Jan-Jaap van Peperstraten past historische bronnenkritiek toe en fileert het werk van een nephistoricus. En dat speelt zich deels af in Zeeuws Vlaanderen! open.substack.com/pub/nijman…

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.
