🚨 IRELAND IS RISING UP RIGHT NOW 🇮🇪 Look... at these streets. Thousands of proud Irish men & women marching shoulder-to-shoulder, flags flying high, delivering one clear message: “It’s time to take back our country.” Enough is enough. Uncontrolled immigration. Hotels full of migrants while Irish families are homeless. Skyrocketing rents, crime, and a government that listens to everyone EXCEPT its own people. The Irish spirit is awake and it is UNBREAKABLE. This isn’t just Dublin — it’s spreading across the country. The natives are done being silent. Europe is watching. The West is watching. Share this if you stand with Ireland. 🔥show more

Foreigners coming to Ireland and calling people racist was... the most ridiculous thing I ever heard 20 years ago and it still is today. You travelled to one of the whitest countries on earth and you're shocked that you don't fit in? You left your country, where you were surrounded by your people, to come to a country that everyone on earth knows is a white country. You're not a victim, you're an eejit. The Irish are under no obligation to like foreign strangers, you are owed nothing here. How many Catholic churches are in your village in your home country? How many Irish pubs are there? Are gangs of Irish men hanging around the corners of your towns and cities back in Nigeria and Afghanistan? Are we asking your entire country to tolerate our dietary requirements and tolerate us praying in public? The only reason multiculturalism has been allowed to get this far is because the Irish are tolerant and patient. But that's gone now, our patience has run out and our tolerance has expired. You are owed nothing in Ireland. This is our country. 🇮🇪show more

No one at the NFL level has any idea... what a catch is, especially as it relates to the EZ. How is that control, then two feet down in the EZ isn't a TD? Certainly a new standard if three feet are needed in order to establish a TD. #Ravens #RavensFlockshow more

To fail to do this, he risks leaving a legacy characterised by an unfortunate and tragic lie, that misled the world allowing a global pandemic to unfold, and that also set back scientific progress in combating all airborne pathogens - TB, influenza, measles, RSV, SARS, SARS-CoV-2…show more

RAOUL PAL: BITCOIN IS DEEPLY DISCOUNTED Raoul Pal says... based on global liquidity and how Nasdaq has tracked, #Bitcoin should be closer to $160,000 right now. That gap, in his view, is the liquidity discount $BTC is trading at. He calls this a technical year -- not a demand problem, but a timing one. According to the model, the finish should’ve been much stronger. If liquidity keeps doing what it’s been doing, that gap doesn’t stay open forever.show more

Very nice to be back in Boston, my old... haunt as a graduate student and, two decades later, a professor on the faculty The Fletcher School Tufts University , to participate as a panelist Harvard Kennedy School Harvard CID ‘s #GEM26 on “Reimagining International Development”. The Charles River is as beautiful and calming as ever. The meeting is a two-day event of heavy hitters in global academia, Nobel Laureates, and senior policymakers. I’ll be breaking some tables on this vexed matter of the “international” development of poor countries in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, and South Asia😀 No one in the rich, developed world owes anyone in under-developed countries “development”. We should fix our problems!show more

This is from Shenzhen. The road is full of... homeless people, while China often claims it has provided housing to 100% of its population. So maybe they are just outside enjoying some fresh air. Disclaimer: I am not anti-China. In fact, I admire China's progress and development. This post is only for those ₹2 trolls who constantly mock India by saying China is living in 2070 while India is far behind. China has done remarkably well and transformed many of its cities, no doubt about that. But trolling India is foolish. Travel a few hundred kilometers beyond the major Chinese cities and you will find many underdeveloped areas as well. China is working to reduce those problems, and India is doing the same. There is no need for this endless India vs China comparison. Both countries have their own strengths, challenges, and development journeys. #China #Indiashow more

🇩🇰 🇺🇦Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has issued a... powerful rallying cry to the international community, calling for an immediate and uncompromising surge in military and strategic support for Kyiv to guarantee total victory over the Russian occupation. Speaking forcefully on the imperative of democratic solidarity, Frederiksen emphasized that Western allies must aggressively ramp up their assistance to Ukraine while simultaneously tightening the economic and political stranglehold on Moscow. She made it unequivocally clear that global security hinges on ensuring that the only just and acceptable outcome of this conflict is a decisive, absolute Ukrainian victory. This unwavering stance underscores Copenhagen’s position as one of Ukraine's most proactive and hawkish European allies. By pushing for intensified pressure against the Kremlin, Denmark is signaling to the broader international coalition that there is no room for fatigue or half-measures, and that the West must sustain an ironclad commitment until Russia's war machine is thoroughly defeated on the battlefield.show more

‼️🇺🇸 U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has issued a blunt... correction: the waterway is open, and international shipping will not be held hostage by Iranian threats. As of today, July 12, 2026, the Joint Maritime Information Center (JMIC) is clear—the southern route is available, active, and fully operational. Tehran’s goal is to turn the Strait into a weapon of war, using the threat of blockade to force the world into making "one-sided deals." The U.S. is calling that bluff. By maintaining clear, open corridors and demonstrating the military will to degrade Iran’s strike capabilities, Washington is signaling that the era of Iranian maritime extortion is coming to a violent end.show more
