Mijn nieuwste artikel is zojuist verschenen in Historiek! Het stuk handelt over prins Bernhard. Twintig jaar na zijn overlijden vindt in ons land nog steeds veel discussie plaats over zijn persoon en handelen en daaraan poogt dit artikel bij te dragen.

Denmark has labeled the United States as a potential security concern for the first time in an annual report released by one of its intelligence agencies, offering more evidence of the increasingly fraught transatlantic alliance between Europe and the US.

Well, I wasn’t planning to visit the world championship of football anyway. Because of Trump!
The Trump administration plans to require all foreign tourists to provide their social media histories from the last five years to enter the country.

Yes, I said TOURISTS — not immigrants. This is insane. It will DECIMATE the U.S. tourism industry.
Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan
The Customs and Border Protection proposal would apply even to countries that don't require visas to enter.

Trump administration warns Europe of 'civilisational decline' in new national security strategy

The same Trump administration that has been characterising Somalis, Haitians and others as unwelcome in the USA - now extends its white nationalist rhetoric to Europe.

Ron Fresen:een merkwaardig frame: ‘Jetten moet water bij de wijn doen’. Waarom eigenlijk? D66 staat mijlenver af van JA21. De vraag is niet waarom Jetten zou moeten inleveren, maar waarom de VVD het land gijzelt voor een samenwerking met een partij die het politieke midden afbreekt. #EVA #AVROTROS

The corrupt Supreme Court on Thursday allowed Texas to use a gerrymandered congressional map that will boost Trump’s effort to keep Republicans in control of Congress, blocking a lower court decision that found the new boundaries were likely unconstitutional because they were drawn based on race.

While Cabinet members praise his energy and fitness, Trump sleeps.

No satire in the history of film and television has ever been this on the mark.
