Kuyper was een van de oprichters van de Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, hoofdredacteur van dagblad De Standaard en speelde een belangrijke rol bij de vorming van de Gereformeerde Kerken. Van 1901 tot 1905 was hij minister-president. Zijn optreden riep zowel bewondering als weerstand op. 2/3

Moscow is currently under attack. 🔥🔥🔥
Moscow’s airports are closed, and flights are being delayed—the cause is an attack involving drones and balloons carrying payloads.
Debris from drones lies scattered at Sheremetyevo Airport.

New American Research Group poll:
Trump Approval: 29%
Disapproval: 67%
Trump’s approval rating is historically low, but it is still far too high relative to what it should be.
People who voted for him need to admit that they made a mistake and reject this morally bankrupt administration.
If the Republican Party is ever to recover from this, it must first acknowledge the damage that has been done by MAGA and reject the corruption and moral bankruptcy of the Trump administration.

More than 420,000 emails allegedly stolen from AfD accounts have been published online, containing internal party expulsion proceedings and extremist messages, including Nazi slogans and discussions of violence against a photographer.
The leaked data reportedly also includes identity documents, bank statements, invoices and membership lists
The authenticity of individual messages has not been independently verified, though the AfD has confirmed the cyberattack.
The AfD leads German federal election polls at 28.4%, ahead of the CDU/CSU at 19.5%.

When 🇺🇸 Witkoff calls 🇷🇺 Putin "a humanitarian", he's spitting on the graves of all the victims of Bucha, Mariupol and Izium.
He's spitting on the graves of all those hundreds and hudreds of Ukrainian children that Russia killed in this war - and in the faces of their parents.
