Just a question but wonโ€™t forcing Iran to divert oil to Tehran lead to an even higher spike in crude prices?

Iโ€™m sorry, doing this in a baseball cap sold by your campaign store is deliberately disrespecting the dead.

Are we falling out of love with nonfiction? In the early 2020s, readers flocked to books to explain political turbulence. But is the world now too grim to read about โ€“ and are podcasters taking the place of authors?

my view on this is that publishers should stop it with the 80k wordcount obsession, so many contemporary non-fic books are obviously 40-50k pieces of work stretched to the extent that they become very boring to read - just let people write cheaper, shorter books! www.theguardian.com/books/2025/d...

Sinead O'Connor hated paedophiles like Trump.
He's always done and taken whatever he wants, because daddy's money paid for it, then the Mafia, Israel, Russia and now he's robbing the American taxpayers' money.
Hopefully, someone will sue the imbecile.

Kind of weird for the theme song of Trumpโ€™s new organization to be something Prince wrote about the inability to move on after a breakup or loss. Sinead Oโ€™Connor said she thought about her deceased mom every time she sang it.

Over 17,000 homeless last month in record high Homeless figures have surpassed 17,000 for the first time, with the number in emergency accommodation last month reaching a total of 17,112.

Homelessness has reached another record in Ireland.

17,112 people are now homeless, including 5,319 children.

This is the result of years of housing policy designed to protect landlords, developers and vulture funds.

Fianna Fรกil and Fine Gael created this crisis.
