If you want to know what is wrong with the Internet, and with Facebook, it is people posting slander—without any evidence, of course.
They do it against Trump, against Netanyahu, against Musk. Of course, you see a pattern.

But I have a question. In a world where political systems tend to reflect the cultural traditions of nations, only a few, Israel among them, do not. The Israeli system is a European transplant, reflecting the politics of Eastern Europe and its Christian heritage,

Which Visegrad country has the most sustainable model of popular right wing politics?
Intuition is Czech model is better than the Hungarian model and possibly even the Polish model in the long-run. Hungarian model just invites a reaction, wants to fight against modernity on every single front, have Eva Vladivostokbeeblebrox lecture you at every opportunity…

OTD in 1949 Operation Priboi started. USSR forcibly deported *90,000* Baltic people to 'inhospitable parts' of Russia. 70% of those deported were women & children under 16.
Imagine mass deporting children today....

Attempts to return home were punishable. Those who organized the deportations received medals. We do not understand why Estonians are not grateful to us for this.
Da. Prez is aware that "inhospitable parts of Russia" is tautology.

We (and various pseudo academics*) genuinely pretend there's no way to explain why NATO is so obviously popular with so many of our former colonies. Total, unexplainable mystery. Especially seeing as we don't whitewash these crimes at all and aren't repeating them right now.
40% of russian 🇷🇺 oil exports are currently stopped after Ukraine 🇺🇦 attacked the Primorsk, Ust-Luga and Novorossiisk crude oil ports.
At the same time, the Druzhba pipeline remains closed and multiple refineries have been hit. This is a big blow to Russia.

With the war in Iran and the closure of the Hormuz Strait, the oil and gas prices have climbed.
Russia was hoping to capitalize on the situation to sell more oil and gas at higher prices, in order to rebuild its finances.
However, Ukraine acted to stop this.

The UK’s Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) says it is reviewing how Hertfordshire Police handled sexual abuse complaints against Andrew Tate.

You’re misunderstanding how the Fathers use the word “Scripture.”
Historically, the term is used in both a broad and a narrow sense—and if you miss that distinction, you’ll misread the evidence every time 🧵1

In the narrow sense, “Scripture” refers to the canonical books: inspired, certain, and binding for doctrine.
But in the broad sense, “Scripture” can include all books read in the Church for edification—even if some of them are not doctrinally authoritative. 2

There is a 2-tier framework found throughout the Fathers (for that broader sense):
• Canonical books → fully authoritative, single-handedly used to establish doctrine.
• Ecclesiastical (non-canonical) books → useful, edifying, but NOT doctrinally binding in isolation. 3

This isn't to say mayors shouldn't be doing the stuff Mamdani is doing. Making peoples lives better in material visible ways is great. But its going to have an outsized impact when it happens in NYC vs literally anywhere else in the country.
