Is questioning power hate or is it accountability?

Ana Kasparian puts it clearly: legitimate criticism isn't an attack; it's a duty. We no longer accept enforced silence or double standards.

When the facts are evident, selective outrage loses its power. This isn't about sides anymore; it's about universal principles and not allowing impunity to dictate our reality.

Do you agree with her, or do you have another perspective?

🚨 BREAKING: Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid has launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, claiming the emerging U.S.-Iran agreement has failed to achieve Israel's key war objectives.

Lapid argued that the Iranian government remains in power, its missile capabilities are still intact, and Tehran could eventually rebuild its nuclear program. He blamed Netanyahu's government for failing to secure stronger terms and said the proposed deal leaves major security concerns unresolved.

DB do not want to disturb the peace and the views of their hotel guests.

So they placed their emergency generators as far away as possible from their guests' rooms.

And nearer the Pembroke residents' homes.

They have been there for months.

At the end of the parking lot where a public garden was supposed to be built. Instead, there are concrete ramps and generators here.

The infinite greed and egoism continues.

P.S. note to Ray Bezzina: don't contact me, as you usually do, with your usual banal excuses.

Il-jum it-tajjeb.
“Hawn ħafna tallaba jiġru mat-toroq, aħna l-pulizija għandna regolamenti speċjali biex ma nħallux nies jittallbu u jieħdu lit-tfal żgħar tagħhom magħhom biex iqanqlu l-ħniena u xi ħadd jagħtihom xi ħaġa. It-tallaba jiġu mkeċċija minn ċerti postijiet, ċerti knejjes, mid-daħla prinċipali għal Belt u mit-taraġ li jieħu għal Port ta’ Marsamxett.”

Mistoqsi x’jista’ jagħmel pulizija biex jgħin lil wieħed tallab li m’għandux fejn jorqod u jkollu jorqod barra fit-triq, is-Supritendent Tancred Curmi kien wieġeb fl-1911:
“Ma jista’ jagħmel xejn. Bħalissa tant hawn tallaba jiġru mat-toroq li l-pulizija ma tistax tlaħħaq magħhom u ma tistax tinforza r-regolamenti. Tmenin fil-mija ta’ dawk li jittallbu huma bla xogħol u jgħidulek: “Ma nistax insib fejn naħdem. Nixtieq naħdem iżda ma nistax insib xogħol u għandi familja x’nitma!”

Ftit aħjar mit-tallaba

Il-pulizija stess ftit kienu aħjar mit-tallaba. L-ogħla paga fil-korp tal-pulizija kienet dik tas-supretendent: 500 lira fis-sena (€579.20 tal-lum). L-ispetturi kienu jaqilgħu 118-il lira fis-sena (€137). Surġent ta’ dak iż-żmien kien jaqla’ €62 fis-sena. Il-kuntistabbli kienu jaqilgħu €49 fis-sena.
Minħabba l-paga baxxa tagħhom, il-pulizija ta’ spiss kienu jieklu biss ħobż imxarrab fit-tè jew fil-kafè. Bħala lussu ġiegħli kielu ħobż bil-ġobon jew bix-xaħam.

Kienu jaħdmu għoxrin siegħa kuljum u kellhom bilfors jgħixu bil-paga biss għax minħabba li kienu kuntistabbli ma setgħux jiddejnu u ma setgħu jagħmlu l-ebda xogħol ieħor, anki kieku kellhom il-ħin, li ma kellhomx.

Minħabba l-kundizzjonijiet tagħhom ma setgħux jagħmlu xogħolhom tajjeb. Minkejja li kienu żgħażagħ, kienu magħlubin ħafna u debboli tant li bilkemm kienu jistgħu jżommu fuq saqajhom bil-wieqfa.

Bil-kemm għall-ħobż

Jgħidu li dak iż-żmien l-irġiel kuntistabbli miżżewġin kemm-il darba kienu jarawhom jiġbru biċċiet tal-ħobż niexef għal uliedhom, biċċiet tal-ħobż li jkunu ħallew fuq l-imwejjed sħabhom il-kuntistabbli mhux miżżewġin.
La l-pulizija stess kienu tant bil-ġuħ ma nistagħġbux li ma kienux ħaduha kontra dawk in-nies li fis-7 ta’ Ġunju 1919 ħarġu fit-toroq minħabba l-miżerja li kienu jgħixu fiha. Il-gvern Ingliż kellu jinqeda bit-truppi Ngliżi biex irażżan il-protesta tal-Maltin ta’ dak iż-żmien!

Fl-1918 iżjed min-nofs il-ħaddiema tal-Gvern kienu jaqilgħu 10s.6d (€2.72) fil-ġimgħa. Mill-inqas sebgħa xelini minnhom (€1.82) kienu jintefqu biex jinxtara’ l-ħobż.
Saħħa u sliem.

Transport Malta is reminding drone operators to ensure they are properly registered and familiar with local regulations before taking to the skies. The authority warned that failing to register a drone or submit required flight plans could result in fines of thousands of euros. As drone use continues to grow among hobbyists and content creators, officials are urging users to check permit requirements and airspace rules to avoid penalties and help maintain safe operations.

Għadni kif bgħatt email u għamilt rapport lill-awtoritajiet konċernati dwar il-kollass ta’ parti mill-Victoria Lines, sabiex tittieħed azzjoni kemm jista’ jkun malajr għat-tiswija u l-protezzjoni ta’ dan il-wirt storiku importanti.

Nixtieq nirringrazzja lil Conrad Neil Gatt għall-ħidma u l-impenn tiegħu favur il-ħarsien tal-wirt nazzjonali tagħna. Flimkien se nkomplu naħdmu biex insibu l-appoġġ meħtieġ sabiex nipproteġu dak il-ftit wirt storiku li fadlilna, kemm fuq livell nazzjonali kif ukoll ġewwa Swieqi.

Il-wirt tagħna mhux biss tifkira tal-passat, iżda responsabbiltà tagħna lejn il-futur.

One podcast conversation has sparked a debate reaching far beyond entertainment, with millions now discussing war, politics, and who ultimately pays the price.

Comedian Theo Von appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience in an episode that quickly spread across social media after he made strong comments about U.S. foreign policy, the Israel-Iran conflict, and the relationship between wealth, power, and war.

During the discussion, Von argued that ordinary people often bear the greatest burden of armed conflicts while political and economic elites remain insulated from the consequences. His remarks criticized government spending priorities and questioned the accountability of decision-makers involved in military actions.

Host Joe Rogan challenged some of the broader claims during the conversation, creating a back-and-forth that many viewers described as one of the episode's most compelling moments. Clips from the interview rapidly circulated online, generating discussion across multiple political communities.

One surprising aspect of the reaction is that the debate extended well beyond the podcast itself. Online users compared the conversation with views expressed by figures from across the political spectrum, including Bernie Sanders, Tucker Carlson, Irene Montero, and Ana Kasparian, showing how discussions about war and public spending increasingly transcend traditional ideological divides.

The episode has become part of a wider conversation about foreign policy, media influence, and the role of high-profile personalities in shaping public opinion. Supporters praised the willingness to question established narratives, while critics argued that complex international issues require greater nuance and factual context.

Behind every debate over foreign policy are real people whose lives are affected by conflict, economic decisions, and political choices. Conversations like these continue to shape how millions understand global events and the responsibilities of those in power.

🤔 Do you think influential podcast hosts and celebrities have a responsibility to shape political conversations carefully, or should they be free to challenge any issue without limits?
