This is a developing story. Tensions between the United Kingdom and South Africa have risen since the resignation of the UK’s Permanent Under Secretary for the Foreign Office. 22:50 South Africa’s Governor-General told NewsNow that the United Kingdom “can’t treat their people right” and “don’t treat Commonwealth nations with respect”. He accused the British government of avoiding discussions with South Africa and said that Ireland “asked for peace talks just to cause them to flop”. This comes after the resignation of now former top UK Civil Servant, shei1kh, which FCO advisers supposedly reque ..read more

On Sunday evening, officials from the Irish and Northern Irish governments commemorated the Christmas Rising at Parnell Square in Dublin. The ceremony was attended by the President and Taoiseach of Ireland along with the First Minister of Northern Ireland. The crowd was packed with prominent politicians, servicemen and women, and regular civilians seeking to remember the sullen day and the efforts that have been made to prevent another atrocity like 2/12. A surprising figure who was also in attendance was the Archbishop of Dublin, leading a powerful prayer at the commemoration. Despite the si ..read more

Last night’s unexpected resignation from the Taoiseach sent shockwaves around the country, and most importantly in the Social Democrats. Let’s take a look at who may succeed the 80% approved Taoiseach as leader of the Social Democrats. Nobody saw the resignation coming last night. With his referendum paying off, the Taoiseach seemed certain on a path to a resounding victory in the next election. It was almost as if he had experienced David Cameron’s dream of winning the referendum and staying on to lead the country for another while. Yet, things went a little differently for Streibl. Despite h ..read more

PETA – People for the Ethical Treatment of Animal, now has a billboard of Kushner next to a rat.   As you can see in the photo, Kushner is a “rich pest” or slumlord if you are House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, sitting on a pile of cash while a rat is next to him is holding a crumb with a caption that reads “Poor guy just trying to survive ..read more

Photo Snopes.com When you follow the news as much as I do, you notice a pattern with Republicans that leads to only one conclusion: they get together and discuss talking points to be on the same page. Over and over again, I see an interview of a Republican and minutes later, another Republican is saying verbatim what the other just said. So, either Republicans watch each other in media interviews or, memos are circulated saying this is what you will say. Now, a leaked memo from House Republicans shows that the GOP only cares about winning votes regardless of how many lives are lost ..read more

Scott Olson/Getty Images It takes a special kind of asshole to say “womp womp” when told about news reports that a ten year child with Down’s Syndrome was separated from her mother for crossing the border. But, that is Corey Lewandowski for you. But as I keep talking about, political karma is knocking on everyone’s door these days. Lewandowski was President Trump’s former campaign manager who has lofty dreams of running for Senate now that he couldn’t hook up with Hope Hicks. As Lewandowski was set to attend a cult rally with President Trump in New Hampshire where he was expec ..read more

Luckily for us, President Trump only hires the best. The best at what, I have no idea. Why the conference? Because poor Flynn needs money to help pay his lawyers. I always love how rich people commit crimes and then want others to pay for it. It’s the American f-ing way!
