ANC screams racism at Afrikaner Bokkieweek.
But Zulu-only Reed Dance gets tax money & royal parades? Xhosa initiations fine.
Heritage for Black tribes good. White tribe bad.
This is your ‘equality.
Husband’s Cybertruck made it all the way home on FSD mode without a glitch. It's not THE Beast, but our beast! We are now officially a FULL Tesla Family. @elonmusk, do you think we can now get a Supercharger in our little town? Just one?
Elon Musk just exposed the most expensive physics failure in transportation history.
For a hundred years, nobody caught it.
Every diesel semi that crosses a mountain pays twice. Fuel to climb. Brakes to survive the descent.
At the summit, 80,000 pounds of freight holds enormous gravitational potential energy.
Free energy. Sitting right there.
Musk: “In a diesel truck, you actually don’t capture the energy of height or potential energy.”
Musk: “You have to actually spend a lot of money on expensive brakes going down the other side so you don’t run out of control.”
Diesel’s solution for a century? Destroy every watt of it as waste heat and burn through brake pads every few months.
Nobody questioned it. Not the engineers. Not the operators. Not Wall Street.
Because combustion made the loss invisible. You cannot turn momentum back into liquid fuel. So the entire industry mistook the limits of their engine for the limits of physics.
The Tesla Semi broke that assumption wide open.
Musk: “An electric semi truck is able to recapture the gravitational potential energy and in fact puts the energy back in the pack.”
Every descent charges the battery. The mountain stops being a toll.
It becomes a power plant.
Analysts keep running cost-per-mile models. Kilowatts versus gallons. Sticker versus payload.
Wrong equation entirely.
You don’t outcompete a machine that turns the terrain itself into fuel.
The trucking industry never had a fuel problem.
It had a hundred-year physics problem dressed up as the cost of doing business.
One man solved it. The rest are still buying brake pads.
I have shared Hannah's story before, but what I've never said out loud was what I saw in the photographs after her attack, and murder.
There are so many brutal farm attacks and murders in South Africa that continue to haunt me deeply, eating at all of us with every new story. But one that wakes me in the quiet hours of the night, is the unimaginable horror inflicted on young Hannah Cornelius.
This beautiful 21-year-old White Stellenbosch University student, full of life and promise, was carjacked along with her friend Cheslin Marsh just steps from safety. The gang of attackers abducted them, viciously beating Cheslin with bricks and rocks, leaving him for dead with severe injuries, including permanent hearing loss. Hannah’s ordeal was even more devastating. They forced her to consume drugs, then subjected her to hours of repeated gang rape and sodomy at a paintball park, holding her down, using condoms in a cruel attempt to conceal their crimes, leaving her with severe genital injuries, sand embedded in her body from the assault on the ground, and deep bruises on her arms and legs from being gripped so violently.
The pictures show her fierce fight for survival in the skin under her nails. Scratches she left on her attackers’ faces even after they overpowered her. Dragged to a remote Knorhoek farm road beside a vineyard, she was stabbed in the neck, beaten, and then had a massive 82-pound (37.5 kg) rock, pulled from a borehole, lifted and smashed down onto her head at least twice while she was held helpless on the ground. Her body was broken, bruised, bloodied, and exposed, her sacred parts left naked in the dirt, her face shattered by that terrible rock, her hands bearing the marks of desperate resistance, nails damaged, and dried tears mixed with blood.
I wish with all my heart I had never seen those images. I wish her mom and dad had never been forced to confront the full extent of her suffering. I so wish they never saw those images. Perhaps then, Hannah's mom would not have asked the ocean to take her, because sometimes, when I stumble upon those images, walking into the ocean and never returning, feels like mercy.
Anne-Marie van Zyl, a 33-year-old mother of two young daughters, was stabbed to death on March 8, 2014, in front of her children at her workplace, Trio Data in Spartan, Kempton Park. Ramawele, a former colleague who had resigned two months earlier, confronted her after his request for reinstatement was refused by head office.
Ramawele brought or fetched a knife (which he denied), and stabbed her multiple times. Reports indicate nine stab wounds in a brutal attack right in front of her daughters, Tathiana (then 9) and Anjankè (then 6). He denied planning the murder, bringing the weapon, stealing a red cash box, or leaving a bloody note at the scene.
This single mother was simply trying to provide for her family in what should have been a safe workplace. Instead, her children witnessed unimaginable horror, and a young life full of promise was violently ended. The grief for those little girls, now grown without their mother, and the ongoing pain for her loved ones is profound and heartbreaking.
🚨 JUST IN: President Trump takes huge VICTORY LAP after the climate change "experts" at the United Nations announce they were WRONG
"GOOD RIDDANCE! After 15 years of Dumocrats promising that “Climate Change” is going to destroy the Planet, the United Nations TOP Climate Committee just admitted that its own projections (RCP8.5) were WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!"
"For far too long Climate Activism has been used by Dumocrats to scare Americans, push horrible Energy Polices, and fund BILLIONS into their bogus research programs."
"Unlike the Dumocrats, who use Climate Alarmism nonsense to push their GREEN NEW SCAM, my Administration will always be based on TRUTH, SCIENCE, and FACT! President DONALD J. TRUMP"
This was one huge FRAUD.
Never fund the green scams again! 🔥
If you don't pay attention to South Africa, you may someday love a Marjolein Meyer, or be a Marjolein Meyer who was brutally murdered in her own home. She was beaten to death with a hammer in a savage, up-close attack that left dark, congealed bloodstains pooled on the floor near the glass door, the very spot where she drew her final breaths amid unimaginable pain and terror.
Another innocent elderly Afrikaner couple, living quietly in their home, subjected to unimaginable cruelty in the place that should have been their sanctuary. This is the ongoing torment our people endure, and it demands we never forget.
On January 9, 2014, in Langenhoven Street, Vanderbijlpark, we mourn the brutal torture-murder of 74-year-old Mr. Hendrik Frederik Nortman and the horrific ordeal of his 71-year-old wife, Mrs. Lien Nortman.
A family member, unable to reach the couple by phone, went to check on them and discovered the nightmare. Hennie was found murdered near the gate outside their home, his body covered in blood with no visible bullet wounds. It appeared he had been tortured to death after putting up a fierce fight. Reports describe him being ambushed, possibly after attackers broke into his car. His beloved wife was found tied up in their bedroom, a cable wrapped around her neck. Paramedics had to cut it off to free her. She suffered a savage physical assault with "other injuries," including what accounts describe as horrible mutilation and torture. She was rushed first to Sebokeng Hospital, then to private care, but the evil inflicted left her in a very serious condition. Tragically, some reports note she later succumbed to her injuries in ICU, including a broken back and ribs from the assault by multiple attackers. Oh, and they forgot to rob.
Paramedics at the scene confirmed the couple had been attacked days earlier in this barbaric home invasion. Seven Black males were reportedly involved in the assault on this defenseless elderly pair. No mercy, no humanity, just relentless brutality against our vulnerable White elderly.
On December 21, 2013, just days before Christmas, a gang of depraved attackers senselessly took the life of Ben van der Westhuizen, a well-known and hardworking young mechanic in Vryheid. Ben had repaired a motorcycle and was testing it in a field when the attack occurred. This was the last time he was seen alive.
His lifeless body was later discovered dumped in a field near the Farmers' Hall. Police determined the cause of death was head trauma, believed to have been inflicted by a brutal blow to the back of the head with a blunt object. All for nothing more than his cellphone. The sheer callousness of this murder, stealing a young man’s future in such a violent and pointless way, highlights the deep moral decay and lack of humanity that plagues so many of these attacks.
Ben’s death left his family, friends, and the local community in shock and mourning during what should have been a time of joy and celebration. Another innocent White South African, gone far too soon, his promising life ended in a field as the holiday lights began to shine.
These stories of young White men and women stolen in the prime of their lives, often in the most brutal ways, continue to break hearts across the country and among the diaspora. The grief for families who must bury their sons and daughters instead of sharing Christmas memories is unimaginable.
President Trump, despite immense backlash, has stood up for minority South Africans facing this unrelenting violence by supporting refuge and awareness. Ben’s memory deserves to live on through our remembrance and advocacy.
