I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Onsdag 26. november er det igjen donaudagen, datoen da 529 norske jøder ble deportert fra Oslo med DS Donau. En fin måte å markere dette på, er at vi også i år pusser snublesteinene og gjerne setter igjen et egna lys.

Her har Frp rett, mens Høyres Thorheim har lært handelspolitikk av Trump. Norsk toll på import av tekstiler bør fjernes helt. e24.no/naeringsliv/...
Ingen har svar på Temu-floken
Partiene på Stortinget ber regjeringen å finne en løsning. Selv MDG har gått fra å foreslå avvikling til å ønske seg en utredning.

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

To nye tegn på at Trump møter motbør i eget parti:
1. Amatørplanen til Witkoff og svigersønnen for Ukraina kastes i virkeligheten ut av vinduet av Rubio.
2. Trumps helse-"plan" settes på vent pga motstand i Kongressen. newrepublic.com/post/203622/...

Det kastes bort utallige spaltemetre/prat på stadige nye runder med spekulasjoner om fredsplaner i Ukraina ved å ikke ta inn over seg et grunnleggende faktum: Inntil «facts on the ground» endres kraftig i en av partenes favør, er det umulig å konstruere en plan som begge parter vil godta. 1/2

Dekningen av Ukraina-forhandlingene burde reflektere at ALLE parter juger så det renner av dem. Ukraine og EU smigrer og underslår hvor uenige de er, og hvor rasende de er på Trumps undergraving og dumhet. Rubio juger for å ikke irritere Trump. Russerne juger, alltid. Og vi er LANGT unna en avtale.

I mean it's not complicated. Twenty people who were there have confirmed that Nigel Farage said all of these things.

He's the only one denying it, which means just one thing. He is a liar

Twenty people allege he has a racist past. He denies it. Who’s telling the truth about Farage’s schooldays?

Our people really, really want this war to end. We are, of course, made of steel, but even the strongest metal can give way. Don't forget that. Stand with Ukraine, stand with our people. And therefore, stand with dignity and freedom.
