I had dinner with a friend from Germany tonight and asked why the AfD is so successful.
He told me about a 55-year-old German woman who lost her sight. Her disability allowance application was rejected, so she now has to work in a call center.
At the same time, a story went viral in Germany about a Syrian man with several wives and countless "children" pocketing €100k in welfare benefits, despite polygamy being illegal in Germany. €100k plus free rent and free healthcare, paid from the taxes of the blind woman working in the call center.
Got it now?
You actually couldn’t make this shit up. A guy illegally enters the country with fake documents. Does a runner across the tarmac in the airport to escape security. Air traffic disrupted while he’s on the loose. He arrested and brought to court (why not put back on the first plane back to where he came from) and a judge says in “innocent until proven guilty” when the Gardai object to bail on the grounds he’s a “flight risk” as they have no idea who he is or what his real name is. A court date is set and he walks free and you can be sure he won’t turn up in court.
Only in Ireland can you get away with this. Our justice system and border protection is broken and a mess.
Another Arabic interpreter required in a Galway court.
A 36-year-old man has been refused bail after Galway District Court heard allegations that a woman was assaulted and locked in an upstairs bedroom for approximately 14 hours before Gardaí arrived and freed her.
The court heard that the woman sustained bruising to her face, head, arms and torso.
A detective Garda described what is alleged to have happened as a “serious ordeal”. The woman was allegedly so frightened that she contemplated jumping from the upstairs bedroom window.
The court was also told that the accused came to Ireland in June 2024 and applied for international protection. He has no previous convictions, and an Arabic interpreter was required for the proceedings.
So, almost two years after arriving in this country, he now finds himself before an Irish court accused of extremely serious offences against a woman.
Let me be absolutely clear: these are allegations. He is entitled to the presumption of innocence and they must be proved in court.
But if these allegations are proved, then apparently almost two years in Ireland was not enough time to learn one of the most basic rules of living here:
You do not assault women.
You do not imprison women.
And seeking international protection does not place anyone above Irish law.
If you come to Ireland, you obey Irish law. It really is that simple.
Local women in Galway say they have been left "terrified" and "fearful" and "reduced to warning each other by Whats App" after an alleged gang rape at the main train station in Galway on August 1st, the final day of the Galway Races.

A gay couple in Canada is suing their surrogate mother for not getting an abortion after an ultrasound showed the child might have a slight deformity like a cleft lip.
My kid brother has a cleft lip, and he served 23 years in the army before retiring as a lieutenant colonel. If you think ending a life over something like that is up for debate, then we have nothing else to talk about.
Children should NEVER be up for sale.
Ahmad Al-Saqar from Jordan has got away with murder in Ireland.
Will the question be asked, how he came to Ireland to claim ayslum after living in France?
Will the questions start on how many more women must be attacked at the hands of migrants before something is done about it?
Will questions be asked as to how many criminals we have imported?
How many are here with fake documents?
Is this case more proof that none of these people entering the country are who they say they are.
An Israeli soldier in Gaza holds up the sock of a Palestinian girl after killing her, filming himself smiling, after writing in his post (in Hebrew): "My new hobby: smelling the sock of a 5-year-old girl twice a day for 4 months."
This is neither a narrative nor an analysis. These are the soldier's own words, with his picture and from his own account.

Because foreign men raped and tortured these children, no celebrity, no media personality, no politician, no talk show host, and no streamer will speak about it.
There will be no speeches at the Golden Globes. There are no mass protests. Almost no one in any position of influence will dare touch the subject.
This silence was the intended result of years spent teaching people to fear being called racist. The word was used as a weapon to make them afraid to say what they see. It was used as a weapon to rape and torture these children.
These same foreigners can rape children with animals while the bet on it. They can kill them in the streets their parents once walked safely. People will stay silent.
The reality is, if White men had done this, it would be the biggest story in the world. It would be taught in schools as a crime against children that must never be forgotten. I personally can't remember anything that compares to it within our generation.
But because these men belong to groups within the "diversity" umbrella, the people who think themselves brave and progressive choose to stay quiet.
Just another brilliant move by our fantastic government 👏🏼
"The Government has paid millions to a company for asylum seeker accommodation owned by a man who the Criminal Assets Bureau have linked to the Drogheda gang feud."

I started work at 5.30 am this morning and I'm home since 9pm
I'm fucking shattered
I'm not young anymore
I'm now having a drink to try and unwind before I get up and do it all again tomorrow
Why doesn't this pay off ?
Why can't this pay off for my children ?
Why are my taxes going towards making the lives of men who have no connection to me,my family or my land more comfortable and better ?
I hate the left
I hate self loathing Irish people with no pride
I hate corrupted appeasing NGOs
I hate Irish politicians
I hate what my country has become
I love Ireland
I love Irish people
God bless
🇮🇪🇮🇪
"Outrageous": @Ben_Scallan grills Children's Minister Norma Foley after RTÉ promoted a book instructing under-16s on how to engage in explicit activities:
"I don't know that book, I'm not familiar with it -"
"Minister, I actually emailed your office about this ahead of time."
The woman living in an IPAS centre who died in violent circumstances and was found with “serious neck injuries” in Clifden was the mother of two children attending primary school in the area.
The suspect was known to her and is a foreign national.
