Oud-correspondent Centraal-Europa. Vrijheid is een te groot goed om te verkwanselen aan politici en guru's die eigen waarheid boven feiten en wetenschap stellen
Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny.

Dit zijn niet alleen gebouwen, maar ontelbare doden en verwoeste, getraumatiseerde levens... En dat allemaal omdat een man in het Kremlin een dictatoriale Groot-Russische droom en voldoende hielenlikkers heeft. Ook in ons land.
This is not World War II footage.
This is Toretsk, Ukraine — and it’s not as far away as you think.
A city that once had over 30,000 residents. Now almost completely erased.
There is no excuse for this. None.
@RPlasterk Konden mensen maar eerst controleren of een bericht echt klopt voor ze het doorplaatsen.
En waarom zou je van hen lid willen worden? Je hebt de sociaal-democratie toch al lang achter je gelaten?
Homoseksualiteit komt voor bij zo'n 1500 diersoorten, van zoogdieren en vogels tot vissen en spinnen. Die hebben beslist nooit van 'woke' gehoord.
Je ziet het vooral bij dieren die in groepen leven. Dus misschien heeft het gewoon een sociale functie?

Gidi Markuszower, vleesgeworden veiligheidsrisico voor Nederland, stelt hier dat “maximaal geweld” tegen Palestijnen moet worden ingezet als die Nederland binnenkomen, “erger dan Israël”. Waarna hij vervolgt: “Israël heeft niks ergs gedaan.”
PVV'ers frustreren de aanvaarding van hun eigen, door Faber opgestelde asielwet. Conclusie: @geertwilderspvv verzet de doelen stedds, want hij heeft helemaal geen belang bij strengere asielwetten. Hij wil de asielkwestie vooral gebruiken om vuurtjes te stoken.
Hey Republicans;
He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals. You said nothing.
He bulldozed the East Wing. You’ve said nothing.
He’s interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You’ve said nothing.
He took over the Kennedy Center, even renaming it after himself. You’ve said nothing.
He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You’ve said nothing.
He’s threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil. You’ve said nothing.
He’s tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You’ve said nothing.
He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.
His ill-conceived war killed 175 little girls in its first days. You’ve said nothing.
He’s alienated and insulted more countries than I can keep track of. You’ve said nothing.
His ICE Army is terrorizing and murdering U.S. citizens. You've said nothing.
He has committed murder on the high seas. You've said nothing.
He's co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You've said nothing.
You've not only said nothing to all of these egregious acts, and many more, but you have also enabled them.
And it’s only been a year.
Hey, Republican Congressmen, you took an oath, remember?
Not to him. To the Constitution.
It’s time to do your fucking jobs!
I was a long time Trump supporter, I became a National Delegate to make certain Trump was seated as the nominee.
While en-route to Wisconsin, I learned of the attempt on Trump's life at the Butler rally. I was in the middle of having dinner at a restaurant in Little Rock, AR. We immediately got the check and left, I was very upset.
Prior to learning of the "assassination attempt" I was to scheduled to do an interview with The Washington Post, they had a reporter who was going to shadow me at the convention. He reached out to me after the shooting in a way that I found lacked concern for Trump, so I canceled the interview and did not allow them to shadow me.
The purpose of allowing them to follow me was to bring awareness to J6ers. One of the hats I wore at the convention dawned the images of 4 J6ers, that hat now sits in the Smithsonian.
At the convention of course there was massive concern for President Trump the consensus was it was divine intervention that saved Trump and we were all incredibly grateful.
On the night Trump spoke, he had the ear patch on and many in the crowd did also. As Trump begin to speak, he started with this:
“So many people have asked me what happened. Tell us what happened, please. And therefore, I will tell you exactly what happened, and you’ll never hear it from me a second time, because it’s actually too painful to tell.”
As I stood on the convention floor you could have heard a pin drop as he spoke. My first thought was how odd for him to begin this way. He was nearly assassinated just a few days before and yet he was declaring this would be the only time he spoke of it, that was my first red flag.
When people tell a lie, certainly a big one it is tough to keep all the details straight and doing so is an effort. In my opinion Trump made that statement to stop any further conversation about what happened. He gave us his official story, would only do it once and that was the end of it. Now we all know no one loves Trump more than Trump so this to me felt completely out of character.
Fast forward to the questioning of Secret Service on how this was allowed to happen. If you look at the perfectly timed ICONIC photo Trump standing triumphantly screaming FIGHT, FIGHT FIGHT, certainly this was divine intervention....right?
Following the inauguration, I found it odd that Trump wasn't going aggressively after those who allowed this to happen. He seemed to behave like it was no big deal.
His Secret Service detail failed him massively, allowed him to be shot, and they allowed that perfectly timed photo op to take place
Instead of his SS detail being terminated as they should have been, Trump made the gentleman in the white shirt the HEAD of the Secret Service on January 22, 2025. Instead of losing his job Sean Curran was given a massive promotion.
Now, I want you to look critically at this photo. They allowed President Trump to stand up, exposing multiple potential kill shots, as the flag is gently lowered. Interesting that the other SS agents lower their heads as the perfectly time ICONIC photo is taken. Honestly, it couldn't have been scripted better if were to have been done in a studio.
Since the attempt on his life, Trump has show no interest in investigating what really happened. He never mentions it, it's as if it never happened, except when he tells us, he took a bullet for us.
As for Corey Comperatore, he was used in this plot, someone had to die otherwise, it would have been much easier to claim it was a HOAX. They killed Corey, likely because he was truly a real life hero, one people would rally behind and defend passionately, as they should.
Then to top it off, they used Corey to their benefit at the convention. To this day his wife is begging for answers, answers she has repeatedly been denied. Sadly, they have no more use for her, she no longer matters.
If you cannot look at this story, and use critical thinking skills and have at least some questions, you are the problem and we need you to snap out of it.
Vance says that stopping funding for Ukraine is one of his proudest achievements in this administration.
I’m watching this stunningly cruel speech from Ukraine, as Russia continues to kills us every day. Just today, they killed 8-year-old boy in Cherkasy and five people in Dnipro. Dozens more were injured.
The military assistance you are so proud of stopping was used to save lives in a war Russia started and continues every day by choice, in a war that only became possible after USA pressured Ukraine into disarming...
I do not know if Vance can fully comprehend the scale of the tragedy unfolding here: a brutal, illegal war of extermination by Russia, and the slow abandonment by our allies. There is nothing to be proud of. Absolutely nothing.
Joel Webbon is een rechts-radicale Amerikaanse predikant. Als die al aan je geestelijke gezondheid gaat twijfelen, dan heb je toch echt een probleem als je Trump heet.
