South African politician Julius Malema, the leader of the radical Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party, responded to President Donald Trump’s claims about “genocide” Wednesday by reiterating calls to kill white farmers. Earlier that day, Trump had shown visiting South African President Cyril Ramaphosa video of Malema leading rally chants of “Kill the Boer!”, “Kill the farmer!”, “Shoot to kill!”, and other incendiary slogans. Ramaphosa tried to argue that Malema’s rhetoric did not represent the government’s policies, but Trump countered that South Africa had passed a law allowing expropriation of land without compensation, that it had racially discriminatory laws, and that...

Treasury yields moved back to levels that have pressured the economy and financial markets in the past as investors feared a new U.S. tax bill could worsen the country’s budget deficit, a risk highlighted in a Moody’s downgrade of the U.S. credit rating to end last week. The 30-year Treasury bond yield was up about 11 basis points to 5.08%, breaking above the key 5% level for the second time this week and reaching a level not seen since October 2023. The 10-year yield was 10 basis points higher at 4.59%, returning to levels that caused turmoil in the markets...

Bolden witnessed the events surrounding the assassination of JFK and bravely spoke out about the cover-up. For telling the truth, he was unjustly convicted, labeled clinically insane, stripped of his constitutional rights, and incarcerated—an appalling abuse of power meant to silence his courage. I want to offer him a formal apology for the injustice he endured and thank him for his loyal service to our nation. His legacy is one of integrity, resilience, and truth.

Please note: The Pandemic Agreement has been called various names over the years. It has also been referred to as the Pandemic Treaty, Pandemic Accord and WHO Convention Agreement + (“WHO CA+”). To ensure the Pandemic Agreement was adopted by the easiest possible route, WHO had determined that a vote need not take place, and instead it would be adopted by “consensus.”Surprised that a “democratic institution” did not want to have a vote, Slovakia requested that a vote on the draft Pandemic Agreement take place, which Tedros the Terrorist attempted to stop hours before the vote was scheduled.https://x.com/RobertFicoSVK/status/1924473981395988880?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1924473981395988880%7Ctwgr%5Eda2097fa6480bcc106dd46d79e58409ee8c862d4%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fexpose-news.com%2F2025%2F05%2F21%2Fwhos-pandemic-agreement-is-adopted%2FThe vote was...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As debate continued over President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill," the United States Congress was said to be split between those who want to spend a ridiculous amount of money and those who want to spend an even more ridiculous amount of money. "My colleagues are out of line!" Republican Senator Kevin Cramer said during open debate on the Senate floor. "They want to spend a whole, whole lot of money. I want to spend slightly less because I'm responsible!" The ongoing struggle in Congress only served to highlight a near-even split along ideological guidelines between those...

EDISON, New Jersey (WABC) -- Several teens were arrested after a brawl broke out at the Menlo Park Mall in Edison, New Jersey on Saturday night. The chaos erupted after hundreds of teens showed up for a gathering planned through TikTok. One officer was injured in the mayhem. It started with a call out days before by a social media influencer for his followers to descend on Menlo Park Mall on Saturday night.

Axios reporter Alex Thompson said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that former President Joe Biden’s inner circle of family and advisors chose loyalty to him over duty to the country. Co-host Jonathan Lemire said, “So every White House, no matter which party Republican or Democrat administration part of the job is to make the president look good.” He asked, “What makes this administration do what they did to protect their principal? Why is that a cover-up?” Thompson said, “I think a lot of these things start innocently enough, to your point. You know, the speechwriting team early on realized that...

President Donald Trump used a White House meeting to confront South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, accusing his country of failing to address the killing of white farmers. "People are fleeing South Africa for their own safety," said Trump, who at one point dimmed the lights in the Oval Office to play a video of a communist politician playing a controversial anti-apartheid song that includes lyrics about killing a farmer. "Their land is being confiscated and in many cases they're being killed." Ramaphosa, who sat quietly watching these videos, pushed back against Trump's accusation. "I'd like to know where that is...

Kytazia Ryeshia Watson, 29, was charged with interference with the operation of a school bus, according to online jail records.

The decision revives a lawsuit against a Texas officer who shot a driver after endangering himself by jumping onto a moving car. ============================================================= During a routine traffic stop near Houston in 2016, a police officer killed Ashtian Barnes by blindly firing two shots into his car after jumping onto the doorsill as Barnes began to drive away. Last year, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit ruled that the shooting was justified by the threat that the officer, Harris County Constable Roberto Felix Jr., faced when he shot Barnes. Last Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously rejected the...

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa wasn't expecting this!

A transgender student filmed three boys in a Virginia high school locker room who he claimed were bullying him for his gender identity. But his attempt to ostracize them backfired when parents of the accused tormenters and the state's governor questioned why the three boys were being filmed secretly inside the locker room in the first place. Earlier this month, Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) launched a Title IX investigation after the trans student recorded a friend group that was uncomfortable with a biological female being in the changing room. Stone Bridge High School, where the video was taken, is...

Elon Musk criticized Bill Gates for his past association with the late convicted sex offender and trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, following Gates’ condemnation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Gates had claimed that the proposed government reductions could lead to “millions of deaths,” prompting Musk’s pointed response. Gates continued, arguing that DOGE was endangering children worldwide by slashing USAID, as it is the United States’ foreign aid apparatus. However, the Microsoft co-founder refrained from addressing complaints regarding how many Americans do not believe that U.S. taxpayers should “pick up the check” when it comes to other foreign nations’ problems. “The...

Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett has alleged that staffers in Joe Biden’s administration engaged in a “cash for clemency” scheme, using an autopen to issue pardons in exchange for financial payoffs. An autopen is a device that mechanically reproduces signatures. On Tuesday, Rep. Burchett appeared on “The Benny Johnson Show” and stated, “You are gonna find staffers that were able to take forms, get them and run them through some sort of bogus legal system, then they auto-penned them.” Burchett said he believes there was a pay-for-pardon scheme happening, and pointed to a historical scandal involving former Tennessee Governor Ray Blanton,...

Five tornadoes rated EF4 have struck the U.S. so far in 2025 after two more were confirmed following the most recent siege of severe weather in mid-May. Tornadoes in the violent category like these makeup less than 1% of twisters this century, so how does this year's number stack up compared to the average? Big Picture -Defining Violent Tornadoes: While all tornadoes are dangerous, meteorologists reserve "violent" for those with the two highest ratings on the Enhanced-Fujita scale - EF4 or EF5. That's because these strongest tornadoes are capable of devastating damage, such as crushing and throwing vehicles, leveling well-built...
