Before Bukele, emergency dispatchers often heard people calling who saw gang members torturing & murdering their friends & family members.
Here’s an example of a young boy calling 911 as a gangster kills his mom.
Bukele now has the highest approval rating of all world leaders.
The homicide rate in El Salvador has plummeted from 106 homicides per 100 000 inhabitants in 2015 to 1 homicide per 100 000 inhabitants in 2025.
El Salvador now has the world’s highest incarceration rate, with 1.7% of the population behind bars.
Many of them are gang members who have been sentenced to life without parole and will never be let of prison. They won’t be able to murder anyone’s mom again.
@nayibbukele is up there with Lee Kuan Yew as the politician who has had the most impact on his nation in modern history.
In 2016, the Netherlands Meteorological Institute adjusted temperatures at De Bilt, the country's main climate station. Daily maximums from 1901 to 1950 were lowered by up to 1.9C, which removed 16 of 23 heatwaves from the record.
The altered data were then used to claim modern heatwaves were unprecedented.
Four researchers challenged the changes, but the institute dismissed the criticism, so the analysis went to peer review. In 2021, it was published, conclusively demonstrating the method systematically erased historical heat extremes.
Today, the Meteorological Institute has quietly changed its approach, and as a result, seven erased heatwaves have been restored, including the extreme summer of 1947.
Here again, we have a government agency caught rewriting climate history. The Netherlands Meteorological Institute erased heatwaves of the past, ignored critics, and reinstated the truth only when the evidence became impossible to ignore.
Policies were built on that manipulated record.
Dutch farmers lost livelihoods.
Industry and the wider economy paid the price.
But accountability is coming.
Climate models predict rising CO2 will reduce the heat escaping into space. The IPCC expected outgoing long-wave radiation to fall by about 0.8 W/m² since 2000. However, satellite data show the opposite has actually occurred.
Using NASA observations, a 2025 study finds outgoing long-wave radiation increased, not decreased. At the same time, absorbed solar radiation rose sharply, about 0.8 W/m².
That increase in incoming sunlight explains nearly all of the rise in Earth's energy imbalance. The expected CO2-driven reduction in heat loss was not detected.
The main driver here is clouds.
Changes in cloud cover strongly track both absorbed sunlight and outgoing heat. Fewer or thinner clouds reflect less sunlight back to space. More solar energy enters. The surface warms. And heat loss increases.
After accounting for clouds, temperature, and water vapor, the remaining greenhouse contribution is statistically insignificant.
Since 2000, Earth has warmed slightly. But because more sunlight is getting in, not because less heat is getting out.

Every time someone trots out the Crusades to lecture Christians or the West, they leave out four centuries of history. I'm putting it back on the record.

Muhammad died in 632. Within three years, Muslim armies had taken Damascus (635). The next year, Antioch (636). The year after that, the entire Holy Land (637) — the spiritual center of Christendom, gone. Armenia became the first Christian nation fully conquered (639). Egypt, the Coptic Christian power, fell two years later (641). By 650, Muslim forces had reached southern Italy and Cyprus, taking thousands of captives as "𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴" and "𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘶𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴." Then came Spain — Muslim armies crossed from North Africa in 711 and overran most of Iberia by 715.
In roughly 80 years, Christianity lost the Middle East, North Africa, and most of the Iberian Peninsula.

This was not exploration. This was conquest. In 717, Muslim forces besieged Constantinople itself — the capital of Eastern Christendom. The siege lasted a year before they were repelled. Had it succeeded, the path into Europe would have been wide open.
In 730, they invaded France. Charles Martel stopped them at Tours. In 792, the ruler of Al-Andalus called for a second invasion of France. Repelled. In 848, a third invasion of France. Repelled again.
In 827, Muslims invaded Sicily and Italy, persecuting monks and pillaging Christian communities. Sicily would remain under Islamic rule for 250 years. In 846, they invaded Rome itself and forced the Pope to pay tribute. By 909, they had taken Sardinia.
This was relentless, coordinated, and existential.

In 937, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher — built over the site Christians believe is the tomb of Christ — was burned to the ground. More churches in Jerusalem were torched alongside it. In 1009, the Church of the Resurrection was destroyed. By 1012, Al-Hakim's oppressive decrees against Christians had begun in earnest.
Christian pilgrims could no longer safely visit the sites of Christ's ministry. The holiest city in Christendom was ruled by a hostile power systematically destroying the faith itself.

In 1071, Muslim Turkish forces shattered the Byzantine army at Manzikert and occupied most of Anatolia. Constantinople was now directly threatened.
In 1094, Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos sent envoys to Rome begging Western Christendom for military aid.
In 1095, Pope Urban II declared the First Crusade.

The most Green Party story I’ve ever read.
The Greens reparations officer, Antoinette Fernandez, who supports the idea of Britain paying trillions of pounds in slavery reparations, is descended from a Nigerian royal family that traded slaves.
One of them owned 1,400 slaves.
Let me tell you why a Muslim would stab a random Jewish person on the streets of London.
I was raised Muslim, and I know exactly why this happens. It’s not a reaction to the war in Gaza. It’s not oppression. It’s not radicalization. It’s the logical outcome of Islam itself.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a Muslim or not, we as human beings carry guilt deep inside us. We know we are not good enough, and we spend our life trying to redeem ourself through good deeds, thinking it will make the suffocating guilt go away.
Christianity for example offers a way out of guilt, a solution not based on your works but on Christ’s.
Salvation isn’t earned, it’s given. You accept that you can’t redeem yourself, because Christ already did everything on your behalf. That means you’re free. Free to live, free to build, free to serve, free to love.
And when a Christian feels lost, broken, and in need of forgiveness, they can go to church, talk to a pastor or priest, and leave knowing they are forgiven.
Islam, on the other hand, doesn’t offer redemption, it weaponizes guilt.
Instead of providing salvation, Allah exposes you, holds your sins over your head, and threatens you with hellfire and torture in the grave.
The Quran isn’t a book of peace, it’s a book of threats. It bullies Muslims into obedience through fear, humiliation, and punishment.
So what happens when a Muslim seeks redemption? They try to be better Muslims.
They pray, fast, give to charity, go on Hajj, do everything Allah commands. But it never works. I know it. I did it.
And no matter how much you pray, no matter how much you try, the guilt never goes away. Because deep down, every Muslim knows it’s not enough. Allah always demands more.
Allah loves those who die fighting against the infidels. That’s not an opinion, it’s in the Quran, in Hadith, in every lesson taught to children.
This is why Muslims, even the so-called "moderates," always hesitate to condemn terrorism. Because they know jihad is required by Allah. They might not be willing to commit it themselves, but they can't say it’s wrong.
So when a Muslim fails to reach peace through religious rituals, they have two choices:
Give up, stop being devout, and learn to live with the guilt, or commit to jihad, because that’s the only way to be true to yourself.
The Quran spells it out clearly: “Kill those who do not worship Allah or obey the Prophet” (9:29).
So when a Muslim embraces this identity fully, killing infidels isn’t just justified, it’s joyful. It’s an act of:
Saving yourself, obeying Allah, securing your eternity, finally escaping the crushing weight of guilt
This is why a Muslim can stab a random jewish person on the streets and feel nothing but satisfaction.
Because for the first time in his life, he finally believes he has done something worthy of redemption.
@Hoppala474348@visegrad24@ragipsoylu What did they build there? Minarets on Churches? Several pathetic "palaces"? Compare with what Christians built in European cities. Even small villages of several thousand people built gothic cathedrals, schools, universities.
@Hoppala474348@visegrad24@ragipsoylu We know how they shaped the European history - slaughtered millions of Christians for 5 centuries and built exactly nothing in the ruined Constantinople.
Everyone’s told plastic pollution is a “global” problem…
But the data say something very different.
Roughly 90–95% of ocean plastic comes from a handful of rivers... mostly in Asia and Africa. The Yangtze. Ganges. Mekong. Nile. Niger.
Not your grocery bag in Colorado.
Not your straw in D.C.
A small number of poorly managed waste systems are doing the overwhelming majority of the damage.
The UN isn’t structuring this like a solvable engineering problem... it’s structuring it like a permanent global revenue stream.
Because if you solve it quickly and directly…
there’s no need for decades of committees, funding mechanisms, and “frameworks.”
Iranian female communists, 1979.
They were instrumental in bringing Khomeini to power, only for him to take away their rights and then hang them.
47 years later, literally nothing has changed.
Useful idiots.
