I cannot breathe . I have just heard that ICPC has ‘uncovered’ another fake agency in government. I need help. When do people resign for extreme wrong doing on their watch? Or is it part of a comprehensive worldview of the state as a criminal enterprise in which the agency function and requirement of agents to account has been thrown overboard, such that reckless impunity can be papered over by small scale propaganda. I laughed many years ago when then Harvard Economist and world Bank consultant Robert Klitgaard wrote the book Tropical Gangsters to describe African leaders. I thought it could never happen in Nigeria. Now I know better. But are we too defeated as a people to do something. As the singer Etc cooed: who will save us now.
I find the truth of men diminished by Biology being pushed to enter or stay in high office quite a paradox when I recall how I heard of the death of President Yaradua. I was visiting Kaduna and had gone to the home of Gen. Buhari to say hello that evening. While we were chatting his phone rang. He took the call. As it ended he said to me the caller just informed him of Yaradua’s death. Six years later it was his turn to enter the Villa with health challenges that handed power to people not voted for.
Given Nigeria’s rent economy and a values-fragile elite in a feeding bottle economy who can be manipulated by anybody with a feeding bottle in this prebendal culture the urgency of a constitutional amendment on age limits for executive office is an imperative of now.
Last month, I launched a diplomatic campaign to dismantle the ICC’s threat to our national sovereignty. The Trump Administration is sanctioning ICC President Tomoko Akane and Senior Trial Lawyer Abdoulaye Seye in our unwavering mission to protect Americans from this sham of a court. In honor of our Declaration of Independence, Americans will never be transported beyond seas to be tried for pretend offenses.
I am grateful to my family, my team, my volunteers, and every Floridian who powered us to this victory.
Now is the time for the Republican Party to unite. By working together, we can make Florida more affordable and defend the Florida Dream for our families, seniors, and young people.
My Democrat opponent would raise taxes, make life more expensive, and bring the Democrats’ radical left agenda to the Sunshine State – Florida cannot afford Liberal David Jolly.
David Jolly has lost before, and he will lose again on November 3. United, we will win the Governor’s mansion in 77 days and ensure that Florida remains the best state in this great country.
Serving as the White House Press Secretary over the past year and a half has been the honor and adventure of a lifetime. I am incredibly grateful to President Trump for granting me so many extraordinary opportunities, such as working in the West Wing and spending countless hours in the Oval Office, flying around the world and meeting foreign leaders, and traveling across our beautiful country and meeting Americans from all walks of life.
Most of all, I am thankful to the President for entrusting me with the distinct privilege of speaking on his behalf at the White House podium. I have spoken with great pride about the many historic accomplishments of this Administration, and I have relished holding the liberal media accountable and ensuring the American people hear the truth about President Trump’s successes.
Being a mother and welcoming a new baby while working in one of the most demanding jobs in the world has been the most rewarding yet challenging season of my life, to say the least. The truth is since returning to the White House after the birth of my daughter, I have felt in my heart that I cannot be the best mom my two young children deserve while devoting the constant time, energy, and attention required of the White House Press Secretary — and that is why I have ultimately made the bittersweet decision to depart the White House and embark on a new chapter in my life.
President Trump has asked me to continue serving as a top advisor to him on the outside, and I will always remain a vocal advocate for MAGA and the Republican Party.
Our country is facing an existential threat from an increasingly extremist Democrat Party that seeks to destroy everything great about America, and I believe it is incumbent upon all of us who care about this country to fight back against that threat. My fight is entering a new phase, but it is far from over.
Thank you again to the President, the First Lady, and the entire Trump family for your kindness and generosity over the years. Thank you to our amazing Chief of Staff Susie Wiles for empowering me since the day she hired me on the campaign, and to the President’s cabinet, my staff, colleagues, and friends at the White House who work so hard on behalf of our nation. It has been a privilege to serve alongside so many accomplished and impressive people, and I look forward to cheering them on over the next two and a half years.
And of course, thank you most especially to my loving and supportive husband and family for the sacrifices they made for me to serve in this role. ♥️🇺🇸
It may not bother some people, but the continued detention of @elrufai is not about justice; it is political vendetta. It is easy to look the other way because he is not your headache, and perhaps because you don’t consider him a nice person. But that is exactly how oppression works, it becomes acceptable when the victim is someone we dislike. Once injustice is tolerated against one person, it becomes easier to use it against everyone else. #FreeElRufaiNow
American citizenship is not for sale.
But elaborate birth tourism rings are profiting off the exploitation of America's laws- coaching foreigners to defraud the U.S. visa system, arranging travel and housing, and even forging documents, all to enable foreign nationals to obtain citizenship for their children.
The State Department established a Birth Tourism Prevention Task Force to review the activity of visa holders, dismantle illegal birth tourism networks, and put an end to this heinous abuse of our nation's laws. In just one month, the Birth Tourism Prevention Task Force has taken action to revoke more than 600 visas from foreign nationals across the globe and will continue to safeguard our nation from this abuse.
The State Department will use all available tools to dismantle birth tourism networks and defend the integrity of U.S. citizenship.
