Joe Biden Out in Apparent Palace Coup Mon Jul 22, 2024 17:30 | Eugyppius
Biden's team was still obliviously tweeting his resolve to fight on hours after he had decided to step down. So was the matter taken out of his hands? It has all the signs of an opportunistic palace coup, says Eugyppius.

Who Will Guard Us Against the Guardian?s ?Fact Checks?? Mon Jul 22, 2024 15:34 | David Craig
The Guardian has published a 'fact check' of Donald Trump's claims about inflation and immigration. Just one problem, says David Craig: the 'fact check' gets its facts wrong. Who will guard us against the Guardian?

The Office of Budget Intractability Mon Jul 22, 2024 11:00 | Andrew Colllingwood
Labour has brought forward a Bill giving the Office of Budget Responsibility a "fiscal lock" over future economic policy. This is one more step in the erosion of parliamentary democracy, says Andrew Collingwood.

No, the CrowdStrike Debacle is Not a Warning of What Could Happen if we Introduce CBDCs Mon Jul 22, 2024 09:00 | Anonymous IT Reporter
The CrowdStrike debacle was not a harbinger of things to come if we introduce CBDCs, argues the Daily Sceptic's IT expert. A U.K. CBDC would be designated as Critical National Infrastructure and hence not be vulnerable.

Approaching Liberty Hall
This march was swarfed by the cannabis march - fiar play to them but whats become of the mayday march?
All that cash and they cant promote what should be the biggest workers celebration day of the year.
I guess theres not much for workers to celebrate bercause of the complete lack of backbone displayed by the unions in general.
Shame.
Half assed and a week late. This about sums up union leadership at the moment if the celebration of May day is anything to go by.
There's an election on. It was a good time for unions to try to engage with people and show them why
unions are needed now more than ever
What did they do on Mayday instead.
They had a concert at 25 euro a ticket. !!
I'm sure all the songs were sung at the concert and in the pubs around after.
The DCTU version of The Internationale was no doubt sung.
"Comrades come gather
And the barman let us face.
While at James Connolly's statue
Of them there was no trace"
To be fair, while agreeing with much of the criticism arising from the size of the 'Mayday' march, the concert at Liberty Hall on May 1st would not have interfered with any march as it was held in the evening.
Peace Team to Continue Praying for Entry into Gaza at Border
RAFAH, Egypt - The six members of a Catholic Worker Peace Team from
California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and Vermont
spent 16 hours today in an unsuccessful effort to convince Egyptian
authorities to allow them to enter Gaza, where physicians at the Al
Shifa Hospital and children at the Rschel Corrie Center are waiting
for them to deliver medical supplies and toys. Starting at about 4 PM,
the group knelt in front of the border crossing and prayed the Rosary
to persuade the officials to allow them to pass. The group continued
periodic prayers until 10 PM, when an Egyptian colonel gave his word
that the group would be allowed to return to the border at 6:30 the
following morning. The group intends to resume praying as soon as they
arrive at the border.
A spokesperson for the group, Mark Colville from New Haven, said, "We
fear that neither the Egyptian nor the US government want
international eyewitnesses to report on humanitarian conditions inside
Gaza. One result of the closure of Gaza's borders is the increase of
suffering and death of Palestinian civilians, as basic necessities are
not allowed through."
A number of Palestinians, including medical professionals thanked the
Catholic Workers for their efforts to open the borders.
Catholic Workers peace team arrives at Palestinian refugee camp

From the article above :
" The team plans to visit two Jewish settlements in Hebron tomorrow and to tour the Israeli separation wall around Jerusalem and Bethlehem. "
WTF are the Catholic Workers doing visiting Settlers in or around Hebron. The most notoriously bigotted and violent settlers of all are located in that area.
What possible good can visiting then bring about ?

So you think they should be left to wallow in ignorance?
