💔 RIP Chuck Norris (1940–2026).

The martial arts master, action icon, and unbreakable spirit who inspired generations with his strength and heart has passed. Thank you for the memories, the laughs, and the lessons in toughness.

You’ll be forever missed. 🕊️

[Tiffany Savage 🇺🇸 @patriot_savvy]

Rest In Peace Scott Adams.

Denmark  has a population of 6 million. In 2025 from Jan to September there were only 1490 applications for asylum. Last year Denmark granted asylum in only 860 cases. 860! That needs to said again, only 860 people in Denmark in 2024 were granted asylum. 860 is a rounding error when it comes to the Republic’s numbers.

Am listening to the #Inauguration. Lots about human dignity and social justice. The belief that we are all of infinite and equal moral worth is ultimately a religious one that a non-religious worldview can't sustain. #catherineconnolly

Down to a two horse race and I'm tempted to vote for the glue factory.

Now that Jim Gavin has withdrawn, it's a two-way Áras race between Catherine Connolly and Heather Humphreys.

Who will you vote for now? https://t.co/wyQQDZiLoI

MAJOR BREAKING: ABC affiliate Nexstar is standing firm, still refusing to air Jimmy Kimmel on their stations due to his refusal to apologize for spreading lies about Charlie Kirk’s assassin:

"Nexstar is continuing to evaluate the status of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' on our ABC-affiliated local television stations, and the show will be preempted while we do so," Nexstar said in a statement. "We are engaged in productive discussions with executives at The Walt Disney Company, with a focus on ensuring the program reflects and respects the diverse interests of the communities we serve."

Well done @NXSTMediaGroup 🔥

[David Quinn @DavQuinn]

The Irish commentariat are very sad about Kimmel getting the chop. They were delighted when it happened to Kevin Myers.

Words are not violence. When you pretend that views that oppose your own are violence, you are justifying the use of actual violence towards the speaker.

Gender ideology’s reliance on tropes and slogans like ‘words are violence’, its constant rationalisation and justification of using force against opponents and its preference for enforcing compliance through fear rather than permitting debate, are straight out of fascism’s playbook.

‘The function of propaganda is . . . not to weigh and ponder the rights of different people, but exclusively to emphasize the one right which it has set out to argue for. Its task is not to make an objective study of the truth, in so far as it favors the enemy, and then set it before the masses with academic fairness; its task is to serve our own right, always and unflinchingly.’

The words are Hitler’s, but I must have seen trans activists say the same thing, barely rephrased, a thousand times. Your movement seeks to remove rights from others. It is anti-truth and critical thinking, pro-violence, pro-dehumanisation of those who disagree with you, and you are so lacking in self-awareness you cannot see that you are precisely what you pretend to hate.

This is actually a good statement from Bernie Sanders

Simon Harris is in a hot-air balloon, lost over Kanturk.

He shouts to a man below, "Excuse me. I promised a social worker I’d meet her, but I don't know where I am."

"You're at 52 degrees 10 minutes North latitude and 8 degrees 54 minutes West longitude," he replies.

"You must be a Green." Said Harris

"I am. How did you know?" Said the man.

"Because everything you told me is technically correct, but the information is useless, and I'm still lost. " Shouted Harris

"You must be a Blueshirt." The man replied

"Yes. How did you know?" Answered Harris

"You've risen to where you are due to a lot of hot air, you made a promise you couldn't keep, and you expect everyone else to solve your problems. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it's someone else’s fault”.

It looks like supporting the referendums in 2015 and 2018 has become a sort of modern-day Test Act if you want to serve in high office in Ireland. We have been here before.

“I hope your wife is raped. I hope your mother is raped. I hope your sister is raped and gets pregnant”.

That particular message has been imprinted on my brain since I received it in early May of 2018 in a letter that came in the post to my home address.
