A few isolated individuals, Irish intellectual life is totally dominated by the left. It is an extremely unhealthy, suffocating situation.

Are US media that weak?
Can't they ask Trump and his servants why Trump supports Putin rather than the democratic West, including Ukraine?

How do you allow Russia to attack you ?
By saying 'Please attack us, Russia'
Or 'Dear Russia, if you attack us we promise not to
make any attempt to defend ourselves'
Or 'How much would we have to pay you to persuade you to attack us?'
Trump is clearly out of his mind
But don't worry. He's only the President of the United States...

Father Brendan McGuire used to be a Silicon Valley technology executive. Now he’s hearing their confessions. Today, the Irish-born pastor of St. Simon Catholic Parish in Los Altos, California, is helping to shape the moral conscience of the artificial intelligence industry.
Earlier this year, he was among the faith leaders invited by Anthropic, the AI company behind the chatbot Claude, to advise on the creation of an ethical framework to govern how the AI system handles complex moral questions.
“I came from the industry,” Father McGuire told OSV News. “My heart’s never left it, but my heart is really with the Lord.”
“I’ve always felt my role was to bridge those two worlds together,” he said.
In an interview at the Vatican after the promulgation of Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, Father McGuire underlined the urgency of the pope’s message.
“What I’m most worried about is us as humanity not taking this moment seriously,” he said. “If we stay silent and just be passive, then this could go very wrong for us.”

The audacity here is actually off the charts.
Return is a “Not-for-profit” funded by the public. They made €100m in year one.
This money stays on their balance sheet. It doesn’t go back to the State.
But €100m isn’t enough. They wanted tax exemptions too.
So using your money they hired a Fine Gael councillor to go and lobby his Fine Gael colleague who was Minister for State.
Both the councillor & Minister also paid entirely by you.
Throughout this chain of events Not a single extra euro in value was generated for the State.
No innovation,
No entrepreneurship
Just leeching & looting of the taxpayer.
Does anyone care ???

Re-Turn is the scam that keeps on scamming. Fine Gael councillor was hired by Re-Turn to lobby a Fine Gael Minister to remove 23% VAT on the unclaimed bottles!! The councillor previously worked for the PR company Teneo whose client is ReTurn. ReTurn is sitting on €100m after just one year but they’re still not happy. They wanted tax exemptions on top. A humiliation gravy train.

What’s the ‘philosophy’ that Europe needs to succeed into the future, a place truly worth spending the short span of a human life in? A place where people once again want to have children, build families, and by doing so make the ultimate long-term investment in our shared tomorrow.
One can read the great philosophers and their counsel for what makes for a life well lived. One can be a follower of the Christian Gospels. One can fully embrace the Nicene Creed. I would certainly recommend them all.
Here, in my view, are some of the key ingredients in the recipe for that success:
Work hard at whatever your work is. If you don’t yet have work, take any honest job that is moral and does not destroy your soul.
Make commitments. Don’t endlessly defer them. Risk rejection, and when you are rejected, as you sometimes will be, simply try again.
If at all possible, get married and don’t delay having children. Nothing in this world is more important than children. They are our future. Build a family. Create your own legacy, your own traditions, your own cultural treasures, drawn from the generations that came before you and passed on to those who will follow.
Don’t wait for everything to be perfect, because it never will be. Get comfortable with striving, with imperfection, and even with the possibility of failure. That is the human condition.
Promote and encourage beauty wherever you can. Seek harmony with nature where possible, and practise humility before God and the great lessons of human history.
Choose love, not lust. Lust destroys. Love serves, heals, and brings forth the most bountiful fruits.
Take risks, for yourself, for others, and for a mission greater than yourself that might improve the world we live in and the one we hope to leave behind.
Defend truth and justice, most especially when it costs you or puts you at risk. Defend all human life and the inherent dignity of every human soul.
Be chivalrous. Practise good manners and be polite wherever possible. In this way we truly see and honour the dignity in others, answering the call to serve, and at times to sacrifice, even in the smallest and seemingly insignificant ways.
Lift others up with a word of support, guidance, or honest praise whenever you can. Never be afraid to correct error and encourage a better path when you are certain there is one. Fight for what is good and worth saving.
Try to forgive. Forgiveness is the liberation of the soul. Pride is the door that bars the way to it.
Above all, remain humble. There is always someone wiser, more experienced, or further along the path than you are.
This is the spirit that can renew Europe, not through grand schemes or ideologies, but through the quiet, courageous choices of ordinary men and women who decide to live fully, love deeply, and invest in the future through their children and their example.

Finally, someone is saying it out loud:
“The United Nations General Assembly should vote on removing the Russians from the Security Council. Russia is a pariah state and should be treated that way” - by @RepDonBacon
IMPORTANT CONTEXT: Russia isn’t even legally entitled to the UN Security Council seat it occupies today. Technically, it was the USSR - not Russia - that was one of the founding members of the United Nations. And while Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union at the time, it separately participated in the founding of the UN and independently signed the still-active UN Charter in 1945.
When the Soviet Union collapsed, Russia simply replaced the USSR’s nameplate at the UN Security Council. There was no mandatory procedure, no vote by the UN General Assembly or the Security Council, and no formal approval by UN member states.
For comparison, when the People’s Republic of China replaced the Republic of China as China’s representative at the UN, the General Assembly adopted Resolution 2758 to officially recognize the PRC as the legitimate representative of China.
Russia went through no such process.
In other words, Russia’s presence on the UN Security Council is one of the greatest frauds in the history of international diplomacy. It inherited one of the world’s most powerful diplomatic positions without the legal procedures that would normally be required.
Everyone should know that.

Putin is losing this war.
Tried to take all Ukraine—failed.
Tried to overthrow Zelenskyy—failed.
Tried to demilitarize Ukraine—failed.
Tried to stop NATO expansion—failed.
I honestly can't believe this war has not ended yet.

I sometimes feel that one of the few improvements
in life on the planet during my life has been the gradual
but steady growth in the importance of women in our society
Now these mediaevalists are trying to reverse that ?

The whole Guéhi debacle looks even worse now.
He was the ready made replacement for Konate.
Not signing him last Summer should be a sackable offence for Hughes & Edwards.
But it was worse not even going back in for him in Jan.
Why didnt they when they knew Konate was likely off?

Here is a man so thrilled with his score of three that he’s printed it on a poster, framed it, and presumably hung it above the fireplace next to the stuffed marlin. Three cognitive tests passed. Obama: nil. Biden: nil. Donald: a glorious hat-trick. Take that, libs.
Except this is rather like boasting that the DVLA keeps writing to you. Nobody on Earth is more chuffed about their three passed exams than the chap who hasn’t quite worked out why he keeps being sent to sit them. You don’t get marched in for a dementia test three times in a single year because you’re sharp as a tack and a delight at dinner parties. You get marched in because the people around you have started quietly relocating the car keys and pretending the remote is lost.
It’s precisely what happens to grandad. One morning he reverses the Rover through next door’s hedge, and by teatime the family has booked him a cosy little chat with the doctor about whether he should really still hold a licence. And there are only ever two outcomes here. Either they ask you to come in and prove you’re still all there, or they don’t bother asking, because nobody’s the least bit worried. Obama and Biden got the second one. Donald got asked three times. And there he stands, beaming, brandishing the certificate, gloriously incapable of grasping that the trophy he’s waving about is, in fact, the diagnosis.

Trump is now bragging over doctors being so concerned with his cognitive decline that he was given 3 dementia tests in a year and Obama/Biden were given 0. Not the brag you think it is, Donald!
