I am left with, what do we have to do. 100 years later, they are back in charge! Those who feel they get to rule the world. Those who hate freedom, and seek to confuse.

Even worse, my Sister in Law who can sing all the songs of rebellion, and my brother in law who turned up with a Lee Enfield Riffle during the troubles (not that he knew what to do with it) and they all thought he was so brave, are all in for Joe Biden (The Irish still believe in America)

Irony is, that I am the Canadian Brother in Law, and I grieve for Ireland and what its government is becoming, while my Irish In-laws are blissfully unaware. The EU money has done something to the Irish soul. (I don't even want to talk about my government)

Viva Palestina 🇵🇸 🇮🇪

I came back to this after seeing your UN video tonight.

You are true hero Matt!

Immense gratitude for sharing your passion, Marine combat and diplomacy work and profound intelligence with the world.

As another Irish American heartbroken for Gaza, your humor sure helps as well 💚

A slice of history I never knew. Damn, can't load song. Maybe consequence of Africa's undersea cable getting torn.
