Trump: "We will always be there for NATO, even if they won't be there for us." The ONLY time NATO acted under Article 5 was after 9/11. The member states supported the US during operations Enduring Freedom and ISAF (Afghanistan). Per capita, Denmark and Georgia lost more soldiers there than the US.

this bears repeating:
Grok is bad because it's creating NONCONSENSUAL sexual images of real people.
Not because sex is icky and should be scrubbed from the Internet.
The distinction is crucial at a moment when dangerous censorship legislation is bipartisan and widely misunderstood

7/17 January 1583: A dramatic day in Antwerp: the 'French Fury'. As we've seen, the duke of Anjou has been in the Netherlands for nearly a year, leading the rebel provinces in a slightly awkward alliance with William of Orange, and with all the usual constraints on Dutch rulers. ... 1/

- De Financial Times meldt dat de Trump-regering steeds vaker O-1B-werkvisa verleent aan OnlyFans-modellen, het visum voor ‘buitengewone vaardigheden in de kunsten’. Daarbij worden bereik en de omvang van hun publiek meegewogen als bewijs van uitzonderlijke artistieke prestaties.
Trump dag 352: Vaker visa voor OnlyFans-modellen, Trump wil winst 30-50 miljoen vaten olie Venezuela zelf beheren, VS wil Groenland kopen, site over Capitoolbestorming geeft schuld aan politie en Democraten, Pentagon onderzoekt ‘effectiviteit’ vrouwen: reportersonline.nl/trump-dag-35...

Double Cup 1325–50 German or Bohemian
The only known example of its type and date, this double cup is inscribed with the names of the Three Kings—"Caspar + Melchior + Waltazar"—and was probably used for traditional toasts on the Feast of the Epiphany, 6 Jan. (Met Museum)

How anyone could think a company with the name Palantir could be trustworthy is beyond me. Hasn't Peter Jackson taught us anything?

Dat is ook zo. Het zou alleen fijn zijn als ze dat zelf beseften. Wat ook zou helpen is dat de 5de colonne eruit wordt gemikt maar bon, mensen stemmen daar heel graag voor in Europa.

5 jaar geleden op deze dag trachtte Trump de verloren verkiezingen van 2020 ongeldig te verklaren en hitste hij zijn aanhang op die het Capitool bestormde. Nu is hij weer president en is ontkenning van de couppoging en geschiedvervalsing volop aan de gang: www.volkskrant.nl/buitenland/w...
Waar is de strop die journalist Michael Persson na de Capitoolbestorming aan de FBI overhandigde?
‘Onthoud deze dag’, zei Donald Trump na de Capitoolbestorming in 2021. Bijna vijf jaar later ziet oud-correspondent Michael Persson dat de herinneringen aan die 6 januari juist zijn uitgewist.

Misschien moeten we ze gewoon geloven als ze iets zeggen? En ook: het totale failliet van een generatie politici á la Rutte en consoorten die al jaren slaafs achter de VS aanlopen en elke poging om de EU en de eigen defensie te versterken, hebben afgewezen.
TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?
MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO
T: So force is on the table?
