Democrats Continue Their Election-Losing Obsession With ?Rescuing? Criminal Migrants Fri Apr 25, 2025 15:00 | Tony Morrison
Do Democrats enjoy losing elections? It seems so as they double down on their obsession with migrant criminals. Witness the clown-world antics this week as a US Senator tries to bring 'home' a deported violent gangster.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4Personally I wouldn't believe a word these old crooks wrote. Maybe in the middle ages people were fooled by their pious act, but today we know then for what they really are.
Wouldn't it be good if these works were sold off to pay back the Irish Taxpayer for the €2,000,000,000 we have had to shell out to pay for Roman Catholic Sex Abuse?
Yes, TWO BILLION EURO, paid by the Irish People on behalf of the Roman Catholic Church, thanks to the Government!!!
Thank you Chris you keep our needs in mind.

The four 'anals', anyway.
The issue of one million euro donation to Louvain Uni in the context of the eviction of Squatti
Dei was not an urgency. The Town of Leuven is familiar and the Irish interests over there are
big +money. The Annals may have comprsied the Tony O Reilly selective memory of the
nobility but everything has it's place in the making of history, and the complete neglect of
the heritage of Tara (for example) is chronicled and safely kept by those with concern. The Poets
story tellers and protestors. there's official history and otherwise.
The Alice Maher is really good btw.
Living artists, musicians and writers are not something money can by and though the visit
of the president was widely publicised here and In Leuven, very few of the Irish community
over there thought to look at why the kids have nowhere to go...
The title of the above article was a bit unfair, because it focussed on the 'Four Masters' and just stuck Maher in
as another exhibition that is ongoing in the Capital. So, in the interest of redressing the balance, I am publishing
a Maher image entitled 'Chaplet'. Its technique escapes me right now, because it is a few years since I saw the image.
Its a three quarter profile, self-portrait of Maher.It evokes Fra Angelico Virgins and is set against a velvety black ground.
There were only three- to five originals and they are quite pricey. However, in an art historical, cultural expression context
they 'evoke' and resonate. One of the things that people talked about today at the IAWM conference was how they do not
recognise the image that our media portrays of them, and how the 'idea' of Iraq and the 'idea' of Palestine is what is
being wiped out- their unique cultural expression and their rich histories. and yet the dignity of the speakers and their
education in the importance of cultural expression is humbling. This is particularly in relation to Mira Dabit who
spoke of going through 12 roadblocks to visit family . The Iraq speaker told us of museums and archaeological
sites devastated by the purveyors of -corporatism- and market and I wonder what in the culture of money they seek to preserve
and pass on, that is so important to Western society. arrogance, destruction and greed?
We seem perfectly willing to bow to the destruction of our heritage and our cultural heart for profit.
Dick Roche who signed the destruction of Tara 24 hours before going to the EU desk to push the Reform Treaty
(aided and abetted by the Green Party and Charlie Mc Greevy in this morning's Irish Times) does not
state what he means by ' Ireland will be left behind' if we do not agree to this treaty.A catalogue of laws that
have eroded and decimated our culture and a lack of investment in Health and Education seems the by-product of FF
coupled with multi-million euro investment in places like Louvain (mentioned at top of article) which is a hard sell
and ignorant of what creates art.
