A recent Dutch female opinion article argued: "Even if Harris loses the elections, the female surge can no longer be stopped". As a man, I disagree. In my view, the surge of American women has hit a glass ceiling - and very, very hard. Why did Kamala Harris lose so big?? She even lost the 2024 U.S. popular vote (eg, FT Exclusive), despite the fact that a majority of...
Today, the 2024 US presidential election will be held. My blog is not about its outcome, nor about my (current) prediction. My blog is about a topic I've used before: A Nation gets the Leader it deserves (eg, LinkedIn). Alternatively: “Every country has the government it deserves.” A phrase by the French philosopher Joseph de Maistre (1753-1821) Why do both phrases...
The Netherlands is considering following a German law: mandatory vaccination in child care facilities against common child diseases (eg, measles, DKTP). In my view, the right of the majority (ie, health) is more important than the (ideological) right of a minority (ie, freedom). Nevertheless, this entire vaccination issue is the result of government stupidity. Any...

It merely confuses me as I fail to understand it. In my view, gender ideology is a topic for the loud minority and irrelevant for the silent majority. Apparently, Pope Francis has a different...
Al wekenlang hoor ik de drammerige reclameboodschap van Milieudefensie tegen ING Bank. Ik had gehoopt dat ING een website zou starten voor de zwijgende meerderheid als reactie op deze luidruchtige minderheid (t.w. 16.001). Mijn wens was waarschijnlijk de vader van mijn gedachte (Ensie). De actie van Milieudefensie is het meest recente voorbeeld van een groeiende...
Afgelopen maandag heeft het Gerechtshof in Den Haag de eis van drie NGO’s (t.w. Oxfam Novib, PAX, The Rights Forum) toegewezen om de export van militaire onderdelen te stoppen (o.a. AD). Ik hoop en verwacht dat het Kabinet een cassatieberoep bij de Hoge Raad instelt. Het is principieel onjuist dat minderheden, via hun NGO’s, het Kabinetsbeleid bepalen. De...
