Raskin, not Jeffries
Ossoff, not Schumer
We voted for change, not the same old shit.

😂 All those years of spewing racial hatred, screaming about killing the Boer and pretending to speak for South Africans, only to scrape together 6%. What a humiliating rejection. Maybe people have finally had enough of your poisonous bullshit. You can shout all you like small boy @Julius_S_Malema . The ballot box doesn’t give a flying f about your ego. Neither does South Africa.

The scenes outside my voting station...
The DA had a proper, well-resourced setup. Gazebo, tables, full branding. The whole operation looked super organized! Next was the PA, which I initially mistook for ActionSA. 😭
Then there was a lone ANC lady in full party regalia. No table, no gazebo, not even an umbrella.. just her, a chair, and pure determination!
And then the FF Plus representative... a Black gentleman sitting comfortably in a chair under a branded umbrella. No table either. Just him and his umbrella. 😂
The highlight was my son, a first-time voter, looking at the PA setup and asking: "Which party is this?" Before I could answer, his older sister chimed in: "That's Gayton's party. He's a criminal."
😭😭💀
HER WORDS, NOT MINE! I'm reporting what was said in the presence of witnesses! 😂

JD Vance has no chance at being the next president of the United States and neither does Marco fucking Rubio. You realize now that they’re kind of stuck. They want to run for president in 2028. They ain’t gonna do it on a Trump agenda. In fact the sooner they can get people to forget that they even know Trump the better. I mean, he’s the fucking Vice President and the other guy is Secretary of State. Remember when you called him Hitler. JD? That was the play, dickhead. You blew it

We’re quite comfortable mocking you behind your back.🤷♂️
Since I've been mostly inactive on @X for the past few years, it might help some of the losers on here who find me infuriating to know that:
Unless I follow you, I DO NOT SEE YOUR COMMENTS.
There would be no bigger waste of time in the universe than to respond to anything I post if you think I'm going to see any of it. I won't.

British Politician Fires Back at Mehdi Hasan: “If Islam Is So Peaceful, Why Does Saudi Arabia Execute People for Apostasy?”
Speaker: My side of the argument is regularly told that we are demonising Islam and whipping up fear of Islam.
But let me tell you what actually whips up fears of Islam.
9/11. The London bombings. Madrid. Mumbai. Bali. Death for apostasy. Death for blasphemy. Death for adultery. Death for homosexuality. Gender discrimination. Child marriage. Beheadings. Imprisonment for being raped.
The murder of Theo van Gogh. Death threats. Sharia patrols. Polygamous marriages.
This is what causes fear of Islam. It is not me.
We'll be told this is just the extreme fringe of Islam.
Well, look at Saudi Arabia the birthplace of Islam and custodian of its holy sites.
People are executed for blasphemy and apostasy.
But apparently, that's the extreme fringe?
Calling Saudi Arabia the extreme fringe of Islam is like calling the Vatican the extreme fringe of Catholicism. Sorry, it just doesn't work.
Then we're told violent Muslims have misunderstood Islam.
Saudi Arabia has misunderstood. Iran has misunderstood. Yemen has misunderstood.
Has there ever been a more spectacularly misunderstood religion than Islam?
I'm constantly told that I need to respect Islam. But I'm under no greater obligation to respect Islam than any other belief.
I am under no obligation to make compromises with an ideology I simply don't see as peaceful.
Why don't I see it as peaceful? Because of the evidence.
If I look around the world and see the countries where Islam calls the shots, all I see is brutality and violence imposed by the state.

The Measure of Governance: What a Number Can Say, and What We Must Do With It
Every government says it is delivering. Between that claim and the citizen sits a number.
In this clip I ask a plain question of the Ibrahim Index of African Governance: what is a number allowed to say?
A number carries an authority its reader has done nothing to earn. That is its usefulness, and its danger. So before I repeat one, I put four questions to it. What was counted? What was left out? How were the parts combined? Which edition does it come from?
@SolomonAtah and I wrote “The Measure of Governance” together. It takes the Index apart, sets out what it can and cannot tell us, and asks what a country should do with its own number. No number will build a clinic or teach a child to read. People do that, in institutions that outlast them.

🇿🇦Member of Parliament, Andile Mngxitama (MKP), posted this: _"Attacking the ears is symbolic to denote the refusal of land thieves to listen."‼️
This is a sitting MP celebrating torture. The same Andile Mngxitama who said on video: if a white person kills one black man, they will kill five white people including their children and dogs.
And what does Parliament do? NOTHING.
What does President Cyril Ramaphosa do? NOTHING.
They refused to arrest Julius Malema for chanting Kill the Boer, and they refuse to arrest Andile Mngxitama for inciting murder against white farmers, their children, even their dogs.
How can we have Members of Parliament who want farmers to be killed sitting in the same Parliament that must protect ALL South Africans? If Parliament will not defend our farmers, WE THE PEOPLE WILL.
Stop Farm Killings. Stop Hate in Parliament.
