The Re-turn scheme is one of the biggest scams ever played on the people of Ireland. We pay extra tax on drinks while the private companies who run the scheme are currently holding almost €100 million of our money. They pay themselves very well too… €1.1 million in salaries and €300,000 in directors’ fees and that’s two years ago! Thanks to Sarah Carey in today’s Irish Independent for this wake up call. As usual, this useless Government is failing us.

The first public child molestation accusation against Michael Jackson came in 1993 from Jordan Chandler, then 13. His father Evan Chandler (born Evan Charmatz) brought the claims forward after Jordan told a psychiatrist, triggering a police investigation and civil suit. The case settled for about $23 million with no admission of guilt and no criminal charges.

Evan was Jewish, born to Jewish parents in the Bronx. He changed his surname from Charmatz because he considered it “too Jewish-sounding.”

This is my piece on my Grandfather who survived 5 years in concentration camp and spent the rest of his life giving others the love, compassion and freedom he’d been denied. He was my hero, and he still is: https://t.co/m1eMkM4fod

Here are some of the songs I've been listening to this summer. It starts with a song Michelle and I love by Glen Hansard, a great musician who passed tragically this week. Our hearts go out to his family.

We are supposedly at war to stop Iran from enriching the uranium we “obliterated” over a year ago.

Yesterday we signed a deal to help Saudi Arabia enrich uranium.

The first time the United States has ever helped another country enrich uranium on foreign soil.

The Saudis refused the inspection protocol 140 other countries accept. Too intrusive, they said.

Trump agreed. He signed a national security waiver to get around the rule.

The Saudis paid Kushner $100 million. They put $2 billion into his firm. They put another $6 billion into LIV Golf, which pays Trump properties to host its tournaments. They signed ten billion dollars in Trump-branded real estate deals in Jeddah and Riyadh. All in just the last few years.

But sure. My paintings.

Israel killed these 3 children in Gaza today, alongside their parents.

They were asleep in their beds when Israel dropped a bomb on their home in the middle of the night.

An entire family wiped out in a single strike.

North/Northern Ireland, County Tyrone!

I’m sharing this because of another failure by institutions inside this country, this is disgusting and this family made the following statement. I believe it should be shared, as our leaders do absolutely nothing, many young children are committing suicide over this stuff, but this girl has already suffered so much and it’s heartbreaking 💔

“Wee Caitlin became part of our family as a quiet wee girl shortly after loosing both her parents when she was just 6 years old.
Tragically she further lost her brother the following year.
Caitlin is very much apart of all of our family and is very much loved.

The wee critter has been through more in her short life already than many people could tolerate.

Unfortunately since she started Holy Cross school her quiet and shy mannerisms hasn’t gone unnoticed by half reared bullies who tend to identify vulnerable children.

This incident happened yesterday evening in the canal area of Strabane after Caitlin was lured there by someone acting friendly to her.

This is one of 4 serious assaults that Caitlin has suffered since May. The last one was only weeks ago outside Mc Donald’s in Strabane when she was set upon and dragged by the hair and threw in front of a car.

As a family we have exhausted every avenue and have been let down by both the school and the Police. The scumbags who are doing this have no worries sharing and gloating over these videos so I have no problem sharing what Our wee Caitlin is having to put up with in this town!

When I get the full list of everyone involved I will be naming them and their parents as I’m not fucking having this anymore. And if any of yous see this and know your child is involved I’m telling yous now to put a stop to it or everything that was done to Caitlin by your dragged up brats will be done to yous
To see this video this morning has broken us all. Evil demonic bitches”

@tweetsandboobs Challenging days are what make you stronger. Don’t get down, focus on the joys you have been blessed with. ♥️ and the joy you spread globally. It must give you strength.

I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) for the Nobel Peace Prize.

No President in History has ended the same war so many times.

Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count.

No President has ever done this before.

And he is nowhere near finished ending it.

It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

[United Irishman @IrishmanUnited]

Always said a united Ireland is above party politics. United ireland is the national aspiration. Let FF,SF,SDLP, FG, Alliance, Unionists (what ever form they take)PBP, Soc Dems etc argue their case for what sort of country they want. No party owns Ireland.

“The power of the Fleadh Cheoil goes way beyond the music and way beyond the celebration. It’s about people. There’s no generation gap, it’s a family event.

"You’re going to have children, you’re going to have mammies and daddies and grandparents. And that’s what gives it a particular ambience.”

With just six weeks remaining until the start of Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2026 in Belfast, event partners and stakeholders gathered today to mark the official countdown to what is expected to be one of the largest cultural celebrations ever hosted in Northern Ireland.
