I'm sure all of Iran's neighbors were consulted and are thrilled. How could this possibly go poorly?

Two photos of US Ambassador to South Africa, Brent Bozell, at the Apartheid Museum. The post reads: Today, visiting the Apartheid Museum was a profound reminder of the courage and sacrifice that shaped South Africa’s democracy. What a powerful moment to listen, learn.  As the United States celebrates 250 years of independence, I am reminded that liberty and justice are shared ideals and values that bind the people of our two nations.

Lol, is Ambassador Bozell rebranding, or is he just polishing his credentials?

Speculations about Kurdish offensive mount as Israel, US hit western Iran The story: There are growing indications that Israel is pressing the Donald Trump administration to mobilize Iranian Kurdish opposition groups based in Iraq to launch a ground offensive inside Iran. I...

PJAK, viewed as the Iranian branch of the PKK, is broadly perceived as the militarily most capable among Kurdish opposition groups. However, given Turkey’s focus on dismantling the PKK, any major action by PJAK could intensify coordination between Ankara and Tehran.

video:
Kurdish Imam from Sanandaj Mosque (Kurdistan, Iran) sends a message to Reza Pahlavi:
I promise you: the Kurds in Iran will never allow you to set foot anywhere in Kurdistan. You are dreaming.

Even without being in Iran, you have called for the formation of a military against the Kurds. But could you at least be fair and not appoint Tom Morley as the military commander? At least help us.

Let me make this clear: when your dictator father executed Qazi Muhammad, there was only one Qazi Muhammad. But now, millions of Qazi exist in Kurdistan. We promise we will not allow you to enter any part of Kurdistan in Iran.

In here is the my message in farsi for you.

For those who don’t who is who is  Tom Morley you can search on google this :

Kurdish Imam in Iran tells Pahlavi he is deeply unwelcome: “Let me make this clear: when your dictator father executed Qazi Muhammad, there was only one Qazi Muhammad. But now, millions of Qazi exist in Kurdistan. We promise we will not allow you to enter any part of Kurdistan in Iran.”

Agree. I was also relieved to see that SA is not on the list of countries that have signed on. At least not yet.

Rising anger over ‘lop-sided’ and ‘immoral’ US health funding pacts with African countries Zimbabwe refuses to sign agreement and Kenya faces a court case over data sharing as new aid deals come under scrutiny

So, dismantle USAID, withdraw from WHI etc, and then offer lop-sided health funding deals in return for exploitation of resources and patient data. "The rapid push for deals is being seen as part of US manoeuvres to establish and entrench power on the continent. "

Ambassador Bozell's message to South Africa. "When the US leads with clarity, prinical, innovation and optimism..." 😂

Cartoon by Zapiro. Frame 1: Trump announcing Bozell as his new ambassador to SA. Frame 2: "... because he hold the right views". A picture of Bozell holding spectacles that read "No genocide" with an Israeli falg, and another pair that reads "White genocie" with the South African flag.

 today. I’m eager to begin this chapter in strengthening the U.S.–South Africa partnership.  

I look forward to advancing U.S. priorities that build a safer, stronger, and more prosperous America, grounded in American exceptionalism and shared opportunity.

"grounded in American exceptionalism" 👀
We are going to regret letting him and his "credentials" anywhere near us.

Oh, this is fascinating! And educational. And fun! If my DeLorean time machine takes me up to 1300 I'm fine, but 1200 or earlier and I'm in trouble. And 1700 was the bomb! It should have stayed that way.

How a Jewish day school fabricated an antisemitism scandal in South Africa When a girls' tennis match between two Johannesburg schools was cancelled, allegations of antisemitism led to resignations and apologies. But students say it was a boycott over Israel

"It is more a Zionist school than a Jewish school. It seems they want the right to be racist and the right to call anyone who calls them out antisemitic"

Side by side pictures of Bad Bunny and Kid Rock. Screenshot of a post that reads: If you translate Bad Bunny's lyrics to English, he really isn't an appropriate pick to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
"Young ladies, young ladies, I like 'em underage. See, some say that's statutory, but I say it's mandatory."
Oh wait... my bad. That's actually Kid Rock, headliner of the MAGA "Christian" halftime show. So that tracks.
