🚨🗣️New: Thierry Henry reacts to the USA vs Paraguay stoppage for TV commercials:

“I’ve spent my entire life in this beautiful game — as a player at the highest level, as a fan, and now as someone who analyses it every week — and what unfolded during that USA versus Paraguay match left me deeply frustrated. The fourth official standing there on the touchline, arm raised high, instructing the referee to hold the restart… not for any injury, not for tactical reasons, and not even primarily for player hydration in that scorching heat. No. It was because the broadcast team hadn’t finished airing all their commercials. That’s not football. That’s a television show pretending to be a World Cup match.

The beautiful game is being strangled by greed. Players are out there in the heat, ready to restart, momentum building like a storm about to break — and we pause everything so the sponsors can cash in. It’s like stopping a symphony mid-crescendo because the advertisers want their jingle heard. Football didn’t conquer the world by turning into American sports with endless timeouts and ad breaks. We had rhythm, flow, emotion that flowed like a river. Now? It’s dammed up for dollars.

This isn’t about hydration or player welfare anymore — it’s a slippery slope where the soul of the game is sold piece by piece. Fans deserve better. Players deserve better. The referee on that pitch looked like a puppet on strings controlled from some broadcast truck. Enough is enough. We need to protect what made this sport the greatest on Earth before it disappears completely.”

The World Cup should be football’s cathedral. Instead, we’re turning it into a shopping mall with a pitch in the middle.

And here’s the question nobody wants to answer: if the fourth official is waiting for commercials, then who is really running the game? FIFA? The referee? Or the broadcasters?

Because the moment football starts asking advertisers for permission before asking the players, you’ve crossed a line.

The World Cup is supposed to be the showcase of football. Not the showcase of who paid the most for airtime.”

WHAT was Craoibhin Childcare in Letterkenny thinking? We entrust our children to these facilities & they recruit a man in a dress who calls himself Aleena Starshine?? The crèche should be prosecuted for endangering children. It only took Mister Starshine 4 days to proposition an 11 year old child.

Irishman Experienced Racial Discrimination, Being Sacked [Due to a "Downturn"] While Ukrainians Were Kept on

In June 2026, the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) ruled that Mr. O'Reilly had been discriminated against on the grounds of race (specifically, his nationality) when he was selected for redundancy over his Ukrainian colleagues.

Mr. O'Reilly had worked at the hotel for roughly two and a half years. The hotel was operating under a government contract to provide temporary accommodation for Ukrainian refugees. In early 2025, the hotel claimed it needed to reduce staff because the number of refugees staying there had decreased.

Mr. O’Reilly was the only Irish night porter at the hotel. When the "downsizing" happened, he was the one let go, while Ukrainian staff members who performed the same duties were kept on.

Mr. O'Reilly argued that his duties were reassigned to Ukrainian residents of the hotel who were being paid at a lower rate.

It emerged during the hearing that the hotel had never provided Mr. O’Reilly with a written contract or an employee handbook, and he had been underpaid for bank holidays.

Adjudication Officer Úna Glazier-Farmer found that while the hotel did have a legitimate downturn in business, it failed to show any fair or objective process for why Mr. O’Reilly was chosen for redundancy over his colleagues.

The WRC concluded that because he was treated less favorably than non-Irish staff performing the same role, there was a clear "inference of discrimination" that the employer could not disprove.

The hotel was ordered to pay Mr. O’Reilly a total of €7,340, broken down as:

€5,000 for racial discrimination.

€1,120 for unfair dismissal.

€1,220 for other breaches of employment law (such as the lack of a written contract).

It’s an interesting case because "reverse" discrimination (where a local national is discriminated against in favor of foreign nationals) is less common in legal headlines, but Irish law protects against discrimination based on nationality regardless of which direction it goes.

As I said at the end of the press conference, to re-iterate: I will be asking Minister Foley about this exact same issue again at the next press conference, be it next week, next month, or next year. I will, without a doubt, be raising it again at the next available opportunity.

“AND YOU STILL DARE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH…”

Sasha Legerman: This is too accurate not to share.

This Australian’s response to Trump’s rant that “NATO does nothing for America” is absolutely devastating:

“Mate. You run a country where 600,000 homeless people will sleep on the streets tonight.

A country where 40% of adults can’t cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money.

A country where insulin costs more than a car payment, and people ration it just to stay alive.

A country where medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy.

A country where women die in hospital parking lots because doctors are too afraid of abortion laws to treat miscarriages.

You imprison more of your own citizens than any country on Earth.
More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea.

In the land of the free, 2 million people sit in cages, and a quarter of them haven’t even been convicted of anything.
They’re simply too poor to afford bail.

Your life expectancy is declining. You’re the only developed nation where that’s happening.

Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba’s.

Your children practice active shooter drills between math and English classes while you sell defense stocks to your friends.

Your minimum wage hasn’t changed in 15 years.

Your teachers work two jobs, your veterans sleep under bridges, and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that never attacked you.

And now a convicted criminal — found liable for sexual abuse, defending a pedophile, sleeping with a porn star, and running the biggest dumpster-fire campaign since the Taliban — is thanking you for yet another disaster.

And you call Greenland badly governed?

Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world.
Nobody there goes bankrupt because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because insurance refused treatment.

‘NATO wasn’t there when we needed them.’

When exactly was that, champ?
September 11?

Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU.

Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU.

Australia wasn’t even in NATO, and we still showed up. For twenty years.

And then you left at 2 a.m. without telling anyone and left everybody else to clean up the mess.

You don’t care that a great nation is being terrorized by your friend, and you haven’t shown it a single ounce of sympathy.

So maybe before calling other countries badly governed, take a look at your own backyard, you aluminum siding salesman with a spray tan.

The only thing badly managed in this picture is your damn mouth.

And you still dare to lecture the rest of the world?”

You can come to Ireland from a safe country, make a bogus asylum claim, and the department of justice has purchased private homes you may get to live in at the expense of Irish people who are likely struggling to afford a home. Great.

[MichaeloKeeffe @Mick_O_Keeffe]

Unbelievable.

Former Irish Minister for Children Roderic O'Gorman was secretly buying houses using taxpayer funds and filling the houses full of migrants.

Bertie Ahern wasn't the only politician caught on camera when canvassing. In 2024 Roderic O'Gorman was recorded at a woman's front door, but unlike Bertie who told the truth about immigration, Roderic lied to the woman's face, over and over.

Of course he was buying houses for asylum seekers, God knows what else he has been up to that's yet to come out.

We need independent media now more than ever.
In print, radio, TV and online.
There should be more collaboration between the big online Irish voices.
Even just a message or 2 per week to discuss narrative and information sharing.
We need to combat government funded propaganda of MSM and fight back against the blatant racism against white Irish lives.

[TheLiberal.ie @TheLiberal_ie]

This week, two black migrant thugs executed an Irish man who was begging for his life in Blanchardstown.

His hands were in the air begging them to spare his life.

They laughed, jeered and recorded him.

The black migrants then proceeded to beat the Irish man unconscious.

Tragically, he has passed away in hospital.

Not a word for lamestream media because he was white and Irish.
The double standards are sickening.

"I hope migrants take your houses, your wives and your cars. Ireland is one little country on the planet, humble yourselves you little bitches!"

This man is a Jamaican migrant named Andre Buchanan and he's standing beside Irish government Minister Darragh O'Brien. Buchanan has made a number of violent and terrorist threats towards the state and Irish people, including threatening to plant explosives around the country.

He has never been arrested, his threats have never been covered by Irish media and Minister O'Brien has never been asked about why he used a man like this as part of the government's "Housing For All" campaign.

Irishman Graham Carey was found guilty of incitement to hatred last week after suggesting migrants are coming to Ireland to commit crime.

Meanwhile, Andre Buchanan can openly threaten the safety of Irish people and get away scot-free.

Look closely at this image.
You are watching a takeover in real time.

This is Cork City Hall, Ireland.

Islamists are draping a massive foreign flag over the official seat of government, while the actual Irish flag is reduced to a tiny decoration taped to the woodwork.

When you prioritize performative ideology over national sovereignty, you do not just lose your culture. You actively fund its replacement.

Appeasement is cultural suicide.

„Selenskyj will den Krieg nicht beenden. Die Suppe ist gut. All seine Mitarbeiter haben ein Vermögen gemacht. Auf höchster Ebene fließt das Geld in Strömen.“

Juillet spitzt zu, was viele Franzosen denken: Warum schicken wir weiter Milliarden, während bei uns gespart wird und der Krieg nicht endet?

"Covid has to go on for another 10 years so I can get my place in Barbados."

Remember this from 2021?

The Irish gombeen in all his glory, celebrating how much money he's making while enforcing ridiculous government restrictions and firing his staff.

There are gombeens like this all over Ireland, men who will harm their country and people for a few quid.

The exact same thing is happening with immigration and it's widespread. Housing migrants, hiring migrants, prioritising migrants.

Some Irish men will happily sell out their own if the price is right.
