Anyone in my home🇺🇸 country - do not send one red cent to Sinn Fein traitors. Not one.

I see Antrim and Newtownabbey in Northern Ireland has been listed as confirmed. A study from UCD 3 years ago found ‘gangs’ of predatory men were targetting girls in care homes in Ireland. We’re still in cover-up mode in Ireland. independent.ie/irish-news/ga…

"I saw a fella with a knife trying to cut little kids, so I gave him a dig in the jaw." "He had to be put down, I hit him a few kicks to make sure he did not get back up." Warren Donohoe jumped into action when an Algerian migrant started stabbing kids outside a creche in Dublin. This man deserves a lot more than €16k in three years, as far as I'm concerned he's a hero. Everyone should know the name Warren Donohoe, share far and wide, let's show him our support. gofundme.com/f/buy-warren-do…

I'm so tired of these over privileged idiots. She lives in Foxrock, one of the most homogeneous and affluent societies in Ireland. The closest thing to a migrant she sees is her doctor neighbour or the barrister who serves her vegan soy latte. She is exhausting, and was behind the court case the IHREC brought to the Highcourt whereupon they used tax payers money to argue the case that illegal male asylum seekers in tents are having their rights upended and should be paid compensation and be accommodated. That case saw to it that Irish people were pushed beneath male asylum seekers and all asylum seekers when it comes to a right to be accommodated. I don't see @sineadgibney having a shit fit over Road Bouchaker's clearly racist utterings before he stabbed three 5 year olds and a creche worker. "Shit Irish. Shit fucking Irish". We are an ethnicity in our own right.

I'm taking my time going back through Being and Time. The part that has really stood out this time and with the Irish context in mind is his ideas relating to "idle talk", "curiosity" and "ambiguity" and how they reinforce one another to distract us from focusing on pursuing meaningful experiences. His idea of Verfallen is the culmination of these three factors which keep us essentially and obliviously trapped in the mundane averageness of the everyday. The obvious examples of this is social media. Scrolling through idle talk on our timelines we are allowed to feel like experts on Palestine, US healthcare, historic Northern Irish sectarianism. Our curiosity flits from one to the other and we get just enough feedback to feel like we're "in the know", tuned in and able to contribute something to the noise. But for Heidegger these are powerful distractions from focusing on the (limited by our own lifespan as temporal beings) few authentic and fulfilling possibilities open to us. I am still in the middle of it - just getting into the section on Verfallen and Thrownness but there is a hint of the Biblical original sin about Verfallen which I think is a very useful means of looking at the underlying malaise in Irish society without resorting to a reactive - we need to go back to religion answer while not excluding it either.

THE LINE: "HE WENT UP AND DOWN THE LINE, PULLING OUT THE CHILDREN" Speaking of lines, my own was drawn in the sand long ago, but, if it hadn't then THIS CASE WOULD BE IT. Where's your line? If it hasn't been reached by now then not only do you not have one, but you never will and quite honestly there is something wrong with your thinking. Read the excerpt from yesterday's testimony. So many lives ruined that day. Beyond recognition. So many innocent children and adults found a monster in their midst. I feel physically sick in my stomach reading this. I cannot imagine what it must have been like to experience it. I was going to take my daughter into Parnell Square the following week for The Moving Crib like we used to do every year. We didn't go as it happens. We never will again. The man in question in this case was brought in here and let live without working or contributing for 26 years. Then when he didn't get what he wanted he took it out on human beings who were a fraction of his size and strength, but not before declaring hatred for Irish people. He used the worst weapon he could find. He didn't even want to stab the adults in his path. He just wanted the babies lined up like sitting ducks. Sitting ducks only because of what has been deliberately done to this nation. It is evil. There is no other word. Excerpt: "Cathal Faughnan, who worked in Temple Street children's hospital, told the court he was walking on ParneII Square when he saw a group of around "eight or nine kids” lined up outside the gates of a school. Choking back tears, the witness recalled them looking "quite idyllic”. He said he then saw a man in his 50s, looking very suspicious, about three metres away from the children. Mr Faughnan became upset again as he said he saw the man going up the line pulling out children. He saw him with a knife and saw him "go at the kids”, one child in particular, as well as another boy. "He was physically going up and down the line of kids like he wanted to get every kid in the line that was there,” he said. He described the man aiming "repeated downward strikes” towards the children's necks."

Labour tacitly acknowledge that immigrants make up a large number of social housing residencies. Their solution? Shut people who want transparency down. They hate Irish people so much they want to take houses from them in a housing crisis and they want to remove their right to complain about it.

AHHH...So the vote a few weeks ago on the very same thing was to give the illusion they wanted to protect what the people voted for and agreed to and protect women and unborn babies. It was all by design and they couldn't even keep it up for more than a very short period before letting the mask slip. In the past few years 10 thousand women who visited a doctor in Ireland for a termination did NOT return after the 3 day wait showing that, with a few hours to think about a very big decision (that can lead to regret and lifelong pain), many women choose to proceed with their pregnancy. They don't want women having this window of time because it means many will change their mind. Think about why they might not want women to have time to think, when in fact every one of these politicians likely takes days or longer to consider MUCH lesser decisions (like going on a holiday or buying a car).

Irish trust in news has dropped 9 points since last year a new survey has found - one of the biggest drops globally: gript.ie/irish-trust-in-news…

This sleveen is trying to sneak in Digital ID under the guise of child protection. Lies. Just look at the degeneracy being pushed into classrooms - by the same government. Shameful.

The last 2 holders of the EU Presidency were Denmark and Poland. Poland spent €95m. Denmark spent €80m Irish Government to spend €400m. A complete waste of taxpayers money. #Irexit #Irishfreedom

Why in a GAELTACHT of all places are foreign single men from thrift world countries being given housing over native Irish families? How much more of this are people going to take?

Dublin dad, Warren Donoghue, has described how he gave Riad Bouchaker “a dig in the jaw” to put him on the ground and “a few kicks” to keep him there after a stabbing outside a school on Parnell Square. gript.ie/dad-gave-bouchaker-…

The trusted news that the minister talks about, our state broadcaster RTÉ, once tanked a presidential campaign by taking a rumour spread by a Sinn Féin burner account on twitter and presenting it as fact to the public. #HowIrelandWorks

Spare Us the Lecture, Mary: Flying the Tricolour Isn’t the Same as “No Irish Need Apply” Former President Mary McAleese has taken to Trinity College Dublin to wag her finger at anyone daring to wave the Irish tricolour while complaining about mass immigration. According to her, flying your own flag and saying “Ireland for the Irish” is basically the same as the old “No Irish Need Apply” signs that greeted emigrants in Britain and America. The sheer historical illiteracy here is staggering. Let’s get this straight. The Irish fled famine, poverty, and British policies in the 19th century. They were often treated appallingly as cheap labour in someone else’s country. That was ugly, no doubt. But today’s situation is not symmetrical: Ireland is a small, prosperous European nation that has absorbed very rapid demographic change in a short period. Native citizens noticing housing shortages, strained services, rising crime in many areas, and cultural friction are not “intimidating” anyone by pointing it out or flying their flag. They’re exercising the perfectly normal human instinct to preserve their own homeland, the very instinct every other people on Earth is allowed without being branded bigots. McAleese’s comparison collapses under its own weight. The Irish in Boston or Liverpool weren’t colonising those places or demanding they be remade in their image while the locals footed the bill. They assimilated (or at least tried to) into existing societies. Equating modern concerns about unsustainable immigration with 19th-century anti-Irish bigotry is the kind of lazy, emotionally manipulative rhetoric that shuts down debate rather than engages it. Do the Irish not have a right to their own country after centuries of struggle for independence? Apparently not, according to this worldview. She also couldn’t resist the greatest hits: Brexit is “the triumph of stupidity,” the EU is an “extravagantly wonderful, miraculous idea,” and the world is full of the “gravitational pull of stupidity” and conflict. The UN and Universal Declaration of Human Rights were supposed to transcend all that, poor dears. Meanwhile, Ireland’s own streets have seen real tensions, protests, and incidents that the political class spent years downplaying. But sure, let’s lecture the plebs about flying flags while praising fragile international institutions that have manifestly failed to deliver the utopian peace she imagines. The subtext is classic elite condescension: ordinary people worried about rapid change are just ignorant, history-denying racists and misogynists amplified by evil social media. Leadership “creating audiences” for bad thoughts is the problem, not actual policy failures on borders, integration, or housing. Never mind that Ireland’s transformation has happened faster than many natives feel comfortable with. Questioning that pace makes you the villain. McAleese, who experienced The Troubles and the peace process, should understand identity and belonging better than most. Yet here she is, effectively telling the Irish they must surrender any strong sense of national particularity so newcomers can feel welcome. The flag belongs to everyone now, apparently, except those who want to keep Ireland Irish. This isn’t progress. It’s the same old elite script: push open borders for everyone else, but never admit the real costs. The “malign forces” Mary McAleese worries about aren’t ordinary Irish people waving their own flag. The real problem is the refusal to face reality.
