Regardless of our disagreements on the Palestinian issue, this is grossly unfair, dear Gideon. President Macron has secured unprecedented commitments from the Palestinian authority with his initiative. The « pay for slay » has ended on August 1, and an independent audit will

I’m not afraid to say the names. Jeffrey Epstein’s cabal of politicians, bureaucrats, and elites who turned a blind eye must be held accountable. This is the product of past administrations, Republican and Democrat, trying to silence victims. They deserve justice. And America

I see some commentary here suggesting that our system for choosing candidates is undemocratic. It may not be ideal (it’s part of our constitution), but our local Councillors who vet potential candidates are all democratically-elected & deeply connected with the communities they

I’ve never seen anything that so perfectly encapsulates how right wingers think more than this video. They have zero consistency of beliefs. No ideology

Piss on the Europeans every chance you get. Side with Russia and Putin over them every chance you get. Create fake grievances with them over imaginary trade barriers. And then ask them to tariff China and India so that America isn’t alone suffering the consequences of his

Ireland needs nuclear power like Finland. Ireland also needs much more renewable energy. NIMBYs who oppose wind farms and cause planning delays or block projects are driving up electricity costs for everyone. Nuclear power and renewables should form the backbone of Ireland’s

Reading some of the reactions, hearing some of the reactions from Trump, Musk and others, hard to avoid the conclusion they either want a civil war, or have literally no regard for the consequences of their words and actions

Charlie Kirk is wrong here. Leviticus is the book for the priestly tribe of Levi. Priests in ancient Israel came from this tribe and Leviticus tells what conduct they should follow.

The Pope is exactly right. No society can survive when one man becomes a trillionaire while the vast majority struggle to just survive — trying to put food on the table, pay rent and afford health care. We can and must do better.

US tariffs will not turn the US into a manufacturing hub. China through its Belt and Road Initiative which brings cooperation will continue to expand the markets for China. In contrast the blanket tariffs of Trump will lead to trade diversion away from the US. A report in
