hakuna mbadala 

(ha koo NAH — bah DAH lah)
Translation from Kiswahili to English: "There is no alternative."

Common usage is found among those aligned with or sympathetic to the LiFE™ Mission of ABiA Nation. It is mostly a stoically serious and sacred admonition, reminder, and encouragement to remember that the cost of freedom and LiVeration can be steep, yet the reward is priceless! Meanwhile, the failure to proceed and succeed is grave and often terminally dire.

It can often be heard uttered at the end of any order or assignment issued that is inherently dangerous and commonly thought of as unlikely, if not impossible to achieve.

It is, however, often used just as enthusiastically at celebrations of remembrance, victory, conquest, and achievement. In this use case, it is usually performed and heard as a rhythmic chant/incantation and/or call & response. The impromptu performance may be accompanied by strong dance and inspired, organically coordinated, sometimes syncopated chest slapping/thumping with the hand and/or fist until it becomes music and song. It is an often imitated style that is unique to the ABiAN Peoples.

The full embodiment of the sentiment of the Israeli Jewish peoples captured in their legendary "En Brera," is inculcated and alive within the understanding of "hakuna mbadala." There is no alternative.
"It is better that we should die on our feet rather than live on our knees. hakuna mbadala."
"Shut up and build IT! hakuna mbadala."
"Always remember. Never forget. Never again. hakuna mbadala."

Smart, hilarious, honest, positive.

Secretly really insecure, she's someone you can trust with anything. Might have a habit of overthinking a lot. She pushes people away at first and it takes time to earn her trust, she can read people and you might not want to upset her, the chances of getting back to her are slim to none.

She can really make someone smile, her laugh is worth a lot. Elegant, hilarious, worth it. Her deep dark eyes can tell a lot. Knows she can get through anything. Easiest girl to talk to, always there for you. Not the easiest to get to, but once she's yours, you'll never stop smiling, if you get a girl like that, consider it more than a blessing. If you find someone like her, don't ever loose her.
Miss Hasna so much, can't wait to see her!

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
