Credit where its due. But funding of groups that can even comprehend such ideas, needs to be questioned

As the Dáil debates removing the triple lock on overseas troop deployments, Lord Martin of Cork South-Central offers the nation some reassurance:
RightTurnClyde 🐄 #proudtofarm retweeted
GOVT MISINFORMATION ALERT - If Ireland deploys DF to proposed ‘EU Support Mission’ to Lebanon without Triple Lock -It will NOT be a Blue Helmet Peacekeeping Mission -It will be an EU (Von Der Leyen ‘We Stand With Israel’) Peace Enforcement Mission to Disarm Hezbollah -A CIVIL WAR
Similar to Trump's tariffs so.... ffs

En France, on a inventé le Concorde.
En 1969, il décollait et atteignait Mach 2 symbole de la grandeur gaullienne, conçu pour défier les Américains.
En 1972, le TGV 001 battait le record mondial à turbine (318 km/h).
En 1981, le TGV électrique reliait Paris à Lyon à 260 km/h. En 2007, il pulvérisait encore le record mondial sur rail : 574,8 km/h.
Dans les années 70, le plan Messmer lançait le plus grand programme nucléaire civil de l’Histoire : 58 réacteurs, jusqu’à 70-80 % de notre électricité, une indépendance énergétique que le monde entier nous enviait.
Dassault, Sud-Aviation, EDF, Framatome, la SNCF : nos ingénieurs étaient les meilleurs. On avait dix à vingt ans d’avance sur presque tout le monde.
Puis 1981, Mitterrand. Nationalisations massives (banques, acier, chimie, électronique, aéronautique). Semaine de 39 heures. Lois Auroux. Charges sociales qui explosent. Syndicats tout-puissants. Fiscalité punitive. Droit du travail rigidifié.
En moins de cinquante ans, le socialisme a transformé un pays d’ingénieurs conquérants en un pays de grèves, de délocalisations et de stagnation relative.
L’industrie est passée d’environ 28 % du PIB à 11 %.
Le Concorde a été abandonné. Notre nucléaire a été presque démantelé pendant des décennies faute de choix politique mortifère.
Ce n’est pas le destin, c’est le prix d’une idéologie qui a préféré redistribuer et réglementer plutôt que construire et innover.
A bon entendeur.
Only rte could make this about cows ffs
A major oil well blowout in Niger has been releasing methane into the atmosphere at such a rate that its climate impact so far could be equivalent to cancelling out approximately 40% of the cut in Ireland's greenhouse gas emissions last year rte.ie/news/2026/1014/159540…

The actual facts about SpaceX in Ukraine:
- SpaceX is a private company with zero obligation to help Ukraine, yet it stepped up when governments dragged their feet.
- Starlink and Starshield are not the same. Starshield is under U.S. government control. That is who made last night’s call.
- Ukraine accounts for only a micro fraction of SpaceX’s revenue, while the company bears the risks of operating amid Russian attacks and geopolitical pressure. The financial return hardly justifies the exposure. SpaceX helps because it chooses to. Starshield access, meanwhile, is up to the US government.
- SpaceX has every right to set limits on how its technology is used. They own it and bear consequences for it. This is while they actively collaborate to take down Russian access to Starlink that threatens to collapse Ukraine.
- Throwing tantrums over not getting all your demands, including offensive use, or simply because Elon disagrees with you, while SpaceX risks its assets to help, says plenty about your character.
- Demanding a company be nationalized so you can just take its product is the loudest confession that you cannot build anything. You can only steal.
- Europeans should try to build their own. As a space fan, I'd celebrate it.
- I don't care about the politics. But attacking the company that stepped up when it had no obligation to help is pathetic.
The truth is, without Starlink saving Ukrainian communication in the early days, their reality would have severly looked very different today, and they should be grateful.

EU increasingly reminds me of Mao's China. There were endless condemnations about the evil leadership of the US and USSR， to divert people's attention away from the obvious domestic policy failures， like the disastrous great leap forward and Cultural Revolution.
EU has so many problems of its own. None of it is caused or exacerbated by Trump. Yet the media and the elites endlessly drum up Trump derangement syndrome so EU public don't realize their own leadership is so much worse than Trump.
What a disgrace. A gold-plated, naked Donald Trump on a starving man’s back, branded “The Orange Plague,” is on show in the European Parliament in Strasbourg under the guise of “art”. The people who lecture the world on dignity can’t even manage basic respect for the president of a friendly nation. @realDonaldTrump @WhiteHouse
