La vallée a été purement et simplement raclée sur plusieurs dizaines de mètres de haut. Je crois que l'on tient là le phénomène de débâcle glaciaire le plus important jamais documenté.

🕊️ C’est avec une profonde tristesse que nous apprenons la disparition d’Arthur Bodson, à l’âge de 94 ans. 🎓 Ancien recteur de l’Université de Liège, grande figure libérale et liégeoise, il a consacré sa vie au savoir, à l’enseignement et au service de l’intérêt général. 💙 Proche de Jean Gol et administrateur délégué du @CentreJeanGol de 2008 à 2013, Arthur Bodson aura marqué notre famille politique par son érudition, son engagement et sa fidélité aux valeurs libérales. 🥀 Le Mouvement Réformateur adresse ses plus sincères condoléances à sa famille, à ses proches et à toutes celles et ceux qui ont eu la chance de le côtoyer.

Des électeurs LFI se moquent du film l'Abandon consacré à Samuel Paty. On entend "Attention il meurt à la fin", des rires, et "Votez LFI". LFI est un parti IslamoGauchiste pro-hamas. Voter LFI c'est voter pour la haine. Ecoutez à partir de 0'37 Sec. #LAbandon Src @PafLeMeilleur

«Raté!» Rappeler ce moment extraordinaire. Berlin, 1987, le flegme absolu de Reagan à la détonation d’un ballon qui éclate -malgré le traumatisme de l’attentat de 1981 où il avait été gravement blessé.

L’humour de Reagan alors qu’il est gravement atteint, à l’équipe chirurgicale intervenant en urgence: « J’espère que vous êtes tous républicains? »
C’est dans ce même hôtel Hilton de Washington que le président Reagan avait été la cible de tirs en mars 1981, deux mois après son élection. Reagan avait été alité deux semaines. →l.lefigaro.fr/vZ0F

En ce 24 avril, la République commémore le génocide des Arméniens de 1915 et s'incline devant la mémoire des victimes. C'est une occasion de se souvenir, de transmettre et de souligner le lien indissoluble qui unit la France à l'Arménie et les Français aux Arméniens.

Bob Mueller was one of the finest directors in the history of the FBI, transforming the bureau after 9/11 and saving countless lives. But it was his relentless commitment to the rule of law and his unwavering belief in our bedrock values that made him one of the most respected public servants of our time. Michelle and I send our condolences to Bob’s family, and everyone who knew and admired him.

« Ma patrie, c’est la langue française. » Cette patrie d’Albert Camus est désormais la quatrième plus importante au monde avec près de 400 millions de locuteurs. En cette Journée internationale de la Francophonie, continuons à la faire vivre, à la défendre et à l’aimer. La francophonie porte en elle l’héritage des siècles, le goût des nuances, la promesse du dialogue et l’idéal universaliste que nos écrivains n’ont cessé de porter, de Pascal à Hugo, de Senghor à Césaire. Notre langue progresse, elle rassemble et traverse les frontières comme un fleuve qui emporte des imaginaires et des cultures, des combats et des espérances : le monde. La langue française est un trésor. Alors lisons, partageons, enseignons et faisons rayonner la Cité internationale de la langue française à Villers-Cotterêts, cœur battant de cette francophonie dont nous pouvons être très fiers. Vive la langue française !

Brutal 👊🏻
BREAKING: French General Michel Yakovleff HUMILIATES Trump for begging Europe to get involved in his Iran War, says that it would be like "buying cheap tickets for the Titanic" after it hit the iceberg. This is beyond brutal... "We have five reasons to say no to him, in fact," said Yakovleff. "So, the first one is that he didn't understand that if he wants to carry out a NATO operation, NATO has to take command. So, there will be an American general, but it's a single operation." “You can’t have an American operation where they’re bombing whatever they can and then below that, the Europeans doing something else,” Yakovleff said. “No, no, no, it has to be one sole operation, under a NATO flag. I don’t think he understood that.” Yakovleff served as a three general in the French Army, was commander of the French Foreign Legion, and served in top positions in NATO. He's a highly respected military expert in France and regularly weighs in on issues of international importance. Trump has been pleading with allied nations to get involved in his Iran fiasco. Iranian missiles and drones have made it impossible for oil tankers to obtain insurance to traverse the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world's petroleum normally passes. Oil prices are skyrocketing. So far, Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the European Union have refused Trump's request. General Yakovleff went on to point out that Trump's strategic goals, beyond forcing open the strait, are vague and undefined. If NATO nations were even going to consider involvement, they would need the United States to explain explicitly in writing what the goals are. "And it's not tweets, and it's not things that change every two minutes. So, already there, it's going to be necessary for Trump himself to know what he wants," said the general. He said that there's also the issue of the lack of "confidence" in Trump. It's well-known that he regularly abandons his allies and he could do so here immediately after other nations got involved. “He would let us down whenever it suited him," said Yakovleff. He ended his tirade by comparing Trump to the captain of the Titanic trying to "sell cheap tickets" for his voyage "after having hit the iceberg." “And the last argument is American: you don’t reinforce failure. I learnt that at the U.S. Army War College. You don’t reinforce failure, you move on, you find something else.” he added. "So, there are a lot of reasons to say no." Please ❤️ and share if you think that the Iran War is a total disaster!
