The Race Card has died. South Africans aren’t voting out of some imaginary fear of apartheid anymore.
SA should also pass a law terminating any SASSA payment to vandals and protesters who damage public property.
🇫🇷 The French Senate has passed the “Rioters Pay” bill, making rioters financially liable for damages during public demonstrations.
They can be ordered to pay up to €10,000 ($11,000) for property damage, even if they did not personally commit the vandalism.
Liability covers anyone who “knowingly participated” in a group formed to vandalize, or who stayed after two police dispersal warnings.
Social media platforms must remove content inciting violence, vandalism, or insurrection within 24 hours of an authority request, or face blocking and delisting.
To recover unpaid damages, the state can seize parts of social benefits, including family allowances, housing assistance, supplements, and France’s minimum-income benefit.

Across the rich world, nearly a quarter of all development aid now goes to climate projects.
The core problem is opportunity cost. Every dollar subsidizing solar panels or carbon accounting is a dollar not spent on schools, maternal health or clean water.

The man who ran the only successful government dept under the ANC also agrees that BEE should go -
"Another problem, he said, is that South Africa frequently appoints individuals based on political, ethnic, cultural, or social affiliations.
To build good institutions, people must be appointed on the basis of merit, competence, and a proven track record."
Former South African Revenue Service (SARS) Commissioner Edward Kieswetter said that the country’s leaders lie about serving the people and instead serve themselves.

What’s super funny about you saying this, is you would never make the same inference between a stadium of 60K people chanting “Kill the Boer” and a single farm murder.
The hypocrisy is as hilarious as it is naked.

Too many people who claim to care about the poor are more interested in making life harder for the rich than making life easier for the poor.

Why does the whole world seem not to care about these persecuted Christians?
Días después de denunciar la persecución contra los cristianos en Nigeria, el reverendo Ezekiel Dachomo vuelve a estar de luto, mientras sepulta a más miembros de su iglesia en medio de los continuos ataques y persecución de parte del Islam en Nigeria.
¡INTERCEDAMOS A DIOS POR LA IGLESIA PERSEGUIDA EN NIGERIA Y POR EL REV. EZEQUIEL DACHOMO! 🙏

BREAKING: A three-year-old child was one of eleven Christians butchered in Nigeria by Islamists this week.
His father stated, “I saw more than 15 heavily armed men moving from house to house and chanting ‘Allahu Akbar’ while macheting our people.”
Where is the outrage?

If Hamas were a real "resistance", it could have penetrated deep into Israel, attacking military, police, and government targets. The IDF was in a state of total confusion, and might have been decapitated.
Hamas decided to stick around and slaughter civilians en masse instead.
Hamas could have, if it wanted to, made great headway in destroying the "fascist" Israeli government and declaring a state of "equality" between Israelis and Palestinians in a united state. It didn't want to. it doesn't want to.
This is not resistance, but pure, unadulterated evil.

I am honored to be a part of 76 retired U.S. officers (including 13 Generals, 27 Lieutenant Generals, 19 Major Generals, 5 Brigadier Generals) Refuting the Genocide Allegation Against Israel.

"The precedent established today regarding Israel will shape the conditions under which American forces fight tomorrow. Protecting civilians and preserving the ability of our nation to defend itself requires us to defend the truth when the laws of war are being distorted to make false charges of genocide."

October 7 — We Remember. 🇮🇱🕯️
Today, we remember the innocent lives stolen on October 7.
We remember the families whose worlds were shattered, the young people who never returned home, the parents who lost their children, the children who lost their parents, and every person taken hostage and torn away from those who loved them.
Behind every name was a life.
A family. A dream. A future.
May the memory of those we lost forever be a blessing. May those who survived find healing, and may every family still carrying the wounds of that day know that they are not forgotten.
To the people of Israel: we stand with you.
In remembrance. In grief. In love. And in the hope that one day peace will overcome hatred.
From Americans and Iranians who believe in freedom and human dignity, our hearts are with you.
Different nations. Different histories. But today, we stand together as human beings against hatred and terror.
🇮🇱 Long Live Israel.
🇺🇸 Long Live the United States of America.
🦁☀️ Long Live the Iranian people and a free Iran.
May the bond between the people of Israel, Iran, and the United States grow stronger in a future built not upon fear, but upon freedom, friendship, dignity, and peace.
We remember the fallen.
We stand with the living.
We pray for the wounded.
We honor the survivors.
October 7 will never be forgotten.
עם ישראל חי — Am Yisrael Chai. 🇮🇱
Long live the people of Israel.
Never forgotten. Never alone. 🕯️
