Trump says his deal leaves way open to Palestinian statehood. Netanyahu now says his regime will forcibly resist this idea. It seems the Palestinian people, after all their unimaginable suffering, may be being led into a trap. I openly weep with fear and despair on what the future holds for them.

I'm not a golf fan by any stretch of the imagination, but i've been dipping in and out to see what the kerfuffle is about. The behaviour of the brain dead MAGA section of the American crowd is despicable, but not surprising given who their messiah is.

The most unsurprising news of the year award goes to...

Dozens of police officers injured at a rally of Nazis, supported by the worlds wealthiest man. The media lead the headlines with the continued sanctification of Charlie Kirk. It is time to wake up and resist.

Fifty years; the push of a button by my wonderful, courageous publishers, New Island and Birlinn, has resulted in a packed diary of international speaking events for 2025 / 2026.

The media and others treating Charlie Kirk like he was the second coming of the messiah, instead of the bile filled, fascist demagogue that he was. The arrest of his alleged killer is being hailed as if they have detained the roman soldiers who crucified Christ.

Nazi Germany had Horst Wessel, MAGA America now has Charlie Kirk, neither of them were exactly shining examples of empathetic humanity, indeed just the opposite, but used as rallying cries for the most regressive, oppressive, chilling ideologies imaginable.

Irish soccer team will not qualify for the World cup, and for that we should be thankful. Embarrassing shambles. The FAI, management, and players, should hang their heads.

Irish international soccer not in a good place at the moment. FAI have absolutely no ambition or drive to improve prospects.

Starmer condemns Israeli terror strike on one hand, and then proceeds to give legitimacy to it by meeting Israeli president.

Israeli regime currently pounding the hell out of what is left of Gaza Little if any of it is being reported in media. Seems they want to help the Genocidists with a news blackout.

David Lammy? Known for the odd dodgy finacial dealing or 3, is set to replace someone who resigned for dodgy finacial dealing. Starmer having a laugh.

Have no time for labour under Starmer, & it is right that Rayner is held up for tax avoidance given her government hammers rest of working people for it, but the gleeful hunt by media who by & large ignore millionaire/ billionaire avoiders like Farage & ilk, smacks of snobbery & political chicanery.

Tomorrow, we are going to expose the full scale of British complicity in genocide. Join us for The Gaza Tribunal. thecorbynproject.com/news/the-gaz...

I'm coming to you, begging for votes ONCE AGAIN! Voting is now open for the An Post Irish Bookshop of the Year. I've been so lucky to be shortlisted this past three years. Can I make it four in a row? Thank you x www.anpost.com/Irish-Booksh...

Seems other SPL managers have got a handle on Brendan Rodgers tactics and style of play.

Get the finger out Celtic.

Celtic playing a gear below rangers at the moment.

Of course he does, because he is a ignorant backwoods idiot.

Over the 2 legs Celtic were shocking. Didn't deserve to go through.

The Israeli regime doing its utmost to eradicate any witnesses to its genocide and satanic behaviour.

Uachtarán na hÉireann has issued a statement on the man made famine imposed by Israel on Gaza. 💀 You will want to have read this. president.ie/en/media-lib...

If your oppressor is an ally of the west, it seems you are doomed, even to the point of extinction. The horrific genocide in Gaza continues unabated, bombs, blockades, and starvation are being used to eradicate the people, and the world does nothing. Shame on this planet, shame on us all.

Trump is a sexual predator, a convicted criminal, a meglamaniac, and a liar. He is also inept and enconomically clueless. He is bereft of morals, and completely lacking in empathy. He is a classic sociopath. He is a danger to society, America, and the World. He should be removed from office.

Emergency Protest: Israel, Stop Killing Journalists! 6pm today at The Spire.

Israeli regime doesn't want any witnesses to its' genocide. It is the most evil regime to exist on this planet in a long time.

A few weeks ago loyalists burned effigies of refugees, had a litany of hate filled displays, and openly showed support for notorious sectarian serial killers, and the police didn't lift a finger. Woman wears a Palestian Action tshirt in Belfast today and is arrested by armed cops. What. A. Farce.

This evening I’m adding more school wishlists to the website! If your school wants one hosted, I’d be happy to help. Buyers get 20% off RRP & every book goes directly to the school. Schools are under pressure, but books must remain a priority. Tag a teacher who may be interested!

What is the point of the UN? It has failed to stop the continuing genocide in Palestine, and it appears helpless to halt the Zionist butcher Netanyahu in his aim to wipe out Gaza. Is there any hope for humanity when the organisation formed to protect it is so pitifully toothless?

The shattered remnants of the army were saved when the English cavalry charged out of Boyle, forcing the Irish back and giving the fugitive troops space to withdraw. Brian O'Rourke cut off Clifford's head and sent it to Red Hugh O'Donnell (who was not present during the battle)

OTD 1599 Conyers Clifford marched from Boyle to relieve Collooney Castle. Engaged in the Curlew Pass north of Boyle. He overran the Irish barricades, but the vanguard was shattered in a firefight. They panicked & fled, breaking the rest of the army. Clifford slain during the rout #nineyearswar

Starmer says he will recognise Palestine 'unless' the Israeli regime allow aid through. What the hell? Palestinian statehood is an inalienable right. As is the right to life, food, water, and shelter. None of these things are bargaining chips to be used so Starmer can claim he is doing something.

'Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done'..

I was rooting for Donegal, but Kerry have been outstanding and will be deserved winners, their movement, skill, and score taking has been something else.

Everytime Kerry get the ball they work a score out of it. When Donegal have they seem unsure what to with it. Atmosphere very subdued for an all Ireland final.

Kerry playing with real purpose, Donegal seem nervous.

Kerry off to a flyer. #GAA #AllIreland

Mon Dún na nGall. #GAA #AllIreland

Still beyond belief that once again this year voters in the North will be excluded from the Irish Presidential election. A shared island, apparently.

Not content with blowing children to bits and burning them alive, Israeli regime is now starving them to death. This is an horrific genocide. UK and EU need to stop it with the weasel words and half arsed condemnation, stop arming or supporting these monsters and take urgent and strong action NOW.

They shouldn't just be running of patience (as if the Israeli regime was just a naughty child), they should be issuing sanctions, stop supplying weapons, and calling for the immediate arrest of the Israeli political and military leadership for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Cork have blitzed their way through the season, were firm favourites to win AI. Nobody really gave Tipp a chance, they went in at end of first half behind by 6 pts, most people thought it was done, to come out 15 pt winners is an absolutely stunning result. Hurling, Ireland's national treasure.

17 pt turnaround in an all Ireland hurling final, from the underdogs no less, is some going. #GAA #Hurling #AllIreland

Darragh McCarthy, 19 years of age and all ready a hurling legend. #GAA #Hurling #AllIreland

People are getting killed trying to get food. 877 people have died and 5666 were injured in #Gaza trying to get food in recent weeks.

The orange order routinely attend events honouring the most gruesome sectarian serial killers imaginable, indeed some are/were members of that organisation. But it seems they find it hard to stomach young folk playing sports together.

A smell pervades Belfast today, but not the smell from last night's fires, but of ambre solaire and roast lobster (better known as burning Irish skin)..almost tropical.

Pensioners arrested for protesting the genocide in Gaza. Members of kneecap charged under 'anti-terrorism' legislation for shouting anti-Zionist slogans, Palestine action banned for spray painting. Meanwhile loyalism in north of Ireland with blatant and threatening racist and sectarian displays...

Is it just peaceful, non health threatening, non environmentally destructive, anti Israeli genocide protests that the PSNI are keen to suppress? Blatant racist and sectarian behaviour and displays, dangerous illegal fires etc. are met with twiddling of thumbs, shrugs, and shirking of responsibility.
