A Garda was injured and 13 people were arrested following a night of unrest on Wednesday outside a site in Dublin earmarked to house asylum seekers, just one day after anti-refugee protesters "impeded" efforts to bring International Protection Applicants there. The
centre on Ballyogan Road, around 12 kilometres south of the capital, was the scene of a shocking display on Tuesday evening, when people gathered outside the site stopped a bus carrying asylum seekers from entering the facility where they would be safely housed. Following the horrific unrest on Tuesday, a further standoff ensued between Gardaí and people in attendance...

Mike Schmidt destroyed Portland and the left is willing to re-elect him (defeated last night!)
|

New York Post ^
| 5/16/24 | Andy Ngo
Mike Schmidt, the leftist prosecutor in Portland, Ore., is asking voters to give him the opportunity to serve four more years as head of the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office. In an interview with local media last October, he graded himself an “A” for his performance. But
if the past four years of record homicides, decriminalized antifa rioting and surging street overdoses represent Schmidt as his best, Portland may not survive another four years with him at the helm. Schmidt’s re-election is being challenged by his subordinate, Nathan Vasquez, a senior deputy district attorney and moderate candidate who promises to...

It’s a hallmark of totalitarian regimes. Aleksandr
Solzhenitsyn wrote about it in his monumental exploration of the nightmare of totalitarianism, “The Gulag Archipelago”: “The sharp nighttime ring or the rude knock at the door. The insolent entrance of the unwiped jackboots of the unsleeping State Security operatives.” The left has now adopted this tactic in the United States, not for arrests (yet), but to frighten its foes into submission.The Jerusalem Post recently reported that “anti-Israel masked men arrived at the homes of University of Michigan Board of Regents members before dawn on Wednesday to protest and demand the adoption of...

FOX News radio host and comedian Jimmy Faila released a must see video on Joe Biden’s presidency titled “Keep Falling.” The video is credited to “Joe Biden and the Alzheimers” band and produced by “C’Mon Man Records” exposes the Socialist-Democrats attempting to push this failed candidate who can’t find his way off
a stage and can’t finish a sentence for US president. The left may attempt to steal another election with this confused serial liar but the American public will no longer be fooled or threatened into silence. Let the mockery of this bonehead begin! Here are the lyrics. He’s...

'Let's blow up this black music!': The ugliness and unrest of 1979's Disco Demolition Night (mild barf alert)

| July 11, 2019 | Lyndsey Parker
Forty years ago, on July 12, 1979, what was supposed to be a wacky promotional stunt by shock-rock DJ Steve Dahl to sell tickets to a double-header White Sox baseball game at Chicago’s Comiskey Park turned ugly — when piles of vinyl records, many by artists of color, were destroyed as thousands
of anti-disco rioters, 39 of whom were eventually arrested for disorderly conduct, stormed the field. Dahl has always vehemently denied that 98.7FM WLUP’s infamous “Disco Demolition Night” had any racist or homophobic undertones or intentions, arguing that “annexing this event to today’s advocacy is lazy academically and inappropriate...

Arizona rancher George Kelly, 75, sat down for an exclusive interview with NewsNation’s Ali Bradley after state prosecutors decided not to retry his murder case. George
Kelly told Ali Bradley he and his wife lost their life savings fighting the lawfare murder trial. “I don’t feel that I was treated fairly in the investigation,” George Kelly told NewsNation in an interview. “I think I was arrested without cause, without probable cause.” “You can’t put somebody in a situation and try to tell them, ‘oh you’ll be fine here.’ No you won’t be fine here…” George Kelly told Ali Bradley.

President Biden on Thursday addressed the intensifying pro-Palestinian protests at American colleges, telling reporters that "dissent is essential for democracy" but that "dissent must never lead to disorder.""There's the right to protest but not the right to cause chaos," Biden said of the protests, which have seen more than 2,000 arrests nationwide.
His remarks at the White House were the first since April 22, when he made brief comments to reporters.“In moments like this, there are always those who rush in to score political points. But this isn’t a moment for politics. It’s a moment for clarity. So let me...

Sweden kicks off for spring with a traditional night of songs and bonfires on April 30. Walpurgis
Night, “Valborg” in Swedish, is the last day of April, spent in celebration of spring and community spirit. Dating back to the Middle Ages, it was initially the Germans who brought the festive tradition to Sweden, in honour of the 8th century German saint, Walpurgis. In medieval times, April 30 marked the end of the administrative year; local merchants and craftsmen celebrated by dancing and singing in anticipation of spring. It was also a significant day for peasants and farmers, who attended the...

Plato's final hours 'revealed': Ancient scroll buried by Mount Vesuvius claims the Greek philosopher spent his last night listening to music - and blasting the slave-girl flautist's 'lack of rhythm

The papyrus had been buried under metres of ash at the house, believed to have belonged to Julius Caesar’s father-in-law, after Vesuvius erupted in AD79 and scholars have spent the last 250 years painstakingly trying to find a way to read its contents, The Times reports. Now
Professor Graziano Ranocchia of the University of Pisa and his colleagues have used techniques, including shortwave infrared hyperspectral imaging, which picks up variations in the way light bounces off the black ink on the papyrus, to decipher the document. Professor Ranocchia described the scroll as 'the oldest history of Greek philosophy in our...

On the first night of Passover, the singsong of the Four Questions echoed from Jewish homes and gatherings around the world, including from unlikely, contested spaces: the center of pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia and other universities where demonstrations are taking place. As
evening fell over Columbia’s tent encampment on Monday, about 100 students and faculty gathered in a circle around a blue tarp heaped with boxes of matzo and food they had prepared in a kosher kitchen. Some students wore kaffiyehs, the traditional Palestinian scarf, while others wore Jewish skullcaps. They distributed handmade Haggadahs — prayer books for the Passover...

‘Saturday Night Live’ mocks 1864 Arizona pro-life law… but guess what else passed in 1864?

“Saturday Night Live” joked about abortion last weekend during its “Weekend Update” segment, focusing the ‘joke’ specifically on Arizona’s recent state Supreme Court decision to allow a longstanding pro-life law, put in place in 1864 to go into effect. “Reinstating
laws from 1864 isn’t the worst thing for me, because I’m a white landowner,” co-host Colin Jost said. “And a proud Freemason.” Jost, who is white, and co-host Michael Che, who is Black, have a running racism joke between them with Che often joking that Jost is racist. “But it’s probably not great to adopt healthcare rules from a time...

win Wisconsin Pennsylvania and Michigan as the voters are all similar. He made it sound statistically baked in as a rule that could generally be counted on. Imagine applying that statement to Ohio and Iowa in 2020. If anyone can find the clip I think it would be...

Ukrainian Troops Staged A Daring Three-Night Raid To Steal A Russian Tank Fitted With A New Drone-Jammer

Forbes ^
| 17/4/24 | David Axe
..... Today these drones—hundreds of thousands of them—are the most important systems in the Ukrainian inventory. This
means tactical radio jammers, which can block the signals operators use to control their drones, are the most important systems in the Russian inventory. So when Russian tanks began rolling toward the front line with a giant new jammer—actually, clusters of multiple jammers—in recent weeks, Ukrainian drone operators were interested. Very interested. If the new jammers worked, the Ukrainian operators would need to develop countermeasures. Their chance to find out came earlier this month, when a Russian T-72 festooned with jammers ran over...
