Another schoolyard brawl with potentially lethal consequences and Biden giving Israel the green light to do what it likes shows just how clueless his administration is. Just how many fronts does the US think that it can 'fight' on? The Chinese fascist regime likely to try something against Taiwan an...

This one is particular stomach churning as it features "Mr.Woke" from Newstalk.

It is a 5th column of monumental proportions but shure aren't they all Irish now after getting their piece of paper from the Minister at the farcical citizenship ceremonies. https://www.irishimmigration.ie/how-to-become-a-citizen/citizenship-ceremonies/ :roll: :roll: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

The really, really annoying rolling (?) background music (?) that Newstalk have behind their short news bulletins. Just WHY!!!!! First World problem I know but..

According to Jennifer Carroll MacNeill FG (new Minister for European Affairs) on Newstalk Breakfast - we need lots more immigrants because there's a shortage of panel beaters in Ireland....just another detached FG uber woke - why am I even surprised.

One of the worst editions of the programme in years this morning with self indulgent crap celebrating the woeful Arts Council. Incidentally, I notice that two of the elite 7 member, Chairman-less, Council have only lived in the country since 2005 and 2011 respectively. There's diversity and inclusio...

The only 'plan' seems to be to let more and more of these immigrants into the country and no politician with the balls to stand up and say enough is enough and Ireland is full.

Not as bad as people who refer to the railway station as the train station...............

Humza Yousaf is a classic example of a 5th columnist with which Britain is now riddled and we are heading down that road fast. One of our finest examples: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebun_Joseph who will probably end up as President one day - purely on merit - of course!

The number of scam emails seems to have slightly reduced recently - at least for me - but the tried and presumably successful old ones keep coming. At this stage anybody dopey enough to fall for these deserves what they get. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivfnv29_HkCMbdge...

https://wexfordlocal.com/page/4/ March 15th 2024 Seven males hidden in trailer at Rosslare Europort By Dan Walsh Six men and one male juvenile discovered hidden in a truck trailer at Rosslare Europort around 6am this morning (Friday) was detained by Gardaí for alleged immigration offences. They rece...

Without bothering to follow this story very much there are parallels here with the Republicans in NI always supporting the Palestinians while the Loyalists always support Israel. Back in the days of Apartheid, the South African government were very close to Israel - security cooperation even nuclear...

I tried to watch "The Irish Connection" (2022) on Amazon Prime but only lasted 20 minutes. A poorly directed mess with no plot, dire dialogue and worse acting. Stolen bearer bonds, gangsters and spies sounds like it might be interesting but it isn't. Do yourselves a favour and avoid. I gav...

It's been a worrying couple of weeks for those of us who follow the Ospreys with no sign of the male bird LM12 as he normally arrives a week before the female. She's been on site since the 8th March with no sign of hubby. However, normal service has resumed with the male appearing at 4.30pm this eve...

So under the government's wonderful new plans to move away from filling the pockets of hoteliers for 'generously' taking in asylum seekers, they now intend to fill the pockets of property developers and speculators to provide purpose-built State accommodation for the ever increasing tide of immigran...

Jaysus, who would that buy that sort of stuff? I can, hand on heart, say that I have not intentionally watched the Eurovision since the 1970s and my last memory of it was seeing the "Riverdance" act at the interval in 1994 - and only because it happened to be on down the pub. Dana and Abba...

And finally some wind-down music before bed - from the late, great Ennio Morricone.

More fab drumming from Sina.

I don't think Ukraine has the mentality to do this. Whatever about inflicting multiple casualties on the battlefield, I doubt the idea of attacking civilians in such a barbarous manner would be to the forefront in Ukrainian minds. Doesn't have the footprint of ISIS either, those guys don't normally...

Russia has made plenty of enemies since the collapse of the USSR and any number of groups could have carried out the attack including Putin's own security services. The least likely group to have carried out the attack are the Ukrainians as it only gives Putin an excuse to crack down on them even ha...

Couple of more here. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-g58Ei8BQkOA-tyI3uR000Usq9SGEgpGHMbmrmdh2CSPRnwFtx5LzhHEXrs3exvwKtbMNv6PS9z-KzW13ke5S8JVtvIcDhWQRfHBmboSiFcKPckywkximakcGg_lVTg0hSfh7t6EGoD9CYhVHaBGg5XVrIssuPed5iCKA4ZAqIbjcER_Al1LiFtn70Yk/s800/RECORD%20FAIRS.jpg https:...

Here's another forum that has lasted well and continues to be quite busy https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/ Even here there can be some 'derailing' of discussions.
