One thing about us Irish: We do grief well. Together. A cry, a song, a jar and hooly. Yeah, we mourn but we celebrate even more so. I don’t think he’d have ever imagined the impact of his loss on the country.
Listen to these people, out on the street, singing a song about hope and still having time, in echo of the man who gave them it and whose loss yesterday would give anyone cause to question either.
If anyone knows the power of song abd music in shock and grief it’s Dubliners.
Barron Trump is now being pulled into an investigation surrounding Andrew and Tristan Tate, and Donald Trump is reportedly furious. They exclaim the “children” of the President shouldn’t be investigated. How quickly they forget the relentless persecution of Hunter Biden !!
Doug Ford on CNN: "I just find it very frustrating that President Trump wouldn't say, 'Here, we have assets, we'll bring them up there.' Because I can reassure the American people, when you have any natural disasters, we will be there within seconds of a phone call. It's unfortunate the president has to politicize it."
Good for #WabKinew stepping up for Canadians, and firefighters from both sides of the border. Absolutely ridiculous that it even needs to be said, but in the world of the "ambulance chaser" I'm glad he said it in a way that should connect.
"Howard Lutnick lost 658 Cantor Fitzgerald employees who were killed on 9/11..."
Within days — before many were even confirmed dead — Howard Lutnick cut off their paychecks to their families without warning.
He wept on national television. The families were furious.
Years later Cantor Fitzgerald won a $135 million settlement from American Airlines.
Lutnick told senior executives the bulk of the money would go to the firm's partners — not the families of the 658 dead.
He is now Trump's Secretary of Commerce.
He is also the man who lied to Congress about visiting Jeffrey Epstein's island with eight children.
