Understanding these truths is central not only to the Catholic faith, but to all knowledge of reality because God is the transcendent cause of all being, the source of intelligibility, and truth itself.

Letters, Revisited

Netop som regeringen skulle granskes for sin hemmelighedsfulde håndtering af corona-krisen, har det nu vist sig, at alle de afgørende emails er blevet slettet hos Statens Serum Institut. Er det lidt for belejligt? Sådan lyder det fra Venstre, som nu angriber regeringen for magtfuldkommenhed. Samtidig har også Radikale Venstre meldt sig på krigsstien: Morten Østergaard beskylder regeringen for ”kreativ bogføring” på klimafronten, og han truer med at trække tæppet under Socialdemokratiet i efterårets finanslovsforhandlinger. Inden Folketingets åbning på tirsdag forsøger statsminister Mette Frederiksen dog at spille sit måske største trumfkort: Arne-løsningen er lige på trapperne, og Dansk Folkeparti - som ellers er i internt slagsmål – er klar til at lægge stemmer til tidligere tilbagetrækning. Hvad har Kristian Thulesen Dahl fået til gengæld? Thomas Qvortrup stiller spørgsmålene. Politisk kommentator Lars Trier Mogensen har svarene.

Har regeringen slettet alle corona-spor?

Disquiet Junto Project 0469: [Missing in Caption]. The Assignment: Make music that pushes the constraints of descriptive television captions.

In one scene of this old war movie, the man is saying goodbye to go to another well-founded, short and successful war, and his wife is deeply worried.

The bells call to battle, the wife struggles to find parting words, and even the worn-out VHS tape is deeply moved.
