Er is geen rechtse Kamermeerderheid. Dit voorstel is kansloos.
Kamerlid Rajkowski (VVD) dwingt via procedurevergadering, samen met Ja21, FvD, BBB en SGP, een snelle behandeling af. Politieke piraterij. VVD is ver afgedreven van wat ooit 'n fatsoenlijke bestuurderspartij was. Bedenk je twee keer voordat je daarmee in een coalitie gaat.

On Nov 3, 2022, Erfan Zamani was shot at close range with pellet bullets by plainclothes security forces.
Eyewitnesses stated that he might have survived if he had been taken to the hospital sooner, but the officers prevented people from helping him.

Only 4% believe Labour is capable of delivering radical change. Odd, because Starmer is delivering extremely radical anti-asylum and anti-migration policies, far to the right of anything the Tories ever did. It’s almost as if voters aren’t interested in those kind of policies…
Some grim polling here for Labour from Ipsos beyond the headline figures
-69% think Britain is heading in the wrong direction
-Starmer's satisfaction rating at -66
-50% of the public want "radical change" yet only 4% believe Labour will deliver it.

“The unprecedented step which I hastily took which triggered a minor geopolitical crisis was obviously the right thing to do, which is why I’m reversing it”
The Dutch have handed chipmaker Nexperia back to China following a state visit.
In a statement, economic affairs minister Vincent Karremans said the move was a "show of goodwill."

Not sure what’s worse: the “Quiet, piggy” itself, or the media’s tepid shrug at it. What a tawdry and disappointing time we live in. We deserve so much better than this.

If the President can impose his own taxes and use the proceeds to spend on his own projects, all without Congress, we have a dictatorship not a constitutional republic.
BREAKING: Deputy White House Chief of Staff James Blair said the administration is eyeing ways to give millions of Americans $2,000 dividend checks from tariff revenue without congressional approval, per Bloomberg.

Die verwijzing naar de Kreeftskeerkring was een oplossing voor een Frans probleem. Washington kon formeel geen belofte doen om koloniën van Europese bondgenoten te beschermen. Maar indirect kon het wel, door de zuidgrens vd alliantie zo te trekken dat Frans Algerije erbinnen viel…
Ik hoor een expert bij Eva vertellen dat de NAVO de ABC-eilanden zal verdedigen, mochten die worden aangevallen. Dat is niet het geval. Aruba, Bomaire en Curaçao vallen buiten het NAVO-verdragsgebied, want zuidelijk van de Kreeftskeerkring. Zoe Art. 6 van het NAVO-verdrag.

Het uiterst rechtse & extreemrechtse blok is 49 stemmen groot. Er hebben nog 20 andere leden op Bosma gestemd…
Deze patronen in het stemgedrag suggereren een sterke Anyone But Bosma-dynamiek in de verkiezing van de Tweede Kamervoorzitter.
Van Campen is verkozen tot voorzitter van de nieuwe Tweede Kamer. Het aantal stemmen per kandidaat was in drie stemrondes als volgt:
Eerste ronde:
Bosma 66
Van der Lee 43
Van Campen 39
Tweede ronde:
Bosma 67
Van Campen 49
Van der Lee 32
>>> v/d Lee valt af
Derde ronde:
Van Campen 79
Bosma 69

A lot of people didn’t like the Washington Post journalist who was tortured and dismembered with a bone saw for writing critically about the man sitting next to me
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Imagine escaping the literal Nazis, making it to America, living three quarters of a century there making your life, and then this:
79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.
He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.
