Mange tror fortsatt myten om at «Norge var et fattig land før vi fant olje".
Sannheten er at alt i 1960 var Norge nr 10 i BNP/innbygger.

Today, November 25th 2024 is the day we officially learned that justice in America, in fact, does NOT matter. #sad
The moral of the story, kids: It’s fine to try to stop the peaceful transfer of power and incite a mob to storm the Capitol and do all you can to overturn an election as long as you run again and win 🇺🇸

The Trump criminal cases were sabotaged by a SCOTUS he stacked and a judge he nominated.
MAGA folks are going to try to gaslight that the cases against Trump “fell apart” as opposed to the truth.
FWIW I will only refer to Trump as “our criminal president” and I suggest every Democrat do the same.

I'm not exaggerating: as a historian I consider it to be historical fact that this is one of the most shameful documents in the history of the United States.
It's a concession by federal law enforcement that there's no means available to it to punish one of the biggest traitors in American history.

«VGs tidligere politiske redaktør har her begått et ideologisk forsvar for servilitet som utenrikspolitisk ledestjerne». Treffsikkert fra utenriksminister Espen Barth Eide. Kraftfullt og nødvendig oppgjør med Hanne Skartveits utdaterte og prinsippløse syn på norsk utenrikspolitikk.
Meninger: Espen Barth Eide: – Jeg er dypt uenig med Hanne Skartveits analyse og råd til meg
VGs Hanne Skartveit gir i sin kommentar klar beskjed om at hun er dypt uenig med meg og med sentrale valg i norsk utenrikspolitikk. Jeg kan forvisse Skartveit om at dette er gjensidig.

På denne dagen for 80 år siden ble motstandsmannen og fagforeningsmannen Reidar Olsen torturert til døde av nazistene.
I kveld er han blitt hedret i Bergen, på det som forhåpentligvis snart heter Reidar Olsens plass.
Selv fikk jeg æren av å holde en tale - og å møte de to sønnene hans.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
