I’ve been working with Zak and ⁦@Daily_Express⁩ for a few months this now and here’s the latest collaboration about Rochdale, ⁦@Keir_Starmer⁩ and his inhumane treatment of the most vulnerable children. Still horrifies me today … youtu.be/gXhxBoFEorU

Gelukkige Stigtingsdag! 6 April 1652: Aankoms van Jan van Riebeeck Die opperstuurman van die Drommedaris het om 14:30 op 5 April 1652, Tafelbaai die eerste keer gewaar. Dié skip was een van die drie skepe waarmee kommandeur Jan van Riebeeck op 6 April 1652 aan Tafelbaai geland het om 'n verversingspos vir die VOC te stig. Die ander twee skepe was De Goede Hoop en die Reijger, wat hulle om 04:00 die volgende oggend by die Drommedaris aan die Kaapse kus aangesluit het. Die skepe was op 6 April naby die kus vasgemeer, terwyl Adam Hulster, die boekhouer, en die onderstuurman, Aernt van leveren, per sloep vertrek het om Tafelbaai te verken. Hoewel Jan van Riebeeck en sy geselskap nie self op 6 April 1652 aan die Kaap voet aan wal gesit het nie, het hy self hierdie dag as die verjaarsdag van die nedersetting beskou.

John Ʌ Konrad V@johnkonrad·
NATO is in far bigger danger than anyone realizes. And the reason has nothing to do with defense budgets. The real danger is psychological. It’s cultural. Europeans didn’t just free-ride on American security for 80 years. They built an entire identity around the idea that they evolved past the Americans protecting them. That identity is now the single biggest obstacle to Western survival. And the darkest irony is: we helped build it. After World War II, Europe wasn’t just economically shattered. Its culture was in ruins. The cities, the universities, the concert halls, the museums. Rubble. The Marshall Plan rebuilt the economy. But culture wasn’t a priority. Not at first. Then the Iron Curtain dropped. And suddenly culture became a weapon. American diplomats, academics, artists & scholars flooded Western Europe. We funded their universities. Supported their orchestras. Rebuilt their museums. Promoted their intellectual life. Not because European culture needed saving for its own sake. Because Eastern Europeans were struggling for Maslow’s mist basic needs. We needed the view from the other side of that Wall to be intoxicating. So America built Western Europe into a showcase of self-actualization. Art. Philosophy. Cafe culture. Long vacations. Universities where people studied literature instead of surviving. We were manufacturing jealousy. And it worked. The Wall came down. But here’s what no one accounted for. When you give a society self-actualization on someone else’s tab long enough, they forget it was a gift. They start believing it was organically theirs. And when they look at the country that funded it all, a country busy building aircraft carriers and semiconductor fabs and shale fields instead of reaching the Maslow’s pinnacle. An overweight American in a ball cap who can’t tell Monet from Pissarro. Who eats fast food. Who drives a truck. Who builds strip malls instead of piazzas. And to a culture trained in aesthetics but stripped of strategic awareness, that American looks uncivilized. So the arrogance takes root. And once a culture decides another is beneath them, they stop listening. Americans say wars are sometimes necessary: crude. Oil is the backbone of prosperity: unsophisticated. Kids build companies in garages that reshape the planet: crass. Wall Street finances the global economy: vulgar. Europe has no world-class technology sector. No military capable of strong defense. No energy independence. No AI capacity. What Europe has is culture. The culture we paid for at the expense of us reaching Maslow’s pinnacle. For decades that was fine. We funded the museums, protected the sea lanes, and tolerated the sneering because the arrangement worked. Then Europeans stopped keeping the contempt private. They started saying it to our faces. In their media. In their parliaments. At every international forum. “Americans are stupid. Americans are violent. Americans are a threat to democracy.” We could have moved the Louvre to NY. We could have built a Venice here. We could have stolen your best artists, designers, philosophers and more… like your conquering armies did for centuries. Instead we funded them. And all we asked for in return was to let us visit. You don’t have the military to defend your borders. You don’t have the technology to compete. You don’t have the energy to heat your homes without begging dictators. What you have is an 80-year superiority complex FUNDED BY AMERICANS, protected by American soldiers, and built on the false belief that self-actualization is civilization. It isn’t. Civilization is the ability to sustain itself. By that measure, Europe isn’t a civilization at all. It’s a dependency with better wine. That’s not a threat. It’s a weather report. Build a Navy. Or don’t. But stop lecturing the people who made you “better than us” Our “crudeness” our “stunted liberal education” our “ugly strip malls” are because we sacrificed our culture to support yours.

Her advice when someone calls you a racist Zionist? Don’t get defensive. 𝐅𝐥𝐢𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭. “𝘋𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘴𝘢𝘺, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘨𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦, 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘐’𝘮 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘵. 𝘚𝘢𝘺 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘥: 𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘮 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐’𝘮 𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪-𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶. 𝘚𝘰 𝘐’𝘮 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵 𝘐𝘴𝘳𝘢𝘦𝘭”. Then she loaded the rhetorical ammunition: “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘑𝘦𝘸𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘪𝘨𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘬𝘦𝘺𝘴. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘑𝘦𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘤 𝘰𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘶𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘨𝘰𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘬∗𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘑𝘦𝘸𝘴”. The question that ends the exchange: “𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘢 𝘡𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘵, 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘐 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵?” This is what’s been missing from the Jewish response to the tidal wave of campus harassment, workplace hostility, and social media mob attacks since October 7th. Not more defensiveness. Not more “let me explain the nuance” hand-wringing. 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞. Make 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 answer for the ideology they’re defending. Force 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 to explain why they’re allied with a movement whose founding charter calls for the genocide of Jews. Phillips wrote this book after visiting Jewish communities in Britain, America, and Australia that were “struggling to cope with the relentless onslaught of lies, defamation and attacks” since October 7th (𝘑𝘦𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘭𝘦). The book covers how to handle verbal ambushes, psychological isolation, and what she calls the paralyzing “red mist” of anger that prevents effective response. Her closing line: “𝘋𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘦, 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘵”. 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠. 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠.

BREAKING: Lebanese Christians are now going from house to house and kicking out every Hezbollah Shia Muslim hiding in Christian neighborhoods. A Christian man and his wife were killed earlier because Hezbollah is using Christians as human shields in the war they started against Israel. The only way is to expel every single one of them.

NEW: more sickening allegations aimed at Keir Starmer and the CPS of the rape gang scandal. These are some of the most horrendous allegations about the treatment of victims, that I’ve ever heard. Including one victim allegedly being called a ‘teenage pimp’ and branded a ‘paedophile’ by the CPS. This is the Rochdale case that Starmer boats he took charge of. How much of it did he sign off on? Incredible work by @JournoZak as ever. Please watch his full report in the comments below.

“Sharia for thee, but not for me.” While the Islamic Regime rapes, mutilates, and massacres women for refusing to wear a hijab or daring to speak out against them… …the daughters of Regime leaders are drinking, partying, eating caviar, and living a life of luxury in the West.

The current ANC has become a betrayal of everything the Freedom Charter stood for. The 1955 Freedom Charter proudly declared: "South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and white" , with equal rights for every person, no discrimination on the basis of race, colour or belief, and all discriminatory laws repealed.Yet today's ANC has turned its back on that non-racial vision and replaced it with state-sponsored racial discrimination against white South Africans: B-BBEE and race-based procurement that openly favours "black" people over whites in jobs, tenders and contracts. Employment Equity quotas that force companies to meet racial targets , and in 2025, the ANC even instructed employers to use the old apartheid-era Population Registration Act (long repealed) to classify workers by race. Pure racial engineering. Land expropriation policies that target white-owned farms while ignoring the Charter's call for land shared among those who work it. Even Thabo Mbeki , former ANC president , has slammed his own party for abandoning non-racialism, calling it a "black party" that now targets white people instead of building the "brotherhood" the Charter promised. The ANC still parades the Freedom Charter for votes, but their laws and actions prove the opposite: they govern by race, punish competence, entrench division, and enrich a connected elite while the country burns with unemployment, crime and failing services.This is not redress. This is reverse apartheid dressed up as "transformation". The ANC has betrayed the Freedom Charter and betrayed South Africa. Non-racialism is dead under their rule , replaced by legalised anti-white racism that hurts everyone in the long run.Time to scrap these racist laws and return to the real spirit of 1955: equal rights for all, not racial revenge. 🇿🇦

Jesús Enrique Rosas - The Body Language Guy
So while a wounded American Colonel was hiding in a mountain crevice at 7,000 feet in Iran with nothing but a pistol and a prayer, and the CIA was running a fake rescue convoy to confuse the IRGC, and MQ-9 Reapers were methodically deleting anyone who got within two miles of him, and special operators were prepping to fly INTO Iran, fight their way to a ridge, extract one man, have two planes get stuck in the sand, blow them up, fly in three MORE planes, fight their way OUT... The American left saw that the White House had gone quiet and decided: clearly, Trump is dying at Walter Reed. They posted old video from the Butler assassination attempt as breaking news. They cited "credible reports." A guy literally drove to Walter Reed and reported back: no motorcade, no activity, roads open, nothing happening. Didn't matter. The narrative was already at a million views. Trump was in the Oval Office the entire time, monitoring a rescue op so complicated it already has a Wikipedia page. And then Easter morning. The Colonel is safe. Every American is home. And Trump posts: "Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards. Praise be to Allah." On Easter. Signed "President DONALD J. TRUMP." Say what you want about the man. There is no one on earth doing whatever this is. A Christian president threatening to flatten Iran's power grid and then signing off with an Islamic prayer on the holiest day of his own religion, twelve hours after his military blew up their own planes inside enemy territory rather than leave them behind. The left thought he was in a hospital bed. He was ordering commandos into Iran. This is going to be the weirdest movie ever made
