De academie die brandhout maakte van de Vlaamse canon, de KVAB, krijgt nu de rekening gepresenteerd. Ze verliest al (!) haar subsidies in 2026.
Minister-president noemt de academie (die nochtans de Vlaamse kandidaat Nobelprijswinnaars voordraagt) geen kerntaak meer.

1/6 Russia and Ukraine are in a race against time.

Ground movements now matter less than long-range strikes.

The side that scales up missile and drone production faster will win this phase of the war, and it will be Ukraine.

Russia is in deep trouble

Idem Vlaams Belang, PVV, AfD,...noem ze maar op.
Farage never entered No.10 but his politics did.

From Cameron to Starmer, every leader since 2015 has copied his playbook.

Britain didn’t take back control.
It handed it to corporate power.

Emmanuel Gonzalez Garcia. 15 years old. Autistic. Vanished in Texas during a short break. For six days, his mother searched for him — not knowing that ICE had taken him and never informed anyone.

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize - her incredible optimism has already changed her country. I spoke to her, and wrote about her, at the beginning of this year:

Thanks to Trump’s tariffs on China, U.S. soybean farmers have lost their biggest customer and are grappling with higher prices for farming equipment.

Now, Trump has said he will bail out farmers — supposedly with the tariff revenue that caused the crisis to begin with.

Zeg nu zelf die Russische cultuur daar is nu toch iedereen jaloers op.
Putin:

The system they wanted to expel us from simply refuses to let Russia go, because it needs Russia as a vital part of the overall balance.

Without Russia, the global balance cannot be built—neither economic, nor strategic, nor cultural, nor logistical - nothing.

Een minister van defensie met een alcoholprobleem is uiteraard geen enkel probleem.
Hegseth: "It all starts with physical fitness and appearance. If the secretary of war can do regular hard PT, so can every member of our joint force. Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals."
