If I lived to be a thousand, I would never understand how ordinary Americans aren't out rioting over their amoral healthcare system
For JD Vance, "fraud" is a rubric used to justify separating middle class people and the poor from basic healthcare coverage. Meanwhile the US government is run by the biggest group of fraudsters in the nation's history.

These are numbers not seen since the 80's.

At least back then rent was affordable and accommodation easy to come by.

There were 166 far-right protests across the UK over the summer

Averaging 10 per week for May to August

Useful report from @hopenothate.org.uk reveals increased normalisation of racist anti-migrant narratives, & blurred lines between far-right & local organising

Summer 2026: Anti-migrant trends in the Far Right
From 1 May - 31 Aug, we recorded 166 far-right protests. That’s an average of 10 per week. What have we learnt from that?

Hard to know what Sheeran thought was going to happen when he booked Macklemore to play in the stadium owned by his Zionist friend, Kraft.

Also hard to know how he could have handled the situation any worse.

Oh, this is a useful set of statistics. You can use it to assess just what sort of numbers of JOBS the Government means when it says we need the data centres in Ireland for the JOBS.

You’d create more employment running a small chain of centras.
The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force.

Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon.

Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.
Oregon data centers by the numbers: 111 facilities consume nearly one-quarter of state’s power, according to new report
A first-of-its-kind report details the footprint of the controversial facilities.

This ridiculous sentence sends out a clear message to the fash that pogroms are a minor offence.
This was a pogrom attack. The South East Antrim UDA, a proscribed terror group were linked to it - yet this man is prosecuted for burglary and damage? This is why pogroms keep happening - because the state downplays loyalist terror.
A 34 year old was just handed a sentence of 4 years (2 custodial, 2 on licence) for breaking into a house during the Ballymena pogroms in 2025. Causing damage to the house, the family hid in the attic in fear for over 5 hours. He was charged with burglary with the intent to cause criminal damage

We've arrived at the physically attacking elected politicians phase. This stuff always ends well.
Gardaí believe Michael Healy Rae was attacked by a single assailant, at a junction in the Coombe at around 4pm as he travelled from Leinster House to Kerry. He was escorted from his by Gardaí to Kevin St station and onward to St Vincent’s University Hospital for treatment. Witness appeal issued.

Robert Kraft turned an issue involving a few hundred thousand Ed Sheerin fans into a global one with Zionism and big-money influence.

The PR equivalent of the Darwin Awards.
September 16, 2026 at 7:15 AM
You'd have to wonder, did Ed Sheerin not have any idea of the people he was going on tour with?

This guy decides what muscians Americans can and can't see
September 15, 2026 at 8:57 PM
I've always despised that insipid, lightweight dross that people like Sheerin produce, so it doesn't surprise that he would bend over for a billionaire Zionist, rather than show moral conviction

It's great to see all the musicians around him, with far more to lose, able to do the right thing!
The Irish musicians, Beoga, who play alongside Ed Sheeran, have withdrawn from Sheeran’s tour.

This is the statement they published on Instagram:
September 15, 2026 at 8:23 PM
Better yet, Sheeran could have just threatened to sue the arse off Kraft for breach of contract and not ended up looking like the complete corporate sellout he is.

Zionist billionaires don't get to decide what music people listen to.
Fans should be demanding refunds. A Macklemore + Dave Matthews tour would go hard
