Wow!!

The facts are complicated, but here’s a summary of what appears to have happened based on the filings and today’s hearing:

Excellent reporting. Sad. “Reuters travelled to northern Cameroon - where the U.S. had played a leading role in the malaria response for nearly a decade - to document how the sudden cuts are contributing to delayed malaria diagnoses, inadequate treatment and a growing number of deaths.”

We zijn diep teleurgesteld over het besluit van minister Wiersma @ministerielvvn.bsky.social om de maximumtemperatuur voor diertransport niét te verlagen van 35 naar 30 graden. En dat terwijl 30 graden het absolute minimum is en eigenlijk nog steeds veel te hoog.

New #EpsteinFiles @bylinetimes.bsky.social investigation: how Steve Bannon’s planned “European revolution” ran through Nigel Farage’s network – with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein quietly helping in the background. 🧵 1/12

"Nigel Farage has been paid over £330,000 by GB News in the last year alone. Farage is deep in the pockets of a company that aims to replace the BBC". Punchy video from @eddavey.libdems.org.uk.

Donald Trump is gunning for the BBC, and Farage is cheering him on. Want to know why? Follow the money…

Personalized gold bars from the Swiss. Used jumbo jet from Qatar. Huge amounts of $$$ from crypto. The amount of corruption in the White House is at unconscionable levels. We need some real serious ethics across the federal government.

Can we now finally stop with “the Danish Model”?

En straks wordt ze bedreigd vanuit de JA21-vriendengroep

We need more pro-European propaganda posters

You better integrate, but don't get too comfortable... we might deport you any moment. What a bunch of ****s we have in Government

Remember integration? That thing voters "really, really" care about? Where's that in the latest plans? My column:

The Kremlin’s primary goal is the regime’s survival, not Russian national security. To secure its grip on power, Russia has adopted Shadow Warfare, using sabotage, covert influence, and violence to achieve its political and military goals. cepa.org/comprehensiv...

ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Bloomington sex trafficking sting, police say. "When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Hodges said during a press conference Tuesday. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

"Maar deze boten zijn nodig, omdat de instroom te hoog is." Nee, Mona Keijzer, de instroom is 37% lager dan 2 jaar geleden. Er wordt te weinig gebouwd, te veel gesloopt, te veel stikstof uitgestoten en te veel belasting op woningbouw en samenwonen geheven.

Het Deense model - Didn't age well. Het is populair in Onderbuikië om te roepen dat "Links geen verhaal heeft over immigratie" en daarom het "Deense asielmodel" moet kopieëren. Lees hier waarom niet. www.bnnvara.nl/joop/artikel...

Some of the people in this article have shared their recollections with me before - but on condition of anonymity. Coming forward now is an act of patriotism. Farage’s claim that it never happened is the opposite. (Note also the line about pronouncing his name.) www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-...

Meanwhile in the USA...

The Danish party that inspired Labour’s hardline immigration policy is on course to lose Copenhagen for the first time in more than a hundred years. Among the reasons cited: fatigue and frustration with its hardline immigration policy.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I was called a traitor by a man that I fought for 6 years for. I gave him my loyalty for free. I've never owed him anything. Let me tell you what a traitor is -- a traitor is an American that serves foreign countries."

Would be interested to know where Britons are emigrating to – how big is the Dubai exodus? But the ONS site is down right now and I don't know if it has that level of detail.

'If the rank and file of the party has any sense, it will forcefully cut off this death spiral leadership now, fight back against the latest capitulation to Nigel Farage and stand up for its principles to build a fairer, more equal society'. This should be compulsory reading for every Labour MP...

Het gaat echt niet om kleine bedragen of kleine belangen. Het is absurd dat Karremans - met de ervaring van halve termijn als wethouder - zo los gelaten wordt in internationale arena op één van de meest gevoelige dossiers. Zit er in Den Haag überhaupt iemand met strategisch en diplomatiek inzicht?

Of, zoals Christophe Fouquet (CEO ASML) zondag jl. bij Buitenhof zei: “Talk before you escalate.”

Diplomatiek toondove Karremans als ongeleid projectiel in internationale chip-crisis. What could possibly go wrong? “Wellicht is besluit vertrouwelijk besproken, maar niet uit te sluiten is dat Schoof niet op de hoogte was van interventie Nexperia, waar Chinese autoriteiten zo kwaad over werden.”

Meanwhile, the Pentagon said it had killed another three people in the eastern Pacific accused of smuggling drugs by sea, though officials offered no evidence. That brings the reported toll to 83 people killed across 21 strikes since early September.
