Dear ActionSA, please humble yourselves and take that Deputy Mayor position. 😭
The DA is sitting at 34.8%, and apparently needs another 16.2% percentage points to reach the 51% mark.
We can debate coalitions, egos, political marriages and who must apologise to whom until December, but meanwhile Johannesburg is slowly becoming a documentary on urban decay.
Herman Mashaba, please tell your people that this is not the time to negotiate as if you're buying Sandton City.
Take the Deputy Mayor position, get into government and help turn this city around.
Helen Zille and Julius Malema can continue their WWE championship rivalry on the political stage. We, the residents, have other priorities.
We want refuse collected, potholes fixed, streetlights working, water flowing and electricity that doesn't behave like a visitor who only comes when they feel like it.
At this rate, by the time coalition partners finish negotiating, the rubbish will have formed its own political party and be demanding representation in council.
ActionSA must take the deputy mayor position. DA, get the government going.
We didn't vote for a coalition version of Generations with 47 episodes of negotiations and absolutely no action.
Johannesburg must work again. We move!

👏 HAMILTON: “YARDIMLARIN ENGELLENMEMESİ İÇİN İSRAİL’E BASKI YAPMALIYIZ.”
👀 Lewis Hamilton: “Bugün Mısır Kızılayı ile birlikteyim. Gazze’ye gönderilmek üzere hazırladıkları insani yardım kolilerini yüklüyorlar. Bugün, harika gönüllüleri eşliğinde Refah Sınır Kapısı’na gittiler.
Mısır genelinde 70.000’den fazla gönüllüleri var ve burada her gün 2.000’den fazla kişi, bu kolilerin mümkün olan en iyi şekilde hazırlanıp paketlenmesini sağlamak için gönüllü olarak çalışıyor. Yardımların gönderilmesi için her şey hazır.
Bu nedenle İsrail’e, Filistin tarafındaki sınır kapısını yeniden açması için gerçekten baskı yapmalıyız. Çünkü her gün yeterli sayıda yardım tırı geçiş yapamıyor.
Gazze ve Filistin’deki insanlar o kadar acil bir ihtiyaç içerisindeler ki, şu anda bu yardımlara duydukları ihtiyaç daha fazla olamaz. Bu yüzden gerçekten baskı kurmalı ve bu yardımların oraya ulaşmasını sağlamak için birlikte hareket etmeliyiz.
Burada çok büyük miktarda yardım bulunuyor. Üstelik bu merkez, Filistin’deki bireylerin ve ailelerin ihtiyaç duyduğu gıda, ilaç ve diğer temel malzemelerle dolu olan harika yardım merkezlerinden yalnızca biri.”

I am a no on #HakeemJeffries and #ChuckSchumer as majority leaders. They’re weak and in the pockets of #AIPAC. We need new leadership who is willing to push all the way. They have not met the moment. Step aside.

A quick reality check on #HakeemJeffries
"Israel today, Israel tomorrow, Israel forever!"
These are the words of Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, aka AIPAC Shakur, the individual who will be the next Speaker of the House while Gaza continues to burn.

Israel is still bombing Gaza. They never listened to the ceasefire. Now, they’re bombing the tent encampments. No morality, no decency. Jeffries and Schumer want us to support and fund this. It’s unacceptable to have them as our “leaders” when Democrats voted for exact opposite!

Hegseth won't be impeached because 11 Democrats didn't show up. But that's not the whole story. Hakeem Jeffries wasn't just an incompetent leader, he told members to "vote their conscience." That's a greenlight to miss the vote. Why? Israeli lobby wants pro-war Hegseth in place.
Vanilla_Panther retweeted
How do you know? The people who missed the vote are politicians completely in the tank for Israel like Haley Stevens and Nancy Pelosi. That's why they're voting their "conscience." Jeffries top lifetime donor is AIPAC. If you don't believe me, then he's just horribly incompetent.

The chances were always low that House Dems would elect anyone other than Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker because of how rigidly hierarchical and pro-institution they are.
But any chance of choosing someone else was permanently crushed months ago when AOC announced on Meet the Press that Jeffries was the candidate she supports for Speaker (even though he supported, armed and funded what she claims she believes is a "genocide" in Gaza and he still defends it). AOC's support made Jeffries' elevation a foregone conclusion.

The median age of a first-time home buyer in the US remains at a record high of 40, up from 32 a decade ago. The housing affordability crisis is delaying the American Dream for an entire generation.

Since March 2009, the S&P 500 has now experienced 34 corrections of 5% or more.
Every single one came with scary headlines and seemingly compelling reasons to sell.
And yet, the S&P 500 is up over 1,400% since the March 2009 low.
The lesson: You don't build wealth by avoiding corrections. You build wealth by enduring them.

One of the biggest myths in investing is that “more risk always equals more reward.”
Some risks are just plain stupid, with almost no chance of being rewarded in the long run.
There's a big difference between taking intelligent risks and blindly speculating.
