Far-left politicians discover God – and He’s a Communist

Sofie Marhaug and Mímir Kristjánsson have read the Bible and discovered the Red Party’s manifesto. They never found God. They found themselves.

State broadcaster NRK lets comedian who despises Norwegians lecture us on racism

In the fight against racism after Hårek Hansen’s comments on Pakistanis, NRK has platformed comedian Javad El Bakali, who called Hansen’s remarks outrageous and completely insane. Yet El Bakali has built his entire career on crude stereotyping and vilification of ethnic Norwegians, portraying them as racist, angry, alcoholic, ugly and low-status. For many Norwegians, this is the final straw. We will not put up with it any longer.

Norway’s failed Middle East engagement

Twelver Shia Islam is an apocalyptic end-times cult. It cannot be understood through Western concepts. This makes the regime completely unpredictable. If it acquires nuclear weapons, the consequences could be catastrophic. They would likely not hesitate to use them. It is a risk the rest of the world simply cannot afford to take.

Conservative Governing Mayor of Oslo celebrates Liberation Day with Friday prayers

On Liberation Day, Oslo’s Conservative governing mayor Eirik Lae Solberg attended Friday prayers at the Islamic Cultural Centre (ICC) — the same organisation celebrating that Solberg sold them land for a new mosque. Solberg has also hired former Labour politician Rashid Nawaz as an advisor, who has expressed sympathy for the Iranian regime. Meanwhile, ICC’s Ahmad Butt is set to speak at the grave of Norway’s constitution father on Constitution Day (17th May). The wind is clearly blowing in one direction.

British voters have spoken: Britain must come first

Britain is undergoing a seismic political shift. The old two-party system — with the Liberal Democrats as a mere appendage — is history. The clear winner is Reform UK, which has surged forward at the expense of both Labour and the Conservatives.
The reason is simple: The British have had enough of putting everyone else first. The propaganda no longer works. They can no longer be bothered to vote for the old parties just to prove they’re not racists. They are fed up.

When forgiveness is reserved only for the chosen few

Hårek Hansen belongs to a party whose leader, Sylvi Listhaug, holds Jesus as her ideal and openly bases its politics on the Christian worldview. Yet this same party offers no room for forgiveness. Meanwhile, its leader bows to criticism from politicians who believe in nothing — people with no ethical foundation for their so-called values. They have even taken forgiveness away from us.

Calculated evil

The anti-Trump camp likes to present itself as the very definition of decency. In reality, it represents calculated evil — a systematic attempt to overthrow a democratically elected president.
The fake news media are exactly what Trump says they are. But it takes time and effort to expose them in a country where all the media move in lockstep.

The fight against online hate: Are death threats against Trump fair game?

While Norway’s broadcaster NRK and Digitalisation Minister Karianne Tung are sounding the alarm about online hate in private comment sections like Espen Teigen’s, death threats against Donald Trump have been allowed to stand unchallenged in editorially controlled media. Read the letter and questions sent to NRK, tabloid VG, broadsheet Aftenposten and Karianne Tung.

Iranian-born lecturer returns top teaching award in protest after colleague called Oct 7 massacre “Beautiful”

Senior Lecturer Alireza Ashrafian at NTNU has renounced his status as a meritorious teacher in protest against what he sees as the university’s failure to condemn Professor Bassam Hussein’s description of the October 7 massacre as “beautiful”. Ashrafian is originally from Iran. In November 2024, he was one of twelve academics awarded the status of meritorious teacher at NTNU. He is now relinquishing this honour.

“But the guy is still alive” – NRK’s flippant reaction to Trump assassination attempts

After the third assassination attempt on Trump, NRK’s team wandered Washington D.C. spreading conspiracy theories, while their USA correspondent quipped: “But the guy is still alive?” Hours before the shooting, major Norwegian papers claimed Butler was staged. Sixty percent of VG’s readers suspect something is off, and the papers host death threats against Trump on Facebook. Legacy media’s hate, lies and half-truths know no bounds.
