'We are Golunov!' Journalists around the world are under attack, very much like Christians around the world, also under attack. Oh and the Jews, they are too under attack, so I am led to believe. The Palestinians could also technically be considered under attack, even though many say they are the attackers, eek this is getting complicated, I'm not pointing fingers at anyone here, we are all under attack, Okay
Phew, that was close, I could have caused an international incident with some stupid comment about some alienated group of people being further alienated by some other group of people. This would be so much easier of the hippies of the sixties had won their struggle.
Love him or hate him Donald Dump is really sticking it to the trade world. Now he is threatening Chinese President Xi Jinping with even more trade tariffs if he doesn't attend the G20 meeting. Speaking to CNBC Trump arrogantly stated, as he does, "The China deal is going to work out. You know why Because of tariffs Right now, China is getting absolutely decimated by companies that are leaving China," he ranted on and on saying further that China is"going to make a deal because they're going to have to make a deal."All part of making America great again.
Sad news about our neighbours economy, Zimbabwe. With inflation so close to 76 per cent, there is a mere fraction in it, the pundits say we can expect a further 20 per cent drop. Despite their insurmountable problems, someone saw fit to order a hundred and fifty five thousand dollars worth of hand made wigs for their judiciary. Don't laugh, it's sad. The saddest part about this is that our economy is going the same way Zimbabwe's went. Let's not kid ourselves here, if things don't change drastically then the blueprint for economies in Africa looks to repeat its pattern here.
Oh but there is that amazing breakthrough where one politician ordered his council to buy ambulances for the clinics instead of fancy cars for the councillors and we are all clapping and singing with delight. I need to sit down for a moment. Are we not so very lucky, so priviledged to have this good fortune smile down upon us. FFS!
The latest MP to resign from parliement, in a sleugh of resignations, is Bathhabile Dlamini, following Siyabonga Cwele and Jeff Radebe. I wonder what that is all about
In a case of clear cut meddling, Mike Pompeo, not my favorite politician, hinted at meddling in Britain's election process to prevent Jeremy Corbyn, a politician of similar ilk to Mike, from becoming the next Prime Minister. Boris is Donald's choice, no surprises there, but then they don't have a great selection to draw from do they.
If you want to know how to protest, then look to Hong kong with the more than a million strong crow of peaceful protestors gathering outside their parliament building to protest against the extradition bill that would allow extrdition to mainland China.
