🚨HUMILIATING: Trump slapped his name on the Kennedy Arts Center for an ego boost.

Now it’s curtains — shut down for 2 years for “renovations.”

But here’s why the timing is… embarrassing. Share this widely so the truth can’t be demolished. 👇
Trump’s Kennedy Center BACKFIRE

Oh well!

To host the last game, the Irish gov spent €4.2m on a licence fee to the NFL, and another €5m on infrastructure and “operational costs”.

DCC spent €350,000.

Imagine if that money was spent on local sporting initiatives? A lot of kids in Dublin City don’t even have a pitch to play on.

The EU is pushing for significant deregulation, under the guise of "simplification". They are planning to chip away at one vital environmental law at a time. Once lost, these protections rarely return.

Kudos to the musicians at the Grammys for being much more open about their contempt for ICE than the actors at the recent Golden Globes.

“What verdict will history render on those many moments of cowardice and silence from journalists who fell into line with the genocidaires? What will it mean to look in the mirror and realize that, when it mattered most, they chose career safety and complicity in genocide denial?”
Israel’s Military Now Accepts 70,000 Killed in Gaza – But Why Did Our Media Let Them Get Away With Denying It for So Long?
I have spent the past two years debating the credibility of the Gaza Health Ministry’s numbers with supporters of Israel. It turns out the Israeli military agrees with me, not them.

In case this goes over some heads, the 'black and tans' were Britain's paramilitary police in Ireland during the War of Independence.

After years of burning out whole towns and murdering innocent people, many went straight to Palestine to do the very same, preparing the way for Israeli takeover.
