Ireland's far left are in TURMOIL after the people of Waterford DEFIED People Before Profit by attending the opening Mass for Ave Maria University at Mount Melleray
The fact that @raymaxwell55 witnessed @HillaryClinton's Sunday after-hours #Benghazi document purge session in the basement of State Dept HQ and that he was one of 4 personnel reprimanded by the Accountability Review Board and placed on administrative leave should not be seen as mere coincidence. The ARB said it was "troubled" by Maxwell's "lack of leadership and engagement on staffing and security issues in Benghazi." This groundless claim was simply a lazy attempt to scapegoat someone other than Clinton who wasn't even interviewed by the ARB.
Maxwell's unjust administrative leave lasted a year despite no official charge being levied against him. Ultimately the State Dept cleared him of wrongdoing and reinstated him. He retired a short time later in Nov. 2013. (1/2) https://t.co/QzImidOS9F
Dominos’ Pizza founder, Tom Monaghan, opened a new catholic university in a former Cistercian monastery in Ireland.
Far leftists, namely 'People Before Profit' have been attacking Tom and Ave Maria University with vile conspiracy theories.
Despite this its reported that large crowds turned up to the opening Mass of Ave Maria University at Mount Mellera.
Eternal Catholic W 🇮🇪

When the Accountability Review Board requested State Dept documents regarding #Benghazi for its investigation, @HillaryClinton's senior staff members orchestrated a purge of any documents that shed a bad light on her and the State Dept, and handed over only the remainder to the ARB. This document purge was witnessed by former State Dept Deputy Assistant Secretary Ray Maxwell @raymaxwell55 in an after-hours Sunday session in the basement level of State Dept DC headquarters. He wasn't invited but decided to show up anyways when he heard about it.
When he arrived, Maxwell observed boxes and stacks of documents. A State Dept office director told him "Ray, we are to go through these stacks and pull out anything that might put anybody in the [Near Eastern Affairs] front office or the seventh floor in a bad light." The "seventh floor" was State Department shorthand for Hillary and her senior advisers. Two of those advisers, Hillary's chief of staff Cheryl Mills and Deputy Chief of Staff @jakejsullivan were present and overseeing the document purge. When Maxwell asked the State Dept office director participating in the document purge session "But isn’t that unethical?" she responded, "Ray, those are our orders." Maxwell soon left the session because he didn't feel good about it.

IRELAND 🇮🇪
Today marked a significant defeat for the far left
People Before Profit had waged WAR against Ave Maria University and Mount Melleray all week
Yet, THOUSANDS of locals DEFIED them by attending the Mass with Bishop Alphonsus Cullinan this morning to celebrate the historic Abbey being preserved under Ave Maria's stewardship 💪
🚨 FRANCE 🇫🇷
The biggest story in the French speaking world today is the military chaplain in Carcassonne who gave a homily in which he said 'Shh Leftists, breathe through your nose'', criticised those in power as 'incompetent' and said
'Keep fighting. Keep having this courage. Keep having this faith.
Otherwise we will be ridiculed.
Otherwise this beautiful country that is France will be mocked, and others will take our place.
It is the law of the strongest that will reign. And others will take the place of our values'
The homily has drawn an outraged response from the left, with prominent leftist politicians calling for the priest to be JAILED
“Sir Desmond found — and the government accepted — that the murder of Patrick Finucane involved State collusion. Others have suggested it was State direction. These are the most serious allegations in a democratic society governed by the rule of law.”
Britain once racially caricatured Ireland as the burden. Today the 26 counties have GDP per head of about €104.3k, versus €49.3k in the UK (World Bank, 2024). That old image has been turned on its head. The 32-county debate now takes place in a very different Ireland. 🇮🇪 💪
As an investigative journalist working for CBS News in 2012, @SharylAttkisson received statements from State Dept officials not wanting to be quoted by name claiming that Ambassador Stevens was at least partly to blame for his own death. One State Dept official painted Stevens as a "renegade" who went to #Benghazi on his own accord without their knowledge, but quickly added "That's not for attribution."
@HillaryClinton's State Dept spread their spin that blamed Stevens so widely amongst their press contacts, that many of Attkisson's colleagues used similar wording in casual conversations. The copycat wording was in statements/questions like "Why would Stevens choose to go to #Benghazi on 9/11?" and "I hear he was kind of a renegade." and "I'm not even sure the State Dept knew he was going to Benghazi."
Plod of the year. A security guard challenges a citizen journalist at an asylum hotel. He calls the police and the journo points it is illegal to not show his badge.
Journo: "He's breaking the law"
Plod: "What am I supposed to do?"
