In normal times, the Dutch general elections would not make headline news around the world. But we are not in normal times.

A socialist response to the Christchurch terrorist attack
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Arden called it one of New Zealand's darkest days. As Muslim worshippers gathered at the Al Noor Mosque and the Linwood Islamic Centre in Christchurch, New Zealand, for their Friday afternoon prayers on March 15th, 2019, an Australian white supramacist walked in and gunned down 50 worshippers as he live-streamed it on Facebook.
