Europeans are beginning to realise that the split is deeper this time

Economist editor-in-chief Zanny Minton Beddoes says Europeans have realised that the NATO crisis is more serious than they assumed, and that there is a genuine risk of the alliance breaking apart.

Norway’s state broadcaster: -Is Trump mentally fit?

NRK’s newsreader asks Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide: ‘Is Trump mentally competent?’ NRK pathologizes the US president and asks Norway’s foreign minister for a comment. He does not dismiss the question as unserious and malicious, but instead pretends it is a legitimate one: Trump’s statements go further than what we are used to from that side.

Trump on the edge in Iran

Trump has given the Iranian mullah regime a deadline until Tuesday evening to enter into a ceasefire. If not, he will attack Iran’s power plants and bridges. But what does he have up his sleeve? He is unlikely to quickly suspend the Iranian campaign.

Ukraine is a laboratory for European drone production

Europeans are being fed propaganda against the USA and Israel. It is not for nothing that Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant have been indicted and are wanted for war crimes. Had the International Criminal Court dared, they would also have indicted Trump and Hegseth. When one contrasts this moral outrage with what the Europeans themselves are doing in Ukraine, the picture looks very different.

Democrats’ criticism of Trump and the war in Iran seems endless

Democrats in the USA and the socialists who control international organisations such as the UN and the EU share the same attitude towards the war in Iran. Under Trump, the United States is doing everything wrong, Iran is being subjected to aggression, and only dialogue can lead out of the conflict. We have heard it all before.

Norwegian parliament demands zero growth in car traffic – Bike parking instead of car parks

No sooner had the County Governor in Trondheim demanded 1,099 bicycle parking spaces at a new IKEA store than a demand arrived for 481 more outside the Coop Mega supermarket at Randaberg. This madness stems from a parliamentary decision to enforce zero growth in car traffic until 2050. The climate train rolls on.

The mysterious stranger

Where has the classic man gone? The one who smoked with style, drank his whisky neat, grabbed his hat and coat, and rushed out the door at the slightest suspicion of a damsel in distress? The world of men has shrunk and become a soft little gadget. Our old idols and role models have been declared outlaws. We have no role models left.

Continue to turn a blind eye when hate is preached, and society is lost

The sermons of hatred and violence that have been spread in a mosque in Kristianstad are not an isolated incident. They are a wake-up call, warning of a religiously rooted hatred that threatens our entire democratic society. But is the alarm ringing too late?

2026 marks a dividing line between two eras

When the history books are written, 2026 — the year NATO fell apart — will be regarded as equally epoch-making as 1789, 1914, 1939 and 1991, when the Soviet Union was officially dissolved. It has been the arrangement of all time for ungrateful Europeans, who have now squandered it away.

The age of self-publishing is near

We need personally engaged writers and texts that dare to break the consensus, but the established system is a filtering mechanism designed to keep dissidents down. That is why I believe self-publishing will be the future. Matt Goodwin is leading the way with his new book Suicide of a Nation.
