"Immigrants have overrun Ireland. The elitists support this invasion but the people who have to live with the consequences do not."

I believe you have nailed the very essence of it, most succinctly expressed by the estimable Thomas Sowell: It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.

“Thomas Sowell: It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.”

Not only that but will label you every degree of “racist/nativist” should you dare call them out on it.

Varadkar and his Garda Commissioner denounced the rioters as "far right thugs". In the modern lexicon of the Left "far right" means patriotic. Patriotism is anathema to the Left because it is the opposite of Globalism.

The article I read pointed out there is no conservative political element in Ireland, so there is no "far-right" element, either.

You've got that totally right. From what I've read and based on my Dublin friend's info there is no "far right" in Ireland, certainly not elected "far right." Pretty much everyone is centre left. But then, the lefty voters have elected their idiot leaders.

Remembering an old Irish tune.

I was born on a Dublin street

Where the royal drums are beat

And those loving English boots

They walked all over us.

And every single night

When me Da would come home tight

He'd invite the neighbors out with this fine chorus

Come out ye black and tans

Come out and fight me like a man

Show your wives how you won medals

Down in Flanders.

Tell em how the IRA made you run like hell away

From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra.

Let's face it, Europe is lost. There will be no Normandy redux.

I agree with Bucky Barkingham: the elitists use the term "far right" because everything to the right of them they consider to be Nazis. They use the term "far right" to sow fear and panic, as if anyone who is "far right" will burn a cross on their lawns. These days, the people the elitists consider "far right" are moderates, independents, conservatives and patriots who want to take our country back from the globalists, the members of the uniparty in Washington DC who have been actively working to destroy it.

After Sweden allowed mass Muslim immigration, Malmo became the rape capital of Europe. Muslims don't want to come to the West to participate in Western culture and share our values, they come to overwhelm our culture and force Islam on all of us. This is how Islam has spread since Mohammed: they used force to make people convert or else be a second class citizen or "dhimmi." They despise our values and our culture. They believe their religion and values are better than ours. But they have difficulty explaining why most Muslims live in failed states, if their religion is so superior to ours.

Conor McGregor spoke out against the way the Irish PM described Emily Hand.

"McGregor aired his frustrations at Prime Minister Leo Vardkar, calling him a “disgrace.” Vardkar had used the words “lost” and “found,” apparently from the biblical parable of the Prodigal Son, to describe the abduction of Emily Hand, an Irish-Israeli child taken captive Oct. 7 by Hamas terrorists. McGregor accused the prime minister and other Irish politicians of minimizing Hamas’ atrocities against Israel." (Daily Caller)

Our government, the US government, has used our tax dollars for supporting countries that we, as Americans would not want supported. I recently found out that the US government's foreign policy has insisted on supporting Iran ever since the Iranian Revolution which overthrew the Shah of Iran. This was during Jimmy Carter's Presidency. Every President since Carter supported Iran EXCEPT DONALD TRUMP. Every president since Carter? Why is our money, billions of dollars going to support the country that wants to destroy American and destroy Israel? If you want the full story on how our government has supported Iran, you can go here:

https://hirhome.com/iraniraq/ITAM-conf-eng.htm#carter

Not only that, but did you know we are still giving Afghanistan money, millions of dollars to this day after that disastrous withdrawal? Why are we paying terrorists in Afghanistan, Iran, Lebanon, the Palestinian Authority, Hamas, and UNWRA? UNWRA, the UN Works and Relief Agency teaches children in the West Bank and Gaza to kill Jews! That's what the UN does. The PA wrote the textbooks for the West Bank and for Gaza about the need for every Muslim child to kill Jews.

Every President running for office says they support Israel, but they have to. Who is going to elect them if they tell the truth? The truth is they do all in their power to enable those who want to destroy Israel, and then when they massacre Israelis these Presidents (who are largely responsible for the massacre) go to Israel and say they will help. And they help, but only to a point. As soon as Israel shows it can destroy Hamas, the US Presidents will force Israel to stop. The US government does not want Israel to destroy Hamas. That is why Biden wants to install the PA in Gaza. The PA is an Iranian asset just as Hamas is. If the PA is installed in Gaza, the entire massacre thing can keep happening.

Why do all US Presidents (EXCEPT FOR DONALD TRUMP) want to play Islamists off against Israel in the Middle East? Why do they want to keep the conflict going all while pretending they are going to make "peace" in the Middle East?

It doesn't take a genius to make peace in the middle east: just stop funding the terrorists. But the US government is determined to fund all the Middle East terrorists it can. This is not what We The People want. It is a government gone completely rogue.

The US State Dept has been a grotesquely anti-Semitic den of evil before there even was a State of Israel. When that state was created it went turbo- anti-Semitic. The entire department needs a complete exorcism, root and branch.

I completely agree with you. When Obama was President Rob Malley was head of the Middle East Desk in the State Dept. Now he's lost his security clearance. He is being investigated. I believe he passed classified documents to the Iranians. He is a rabid anti-Israel Jew hater. But as you write, this goes back a long way in the State Dept.

The problem, Chuck, is the pain has apparently not reached a high enough level here yet. Very soon, they will start closing down the invasion at the border. And the very next line in the headlines will be, "Push starts for Amnesty" because there are too many to deport. We never learn from history.

The Elites dont want to learn from history. They know, they dont care. They are still insulated.

Yes, TJ-- Last week, CFP had an explanation of how the rules adopted by the Democratic National Committee in 2022 work, (it's still up near the bottom of "the stack") such that after Biden is nominated for President, but then resigns (or otherwise is backed out of the nomination), that the DNC will have the right to APPOINT the new Democratic nominee-- be it Newsom, Michelle, or whoever.

"Filling a vacancy on the National Ticket: In the event of death, resignation, or disability of a nominee of the Party for President or Vice President after the adjournment of the National Convention, the National Chairperson of the Democratic National Committee shall confer with the Democratic leadership of the United States Congress and the Democratic Governors Association and shall report to the Democratic National Committee, which is authorized to fill the vacancy or vacancies."

So, the Marxist Left has already disenfranchised the Republican voters through voting fraud; and now is also disenfranchising the Democratic voters, through running a sham candidate (Biden), then causing him to step aside after he is Nominated, and then simply APPOINTING a replacement as the Democratic Presidential candidate.

It will indeed be interesting if Democratic voters wake up and realize that their party is effectively overriding and dumping them.

I agree. They always start out by saying "there are too many illegals here to reasonably deport". That's the big lie they push. There will be pictures of little kids and babies being torn from their homes, just like when they sent the little Cuban back to his socialist country. We can do anything we collectively set our minds to do. I don't care if it takes ten years to deport them all so long as we are doing so. Just furnish the aircraft and I will gladly fly them home at no charge.

They come here for the money, nothing else. They send billions home to their families each year. Thats why people like the mafia guy running Mexico love illegal immigration and promote it. It is a huge revenue source for third world countries. Mexicos president doesn’t have to do anything for it but open the border and he reaps the economic benefit. This the REAL meaning of a fundamental redistribution of wealth that King Obama talked about.

Regarding Muslim men, it is the four-wive policy of Islam that causes this. One man who is able to have four wives, means three men have no wife. So they have no hope of a normal life in their home country.

Massive open-border immigration is meant to shred the fabric of the cultures they dilute. There can be no assimilation or integration with the numbers that are being pushed, and as Don points out, the elitists don't have to live with it. We do.

Uncontrolled immigration is yet another strategy used to destroy our lives and institutions that we love. It is a huge distraction as we devote time and money to dealing with its effects.

The US Congress is just as bad as Leo Varadkar.

Unfortunately, mathematics don’t lie. It all comes down to birth rate. When the birth rate of the unwashed, uneducated, unproductive and unintellectual groups are two or three times that of the native population in Europe and the United States the writing is on the wall. While the election of individuals such as Mr. Wilders may be encouraging, the reality is it may be too late. Unfortunately, a country such as Pakistan can evict 2 million Afghans and nobody says a word , yet I suspec as the Netherlands, France or Germany, etc. discover they have balls, it will be akin to trying to rid the cockroach problem you have in the kitchen.

It’s a worthy task, but one that is almost impossible to do.

Don, you were right when the white colonialists discovered the New World. They came with science and religion behind them. These individuals who are colonizing the present world are bringing with them anti-science and a religion which glorifies rape, murder and torture.

I am interested in watching if Ireland remains a faithful poodle to the EU. The EU let Ireland be an English speaking corporate Tax Haven for Tech companies selling to Europe, but I guess in return instead of the English rule, they let EU bureaucrats do that. Looks like Varadkar is a bright EU wunderkind that that WEF is proud of, maybe a little bit smarter that Justin Trudeau-Castro. I guess part of the deal was to fill Ireland up with non-Irish ‘visitors’ on the EU dole to keep the tax haven.

We’ve wanted to visit Ireland now we have time to travel, but understand the Hotels don’t have rooms to rent b/c of all the ‘visitors’.

I have a gentle disagreement with the poll. The “ leaders” aren’t weak they are strategic. They want the results we are seeing. My family came to the USA in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. They came to get away from the hatred in Europe. They came to be Americans. My wife immigrated in 1963. Her family all came to and become Americans. The leaders don’t want the same people now.

You are correct. Voting them out is the solution in reasonable times, but not at all times and under all circumstances. I consider myself fairly reasonable, but every time I read about this kind of "protected" violence and the lunatic response from the leftist governments absolving or ignoring the obvious it makes me want to bite the head off nails.

A lot of people aren't as reasonable as us and if they keep playing with matches around a powder keg we should not be surprised when it blows. If these toads aren't removed from office and from the accompanying system of political corruption, don't blame those whose temperaments make them less tolerant when the keg blows.

I hope the recent electoral success and challenges to juntas around the world bode well for us, but what happened in Dublin is too close to our cities where large numbers of criminals have settled.

I finally had a chance this morning to read carefully Don's Thanksgiving Day column and all the lovely comments there, and would like to add my gratitude as well. I truly appreciate Don Surber's columns every day. Wisdom, frankness, and common sense; solidly based on his long and deep observation of US politics. If everyone in America read him, things in this country would turn around very fast.

And what a wonderful community of commentators! I am grateful for and honor each one of you, who are true freedom-loving American (and Canadian!) patriots. It is wonderful to be able to read these comments every day as we all work through these turbulent times together. We can all hang in there, because as Marlan Hoerer often says--"We are winning."
