[Richard Dawkins @RichardDawkins]

I am bewildered, and not very impressed, by the visceral, naked, irrational hatred spat out by some defenders of Jason Arday. If a Cambridge professor is accused of being an unqualified charlatan, the accusation might be racially motivated. On the other hand it might not, depending on the evidence. The correct question to ask is not, ”What is the colour of his skin” but “Is it in fact true that he is an unqualified charlatan?” Please examine the evidence before leaping to the assumption of racism.
As for the idea that journalists “piled in on him” and “hounded him to his death”, most attacks were against Cambridge University. Jason himself was widely regarded as an unfortunate victim of foolish promotion way beyond his ability to cope. In appointing him to a professorship for which he was manifestly unqualified – in ludicrously describing him as “the best in the world” – certain senior members of the university showed a level of patronising condescension towards black people that could fairly be described as racism, while at the same time making him tragically vulnerable to such attacks as came his way.

@LeaBourseFR Brussels' reaction:

[Alice VL @RiseAgainstEvil]

Four armed scavengers walked onto a farm in Tshamutumbu, Vhembe, Limpopo on Saturday morning and treated a working man like prey.

Around 11:30 he was busy on the land when they hit him. Firearm. Knife. They demanded his white Toyota Land Cruiser, R700 000 of hard-earned machinery, forced him into the loading bay of his own truck, covered his face so he couldn’t see where they were taking him, and drove off with him as cargo. They dumped him at another farm near the Limpopo River like a used bag of rubbish, then continued in his vehicle. The Land Cruiser was later found abandoned in the middle of the river, battery and spare wheel already stripped. Classic border-scavenger behaviour.

No name released. No photos of the victim. No word on the cuts, bruises or trauma from being overpowered, bagged and driven away by four armed men. Just another farm attack quietly noted by SAPS while the animals who did it are still free.

This is not “crime.” This is the open season that has been declared on farming communities while the ANC government pretends rural terror is just another statistic. Men with guns and knives walking onto productive land, kidnapping the owner, stripping his vehicle and dumping both in the river, and the official response is a polite appeal for information.

How many more faces covered in the back of their own vehicles? How many more families left to pick up the pieces while the political class looks the other way?

The thugs who did this are still walking free. The farm is still exposed. And the pattern keeps repeating because nobody with power is prepared to call it what it is.

This is a great question

[Southpaw @OriginalVander]

Htf will kindness win, when kindness is gleefully exploited as a weakness? Did kindness defeat Mau Zedong, Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler? Trust in human kindness fuelled the Holocaust, the Great Purge, the Killing Fields. Banking on only the kind part of human nature is unbalanced

🇺🇸 Stephanie White snapped after people accused her of not having Sophie Cunningham’s back.

She took that personally.

After finally watching the replay, she called the play “egregious.” Then she said exactly what she meant:

“Kindness will win! I stand by them, everyone else can GO TO HELL!!”

Bit awkward. Most of them voted for him and his policies, ain’t it?

[CONSTITUTION X 🇺🇸 @ConstitustionX]

🚨 TOTAL MAYHEM IN NEW YORK CITY! 🚨
COMMIE MAYOR ZOHRAN MAMDANI’S radical “tax the rich” second-home surcharge has exploded into pure chaos!
The city first flagged NEARLY 1 MILLION PROPERTIES… then frantically walked it back to only 17,000 after the backlash hit like a tidal wave!
Homeowners are SUING IN DROVES, screaming that the rollout is a complete debacle and that the city is now FORCING them to prove they live in their OWN homes… or get crushed by this punishing tax!
COURT ON MONDAY.
This isn’t policy. This is a full-blown socialist disaster unfolding in real time. New Yorkers are revolting. The system is melting down.
Who’s next?

In a world full of Megan Rapinoes, be a Sophie Cunningham.

That's the @MYANC motto: "Poverty for thee, but not for me."

@CyrilRamaphosa is the greatest example of a champagne socialist.

🚨 NOW: It’s 1:30am here in DC, and President Trump JUST touched down on Air Force One

Thankfully, he’s safely back on American soil 🙏🏻

Despite MASSIVE time zone shifts, a late arrival, and around the clock work, 47’s schedule starts at 8am today.

Mind boggling how he does it.

@Music8924284878 @SA_Chery TBH, you’ve missed a lot of red flags prior to buying it.

Why it feel acceptable to the ANC...

[Skye @SkyeZedA]

How did we end up in a position where some of the least competent people are running the country, taking most of our hard-earned income and living lavishly at our expense while we struggle to get by?

We accept the lies. We accept the corruption and theft. We accept attempts to interfere in our lives and livelihoods. We accept them making it harder to build businesses, create jobs, and get ahead. We complain, adapt and just keep paying.

At what point do we stop accepting it?

How do we end this?

@JimmysSeafood Do they advise on how lobsters should be killed before being boiled?

@RenaldoGouws If Steenhuisen survives this, the DA won’t.

[Southpaw @OriginalVander]

@RenaldoGouws John Steenhuizen does not know me. Yet he branded me a nationalist, a tribalist, a racist, because I am an Afrikaner. And the DA is by implication endorsing this, by keeping and placating him.
It will be a cold day in hell before I vote for the DA again.
