This is utter bullshit. When Indonesia refused to grant the Israeli under 17 team visa’s for the 2023 U-20 World Cup, FIFA stripped Indonesia’s hosting rights and moved it to Argentina. So @FIFAcom can stop with the lies.
Not one White House correspondent had the courage to come to the defense of Kaitlan Collins after the pedophile president attacked her for asking a legitimate question about the victims in the Epstein files. NOT ONE.
He went to High School in Green Bay.
He played football, baseball, and ran track.
He was a Boy Scout.
He sang in the Green Bay boy’s choir.
He was an intensive care nurse.
He worked at the VA Hospital.
He was the best of us.
They murdered him. 😢
For You "Elon Saved Free Speech" White Knight Assholes: Read the New Terms of Service Released Today
X just updated their Terms of Service effective January 15, 2026. Here's what you agreed to:
AI TRAINING RIGHTS GRAB: Everything you post becomes training data for their AI models. Every thought, opinion, creative work. You're building their models for free. No compensation. No opt out.
PERPETUAL CONTENT LICENSE: They get a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, copy, modify, and distribute your content "for any purpose" in "any media now known or later developed." Forever. They can sell it. Give it to governments. Anything.
FORCED JURISDICTION: All disputes must be filed in Tarrant County, Texas. You waive the right to join class actions. If they wrong millions of users, you sue alone in THEIR court.
ARBITRARY TERMINATION: They can delete your account "for any other reason or no reason at our convenience." Years of content, connections, reputation. Gone. Zero due process.
$15,000 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: Access more than 1 million posts in 24 hours and you owe $15,000. Per million. Journalists and researchers investigating the platform face financial ruin.
GOVERNMENT DISCLOSURE: They reserve the right to hand your DMs, drafts, and entire history to governments based on what they "reasonably believe" is necessary.
ANTI-JAILBREAK CLAUSE: Testing their AI systems, exposing censorship mechanisms, or security research is now explicitly a Terms violation. They added "prompt engineering or injection" to prohibited conduct.
ONE YEAR STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS: Discover they harmed you after 366 days? You "forever waive the right" to pursue any claim.
MAXIMUM LIABILITY $100: They destroy your business, reputation, or life through negligence? Maximum recovery: one hundred dollars.
Free speech platform. Sure.
"One million – the number of seconds that make up approximately 11.5 days.
One billion seconds, however, is approximately 31.7 years."
Some perspective on how big the R49bn the Zuma's and Gupta's stole from South Africa really is.

🇿🇦This is a very well written piece by an African about why our country is in the state it is....
‼️ The Politics of Self-Destruction ‼️
There comes a time in a nation’s life when even the educated must admit defeat — not because they have failed, but because the system rewards failure.
That dejected look on General Mkhwanazi’s face captured that exact moment — when competence meets political deployment, and logic meets the stupidity of power.
Here is a man with a BTech in Policing, an MBA, an LLB, a National Diploma in Police Administration, and is an admitted attorney of the High Court — forced to answer questions from a Parliament that confuses noise for intellect.
What we saw in that room was not governance. It was a performance — a theater of mediocrity sponsored by the taxpayer.
This is the crisis of Africa — not lack of education, not lack of talent — but the deliberate exclusion of capable minds from positions of influence.
Political deployment has become the new apartheid — it separates the loyal from the qualified. It replaces thinkers with followers and silences those who still believe in merit.
In such a country, education no longer inspires. It humiliates.
Because the child in the township sees the truth:
that the man who read all the books sits jobless,
while the one who shouts the loudest slogan drives a government car.
When young people see that power is gained through party loyalty, not through knowledge, they lose faith in school.
They drop out, not because they are lazy, but because the system has made ignorance profitable.
How do you convince a young girl in Limpopo to finish matric when she sees her councillor can’t spell “governance” yet controls millions in municipal funds?
How do you tell a boy in Mahikeng to study electrical engineering when the tender for electricity is awarded to a DJ?
That is the economic collapse we refuse to measure — the destruction of faith in education.
It’s not just corruption of money — it’s corruption of purpose.
The economy doesn’t collapse because of lack of minerals or investors.
It collapses because of mental poverty — the kind that makes a leader think a slogan can build a road, or that a struggle song can replace sound fiscal management.
Africa’s tragedy is not that we are poor.
It’s that we are mismanaged.
We export gold and import poverty.
We have diamonds under our feet and debt over our heads.
We send our best engineers abroad, while we appoint cousins to build bridges that collapse before the ribbon is cut.
Political deployment has turned public service into personal service.
Institutions are no longer centers of excellence — they are shelters for the connected.
That is why our schools fail, our hospitals die, and our police are demoralized.
Because every appointment is political, not professional.
And every professional who dares to challenge the system is pushed out — humiliated, or silenced.
General Mkhwanazi’s look of defeat was not personal.
It was national.
He carried on his face the disappointment of every competent South African trapped in an incompetent system.
And until we replace party loyalty with national loyalty,
until we restore meritocracy over mediocrity,
we will keep watching our brightest minds fade away in despair.
The revolution Africa needs today is not just political — it is intellectual.
It is time to decolonize our thinking, not just our slogans.
It is time to value results over rhetoric, books over boots, and skill over slogans.
Because when mediocrity governs excellence,
poverty becomes permanent.
So, let the message be clear:
We will no longer clap for stupidity.
We will no longer elect the loudest voice — we will elect the most capable mind.
We will no longer let our children believe that education is useless.
Because the future of Africa depends on the restoration of merit, discipline, and dignity.
