In South Africa’s Eastern Cape, people and nature are flourishing, thanks to #GenerationRestoration efforts driven by spekboom—a shrub that retains water, withstands drought, and supplies fodder for livestock and wildlife when other vegetation fails.

Herewith scathing letter to @CityofJoburgZA Executive Mayor Dada Moreno from Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana dated 23 Apr 2026. https://t.co/c2Qb2nvhxk. I am wondering whether the City (and @CityPowerJhb) may be pushed into administration before the local government elections on 4 Nov 2026? @GodongwanaEnoch
Denmark is investing $83,754,486 in textbooks and turning away from its digital-first approach to education. This follows research showing that screens reduce concentration, impact mental health, and hurt student performance. Yet another dynamic to the EdTech debate.
Who is the real Donald Trump?
1. Donald Trump does not understand the meaning of honor, dignity, honesty, or martyrdom. These values are concepts that require a moral compass—something he has never possessed.
2. Donald Trump is a proven liar. He lies as he breathes—one lie on the inhale, another on the exhale.
3. For Trump, the truth is not sacred; it is disposable—used when convenient and discarded when inconvenient.
4. Donald Trump does not value human life, including the lives of American servicemen and women. To him, they are little more than props in the theater of his ego—an ego so vast that reality itself struggles to fit inside it.
5. In Trump’s world, ignorance is not a flaw—it is a lifestyle. He speaks with supreme confidence about things he clearly knows nothing about.
6. Trump mistakes volume for strength, insults for intelligence, and bluster for leadership.
7. Trump demands loyalty from everyone around him but practices none—not to truth, not to integrity, not to allies, not even to his own words from yesterday. His only loyalty is upward: to power, to the Zionist project he dutifully serves, and to the billionaire–Epstein class that owns the stage on which he performs.
8. Sometimes one almost feels pity for the orange man. Then you remember the damage he has caused—and pity quickly evaporates.
9. Trump’s greatest talent is turning every institution, every crisis, and every principle into a mirror reflecting only his empty self.
10. Trump will not be remembered in history as a statesman or a leader. Rather, he will be remembered as a warning: what happens when arrogance and hubris replace morality, and when ignorance and recklessness are handed the reins of power.
Spain’s MEP Irene Montero slams von der Leyen on Iran:
“Bombs have never brought freedom.
Iraq. Afghanistan. Syria.
These were not wars for freedom. They were wars for oil. Wars for profit
Now they are putting all of us in danger again.
If you want war — then go yourselves.”
Professor John Mearsheimer:
“From 1971 to 2021, the U.S. murdered 38 million people.”
“38 million.”
And this is the same U.S. that now wants to “liberate” Iran.
