  1. Higgins the Irish president has said he is attending a Holocaust remembrance event in Ireland because he has always opposed Antisemitism. It is organised by Holocaust Remembrance Ireland. Why does that organisation not make clear he’s not welcome and is hateful to Jewish memory?

    I am editing this comment currently, so it is working for me. I also edited a comment I made to Adam yesterday.

    So I think it might just be you.

    You might try restarting your computer, and clear cookies, cache and history to see if that resolves the matter.

    Thanks for your very informative comment about the Royal Family but there is such a thing as diplomatic protocol, or whatever the term is where if one country states its right and intent to annex a large country which happens to be a part of someone else’s commonwealth, that other country should at least make some noise in response, unless that other country whose commonwealth it is in agreement with the annexation idea.

  19. The response of the Republican Party to this means they can never be trusted ever again. It clearly is a change in climate. Little rain. A sizzling sun beating down. Multiply the firefighter numbers … They still would be helpless in the face of Global Warming.

    Your claim that the California fires were planned is a conspiracy theory in that it leaves out the earth heating up rapidly as a result of the addition of greenhouse gases to earth atmosphere. Large corporations have done this dreadful thing

    (This article which covers many aspects of the tragedy is at least a beginning)

    Many people are telling lies about this tragedy.

    The key issue which reactionary and deeply politicised fools are deliberately ignoring is that water in the water system has until now been totally devoted to normal needs. But we are moving into a world which is not normal and is totally different from anything humans have ever experienced – a planet which is heating fast, due to the warming effect on the earth’s atmosphere of greenhouse gases, and caused by the burning of fossil fuels, which is the reality attested to by 99.99 per cent of scientists working in climate science.

    It thus in a deeper sense has become a matter of how people perceive our world, do we see the world scientifically or do we subjectively impose our lies onto reality

  22. READER-

    To answer another post you made, The British Royal Family is like a mass automaton. They never get original ideas. They are Royal merely in name, and have no power, especially Charlie, who is slightly mentally “challenged” They are like actors, have set “duties” to perform-like trained seals-set answers for most questions, set speeches and smiles for all eventualities just changing names and localities to suit.

    Charlie likely doesn’t even know that the UK once had Colonies in Nth America, unless told by a “keeper”.,,,disguised as an “aide”.

    The whole family is off it’s beam. They suffer from a hereditary disease called Porphyria.

    It is this which caused George 3rd’s series of mental problems, and eventual having his dissolute son rule for many years as the infamous Prince Regent.

    Beau Brummel the arbiter of fashion was at his height then. He and the Regent were like brothers, but eventually fell out. I particularly liked Brummel’s query to an acquaintance “who’s your fat friend”…?? Always caustically brilliant.

    It resulted in his downfall and banishment to a poverty laden death in Paris..

  25. READER-

    Sorry to disagree with you especially after such a nice Birthday Greeting…..but…..The US and the UK were NEVER one country.

    In the interests of accuracy, and historical fact, The British only had a certain number of individual Colonies scattered IN Nth. America long before the US became a reality. Only along the East coast.

    Nothing was known about the inland areas….except by Louis Lamour-of course….!!

    Sorry.

  27. Canada, as far as I know, belongs to the British Commonwealth.

    It sure beats some lousy Sudetenland, though!

    I find it really strange that the British Royal Family pays no attention to this rather unusual discussion (I don’t mean Israpundit).

    Maybe they find it beneath themselves to do so.

    Wouldn’t it be interesting if the US and UK decided to become one country again?

    Of course, some details will need to be worked out like taxation with representation only and such, and what to do with the Royal Family… do NOT consult the French on this issue!

  29. @Laura

    we need to take it by force from them

    Indeed? Amusing to see we agree on this,et, Russia should not have used force in response to Western assets wielding Ukraine as its own anti-Russian proxy force?

  34. Thank you READER. A daughter came over with her young children who love me., Brought me gifts and she even cooked a whole load of meals for me to keep in the freezer.

    This was very nice as I hate HATE cooking.
    So all in all the best birthday I’ve had in years.

    Thank you for sharing this. Korpe has been pursuing his research for some time now – I first read of his work twenty or more years ago. To be honest, I am not entirely convinced of his conclusions based on the tactical aspects of the territory in question, but the proof will be in the proving, ie he will need to excavate the territory on in question to see if the archaeological evidence will support the conclusions of his extensive research.

  39. Thank you all, Michael, Peloni, Seb, an others who are thinking of sending me a greeting but are too lazy. I take them as given.

    Trump doesn’t need our congratulations but our support, which I for one freely give.

  43. SEB-

    Thank you indeed for your kind wishes. As for the rest of your posts, well up to your usual facetious standard.
    A sense og humour is a wonderful attribute, alas lacking in some of our friends here. They don’t know what they’re missing.

    As for Carter, pish I say. I had a favourite Carter but it was Carter Dodds the Essex cricketer of long ago.

  45. @Edgar Happy Birthday, Edgar. A pat (or paddy?) on the back for you. Just a little bit of sage birthday advice from somebody who has been there. Don’t vote for Carter. 😀

  46. JUST-

    to give you folks some REAL news other than your fruitless chasing your tails, “revealing” items already in print, AND the contortions of patting your own and one another’s backs,

    TODAY is my Birthday…..my Umpthy-Umpth………………….!!.

  47. Citing unnamed sources, Canadian news outlet Globe and Mail is now reporting that Canada’s embattled Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, is now expected to announce his resignation as the head of the Liberal Party as early as Monday…

    Yes, Natasha is a superstar! She appeared at that event with Son of Hamas. It was an electric event, and the opposition tried to get Son of Hamas ejected from the event. As I say, it was an electric event.
