Instead of upgrading Air Traffic Control systems, Republicans appear to be opposing fully funding the FAA. Gee, what could go wrong with this! I guess like with school shootings we should just expect more airplane crashes. 🙄

Let's hope our world turns right-side up soon!

The President of South Africa responds to President Trump’s threat to pause aid due to the recently signed law that allows the South African government to take land without compensation in certain circumstances.

South Africa is a constitutional democracy that is deeply rooted in the rule of law, justice and equality. The South African government has not confiscated any land.

The recently adopted Expropriation Act is not a confiscation instrument, but a constitutionally mandated legal process that ensures public access to land in an equitable and just manner as guided by the constitution.

South Africa, like the United States of America and other countries, has always had expropriation laws that balance the need for public usage of land and the protection of rights of property owners.

We look forward to engaging with the Trump administration over our land reform policy and issues of bilateral interest. We are certain that out of those engagements, we will share a better and common understanding over these matters.

The US remains a key strategic political and trade partner for South Africa. With the exception of PEPFAR Aid, which constitutes 17% of South Africa’s HIVAids programme, there is no other funding that is received by South Africa from the United States.

America is being taken over by a crime syndicate, Trump and Musk are stealing personal, national and international data to gain as much control over Americans and the world as possible. It is a hostile takeover.

This is neither a drill nor a movie. It’s as real as Hitler was.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

It appears to have started getting weaker as soon as Justin resigned, then Carneys visit to the daily show gave the liberals a boost. But this past week, the tariff issues has galvanized Canadians into a unified anti Trump force.
