Hold people to who they are today, not the potential of who you think they could be.

Demand you are treated good today, not someday in the future.

What happened @joekent16jan19?

Here is your post from 2024 in which you said Iran has been trying to kill President Trump since 2020…

Today, in your resignation letter, you said Iran poses no threat to the US…

Did @netanyahu hold a gun to your head when you tweeted this in September of 2024?

Today, you said Israel controls the Trump admin and convinced Trump Iran was a threat… but here you are in your own words saying Iran is a threat.

See below 👇🏻

You yourself admitted Iran is a threat after they tried to assassinate President Trump.

Why are you now lying and saying Iran isn’t a threat and blaming the war on Israel?

You’re full of shit, Joe.

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.

May God bless America.

If your spouse does not trust you and they are always suspicious of you, you need to read this ...

1. Suspicion doesn't come from paranoia, it comes from patterns. People don't just wake up and start doubting you; your behavior gives them reasons to.

2. You can't demand trust while living suspiciously. Trust is earned, not begged for. If your lifestyle/actions contradicts your words, your words will mean nothing.

3. Every secret you keep is a seed of mistrust. It may look harmless now, but secrets always grow into walls that divide you & your partner.

4. The more you hide, the more your spouse imagines. The human mind fills in blanks and what it imagines is often worse than reality, so you better stop hiding things from your spouse. if you are not open or transparent, your spouse will imagine things or overthink things.

5. Lying to your spouse is not just deception. it is emotional violence. It makes them question their sanity, memory, and worth. If you want trust, you cannot be lying.

6. Suspicion is often a reflection of inconsistent behavior. People feel unsafe when your words and actions don't match. So stop complaining of the suspicion, start being consistent & truthful.

7. Once trust is broken, love alone can't fix it. It takes humility, time, brutal honesty and transparency to rebuild, not just mere apology.

8. When you become secretive, your spouse becomes investigative. Their snooping isn't the problem, your secrecy is. 👈🏽 Read that again.

White Afrikaans 'refugees' returning to South Africa due to financial concerns, difficulty adapting to American culture and feeling culturally isolated despite integrating into workplaces and schools

When U.S. President Donald Trump introduced a special refugee pathway for white South Africans in 2025, the policy sparked global attention. The program allowed Afrikaners—descendants of mainly Dutch settlers and Afrikaans-speaking South Africans—to enter the United States under claims of discrimination and violence at home.

Several thousand Afrikaners took the opportunity to relocate to the United States due to a false narrative of a non existent genocide on white farmers in South Africa.

South Africa’s government strongly rejected the claim that white citizens face systematic persecution. Officials argued that crime affects all South Africans regardless of race and that police statistics do not support the narrative of targeted anti-white violence.

The U.S. initiative prioritized Afrikaners for refugee admission, dramatically reshaping the country’s refugee system and reducing the overall annual cap to just 7,500 people. The Trump administration justified the policy by citing alleged discrimination and violence against white farmers and landowners in South Africa. The first group of Afrikaner families arrived in the United States in May 2025, greeted with media attention and political debate.

Yet, not long after arriving, some families have begun returning to South Africa, citing a range of personal and practical reasons for leaving the U.S.

One of the most common reasons cited by returning Afrikaners is the high cost of living in the United States.

Healthcare in particular can be a major adjustment. Unlike South Africa’s mix of public and private systems, medical treatment in the United States often requires expensive insurance or high out-of-pocket payments.

For some Afrikaner families, the economic trade-off simply did not make sense in the long term.

While American salaries are often higher, everyday expenses can be significantly greater than in South Africa. Housing, health insurance, childcare, and education can place heavy financial pressure on families. Many newcomers discover that even well-paying jobs can leave little disposable income once those costs are covered.

Please marry well if you're going to marry. Because divorce is expensive. Regret is exhausting. And wasted years are irreplaceable. Here are 8 non-negotiables before you say I do.

Don't marry for potential. Don't marry because everyone else is doing it. Don't marry because you've been together for years and feel like it's the next step. Don't marry because you're afraid of being alone or starting over or losing time invested. Marry because this person, exactly as they are right now, is someone you want to build a life with.

Because divorce isn't just expensive financially, it costs you emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. It drains you in ways money can't measure. And regret? Regret is waking up years later realizing you ignored every red flag, every gut feeling, every warning sign because you were too invested to walk away. That regret follows you into every relationship after.

And wasted years? You don't get those back. You don't get back the version of yourself that existed before you were broken down by the wrong person. You don't get back the opportunities you missed because you were busy trying to fix something that was never meant to work.

So here's what you need before you say "I do":

1. Shared values, not just shared interests. You can love the same music and still want completely different lives. Make sure you align on what actually matters — faith, family, money, children, life priorities.

2. Consistent character, not just good behaviour. Anyone can act right when things are easy. Watch how they handle stress, conflict, and disappointment. That's who you're actually marrying.

3. Emotional maturity, not just emotional availability. They need to communicate, take accountability, regulate their emotions, and work through conflict without shutting down or exploding.

4. Financial responsibility, not just financial potential. How they handle money now is how they'll handle it married. If they're reckless, entitled, or financially irresponsible now, a wedding won't fix that.

5. Respect, not just love. Love without respect is toxic. If they dismiss your feelings, belittle your opinions, or disrespect you in small ways now, marriage will magnify that.

6. Action, not just words. Don't marry promises. Marry proof. Marry someone whose actions consistently match what they say. Words are easy. Follow-through is everything.

7. Healthy conflict resolution, not avoidance or explosiveness. You will disagree. You will have hard conversations. Make sure you're marrying someone who can handle conflict without running, stonewalling, or making you the villain for bringing up problems.

8. They choose you consistently, not conditionally. You shouldn't have to earn their love, effort, or presence. They should choose you on good days and bad days. When you're easy and when you're difficult. Consistently. Without question.

If these aren't in place, don't walk down that aisle. Don't ignore what you see, hoping marriage will change it. Don't settle because you're tired of being single or afraid you won't find better.

Because divorce is expensive. Regret is exhausting. And wasted years are irreplaceable.

Marry well. Or don't marry at all. Your future self will thank you.

Menstrual products are used by millions of South Africans every month – but new research from the University of the Free State has found that every sanitary pad and pantyliner tested contained hormone-disrupting chemicals, even those marketed as ‘chemical-free’.

UFS scientists are calling for greater transparency, stronger safety standards, and continued research to protect consumer health.
