Extraordinary that Trump's allies in Europe are three dictatorships, Russia, Hungary and Belarus What he loathes is any kind of democracy

Three weeks ahead of the Hungarian elections, the president of the United States is now recording messages of support for the pro-Russian Hungarian autocrat Viktor Orbán, the man who has managed to turn Hungary into the EU’s most corrupt and second poorest country.

Are you claiming that the the Russian SVR report obtained by the WaPo and quoted in this document is a forgery? If so, do you have evidence of this claim?

A girl gets sexually assaulted at a Winnipeg School. Instead of protecting her, school officials gaslighted her & her family, telling them if she felt uncomfortable being in gym class w/ the boy who assulted her, she could leave.

So the trick is I really like my wife and kids

@johnmilbank3 @WestLondonMan What a snobby response—likely because Milbank cannot make an empirical argument for what helps the poor more. Having noble ideas is not enough. It helps to actually study reality regarding what helps the poor.

@WestLondonMan Luke Bretherton is unusually excellent here. Yes the bottom line with Christian nationalists (recycled public school Calvinists that one used to avoid at Oxbridge parties) is that they are libertarian capitalists. American money is the beginning and end of it.

@roddreher @PM_ViktorOrban Rod, he’s a shill for Putin and security risk for NATO. I cannot believe you have undermined your Live Not By Lies book with your support for him. It’s embarrassing and beneath you.

Whatever you think of @PM_ViktorOrban, Trump is absolutely correct here that Orban has kept strong borders, even in the face of EU punishment, and that has made a tremendous positive difference for Hungary.

Why is the Trump administration so committed to helping pro-Russian parties win elections in Europe? How does that help with NATO burden-sharing or competition with China?

The widespread belief that free speech is common in the West is so completely incorrect. It is the rarest of things. Did You Hurt Someone’s Dignity? In Canada, It Can Cost You. thefp.com/p/did-you-hurt…

“Because the horror of Communism, Stalinism, is not that bad people do bad things — they always do. It's that good people do horrible things thinking they are doing something great.” Slavoj Žižek, born 21st March 1949

@PLeithart Empirically problematic. Why are the more denominational diverse countries higher in belief and practice (USA, Ireland, South Korea, etc.) and the less diverse countries (e.g., Sweden, Norway, England, France, Spain, and Italy) more secularized?

"The primary cause of the secularization of Western culture has been the religious divisions between Christians." -Christopher Dawson

That the Kremlin and USG are both interfering in Hungary to get the corrupt and divisive Orban govt reelected should serve as a warning. Trump and Putin are intent on weakening European unity and support for Ukraine. British, French and German elections will be targeted likewise.

The Kremlin and the White House are doing everything possible to reelect Viktor Orbán to a sixth term as prime minister. This is sinister stuff -- and a sign of the new alignment. Americans ought to retch in disgust. washingtonpost.com/world/2026/03/…

Hungary immediately leaks all EU talks to Moscow. Sijjarto “reported” directly to Lavrov about the EU meetings, - The Washington Post. According to the newspaper, the Hungarian Foreign Minister called Moscow directly during the EU meetings and relayed details of the discussions to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Sources say this communication allowed Russia to stay informed about the internal discussions of the European Union. Sijjarto himself has not commented on the situation. However, he has visited Moscow several times since 2022 and met with the Russian leadership.

BREAKING: It’s now confirmed that yesterday’s arson attack on a drone manufacturing plant in Pardubice, Czechia had nothing to do with the Israeli defense tech company Elbit Systems as initially claimed. The drones were being produced for Ukraine. Several attacks have been carried out by “anti-Israel activists” against European defense companies which provide weapons to Ukraine. It seems that Russian security services are using a combination of agents and anti-Israeli useful idiots in Europe to attack companies selling or donating weapons to Ukraine. 🇨🇿🇺🇦

Speaking to the Jewish community in Rome, Pope John Paul II made crystal clear the teaching of the Catholic Church on 1) the brotherhood of Jews and Christians; 2) the sinfulness of anti-Jewish hatred and prejudice; and 3) the irrevocability of God's covenant with the Jewish people: "The Jewish religion is not 'extrinsic' to us, but in a certain way is 'intrinsic' to our own religion. With Judaism therefore we have a relationship which we do not have with any other religion. You are our dearly beloved brothers and, in a certain way, you are our elder brothers. On the basis of this brotherhood renewed by Christ, the Church rejects every form of discrimination and anti-Semitism. She condemns them as contrary to the very spirit of Christianity. She deplores all hatred, persecutions, displays of anti-Semitism directed against the Jews at any time and by anyone.... The covenant between God and the Jewish people has never been revoked. 'The gifts and the call of God are irrevocable' (Rom 11:29).

Canada has observed the largest decline in happiness in the world (along with the UK)

I was always angry, and I had a huge hole in my heart. Nothing made me happy. Then I got married to a God-fearing woman, and at home she would read the Bible every morning. After a while she said, "do you want me to read aloud to you?" So I sat down, and she started reading the Bible aloud to me, every morning. Eventually I said, "Well, let me read it," and so I started to read it aloud to her. And then it was like the Lord said to me "Chuck, it's time to come home. It's been long enough." And now my heart is filled up again.' ☩ Chuck Norris 1940-2026
