I visited a really impressive farm-to-table restaurant in Puglia awhile back. Everything they served—from the bread and pasta to the cheese and olive oil—was produced and prepared on the grounds, which couldn’t have been more than 15 acres. The one exception was the meat, which
The EU is spending this week pushing even more "sustainability" mandates, an unelected cartel dictating how EVERY factory, farm and small business must operate. This is NOT climate policy. It's a hostile regulatory takeover of Europe's economy and a power grab from national

Henry Baerlein (British writer, 1920s) “The Albanians are a perpetual riddle — half hero, half brigand.” Italian Diplomatic Note (1914) “These people are impossible to control. They obey no authority but their clan.” Bishop Fan Noli reported this quote (early 1900s)

A Romanian girl singing “Albulena” with more soul than many who were born Albanian. She says Albania and Kosovo have a special place in her heart, and you can feel it. Respect to her for honoring our history, our pain, and our love for freedom.🇦🇱🇷🇴

For this November 28, I would like to commemorate the Albanians in Nish whose expulsion in the winter of 1877-1878, together with other dangers threatening the nation, galvanized the National Movement into taking a decisive step towards the first attempt at independence.

🚨 THE SNEAKER MARKET JUST COLLAPSED - AND NOBODY KNOWS WHY A sneaker shop owner says the entire market “died overnight.” And the numbers are insane: • Shoes that were $500–$600 now won’t move at $300 • Jordan 1s sitting for $90 • Dunks and GRs gathering dust • Even HEAT

Last weekend Albania’s rugby team beat Greece 57–0 at the “House of Football,” in a friendly approved by World Rugby. This win comes after an 88–0 victory over Kosovo in Istog, marking two straight wins and showing the sport’s fast growth in Albania.

Denmark brought in Somalis as war refugees, not as pre-screened economic migrants. Comparing a community that arrived with trauma, no networks, and no resources to native Danes is not “data” it’s propaganda. • 98%+ of Somali youth are NOT convicted of violent crime • Crime
I'm not "afraid of Somali success". I am sad that Somali immigrants are so extremely unsuccessful here in Denmark, that they are a net expense for taxpayers of $24,000 on average per Somali immigrant per year. Worse than any other immigrant group! They are also extremely

Prosecutor Jack Smith claimed Hashim Thaçi was undisputed military leader of an army that had an unambiguous, clear chain of command and organization. It was a reckless case that should have never reached this stage. Anything but full acquittal is obscene miscarriage of justice.
The last major war crimes trial of the Balkans is nearing its end. The closing arguments in the case against former guerrilla leader (and later president of independent Kosova) Hashim Thaci are scheduled for February 9-13, 2026. Whatever the verdict, it will also concern NATO

There's something I don't understand: if it was okay for Algeria to kick out a million Frenchmen why is it wrong for France to kick out a million Algerians? Why is everyone allowed to engage in population transfer except the people of Western civilization?

That's not the worst part. Many newer hotels are built or refitted so that the windows don’t open at all, or if they do, it’s only a tiny crack, not actual ventilation. So after a long flight and an hour of taxis, subways, and recycled cabin air, you finally reach your room,
Hotel toilet privacy is disappearing. ❌Glass door. ❌No door. ❌Big window into the room.. Even in rooms with twin beds... Who is asking for this?
