I warned People about VFplus and they called me a mad man 😭🤣🤣.
Look at the leader of the party honourable @MulderCorn a well organised leader with integrity. We urged blacks and made it evident for them that, it is okay to vote for VFplus.
Now in the City of Tshwane the EFF is being wiped out, bunch of hypocrites. We need a VFplus, DA and ActionSA coalition!
The performance of the @VFPlus in the WC is off the charts - probably lost to many in bigger picture, but beat their best ever performance (2021) before half the votes had been counted. Incredible
Up in every other province too

I am in Detroit, Michigan, and over the next 24 hours, I will be reporting from here on the US midterm elections. Be sure to follow Maroela Media and Pretoria FM to stay up to date. I will also be posting regularly on my Facebook and X accounts regarding election day and the results.
🚨 JUST IN: Texas man says he VOTED KEN PAXTON to advance the TRUMP AGENDA
47 put himself on the ballot.
Patriots are listening in Texas and nationwide
GO, PATRIOTS, GO 🇺🇸
If a vote for a smaller party forces a coalition where my voice is heard at the table, it is not wasted.
I’m done being a spectator in my own demise.
DA allowed BELA and EWC to pass under their watch.
They care more about vote numbers than voter representation.
🚨 Bexar County says it won't brief the press on its emergency ballot bins until Election Day.
Brand new scanners jammed at at least seven early voting sites in San Antonio.
One pollworker says some jams took three to four hours to fix. Voters watched their ballots go into a bin instead of the machine.
The county's own training slides told judges to rescan those ballots on site. The Texas Secretary of State's handbook says to keep them separate and send them to central count.
Two election judges say the instructions changed in the middle of early voting.
Voters have no way to check whether their ballot was ever scanned. The county turned down an interview.
This is the Paxton Senate race in Texas' fourth-largest county. Show us the reconciliation logs now, not after the results.

BREAKING:
This morning’s cyberattack against supermarket fridges and freezers has now spread to Belgium, Sweden, Luxembourg and Estonia.
The hackers increased the temperature up to 50C. Food worth millions of euros has been spoiled.
Experts warn that such cyberattacks on supply chains and logistics can constitute a threat to national food security in many Western states.
The TOTAL DEMOLITION of the IPCC
Our latest peer-reviewed paper concludes that fossil carbon is a NEGLIGIBLE component of the net atmospheric CO₂ increase.
500 years of isotopic evidence.
Elementary mass conservation.
A devastating mathematical result.
Can someone explain to me how Greg Abbot is polling to win the governors race but Ken Paxton to lose the senate race?
Are there really a lot of Texans who are voting for both Abbot and Talarico?
QUICK EXPLAINER: What does SA's exclusion from AGOA mean? First, you need to understand what AGOA is. The African Growth and Opportunity Act is a trade deal that lets qualifying African countries export thousands of products to the United States tax-free (without paying import tariffs). Now that SA's membership has been terminated, this is how it will impact the local economy and industry:
1. Exports Become More Expensive: Without AGOA, local products entering the US will face standard import taxes. This makes South African goods higher-priced and less competitive against other countries.
2. Agriculture Hit Hardest: Produce like citrus fruit, grapes, wine, and macadamia nuts face higher tariffs.
3. Manufacturing & Automotive: Local car exporters and industrial suppliers lose tax-free benefits, driving up production and shipping costs.
4. Risk to Local Jobs: When exporting becomes more expensive, local businesses sell less. This places pressure on jobs in farming, manufacturing, and supply chains.
5. Slower Economic Growth: Losing duty-free access creates an added economic drag, slowing down South Africa's overall growth potential.
6. Diplomatic Friction: AGOA eligibility relies on criteria set by Washington. Exclusion adds to already-fragile diplomatic and trade relations between South Africa and the U.S.
So, what happens next? With the AGOA termination set to kick into effect on 1 January 2027, South Africa is focusing on expanding trade with alternative regional and global partners such as other African nations through the AfCFTA, BRICS+ countries, and European markets. Should these trade agreements be made, it could potentially help cushion the impact.

@mbaram@PirateWires Objectively, polls have been very wrong, especially about distorting the support of the right wing. Even your poll barely qualifies your statement about him.
My daughter Mattie and her husband, Daniel, joined me Friday on the campaign trail in Pearland.
Now it’s time to finish what we started. Every vote matters, and I need every Texan to show up on Tuesday. Get out and VOTE!
Do you prefer daylight later in the evening or daylight earlier in the morning? Daylight Savings Time (DST) summer hours or Standard Time in the Winter months?
My respect for Elon Musk has mostly vanished, but I still thought that at least he is a good engineer (Teslas are great cars). But that last bit also got a blow after hearing him say that it is easier to "cool things down" in space. The opposite is true. A vacuum is the best possible isolator. In space you can only dissipate heat through radiation. It is extremely unlikely these data centers in space will ever happen (and certainly not in our lifetimes).
@mbaram@PirateWires Objectively most Americans admire and love Musk. You are in a bubble, pay attention as it bursts over the next couple of years and think back on this. There are enough objective metrics you can look at in spite of "journalists" best effort at distortion.
