Two tourists from Poland were travelling in India. Two Indian women met them on the road and started giving them flying kisses. Then they hugged them and started travelling with them. Those guys were later abusing Indian men in the comments and saying degenerate stuff.

THABO MBEKI Jacob Zuma and his goons were apartheid plants who wanted to capture the ANC so that can destroy the country They started their takeover in 2002, but retreated when they saw that they were not ready. They came back in 2007 when they saw that everything has been weakened. They took over and started the distraction from day 1. They are still on that project of destroying the ANC and then destroy the country.

Nsenene catching technologies and investments. This is somewhere on Villa Maria road from Nyendo (Masaka). Very bright lights are lit to beam over iron sheets that slope into drums (pipa). The nsenene, attracted by the light, fall on the iron sheets and slide down into the drums - where they are collected from. The business started in Nyendo, later spreading to different parts of Uganda.

Wildfires burning across the southeastern U.S. were intensifying today. Some of the biggest blazes are along Georgia’s coast and around Jacksonville, Florida, a state that is facing one of its worst fire seasons in decades. In South Florida, a large fire was burning in the Everglades west of Broward County on Wednesday. It was not yet clear how the wildfires started, but a long drought, low humidity and strong winds were fueling them.
