Trump: If Iran has put out any mines in the Hormuz Strait, and we have no reports of them doing so, we want them removed, IMMEDIATELY! If for any reason mines were placed, and they are not removed forthwith, the Military consequences to Iran will be at a level never seen before. If, on the other hand, they remove what may have been placed, it will be a giant step in the right direction! Additionally, we are using the same Technology and Missile capabilities deployed against Drug Traffickers to permanently eliminate any boat or ship attempting to mine the Hormuz Strait. They will be dealt with quickly and violently. BEWARE! President DONALD J. TRUMP

A vertical shot of a small woodland waterfall cascading down dark, moss-covered rocks into a shallow pool. The water is captured with a long exposure, giving it a smooth, milky white appearance. Lush green ferns and leafy bushes vividly frame the waterfall on both sides. Tall tree trunks with patches of light moss rise into the canopy in the background. The soft, diffused lighting creates a tranquil, verdant, and magical forest atmosphere.
I took a wander down to Edenvale Woods in County Wexford recently. I love this little waterfall thatโs tucked away beneath the lush moss-draped trees and vibrant green ferns.

Square format in bold painterly acrylics on canvas. Yellow and orange large leaves float over your head in the foreground against a background of tall straight black trunks and green foliage of evergreen trees with some blue sky peeping through on the right and in even smaller gaps in the top left corner. Above is a canopy of smaller yellow leaves with darker yellow leaves behind them and in between are some small twisted branches of almost black, whereas the large leaves in the foreground have no obvious branches connecting them so appear to float. The ground is a small glimpse of deep orange. Signed bottom left in light blue, Liam Daly
A #painting from a couple of years back. "Golden Leaves V" was started many years ago when I had a studio in an old cobbled stableyard, and a few acres of woods led down to the River Liffey so I would happily lose and find myself in them all the time. And who wouldn't? #art #SpeirGhorm

Such a tragedy to be torn away from everything they had known. I wish we were beyond these things rather than, apparently, drifting back to them.

Oh wow. I knew there's a lot of Ukranians in Canada but I didn't realise it went that far back.
Mennonite belief is pacifist, isn't it? So sad what these smaller religious groups went through.

"My time in local government copper-fastened my view that decisions affecting people's lives should be made as close as possible to those whose lives they impact."
Classic subsidiarity. Makes sense.

Exactly. There is a reason that fewer people are taking jobs in crop picking etc. But rates are not that high so you have to work hard to make a living in all weathers.
Happened in Ireland, happened more recently in Eastern Europe.

Office.eu and the hope for a digitally sovereign Europe
A new productivity platform called Office.eu promises to enable organisations to regain control over their data and digital operations.
The idea of digital sovereignty has finally taken centre stage in Europe, after years of the region conducting its business and administration on infrastructure made elsewhere.

๐ต It was 11 years ago today,
Ireland legalised ecstasy,
All the lads and ladies went for broke,
Gobbling down the bags of yokes,
So may I introduce to you,
Everybodyโs biggest fears,
Coming down in work again! ๐ต

Rand Paul: "I think we've gotten overextended. This is our second war in a month, and these wars are very very expensive not only in the lives that are lost, but also in treasure. I'm very very concerned about the debt. Half a trillion dollars for the military budget is fiscally irresponsible."
