Dear South Africa 🇿🇦

The @Our_DA plans on eliminating your medical aid Tax credits to fund free services in PRIVATE hospitals to 'specific groups', rather than simply fixing our Public health care system. Which is already free.

They call it "Health Justice".

One of the craziest things about the UK rape gang scandal is that it's largely considered a 'right wing' concern.

In a sane, serious country, it would be completely bipartisan. In fact, it wouldn't even be seen as a political issue, but one of basic justice and morality.

Harvesting just one kidney from 20% of America’s politicians would give a new kidney to EVERY SINGLE PERSON currently on the transplant waiting list.

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

A monumental goal.

Here is what the DBE did in 2024. David Maynier as head of education in the Western Cape said nothing.

[Acclaimed Journalist @Jonathan_Witt]

David Maynier doesn’t wear a mask indoors, probably because he knows they don’t work, but his Department of Education forces children as young as 6 to wear them for up to 8 hours every day.

[Malcolm Applewhite @mal_apple]

@DavidMaynier At least you can't forcibly mask a tree like you did my kid during Covid.

@BigDaddyLiberty @geordinhl @Our_DA His governance model is akin to Robin Hood.
He steals from the rich through ever increasing taxes, shafts the gaves and spends the money in areas that don't even vote for the DA.
Vote in alignment with your values. The DA can get lost!

[Acclaimed Journalist @Jonathan_Witt]

Lots of anger in the replies here. Unfortunate that people, unsurprisingly, can’t figure out laws of unintended consequences.

It doesn’t matter what is legal or illegal and it doesn’t matter whether you agree with any of that - fining taxpayers won’t change illegal immigration.

@NYCMayor Sit down destroyer and communist. I repeat myself. Just sit down.

[Malcolm Applewhite @mal_apple]

@GavinNewsom You are a selfish idiot.

[Malcolm Applewhite @mal_apple]

@SenWarren The man creates. You want to steal.
Demonic.

YouVersion not only carries The Passion Translation after YEARS of it being exposed as sectarian, unreliable (according to numerous respected Christian scholars), misleading, and recently being exposed even more as not even being translated in many places but copied and pasted from other works, they also promote it with ads as recently as today.

This isn’t just a translation I don’t like. It would be childish to make such a stink over that. It’s an affront to the Word of God and the people of God. If you think I am overreacting I would just let ask you to consider doing a bit of research first.

🧵Open Letter to the Minister of Home Affairs, @Leon_Schreib

Concerns about the proposed Digital ID System

Dear Minister Schreiber,

@LexLibertasOnX is a think tank and advocacy group committed to the promotion of basic freedoms and the principles of constitutionalism. In this sense, our central aim is to promote decentralisation and self-governance for the various peoples of South Africa. We also take a stand against particular policy ideas that we believe to be counterproductive to the promotion of decentralised governance.

One such issue is the proposed digital ID system.

We have recently submitted our concerns about the proposed digital ID system to your office, and we have opened a channel through which members of the public could express their concerns. Within days, thousands of people have added their names to our submission. Support for our opposition to the digital ID system is still coming in. For this reason, we will add this to the submission that we already presented to your office at a later stage.

This strong public reaction reflects deep and widespread concern about the direction your Department is taking. While the proposal is presented as a technical improvement aimed at greater efficiency and fraud reduction, we believe it represents something far more serious.

We do not believe that the public should be asked to simply trust that this infrastructure will be secure and free of abuse. The design of the system itself — particularly the mandatory logging of verifications and the broad discretionary powers granted to the Director-General — makes abuse not only possible, but likely over time.

In this sense, there are several concerns that we wish to bring under your immediate attention. We will do so one by one. Thereafter, we will conclude with a list of questions with regard to which we would appreciate your answer.

[Wesley Hunt @WesleyHuntTX]

Hey Jasmine…

Black pilot here.

I think you missed the plot.
Then again, that’s becoming a pattern.

I graduated from West Point.
I went through Army flight school.
I learned to fly the AH-64 Apache.
I deployed to combat and flew 55 combat missions over Baghdad.

Nobody handed me a cockpit because of my skin color.

Nobody lowered the standards for me.

Nobody looked at me and said, “Let’s check a diversity box.”

That’s what people like you don’t seem to understand.

Suggesting that Black pilots, Black engineers, Black doctors, or Black leaders need special preferences to succeed is not empowering, it’s insulting.

I didn’t want a different standard.
I wanted the same standard.

And when you’re flying into combat, the American people don’t care what race the pilot is.

They care whether the pilot is qualified.

Merit isn’t racist.
Excellence isn’t discriminatory.

And reducing every achievement to skin color says far more about your worldview than it does about mine.

@jsteenhuisen Look, atbthis juncture it is not difficult to show growth with everthing so bad in SA at the moment.

[Robert Pringle @RobertP16751869]

The DA told farmers it was their party. Then this happened. 🧵

1/ SA's worst FMD outbreak. All 9 provinces. A national crisis.

A KZN farmer emails the minister — thanking him for vaccines, offering to help coordinate the rollout.

John Steenhuisen's chief of staff Jana le Roux forwards it to the DG and DDG with one line: "for some amusement."

2/ She has no agriculture background. She's a corporate lawyer who followed Steenhuisen from Cape Town city hall into the GNU.

Steenhuisen's response when it went viral? "I requested the person to apologise."

She kept her job.

3/ This is the same ministry that removed veteran FMD expert Dr Danie Odendaal for publicly questioning the vaccine strategy.

Mock the farmers trying to help. Fire the experts trying to fix it.

Then ask for an apology and move on.

This is the DA's "agriculture reset." 🌾

[Malcolm Applewhite @mal_apple]

@ZaWJBek @jsteenhuisen @BigDaddyLiberty For sure. He is spineless! A weak man ina suit pretending he is important when in actual fact he is a disgrace to all this e-mail that voted for him.
Thankfully, I never did!
