Trump just dropped a Truth Social post saying he's canceling anything Biden signed with an autopen machine, which he claims was like 92% of his documents. He's calling the whole thing illegal and says Biden's staff ran the show without proper authorization while the old guy was out of it.
The thing is, legal experts have been clear for years that autopen signatures are totally legit as long as the president actually approved them. The Justice Department under Bush even wrote that presidents don't have to physically sign stuff themselves. House Republicans looked into Biden's autopen use earlier and found documents were authorized, though they suggested Biden wasn't always in the loop with certain staffers.
Trump's threatening perjury...
Kolisi keeps dropping wholesome content about his Springbok teammates, and this time he went full sentimental for Lukhanyo Am's birthday. He posted on Instagram calling Am "Qhinebe" and saying he already misses him while Am is over in Japan. The two built their connection through years of playing together for South Africa, and their friendship apparently runs deeper than just rugby stuff.
Supporters ate it up in the comments. One person couldn't understand why Am doesn't get more game time, given how talented he is. Others started asking where Makazole Mapimpi went, because fans want him back playing domestically. The whole exchange shows how tight the Springbok squad is off the field, and Kolisi's leadership vibe clearly extends...
Bobby Skinstad spilled the tea on his beef with Rassie Erasmus back when they were both grinding for the same spot on the Springboks roster. The former captain admitted they were constantly clashing because both wanted to play number seven, and neither cared about anything except their personal ambitions during the late nineties and early 2000s.
Fast forward to today, and Skinstad has nothing but respect for what Erasmus accomplished as a coach. He watched the transformation happen while working as a commentator for a decade, and he said Erasmus basically turned the Boks into something the entire country rallies behind instead of just a small white fanbase. The rivalry is ancient history, but the respect runs deep after seeing how hard...
Zimbabwe cops are flooding streets nationwide to keep roads safe as schools close for the holidays and families start traveling. Commissioner Paul Nyathi said officers will meet with transport companies at every government level to prevent accidents and crime during the busy season, and parents need to stop letting kids ride in sketchy vehicles or travel after dark.
Police want citizens calling their hotline to snitch on reckless drivers, and they're making it clear that anyone running dodgy operations will catch charges. The whole campaign depends on people actually cooperating with deployed officers instead of ignoring the warnings, and authorities promised regular updates as the festive period rolls on.
Opposition lawyer Fadzayi Mahere torched the government's tax adjustments and said the finance minister is running a shell game by cutting one levy while jacking up another. The Intermediated Money Transfer Tax dropped from 2 percent to 1.5 percent for local currency transactions, but Value Added Tax jumped from 15 percent to 15.5 percent across everything.
Mahere pointed out that USD transfers still get hammered with the full 2 percent IMTT, and the VAT hike applies to both currencies. She called the whole setup anti-productivity and warned it would spike prices across the board while making life harder for regular people trying to afford basic stuff.
Divine Family Ministries International is throwing a youth conference at Golden City in Goromonzi, and vice chairman Sasha Shambare thinks the event will hit different for young people dealing with Zimbabwe's rough economic situation. The church is setting up worship sessions, Bible lessons, and breakout groups that actually tackle real-world problems instead of just vibing on spiritual stuff.
Shambare mentioned they're rolling out counseling services, mentorship programs, and skills training because attendees need practical help alongside faith-based support. Hundreds of young people from around the country are expected to show up, and organizers want everyone leaving the conference feeling stronger spiritually, emotionally, and...
Zimbabwe's Music Consultancy Society just wrapped its eighth graduation ceremony, and the director is making noise about protecting local culture through traditional instruments. Dr. Tavonga Assiel Chipadza said teachers from across the country are learning to craft mbiras, ngororombes, and other indigenous gear as part of the government's National Development Strategy 1.
The National Arts Council backed the whole thing since it fits their 2022 music strategy, and they want the industry to become a legit profession where artists can actually pay rent. Board chair Cuthbert Jingura dropped plans to upgrade their program from certificate to diploma level, with dreams of eventually launching a full university for cultural arts. He pointed...
A Harare couple walked free after three years of legal drama when a High Court judge tossed fraud charges that accused them of stealing ZW$137 million from ex-Reserve Bank Governor Gideon Gono. Clark Makoni and Beverly Aisha Ndonda claimed the whole prosecution was bogus and said Gono was trying to shake them down, but a regional magistrate originally refused to dismiss the case.
Justice Regis Dembure reversed that decision and said the charges were completely broken because prosecutors never actually laid out the basic elements of fraud. The defense lawyer called it a fishing expedition, and the judge agreed that the magistrate basically tried to rewrite the charges mid-trial to help the prosecution. The court can't invent new...
Zimbabwe's Sports Minister dropped by a youth soccer tournament in Chikomba District to talk about the country's drug crisis, and he told families they need to step up because the problem hits communities every single day. Anselem Sanyatwe said young people are getting pulled into substance abuse because of economic pressure and limited options for recreation, but sports can redirect that energy toward better outcomes.
The minister praised legislator Tatenda Mavetera for organizing the annual event at Garwe Stadium, saying activities like soccer and netball keep kids away from harmful choices. He pushed for stronger youth leagues and creative programs while telling parents, teachers, and business leaders they all have roles to play in...
