Old Celtic Park, Terry's Tattoo shop, The General Wolfe pub, the Grange bar, the Straw House, the Four ways, the Wee Mans, erra Spearmint chewing gum and Macaroon bars, waiting outside the pub for your old man, the songs before kick off, the roar as the team comes out the tunnel.

So we seen Gers fans crying last season saying the refs and var were making sure celtic won the league but it shows here rangers got more VAR's awarded to them and less VAR's against them.😂😂 Crying bastards still couldn't stop us being champions 🍀🍀

Un 4 de julio de 1766, se declaraba la creación de EEUU, una tierra que fue robada a los nativos americanos, edificado con la sangre de las tribus indígenas y con el esclavismo de los africanos, mantenida con el saqueo imperial al mundo.

La población nativa en Norteamérica pasó de entre 5 y 15 millones a menos de 238.000 personas a finales del siglo XIX debido a las masacres, la limpieza étnica, el desplazamiento y el genocidio de los colonos blancos, que bajo el gobierno de EEUU autorizó cientos de campañas militares contra las tribus hasta exterminarlas casi al completo.

Estados Unidos desde su creación en 1776 ha pasado 230 de sus 250 años de historia en guerra, directa o indirectamente, es decir, más del 92% de su existencia han estado en guerra contra otros países para poder mantener su imperio genocida.

Los nativos americanos perdieron el 98% de sus tierras ancestrales y el 96% de su población... pero en sus películas supremacistas los indios siempre son los malos y los buenos son los colonos genocidas... ¿a que me suena 🇮🇱?

IMPORTANT FOOD FACTS THAT SOUND FAKE BUT ARE TRUE!

1. Ginger works as well as ibuprofen for pain.

Trials put ginger head-to-head with ibuprofen for arthritis and period pain and found no real difference. Same relief, without tearing up your stomach.

2. Cloves have more antioxidants than any food on earth.

More than blueberries, pomegranate, and acai combined. In the biggest antioxidant study ever done, over 3,100 foods, ground cloves came in at number one. A pinch of your tea does more than a shelf of expensive supplements.

3. Moringa leaves have more protein than beef, ounce for ounce, dried.

Dried moringa runs about 25 to 29% protein. Beef is around 26%. And it carries every essential amino acid, more calcium than a glass of milk, and more vitamin A than a carrot. One tablespoon.

4. Dandelion, the weed you rip out of your yard, beats most of the produce in your store.

More beta-carotene than carrots. More calcium than milk. More iron than spinach. Plus compounds that help your liver and kidneys clear out waste.

You've been poisoning it. It's been trying to feed you.

5. Broccoli needs to be chopped and left to sit for 40 minutes before you cook it.

Sulforaphane, one of the most-studied cancer-fighting compounds in any food, only forms once the plant is cut. Cook it whole and you get almost none. Chop it, let it rest, then cook it light. The preparation is the medicine.

6. Oregano holds more antioxidants than most berries, fresh or dried.

In that same study, dried oregano landed in the top five spices on earth. It's full of rosmarinic acid and quercetin, both studied for calming inflammation and fighting off microbes. A teaspoon is working harder than you think.

7. The white pith of a lemon is more medicinal than the juice.

That spongy white layer everyone scrapes off carries hesperidin and naringenin, flavonoids studied for lowering blood pressure, easing inflammation, and protecting your blood vessels. The juice is mostly acid.

Most people throw the medicine in the trash.

8. Turmeric without black pepper is almost a waste.

On its own, only about 5% of curcumin, turmeric's healing compound, actually absorbs. Add black pepper and that jumps by roughly 2,000%.

South Asia has paired the two for thousands of years. They didn't have a lab. They had eyes, and time.

None of this came from a lab. It came from the ground, and from people paying attention. Food was always the medicine. 🙏

The U.S. bombed Tehran, killed its head of state and Zahra, his 14-month-old granddaughter. Why do you call it peace

Do you know what is in your kebab?

Many people in the UK thought they did but one of the largest suppliers, Kismet Kebabs, has just been prosecuted for lying extensively.

Their “lamb” kebabs were labelled as having 50-70% of lamb but DNA testing has shown they have very little lamb.

The contents were often mostly skin, fat, goat, beef trim/offcuts, chicken, mutton, and mechanically reclaimed meat.

The company made at least £6m from the fraud and it was just fined £500,000 (plus court costs).

So much for the “UK’s No. 1 Halal Doner Kebab Manufacturer”.

[MSM Monitor @msm_monitor]

Remember the Deposit Return Scheme? Remember we were told Scotland including glass breached the UK Internal Market Act? Wales is set to introduce a DRS next year that will include glass. BritNats and their compliant media sabotaged Scotland's scheme to undermine the SNP.

Let's see if the scare stories, now being circulated in Wales, will come to pass.

[╰┈➤ 🇮🇪 Brònzy 🇮🇪 @BronzyGuevara]

🇮🇪 The (Genocide) Great Famine of 1845 was not simply a crop failure. It was the systematic unraveling of a civilization by the British, a moment when over a million Irish men, women, and children starved wile food was exported from Irish ports under British guard. Families who had worked the same land for generations were handed eviction notices and pushed into the road with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

What followed was one of the largest forced migrations in modern history. Nearly two million people fled Ireland between 1845 and 1852, boarding coffin ships to America, Canada, and Australia under conditions so brutal that tens of thousands never survived the crossing. The Ireland that remained was scarred in ways that still echo through Irish families to this day, in the surnames left behind, in the townlands that emptied and never refilled, in the roads that went nowhere and built nothing.

We Irish did not just endure.
We carried our culture, our language, our faith, and our fierce defiant identity across every ocean and planted it in foreign soil. The Genocide shaped who us Irish are at the deepest level, the resilience, the gallows humor, the unshakable bond with land, and the long, unforgiving memory. If your family came through those years, you carry that story in your blood.

We will never forgive or forget!

🇺🇸🇮🇹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.

[IRAN ARMY ☫ @IranArmySpoofX]

The United States seems intent on exacting revenge for its battlefield loss by targeting the sports arena instead.

The Iranian national team left Seattle Stadium in the US and headed straight to the airport, returning to Mexico and arriving at 4:00 a.m.

The United States has no right to host international sporting events.

This has been the most unfair World Cup for Iran.

Thank you, Mexico. 🇲🇽
