What is the issue

What is the issue

Wow, just when I thought it couldn't get more ridiculous out comes Black Monday, with protests agains murders and farm murders taking to civil disobedience. Some people who just don't seem to be able to recognise the fact that the old South African flag conjures up feelings of oppression and suffering, much like the Swastika of the Nazi movement in Germany, it is no longer appropriate. So some people used the event to unite our rainbow nation while others exposed themselves as the out and out racists that they really are. This accusation is aimed at almost every race group in the country and not only the Umlungus. When will people learn not rant out their diabolical hate speech on social media

I believe in the Rainbow nation and I know that we can do it, we're probably the only nation on the planet that can do it, we just need to get out of the clutches of a small band of gangsters that are reaping millions while we tear at each other.

Black Monday dealt with, November is here and so Black Friday is nearly upon us, watch out. Save up and be prepared.

Very worrying news is coming out of the battle between Russia Toady and Twitter, the Russian media has hit back at American propaganda that accuses it of meddling with the US elections, they really need somebody to blame for electing Donald Dump to the Whitehouse. Twitter has banned adverts from Russia today and the Russian news network has lashed out, in my view making the American media look ridiculous. If the Russians did use Twitter and Facebook to put Donald Dump into office, why Surely they would have chosen Bernie Sanders instead

What we really need to worry about is the American War Machine and its loose handling of an acronym that goes like this. AUMF, and it means when spelt out "Authorised Use of Military Force". Most of America was shocked to hear of the death of four American soldiers in Niger. I'm assuming a vast majority of them didn't know where Niger was or that it even existed, but I really feel for poor Mr Rex Tillerson. He is really trying but has to deal with his boss, who he thinks is a "fucking moron" quote unquote. He may be right. Anyway all it takes for America to have an AUMF is for the American Congress to approve the funding. That's all, no declaration of war required, no smoking gun needed, just approval of the funds.

This has got them lawmakers jumping, "We have to ask whether the language will restrain Trump on North Korea, where he has essentially threatened a nuclear war, where Defense Secretary Mattis has threatened the extermination of North Korea's people. Will the Congress apply some breaks on North Korea and strictly limit this new AUMF to strictly ISIS, Al-Qaeda and the Taliban "Max Blumenthal has been quoted asking.

Speaking of funding, we the people are supposed to be outraged about the thirty two million Rand that was spent on the KZN Premier's upgrades to his residence in Pietermaritzburg. For that much I'm sure we could build a residence in Zimbali. The previous Premier Senzo Mchunu was apparently shocked at the news, he was very comfortable in that house.
