Many years ago, my dad got a call from my school. I was in Grade 5, and the principal said it was urgent. My dad was busy with work, but he rushed over.
When he arrived, they told him I had “attacked” another student. My dad looked surprised but stayed calm…..
Yeah he’s a joke on this one especially the way he distanced himself from the struggle of his own people. But now he wants to perform for his people. Snap out of it.

BREAKING: Donald Trump attempts a desperate Hail Mary pass to save himself from financial ruin and begs Judge Arthur Engoran to delay the enforcement of his $355 million fine for one month.
In a pathetic letter to the judge, Trump accused Attorney General Letitia James of an “unseemly rush” to enforce the historic judgement because she submitted a proposal to judge for signature just days after the ruling.
Of course, there is nothing actually “unseemly” about wanting to enforce a ruling. Letitits James is just doing her job.
As it stands, Trump has only 30 days from when a judgement is entered to post bond and then appeal.
The simple fact of the matter is that Trump can’t afford to pay such a massive fine while keeping his presidential campaign alive — and he knows it.
Trump’s shady attorney said that if the judge enters the attorney general’s judgment they “request the Court stay enforcement of that Judgment for thirty (30) days. Given that the court-appointed monitor continues to be in place, there is no prejudice to the Attorney General in briefly staying enforcement to allow for an orderly post-Judgment process, particularly given the magnitude of Judgment.”
Unsurprisingly, Letitia James’ office opposed Trump’s request in a formal filing, saying that there is “no room for further debate.” An attorney for the state of New York further added that Trump completely failed to provide any real rationalization for a 30-day extension.
Clearly, Trump’s goose is cooked.
Please retweet and ❤️ to urge the judge to reject the extension — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

THE ASSASSINATION OF PATRICE LUMUMBA WAS ORDERED BY U.S PRESIDENT DWIGHT EISENHOWER.
On 17th January 1961, African martyr Patrice Emery Lumumba was secretely murdered in a remote forest location of the Katanga province, South Eastern Congo.
Just 7 months after his appointment as the first popularly elected prime minister of Congo upon his country's independence from Belgium on 30th June 1960, he was forced out of office, mercilessly killed, and his remains buried in a mass grave with two other political followers who had been executed alongside him.
The execution is reported to have happened in the presence of the Belgian Counsel General in Congo.
His was there reportedly to personally ascertain the killing of Patrice Lumumba and report the accomplished task back to Belgium.
Today Congolese and foreign tourists flock the remote site to see for themselves the place where Patrice Lumumba was murdered.
A tree and a grave stone mark where he was shot and then buried. The tree is still marked with holes made by the bullets after going through his body.
It has long been known that Belgium actively participated in Lumumba's death, and the European country's role has been highlighted recently by a film, several documenntaries, and several books.
'The Assassination of Lumumba', by the Flemish expert on Africa Lugo De Witte, shows that the Congolese Prime Minister was assaulted in the presence of Belgian officers and tortured in a villa guarded by Belgian troops.
Claude Grandelet, one of the Belgian soldiers guarding the house, narrated recently those events saying: "We had been ordered to shoot at UN peacekeepers if they came to check on Lumumba".
"And if we couldn't prevent the UN troops from entering the premises, we were ordered to immediately kill Lumumba" he added.
It is also worth noting that when he was ultimately killed, the Congolese Prime Minister was shot by an execution squad supervised by a Belgian captain.
His body would be exhumed a few days later from the shallow grave where he and his two colleagues bodies had been summarily dumped.
The exhumation was conducted by Belgian police commissioner Gerard Soet. He hAS narrated in a 2000 documentary how he then chopped Patrice Lumumba's body to pieces, burned them, and then dipped the remains in a tar-coated barrel of sulphuric acid before burning whatever was left.
More worryingly, Mr. Soete also admitted on Belgian television that he had even kept two of the victim's teeth which he presented to the camera's.
As he unfolded a handkerchief to present the two remains, he remarked that "Lumumba had very nice teeth.. One had been crowned with gold in the back".
This revelation prompted loud calls for their return to Congo.
Today at the site of the execution, one Congolese eye witness Mr. Lwimba Mutifu Njiba narrates to visitors how he and his father were returning from hunting at about 8 O'clock on that fateful evening when they saw the lights of a vehicle driving into the bushes.
As they watched from a distance, he saw one person being taken by soldiers from the truck to a nearby tree and shot. Then a second person. Then a third and last individual.
At the time he did not know who the three people being executed were.
He and his father stayed out of sight during the entire ordeal and only returned to the location the next morning to find a shallow mass grave with the bare feet of all three victims sticking out from the earth.
He also says that some Belgians would return a few days later to unearth the remains, and dump them in a barrel of acid.
They reportedly did so in order to erase any physical trace of Patrice Lumumba.
However since his death, Patrice Lumumba has become an African martyr and a symbol of the continents independence struggle.
He remains revered across Africa and the Third World.
