Watching the highly disturbing footage from Washington DC, last night, my mind kept going back to the autumn of 2018. On October 4th, of that year, the US Senate was engaged in a confirmation hearing for now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh of the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh had been accused, you’ll recall, of sexually assaulting a high school […]
Thousands of Trump supporters have breached the perimeter of the US Capitol, with one protestor reportedly shot after entering the building.
The happiest man in America today? Joe Biden. At the time of writing, only one of the two US Senate Elections in the state of Georgia has been officially called, with Democrat Raphael Warnock unseating Republican Senator Kelly Loeffler. The other race, featuring Democrat John Ossoff against Republican Senator David Purdue, has not been officially […]
Normally, when stories about people talking to Aliens from outer space pop up in the news, my approach is to write them off as the ravings of a madman, or madwoman. And in general, that’s not a bad rule. But when the claim that Aliens have been contacting humans for years comes from a retired […]
Some of the outgoing President’s supporters have already taken to calling the various Covid vaccines the “Trump Vaccine”, so happy are they to associate his name with success. In fact, here’s White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany calling it that, just yesterday: "It's the Trump vaccine" pic.twitter.com/MTFff7sQfk — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) December 2, 2020 Regardless […]

Last night, President Trump took to the podium at the White House to claim that the US Election was being stolen from him by voter fraud in several key states. Online, several theories have been floating around as to how this theft might be happening. It is worth, therefore, looking at the evidence for each […]
After four long years in office, each day of which brought some new dramatic declaration of a crisis from the self-styled resistance, Donald Trump went before the American people on Tuesday night and won – at the time of writing – four million more votes than he had in 2016. Republicans were supposed to lose […]
Whilst the pendulum has swung back and forth all night, Joe Biden’s road to 270 electoral votes certainly seems easier at this point, given the figures emerging from Wisconsin and Nevada.
At 11.30pm Irish time, the polls will close in Indiana and Kentucky, and counting will begin in a US Presidential Election that has been ongoing now for 18 months. Joe Biden announced his candidacy for President on April 25th, 2019. Tonight, voters will render a judgement both on him, and on the incumbent President, Donald […]
Living in Ireland is unusual when following US politics. Our national broadcaster and every national publication is sympathetic towards the Democratic Party and it’s rare if ever you hear a flattering opinion of the Republican Party and especially not of the current President of the United States, Donald Trump. I’m not going to come at […]
