Does anyone else find it odd that $200 billion is spent on cancer research every single year and the only thing to show for it is a 75% increase in cancer deaths since the 1990s?
The Government takes €850 million of your money each year and gives it away to other countries in overseas aid.
The money is distributed by the development program, Irish Aid.
But here's the thing.
This year, Irish Aid took about €130,000 of that money and spent it on throwing Africa Day parties around Ireland.
That money - taken from our poor, our homeless and our sick - was supposedly for overseas projects.
So why is it being spent on DJ sets in Tuam and bbqs in Dun Laoghaire?
It's time to seriously consider whether our overseas aid budget should be cut to zero.

You can't tax rich people on unrealized gains from stocks because "it's not real money until it's sold."
So explain to me why my property taxes keep going up based on the unrealized value of my house?
I didn't sell it.
I didn't cash out.
I didn't make a profit.
But somehow I'm paying taxes on paper gains every single year.
Interesting how "unrealized gains" only become a problem when wealthy folks are involved.
Two men die in the space of a week. One is a black immigrant with a history of stealing and other crimes. His death is quite obviously not deliberate and very much related to his own activities over a lifetime. You are supposed to assume he was a victim of racism and that a grave injustice has occurred.
Questioning the system and demanding 'justice' is the politically correct opinion. Politicians and others will comment on the case and breathlessly decry supposed racism and discrimination against non-whites. The Non-white population are encouraged to constantly impugn the behaviour of white people collectively and claim that we all share some collective guilt over this situation. We are failing them. If you disagree you are an evil person and should be held accountable for your transgressions.
Across the same city an Irish man is lured by two men of foreign background to a place where he is brutalised and murdered on camera, seemingly due to who he is. You are supposed to draw no conclusions. An investigation is ongoing and you shouldn't prejudice it. Collective guilt is absolutely off the table. We have in no way failed this man and his family. Anyone who says anything about the case invoking collective guilt or calling out particular ethnic or racial communities for their behaviour is an evil person and should be held accountable for their transgressions.
The multicultural and multiracial society is very successful in curating such double-think. The fact that the two positions outlined above coexist, one supporting the other in some perverted dialectic, is evidence that society has been driven insane. No justice or representative governance is possible in such a society.
🇺🇸 Fox aired an interview with retired Robert Harward, former Deputy Commander of CENTCOM.
The clip went viral for something odd though.
The internet, of course, has theories...
Your liver makes about 1,000mg of cholesterol every day.
You eat, on a generous day, about 300mg.
If you eat more, the liver makes less. If you eat less, the liver makes more. The body has a target. It defends the target. It does not negotiate.
The pharmaceutical industry has built a 40 billion dollar product category around interfering with that target.
The drug is a statin. The mechanism is straightforward. It blocks an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase. This is the same enzyme that builds cholesterol. It is also the same enzyme that builds CoQ10, which every mitochondrion in your body requires to produce energy. The drug doesn't know the difference. The drug doesn't care.
You take the drug. The cholesterol goes down. So does the CoQ10. So does the testosterone, because testosterone is made from cholesterol. So does the vitamin D, because vitamin D is made from cholesterol. So does the bile, the brain function, the muscle integrity.
You get tired. You get foggy. Your legs ache. Your libido disappears. You go back to the doctor.
The doctor prescribes something for the fatigue.
The doctor prescribes something for the libido.
The doctor prescribes something for the muscle pain.
The doctor does not prescribe taking you off the original drug.
The original drug is working as designed.
That is the design.
🚑 In the Netherlands, 2% of Medical graduates emigrate. In Ireland, 50 to 60% leave within a year. The Netherlands has approx 2% non-EU trained doctors. There are a series of notoriously gruelling exams to enter the Dutch system. Ireland has 28% non-EU/EEA/UK trained doctors. There is a one-off test, the PRES Level 3, that has cheat videos on the internet. 82% of doctors sanctioned for medical malpractice in Ireland are foreign trained. The system is broken but Sláintecare seems destined to continue with the same model - mass export of Irish graduates & mass import of foreign workers.
@caulmick@NoelMcgree They all know, they're just playing silly beggers to distract from how shit a job they're doing in gov. Also, fiver says it's not a FG TD
@holden_salinger@EoinLenihan I don't entirely disagree. I'm looking at it after doing two separate engineering ordinary degrees & neither was a stroll in the park. Regardless, you'd still need to be able to articulate shit and put some sort of coherent writing together, which seems well beyond her abilities
@marybuckley549@paulmurphy_TD I've been to college, twice, and it isn't easy. So, how can someone attain a BA afrer doing the LCAP? There's a reason ppl do the LCAP, because they're not college material. The epitome of a DEI hire. No slight on her, not her fault. But please, call a spade a spade
@RealDonKeith@TheMandyGall She's not intentionally woke, she's just not intelligent/informed enough to know what she's saying. She's also not intentionally a crayon muncher but...🤷🏻♀️
