This was something else ... Sam Maguire and All Ireland champions Jack Carney, Donnacha McHugh and Diarmuid O Connor piped onto Achill Island by local pipe bands. The place was heaving. It was emotional and evocative. The gift that keeps on giving 💚❤️
Nico Williams es campeón del mundo. Y tras la premiación, va directo a la tribuna a entregarle la medalla a su madre. Ella, que en 1994 salió de Ghana y cruzó parte del Sahara para poder llegar a España en busca de nuevas oportunidades.
Una campeona más.
Donald Trump attacks Giorgia Meloni — and she delivers a fiery speech he’ll never forget.
Donald Trump thought he could easily score political points by calling Giorgia Meloni “an insult to Jesus,” accusing her of “not being woke,” and claiming that God does not discriminate. Unfortunately for “Don Dementia,” this time he picked the wrong target.
Standing at a historic location, Giorgia Meloni didn’t just respond — she delivered a full moral reckoning.
“The President of the United States just said that I insult Jesus,” Giorgia Meloni declared. “Do you want to know what really insults Jesus? Taking healthcare away from the sick while cutting taxes for billionaires.”
And that was only the beginning.
“Do you want to know what else insults Jesus?” she continued. “Deporting foreigners and separating children from their mothers.”
Then she went even further, touching on war, corruption, and hypocrisy.
“Do you want to know what insults Jesus? Bombing innocent schools in Iran and sending our brave men and women to die in yet another endless war… hiding the Epstein files and then refusing to prosecute anyone involved.”
This wasn’t politics as usual. It was a full moral indictment.
Giorgia Meloni, targeted by Trump for supporting transgender people and for saying that “trans children are children of God,” completely turned the tables. Instead of backing down, she grounded her message in the very teachings Trump tried to weaponize.
“I am not a perfect Christian,” she said. “There was only one perfect man, and two thousand years ago he was crucified.”
Then came the line that hit the hardest:
“Jesus told us to love our neighbor as ourselves… Can we imagine war in heaven? Can we imagine hatred in heaven? Can we imagine poverty in heaven? Then why do we tolerate these things on Earth?”
This is how you respond. Not with insults. Not with fear. But with clarity and conviction.
Trump tried to discredit her. Instead, Giorgia Meloni delivered a sermon that now echoes far beyond that hall.
Please share Giorgia Meloni’s inspiring words.
Pep Guardiola was asked, has Salah lost his sparkle?
🗣️ Pep Guardiola:
“That's not true. Salah is the best right winger in the history of the Premier League, by the numbers. And in yesterday's press conference, my entire talk was about how to stop Salah—he's the beating heart of Liverpool.
Every player in the world goes through a dip in form. You're talking about a player at his lowest level this year, and despite that, he's among his team's top scorers.
Salah has been at the top for 10 consecutive years, and these are the qualities of the greats. Only 3 players have done it: Messi, Ronaldo, and Mohamed Salah.
The fans are emotional—they forget 10 years of nonstop giving and remember just one unlucky year. That's our problem here.”
Joe Biden hasn't been President for 14 months.
trump bragged he'd lower prices on day one.
He said he'd end the Ukraine War in 24 hours.
He said he'd cut energy prices in half.
trump said those things, you dipshits.
Keep Joe Biden's name out of your mouths.
Blame the guy who's busy starting wars and stuffing his own pockets while picking YOURS.
This is a tanker on fire in the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump officials just told Congress — behind closed doors — that they didn't plan for Iran closing the strait.
They launched a war without planning for the most predictable consequence in the history of U.S. national security.
This is what MAGA voted for. Gas prices up 51 cents in a week. Zero tankers moving through the world's most critical oil chokepoint. And an administration that literally admitted to Congress they didn't see it coming.
Elections have consequences. This one's on fire.

BREAKING: Music legend Bruce Springsteen drops a bomb on MAGA world by announcing a surprise nationwide tour to defend America against "our wannabe king" and his "rogue government."
Best of all? The first stop is in Minneapolis.
"Fans, friends, and good folk from coast to coast. We are living through dark, disturbing, and dangerous times, but do not despair. The cavalry is coming," The Boss said in an announcement video.
"Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will be taking the stage this spring from Minneapolis to California to Texas to Washington, D.C. for the Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour," he continued. "We will be rocking your town in celebration and in defense of America, American democracy, American freedom, our American Constitution, and our sacred American dream, all of which are under attack by our wannabe king and his rogue government in Washington, D.C."
"Everyone, regardless of where you stand or what you believe in, is welcome," Springsteen added. "So come on out and join the united free republic of E Street Nation for an American spring of rock and rebellion. I'll see you there."
By starting the tour in Minneapolis, Springsteen is intentionally drawing attention to the brutal violence and killings that Trump has inflicted on the city with his masked federal agents. The singer composed the hit song "Streets of Minneapolis" in response to the ICE crackdowns. It went on to chart #1 in 21 countries.
The tour starts March 31st and will entail 20-date arena showings. The timing is an absolute disaster for Trump, because it means the bard of blue collar America will be hammering his administration at one sold-out show after another. Given his rock bottom approval rating and worsening Epstein scandal, Trump can scarcely afford more bad press ahead of the midterm elections.
Springsteen has proven to be one of Trump's most formidable and outspoken foes. He recognizes that this president has betrayed the working class that populate so many of his hit songs and he despises the relentless attacks on our democracy.
Please ❤️ and share to thank Bruce Springsteen!
