🎉 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JUAN SMITH! THE FLANKER WHO SURVIVED FIVE SURGERIES TO WIN IT ALL TWICE 🇿🇦
There are flankers who play the position with craft and guile. And then there are those who play it like a threat to public safety. Juan Smith belonged firmly in the second category. Born on 30 July 1981, in Bloemfontein, he turns 45 today.
Happy Birthday, Juan. From all of us at Just Plain Sport — you turned five surgeries and a written-off career into a Heineken Cup medal and a 70th Test cap; that is not a comeback story, it is a refusal.

🇿🇦 SOUTH AFRICAN SWIMMERS SIGN OFF IN STYLE: SIX MEDALS ON THE FINAL DAY AT TOLLCROSS 🏊
Six medals. One session. A four-time Commonwealth Games record breaker and a piece of sporting history that will never be matched again.
That was Wednesday night at Tollcross International Swimming Centre, where the South African swimmers closed out the pool programme at Glasgow 2026 in a way nobody in that arena will forget in a hurry.

It was a simple narrative. A single virus caused paralysis. A vaccine saved us.
But what if the story is wrong?
Polio outbreaks followed a strange pattern: they peaked in summer, faded in fall, and vanished by winter. That's not how a highly contagious virus behaves—it's how a seasonal toxin behaves.
Consider this: lead arsenate was widely used as a pesticide, especially in apple orchards, during the very months polio cases spiked. The symptoms of lead arsenate poisoning—nausea, vomiting, muscle cramps, headache, paralysis—bear a striking resemblance to polio.
And here's the kicker: secondary transmission among household contacts was negligible. In hospitals, children with polio were placed in open wards—and no one else got sick. In animal experiments, no animal transmitted the disease to another, no matter how intimately exposed.
Domestic animals—chickens, dogs, horses, cattle—often exhibited paralytic diseases during polio outbreaks, suggesting an environmental link.
What if we've been treating a poisoning as an infection?

The Real Anthony Fauci became the #1 non-fiction hardcover bestseller despite being the most censored book of the decade. Bookstores, including national chains, refused to carry it. Libraries refused to carry it. Every major newspaper declined to review it. The New York Times refused to publish a paid advertisement for the book and made it #7 on its bestseller list, even though it outsold any other book by thousands of copies.
YouTube took down videos of a book signing. Amazon shadow banned it. Twitter wouldn’t let the publisher promote it.
Despite all of that, 1.4 million Americans bought the book because they were tired of the lies and they wanted their freedom back.
Then today, with hundreds of millions of Americans demanding the truth, Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times at his Senate hearing. The American people waited six years for answers. Today, they got silence. But that silence told us all we needed to know.
Thank you, @SenRandPaul, for your relentless pursuit of truth, transparency, and accountability. 🇺🇸
Everyone saw the crash of @seppkuss on stage 20 of the #tdf2026 but how lucky was he?!
Well pretty lucky… this is the spot where he came off and what’s over the netting! It’s usually not there so this was a very smart call 😮💨🥵

News🇬🇧💉: "I'm unemployed, unemployable and have been struck off from my medical practice, banned from working with children and vulnerable adults - all because I spoke out about the deadly CV19 JABS".
Dr David Cartland was one of the leading voices in the UK during the draconian CV19 Era, for his troubles his life was destroyed by the 'Deep State' and radical left.
This man should be viewed as a true Brit and national bally hero. Well done to our mate @Iromg and his team for getting this good man onto their platform.
History will speak of him with love and affections, whilst Johnson, Sunak, Starmer, Sturgeon, Whitty, Vallance, Dr Hillary, Matt Hancock, Jonathon Van Tamm, Nadhim Zahawi, Jason Leitch, Mark Drakeford, Sajid Javid and so many others will be judged as filth.

During the early days of the "pandemic", Trump was advised every step of the way by 'experts' who knowingly deceived and misled him with the intent to:
Control both our country and a US President.
Several times I noticed Trump rolling his eyes or biting his tongue.
But this was a pandemic and these were the experts, right?
Birx and Fauci lied to Trump over and over, and he based his decisions on their recommendations.
And THOSE decisions impacted and still shape our current lives.
Imagine what would have happened if Trump went against them and kept the country open for business.
EVERY covid case and casualty would have been BLAMED on him.
Trump would be serving a life sentence for killing people. (Ironic, isn't it?)
Then there's "Warp Speed", another Lib Trump-trashin talking point.
Trump's part in Warp Speed was removing red tape in order to get a SAFE and EFFECTIVE vaccine to us more quickly, because again, the 'experts' said that's what was needed to safely open this country.
Trump was in a BIG HURRY for ALL OF US to get back to business, and back to our normal lives.
Trump did not create the jab!
He trusted that Big Pharma would actually have legitimate vaccine trials and not kill us.
Trump did what he was told to do.
I will always remember him being shot down by Birx and Fauci for speaking about hydroxychloroquine as "seems to be pretty good" at treating Covid.
Trump was right.
🚨 BREAKING: Dr. Fauci thought Biden’s presidential pardon was going to protect him forever — HE WAS WRONG! 💥
Not only is he facing a Congressional CONTEMPT vote for refusing to answer questions, but Florida is stepping up with a full STATE-LEVEL investigation where a federal pardon can’t protect him!
Senator Ashley Moody completely exposed him. Fauci couldn’t answer a single basic question about what he did to our country and took the 5th every single time!
You can’t hide from accountability forever. Huge respect to Florida for continuing to lead the fight against DC overreach! 🇺🇸🔥

Anthony Fauci is the perfect exemplar of why pride is the root of all of the seven deadly sins. He is swimming in an infinity pool of grandiosity and narcissism. His need for validation from the cool kids (Hollywood celebrities) was greater than his responsibilities as a public health officials. It is a tragic tale of astounding self-love.
FROM PIETER DU PLESSIS.
This morning at around 8:00, our car broke down on the off-ramp from the R300 onto the N2. Without any warning, it simply lost all power and came to a complete stop.
We called our insurance to arrange a tow truck and asked a friend to come and fetch us. Sitting stranded on that stretch of road was unsettling. Many people in Cape Town know its reputation, and we couldn’t help but feel vulnerable while we waited.
Just a few minutes later, Officer Lerato Moletsane stopped behind us. She immediately checked that we were safe and stayed with us until the tow truck arrived and our friend collected us.
Officer Lerato, thank you for your kindness, professionalism and willingness to help complete strangers. Your presence brought us real peace of mind at a stressful moment. People like you remind us that there are still dedicated public servants who genuinely care.
It’s heartbreaking that so many South Africans feel anxious when they find themselves stranded on the side of the road. We hope for a future where no one has to fear for their safety in moments like these.
Thank you again, Officer Lerato. We will never forget your kindness.
WELL DONE OFFICER LERATO.

And the rest. We have the receipts.
Correctional Services Minister Pieter Groenewald says he stopped a bread tender where taxpayers were paying
R24.50 per loaf to a contractor who didn't even own a bakery. The contractor was subcontracting the bread for about R15 and pocketing around R1 million a month.
Groenewald launched a plan to make prisons self-sufficient by building internal bakeries. Now inmates bake their own bread for about R8 per loaf, and prisons are 97% self-sufficient.
