WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

5. I am originally from Nigeria. In Nigeria, I was a member of one of Nigeria's main
political parties, the P.D.P. In 2018, 1 started being violently targeted by members of the
ruling political party, the A.P.C. In November 2018, members of the A.P.C. beat me and
other party leaders with plank woods, iron rods, and machetes. The attacks escalated from then and happened several times until I left Nigeria.

6. I fled Nigeria in 2019 after being tortured by the military and police officers for the
Nigerian Department of State Services. They tortured me and kept me locked in a dog
cage for three days until they let me go and told me they would kill me if they ever saw
me again. After this incident I had to leave Nigeria to save my life.

7. Nothing in Nigeria has gotten better since I left. The situation in the country has become worse. The political party that targeted me is still in power.

9. The officer finally told me that we were going to Ghana. I told him that I am afraid of
going to Ghana and that I cannot go to Ghana.
10. He told us "whether you like it or not, your ass is getting on that plane." He then
straitjacketed me extremely tightly, tying me from my shoulders to my feet.
11. I was put onto a military plane with the other people who were taken from their cells. I
remained straitjacketed for several hours until I pleaded with the officers to remove it so
that I could use the restroom. I begged the officers over and over again to take off the
straitjacket so that I could use the restroom, otherwise I would urinate on myself. They
finally removed the restraints on my legs after pleading with them for a long time, but left
the restraints on my upper body.

23. We are all afraid for our lives. We are not safe here, and now they are planning to hand us over to our country's government for further persecution and torture. We don't know
what our futures hold.
24. We urgently need help. We do not want to meet with government officials of our
countries or to be returned to those countries.

NATO's reaction or underreaction to the Russian attack on Poland will determine the timeline for the Russian invasion of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Finland. Make no mistake, the attack was a deliberate strategy to practice for the looming invasion of the Baltics.

Why getting a COVID vaccine in Virginia just got a lot harder New federal rules mean many families will now need a doctor's prescription β€” even at CVS and Walgreens.

Thanks to RFK, Jr., you can't get a COVID shot from CVS or Walgreens in Virginia without a prescription. And even if you have one, you still may have to pay $140.
