BREAKING: The Russian elite are done with Vladimir Putin as the military prepares to stop obeying orders, withdraw from Ukraine, and march on the Kremlin.
It's happening!
Michel Bacos was an Air France pilot, flying Flight 139 from Athens to Paris on June 27, 1976, when the airplane was hijacked by Arab and German terrorists. At gunpoint, Michel was forced to divert the plane, ultimately landing at Entebbe in Uganda with only 20 more minutes of fuel left.
The terrorists freed the 148 non-Jewish passengers, and also released the airline crew. However, Michel refused to leave the 94 Jewish passengers still kept captive, and the other crew members followed their pilot’s lead and stayed with the hostages. Michel said, “I was a captain of Air France and before that I was in the Free French Forces under Charles DeGaulle during the Second World War – it would be impossible for me to leave my passengers, unimaginable. I told my crew that we must stay until the end because that was our tradition, so we cannot accept being freed. All my crew agreed without exception.”
Several days later, most of the Jewish hostages were rescued during a bold raid by Israeli commandos led by Yonatan "Yoni" Netanyahu. During the raid, known as Operation Yonatan (Operation Entebbe), Michel suffered a concussion.
Michel was immediately hailed as a hero for staying with his Jewish passengers, even at severe risk to his own life. He was awarded the National Order of the Legion of Honour, the highest decoration in France, by the French president. The Israeli government awarded Michel and his crew medals for heroism. He was honored with other awards and commendations by grateful Jewish groups.
Michel retired from Air France in 1982, and spent the remaining decades of his life in Nice, with his wife and many children and grandchildren. When he died, in 2019 at the age of 94, to his request he was laid to rest while the Israeli anthem "HaTikvah" was played.
He was saluted in France, Israel and around the world. In the midst of a murderous nightmare, the captain was a shaft of light.
The mayor of Nice said during Bacos' funeral: “Michel, bravely refusing to give in to anti-Semitism and barbarism, did honor to France. The love of France and the defense of liberties have marked his destiny.”
“Mi rivolgo a te per denunciare la follia dei TAXI DI ROMA.
In questi giorni c'è l'esame di magistratura a fiera Roma. Questa mattina, i treni che portano a Fiumicino saltano per aria. Non ci sono autobus e l'organizzazione dell'esame non riesce a trovare delle navette, che arriveranno solo un'ora dopo l'inizio del disagio. Non si può arrivare in Fiera.
Più di 100 ragazzi e avv. sono ammassati coi loro zainetti trasparenti sotto il sole dell'entrata di stazione Ostiense.
Cominciano le chiamate isteriche ai taxi. Molte volte la risposta è "non ce ne sono più". Alcuni fortunati riescono a prenotare. Arrivano veicoli da 9 posti. Lì sul momento, bisogna trovare altre persone per riempire i posti per fare partire la vettura.
I tassisti dicono: 20 € in contanti altrimenti niente. C'è chi accetta per disperazione, c'è chi è confuso, c'è chi non può darli semplicemente perché non ha contanti.
Loro ineluttabili. 20 Euro e solo in contanti, altrimenti niente.”
- Giorgia Meloni
Prime Minister of Italy:;
"It doesn't seem particularly effective to tell Ukraine that it must withdraw from Ukraine.
That sounds more like a propaganda initiative than a genuine peace proposal. There can be no true peace if it means Ukraine's surrender.
The choice before us is simple: either we defend international law and the sovereignty of nations, or we accept that the strongest can impose their will by force.
We have chosen to stand on the side of freedom.
Italy will continue to stand with Ukraine."
Just, wow, she is great😉
🚨🗣️ Arsène Wenger on Lionel Messi becoming the World Cup’s all-time leading goalscorer:
"I have never seen a player like Lionel Messi. He is a different breed, a completely different kind of footballer.
People compare him with Cristiano Ronaldo, and while Ronaldo is one of the greatest players to ever play the game, Messi is something else entirely. He sees passes before anyone else, creates chances out of nothing and scores goals with an ease that almost looks unfair.
What amazes me the most is that he never forces the game. He doesn't chase headlines or try to prove anything. He simply reads the moment, waits for the right opportunity and destroys opponents with his intelligence.
In all my years as a manager and in all the football I have watched, I have never seen another player who combines vision, creativity, dribbling, goals and playmaking the way Lionel Messi does.
For me, he is one of a kind, and I don't think football will ever produce another player quite like him." 🐐🇦🇷
🚨🎙️ ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIĆ ON LIONEL MESSI'S INFLUENCE ON ARGENTINA AFTER THEIR WIN OVER AUSTRIA:
“I'm obsessed with watching Messi.
Not because he's my friend.
Not because of nostalgia.
Because after all these years, I'm still trying to understand how one player can control a football match without touching the ball every minute.
I watched Argentina today and the first thing I noticed wasn't the scoreline.
It was the way Austria reacted whenever Messi moved.
One step to the left, defenders follow.
One drop into midfield, the entire shape changes.
One glance over his shoulder panic.
That's not football.
That's psychological warfare.
And that's why I laugh when people reduce him to goals and assists.
They don't understand what they're watching.
Messi isn't just Argentina's best player.
He's Argentina's system.
He's their confidence.
He's their belief.
He's the reason every teammate walks onto the pitch thinking the impossible is possible.
People ask me about the GOAT debate.
What debate?
Seriously.
What debate?
For me, there isn't one.
The debate exists because television needs content and social media needs arguments.
When I watch football, I don't see a debate.
I see Messi.
Then I see everybody else.
That doesn't mean other legends weren't incredible.
It means I've never seen another player influence a match, a team and an entire generation of football the way Messi has.
And today was another reminder.
He didn't need a hat-trick.
He didn't need to score from 40 yards.
He just needed to be Lionel Messi.
And suddenly Argentina looked like a completely different team.
That's greatness.
Not when everything depends on you.
When everybody becomes better because you're there.
I've played against great players.
I've played with great players.
But Messi is the only player I've ever watched and genuinely thought:
'This isn't normal.'
The scary thing?
Opponents know exactly what he's going to do.
And they still can't stop it.
That's why I don't waste my time with comparisons anymore.
Some players become legends.
Some players become icons.
Messi became a category of his own.
And after today's performance, if you're still asking me who the greatest footballer of all time is...
You're asking the wrong question.
The right question is:
Will football ever produce another one like him?”
“Football was popular because the poor were happy to play with a ball. When football turned into dishonest business, that is when the wealthy classes saw an opportunity in it, and since then it no longer belongs to the poor.”
— Marcelo Bielsa
La première nation occidentale à INTERDIRE LA PORNOGRAPHIE deviendra rapidement la nation la plus productive de la planète.
Cela résoudrait la crise du déclin démographique du jour au lendemain.
Cela sauverait des millions de mariages.
Cela sauverait des millions d’enfants de voir leur innocence arrachée.
Cela forcerait les hommes à se bouger et à faire le travail de courtiser une femme.
Cela sauverait des millions de femmes d’être exploitées et trafiquées.
Il n’y a littéralement aucun inconvénient à interdire la pornographie.
La pornographie est un pur poison civilisationnel.
Nous pouvons l’interdire.
Et, par Dieu, nous le ferons.
Le frasi di Trump sono orripilanti, come sempre. Finalmente se ne è accorta anche la presidente Meloni: buongiorno Giorgia, ben svegliata. Cara Presidente, hai finalmente capito che allearsi con quella gente lì significa essere contro l’Italia? Ora basta cappellini Maga e basta ponti con Trump: l’Italia merita una classe dirigente che si faccia rispettare nel mondo. Una classe dirigente che non implora, mai. E gli Stati Uniti meritano un inquilino alla Casa Bianca che sappia che cosa è il coraggio, che cosa è il rispetto. La destra mondiale ha fallito: oggi lo ha capito anche la Meloni.
Prime Minister Meloni fires back at Trump:
“President Trump, these constant, unprovoked attacks are senseless.
As for my popularity, being your friend certainly has not helped it, nor does it depend on my relationship with you. My popularity depends on my ability to defend Italy’s national interest, and that is exactly what I have always done.
That is also what I did regarding the American military bases in Italy. Their use is governed by agreements that we have always respected, and that cannot be violated as long as I am Prime Minister. Italy remains a sovereign nation.
In any case, my popularity is none of your concern. I suggest you focus on yours.”
🚨🇸🇪 ÚLTIMA HORA: Suecia ha comenzado a repatriar a los inmigrantes que obtuvieron la residencia sueca pero no lograron integrarse en la sociedad occidental.
¿Apoyas la decisión de Suecia?
Jesus did not just die. He was brutally tortured: In 1986, the American Medical Association published an article titled "The Physical Death of Jesus Christ". It details the entire process of Jesus' trial to His death on the cross.
In Luke 22, before Jesus is arrested, it is written that He was in great distress & sweating blood. Although rare, it is recognized as Hematidrosis, a condition caused by high levels of stress.
At the time, the crucifixion was considered the worst death for the worst of criminals. But this is not all Jesus faced. He endured whipping so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. He was beaten so horribly that His face was torn & His beard ripped.
A crown of thorns, 2-3 inches long cut deeply into His scalp. The leather whip used to flog Him had tiny iron balls & sharp bones. The balls caused internal injuries while the sharp bones ripped open His flesh. His skeletal muscles, veins, & bowels are exposed, causing major blood loss. Most men do not survive this kind of torture. After Jesus was severely flogged, He was forced to carry His cross while people mocked & spat on Him.
Crucifixion was a process meant to instill excruciating pain, creating a slow & agonizing death. Nails as long as 8 inches were driven into Jesus' wrists & feet. The Roman soldiers knew the tendons in the wrists would tear & break, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support Himself to breathe. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the courage...Jesus endured this reality for 3 hours!
The Gospel of John writes that after Jesus' death, a Roman soldier pierced His side with a spear & blood & water came out. Scientists explain that from hypovolemic shock, the rapid heart rate causes fluid to gather in the sack around the lungs & heart. The accumulation of fluid in the membrane around the heart is called a Pericardial effusion & the lungs is called a pleural effusion.
To the world, Christianity is as foolish as it can get. They believe it's for the weak. But when you are confronted by the reality of the cross, it's clearly not a pretty sight. It is brutal & horrific.
This is the weight Jesus carried. The weight of the sins of the world, all so that we can live. God's wrath is fully satisfied in Jesus. This is what it took. Repent & believe! Jesus is “God among us” in the flesh. Jesus is our Savior. Jesus loves you so much that He went through this spiritual and physical punishment for your sins and mine.
Jesus is King!
ATERRADOR: El inmigrante bangladesí Mohammad Salahuddin violó, asesinó y descuartizó brutalmente a Anastazja Rubińska, una mujer polaca de 27 años, en una isla griega. Ya ha sido arrestado. ¿Cuánto tiempo más ignorará Europa la creciente amenaza de los islamistas radicales?

Novak Djokovic: “Wawrinka. He’s very underappreciated and underrated. People sometimes forget everything he’s achieved which is more than almost every other player in tennis history.”
