White People In South Africa Should Stop Panicking About Losing Their Land

Land reform is a key issue in South Africa, due to the long history of dispossession of indigenous populations by white settlers. Progress has been painfully slow over the past 24 years, but the question of land is now suddenly at the top of the political agenda. A major controversy erupted at the end of February following a motion adopted in parliament, tabled by the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and modified by the ANC, which started the process of potentially amending the constitution to allow for the expropriation of (white-owned) land without compensation, and its subsequent redistribution (to black people.) In March, the main opposition party, the Democratic Alliance, sent out ...
BuzzFeed Is Publishing NYPD Disciplinary Records, and That's a Very Big Deal

Two of America's biggest states, New York and California, keep police misconduct info secret. That's starting to change.It's easy to feel cynical after glancing at just a couple of the 1,800 New York Police Department (NYPD) disciplinary records published today by BuzzFeed. It's no fun to see cops losing a few vacation days for behavior that would have gotten you fired from your own job. But let's be happy that this database was published in the first place. The BuzzFeed files feature NYPD misconduct records from the years 2011 to 2015. The media outlet received the records through an anonymous source, and it worked painstakingly to verify their authenticity before ...

The president's controversial, unconstitutional, dumb Syria strikes are insane—and just might mean we can start talking seriously about politics again.Last week President Trump launched military strikes against Syria, as punishment for the Assad regime's apparent use of chemical weapons in its ongoing civil war. The actions were supplemented by leaders of France and Britain, who said the attacks are a protest against the use of chemical weapons, not a call for regime change. Trump, who only weeks ago was calling for the pulling of all U.S. troops from the region, said that the United States will "sustain this response until the Syrian regime stops its use of prohibited ...

Well I want you guys to know that I write about a lot of stuff besides the Bible. After 33 years of research I have finally solved the crime of the century (at least in my neck of the woods). Although I am 99.9 % certain that I know who the psycho who committed the Calder Road Murders is, I can't actually say "It was" and have instead substituted "Was it" for now. But feel free to read that anyway you want to. Before publishing this, let me add that at one time I, being her boyfriend, was the prime suspect, and was even # 1 on Houston's Most Wanted. Without further ado, here is my answer to the League City police arresting me and Crime Stoppers and ABC putting ...

U.S. stocks rallied on Monday, with major indexes gaining about 1% as optimism persisted over the first-quarter earnings season and as geopolitical tensions showed signs of fading. The reaction of the markets about the ease of international tensions is NOT about Trump or Jesus; it is about confidence of and about the world around us; for a while there I was worried, too.

Using a test panel of participants from every major population group, we spent more than 80 hours testing five DNA services and think that AncestryDNA is the best service for most people. While every service has its pluses, and areas that could use improvement, our pick showcases data that’s easy to understand. Aside from having the largest DNA reference pool, AncestryDNA is an affordable resource that efficiently finds living relatives and traces ethnic roots. If you’re looking to delve deeper and want to gather data beyond what traced ethnicity offers, our upgrade pick, Family Tree DNA, makes this possible. Its testing options are more expansive and the service has genealogy ...

Last month, Chick-fil-A opened its fourth franchise in Manhattan. Even though customers seem thrilled and the company appears to be thriving, some on the Left aren’t happy. On Friday, the New Yorker published a story with a headline only they could love: “Chick-fil-A’s Creepy Infiltration of New York City.” Not to be outdone, they tweeted an even worse headline, pulled directly from the article. The New Yorker ✔ @NewYorker Chick-fil-A’s arrival in New York City feels like an infiltration, in no small part because of its pervasive Christian traditionalism. http://nyer.cm/yrvv2R0 1:15 PM - Apr 13, 2018 From this and the article itself, one would think ...
Caught in a Lie, US & Allies Bomb Syria the Night Before International Inspectors Arrive

The US, Britain and France trampled international law to launch missiles against Syria, claiming to have “evidence” of the government’s use of chemical weapons. That evidence is based on terrorist lies. After a week of outrageous tweets and proclamations by POTUS Trump, which included continued accusations that Syria’s president ordered a chemical weapons attack on civilians in Douma, east of Damascus, with Trump using grotesque and juvenile terminology, such as “animal Assad,” the very evening before chemical weapons inspectors of the OPCW were to visit Douma, America and allies launched illegal bombings against Syria. The illegal bombings included 103 ...

Anyone who has ever dealt with law enforcement when they’ve been a victim of a crime knows that the wheels of justice move very slowly. For some, the waiting is too much to bear and when police—who are often more concerned with prosecuting people for possessing a plant—refuse to go after criminals, they take matters into their own hands. When Lydia Lerma discovered that her son had been molested by a man who was living with her ex-husband, the crime devastated her. However, the insultingly low bail placed on her son’s abuser was equally devastating as it allowed him to walk free for very little money. When police allowed Andrew Vanderwal to walk ...

Refusing to pay taxes for religious reasons: self-employed software developer from Oregon wins case against IRS

Investment Watch Michael Bowman, a 53-year-old self-employed computer software developer from Columbia City, Oregon, hasn’t paid his federal income taxes since 1999. He says it’s because his Christian ideals don’t allow him to pay into a system that funds abortions. In a YouTube video explainer of his defense, he likened paying taxes that then go toward funding abortions to German citizens under Nazi rule who outed Jewish citizens, sending them to their deaths. And according to The Associated Press, he beat the feds in court this week. To be clear, Bowman won the battle, not the war he’s fighting with the IRS and the Oregon U.S. District Court, when ...

President Trump is preparing to support far-reaching legislation to reform federal marijuana prohibition so that states can enact their own cannabis laws without interference. "Since the campaign, President Trump has consistently supported states' rights to decide for themselves how best to approach marijuana," U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (D-CO) said in a statement. "Late Wednesday, I received a commitment from the President that the Department of Justice's rescission of the Cole ...
Scarborough: People Who Believe Comey Biased Against Trump Too Stupid for Kitchen Utensils

Joe Scarborough has made an art form out of sliming President Trump. But Joe’s now turning his Don Ricklesian skills on the people who support the president. On today’s Morning Joe, Scarborough mocked as idiots people who believe that James Comey and others in the FBI like Andrew McCabe were biased against Trump during the presidential race. Joe warned Trump supporters to “step away” from kitchen utensils because they are too “incompetent” to use them and will “hurt themselves.” The screencap shows Scarborough imitating a hapless Trump supporter using an egg beater to “trim their nose hair . . . and there’s blood coming out all over the ...

Gee, I wonder what federal auditors will find — besides a phantom train set and a lot of wasted money? With a new study out showing that California doesn’t have the funding to complete even the first phase of their high-speed rail project, the Inspector General for the Department of Transportation will open the books to see how federal monies have been spent: California’s high-speed rail project is facing an audit from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s as costs continue to climb. The inspector general’s audit, announced Thursday, will examine the Federal Railroad Administration’s oversight of nearly $3.5 billion in federal grant money awarded to the ...
