Yes, yes I am.
Yes, yes I am.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

Renee Good's last words:
βThat's fine, dude. I'm not mad at you.β
Alex Prettiβs last words:
βAre you ok?β
βGet it all on record now β get the films β get the witnesses β because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.β

Time for citizens to exercise their 2A rights.
Watching Trump's WH briefing at 1900UTC. The man is senile. What a load ofr rambling nonsense.
Aurora Borealis in Cork last night. And this is far from the best picture available. Biggest solar storm in decades.
Bleak times in Copenhagen: βItβs like fifth graders bullying the small guy in the cornerβ

"Innocent until proven guilty." Unless of course you're a mom going about your business, and then you can be summarily executed without trial.
I think I was a little too critical, sorry. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/10/u...
Google the video & see for yourself.
This is not law enforcement. This is murder.
Sickening.
And I've just watched some of the video form the aftermath of the ICE shooting. Great to see folks actively protesting.
Well done you, but what makes you think I haven't been protesting? There's not a lot of anti ICE protests in Ireland for obvious reasons, though there is shock here at the very recent ICE shooting. In any case America is the the existential threat here, not Ireland.
Dear Americans: If you're not actively protesting and resisting Trump, you're complicit in his actions. Sincerely, the rest of the world.
Easily done with AI, by the way. I did an AI Xmas card and we ended up with an extra child without even trying. And our eldest had 3 arms.
They can redact and play games but it doesnβt change the fact that the President of the United States is a child rapist.
βIf any of you put a stumbling-block before one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for you if a great millstone were fastened around your neck and you were drowned in the depth of the sea.' Matthew 18:6. For every single person associated with Epstein in any way. Unforgivable
Does anyone remember the late great Jerry Pournelle's Chaos Manor blog? He entertained interesting debates on whether the USA should be a Republic or Empire. Someone can correct me if I get this wrong but his view was, either way, it should at least be competent. Right now Trump would be Nero.
Done with pleasure.
Being an Irish citizen and resident, I have an outsider's view of the USA. Many Americans abhor what is going on in and around the current administration. However separating the USA from Trump is impossible in matters of foreign policy. The USA is as presented by insane stories like this.
Thanks Brian!
Clearing a clogged and flooded foul line in the pouring rain is a marvellous way of focusing one's mind. And the hot shower afterward is even better.
The foul line is still flooded, so I will have further opportunities to marshal my thoughts.
It's dreadful stuff. Dare I suggest POTUS needs to spend a little time in the gentle care of The Trickster?
The phrase, "No shit, Sherlock," springs to mind.
Someone left 5 boxes of chocolates in the local hospital during the week, left specifically for βNurse XXXXX with the lovely red hair.β Nurse XXXX being the daughter, of course. Proud dad!
Gosh, if there were only an injection or something to prevent this. (For the record, I've had almost every damn vaccine you can think of, because I travel a lot. Also annual COVID-19 and Winter Flu shots. Bring 'em on.)
