For months supposedly objective journalists insisted to us that El-Sayed was failing catastrophically among Jewish and Black voters. Then polling showed these claims were completely baseless. Indeed Siena said it literally couldn't find a single Black voter who was not voting for El-Sayed.

Actu Foot reported that Jonathan Clauss mentioned his infidelities and the lies that had weakened his relationship in the L’Équipe documentary "Football and Sex: Impossible Love?". The footballer said he had not been satisfied with what he had, had engaged in multiple relationships, and had wanted to both go out, enjoy life, and be in a relationship. He also recounted that a woman he often had relationships with contacted his girlfriend at the time via FaceTime after a night out to inform her that he was talking to another woman. Pauline then asked him for explanations. Regarding his current relationship with Pauline, whom he had married for over a year, Clauss said that their couple had endured because she had stayed. He expressed gratitude for the decisions she had made for them, while acknowledging that not everything was healed for her yet. #Infidélité #Relation #Documentaire (translated)

"The main reason is the failure of the state to look the mobilisation question in the eye, speak openly with society, and reform the process from start to finish. The vacuum left is what the military is filled ad-hoc with so-called "bussification" and holding points like this." https://x.com/francisjfarrell/status/2117415987251380273/photo/1

The author wrote that migration from the EU as well as from countries in the Middle East and Africa, which he termed failed and Islamic, is related to what he considers to be a poorly designed welfare state. Incorrect incentives are the cause; the migration rules then opened the door. #Migration #Sozialstaat #Integration #EU #DZ #IL #AF (translated)

This applies to both migration within the EU and immigration from countries in the Middle East and Africa, which he referred to as failed Islamic states. He cited incorrect incentives as the cause; the migration rules subsequently opened the door. #Migration #Sozialstaat #Integration #EU #AE #NG #KE #DZ #MA #LY #TN (translated)
