"I strongly condemn the vile attack on Prime Minister Robert Fico.
Such acts of violence have no place in our society and undermine democracy, our most precious common good.
My thoughts are with PM Fico and his family."
— President von der Leyen, 15 May 2024
Today, for the first time on this platform, I feel the need to address a matter far outside my usual topics. It's with a heavy heart that I speak on the political violence that has shaken my home country, Slovakia. I am shocked to my very core.
After recent physical attacks on politicians in a number of EU Member States, the unthinkable has become a reality. For the first time in our history, a horrifying attack has been carried out against a political figure with deadly intentions. This assault on Prime Minister Robert Fico is not just an act of violence against an individual but an attack on the very principles of our democracy. It is an unprecedented attack on our whole country.
This event marks a critical escalation in what can only be described as a political war, one that has fostered tremendous division and hatred among the public. Unfortunately, in the aftermath of the attack, rather than calls for unity, we've witnessed further polarising responses from some political figures...
This must end. We need to come together. My thoughts are with Prime Minister Fico and his family during this incredibly challenging time.
This week, Germany awaits another parliamentary vote on the delivery of TAURUS. For sure, Chancellor Scholz’ loyal SPD members won’t change their minds. And most likely, only a handful of Liberal and Green dissenters will dare to vote in favour of providing Ukraine with this critical military capability.
But our NATO allies and EU partners may wish to recall the intellectual-strategic level displayed by the Social Democrats in earlier parliamentary discussions about TAURUS. Mr Jörg Nürnberger (SPD), for example, gave a particularly impressive account in October, by saying:
"Imagine that we are on a children's playground. As is often the case, there is this one child who is never really satisfied. No matter how many toys he owns, he always strives for more and is jealous when he can't get his way and doesn't get what he would like to have extra. The CDU/CSU's ongoing demands for the delivery of TAURUS missiles remind me of the described behavior of a defiant child. For months, the CDU/CSU has been demanding more, more, more but the image of a miraculous weapon that alone can decide the war is wrong."
Reading such self-exposing statement is bitter and highly embarrassing. I know. But this is the intellectual standard we are dealing with in large quarters of the SPD.
What about others? As long as Green and Liberal MPs consider their potential gains in the upcoming EU Parliamentary elections and state elections in Germany's East in the fall an absolute (i.e. higher) political priority, we may see more rounds of parliamentary voting on TAURUS. But the results will likely be zero.
Democratic Senators in Swing States Mum on Schumer’s Call for Israelis To Depose Bibi
In the midst of political discussions surrounding Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Democratic senators in crucial swing states have chosen to remain tight-lipped. The recent call by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for Israelis to consider a change in leadership has sparked controversy, but these senators have yet to publicly express their opinions.
The 2024 White House race is anticipated to be a rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, with the outcome likely hinging on just six swing states. These states hold significant influence in determining the next president, making their senators’ silence on this matter noteworthy.
While some senators may be navigating a delicate balance between party loyalty and their constituents’ views, others may be waiting for further developments before taking a stance. Regardless, their reticence underscores the complexity of the situation and the high stakes involved.

Rishi Sunak faces mounting pressure to take action against Suella Braverman after her controversial article, defying Downing Street advice, accused the Metropolitan police of bias.
The Home Secretary's claims of "double standards" and accusations of police bias have stirred intense debates across party lines, leading to calls for her removal from five opposition parties. Sunak's handling of this situation could have far-reaching consequences.

11 Mar 07:00: Me: ‘Germany 🇩🇪 … an ongoing ‘basket case’ of political incompetence, incapable of leading at anything important, still following the selfish treason and naivity of Schröder 🥷🤮, Mutti 🕵🏿♀️🤮 and now 🤮🐈🐩😱 Scholz?

With thanks to Stefanie 🇩🇪 - the German senior NATO member who was ignored by all nations for correctly calling the putrid / Russian threat 10 years ago.

Leader Hakeem Jeffries: Do you care at all, friend?!!
PREDICTION: House Democrat Defeat
We never thought it'd come to this, friend.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has worked NONSTOP to make Joe Biden's agenda of progress the law of the land.
But he still needs our help – because winning progress requires taking back the House Majority.
But now, we're scared good Democrats just don't care, since NO ONE is chipping in at all.
Our 3OO%-MATCH to the Flip the House Blue expires at midnight, and we're $12,093 short – NO NO NO!!
REMEMBER, friend: Anything you give before midnight will have a 3OO% IMPACT on the most critical races for House control. Can you rush $5 (3OO%-MATCHED) right now to guarantee Democrats flip the House Blue? >>
Friend, we know we ask a lot of you.
It's only because House Democrats are INCHES from pulling off a remarkable comeback...
Inches from CRUSHING GOP extremism and SINKING Mike Johnson's speakership...
But ONLY with the resources to fight off the GOP's Dark Money attacks.
Attacks WILL get worse if we can't meet this goal.
Hakeem Jeffries is counting on us now more than ever, so we're begging you: Can you please rush $5 (and we'll TRIPLE it) immediately? >>
Thank you
