I commend President @realDonaldTrump and @secrubio for leveraging every tool in the toolbox to hold the Murillo-Ortega dictatorship and its cronies accountable for their crimes. Today's decisive action is an important step in promoting accountability, democracy, rule of law, and basic human rights for the people of Nicaragua.

"Starship is going to revolutionize space. It's the first rocket design that is capable of full and rapid reusability. Reusability is the fundamental breakthrough that is necessary to make life multi-planetary, as well as to ascend the Kardashev scale. You simply cannot ascend the Kardashev scale unless you have a reusable spacecraft, and you cannot extend life to the moon, to Mars, and the rest of the solar system without a reusable rocket."

@SecRubio @StateDept Maduro captured, Raúl Castro indicted, and the Ortega-Murillo thugs are next.

Our hemisphere must be the hemisphere of freedom and democracy — tyranny has no place here!

Thank you @POTUS & @SecRubio for holding these terrorists accountable!

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

The Murillo-Ortega dictatorship is an enemy of humanity. The Trump Administration will not ignore their crimes and brutality, including the dictatorship’s singular role in the death of political opposition leader Brooklyn Rivera. Today, @StateDept took steps to impose visa restrictions on over 100 Nicaraguan officials who continue to carry out Murillo and Ortega’s malign agenda.

The Netherlands also has its Henry Nowak cases.

In July 2020, 14-year-old Tamar from Marken was hit by a car on a dark dike road and left to die. Her body was later found in the berm.
What happened next is deeply disturbing.

The police initially told her mother that the driver was German. Days later the truth came out: it was four Iraqis in the car. The mother was told they withheld the real background because they didn’t want to create a "Wilders-effect" — they didn’t want to give Geert Wilders political ammunition.

Even worse: evidence strongly suggests Tamar’s body was moved after the accident. The driver didn’t just flee, they dragged her off the road and left her there like an animal.

The driver received only a €1,500 fine for looking at his phone while driving. He then disappeared completely. The fine was returned “undeliverable” and for years he was untraceable.

Only after years of fighting by the family (including going to court to force prosecution), a breakthrough came in March 2026: the now 33-year old Jamal is finally being prosecuted for causing the fatal accident and leaving the scene.

Just like Henry Nowak in Southampton — an innocent young person dies, authorities seem more focused on protecting a narrative and avoiding “political incorrectness” than on delivering swift justice.
A 14-year-old girl dies on a Dutch dike. The system lies about the identity of the driver, gives him a slap on the wrist, loses him for years, and only after massive pressure does real prosecution begin.

This is not just a traffic accident. This is a story about truth, accountability, and what happens when institutions put ideology before grieving families.

Her name was Tamar.
She was 14.
She deserved better.

Medal of Honor

On a dark, unforgiving night in 1942, somewhere on Guadalcanal, the jungle lit up with violence. Wave after wave of Japanese soldiers pushed forward, determined to crack the Marine line. It wasn't a single charge, it was relentless, like the tide refusing to turn back.
In one critical stretch of that line stood Sergeant Mitchell Paige. The defense there depended on machine guns, simple truth, if those guns stopped, the enemy would pour through.
And one by one, they did stop.
Crew after crew was hit. Wounded. Gone.
The steady rhythm of gunfire began to break apart, replaced by dangerous silence.
You can almost picture it, the kind of moment where everything feels like it's slipping away.

But Paige didn't let it.
He moved. Not away from the danger, but straight into it. One gun went quiet, he took it over. Then another. And another. Before long, he wasn't just holding a position, he was holding what was left of the line by himself, doing the work of men who should have still been there beside him.
All of it in the dark. All of it with the enemy getting closer.
That's the part that sticks with me. Not just the courage, but the decision. Because somewhere in that chaos, he could've chosen survival. Nobody would've blamed him. Most people wouldn't have thought twice about falling back.
But he didn't.
He stayed. He fought. He kept those guns talking when everything else had gone quiet.

By morning, the line was still there.
Paige received the Medal of Honor, and rightly so. But medals don't always tell the whole story. What I think about is something simpler and maybe heavier.
One man. In the dark. Surrounded by silence where his fellow Marines had been. Still choosing to stand his ground.
It makes you wonder what any of us would do in a moment like that. Not in theory, but when everything is on the line, and there's nobody left to lean on. 🙏🇺🇸🙏
