"No doubt Chuck Schumer and the head of Antifa (whose name escapes me at the moment) were in cahoots to shut down the government so that they can turn America’s national parks into training grounds for leftist guerrillas."

The now deleted video from Heather Humphreys’ team including an image of the Reichstag building in Berlin.

Video focused on how Heather knows the border and the North - and was posted days after she said she doesn’t just go on “day trips”.

Survivors of childhood abuse (now aged in their 60's & 70's) are on day 16 of hunger strike outside the Dail over redress.
Why is the State treating victims so abysmally that elderly people are hunger striking and sleeping on the streets to get justice? #Speirgorm

What I can't believe is there is no journalist or publication in this country that hasn't mounted a serious investigation into where Steen, the Life institute, the Iona Institute get their funding from and their links with Opus Dei. Surely that is one meaty story for a professional journalist?

This is one of Ireland's great scandals. It is disgusting, infantilising, disempowering and downright dangerous.

And why is it means tested based on your partner's income if you cohabitate? I am disabled and can't work and yet I can't marry or even live with my partner of almost four years or I'll be forced to depend on his income which, through no fault of his, is not large enough to support two people.

The Basic Income for the Arts Scheme is €325 a week, similar to what they gave out during the pandemic. This is how much they've deemed one needs in order to live in Ireland. So why is disability benefit only €244? Why are disabled and sick people expected to live so far below the poverty line?

Libs of Tiktok, Elon Musk, and Robbie Starbuck put everything they had into trying to push a boycott of Netflix over LGBTQ characters in their shows.

Netflix ignored them and the stock is back up. Turns out bots don't actually cancel accounts.

I won't link to the IT, but they have a story about Steen demanding that the election be postponed following Gavin's resignation, which she says "further" undermines the legitimacy of an election in which independents were "blocked" from appearing on the ballot.
