MAGA has no culture beyond online rage. There is no revival of Christianity or patriotism. MAGA is hurting manufacturing, canceling infrastructure, blocking energy, gutting research, and slowing the economy. This is a movement that builds NOTHING. noahpinion.blog/p/maga-doesnt-…

Cardinal Parolin: We recognized #Palestine a long time ago 💬 ➡️ We recognized it a long time ago, so for us that is the solution—that is, the recognition of two states living side by side as neighbors romereports.com/en/2025/07/28/…
The attacks on Palestinian Christians by Israel is one of the outrages of our time, yet those who normally care about Christian persecution seem largely silent about what is happening on the West Bank.
The only entirely Christian Palestinian village - Taibeh - in the West Bank was once again the target of an attack during the night between Sunday, 27 July and Monday. vaticannews.va/en/world/news/…
Het woord "conservatief" is zo langzamerhand wel van elke betekenis ontledigd.

Collingwood interestingly argued that the atonement was not just a matter of God suffering sin on our behalf, but also repenting on our behalf. The sinner never feels enough shame; the innocent God is truly ‘ashamed’ that his Creation has been contaminated.
Op 22 juli is mijn vader, Wim Hartog, overleden. Wim had vele gedaanten, maar voor de buitenwereld was hij toch vooral dé vertaler van Konstantin Paustovski — die bezeten toewijding aan de literatuur en de Nederlandse taal heeft hem tot het eind van zijn leven vergezeld.

The EU (at least its current leadership & also many national leaders – or rather followers) is total disaster. It's neither Left nor Right. It's a state of denial, of not seeing which is self-evident to the senses & the intellect. It's similar to China just before the Opium Wars.
Op deze dag in 1914 begon de Eerste Wereldoorlog met de Oostenrijk-Hongaarse invasie van Servië, gevolgd door de Duitse aanval op Frankrijk. Een verschrikkelijke oorlog met in West-Europa de loopgraven zonder noemenswaardige vooruitgang, waarbij miljoenen jonge mannen omkwamen

So, nothing really happened to those people who refused to take Covid-19 vaccine.
Too early but having watched “populism in power” for 6 months three things come to mind. 1. It’s inherently anti-intellectual and thus it hates even the intellectuals on its own side and thus any notion of truth or history itself.
Now that “antiwoke” seems to have exhausted itself—producing little of lasting value and being unable to establish the “rival institutions” it talked about—the tide is turning back towards liberal progressivism. Not in the same shape as before, to be sure, but similar.

Op deze dag in 1939 viel het kabinet-Colijn V al na 2 dagen. Een record! De formatie had niet geleid, volgens de motie van wantrouwen, tot een kabinet, dat de "waarborgen biedt voor een deugdelijke behartiging van 's Lands belang in gemeen overleg met de Staten-Generaal"
