‘It is not over! ’ Stella Immanuel reacts to defeat of Trump in U.S election

Image
  Like her idol, Donald Trump, Texas based medical doctor and evangelical Christian, Stella Immanuel is not ready to accept the reality of emergence of Joe Biden as the 46th President of the United States. Trump has refused to concede after Biden, secured the required number of electoral college votes to win the presidential race. In a defiant statement shortly after Biden was projected winner, Trump said the election was “far from over”, and criticised Biden for “rushing to falsely pose as the winner”. Speaking in the same vein, Dr Immanuel, who was shown on video praying for Trump as the counting of votes for last Tuesday’s election indicated that the Democratic candidate had taken lead over the sitting President said on Saturday in a post on his Facebook page that the battle for the presidency is not over. “IT IS NOT OVER! THE STONE IS ABOUT TO DESCEND. THEY MAY MINGLE WITH US BUT THERE IS ABOUT TO BE A CRUSHING. KEEP PRAYING,” Immanuel said in a post in which she q...

Barcelona’s wonderkid, Ansu Fati suffers knee injury

Image
    Barcelona wonderkid Ansu Fati could be set for a significant spell on the sidelines, after he suffered a serious knee injury during Barcelona’s 5-2 victory over Real Betis on Saturday. Barcelona confirmed that Fati did not come on for the second half after picking up an injury to his left knee, and could be out for a while. The 18-year-old played the opening 45 minutes for La Blaugrana but was substituted at half-time by Ronald Koeman, who introduced Lionel Messi in his place. Messi went on to turn the game in favour of his side netting a brace and helping his side run out hefty winners. Fati’s injury is described as an ‘internal meniscus injury’ to his left knee, a blow that could leave the winger out of action for several months.

Image
    United States of America President-elect, Joe Biden, has assured black voters of his support. He said this in his victory speech on Sunday (Nigerian time).Biden appreciated the voters for backing him in major cities. Black voters helped Biden emerged victorious in states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. “And especially for those moments when this campaign was at its lowest — the African American community stood up again for me. They always have my back, and I’ll have yours,” he said. When assuring his support for African-Americans, he repeatedly slammed his fist on the podium and the crowd erupted in cheers. According to Africa Business Insider, black voters, particularly in key cities such as Atlanta, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Philadelphia, were a critical factor in Biden’s success. Exit polls revealed that 87 per cent of Black voters backed Biden compared to just 12 per cent for President Donald Trump, though they also indicated that Trump had improved h...

Trump will never concede, he will break things - Mary Trump

Image
  This is how the most colossal and fragile ego on the planet deals with losing the US election: he does not deal with it at all. My uncle’s speech late on election night wasn’t just entirely mendacious from beginning to end. It was also deeply dangerous. It’s one thing for random Republicans to call a legitimate election into question, but this was the head of the government. The consequences of that action should not be underestimated. This is what Donald’s going to do: he’s not going to concede, although who cares. What’s worse is he’s not going to engage in the normal activities that guarantee a peaceful transition. All he’s got now is breaking stuff, and he’s going to do that with a vengeance. I’ve always known how cruel he can be. Shortly after the 2016 election, when I’d see him being particularly cruel, I would think about how he treated my father [Fred Trump Jr, Donald’s older brother, who died of alcoholism at 43].  He took away our family health insura...
