Iranian who escaped Sharia law warns the West: "I'm Iranian. I went to prison under Islamic law. I know how it starts… and it always starts with the Left uniting with Islamists. I came to Canada for freedom. now I’m watching the exact same pattern. They appease. Weakness invites more. They will never stop." This man lived it. The West is sleepwalking into the same nightmare.

While Ramaphosa owns more luxury properties than he knows what to do with, trades cattle instead of being a president, and enriches himself through BEE while never building a business himself nor one to the benefit of others, Elon Musk rents a R850 000 3 bedroom home.

Ever wonder why nutritionists give the most cringe dietary advice? Maybe this why? The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics oversees the framework for nutritionists, including credentialing them. They also influence nutrition policy and education. But do you know who has sponsored them? General Mills Kellanova (Kellogg's) Nestle Gatorade (Pepsico) Eli Lilly Novo Nordisk to name a few. The AND has also held stock in 19 Big Food and Big Pharma companies. But, no, there couldn't possibly be any conflict of interest, could there?

US President Donald Trump turns 80 today. He is already considered one of the most consequential political leaders in the world so far in the twenty-first century. His predecessor Joe Biden was the first sitting US president to turn 80 during his term, Trump is now the second. Unlike Biden who has shied away from media interaction and public appearances, Trump's schedule is still intensive and he maintains an extremely high profile and busy agenda. This is not to say that the years are not showing. It is clear that Trump is older and that his age is starting to present challenges, but at 80, with a comprehensive daily schedule, enormous pressures and major government challenges, it is impressive what he still achieves. Trump will be over 82 and a half years old by the end of his term. Can he keep up the pace? His second term began with huge hopes in the US that he could curb illegal immigration, get inflation under control and steer the US economy in the right direction. The Democrats' policies of open borders, soft hands on criminals, overregulation, a massive expansion of the deep state in Washington and an exaggerated emphasis on DEI and a whole series of woke ideas were rejected in November 2024. Trump has partly succeeded in his agenda and partly failed. The American border is now safer, crime is at record lows and the economy is still growing and creating a lot of jobs. However, the war in Iran has caused inflation to rise again and ultimately the cost of living, fuel prices, interest rates and perceptions of the Trump administration will determine Trump's legacy in November's midterm elections and beyond. His popularity has fallen again in recent months and he is losing significant support among independent voters and parts of the working class, such as many Latin Americans. The Democrats are currently their own worst enemy with radical left candidates and ideas that make the party more unpopular than Trump and the Republicans. Over the next four months, Trump will need to quickly end the war in Iran, bring inflation down, and significantly improve perceptions of his own economic agenda if he is to lead his party to an extraordinary victory in the midterm elections and solidify his own legacy. Trump’s election in 2024 was historic. The first since Grover Cleveland that a former US president had returned to the White House after a hiatus. Today, Trump is 80 and will soon be the oldest US president ever. Petty feuds, exaggerated arrogance, pointless and sometimes ridiculous social media posts, and inflation are among his biggest enemies right now. Trump’s strength lies in his forcefulness and charisma. His way of talking to ordinary Americans about what bothers them most. This is what won him victory in 2024. He remains an enigma and a unique political phenomenon. Many critics may have been hasty in recent weeks to write the epitaph of his political legacy, but what is true is that he will have to pull a rabbit or two out of his hat to finally leave the White House in January 2029 with a Republican-controlled Congress and a comprehensive record of success during his second term.

Child Traffickers were in charge of all Science… Robert Maxwell headed the Scientific Journal System that controlled Science for decades. What else did he control? Bill Gates invested $10M in ResearchGate…that has 25 MILLION members. Epstein and Gates decided what research got amplified…

Africa holds the greatest economic opportunities for the future. While the West and rich countries in Asia are demographically declining and in an unsustainable debt trap, Africa will have to eat, work, grow. But the risks are also enormous. Population growth in Africa also means more chances for conflict and destabilization. If you know how to do business in Africa, however, the opportunities will be great. All the more reason to stay here in South Africa instead of immigrating to dwindling Western countries that are choking on debt and are being swallowed up by mass immigration.
Africa will have 2.5 billion people by 2050.  That's either the greatest economic force on earth or the biggest crisis, depending entirely on policy.

One person helped build companies spanning electric vehicles, space exploration, brain-computer interfaces, AI, and underground transportation. The combined value created is measured in trillions. That's not just wealth creation. That's industrial-scale innovation.

the ANC should have embraced Elon Musk as a South African and capitalized on his genius 🤔 We should have had Tesla and Space X factories. Instead the ANC shunned him because he wouldn't give ANC fat cats a 30% share in his business finance.yahoo.com/markets/ar…

People call the way I eat extreme. One guy even told me I have an eating disorder. This weekend I stood in a field in Somerset with hundreds of people who eat exactly the same way. Clear eyes. Strong bodies. No medications. It does not look extreme to me. It looks like health. I am usually the one in the room with the uncomfortable opinion. The one who questions the guidelines. The one whose patients get better doing the opposite of what they were told. This weekend I was just one of the crowd. And it felt extraordinary. People who reversed conditions their doctors told them were permanent. People who stopped the medications they were told they would need forever. People who simply got tired of feeling terrible and decided to do something about it. I spent two days listening to people who say out loud what most of their profession will not. An honest conversation about what actually works. And I finally got to meet the fantasric Robert Kiltz, MD Have you ever been told the way you eat is extreme?

"Elon Musk gave an incredible service nobody like him, because he's an incredible patriot. The good news is that 90% of the country knows that and they appreciate it and they really appreciate what he did. I just want to thank Elon and all of his people”
