Even the European Commission is now warning about Belgium’s ridiculously expensive government structure.

Belgium spends 54.4% of GDP on government expenditure, compared to 50.1% in Germany, 49.4% across the EU and just 45.2% in the Netherlands.

That’s a difference equivalent to roughly €32 BILLION a year compared to the EU average. Almost the entire annual budget deficit.

And what do people get in return?

Overlapping governments, duplicated administration, unnecessary costs and slower decision-making. Without better public services.

We’re talking about a country of barely 12 million people.

Already one of the most heavily taxed countries in the world, yet apparently still unable to afford its own government.

Maybe it’s time to question how much government we actually need.

How voters shifted from 2024 to 2026

White evangelicals shifted one point to the right and Catholics shifted 18 POINTS to the left.

The based trad Catholic rosary-clutching closeted homo moment is over. Aura completely shredded.

The Miller appointment is literally the best move of the admin and ofc you have this gay Mexican retard counter-signalling because what, he’s Jewish?

At this point it’s just Antisemitism for the sake of it. There’s left wing Jews, there’s right wing Jews, and believe it or not there are Jews that put America before Israel. Kissinger would be an example: "First I am an American, second I am a secretary of state, third I am a Jew"

Ik that’s hard to grasp, especially for a Catholic, but the world isn’t always black and white. “All Jews are evil” is just a self report take at this point. Miller is an absolute patriot and easily the most nationalistic man in the whole admin.

WILL A BLACK MONDAY CRASH HAPPEN TOMORROW?

After last week's bloodbath, people are wondering whether Monday open could be brutal for the markets.

And they have reasons for that.

- Democrats win have created a fear in AI stocks.

- Global AI bubble is popping.

- US is launching mini strikes on Iran again.

- VIX had its 3rd biggest daily spike in history last week.

- Big funds are rapidly exiting the AI debt.

- Odds of a Fed rate hike are surging again.

Also, the Friday bounce was mostly shorts covering, and there's still a lot of fear in the market, so we could see another selloff again.

Now, what I mean by a Black Monday crash is not something that happened in 1987, but more like what we saw this Thursday.

Will it happen again?

French presidential hopeful Jean-Luc Mélenchon has unveiled a left-wing political platform featuring radical promises of earlier retirement, shorter working hours and expanded government benefits ahead of the 2027 election.

The 75-year-old politician's proposals include:

•⁠ ⁠Lowering the retirement age from 64 to 60

•⁠ ⁠Increasing pensions

•⁠ ⁠Reducing the workweek to 32 hours

•⁠ ⁠Providing national health insurance covering 100% of medical costs

•⁠ ⁠Increasing housing benefits by 10%

•⁠ ⁠Introducing price controls on essential products

•⁠ ⁠Offering €1 meals to students

•⁠ ⁠Phasing out nuclear power

Mélenchon's France Unbowed is a major force on the French left, and he could emerge as a challenger to Marine Le Pen in the presidential election's second round.

With France's aging population and plummeting birth rates, who can guess how Mélenchon intends to deliver these promises?

Two passenger jets almost COLLIDED MID-AIR shortly after taking off from LAX, with just 400 feet of vertical separation between them.

The incident occurred early yesterday morning when an Air France Airbus A350 made an unauthorized left turn, crossing into the flight path of an American Airlines Airbus heading to Dallas.

The two aircraft could collectively have been carrying more than 500 passengers.

Air traffic controllers spotted the developing danger and immediately instructed both pilots to turn away from each other, preventing a potentially catastrophic collision.

The Air France crew was subsequently questioned about its deviation from the assigned departure route.

Both aircraft continued safely to their destinations, with no injuries reported.

A senior Iranian lawmaker warns that 8 MILLION Iranians face absolute poverty and malnutrition, while up to 50 MILLION struggle to afford basic necessities.

Ali Babai Karamani, chairman of parliament's social affairs committee, said many Iranians are being forced to work multiple jobs just to survive.

The news comes as Trump faces growing pressure following the midterms, pushing him toward a ceasefire with Iran rather than another military escalation.

With that pressure, and Iranians supposedly struggling, could we be getting close to a breakthrough?

The math lines up that way, at least...
