Safe, legal, and rare was always a lie. Here are the numbers ⤵️ Generation X: —8.7 million abortions —Nearly one-quarter (24.88%) of the generation —For every 3 babies born, 1 baby was aborted.

'the adaptation roundtable' as if we're meant to know all about what that is.

"Under gold-plating, Ireland has often adopted additional restrictions [to building homes] beyond what was agreed at an EU level to ensure a 'best in class' approach." But of course we did. (Hat-tip @AontuJames). irishexaminer.com/news/polit…

In Crime and Misdemeanors, Martin Landau plays an atheist doctor who has his mistress killed. At first he feels guilty, but then realises that if there's no God there is no overarching moral law and therefore he has no need to feel guilt.

Now that Mamdani has been elected Mayor in NY, maybe we can have a serious look at introducing socially owned, state supported grocery stores in Ireland.

I'm in an abusive relationship with the government. I want a divorce.

🚨NEWS - VICTORY - SUSAN SMITH. @PoliceScotland have informed @ForWomenScot & @SpeechUnion they've concluded their ‘review’ into the criminal complaint made against FWS Director Susan Smith. She will not receive a Police Recorded Warning or be subject to criminal charges for alleged ‘minor vandalism’ outside the Scottish Parliament on 4 September 2025. Police will be taking no further action in relation to the complaint made against her.    This is a win for free speech, for women's right to be heard in Scotland and for basic common sense. Susan has been offered a meeting with senior officers at Police Scotland and will be taking up that opportunity to discuss her case and the wider issues raised - particularly the need for women to feel protected by law enforcement.  Susan Smith commented: "I am relieved that I can now draw a line under this episode and I am incredibly grateful to the Free Speech Union and my lawyer Neil Hay for all their help and support. This has highlighted how difficult and frightening such an action must be for those who are not able to draw on the help of FSU and who cannot hope to have the same level of public, political, and press support I was fortunate enough to receive. "While I am delighted that Police Scotland have dropped this case, it is concerning that an individual who came with the express intention of disrupting our rally and drowning out our speakers was taken seriously, especially when extreme, credible threats to women are frequently overlooked. "I can now refocus on the essential work of FWS. We will continue to challenge the reluctance in Government, public bodies, and third sector organisations to obey the law as clarified in our Supreme Court victory in April and ensure that women’s rights are respected and our voices are heard." Fraser Hudghton added:  "Questions are raised about who mandated the course of action against Susan Smith and whether there is parity when it comes to policing protests. The public expect all police investigations to be impartial and complaints dealt with even-handedly. That has not been the impression given.  Police have come to the correct conclusion but only after a public backlash.  "Of pressing concern is the speed at which police investigate or charge those who hit a political red button topic. It suggests that on certain issues you'll face the full brunt of our criminal justice system for holding 'unfashionable' opinions. The manner in which @scotgov policy wraps its tentacles around Police Scotland and @COPFS is of great alarm to FSU, as it should be to us all. The process is the punishment. Bad actors know this and savour it. "With the help of FSU Susan has not had to endure an extended nightmare. I thank Susan for her resolve in fighting back, and her solicitor Neil Hay for his criminal defence work on her behalf."

Climate change is unarguable. The science is undeniable. Temperatures are rising, and the clock is ticking. #COP30

Under Islamic law, dhimmi status was forced on Jews and Christians, “protected” minorities who survived by accepting humiliation. They paid the jizya tax, could not bear arms, could not repair their churches or synagogues, and were constantly reminded that they lived only by Muslim tolerance. A dhimmi internalizes his inferiority the same way an abused person begins to believe he deserves the abuse. When Arab Christians defend Islamic terrorism, or when Westerners excuse jihad as “resistance,” you’re watching collective Stockholm syndrome, entire cultures identifying with the ideology that despises them.
