NDC Is Not Building A Billionaire-Only Party - Dickson If stakeholders, during interviews or interactions, ask someone seeking to become governor about their sources of funding, that is entirely legitimate. These are important questions, especially in a political environment where many of the states in question are controlled by... the APC, with governors managing monthly allocations that run into tens of billions of naira. It is easy for someone in a suit to present impressive narratives, but in the real political world, it is reasonable for stakeholders to ask, “Gentlemen, can you explain your sources of funding?” I believe that is exactly what stakeholders did, and there is nothing wrong or unusual about it; it is a perfectly legitimate part of the political process.

For a Governor to go on TV to market his consensus candidate, it means there is trouble. All I hear is “I, I and I” .. nothing like we or mention of stakeholders. It confirms what people are saying that he didn’t consult with critical stakeholders in the state and that is a big problem.

Peter Obi And Kwankwaso’s Move To The NDC Was Years In The Making - Dickson The NDC leadership remains intact, and there is no crisis of confidence within the party. We have been able to attract strong membership and earn the trust of my colleagues, including former governors and other distinguished Nigerian political leaders. We also brought together Peter Obi and Kwankwaso, two of the country's most influential political figures, onto our platform. These are people I have worked with for a long time, so this convergence within the NDC did not happen overnight; it is the result of years of engagement and collaboration. Many Nigerians believe in us, and I want to thank them for their trust, confidence, and continued support. Seriake Dickson, Founder & Leader, Nigeria Democratic Congress

The Circle (2000, Panahi)/ Iran "Political movies have limited time. After that time, it doesn’t say anything anymore. But if the whole thing is said in an artistic way, then it doesn’t have an expiration date." --- Jafar Panahi Full Excerpt: "Interviewer: The subject matter of 'The Circle' (2000) is controversial. You mentioned that the film is still banned in Iran. In fact, when I was watching the film, I realized that through the characters, there’s a lot of fear about the system, the establishment, the police. The women can’t smoke; they have to wear the chador; they seem to want to hide every time. This is all very clear from watching the film. Did you deliberately want to make a statement about the political situation in Iran? Panahi: I have to tell you again that I’m not a political person. I don’t like political movies. But I take every opportunity to comment on the social issues. I talk about the current issues. To me it’s not important what is the reason for what has happened. Whether it’s political reasons or geographical reasons: these are not important—but the condition, the social issues. It is important to me to talk about the plight of humanity at that time. I don’t want to give a political view, or start a political war. I think that the artist should rise above this. Political movies have limited time. After that time, it doesn’t say anything anymore. But if the whole thing is said in an artistic way, then it doesn’t have an expiration date. So it doesn’t really serve a political purpose. Then it can be everlasting, for always, and it could be for anywhere. But I know that politically, with the film authorities, with any kind of film that has some political background in it, they would take issue with it. And for this reason, that is what the problem is. Interviewer: Still, your film makes a very strong statement about the problems that women face in Iran. Panahi: Yes, I agree with that. Interviewer: So that is humanitarian, of course, but it’s also political. Panahi: Yes, I agree with that. It has the elements. It all depends on how you look at it. If a person has only political views, then he will only see the political. But if you are a poet or an artist, then you see other things as well in the movie. If you are a socialist, you see political or economic or whatever different points of view. You mustn’t look at a film with only one point of view. If you want to see 'The Circle' (2000) as political, then it is one of the most political movies in Iran. By political, I mean partisan politics. But even the police, I didn’t want to show them as bad. In the first instance, you are afraid of the police. Because you are looking at them from the point of view of someone who is now in prison. And normally you see him in a long shot, but when they come nearer and you see them in a medium shot, you can see their human faces. Then it comes down to, “Do you need any help?” But he goes back again and becomes frightening. If I were being political, then I would always show the police as dangerous or bad persons." (Jafar Panahi's interview with Stephen Teo, Senses of Cinema, 2001)

NDC Does Not Sell Nomination Tickets Based On Wealth - Dickson From my understanding, and to the best of my knowledge, I don’t think anyone has come forward to say the national leadership demanded money for tickets or that the National Working Committee sold positions. The national party usually deploys officials to conduct primaries, and in every party, PDP, APC, ADC, these situations can arise. When there is a surge in interest and membership, especially where people believe the party can win, competition becomes very high. In that context of direct primaries, there is often strong contestation and sometimes desperation among aspirants, which can lead to misunderstandings and counter-claims.

"What a terrible error it is to go after anybody who has legitimate questions about the interaction between the United States and not only a foreign state but a particular administration that has a very hard line bent within that foreign state. You're allowed to have questions. You're an American. That's one of the great things about it. You're allowed to have questions. You're allowed to ask any question you want. And anybody who wants to say that the reason you can't ask that question is because you're revealing a horrible defect in character, or defect of character, is running exactly the risk of creating the enemy, effectively calling it forth." - Bret Weinstein

I stood on the steps of the Supreme Court Monday . Donald Trump has done real things for MAHA. I believe that. But when the Department of Justice shows up to defend Bayer and Monsanto against the American people, against the health of our children, I have to say: you got this one wrong. Liability protection for corporations that poison people is not a conservative value. It is not a Republican value. It is not a Democratic value. It is not an American value. It is the opposite of a free market. It is the government putting its thumb on the scale for corporations that are losing in court because their products are causing cancer. Every child in this country deserves to be healthy. That is not a political statement. That is the only statement that matters. So in the words of the President himself: we are going to fight, fight.

Jordan Bardella, leader of France’s far-right party National Rally: The mistake of France and of Europe — and of Emmanuel Macron — has been to present themselves as moral actors in a world where the major political leaders are dressed as warriors. The major political leaders of this world — and that is true of Trump, it is true of Putin, it is true of the Chinese President, and it is also true of Erdogan — only understand and respond to the balance of power.

Buttigieg: It is not too much to ask that, in this country and in this state, one job ought to be enough, which means wages and benefits that make that possible. It’s not too much to ask that you ought to be able to afford to raise a family in this country—to put your kid in child care if you want, or stay home and take care of them yourselves if you want, or do some combination of that if you want—and still have it add up at the end of the month. It is not too much to ask that the wealthiest country in the world have the best health care in the world and that it have the best-funded public schools in the world. And it is not too much to ask that the largest corporations and wealthiest people in this country pay at least as much of their income and wealth in taxes as a schoolteacher, a bus driver, or a firefighter. It is not too much to ask for a different kind of politics, where you look at your leaders in action and actually feel your blood pressure come down a little bit instead of going through the roof. That is a reasonable thing to expect of our leaders. It is not too much to ask. We can do this. Most of us already want this. So the obvious question is: Why hasn’t it happened? And that’s where we’ve got to talk about the system that we’re living with, which, by the way, as a politician, they kind of tell you not to do. Consultants say, “Look, no one’s going to get too fired up about the details of our democratic system when they’re just trying to keep their heads above water in this economy,” which I get, and to some extent I agree. But the reason that so many things are wrong with our economic picture is that so many things are wrong with our political system. And we’ve gotten so used to it, we can forget that there was a time when our political system was the pride of this nation. Wars have been fought for our system, starting with the first one—the one that launched 250 years ago with the Declaration of Independence, the one that gave this nation its being. The Founders risked their lives for a better political system. So don’t tell me it can’t stir people’s hearts. Don’t tell me that it’s not worth fighting for. Especially because until we do something to change our political system, we will continue to suffer from an economic system that lets us down: monopolies squeezing families and farmers on both ends; consumers and workers caught up in a system that can’t serve them; small businesses swamped by the big guys. Right now, what’s at stake is nothing less than the American dream. It is endangered.

If you are standing on a stage in Iran saying “Salute to the Islamic Republic” or saying in Farsi “Death to Israel,” it is entirely reasonable for your home country to treat that as a serious national security concern. Christopher Helali should be barred from re-entry into the United States, and I hope the ongoing scrutiny of the American Communist Party is producing real results. What Bushra Shaikh is doing is not journalism. It is political warfare, and it belongs in the same category as the extremism that led the United Kingdom to crack down on Palestine Action.

It is legitimate to believe that there are only two genders. And we were wrong to suggest that that is not the case. We were wrong to say that that is hateful.’ When they say that, I am waiting with open arms to take down the temperature.” Please listen to the whole thing. She nails perfectly what I’m thinking.

For thirty years the people of this country have been repeatedly told that experts are the answer to any problem. Need to build more housing? Need to invest in infrastructure? Need to manage the currency? Don’t worry! An expert committee will be formed! And yet the record of governance by experts in that time is appalling. Can you think of a part of the state that functions better under these people? Perhaps the truth that our political class fails to grasp is this: running a country is not a matter for specialist expertise, it is a political exercise. Decisions must be made that balance and sometimes override competing stakeholders, not constantly embolden them. The terrifying truth about our obsession with expertise is that it has nothing to do with the experts at all. It’s about politicians who wish to shirk the responsibility of actually governing. Fine. If they don’t want to do it. We’ll find people who will. #DavidStarkey #UKPolitics #PoliticalLeadership #Governance #BritishPolitics #PoliticalAccountability #PublicPolicy

Chamath: Fraud at this scale will end the American Empire if nothing is done “It is a crucible moment for American society.” “If nothing happens and we deem this kind of theft acceptable, it is the beginning of the end of the American Empire.” “It's just a level of disrespect and lack of care for this country.” “I will be waiting and observing how important it is to root this out, that's number one.” “The second, which is more tactical political calculus, this is an enormous opportunity for the Republican Party if they take this and run with this.” “Is there waste, fraud and abuse in every state? Absolutely. I don't think this is endemically a Democratic problem, but the scale of it is so gargantuan in these Democratic states that if the Republicans don't take advantage of it, I think it is a huge political miscalculation.” “So there is this tactical opportunity, which I think if you want to have a chance in the midterms and if you generally wanna have a chance to level-set the country, you must take this and run with it.” “And then separately, if as Friedberg says, it does die on the vine, it is the beginning of the end of the American Empire, unfortunately.”

The National Leader of the NDC, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson has criticized the Electoral Act passed by the APC majority, which did not give political parties the option to opt for a delegates’ election (indirect primary). This method according to him, is often easier for political parties to conduct and to manage any fallout from it.

What Zohran’s campaign is about, and why it is so important that he wins, is that it is a test case of whether the billionaires completely control the political process or whether democracy can still prevail. This is a fight we must not lose.

It turned philosophical. As Devine dove in deeper to Gabbard’s rise to where she’s sitting today, Devine asked Gabbard about her infamous departure from the Democratic Party, the party she once represented and even ran for president under. Gabbard let it all out. She said the modern Democratic Party has abandoned the Constitution entirely, and what we’re seeing now is a “spiritual problem” rooted in a rejection of objective truth. She saw it coming and says she was mocked for speaking out. “I remember, as I was running for president in 2020… I talked about wanting to revive kind of a new Democratic Party that would bring it back to our roots of fighting for the people, of fighting for free speech.” “And I was ridiculed. I was ridiculed at that Democratic event for having the audacity to say such things.” That was just five years ago. She says the party’s descent has only accelerated since then. “The Democratic Party has rapidly become far more extreme.” So where did things go so wrong? “You can point to a lot of different moments,” “But really fundamentally, the Democratic Party is not rooted in the Constitution.” What troubles her most is their denial of reality. “Their refusal, for example, to accept that there is such a thing as objective truth.” “We have people in the Democratic Party—almost everyone—who accepts this or promotes and propagates that there is no such thing as a man or a woman.” And it doesn’t stop there. “How is it that these people really don’t believe that there is such a thing as objective truth?” “Fundamentally, it’s a spiritual problem where they are putting themselves in the position of believing that they are God, and therefore they are the ones who designate what is true and what is not, what is right and what is wrong.” This was a total unmasking of her former party.

"Courage is far shorter in supply than genius." - Peter Thiel "One of the challenges in writing a book about entrepreneurship or teaching a class on this is that there is sort of no formula. And I think science always starts with a number two. It starts with experiments you can repeat, things you can do over and over again. But there's sort of a sense in which every moment in the history of business, every moment in the history of technology happens only once. The next Mark Zuckerberg will not be starting a social networking company. The next Larry Page will not start a search engine. The next Bill Gates will not be starting an operating system. And so if you are trying to copy these people, you're in some sense not learning from them. And so I think one of the really big challenges in teaching or writing about entrepreneurship is what can you say about being an entrepreneur at all when the key thing is always to do something new, different, that's not precisely been done before. And so the point of departure I start with in Zero to One is a somewhat indirect approach by asking a series of contrarian questions. The business question is, what great company is nobody starting? The more intellectual version of this question is, tell me something true that very few people agree with you on. And this is a fantastic interview question. It turns out to be quite a hard question, even when people can read on the internet that you ask of everybody who comes in the door, it still is a hard question. It's one of those unusual questions where if you know it's on the test, it's still hard. And it's hard not just because we sort of think that new things require brilliance or something like that, but because it's socially difficult. If I ask you that question, if you tell me something like the education system is screwed up or our political system doesn't work very well, those are true answers, but they're not actually good answers because all of us already know them to be true. The good answers are ones that are somehow uncomfortable that the person interviewing you does not actually want to hear. And I think we live in this world where courage is in far shorter supply than genius. And so it is sort of this, it is in a sense this problem of political correctness properly understood, is this very deep, very, very broad sort of a problem."

"Courage is far shorter in supply than genius." - Peter Thiel "One of the challenges in writing a book about entrepreneurship or teaching a class on this is that there is sort of no formula.

What is happening in #Islamabad is nothing short of a purge! It doesn’t matter which political party you like, follow or conform to, these actions of the executive, against PTI, are absolutely unacceptable & should be called into question by all.
