Trump and the Irish

Original Article

Posted By: Magnante, 6/8/2019 9:24:18 AM

As an Irishman, I’m embarrassed at the treatment of the President of the United States on his recent visit to Ireland. His shabby reception in Ireland contrasts sharply with the red carpet treatment in London. Media reports that the Leo Varadkar (the Irish Prime Minister/Taoiseach) refused to meet at the Trump resort at Doonbeg. The hostile media is having a field day with this. (snip) Let me let you in on a secret -- the Irish are “taking the U.S. for a ride.” While they are glad to take U.S. dollars, they are willing to give little in return. Indeed many are happy to stab America in the back

Trump wanted to meet at his golf club, the minor functionary insisted on meeting at the airport? And he got his way. Anyone else have a hard time swallowing this?

Recently spent 10 days in Ireland. They can keep the whole island and their inedible Irish stew. The only nice part was Northern Ireland.Horrible breakfast too!

The Irish are irritable on D-Day anniversarys. They sided with Hitler when the chips were down. Something about the enemy of my enemy is my friend, I think. They don't like to be reminded that they were on the wrong side of history on that historic day.

Apparently, among other things about the Irish Prime Minister, is he isn't very smart. Anyone who knows anything about President Trump, knows he doesn't take kindly to being mistreated while visiting a foreign country. If we are sending Ireland tons of money, look for that to be cut off in the near future! Trump ALWAYS comes out on top in these kinds of matters!

During the bygone years of massive Irish immigration to the USA the Irish immigrants, whose religion trumped all other issues, were educated that the Democrat Party was the political party of Catholics and that the Republican Party was the political party of Protestants. With many Irish people that’s the way it remains today. During the Second World War, the socialist Irish Government referred to that war as being “The Emergency” and officially refused to side with the Allies. During that war many Irishmen went across to England, and as has been traditional in Ireland, joined the British Armed Forces, after the war and until recently those veterans were very shabbily treated by the Irish Government. I heard that many times as I was growing up, as my mother was born in Ireland to a US citizen father and an Irish citizen mother. Her first cousin, a Catholic Priest, rose up to be the Principal Catholic Chaplain to the British Army, served in France in 1940, was at Dunkirk, served all through the North African campaign with the British 7th Armored Division known as the desert rats, and took part in the invasions of Sicily and Italy where he was seriously wounded. It appears that the current socialist Irish Government, in keeping with European Union (EU) policies, is planning on opening Ireland’s borders to hundreds of thousands of “refugees” from Africa and the Middle East, most of them Muslims. With Ireland being a small country of less than 5 million people, such open immigration into Ireland of what will be only the first tranche of unlimited numbers of such “refugees”, is bound to have a profound affect on the future demographic and social composition of Ireland in the future. I’m just glad that my mother decided to come to the USA.

My husband is from Ireland and his family there are all Trump supporters. They were disgusted with the disrespect shown by the Irish government to our President. However, the media hasn't been talking about what happened in Doonbeg, where Trump and his family are beloved. Eric and Don Jr are very popular because they enjoy going on a pub crawl in the town when they are visiting, and buy rounds for everyone, even though neither of them imbibe. At one point during his visit the local school brought a group of students to greet the President and he went over to speak and greet them to their great excitement. They love him in Doonbeg, and in a lot of towns outside Dublin. Their situation is much like mine was when I lived in California. The big cities run everything and the smaller rural areas suffer.

Ireland's proud accomplishment over the last few years consists of finding ever more thoroughgoing ways to reject their Christian identity, dishonor their parents and grandparents, contracept their partnering, divorce their spouses, bugger their brothers and abort their children --- thus breaking faith at every level, humanly speaking, and achieving a corresponding level of moral, social and spiritual disintegration. Ireland used to be justly called the "Island of Saints and Scholars." Now they look on their own decomposition with pride. Pride with a capital "P". May Divine Mercy --- somehow --- restore them. Us, too.

When to Ireland once, for five days. Never go back. I thought the people were rude, dishonest, and in general behavior like grifters. The "highlight" was when I was nearly killed when my rental car literally had its steering wheel come off in my hands, and the car went off the road, down into a ditch. When I called the company for assistance, they told me to drive back to Dublin if I wanted to get another car.

Why the Left Hates Cuomo 10 replies

Conservatives are happily gloating over the fact that Andrew Cuomo is at, or rapidly approaching, his nadir. (snip) Cuomo's pandering has always been coarse, heavy-handed, and insincere. Though he is hardly a closet conservative, and probably genuinely supports these policies, it has always been obvious that Cuomo manipulated leftist identity groups so that they would have no alternative but to vote for him and make him governor-for-life. (Indeed, until only a few weeks ago, Cuomo seemed to be a shoo-in for a fourth term). Eventually, though, it became clear that the leftist identity-politics groups were getting tired of getting the pimp hand from Cuomo

Meghan Markle, it seems, isn't much of a scholar. While much of the focus has been on her barbs accusing the British royal family of abnormal interest in her baby's skin color and denying him a title and personal security protection supposedly because he is black and they are racists, what's striking to me is how unprepared she was for the royal role she sought when she married Prince Harry. And not just ignorant, but willfully ignorant, proud of her ignorance, flippantly stating she never did "any research," as if that's something to be proud of.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.

It is an ironic twist of history that two American women should have been the cause of political crises in Britain and led to concern that they might affect the powers and even the very existence of the monarchy.

The relentless campaign to demonize supporters of President Trump entered the realm of self-parody this past week, with warnings that the US Capitol and democracy itself were in danger on March 4 because QAnon saw that date as the real inauguration day.

The U.S. Economy Is Rigged 13 replies

Though the populist tide seems to have ebbed, it will rise again, and soon. The problem that ignited populist sentiment in the first place, whether on the left or the right, remains: the country’s economic and financial system has failed much of the population and is rigged to the benefit of a government-business elite. Resistance to this inequity elevated Trump and pulled the Democratic Party to the left and will continue to roil American politics until things change. The economy’s “rigging” has developed gradually over time and often from the best of intentions.

No, conference goers didn't gather to spread conspiracy theories. No, they didn't bow down to a golden statue of Trump. And no, the stage wasn't designed to pay homage to Nazi symbology. Fascism, a form of big government, is hated among conservatives. Outsiders in the mainstream media really piled on the hate. "There will be no policy debates," claimed an MSNBC opinion columnist. That's false. The truth, it seems, was of no value in reporting on this year's Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Among speeches from high-profile Republicans were dozens of panels and debates on a broad spectrum of policy issues — which was the purpose of the gathering.
