1/ Haiti’s gangs are running out of options.
“Pa Gen Wout Pa Bwa”
- Haiti National Police: 6,000+ (including UTAG & BOID)
- Haiti’s military (FaDH): approx. 1,500 soldiers (excluding academy trainees)
- UN-backed Gang Suppression Force: 2,000+ (more expected)
- Salvadoran troops: 2,000+
- Erik Prince’s private contractors: 200 special ops personnel expert in combat amd technical capabilities
For the first time, Haiti has over 10,000 personnel ready to combat insecurity/gangs. They are only beginning their joint operation.
The question isn’t whether pressure continues, but who remains standing when it ends. The time is now for the gangs to surrender.

THIS IS NOT NEWS.
It's an open secret who financed and created/enabled the gangs.
It is a classic Carl von Clausewitz theory : political violence and war (politics by other means).
This is simply a continuation of politics by any means. Corrupt politicians armed the gangs; essentially, elements of the political and economic sector use violence as a tool. You wonder why the gangs once asked to be recognized as a political entity. Even better, they still want to position themselves as one.
A video of gang leader Jimmy “Barbecue” Chérizier discussing alleged ties between Haitian politicians and armed gangs is going viral.
Chérizier claims some politicians worked with gangs for political gain, then turned against them.
He alleges former Senator Moïse Jean-Charles called him to help remove former Prime Minister Ariel Henry from office, promising benefits to gangs if he came to power. Chérizier says those promises were never kept then Jean-Charles decided to install politician, Vertilaire, in the Transitional Presidential Council (CPT).
He also accuses former Prime Minister and presidential candidate Claude Joseph of sending 20 million gourdes to his G9 gang through a police officer, then breaking his promises. He also criticizes Joseph for labeling Viv Ansanm a terrorist organization and claims Joseph helped bring Ariel Henry into office.
Chérizier says some politicians did not expect gangs to unite under Viv Ansanm, and that this unity is why some now oppose negotiations and support international military intervention.
He also questions André Michel’s opposition to negotiations, claiming Michel fears hidden political dealings could be exposed. As an example, Chérizier claims Michel previously spoke with gang leader Vitel’homme Innocent and allegedly said former Senator Nénel Cassy is connected to Vitel’homme.
These are claims by Chérizier. They have not been independently verified by NouJounal. NouJounal does not endorse these accusations, and those named have not yet responded.

Lawyer: Finished law school; can work at a firm and in other capacities as legal counsel, but cannot litigate in court.
Attorney: Passed the bar exam and can litigate in court.
Is there a difference between a lawyer and attorney? I use em both interchangeably. Either way I got the degree and I’m admitted.

Society refuses an uncomfortable conversation, and the next generation is paying for it. Millions of kids grow up in single-parent or non-co-parenting homes not because dad walked away, but because he was pushed out. Some women publicly say they “don’t need a man” and that a child isn’t required to feel accomplished… Then quietly treat a child like another trophy on the resume. Those who can afford it pay for a baby. Some have a child with a man — then freeze him out to reach the same goal. The children didn’t ask to be part of that experiment.
Why is this conversation still off-limits?

The relationship Jay-Z and Kanye have—perhaps had—is a beautiful dynamic. Amid all the ego and noise, I believe there is real admiration for one another.

Unpopular opinion:
Watching the first episode of Jay Z in 8 makes me realize he probably feels nothing toward Dame but just keeps his boundaries. I suspected that because staying and looking healthy like he does requires freedom and peace.

Can't wait for the original Babat and her crew to jump on Joe's neck again, just like they ambushed her in the kitchen before. This time Neil can watch the real Babat lead the operation. Looks like she already told Kaitlin who Joe really reports to when coming home late. This might be the only crew that can force Joe to sit her little ass down and make Kaitlyn give her that desk. 😂 #lioness

No one needs to be a genius to figure that out. We've crossed every boundary of civility and the common good that ever existed for humanity.

Unpopular opinion: AI-dev halt debate is moot—genie's already out. Majors can stop R&D publicly. How stop smaller actors using AI maliciously?

@MichaelBrun & @SAINtJHN, any truth to that, or shall we ask JESSICA?

Happy Labor Day to every American who shows up, clocks in, and keeps the lights on. Let's build it here. Hire here. Win here.

Can you imagine your rent tied to your job the same way healthcare already is?
Big companies start buying up apartment buildings left and right and hand employees a place to live as a benefit.
Suddenly Tommy and Jaylen aren’t picking jobs based on salary or title… they’re choosing companies based on who’ll put a roof over their heads.
“Yeah, I’m taking the offer; they cover rent.”
Healthcare was the first thing they locked to employment.
Housing might be next 😂

Probably the best relationship advice I ever got/heard wasn’t about communication or love languages. It was:
“Don’t keep score.”
Almost everything gets easier when you stop tracking who did what.

I don’t think the official job numbers reflects the overall reality of average Americans.
Here is the interesting part.
Most people see right through them. They know the real economy doesn’t match the rosy stats. Yet they stay quiet and let the poll and data creators keep pushing the misleading info. But one side has stopped playing along. They’re not buying it, and they’re not making noise about it either.
So what’s actually happening here? Who are poll and data creators lying to and misleading? And what happens when the quiet side finally speaks on Election Day?
