🪉 Breandán Mac Cionnaith is 68 years old. 🪉🇮🇪

In the past two weeks he has stood on the front line facing down the Orange Order, The PSNI, The Secretary of State, The British Government, all of the sectarian Unionist Party's, the media, and just about every single other person on the planet who threatened the peace of the Garvaghy Road community that he loves so much...

Ireland has always had it's heroes. Warriors who led from the front. Who never gave an inch...

Breandán is a rebel. And tonight that rebel has led his people to victory...

Go raibh maith agat Breandán...

The standoff at Drumcree continues as both sides wait for the outcome of a court of appeal application which argues that the Parades Commission 'materially misdirected itself' on the police assessment of the potential for disorder.

@RestoreUlster Okay so the Garvaghy Road march can go ahead just as long as a 1916 rising commemoration march can go down the Shankill road.

[Kerry Burgess @KerryBurgess]

What a journey for this young man.
As an Ulster Protestant, I initially became a Nationalist out of sheer frustration with the piss poor, intransigent, Unionist politicians. Their ignorance, crassness and vulgarity was an embarrassment, and it made me question and research the validity of the Union. Of course the minute you do any research you realise that the British shouldn't be governing any part of Ireland.

This is truly a great man. He has invested more in Ukraine than 185 countries combined.

Meet Howard Buffett, Warren Buffett’s middle son. He is 71 years old. He dropped out of college three times. He drinks Dr Pepper and looks for a McDonald’s wherever he travels.

Since the beginning of the war, his foundation has become the largest private donor to Ukraine: $1.4 billion.

Over four years, he has personally visited Ukraine 27 times.

In April 2022, he saw burned-out agricultural machinery and called the president of John Deere:

“How many combines are available in Europe?”

“Fifteen. All of them were supposed to go to Russia.”

“I’ll take them all.”

Then came all the available New Holland equipment in Europe. Altogether, more than 100 tractors and combines were provided to Ukrainian farmers.

He even tested demining equipment himself - on his own farm in Illinois, detonating explosives beneath rollers. When a Ukrainian deputy minister expressed doubts, Buffett told him:

“Stop counting my tractors. If necessary, I’ll blow up a thousand of them.”

Andriy Stavnitser initially asked him for $1 million for Superhumans. Buffett asked how much was needed to build the entire center.

“$14 million.”

“Okay. And what do you expect in return?”

“Nothing. Build it.”

Today, his support for Superhumans has reached $77 million, and the center has treated more than 1,700 patients.

But his largest area of spending is neither agricultural machinery nor prosthetics.

It is food: 642 million meals.

And that is only part of it:
* 344,000 windows replaced after Russian attacks;
* 9 bridges, 4 power plants, 2,500 generators, and 18 DNA laboratories;
* Much of Bucha rebuilt with his funding.

“I already have more friends in Ukraine than I do at home,” he says.

He celebrates birthdays in Ukraine, comes for Christmas, and even has a Ukrainian godson.

Friends, this is truly a great man - someone who understands that he cannot take all his money with him when he leaves this world.

I simply want to thank him and wish him well.

Whatever else one may say, this is real help from a person who had no personal obligation to Ukraine.

He simply chose to help.

@krassenstein Not only the Americans bought 50B$ more from a country than they sold to, BUT THEY DID IT BECAUSE THEY PAY LESS!

Cut that access, and they will not only lose their export sales AND they will pay more for the imports they will be forced to substitute..

STAGED Assassination attempt question #500. Why did they choose the EAR?
Let's start by stating, the odds of a bullet shot approx. 150 yards away by an amateur "shooter" who he himself is under the stress of being killed, hitting trump in one of the FEW body parts that would likely result in no serious consequence is ASTRONOMAL, to say the least!
But the fact that the "blood" on trumps ear appears to be VERY MINIMAL raises the question of, HOW? Here is physician Dr. Rima Labow breaking it down the inconsistencies:
“The red circle indicates where the flow of blood from Trump’s alleged wound is defying the pulling force of gravity. Having streaked across his face when he was in a crouch behind the podium, we see that his face, shirt and suit are free of blood which, considering the abundant vascularization of the region, is astounding. And here I am speaking as a physician. Generally, bullet wounds bleed. It’s part of what they do. And the more heavily vascularized a region is, the more heavily they bleed. Not only that, blood is well known, throughout observational studies spanning the whole of mammalian history, to follow the dictates of gravity. For those who like their anatomy in the vernacular, it is the posterior auricular artery. It comes off the external carotid artery, a vessel with a good deal of flow moving through it, so when the posterior auricular artery is cut or shot or opened in any way, it bleeds like a SON OF A BITCH”
Further, when trump appears again in public with no PROP bandage, his ear has no "chunk" taken out, in fact not even a stitch or visible scar. Which is why he later appeared with the bandage to cover this fact up. Social Media was blowing up with pics and questions.
Clearly, trumps conspirators have no basic medical knowledge and in choosing to portray him getting hit in the EAR by an AR-15 round, they may have tipped their hand and displayed to those who ARE educated (or at least not morons), that the whole event WAS A STAGED PERFORMANCE, fake blood and ALL!!

My name is Mark Slapinski, Canada's most popular journalist.

I am willing to pay higher prices temporarily so that Trump loses the midterms, gets impeached, then gets arrested for raping children with Jeffrey Epstein.

I know the majority of Canadians (and Americans) support me!

ChatGPT has quietly built a file on you. You've never seen most of what's in it.

Every message you send feeds it. It studies your patterns to map your personality and habits, things you never actually told it.

Here are 15 prompts to pull up everything it has on you, and wipe what you never agreed to:

Les multiples exigence de Trump que le Canada se débarasse du fait français rendent loufoque les prétentions de certains souvrainistes qui affirmaient qu'un Québec indépendant pourrait négocier avec Trump.

The AI stock market bubble is close to $80 trillion, approximately 2.5x larger than 2000 dot-com bubble.

To give you an idea of the scale of this bubble; if the stock market were to crash back to long-term averages, it would be equivalent to a $300,000 loss per U.S. household.🚨

[Financelot @FinanceLancelot]

According to the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), AI bubble investment now exceeds:

• Canal mania of the 1830s
• UK railway mania of the 1840s
• US railway mania of 1873
• Electrification mania of the 1920s
• Dot-com mania of the 1990s
