuing to chase some MAGA ad-share revenue. Got it.

ATennessee state senator told Newsweek Thursday that representatives were afraid to vote against immigration policies, even if they could be deemed unconstitutional.
Democratic state Senator Heidi Campbell, whose 20th District covers Nashville's inner suburbs, was speaking after state legislators approved a bill Tuesday that would make it illegal for lawmakers to vote for policies perceived as opposing President Donald Trump's agenda—namely sanctuary procedure.
The bill, which includes provision for a state-based immigration enforcement agency, was passed in the state's Republican-led Senate, despite opposition from both GOP and Democratic Party members.
"You don't have to spend a lot of time up at the legislature to see that we are living in a totalitarian state," Campbell told Newsweek.
Newsweek reached out to the bill's main sponsor, Republican Jack Johnson, as well as Republican Governor Bill Lee, for comment Thursday via email.
Why It Matters
Republican states have been keen to show their support for tougher immigration policies, during both the Biden administration and Trump's. Long-standing precedent set out by the U.S. Supreme Court leaves immigration enforcement in the hands of the federal government, however.
The move in Tennessee comes as nationwide polling has shown widespread support for immigration reform, from Republicans and Democrats, although there is some division over the process. Trump was elected following a campaign largely focused on illegal immigration and his plans to tackle it.

Senate Bill 6002 came as part of a special session of the Tennessee General Assembly, aimed at delivering Lee's plans to deal with illegal immigration in the state.
The legislation includes creating a Centralized Immigration Enforcement Division (CIEO), changes to state-issued IDs for legal immigrants, and launches incentives for local governments to participate in federal law enforcement under 287(g).
It also creates a Class E felony for local leaders or officials who adopt or maintain sanctuary policies meant to protect immigrants lacking permanent legal status from federal authorities, despite the status being banned already in the state.
Sanctuary policies, seen in cities like New York and Chicago, usually cover those without legal status but who have committed no other crimes. Trump has vowed to overturn these policies, with Republicans in Congress calling Democratic mayors to testify on February 11.
Under the Tennessee bill, any local leader who votes in favor of such a policy, and therefore against the White House administration's views, could be imprisoned for one to six years, and/or be fined up to $3,000.
During debate on the bill Tuesday, Republicans and Democrats alike spoke out against this provision, with Campbell among them. Speaking to Newsweek Thursday, she maintained her concerns that Republicans were bowing to pressure from MAGA members.
"Special sessions (historically for extraordinary issues) have been employed 7 times over the past 5 years to push through the governors agenda, and right now we are finishing a special session to push through a voucher scam and to establish an immigration division to support Trump's deportation plan - included in the legislation was a section that felonizes elected officials if they vote against Trump's immigration policy," she said.
"Everyone is aware that this is unconstitutional, but the super-majority voted for it anyway."
Before the special session, Lee said the idea was to strengthen public safety in the state, and references Trump's plans to include local agencies in carrying out immigration enforcement.
Tennessee is not alone in trying to enact its own immigration powers following the changeover in Washington, D.C., with Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis calling for a special session of his state assembly to discuss immigration policies, and GOP Texas Governor Greg Abbott signing a series of orders enabling enforcement at the local level in the Lone Star State.
What People Are Saying
Republican Tennessee state Senator Todd Gardenhire told fellow lawmakers Tuesday: "We are a Republic, and a Republic is one that we elect people to vote the way they feel like is best for the district, the city, county or the state. If we set the precedent of penalizing any elected official for voting their conscience, whether it's good or bad, then we set a dangerous precedent for the future."
Republican House Majority Leader William Lamberth, in a press release: "Our top priority remains the safety and interests of Tennesseans. We are grateful to partner with an administration that takes border security and the public safety of Americans seriously. We expect federal laws to be enforced and we look forward to passing common-sense legislation in a special session to assist those efforts."
Lee, in a press release: "Tennessee has a long track record of stepping up to secure our Nation's borders and strengthening public safety. President Trump has made it clear that states will play a major role in partnering with his Administration to enforce immigration laws and keep communities safe, and Tennessee is heeding the call."
Republican Tennessee Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson, in a statement to Newsweek: "Sanctuary policies directly contradict federal and state laws, creating legal gray areas that put public safety at risk. Worse, when elected officials vote to support these policies, they force law enforcement officers and other public employees into an impossible position: either violate federal law or risk their jobs. This bill ensures that no official can undermine our nation's immigration laws without accountability."
What Happens Next
The bill passed in the state Senate on Wednesday and now heads back to the House. If it passes there, it will head to Lee's desk.
Update 1/30/25, 5:27 p.m. ET: This article was updated with comment from Tennessee Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson.
