What I'd love to see is a guy like movielover actually admit that he posted something clearly wrong, like about Ethiopia being an "Islamic country" when the evidence says it is majority Christian, and retract it and/or apologize for it. That will never happen, though. These guys just move on to spamming the next junk they saw on Twitter.

This is no different than most on the left. You talk like this is exclusive to the right, it's absolutely not.

That being said, yes most of Ethiopia is a Christian country. Mainly in the north and Muslim in the south and east. The woman referenced is from Northern Ethiopia although from what I can find she hasn't ever confirmed what religion she is a part of, if any.

Ethiopia is 34% Muslim and 2/3 Christian. USA is less than 2% Muslim.

I don't think it's exclusive to the right. I have admitted to being wrong about things myself, like on speculation about the motives of Charlie Kirk's killer.

But either way, when something is clearly wrong, just admit it. It's okay.

It seemed like a slight on only the right but thanks for clarifying. I misinterpreted your original post then.

Melat Kiros is not Muslim. How do we know that? Because if she were, it would have been posted everywhere as part of the million dollar smear campaign against her funded by AIPAC and other establishment/zionist donors who push the same racist agitprop narrative as "Amuse".

So Ethiopia is majority Christian as I said and it is wrong to call it an Islamic country. Thanks for confirming.

Yes, you were correct. Ethiopia is a majority Christian country with a large Muslim minority. Thank you for confirming my confirming.

She sure exited the law field quickly. Did she pass the bar?

Wants to end ICE and establish Federal rent control.


She graduated from Notre Dame law school and did pass her bar. You're assuming she didn't because she is a minority?

https://www.denverpost.com/2026/07/01/melat-kiros-colorado/

This is the post that led to her law firm firing her, a pretty measured and moderate position on the situation in Palestine:

https://medium.com/@melatakiros/dear-us-law-firms-77ec63e838af



Lots of Ethiopians in DC, spurring me to have Ethiopian food later in Berkeley. But it didn't match the vibe and experience with my Indian friends in Adam's Morgan. Always tough to match that magical first experience.

I had a few convos w locals. A family run convenience store, possibly in Foggy Bottom. And a few young ladies, very traditional, told me they wouldn't date Americans or African Americans. FTR, my Black friends think they're gorgeous.

Funny, years ago I ran into an Ethiopian Mother and daughter in the San Leandro area. We had a pleasant chat, and I asked her to recommend an Ethiopian restaurant. She said that was tough, bc her standards are high. I mentioned that there used to be a highly regarded restaurant in San Jose - Red Sea?

The daughter about exploded out of her seat. Mother, "That was our restaurant!" What a cosmic, poetic turn. The vibes were intense. I think we both made each other's day.

Does Ethiopia really have the Ark of the Covenant?

Curious, what did you think the killer's motives were?

Ton of Ethiopian restaurants in Oakland. Also coffee houses, both Ethiopian and Yemeni, less expensive and good quality

The Muslim population in Ethiopia is large enough where extremist groups have targeted Ethiopian Orthodox Christians through mob attacks and church burnings.

Ethiopia holds some of the world's oldest and most important Christian manuscripts, particularly the Garima Gospels, translations of the New Testament gospels that date to approximately the 4th-7th centuries AD.

Exactly.

They just "move on" to spamming the board with more regurgitated Twitter rubbish.
The stuff that Amuse puts out is ridiculously dumb.

It's not even remotely amusing.

Because Biden was more dementia ridden than Trump and you ignore it.

Two separate points to your statement. Biden wasn't doing much, his handlers were, and Biden was creating issues such as flooding the country with illegals and stressing our social systems.

It's not even remotely close. You might not like the way he talks and yes he rambles, but Trump isn't a political vegetable.

Exactly. Some solid cabinet members, some not so. Efforts sabatogued by the Deep State, Glovalists, EU (NATO) and Senator Thune.
