Sheeesh. As though Lesotho needs more uphill.
One of Lesotho’s largest diamond producers could shut down within weeks, threatening over 750 jobs and R1-billion spent annually in the local economy.

Lying Kristi Noem runs an agency of liars to protect a lying President who represents a segment of the electorate for whom compulsive, habitual lying is not disqualifying.
Lying Kristi Noem runs an agency of liars. This regime is murdering innocent people in the Caribbean and then lying about the victims.
The NYT deserves to fade into history
Still appalled at how paltry and terrible the NYT coverage of the protests were and how nobody there feels any responsibility to address the criticism. This was not something that caught them off guard. This was many levels of decisions.
Wut?! Isn't that exactly why the public has a right to know the full extent of relationships between elected officials and others?
Elise Stefanik talks out of all 3 sides of her mouth.
Why is she doing that? What's her beef with you? Beats me.

He lies as he breathes. And he gets away with his lies because the media and his voters don’t hold him accountable for his lies. 👇

PS .. Plenty of timber grown in Mpumalanga ... along the escarpment ... Nelspruit, White River, Sabie
And many plantations grow trees for pulp - paper, cardboard, fibreboard and such - rather than sawn timber.
So, forestry companies own the plantations. A long-term high risk investment ... trees can burn, die from disease or the type of timber grown can lose appeal before harvesting.

Sawmills are part of the beneficiation process. Some are independent, some owned by forestry companies.

So eucs were used extensively by the gold mines for underground shoring, but with the collapse of the industry the demand all but dried up. Now they're looking to export wood chips but its way more expensive to chip them than to sell logs. Eucs are generally not good as structural timber vs pine.
Yeah, those Ozzies are everywhere. Unfortunately big eucs like those suck up huge quantities of water.
Complete with invasive Australian trees 😏
It's a ceasefire, not a peace deal.
It will only be a peace deal when both sides actually want peace.
MAGA is big mad because the majority around the world refuses to give the Cankled Commander in Chief praise for a "peace deal" that doesn't exist in Israel and Palestine, and we all know he has been played and will get played by Israel and Netanyahu.

Also, release the Epstein Files.
Nick Sortor is an attention-seeking drama queen. Led the search for '1000 missing children' in Lahaina that were never missing. Claimed that hurricane Helene was geo-engineered by the Biden admin to secure lithium deposits, then that FEMA slow-walked the response etc. etc. He is a twat.
🚨🚨🚨 Nick Sortos of MAG@ was arrested for attempting to incite a riot in Portland, Oregon. 1/2
