The Pentagon is threatening to cut support for Scouting America unless it ditches DEI and reverts to “God and country” values. Why? Because they let girls in. Toxic masculinity isn’t just cultural—it’s policy now.

The real lesson from the Epstein files is that there really exists an elite; they fraternize with each other and have the same interests, which differ from the interests of the rest of us.

Maandag debat in de Tweede Kamer: Martin Bosma beschuldigt NOS ervan “alleen leugens over Israël” te verspreiden, gebaseerd op een rapport van José Hak & Maaike van Charante. Ik factcheckte drie concrete uitspraken uit dat rapport. Alle drie blijken aantoonbaar onjuist.

The Financial Times calls Trump’s second term “the most rapid democratic and civil erosion in recent developed world history.”

It compares this acceleration of democratic decline to early autocratic regimes like Putin’s Russia or Orbán’s Hungary. www.ft.com/content/b474...

🚨 Secret $500M deal: UAE’s “Spy Sheikh” bought 49% of Trump’s crypto firm days before he took office. Months later, the UAE got access to restricted U.S. AI chips.

Foreign money. Presidential power. Potential emoluments clause breach.

In medieval Iceland, where poetry was seen as an especially potent form of language, special laws restricted not only mocking verse but also unwanted adulation – if a man wrote an unsolicited love poem to a woman, she could have him punished for it.

Rechtspopulisten kijken geen mainstreammedia omdat ze die als fake news en bevooroordeeld bestempelen. Vervolgens klagen ze dat ze in de media niet de propaganda zien die ze zouden willen zien. Wie de media niet volgt, ziet vanzelfsprekend ook niets in de media.

Premier Schoof is bewust onvolledig geïnformeerd over Palestijnse doden in Gaza. Ambtenaren zouden cijfers schrappen uit documenten en kritiek op Israël ontmoedigen, terwijl pro‑Israëlische uitlatingen geen carrière‑nadeel lijken.
