Shakespeare is the key to understanding Trump, says Prof James Alexander. Trump is not system-politics, is not deep-state politics. Trump is court politics. And Shakespeare is our guide to the flamboyance of the court.

Whatever is going on in Los Angeles, Western media want you to know that it is peaceful, okay? And any violence is due to unjustified escalation by the evil dictator in the White House. It's definitely not a riot.

Michael D first to call for hare coursing ban

category international | animal rights | opinion/analysis author Monday October 31, 2011 17:32author by Protect our Hares Report this post to the editors

Michael D Higgins, our new President, was the first member of Ireland's parliament to push for a ban on live hare coursing

Hares in their natural habitat...Michael D tried to have them protected by law

Our poet-president Michael D Higgins, has beena life long champion of Ireland's wildlife heritage. Wehn the Senate was debating the Wildlife Bill in 1975, he tried tro have an amendment included to outlaw hare coursing...and among those who backed him were Mary Robinson, another future President of Ireland...and Dr. Noel Browne, an Irish political hero who had stood up to the might of Catholic Church when it intervened to prevent his Mother and Child Bill from ever seeing the light of day.

Though Michael D's anti-hare coursing amendment failed, the campaign he helped to initiate continues.

That figures. Any decent principled politician would be opposed to the shameful so-called sport of hare coursing. I look forward to the next push in the Dail against this state sponsored cruelty to animals.

A couple of days before the Electon I saw a comment suggesting  that Michael D refused to say whether he would

continue to be an outspoken supporter of the people of Erris in their battle against Shell.  Anyone want to cast any light on

 this?  An Taisce were quick to discard us once they'd used us to further their own agenda.   Surely M.D.H is made of

sterner stuff?
