@DaleJohnsonBBC The same @FIFAcom that stripped Indonesia of hosting rights for the U-17 World Cup & moved it to Argentina because they refused visas for Israel. That same FIFA is now telling us they are not involved in host country immigration processes? What an absolute hypocritical shit show!

Onderzoeker Marc Jacobs spitte in 2025 maar liefst 885 studies door over de ziekte van Parkinson en pesticiden. Maar vond geen overtuigend verband. Afgelopen maanden deed hij hetzelfde voor pesticiden (glyfosaat) en kanker. Met dezelfde uitkomst. Jacobs constateert dat er wordt toegewerkt naar een beeld.

BREAKING: Iran's World Cup team arrives in Mexico for the tournament wearing pins that read "#168" in honor of the children that Trump slaughtered in his illegal bombing of a school in Minab.

MAGA is beyond furious...

The design of the pins draws on a prominent internet hashtag and refers to the number of kids who were killed in the strike on February 28, 2026. While the White House and Israel still refuse to take responsibility for the massacre, The New York Times has reported that U.S. officials are aware that America was behind the attack.

The Iranian players were not displaying the pins when they departed from training in Turkey over the weekend, but donned them during a refueling stop in Spain so that they would be visible when they disembarked in Mexico.

The X account for Iran's embassy in Hungary posted a closeup image of the pin. Several posts later, they shared a depiction of the Statue of Liberty holding up a shredded backpack covered in blood.

The response from Republicans has been, predictably, equal parts bloodthirsty and deranged. Many MAGA supporters have dismissed concerns about the bombing, glibly stating that "people die in wars." Others are denying Trump's involvement, while still others are blaming Iran for refusing to fully surrender and capitulate before the strike happened.

All of these rationalizations are heartless and morally repugnant. Those little Iranian children were killed because Trump decided to start an illegal war of aggression on behalf of Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu. No American interests were at stake. Iran posed no threat to the United States. Our own intelligence agencies concluded that Iran was not pursuing nuclear weapons.

This pointless, costly, evil war was launched because Israel wants to destroy the sole regional adversary willing to oppose their unfettered territorial expansion. Look no further than Lebanon right now for the geopolitical truth.

Israel is murdering innocent people, demolishing villages, and seizing land that does not belong to them. Since March 2 of this year, over 1.2 million people have been displaced. Through its proxies, Iran poses a threat to Israel's wholesale slaughter and barbaric conquest. That's why Trump attacked.

One need not support the theocratic Iranian government to oppose this war. It's wrong on every level, and those who remain silent will be judged by future generations.

Please share if you refuse to forget the innocent children that Trump killed.

#Putin and his puppit

[Yasmina @yasminalombaert]

Lavrov whiningly accuses Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of a major breach of etiquette.

Why? Because Zelenskyy had the audacity to write an open letter to putin and “actually shared it with the rest of the world”, instead of keeping it a secret.

According to Lavrov, "polite people don't act that way," and because of this horrific breach of manners, putin has decided negotiating is off the table anyway.

"President putin spoke in detail on this topic at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, taking into account, among other things, a long letter from Zelenskyy published the day before, which was addressed to President Putin, but for some reason was sent all over the world. That is probably not how polite people act, and the President assessed this letter rather as an indication that negotiations with Ukraine are not necessary.”

Lavrov also echoed putin’s earlier statement that “it is not negotiations but the actions of those involved” on the front lines of Russia’s war “that are crucial to the outcome” of Moscow’s full-scale invasion.

The Kremlin, currently busy rewriting international law and tearing up treaties, is suddenly deeply offended by a lack of diplomatic courtesy.

They are using a public letter as a convenient pretext to avoid real peace talks, shifting the blame entirely onto Ukraine.

Lavrov literally doubles down on putin’s stance that only brutal force on the front lines matters anyway.

It’s an impressive routine: starting a full-scale war, and then complaining that the guy you invaded didn't use the proper RSVP format.
Classic Kremlin gaslighting.

[Maria Shriver @mariashriver]

I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”

Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.

Our soldiers quickly captured two enemy columns of armored vehicles, including modern T-72B3s and even T-90Ms. Instead of simply blowing up the tanks, they did something the Russians certainly did not expect.

Ukrainian crews got into the captured Russian tanks, switched on the radios, adopted the Russians' call signs, and set off on a deep raid behind enemy lines, posing as friendly forces.

The Russian columns moved calmly, believing they were safe. Our tank crews quickly neutralized the original crews, mastered the equipment, and blended into the Russian traffic flow. They spoke Russian over the radio, used the correct call signs, and imitated the style of Russian communications. At checkpoints, they were waved through without suspicion: "Go ahead, guys."

The Ukrainians then calmly drove straight onto the grounds of a Russian brigade headquarters.

Once inside, they suddenly turned their turrets and opened fire. The headquarters, supply depots, and vehicle park were turned into an inferno within minutes. Russian troops ran in panic between tents, firing in every direction, but it was already too late. They had allowed a "Trojan horse" onto their own base.

The operation was carried out brilliantly. Ukrainian forces seized the headquarters, captured officers, destroyed key facilities, and withdrew with minimal losses.

🚨 WORLD CUP SCANDAL: US SLAMS DOOR ON AFRICA'S TOP REFEREE

Somalia's Omar Abdulkadir Artan — first Somali ever selected for the FIFA World Cup, CAF Referee of the Year — arrived in the US with a diplomatic passport and approved visa.

US authorities denied him entry at the airport and sent him back to Turkey. No reason given.

This is the "global game" hosted by America: merit means nothing if your passport comes from the wrong country.

FIFA silent. Africa watching.

Where is the fairness they preach?

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said:

"We will not allow a single gram of aid into the Gaza Strip until its people kneel and beg. Gaza must be leveled to the ground. There is no such thing as innocent people."

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

Putin lives in a reality that is increasingly detached from the actual state of things. Most likely, he is being provided only with information that he is expected to like.

Putin wants the war to continue. He is supported by a relatively small group of "hawks" and "Z-patriots," who make up roughly 29 percent.

There is also a silent majority that has started to feel the effects of economic problems and is increasingly experiencing fear caused by Ukrainian drone strikes and, likely, the prospect of mobilization. They are the ones who could eventually erupt.

The key question is whether a group of people will emerge within Russia itself, above all among its elites, who understand that the war is destroying Russia itself and who will be able to do something about it, one way or another.

It would be a total failure for Europe to negotiate with Russia after its invasion, terrorism, kidnapping children, ongoing sabotage & propaganda onslaught in Europe. Putin's Russia is a terrorist state led by a war criminal. It must be defeated, cut out like the cancer it is.
