A lion walks with a thousand jackals just as a brave man walks with a thousand cowards.

The Infancy Gospel of Thomas was one of the books rejected by early Christians for inclusion in the canonical scriptures and you can see why.

In this gospel, Jesus is still a child-god who does many godlike things but in a childish way.

The Russians attempt to crash Zelensky's plane onto Dublin city, but hey, we're neutral, so no need to take our heads out of our arses.
Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin
Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.

The hilarious thing is that Trump is too stupid to understand that they're playing him like a fiddle.

He thinks it's real.

No wonder Putin is able to control him so easily.
this shit is just beyond parody, man

Ireland is such an anti-Semitic country our entire parliament fell over itself trying to shake the hand of Ukraine's Jewish president.

Funny how the Israeli trolls keep forgetting to mention that.

When Irish Putinists troll reports of Zelensky's visit I tend to reply with this:

"It is said that a lion walks with a thousand jackals just as a brave man walks with a thousand cowards".

I don't know if anyone ever said it, since I just made it up, but it seems to piss them off.

According to a military guy interviewed on RTE, hacking is a "border-agnostic attack vector".

Those media courses are worth every penny.

Trump's crypto is now worthless but it was never intended to succeed.

It was just a drop-off point for bribes from foreign powers.

They don't care if the value of their dodgycoin collapses as long as Trump stays bought, and the newly-bankrupt red-caps who bought the rest don't really matter.

This is Witkoff's sixth visit to Moscow.

Guess how many times he's been to Ukraine.

KARL: Did you know about the judge's order when you issued your order for the planes to continue?

KRISTI NOEM: This is an activist judge. We comply with all federal orders that are lawful and binding.

This is a word-for-word extract from the US Dept of Defense manual on the law of war:

"For example, orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal."

Hegseth needs to go (to jail) and so does everyone in that chain of command
Senator Kelly is correct.

Plus a Public Service Announcement:

KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.

The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Hegseth has two choices.

1. It's a war, in which case finishing off enemy combatants clinging to wreckage is a crime.

2. It's not a war, in which case killing people in international waters is both piracy and murder.

So which is it?

Taxi drivers decided to close down Dublin traffic because they're unhappy with their Uber deal.

Remember, these guys are private contractors in a dispute with a private company.

What next?

Angry plumbers cutting off our water?

Angry electricians turning off our lights?

These Black Friday savings really work.

Today, I didn't go out and didn't buy anything.

Must have easily saved a grand. Maybe more!

Have you ever noticed how much absolutely unscientific shite celebrity chefs like to talk?

When Russia invaded Ukraine on the 24th February 2022, their objective was to take Kyiv.

Does anyone seriously believe that isn't still the plan?
