This post box in Glasthule predates the establishment of the Irish state- it was installed before Queen Victoria died in 1901 & rebranded green with the establishment of the Irish state

We should never let Sinn Féin commemorate IRA murderers like Bik MacFarlane without remembering this. Not in my name. Not in the name of Ireland. This man's pain continues for the rest of his life. I don't want a UI that they want.

Today is the 33rd anniversary of the day the IRA bombed Warrington town centre and killed my son Tim and 3 yr old Johnathan Ball. Words can never describe how losing a child leaves a huge hole in your heart and your family. Eternal love Tim ❤️❤️

Netherlands: Police discovered several hundred kg of cocaine concealed in a van during a control operation in Papendrecht, alongside a suspected firearm. The investigation led by the seaport police [Zeeland-West-Brabant] traced the network to a warehouse in Klundert, where eight suspects were arrested with assistance from customs officers.

NATO Allied SOF Command (SOFCOM)
Parachuting into the weekend 🪂 🇦🇹 Austria’s Jagdkommando—elite Special Operations Forces—continues to sharpen airborne mastery where it matters most: in complex, mountainous terrain. From static-line insertions to high-altitude freefall, operators confront one of the toughest variables in airborne ops: unpredictable alpine winds. Precision navigation, rapid reorientation, and pinpoint landings aren’t optional—they’re mission critical. 🎯🏔️ As a long-standing NATO SOF partner, Austria demonstrates operational readiness across the spectrum: combat jumps, tactical insertions, and specialized capabilities—including K9 airborne operations. Interoperable. Capable. Ready. #Bundesheer #Jagdkommano 📸 Paul Kulec @Bundesheerbauer @AustriaatNATO

A "nuisance" offender who meted out a "volley of violence" on a defenceless "drunken bowsie" in response to his mother being insulted with lewd requests for sex has been sentenced to life imprisonment for murder. In an impact statement, the two brothers of victim Juris Kokenbergs told the Central Criminal Court today that the worst experience of their lives was looking into their elderly parent's eyes to tell them they had lost a son. Watching their mother and father saying goodbye "to their firstborn son was the most heartbreaking thing we experienced," the brothers wrote. courtsnewsireland.ie/nuisance-offen…

Bob Kennedy fired all 17 vaccine experts and replaced them with loyalists. A federal judge just threw out everything they did and restored vaccine schedule's for children. The regime lost. Full story: dworkinsubstack.com/p/the-trump-re…
