BREAKING: Ireland prepares a SCATHING welcome for Trump — and Irish cops are threatening a sick-out during his visit this weekend.
The Iran war is spiraling out of control, inflation is still soaring, and the development of data centers depletes water and power supplies nationwide as AI continues to threaten the continued existence of humankind. And what is Donald Trump doing? Heading to Ireland to attend the Irish Open at his Doonbeg golf resort.
Naturally, Ireland is rolling out the least welcoming welcome mat imaginable for his visit this weekend, and it's glorious.
A County Clare family spent weeks planning a massive protest sign in the field behind their house, positioned directly under the approach path to Shannon Airport's main runway. The finished message, spelling out "F#@k TRUMP" in letters that dwarf the house beside them, was designed specifically so Trump couldn't avoid seeing it as his plane descended.
The woman behind the idea originally planned to protest at Trump's resort, but abandoned that plan once she realized the security lockdown would keep protesters far away. "So, we just said we'll do this instead," she explained, admitting it took weeks of nagging her husband Paul into helping.
Not to be outdone, a separate group carved "NO KINGS — GAZA IRAN ICE" into the sand on a Dublin Bay beach, directly beneath the Dublin Airport flight path, timed to wash away with the tide. Uplift's executive director Siobhán O'Donoghue explained the symbolism perfectly:
"We want to send a message to Trump that he is not welcome here in Ireland. We stand against genocide in Gaza, against his illegal war on Iran, and against masked ICE agents out kidnapping people and tearing families apart. His presidency has brought nothing but terror, destruction, and death, and he is not welcome here. We chose sand to drive home the message that Trump’s administration will one day be history.”
But the real chaos is happening behind the scenes with Ireland's own police force. Garda officers are reportedly furious after being ordered to personally pay for their own accommodation during the massive security operation, with hotel rooms near Doonbeg quoted at anywhere from $1,160 to a staggering $18,573. One source didn't mince words: "There's a use-and-abuse policy from management and they're expecting lads to just show up."
Garda Representative Association President Niall Hodgins called the entire situation "nothing short of a shambles," noting that past state visits from Obama and Queen Elizabeth II saw the Garda centrally arrange lodging, unlike this operation. Some officers, deployed at short notice and later told their assignments changed after already paying for rooms, are reportedly threatening to call in sick or simply not show up.
Meanwhile, peaceful protests are proceeding across Dublin, Shannon, Doonbeg, and Galway, with organizers promising Trump "a great big unwelcome" upon arrival.
Between profane sand art, giant airborne insults, and an exhausted, out-of-pocket police force on the verge of a walkout, Ireland is making one thing abundantly clear: this visit from someone whose blarney is so toxic was never actually wanted.
Please like and share if you don’t blame the Irish for not welcoming Trump with open arms!
I think it’s important that we @SpursOfficial fans learn what is and is not handball as we appear to have a very different idea to everybody else.
So I want to start a thread where we can all learn. Feel free to contribute.
I’ll start with a clear and obvious handball:
Hillary really did Trump dirty with this one.
“We’ve each released our medical records. My blood pressure is 100 over 70. His is unbelievably great.
But Donald really is as healthy as a horse. You know, the one Vladimir Putin rides around on.”
OLD BAILEY FILTON TRIAL VERDICT:
Once again, a randomly selected dozen British citizens have sent a message to the government and to the judiciary that they do not consider it a crime to attempt to stem the flow of weapons to Israel.
The second #Filton25 trial has ended without a single guilty verdict against seven Palestine Action activists accused of a joint enterprise of criminal damage and violent disorder.
Drones manufactured by the target of these activists, Elbit Systems, are currently being used in the West Bank, where illegal Israeli settlers continue to besiege, harass, injure and kill Palestinians, Christians and Bedouins, as the Zionist occupation spreads with no interference and ongoing support from the IDF. Meanwhile, drones in Gaza are fitted with loudspeakers to play crying voices of children to draw people out to search before bombing them.
What jury could possibly convict people who try to stop these outrages? Is this why the government raised the possibility of removing the right to a jury?
Will the Crown Prosecution Service call for yet another retrial in the face of this defeat? Will a genocide-denying judge institute contempt of court proceedings against barristers who have successfully defended their clients? Or will democracy, decency and morality prevail and arms licences be revoked?
"Plastow and his co-defendants – Madeleine Norman, 31, Hannah Davidson, 53, Ian Sanders, 47, Aleksandra Herbich, 41, Teuta Hoxha, 30, Sean Middlebrough, 33 and Yulia Brigadirova, 33 – may now face a retrial."
Please RT this until Burnham's Govt end this expensive farce.

Let the world know by sharing this
Tens of thousands of anti-Zionist rabbis gathered in the Barclays Center in New York City to say that the Zionist regime is a criminal and occupying gang and does not represent the Jews.
What an absolute utter disgrace we find ourselves in with the level of officiating in the Premier League, which is meant to be showcased as the best league in the world.
Lack of consistency is an absolute disgrace, Muani’s disallowed goal came at such a key moment in the match.
“If you supply weapons to somebody that is accused of acts of genocide, then you yourself become complicit in those acts as well”
