Oh no 😩
"8 WEEKS OFF THE ROAD: NO PARTS, NO ETA, NO COURTESY CAR FOR A 2026 CHERY TIGGO 7 PRO 🚫🚘
My 2026 Chery Tiggo 7 Pro (1.5T Prime DCT) has been sitting completely off the road and unrepaired since 17 September 2026 following an accident.
For nearly TWO MONTHS, I have been passed back and forth between Chery South Africa, Chery Boksburg, Mazda Germiston, and Action Panelbeaters—all while continuing to pay monthly vehicle finance on a car I cannot drive, plus massive out-of-pocket expenses for alternative transport.
The excuse? Outstanding parts with zero ETA, zero accountability, and zero courtesy vehicle provided by Chery while we wait indefinitely for components for a brand-new 2026 model.
Despite formal escalations to Chery Customer Care (Ref: 7a2cb410-cec9-11f1-8675-7fe0b58ac9e2) and executive management, there are still no answers.
Today, my car is parked right in front of Chery Boksburg with a message they can’t miss:
CHERY FOR SALE | 2026 MODEL | NO PARTS | NO ANSWERS | STRANDED SINCE SEPTEMBER 2026
Chery South Africa, when will you take responsibility for your supply chain and look after your customers?
Please share so Chery customers know what they are getting themselves into!! "

The Weaponisation of Language
One of the most effective tactics of the modern left has been the corruption of language itself. Words that once had clear meaning have been twisted beyond recognition - redefined to suit their agenda and silence dissent.
They call censorship “safety.”
They call propaganda “education.”
They call perversion “pride.”
They call cowardice “tolerance.”
They call patriotism “hate.”
Through manipulation of words, they’ve managed to reshape moral reality. By controlling the language, they control what people are allowed to think. Change the definition, and you change the debate.
When “man” and “woman” become “identities,” when truth becomes “offensive,” and when disagreement is rebranded as “violence,” reason itself is under attack.
It’s not ignorance - it’s strategy. Because when the meaning of words collapses, truth becomes whatever they say it is. And that’s exactly how control begins.
Language built our civilisation. The twisting of it will destroy it - unless we start speaking plainly again.
“When words lose their meaning, people lose their freedom.” - Confucius

When @CyrilRamaphosa became President, @jsteenhuisen said to him
"Mr President, please know this; your critics may sit on these benches here, but your enemies are sitting on the benches behind you. Our message to you, Mr President, is 'watch your back'."

🚨🇺🇸 🇮🇷 Vance tried to stop the Iran war before it began by using data: in January he had a pollster test how many dead Americans the public would accept... the answer was under 100
The Journal has the texts. As Trump weighed the operation, the vice president, the one voice in the room against it, reached out to Rasmussen’s polling chief and got Iran questions added to a survey, with his office shaping them, to show the president what the public would tolerate.
The answers: a 44-43 split on going to war at all, 65 percent saying Trump should ask Congress first, and 62 percent saying an acceptable death toll was fewer than 100 troops.
Vance carried the numbers straight to the Oval Office. Trump went to war anyway, and this week he said he’d do it again:
“I did the right thing. I would have done it again.”
Vance may end up as one more casualty of this war, his 2028 ambitions at least, because the record says he did everything a vice president can do short of resigning and the voters punished him anyway: he lost his own Ohio seat on Tuesday, donors are telling fundraisers “we can’t back Vance,” and Trump’s endorsement this week was “maybe he won’t run.”
The only thing that saves him is the paper trail, the January poll, the letter to Rezaei, the daily calls to Doha, proof he fought the war from inside the room when fighting it from outside would have ended his career.
He has months, not years, to turn that into a story voters believe, as DeSantis is already hiring consultants while Ossoff climbs the markets.

What's going on @elonmusk
Starlink is working a "Bait &Switch"
In my area.
It said service is $85-$120.
But once I paid @ $500 for the equipment, and activated the service. I was told the $120 per month plan, is the only one that will work in my area.
months later it increased to $130.
I got an email today saying it will be $156.
I looked into it. And the reason for these increases is because of more customers signing up in my area.
Starlink get more customers, then sticks it to the current customers.

⚠️ The fuel behind the DA and Freedom Front Plus growth among Black People ⚠️
Let’s drop the polite diplomatic speak and state the brutal truth: the ANC didn't just lose power in metros and provinces because of a bad campaign; they bled it through unadulterated greed, incompetence, and systematic looting. They are simply criminals occupying government positions.
When you treat the state like a personal feeding trough, turn public entities into cash cows, tun the country into failed Africa’s rescuer, keep half the population unemployed and force citizens to live through a decade of catastrophic load-shedding and dry taps, people stop caring about historical sentiment. They want survival. The massive migration of votes to the DA and the Freedom Front Plus isn't a betrayal of history; it is a desperate referendum on ANC failure.
The ANC and black leaders need to stop hiding behind the ghost of apartheid. Dead apartheid does not fill a dry tap, fix a collapsed sewage pipe, or secure a hijacked street. When basic governance collapses completely, citizens do not give a damn about the skin color of the leader keeping the lights on versus a corrupt, bribe-taking cadre destroying the infrastructure.
Black South Africans are sick and tired of a black leadership class that uses “struggle credentials” as a shield for pathetic performance. Competence has no race. If you can't keep the country running, pack your bags and get out of the way.

BREAKING:
The European Commission announced today which countries are under “migratory pressure” and will be able to send away some of their asylum seekers to other EU states under the “migrant relocation quotas” created by the EU’s new Migration Pact. The countries are:
🇪🇸 Spain
🇮🇹 Italy
🇬🇷 Greece
🇨🇾 Cyprus
These 4 countries will be able to put asylum seekers into a “Solidarity Pool” for 2027 from which migrants will then be relocated in other EU states.
The size of the Solidarity Pool was decided today but the information about it is being kept secret for now.
6 countries were classified as facing a “significant migratory situation” and will be allowed to request from exemptions of receiving quota migrants. Those 6 countries are:
🇵🇱 Poland
🇨🇿 Czechia
🇭🇷 Croatia
🇦🇹 Austria
🇧🇬 Bulgaria
🇪🇪 Estonia
To receive an exemption, the country’s request has to pass a QMV vote (Qualified Majority Voting) in the Council of the European Union.
Countries which are forced to take part in the Solidarity Pool will either have to take in the number of quota migrants assigned to them by the EU, pay EUR 21 000 for every quota migrant they refuse to receive or send significant resources to help the 4 countries under migratory pressure to handle the situation.
Two countries have refused to take part in the entire new migrant relocation system and its fines. Those two countries are:
🇭🇺 Hungary
🇸🇰 Slovakia
