So only 3% of US conservatives think the American war of independence which was a politically motivated act was justified? So it was a left wing problem for the British that caused them to lose America? The survey was if political violence is ever acceptable.
24% of people who identify as “very liberal” think political violence is acceptable. That number’s only 3% for conservatives. That’s not an American problem—that’s a left-wing problem.

The Pope is exactly right. No society can survive when one man becomes a trillionaire while the vast majority struggle to just survive — trying to put food on the table, pay rent and afford health care. We can and must do better.

The first US-born leader of the Catholic church singled out the Tesla chief as an example of the kind of wealth he said was undermining 'the value of human life, of the family, of the value of society' https://t.co/vZWWA4EimD

Charlie Kirk is wrong here. Leviticus is the book for the priestly tribe of Levi. Priests in ancient Israel came from this tribe and Leviticus tells what conduct they should follow.

Reading some of the reactions, hearing some of the reactions from Trump, Musk and others, hard to avoid the conclusion they either want a civil war, or have literally no regard for the consequences of their words and actions
Deeply disturbing rhetoric is spreading from influential MAGA figures (including the President of the United States and the owner of this website). They have no idea who the shooter is, and many of these same people mocked Democrats when they were victims of political violence in

Ireland needs nuclear power like Finland. Ireland also needs much more renewable energy. NIMBYs who oppose wind farms and cause planning delays or block projects are driving up electricity costs for everyone. Nuclear power and renewables should form the backbone of Ireland’s
If you want cheaper electricity we need Irish nuclear energy. "Irish electricity is more expensive due to a combination of factors, including heavy reliance on natural gas; grid bottle necks, geographic isolation and the absence of nuclear power" @KOSullivanIT

I’ve never seen anything that so perfectly encapsulates how right wingers think more than this video. They have zero consistency of beliefs. No ideology

Piss on the Europeans every chance you get. Side with Russia and Putin over them every chance you get. Create fake grievances with them over imaginary trade barriers. And then ask them to tariff China and India so that America isn’t alone suffering the consequences of his

The U.S. economy is in real trouble — just look at the latest jobs report. With 300+ million people, the U.S. historically added about 150,000 jobs a month, roughly in line with population growth. 1/n

I see some commentary here suggesting that our system for choosing candidates is undemocratic. It may not be ideal (it’s part of our constitution), but our local Councillors who vet potential candidates are all democratically-elected & deeply connected with the communities they
@CilComLFC I hope this won’t disappoint you too much, but a candidate needs to be nominated by 4 local councils & there has been no evidence that even a single council would be prepared to consider nominating him. If he were to make it onto the ballot paper (highly unlikely), I doubt he

I’m not afraid to say the names. Jeffrey Epstein’s cabal of politicians, bureaucrats, and elites who turned a blind eye must be held accountable. This is the product of past administrations, Republican and Democrat, trying to silence victims. They deserve justice. And America

Regardless of our disagreements on the Palestinian issue, this is grossly unfair, dear Gideon. President Macron has secured unprecedented commitments from the Palestinian authority with his initiative. The « pay for slay » has ended on August 1, and an independent audit will
President Macron is very interested in visas to the United States for Palestinian Authority officials. That is what keeps him awake at night. He does not protest against the rampant incitement in the Palestinian education system against Israel and Jews. He also does not object to

The person Mordyus blocked me, claimed I never visited the occupations museum in Vilnius. August 2023, I did the Baltic Way and in each of the capital cities along the way I visited their museums dedicated to their Soviet but also Nazi occupations. I would recommend it to anyone,
