The communists who’ve run South Africa into the dirt since the end of Apartheid — increasingly brazen in their genocidal anti-white rhetoric and deeds — may have not expected any real pushback on their illiberal racism. And why wouldn’t they expect immunity? They had gotten away with it for decades under all previous U.S. presidents, even while they touted the “international rules-based order” that is neoliberalism. But we’re in the Golden Age now. So FAFO. On March 7, Trump announced the total ban on all foreign aid flowing to South Africa via Truth Social: South Africa is being terrible, plus,...

Abolishing the Dept. of Education has been a key promise the president made on the campaign trail. “Oh, I’d like it to be closed immediately. Look at the Department of Education. It’s...

A TVA rep denied that Lyash was departing either in response to or to get ahead of pressure...
