Over the last few years Ireland decided it was sick of being the Catholic Country it was famous for being.
It hasn’t worked out so well:
There’s just 175 people in Dundrum, a village that has been there for centuries. But the government just announced—with no consultation, no discussion, no appeal—that they are moving 280 migrants into the town. That’s nearly going to triple the population overnight.
The Irish state broadcaster tried to find a single resident in Coolock who supports this scheme; they couldn’t find one. But the government is dead-set on it.
Don’t worry Ireland, when you’ve survived your suicide attempt the Church will still be there to rebuild civilization as it always has.

Why is Ireland destroying itself?
We're in Ireland studying their immigration policy. It’s like looking at a car crash—it’s terrible, but we can’t stop from staring.
The government here has gone mad. It’s bringing in hundreds of thousands of migrants.
What’s most interesting thing about this self destruction that is taking place in Ireland, and Canada and England, and France and now the US is that it is all self inflicted.
Ebenezer Scrooge: “I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all three shall strove within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach. Oh, tell me that I may sponge away the writing on this stone!”
Kafni:I can not give you my belief or my devotion, so I’m afraid my honesty is all I have to give after giving up my daughter. Jesus: I understand. I ask a lot from those who follow me, but I ask little of those who do not.
The Chosen Thunder 2021
What a difference a week makes.
As recently as one week ago tonight was going to be a moment that had been repeated many times in American History in a four year cycle. Tonight is the night when one of the major party candidates for president makes his case publicly to both his party’s convention and to the American people in a prime time speech.
As such a moment it would be of news value and depending on the result of the election and how the speech is received of some history value as well. Something that the chattering classes might talk about for a bit but nothing that would be considered earth shattering
But that was then.
Now instead of just Donald Trump, the former president and GOP nominee making a speech to the nation, it’s also Donald Trump, the man who missed being murdered by the tiniest of tiny margins giving his first public address the nation after facing death.
Salena Zito who had been scheduled to interview Trump that Saturday and who was feet away from Trump on the same grandstand as Corey Camperatore who died saving his wife and daughter interviewed Trump the next day and wrote this report:
“That reality is just setting in,” he said. “I rarely look away from the crowd. Had I not done that in that moment, well, we would not be talking today, would we?”
Talking as he boarded his plane in Bedminster, New Jersey, for Milwaukee, where the Republican National Convention starts Monday and lasts through Thursday, Trump said his speech will meet the moment that history demands. “It is a chance to bring the country together. I was given that chance,” he said.
Early Sunday morning, Trump posted on Truth Social that it was “God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening” and that he would “fear not.” Again, in talking to the Washington Examiner, he invoked “God” for his deliverance.
“This is a chance to bring the whole country, even the whole world, together. The speech will be a lot different, a lot different than it would’ve been two days ago,” he said.
I have written in the past that Donald Trump as a man of 78 is set in his ways. It is very difficult for such a man to change the habits of a lifetime, but if there is anything that CAN do such a thing it’s the hand of God allowing him to walk away from certain death.
One of the most important things for a soul is to see itself in the light of truth and Donald Trump was given the incredible gift of being able to see that every remaining day of his life, is a gift from God.
In short, he’s been given an incredible grace, today we find out what he chooses to do with said grace.
The world will be watching. I suspect he will not disappoint.
I spoke to Catholic Author Paul Migliozzi author of the children’s book We’re no Angels about the sequel written with his granddaughter We’re no Angels meet Papanon which comes out on July 1st. We also discussed his upcoming local FATV series first on camera.
