Ein Touristenpaar wurde in der Moschee Hagia Sophia in Istanbul festgenommen, nachdem es dort aus der Bibel gelesen haben soll. Die beiden befinden sich mittlerweile in einem Internierungslager und müssen auf den Abschluss des Verfahrens warten.
Dem Paar wird vorgeworfen, mit ihrem Verhalten gegen Artikel 216 des türkischen Strafgesetzbuches verstoßen zu haben – dieser betrifft den Vorwurf der „Anstiftung zum Hass“.
Und in Europa gilt man schon als islamophob, wenn man es wagt die leiseste Kritik gegen diese totalitäre Religion zu üben. Unsere toleranzbesoffen Regierungen haben unverzüglich damit aufzuhören, dem Islam weiter in den Hintern zu kriechen.
Garry Neville : “Can we now start to place him (Messi) above Pele and Maradona?”
Roy Keane : “Yes, but he’s still behind Ronaldo 😝😂😂”
They’ve turned Ronaldo to a laughing stock in the debate 😭😭😂
English sports talk radio has been an incredible listen tonight. Angry hosts, despondent callers, drunk guys forcing their wives to take the phone because “she knows more than the manager,” Irish and Scottish people calling in and trolling the entire audience.
Tremendous.

Hipócrita.
In 33 AD the Roman state engineered a credit crunch, panicked at the wreckage, and then invented the bailout. Every central banker since has been running the same playbook without the toga.
Picture yourself in Rome that year. Tiberius sulks on Capri while the Senate handles business. Some ambitious prosecutors dust off an old Julian law requiring lenders to hold a large share of their capital in Italian farmland, a statute everyone had cheerfully ignored for decades. Suddenly half the senatorial class faces prosecution, because senators moonlighted as moneylenders and none of them complied. They appeal to the emperor. Tiberius, ever generous, grants eighteen months for every balance sheet to conform to the law.
You can guess what happens next. Every lender in Rome calls in loans simultaneously to raise cash for land purchases. Debtors sell property to repay. When everyone sells land at once, land prices collapse, which destroys the collateral backing the remaining loans, which triggers more calls, which forces more sales. Tacitus records the spiral in Annals 6.17: money vanished, creditors hoarded, prices cratered, and indebted aristocrats watched their estates go under the hammer. Interest rate caps of 5 percent, imposed by the same meddling Senate, guaranteed that nobody would lend into the panic at a price that reflected actual risk.
Notice the sequence. No fraud collapsed. No plague struck. Politicians manufactured this crisis with three interventions stacked on top of each other: a land-allocation mandate, a usury ceiling, and a compliance deadline that synchronized every liquidation in the empire. The market did exactly what markets do when the state rigs prices and forces portfolio shifts by decree. It cleared, violently.
Then came the innovation. Tiberius shipped 100 million sesterces from his personal treasury to specially established banks, offering three-year loans at zero interest to any debtor who pledged land worth double the advance. Zero percent. Emergency liquidity. Collateralized lending facilities. You are reading about 2008, written two millennia early, minus the press conferences.
The bailout worked, in the narrow sense that panics end when someone dumps money on them. But study what it rewarded: leveraged land speculation by politically connected senators, the exact class that wrote the laws and then begged for rescue. The small farmer who never borrowed got nothing except the privilege of watching his taxes refill the imperial fisc.
Sound money advocates draw the obvious lesson. Credit crunches under commodity money were failures of legislation: price controls on interest, forced asset allocation, and arbitrary deadlines that turned orderly markets into stampedes. Rome had hard money and still blew itself up, because even hard money cannot protect you from soft-headed lawmakers.
Tiberius at least used his own hoard. Your central bank prints. That counts as progress only if you work there.
¿Los mismos mexicanos que estaban pidiendo al Rey de España que se disculpe van a ir por España?
Sería un nuevo nivel de cogidez, solamente alcanzable por un microbio futbolistico.
No era un partido más, Scaloni lo sabía, pero no lo iba a decir. Era EL PARTIDO, y respondió desde el banco a la altura que corresponde: una gestión excelente en cada uno de los cambios para llevar a la Argentina a la final, venciendo al pirata ladrón.
Fúlvo.
Acho que os nossos jogadores nem assistiram a esse jogo, já que devem estar jogando vídeo game, pôquer ou pegando uma praia.
Uma pena, pois teriam aprendido bastante.
Democrats just said the quiet part out loud: They oppose the SAVE America Act because they’ll lose voters.
Translation: Non-citizens won’t be able to influence our elections anymore.
