Carlos Padrão, a friend of Jorge Jesus, revealed that Tiago Craveiro threatened the coach's entourage, saying that Jesus must publicly apologize or face consequences, amid rising tensions in the National Team following criticisms from Piers Morgan. #SeleçãoNacional #JorgeJesus #CristianoRonaldo (translated)

Cristiano Ronaldo claimed that the Portuguese coach had proposed a plan for him to participate in international matches, which he accepted. According to him, the plan stipulated that he would play in the first and last match and would not go to Norway or Denmark. However, he had agreed to play 30 minutes in Norway at the coach's request. Ronaldo then reproached the coach for breaking his word. He said they had agreed that the coach would acknowledge in a press conference that he had proposed the plan, that Ronaldo had never asked to play, and that it was wrong of him to make him warm up without putting him in the game. Simão Coutinho, a manager at Al Nassr, had witnessed their exchanges, he specified. Ronaldo felt that the tone of the coach during the press conference was different from that of their private conversation. The Portuguese captain acknowledged that he had been wrong not to greet the supporters after the match and for leaving the gathering. He apologized to them, as well as to his teammates, while explaining that the breach of trust had led him to leave. He also stated that he accepted the Federation's sanction and indicated that he would remain available for the national team after his suspension, provided he was fit and playing for his club. #CristianoRonaldo #ÉquipeNationale #Football (translated)

The Galácticos published Cristiano Ronaldo's account regarding the dispute with the Portugal national team coach. The player claimed that after the 2026 World Cup, the federation president asked him not to leave the national team, and he himself supported the choice of the current coach. According to Ronaldo, the coach presented him with a game plan that involved participation in the first and fourth matches of the training camp. The player wrote that he agreed to play 30 minutes in the match against Norway, although he had not planned to play earlier, but after warming up, he did not go onto the field. He also claimed that the coach promised to clarify the situation at a press conference, but did not do so. Ronaldo stated that Simão Coutinho and Tiago Craveiro were also involved in the discussions. The player admitted that after the match he did not approach the fans, and later left the training camp. He apologized to Portuguese fans and his teammates, took responsibility for his decisions, and emphasized that the federation should assess their consequences. He added that after serving any potential punishment, he would be ready to return to the national team, provided he was in good form and was regularly playing for his club. He also announced that in the future he would play one or more farewell matches. #CristianoRonaldo #Reprezentacja #PiłkaNożna (translated)

Cristiano Ronaldo stated, in a statement published on October 6, 2026, that he decided to leave the Portuguese national team camp after the coach, according to him, did not uphold an agreement regarding his participation in a match in Norway. He said he agreed to play for 30 minutes, went to warm up at halftime, but never got to enter. He also apologized for not greeting the fans after the match. Ronaldo recounted that, after the 2026 World Cup, he prepared a farewell letter and that the president of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) asked him to consider continuing. He said he supported the choice of the current coach, and that the coach proposed he play the first and last game, with rotations, and not travel to Norway and Denmark. Ronaldo stated that he refused to stay in Portugal and that the coach agreed. According to the player, the coach initially maintained the plan agreed upon in a conversation at his house, along with Simão Coutinho, the sports director of Al Nassr. Ronaldo said that he agreed to be substituted in a game in Alvalade without protesting and passed the captain's armband to Bruno Fernandes. Regarding the match in Norway, he said he expected to play again only at the Dragão but accepted the offer to come in for 30 minutes. Ronaldo said that, 48 hours later, he arranged with the coach for him to explain at a press conference that the plan had been his initiative and that he had made a mistake by having him warm up without using him. He added that, at the coach's request, a document was prepared with Simão Coutinho and Tiago Craveiro, validated by him and submitted to the coach. According to Ronaldo, the notes acknowledged that he accepted the plan and was loyal and professional but did not include an apology. The player stated that this was the second time the coach had failed to keep his word and that he decided to leave the camp because he felt trust was broken. He said that, on the morning of the conference, the president of the FPF and the coach assured him that his place on the team was still secure. Ronaldo took full responsibility for leaving the camp, apologized to his teammates and the Portuguese fans, and declared that the FPF should evaluate and punish the act, without mitigation, also considering his role as captain. Ronaldo added that there could be one or more farewell matches, but he associated the national team with competition. He said that after serving any suspension that might be imposed on him, he would be available to play and fight for victories if he was physically well and playing for the club. He also recalled that he stayed in a camp after learning of his father's death, until finishing the next game. #CristianoRonaldo #SeleçãoPortuguesa #Futebol (translated)

B24 published a statement in which Cristiano Ronaldo presented his version of the misunderstanding with the national coach and his exit from the training camp. The forward stated that, after the 2026 World Cup, he had prepared a farewell letter, but the president of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) had asked him to reconsider his departure. He also mentioned that he had supported the choice of the current coach. Ronaldo stated that the coach had presented him with a plan for his participation in the national team and that, in an initial conversation, he had suggested that he not travel for the matches in Norway and Denmark. According to the player, he rejected the proposal as he believed it would not be a good example for the captain to stay in Portugal. He noted that Simão Coutinho, sports director of Al Nassr, had accompanied the discussions. Regarding the match in Norway, Ronaldo reported that the coach asked him if he was available to play for 30 minutes. He said he accepted, despite recovering physically, but warmed up from halftime and did not end up playing. The player stated that, in a meeting 48 hours later, the coach agreed to publicly explain the agreed plan and acknowledged that it was a mistake to make him warm up without putting him on the field. According to Ronaldo, the coach had promised to do so at a press conference but had not fulfilled the agreement. The forward said he had validated notes for the conference, in which the coach would acknowledge proposing the plan, affirm that Ronaldo had accepted it without questioning the options, and admit that he would not make him warm up again under those circumstances. Ronaldo stated that the coach should also recognize the importance of the player, who had represented the national team for 24 years, and argue that problems should not be invented around his reaction after the game. Ronaldo said he decided to leave the training camp because he felt the coach had broken his word for the second time. He apologized to the fans for not greeting them after the game and to his teammates for leaving, taking responsibility for both decisions. He added that he accepted being punished by the FPF without mitigating circumstances, as he was the captain. The player stated that he would continue to be available to compete for Portugal after serving the suspension, as long as he was physically well and playing for the club. He also said that he hoped to have one or more farewell matches, but that his priority was to continue competing and winning for the national team. #CristianoRonaldo #SeleçãoNacional #Futebol (translated)

The sports cabin wrote that a friend of Jorge Jesus accused Tiago Craveiro, an employee of a company owned by Cristiano Ronaldo and former director of the FPF, of threatening to dismiss Jesus if the national coach did not start the press conference with an apology to the footballer, following a script. #JorgeJesus #CristianoRonaldo #Futebol (translated)

Carlos Padrão, presented by the Sports Cabin as a friend of Jorge Jesus, accused members of Cristiano Ronaldo's staff of having contributed to the worsening of situations. He asked investigative journalists to find out who was involved and pointed to Tiago Craveiro. The publication identified Craveiro as the former right-hand man of Fernando Gomes at the FPF and the current strategic consultant for CR7 SA, Cristiano Ronaldo's holding company based in Lisbon. According to the Sports Cabin, the company manages the footballer's stakes in various businesses, including Expressão Livre, which owns CMTV, NOW, Correio da Manhã, and Jornal Record. #CristianoRonaldo #JorgeJesus #investigação (translated)

Why the world is run in an insane way. The notion that power is inherently good while liberalism is bad is utterly perverse. Narcissists, megalomaniacs, windbags, pathological liars, adventurers, and individuals with criminal tendencies all crave tyranny, oligarchic fascism, and one-man dictatorships. They harbour but a single dream: absolute, unassailable power and boundless privilege. Any consolidation of power—regardless of how it is marketed—inevitably leads to economic contraction, a halt in development, and a deterioration in the quality of life for the majority. Worse still, it intensifies military confrontation and fosters a readiness to engage in protracted conflicts. A state of peace—hitherto a paramount priority—gives way to a state of war, claiming victims from all walks of life. The rigid, linear mindset and behavior characteristic of those in power are manifestations of stupidity. Life is inherently contradictory; it thrives on equilibrium and balance and does not submit to commands—save for in appearance or through folly. This severely limits the efficacy of resolving problems via coercion, which rapidly devolves into entropy and systemic collapse. Within the corridors of power, rational individuals are sidelined; perceived as indecisive and wavering—aware as they are of life’s inherent contradictions and the fact that problems are often intractable or insoluble—they lack the appeal that breeds popularity. Instead, the spotlight falls on narcissists, megalomaniacs, arrogant windbags, pathological liars, and figures from the criminal underworld—individuals who transform the exercise of power into a mafia-like enterprise. They always display determination and convey the impression that problems are easily solvable—and that they possess both the knowledge and the ability to resolve them; this is precisely what appeals most to people and generates popularity. Yet, such public popularity is highly deceptive. It is profoundly artificial, hypocritical, and detached—a theatrical role-play designed to maintain the image and ratings of a public star, manifesting nothing but boundless narcissism. There is no intelligence in this, only madness. These are madmen who believe they can do whatever they please. The character of all such politicians—who have lost all sense of proportion—bears a resemblance to that of Hitler. Защо светът се управлява по безумен начин. Идеята, че властта е нещо добро, а либералзма е нещо лошо е напълно извратена. Всички нарцисисти, грандомани, празнодумци, патологични лъжци, авантюристи, хора с криминални наклонности искат, тирания, олигархичен фашизъм, еднолична диктатура. Те имат само една мечта абсолютна несменяема власт и безгранични превилегии. Всяко усилване на властта, независимо как се представя ще води до свиване на икономиката и прекратяване на нейното развитие и до влошаване на живота на мнозинството от хората.Нещо по-лошо то ще усили военното противопоставяне и лесното прибягване до конфликти, които ще бъдат продължителни. Мирното време, което досега беше висш приоритет ще се замени с военно време, на което всички ще станат жертви.Праволинейното мислене и поведение, свойствено на властта, е проява на глупост. Животът е дълбоко противоречив. Той съществува чрез равновесие и баланс и не се подчинява на заповеди, освен привидно и по глупост. Това определя крайно ограничените възможности проблемите да се решават с принуждение. То бързо се превръща в ентропия, разрушаване на системата.В властта разумните хора се пренебрегват, защото те са нерешителни и колебаещи се, знаещи, че животът е дълбоко противоречив и проблемите се решават трудно или са въобще неразрешими и това не се харесва и не създава популярност . Издигат се нарцисисти, грандомани, самонадеяни празнодумци, патологични лъжци, хора от криминалния свят, които превръщат властта в мафия. Те винаги показват решителност, внушават че проблемите са лесно разрешими и те знаят и могат да ги разрешат и точно това най-много се харесва и създава популарност. Публичната популярност обаче е много измамна. Тя е дълбоко фалшива, лицемерна, отчуждена, игра на роля като в театъра, с която се поддържа имидж и рейтинг на публична звезда, изразяваща безгранична самовлюбенест и нищо повече. В това няма никаква интелигентност, а само безумие. Това са безумци, които си мислят, че всичко им е позволено. Характерът на всички самозабравили се политици е подобен на характера на Хитлер.

Je viens de regarder le 3e épisode sur la reconstruction du CH sur Crave. Jeff Gorton en mène vraiment large dans l'équipe. Quand le CH commençait à glisser un peu avant Noël, il n'a vraiment pas aimé la réaction des fans au Centre Bell après la dégelée de 6-1 contre le Lightning le 9 décembre. Tout de suite après le match, il annonce à Martin St-Louis qu'il a procédé au rappel de Fowler ainsi que Beck et Engstrom afin d'essayer de secouer son équipe. La direction est très sensible à la réaction des fans et c'est une bonne nouvelle pour moi. Il a carrément dit à MSL que la réaction des fans était inacceptable et qu'il ne faut pas que ça se reproduise. Ce n'est pas un country club. Tout le monde s'entend bien, mais les affaires sont les affaires. #Rebuild #Crave #CH #Hockey #Fans

Aqui segue minha colinha: 14 ou 30 - Renan ou Zema (Presidente) 10 - Tarcísio (Governador SP) 232 - Soninha Francine (Senado 1) 144 - Guto Schiavetto (Senado 2) 3012 - Dr. Gearhedad (Deputado Federal) 20800 - Madeleine Lackso (Deputado Estadual SP) Explico um por um: Madeleine Lacko, jornalista há 30 anos, mulher séria, combativa e que já teve sua vida devastada por politicos pilantras, seu filho perseguido e ameaçado e NUNCA cedeu às pressões. Usou toda sua habilidade pra identificar os criminosos e brigou na justiça. É defensora da liberdade de expressão e estava comigo na lista da AGU a ser censurada no Twitter. Não tenho a menor dúvida de que se eleita vai brigar pelo que é certo. Dr. Gearhead é um advogado especialista em direito automotivo, pessoa correta, do bem e com propostas muito interessantes pra quem gosta de carros, especialmente carros customizados. Mas também briga por interesses relacionados a trânsito, mobilidade e tudo que tange veículos que são de interesse geral da população. Soninha Francine é uma mulher, na minha visão, de centro-esquerda, com muitas pautas e ideias que eu concordo e algumas que eu não concordo. E pq eu votaria em alguém que não concordo? Pq ela é aberta ao diálogo, sabe ouvir, sabe debater de forma adulta e coerente, e é isso que faz tanta falta na política hoje. Os políticos precisam voltar a debater ideias e NEGOCIAR com seus opositores, e isto implica sim em ceder eventualmente para conseguir algo do interesse do seu eleitor. A democracia funciona não mandando acabar com quem pensa diferente, mas dialogando com quem pensa diferente. Guto Schiavetto eu conheço pouco, confesso, mas acredito em muitas das ideias do partido dele, do pouco que o conheci senti firmeza e sinceridade, e creio que seria muito interessante ter no Senado alguém com ideias e propostas ousadas e principalmente fora da base Lula / Bolsonaro. Tarcísio entendeu como funciona o governo de São Paulo, como foi por décadas com o PSDB e que funcionou bem até agora: não mexe no que funciona. Teve avanços importantes no seu governo, recuou onde precisava recuar e é indiscutivelmente inteligente e um excelente gestor. A babação de ovo do Bolsonaro é retórica de campanha, fez pra ser eleito e pra tentar ser o indicado a presidência. É da política. Não cravei Renan nem Zema pq ainda estou pensando. Renan tem muitos posicionamentos que concordo e tem uma estratégia agressiva e polêmica pra ganhar visibilidade, e eu já defendi esta estratégia no passado DESDE QUE sendo eleito, tivesse uma postura moderada. O principal problema é que se eleito poderia ter um governo travado sem nenhum apoio no Congresso, seria massacrado pelo sistema. É um risco. Já o Zema com o partido NOVO tem chances bem mais concretas de fazer articulações e alianças para suas propostas andarem, mas tá sem energia, tá defendendo as pautas erradas e sua estratégia de campanha tá fraca. Nenhum dos candidatos que coloquei na lista eu concordo 100% com todas as ideias e posições, mas concordo o suficiente pra me representar. Primeiro turno serve pra votar em quem você QUER e segundo turno pode ser usado pra votar contra quem você NÃO QUER. E aí cada um que use seus critérios. Antecipar segundo turno é estratégia de político pilantra que quer ganhar a eleição no medo e na manipulação, fingindo de combativo mas com medo de ir a debates. São fracos de propostas geralmente incompetentes, só sobrevivem na política enquanto o opositor existir. Vote em quem vc acredita que esteja mais próximo do seu ideal. Nenhum candidato é perfeito, e se vc acha o seu candidato perfeito vc é só um idiota útil. #Eleição2024 #Política #Brasil

The Left Didn’t Replace Religion… It Became One Many leaders in the West may reject God, but they often believe with near-religious fervor in something else. The progressive worldview mirrors religion: people still crave meaning, so it gets redirected. Science is treated like scripture interpreted by an expert priesthood; capitalism becomes the fallen world; revolution is purification; climate change is apocalypse with repentance; gender identity is the soul, the “true self” trapped in a betraying body. Without metaphysics, evil must be placed in the material world. For many on the left, Hitler functions as a secular Satan, so anything tied to him can be treated as morally contaminated—nationalism, borders, ethnic identity, masculinity, Europeans, industry, and Western traditions. Jung’s “shadow” is projected onto an enemy, letting adherents feel morally pure while avoiding the harder work of facing their own capacity for evil. Where Christianity locates sin inside every heart (“original sin”), the secular version relocates the flaw into the world—into whiteness, the West, nationalism, borders, or any chosen symbol. This framework makes moral judgment easy and singular: if Hitler is evil, then opponents become “fascists,” “Nazis,” or “Hitler.” Disagreement turns from political to moral and existential. This isn’t a claim that progressives can’t see evil elsewhere—it’s that this framework has become an instinctive moral compass. The ruling class isn’t truly secular: it has its own faith, and increasingly expects you to live by it.

The Pinnacle of Tyranny The pinnacle of tyranny would allow politicians, elites, and bureaucrats to control a population without force or coercion—because the people love their servitude. Aldous Huxley’s *Brave New World* explores this idea through an eerily relatable dystopian society. Unlike Orwell’s *1984*, Huxley’s world contains no obvious oppression. The state does not need to “stamp on a human face—forever.” Instead, citizens willingly chain themselves to pleasure and distraction. Authorities do not rule through terror, but by giving people everything they think they want. Soma, a government-approved drug, becomes the opiate of the masses. Mustafa Mond, the World Controller, compares it to Christianity without the suffering. By swallowing a few tablets, citizens can escape reality—a temporary holiday from the facts. Lenina cannot understand why Bernard refuses Soma, preferring discomfort to something that can remove it. When Bernard says, “I’d rather be myself, myself and nasty, not somebody else, however jolly,” Lenina views his desire for authenticity as a kind of illness. Bernard wants to experience passion and recognizes that life involves more than contentment. He craves genuine experience, including suffering and intensity, rather than emotional regulation by the World State. Lenina’s confusion results from her conditioning, which teaches her to view unhappiness as a technical problem. This belief is captured by the saying, “A gram is better than a dam.” The citizens of *Brave New World* are not captives but satisfied customers. Children are produced by the state, relieving people of the responsibilities of parenthood. Their free time is filled with promiscuity, cheap entertainment, and endless sporting events—what might be called “slop” today. As Neil Postman observed, Orwell saw totalitarianism through fear, while Huxley imagined a society where oppression would be unnecessary because people would willingly surrender themselves to pleasure. There would be no need to ban books, because no one would want to read them. An abundance of low-quality information would make censorship unnecessary; the truth would be drowned out by noise. Huxley warned that people’s “almost infinite appetite for distractions” could make tyranny not only possible, but welcome.

Há alguns meses falei isso aqui e me chamaram de maluco. Quem dita juros é QUEM EMPRESTA O DINHEIRO. Quem empresta o dinheiro aceitará MENOS com um Governo responsável. Flávio Bolsonaro eleito SELIC < 10% em menos de 2 anos de Governo. Ps: eu cravei que iria pra 15% 👍 https://t.co/0XWef8Kljj #economia #juros #governo

As Ukraine builds strategic momentum, the Kremlin’s insecurity is sharpening. This is exactly when pressure bites hardest, and when Russia’s isolation must deepen, not ease. Any pause now would give Moscow what it craves: space to regroup and recalibrate. Ukraine’s partners #Ukraine #Kremlin #RussiaIsolation #UA #RU

Desde o início eu cravei a informação que o negócio NÃO estava fechado, mas sempre respeitando a apuração de colegas. Debocharam, xingaram… e eu segui meu trabalho, mesmo remando sozinho contra a maré. Ainda bem que eu ouvi minha mãe: “Rogério, você não é todo mundo”… 😂 #Persistência #Respeito #TrabalhoDuro

Após vídeo do Zema eu cravei aqui: ele estava enterrando sua carreira política. Agora digo o mesmo sobre Michelle. Povo não é bobo. O que ela fez foi traição ao próprio marido em nome de um projeto pessoal de poder. Difícil até que se eleja pelo DF. #Política #Eleições #Brasil
