Andrea Bocelli speaking on the BBC about the Winter Olympics opening.
He reminded us that three things are essential for humanity,- truth, goodness, and beauty.
In difficult times, we need more gestures like these offering hope and a bit of quiet optimism that beaty still helps through darkness . ✨

Nu, vai būs šodien izpelníjušies Mazo Mieriņa Prēmiju ierosinātāji Liepiņa, Zivtiņš, Armaņeva, Krištopans, Stobova, Jencītis, Drelinga, Petraviča, Pleškāne, Šlesers?

Satraucoši, ka PTAC un politiķiem vairāk rūp aizdevēju, nevis sabiedrības intereses. Ja 14 % iedzīvotāju bez ienākumiem var iztikt mazāk par mēnesi un 10 % nav uzkrājumu vispār, tad viegla ātro kredītu pieejamība šai riska grupai var radīt arī drošības riskus.
Skatos KNL. 😅Kopš kura laika PTAC un EM aizstāv ātro kredītu devēju intereses?

Lasu, ko kolēģi te ziņo, un rodas jautājums, vai šodienas jaunumus izraisa kādas klimata anomālijas, pēcpilnmēness fāze vai arī ir izsludināta kāda trako festivāla parāde? Crazy is the new black?

Tas ir prātam neaptverami, ka Latvijas parlamentā vispār var tikt skatīts šāds jautājums laikā, kad Tramps spiež Ukrainu atteikties no tās teritorijām, rotā savu kabinetu ar Putina bildēm, balsta Maduro režīmu (jā, Maduro ir cietumā, bet režīms ir vietā un pumpē naftu ASV) un apdraud Dāniju, Kanādu
Ceturtdien mēs kļūsim par valstiņu, kuras sabiedrība tās ievēlēto pārstāvju balsojumā būs izlēmusi izstāties no Stambulas konvencijas un piešķirt Miera prēmiju vardarbīgam autokrātam ar izvarošanas prāvu kontā un aizdomām pedofīlijā. Šo šausmīgo apkaunojumu virzošie politiskie spēki un viņu...

Par Ogres novada domes priekšsēdētāju ārkārtas sēdē ievēlēts Andris Krauja (NA).
Līdz šim Krauja domē pildīja priekšsēdētāja vietnieka pienākumus un vadīja sēdes iepriekšējā mērā Egila Helmaņa (NA) darbnespējas laikā.
Jau vēstīts, ka E. Helmanis šorīt paziņoja par atkāpšanos no amata.

Donald Trump did not discover Greenland.
NATO’s Been Talking About Greenland for Years
The island matters a lot—not as territory to acquire but as a linchpin of deterrence.

Strategic coordination, shared “risks”…

Humanity’s most abundant renewable resource is unjustified self-confidence.

This is insane. Kyiv has been under an intense russian drone attack for more than 4h now. In broad daylight, russia executes a city of 4M people. With full impunity, russia destroys Ukraine. #russiaisaterroriststate

The world order feels unhinged, yet many in official roles keep speaking as if polite conversation can still carry reality.
My sincere respect to the professionals who keep working as it grows more exhausting by the day.
Honestly, sometimes I just want to scream.

Watching BBC coverage of Trump’s comments on Afghan troops. The leader of the “free world” reducing real sacrifice to verbal sludge. How can someone in power treat service members with such negligence and disgrace? Outrageous.

Chaos around Donald Trump is loud. But Russia’s war is destroying Russia itself. Europe is slower but still stronger. Russia alone decides whether to stop and save itself or continue self-destruction.

Reading Bloomberg today, the Nobel categories feel incomplete. There should be a prize for “Most Dangerous Being on the Planet”, awarded to an aging American figure shaped by colonial thinking and detached from present reality. Trump has, objectively, earned it.

Watching the political noise from the United States, and then listening to Keir Starmer, the contrast is clear. In a moment of global uncertainty, I hope Europe remains united, steady, and committed to responsible leadership.
