Simon Harris: Itβs disgusting that Russia is economically benefiting from the US-Israel war on Iran
Also Simon Harris: We canβt implement the Occupied Territories Bill that I promised to before the election as we support Israel economically benefiting from the genocide in Gaza.
@lukeming Bono has just got an award for his outstanding service to the European Union. What an absolute joke. A tax dodger and genocide denier. The competition must have been fierce.
New βTrump getting the peace prize awardβ award just dropped.
artenews Simon Harris "The idea that Putin and Putin's Russia would in any way benefit financially from a moment of conflict and pain and trauma in the Gulf region would be utterly despicable."
Simon Harris heroically suggests we close the stable door a week after the horse has bolted.
Of the 4,521 homes built in Dublin in 2025 only 208 went For Sale to ordinary homebuyers. Thats Govt policy working.

@news.rte.ie Ireland is hosting a dedicated pavilion at one of the world's most significant property conferences this week, on the French Riviera, as part of an effort to attract billions of euro in foreign investment into our housing system
The Irish government will do absolutely anything, including inviting in more absentee landlords, in order to avoid having to do something about the housing crisis. Itβs not foreign investment, itβs international financial feudalism.
I donβt know how the EU Commission are able to say anything at all with their heads stuck so far up Netanyahuβs arse.
This is an absolute disgrace. The only acceptable solution is to tear them down alongside Dalymount Park, The Hut, the bohs shop and whatever hipster coffee Pilates place has the most electric cargo bikes outside it.

EXCLUSIVE: A well placed source close to government has told an anonymous source, who has access to cabinet, that an unnamed official is very happy to go on the record about the hurty feelings caused by President Connolly, on the condition of anonymity.
look mammy, I did a journalism
Government sources anonymously briefing that "Any criticism of the American government's actions makes the Taoiseach's job harder" kind of gives the game away doesn't it
100%.
An anonymous source close to me says that you're a useful idiot for the government.
Not to be outdone, the Irish Times has another shit-piece with unnamed/anonymous govt sources distraught at the truth. These are the same shower that call for no anonymity on social media. Fuck them and the journalism that enables such crap and does a disservice to actual reporting.
Thereβs a long litany of crimes, atrocities and wrongs committed in this so-called US-Israeli war with Iran. But none is more egregious than the failure to allow Democratβs to vote for it | some liberal Dem in the WaPo shortly.

Irish Daily Mail headline: CONNOLLY'S SPEECH PUTS TAOISEACH'S WHITE HOUSE VISIT IN PERIL
They were out early this morning
A week ahead of βseriousβ Irish journalists asking is it appropriate that President Connolly spoke out against the US-Israeli breaches of international law in lieu of reporting fully on said breaches of international law.
Know of two journalists who have received notice to quit/eviction notices directly related to the Govts new rental rules. Wonder if their outlets will report on these stories. I doubt it.
Belfast Live posted a reel or whatever they're called in which a member of the public can be clearly heard yelling "get back in the kitchen you fuckers", followed by laughter.
A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder today after a woman died in Fermanagh.
I thought America was almost irredeemable. But seeing so many brave liberals using the US-Israel war on Iran to scold the anti-genocide milquetoast left with the amazingly powerful βyou shouldβve voted for Kamalaβ burn has made me reconsider my positionβ¦

Haaretz headline Israel and the U.S. still can't get Iranians to rise up against the regime despite tactical wins
We need to find out why the people who weβve bombed, sanctioned and dehumanised for decades wonβt accept us as their liberators, guys. We need our best people working on this, guys. Guys?

See, while you canβt say it, and I definitely wouldnβt say it, but it has to be said that feminism has gone too far. How much equality do you need? Weβd ask. If you could say it. But you canβt.
Not saying that Iβm losing my edge, but I did forget to post my always well received βyeah, but whenβs international menβs day?β post in advance of this militant feminist day.
Good news reaching us this Sunday morning. It has now been confirmed by several media outlets that Truth has been found.
The lesser reported bad news is that it sadly wasnβt taken alive.
Please donβt offer me your old Gym + Coffee hoodies. I know theyβre a form of right wing currency. But I refuse to endorse Gaeler merchandise. See also Bichon FrisΓ©βs.
Iβm running a half marathon this morning to raise funds to buy phone holders, tripods and ring lights for the people who were forced to flee from the Great War of Dubai without their worldly possessions.
Pls donate as generously as possible.
Be careful. Behind you there are two gougers looking to rob you.
