Speaking to Portlaoise County Council personnel during his tenure as President of the European Parliament, Pat Cox lauded the EU’s commitment to liberal democracy and its institutions. By contrast, he described in graphic terms the charade that was China’s National Peoples’ Congress. It was, he observed, a bloated assembly of ‘yacking donkeys’ whose brays might be heard […]

Tonight RTÉ, the publicly-funded broadcaster, will celebrate the repeal of the right to life of helpless preborn babies and cheer along with the ghouls in Dublin Castle who did conga lines in delight at abortion. That’s not how they’re selling it obviously. A ‘abortion movie night’ might not get as many views. Instead they’re using all […]
Perhaps An Taoiseach Micheál Martin now understands what Groucho Marx meant when he said that he would not want to be a member of a club that would have him as a member. I am thinking here in the context of a dinner reportedly hosted by for former Minister, now newly appointed Special Envoy for […]
If you go on to the HSE’s information page about abortion services in Ireland, and into the section advising people about what to expect after an abortion, one of the first lines you will read advises you that “around 2 or 3 out of every 100 people who have an abortion at less than 9 […]
As always, it is useful to begin these stories by noting what Michael Osterholm, senior Covid advisor to President Biden, and expert in infectious diseases, is not saying in the clip below. He is not saying that all facemasks are useless. Nor is he saying that we should all stop wearing them. What he is […]
A new investigation has questioned the Covid-19 origin story as it was presented by China and retailed by most of the world’s scientific, media and state authorities. Its publication comes as reports from China point to another apparent wave of infections from the Delta variant. The report released by the ranking Republican member of the […]
Today, RTÉ published an article revealing that almost 5 million babies will be aborted worldwide in the next decade simply because they are girls. Except the publicly-funded broadcaster did everything it could to avoid using the word abortion, since, in the groupthink that prevails in the Irish media, abortion is always a social good. The fact […]
The protocols and safeguards for dealing with the challenge of Covid-19 should apply fairly across all sectors of society. There should be logic, coherence and consistency in both their formulation and application. That should be obvious but of course prejudice blinds and leads to anomalies and the singling out of certain groups for specified additional […]
The American Medical Association is not some sort of pound-shop outfit. If you have never heard of it, then know this: It is the largest association of doctors and medical practitioners in the United States. It has almost a quarter of a million members, and annual revenue of about $350million. For decades, it has been […]
This is one of those stories that functions as an almost perfect Rorschach test: If you side with Donnelly here, chances are you’re not a fan of the church and would cheer almost anything said about them. Because there is literally no other reason to indulge this nonsense: “When you’re dealing with a deadly virus, […]
Another study has shown that immunity to Covid in those who have been infected and recovered is long-lasting, “broad and effective” – raising questions about the Irish government’s decision to limit recovery certificates to just six months after being tested positive for the virus. A new paper published as a preprint in the scientific journal Cell found […]
