“30 years on, South Africa still dismantling racism and apartheid’s legacy,” the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights claims. After 30 years of ANC rule by Mandela and his increasingly more corrupt klepto-commie successors, what is there to dismantle? Besides the ANC’s own racism. Apartheid has long since gone. A generation grew up without it and soon so will another. All they will know is ANC rule. And ANC rule has meant racism, violent crime and a regime so corrupt that it can’t keep the lights on, but can ally with Russia, China and Hamas.

Ford Motor Company reported a whopping $132,000 loss on each electric vehicle (EV) sold during the first three months of 2024, amassing a $1.3 billion loss. The auto manufacturer’s electric vehicle unit revealed Thursday that they experienced a 20 percent decrease in sales volume and were forced to slash prices due to low consumer demand, CNN reported. The revenue for Ford’s EV car, the Model e, plunged by 84 percent to about $100 million, which the company blamed on EV price cuts across the auto industry. “That resulted in the $1.3 billion loss before interest and taxes (EBIT), and the massive per-vehicle loss in the Model e unit,” the publication noted.​

The German city of Hamburg saw over a thousand Muslims rally on Saturday against the freedom of the press and other liberal values of the country while calling for the imposition of an Islamic caliphate. Around 1,100 gathered in the central Hamburg district of St. Georg — a progressive area of Germany’s second-largest city often identified as a gay neighbourhood — to demonstrate against what they perceived as an attempt by the media to portray all Muslims in Germany as radical Islamists. However, the rhetoric reported from the event indicated the radical positions of the group itself, with chants of Allahu Akbar (God is great or Our God is greater than yours).

Napa Valley's prestigious wineries have launched a revolt against 'abusive' county officials, accusing bureaucrats of killing the region's famous vineyards with absurd and excessive red tape. Wealthy vintners say they are being 'crushed' by 'gross regulatory overreach', which has included penalizing wineries for planting trees, making jam and conducting wine tastings on their own land. One vineyard was even fined $1million for making too much wine. There are fears that officials are cowing to 'eco-mob extremists', who view unfettered growth as a threat to their rural idyll.

The US economy is finally showing signs of cooling as growth fell to 1.6 percent in the first three months of the year. Economists polled by Reuters had predicted the rate of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) would rise to 2.4 percent. The lower-than-expected data, released by the Commerce Department Bureau of Economic Analysis, sent stocks downwards Thursday morning. The Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled 1.7 percent or 650 points while the S&P 500 lost 1.4 percent.

At least 13 financial institutions are being investigated by Republicans in Congress for colluding with the federal government to spy on Americans after the January 6 protests looking for 'extremism' indicators. The House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government led by top Republican Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is investigating 'collusion' between U.S. banks and federal agencies in the aftermath of the Capitol riot. The Biden administration worked with banks to comb through 'extremism' indicators like the purchase of a religious text, like a Bible, or searches including the terms 'MAGA' and 'TRUMP.'

Australian authorities have refused to use the “I” or “M” word to discuss the Muslim terrorist attack on a bishop. Now they’re demanding that Twitter take down a video of the stabbing on the Australian Jewish Association Twitter account. At issue is the right of X to publish a video showing the moment a 16-year-old allegedly stabbed a bishop in an Orthodox Christian Church in Sydney earlier this month. Australian authorities say the clips threw fuel on a riot that erupted outside the church after the attack and shouldn’t be available for general viewing on a global platform.

Hundreds of Texas troopers went into the University of Texas at Austin on Wednesday, in the latest standoff before authorities and pro-Palestine college students. Police have arrested at least four demonstrators after warning them they could face criminal charges if they did not disperse, as reported by the Texas Tribune. The rally at the Austin campus was organized by the university's Palestine Solidarity Committee (PSJ) chapter. The group said it was inspired by their 'comrades' at Rutgers, Yale and Columbia University, where in-person classes have been canceled due to the unrest sparked by an 'encampment for Gaza.'

The decades-old NASA Voyager 1 spacecraft has begun sending readable communications again after months of transmitting gibberish. Voyager 1 – the most distant human-made object in existence – has been sending back data from interstellar space for nearly 50 years after being launched in 1977. However, in November a glitch occurred that made the spacecraft's data about its environment and the health of its own systems unintelligible to the NASA scientists monitoring it. Famous for snapping photos of Jupiter, Saturn and their moons, Voyager 1 then returned readable communications on April 20, confirming it is still safely cruising outer space.

Hunger is rising in the United States with 12.8 percent of Americans claiming they struggled to afford food in 2022 – a 2.6 percent increase from the year prior. Information from the U.S. Department of Agriculture released October 2023 reveals that there were 17 million households who had trouble putting food on the table in 2022. The increase can be linked to a massive spike in inflation following the end of the pandemic and President Joe Biden is likely to take the brunt of the political backlash for the growing issue. Americans have lamented for the last few years about the spiking price of several food products such as meat, eggs and milk

Parents of Columbia students are being encouraged to demand refunds after the college cancelled all in-person classes as it struggles to get a grip on pro-Palestine protests. Embattled president Minouche Shafik announced that remote learning will remain in place for the college's 37,000 students until the end of the Spring semester amid the ongoing tensions. Turmoil at the university ramped up on Monday during the major Jewish holiday of Passover, when protesters camped out for the seventh day in an attempt to urge the school to divest from companies with financial ties to Israel.

Hate preacher Abu Hamza has boasted to US authorities the UK taxpayer will pick up the bill for his life if released - even putting his family on the payroll. The hook-handed cleric has told American prison bosses hard-working Britons will fund his care for “free” in his bid to be immediately discharged from his life sentence in the States on health grounds. Last night, Hamza’s handout brags sparked fury as taxpayers said they were “sick of being insulted by this tinpot terrorist.” The jihadi is currently in America’s notorious ADX Florence supermax prison - nicknamed the Alcatraz of the Rockies.
