This may be the most absurd idea of Trump's second term, which is really saying something
New: Sources from three countries confirm that the Trump Administration has advocated Viktor Orbán for UN Secretary-General.
The US has encouraged Orbán to enter the race, even bringing him the initial idea of a joint U.S.-Russia-China candidacy.

Norway's controversial 2021–2024 reforms nearly doubled the tax on business wealth. Firms of affected owners did not invest less, and outmigration was limited to the very top, from @Mariusring nber.org/papers/w35854

Kasparov, who pretends to be a serious figure, is comparing one of the world’s most distinguished jurists, a former South African and ICC and Rwanda Tribunal judge, to a ‘Hamas bomb maker.’
These are not serious people. Just lazy pro-Israel partisans.

During the Olympiad, Erdogmus has smashed yet-another record:
🏆 Highest-rated 15 y/o (ahead of Wei Yi's 2721)
He already had these:
🏆 Highest-rated 14 y/o
🏆 Highest-rated 13 y/o
🏆 Highest-rated 12 y/o
🏆 Youngest-ever 2600
🏆 Youngest-ever 2700
On breaking the record for youngest 2700: "I'm giving a lot of time to chess, I mean I think I deserve these records. I'm giving my best all the time."
On the game vs. Faustino Oro: "I was focusing on the game, not the opponent."

Strålende OL-prestasjon av 18-åringen Aksel Bu Kvaløy. Vinner seks og tre remis. Likevel svakt OL for Norge siden de andre på laget skuffer. Også under pari i kvinneklassen.
Men 🎉 for Aksel 😊♟️
På kvinnelaget gikk Nina Hagesæther i null ratingmessig, mens de andre gikk litt eller mye i minus. Det er tøffe tak i OL med mange unge, sultne spillere.
