Polling 20 points ahead of the Russian-backed kleptocrat Victor Orban for an election that's only 4 days away, opposition candidate Peter Magyar tells both the Americans and Russians to get the hell out of Hungary's politics.

Perfecte omschrijving van het tijdperk Trump. @OzcanAkyol @ds_Salland

Mooi, toch? Als je ‘s morgens zo uit je bed mag komen…..

Holy shit! The Free Press is reporting that Cardinal Christophe Pierre was summoned to the Pentagon and rudely lectured (threatened) by an official that the U.S. military has the power to do "whatever it wants" and that Pope Leo and the Vatican should think twice about opposing Trump. Tensions have apparently grown so severe that Pope Leo, the first-ever U.S. born pontiff, refused to accept Trump’s invitation to celebrate the nation's 250th anniversary. One Vatican official put it bluntly: "The Pope may well never visit the United States under this administration."

To everyone celebrating Easter, Michelle and I wish you a joyful holiday filled with reminders of the enduring power of faith and hope.

When the whole world learned about Bucha. About Ukrainians butchered in the streets of Bucha by Russian occupiers. About our people tortured in basements. About those shot on the roads. About adults and children whose bodies were found in graves in Bucha. Everyone saw the horror that Russia and its aggression bring. They saw what Ukraine is really defending itself against. Today, on the fourth anniversary of Bucha’s liberation from Russian occupiers, we honored the memory of Ukrainians who were killed and tortured there. We remember and will never forget what the enemy did. Every Russian murderer, executioner, and terrorist must be held accountable for every crime against our people. Blessed be the memory of everyone whose lives were taken by Russia – to all who were killed in Bucha and across Ukraine at the hands of Russian occupiers.

Genoeg van dat gedoe met #AliB @pauwendewit !!!

"We must attack Narva to destroy NATO and break Europe's will." Russian state TV is making no secret of Putin's plans. They're now openly claiming that Russia is planning to attack the town of Narva on the Russian-Estonian border. Russian state propaganda convinces Russians that Europe won't respond and this attack will help them win. The Russians said exactly the same thing before their invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Back then, we didn't believe it was serious. Now, there's no doubt that Putin will attack Europe.

Massive protests in Prague today, against the pro-Russian kleptocrat Andrej Babis, as he plans to implement Kremlin style "foreign agent" laws to begin the process of turning the country into a shit hole like Russia.

Russia is engaged in the colonization of the occupied territories of Ukraine. Russia has published "development plans for new regions" - the occupied territories of Ukraine. According to these plans, Russia intends to resettle 114,000 Russians in Ukrainian territories by 2045. These include 15 master plans and 10 land-use projects developed by VEB corporation together with Russia's Unified Institute of Spatial Planning. Notably, the plans make no mention of addressing the water shortage in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Russia has virtually destroyed the cities and infrastructure of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions and intends to plunder and colonize the "new territories." The focus is on the occupied territories of the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions and "Priazovye," which, as stated in the Russian plan, has "high tourism potential," and "the Sea of Azov has a flat coastline, sandy beaches, and is suitable for children's tourism. The region also has gastronomic potential, as fish have reappeared in the region, including valuable sturgeon species." The Ukrainian population in the occupied territories is subjected to torture and persecution, and tries to leave their home at the first opportunity. I have a lot of documented evidence on my account. Watch the video below - this is what is happening to Ukrainians in the Russian-occupied Kherson region. Here are the statistics cited by the occupiers themselves: "The population of the Kherson urban area has shrunk from 500,000 to 50,000-60,000 people," the so-called "regional governor" Saldo said back in December 2024. The large-scale resettlement of Russians into the occupied territories and the expulsion of the natives - this was the approach used under Stalin. Putin is repeating these methods. The video shows Kremlin propagandist Anton Krasovsky promoting beach tourism in Russian-occupied Mariupol. As a reminder, by the end of December 2022, around 10,300 new graves were dug in the Mariupol area. This suggests that the number of civilians killed in the Russian invasion of Ukraine may exceed 20,000 people. Residents of occupied Mariupol now regularly complain that local "authorities" are seizing housing from its living owners. Residents also claimed that valuable land in the historic center was handed over to Russian developers for mortgage housing.

🚨 Venedig unter Schock: Der Kreml-Clan übernimmt die Lagune ​Nach zwei Jahren Funkstille öffnet der russische Nationalpavillon in Venedig wieder seine Pforten – doch es ist keine Rückkehr der Kunst, sondern eine Machtdemonstration des russischen Sicherheitsapparats. Die operative Führung liegt direkt in den Händen der Kreml-Erbinnen: Anastasia Karneeva, Tochter des Rostec-Vize und FSB-Generals Nikolai Wolobujew, und Ekaterina Vinokurova, Tochter von Außenminister Sergej Lawrow. Was als kultureller Dialog getarnt wird, ist eine strategische Operation unter der Schirmherrschaft der russischen Rüstungsindustrie. Während russische Raketen ukrainische Museen in Schutt und Asche legen, besetzt die Elite des Aggressors über eine private Agentur die wichtigste Kunstbühne Europas Der aktuelle Bericht von @InformNapalm dokumentiert lückenlos, wie der Kreml die Autonomie europäischer Kulturinstitutionen nutzt, um den Sicherheitsapparat und sanktionierte Eliten mitten im Schengen-Raum zu positionieren. Hinter der Fassade einer „Biennale des Dissens“ agiert ein Netzwerk aus Rüstungsmanagern, FSB-Kadern und den Töchtern der Moskauer Machtelite. ​Die Tragweite dieser Enttarnung ist existenziell: Sie zwingt die EU-Kommission zu einem beispiellosen finanziellen Ultimatum und die Regierung Meloni in eine Zerreißprobe zwischen diplomatischer Solidarität mit Kyjiw und der eigenen kulturellen Souveränität. Hier meine Dokumentation in drei Threads, die die operative Mechanik dieser Einflussnahme aufzeigt: 1.🧵​Die geheimdienstliche Unterwanderung: Wer die 38 Akteure im Pavillon wirklich sind. 2.🧵​Das Ultimatum aus Brüssel: Warum die Finanzierung der gesamten Biennale am seidenen Faden hängt. 3.🧵​Melonis Zerreißprobe: Wie die italienische Regierung versucht, den administrativen Kontrollverlust zu heilen.

Europeans who support Russia over Ukraine are traitors. It’s that simple!

The hypocrisy of this world is staggering. russia a state waging a brutal war, responsible for killing civilians, rape, torture and the kidnapping of Ukrainian children is allowed to compete under the very flag and anthem under which these crimes are committed! Those who made this decision should be held accountable and removed from their positions. @Paralympics

Pope Leo mourns Lebanese priest Fr Pierre El-Rahi, killed by Israeli tank fire. The Maronite Catholic priest was killed in Qlayaa, Lebanon, on Monday as he sought to assist parishioners whose house had been fired upon by an Israeli tank, according to Lebanese media reports. Fr. El-Rahi rushed to the house in the mountainous area of his parish with several young people when the tank struck the house again, wounding Fr. El-Rahi. He was taken to a local hospital, where he died from his wounds.

TRUMP on Russia and Ukraine: "The hatred between Putin and his counterpart is so great. Ukraine, Russia, you think there'd be a little bit of camaraderie there, but the hatred is so great."🔚 Camaraderie? Camaraderie??? They are killing us! They invaded our country out of the blue and have been killing us for years! They bombed an apartment building full of sleeping families in Kharkiv just last night - we are still digging bodies from under the rubble. Camfuckingraderie my ass.
