1/2 The results of the Norwegian general election on 8 September show that the Labour Party government will continue for another 4 years. Congratulations to Norway and its people!

1/2 If the USA is among the most powerful, richest, smartest and high-tech countries in the world, why doesn't The Unites States (USA) have:

- Free Healthcare for all citizens
- Free education up to university grade
- Paid maternity leave for 12 months
- Almost free of charge kindergarten

1/2 Israel and genocide in Gaza. All over the News. Every day. I am completely overwhelmed and completely numb by the evil that is being played out in Gaza. It now looks like the Israeli army is killing up to 100 children, women and men standing in a food line. Every day.

1/4 Egon Holstad skriver om "Det meningsløse konseptet krig" i VG i dag. Les dette og prøv å forstå hvordan dette kan foregå i vår tid. Det er vanskelig å finne ord om det som skjer i Gaza og med palestinerne etter Hamas sitt angrep på Israel 7. oktober 2023.

EV cars share of total sales of new cars in Norway per April in 2025: 97% (ninetyseven percent). By the end of 2024, 788,750 electric passenger cars were registered in Norway. This represented 27.4 percent of the total passenger car fleet.

There is no end to serious incidents and attempts to overthrow democracy in the United States and introduce a government like we saw in Europe in the 1920s and 1930s. Here is a political commentary video wrapped into a great song from the Bee Gees. #signalgate #trump #hegseth

How exactly is America going to host the FIFA World Cup 2026 with all these travel and immigration restrictions? Will supporters travel to the US? Next year's tournament is being hosted in the US, Canada and Mexico. How will these countries cooperate after the US got a new government?

Israel is cutting off all electricity for Gaza. Almost no Food supplies gets into Gaza. Two million people are starving. At least 60.000 people killed (most woman and child) in 15 months. Everybody living in tents. All hospitals are bombed to rubble. All households are bombed to rubble.

It is so reassuring to see the press conference in Norway today with Norwegian Defense Minister Tore O. Sandvik and British Defense Minister John Healey. Norway is linking up more closely with the UK and establishing a comprehensive defense agreement.

The US president is an embarrassment for The United States. Are we not friends any more? Zelenskyj = Dictator?? Make Russia and Putin Great Again?? Greetings from Norway, Europe.

Who's the dictator? As an European citizen I am speechless. What do the US president eat for breakfast?

In the news all over Europe: The US President claims that the war in Ukraine was started by the Ukranians. And that the President could have stopped this war a long time ago. Not a word about the Russian invasion in 2022. (Image: Russian bombs hitting major buildings in the city of Odesa 19.02.2025)

Can we really trust Google after their rename of Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America in Google Maps? Gulf of America is not the real name or the official and international recognized map name. What else will Google rename or change after USA got a new president in 2025?

The American president and his good friend are working hard during the day to pick apart the federal state and to create unrest and confusion in the rest of the world. 🙁

Finally. Ceasefire in Gaza 19.01.2025. What do they, the Palestinians, and we do now?
