Next Starmer Trump meeting.

Starmer: They’re making me resign because I hired someone named in the Epstein files.

Trump: I’ve been named in the Epstein files thousands of times.

No. Just making the point it’s not smart to go where he wants them to go.

Was the Obama video racist?

The truth is nobody outside Bluesky cares that much. Dems should know by now this isn’t the ground to be battling Trump on, especially now. They shouldn’t walk straight into the trap again.

A lot of comments about the significance of Republicans having officially lost the wrestling demographic.

In truth, that wrestling demographic is far from what it used to be.

Media has decided that public spending is too high.

Reality is there has been no increase in public spending as a share of the real economy in 10 years.

So even when you strip out multinationals, there has been no increase

And we spend the lowest amount in western Europe as a share of our economy

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

Martin cites organisation accused of academic failures Its vice president recently had to cancel a trip to South Africa for fear of being arrested for war crimes.

Claiming antisemitism is a serious problem in Ireland, Martin and Harris cited an organisation accused of major factual distortions – and whose vice president, an ex-IDF general, had to cancel a trip to South Africa for fear of a war crimes arrest.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I understand there will be add ons of some sort but yes, there would need to a good sell on clause.

Sligo Rovers’ Owen Elding apparently on his way to Hibs for just €400,000. So frustrating that LOI clubs aren’t in a position to hold out for fair transfer fees.

Shocked today at the response by some in the media at what was unquestionably the most egregious state execution in the states I’ve possibly ever seen. There is no both sidesing it, no justifying it. And the response from the US government is chillingly authoritarian.

I’m sure this won’t be controversial at all from WWE. Hyping the appearances of two Irish performers who will have “home field advantage” whilst a union flag is emblazoned across the graphics.

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸
