Amala Ekpunobi is pregnant and not married

Since when is it "conservative" to have a baby outside of wedlock ? She would be shunned to hell if she lived in my country even by the leftists. It is a modern country but having a baby outside of marriage is highly frowned upon. Abortion is legal and encouraged if not married. I can't imagine someone unmarried popping her belly out like that. I know i will be downvoted to hell in this subreddit but i am genuinely confused that noone mentions this "conservative" lady is not only having sex outside of marriage, (which everyone does, whatever) but also getting pregnant without marriage. Aren't conservative woman encouraging "propper families", "not being cheap", "saving yourself untill the ring" bla bla. It all seems like hypocrisy now that noone bats an eye. Aren't most conservatives also religious? Iam a leftist in my country and would be a centrist in the USA. I have no problem with anything and i am quite woke, but i feel like people in the right should not approve? Are conservative people in the US so obsessed with babies now that they embrace illegitimate babies ? It used to be a leftist thing and still is in my country.

"Maybe the 60% of Americans don't work as hard as I do" Congressman Rep. Troy Nehls boasts about eating lobster and ribeyes when asked about the affordability crisis.

How Minnesota keeps neighbors installing rooftop solar from driving up the power bill of their non-solar neighbors

Although solar is being built out at breakneck speeds, 1-to-1 net metering is quietly functioning as a regressive tax on non-solar residents.

For context, utility providers don't actually make a profit off the raw electricity we consume, but rather on the physical infrastructure to deliver it. They typically bundle those two costs together into a flat per-kWh rate.

Under traditional "net metering," excess solar energy is sold back to the grid, allowing the resident to zero out their bill and dodge their share of those infrastructure costs. Those costs are then passed on to non-solar residents—often renters or lower-income folks—which naturally makes people sour on the green transition.

While states like Arkansas are fighting over this, Minnesota came up with a brilliant "Buy-All, Sell-All" model to fix it. I broke down how it works in my latest article here: https://samholmes285.substack.com/p/why-your-neighbors-solar-panels-might

Don’t say KJU is your favorite dictator.

Sure, Isreal fucking sucks, so what if KJU bombs a militia of Israelites? That’s fine- that’s not what I’m talking about.

I’ve been scrolling instagram reels and came across not one, not two, but THREE videos commentating on how wonderful Kim is. One even saying he’s their favorite dictator. That’s horrific that people outside of North Korea are saying this.

Just because Kim offered (maybe) to do this one good thing, it does not mean he is a good person. So stop saying it! He is a terrible, horrible person. North Koreans go through hell each and every day because of the totalitarian, evil rule that hovers over their heads.

He’s killed, ordered to kill, and so much more. Inconceivable crimes have been committed in the hands of the NK “government”.

Moral of the story: NEVER convince yourself for even a second that he is a good person. Even if he would be doing us a favor!

**Dont believe everything you see online. This post and other posts have likely snowballed into something untrue after a threat has been made by Kim Jong Un.**
