The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more.

That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.

It looks a lot more like preparation for war.

Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

🗞️“Palestinians may not want to live under the rule of Hamas, but the idea that they’ll be willing to move to live under Israeli occupation and be under control of the party they also see as responsible for killing 70,000 of their brethren is fantastical,” an Arab diplomat reportedly told Times of Israel. 

Jared Kushner and the U.S. have floated a “new Gaza” plan envisioning housing for 1 million Palestinians in new residential zones on the Israeli-controlled 58 percent of the Strip, east of the Yellow Line. Gulf donors are pushing back, calling it unrealistic.

Israel has killed or wounded at least 250,000 Palestinians—about 12 percent of Gaza’s population—since launching its genocidal campaign in 2023. ACLED, a conflict monitor backed by U.S. and European governments, reports 94 percent of those killed since March 2025 have been civilians.

Families rescued from blaze after fireworks thrown into Drogheda Ipas centre Almost 30 residents are homeless after the blaze.

If you rounded up every far right thug in the country, there would still be room left over in Mountjoy Jail. The question is, why do FF-FG not do so? They post their crimes online! This brings to something like 40 cases of arson against refugee centres. 99.3% of ppl don’t support these gurriers.

It's time King Charles III was stripped of his titles, and Britain at last became a republic - it's a sorry reflection on our neighbours that they've allowed this grotesque system to survive.

Govt should reconsider immigration policies, says Harris Tánaiste and Fine Gael leader Simon Harris has said Ireland's asylum seeker system is not working and that the Government should reconsider existing policies "in a very serious way".

During the presidential Fine Gael swung to the extreme right on Queer ppl. This time it’s the 100,000 Ukrainian refugees who are under attack. They are the vast majority of applicants. BTW Harris created the existing system!

Nazi-loving Daily Mail [that’s a factual statement BTW*] don’t like Ireland’s new president. Her repeating the words of the International Court of Justice & the UN Commission seem to have upset them. In the old days the Mail was the most anti-Semitic & fascist English newspaper! So little changes!
