Irish Government Tells EU What It Can Do With Its Demand to Force 'Hate Speech' Laws on the Public Mike Miller It what may become a "yuuge" (as President Donald Trump might say) victory for free speech in Europe, Irish Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan announced to the lower House of Ireland’s national parliament that he will not accede to the demands of the European Union (EU) after it put Ireland on notice that it must either submit to the EU's demands to force "hate speech" laws on the Irish public, or risk legal action in Brussels. Before we continue, kudos to Justice Minister O'Callaghan for basically telling the EU what it can do with its (beyond hypocritical) "hate speech" nonsense. Earlier this year, the ever-smug EU gave Ireland a two-month ultimatum to pass new hate speech laws or face legal action for allegedly failing to meet EU standards on issues like antisemitism and anti-Muslim hatred. Hold the bus. Raise your hand if you think a majority of the members of the Union — including United Kingdom countries — are as concerned with rampant antisemitism as with virtually anything anti-Islamic — including against terrorist group Hamas, and other radical antisemitic groups. As reported by the Irish outlet "Gript," the EU has in the past stated that Ireland had allegedly failed to comply with its laws against hate speech and hate crimes. Yet to O'Callaghan's credit, when he was asked by Irish politician Deputy Paul Lawless on Thursday if he would reintroduce a previous hate speech resolution that failed under the last Minister of Justice, the justice minister answered, resoundingly: No. I’m fairly satisfied that Ireland has transposed the European Council framework decision on combating certain forms and expressions of racism and xenophobia in the manner appropriate and tailored to the domestic system of law in Ireland. https://redstate.com/mike_miller/2025/10/10/irish-government-tells-the-eu-what-it-can-do-with-its-demand-to-force-hate-speech-laws-the-public-n2194943

Good work Chuck !

Have you noticed, with apologies to Peter Noone, a kind of hush all over the world? Not in Gaza, at least not yet, although the IDF has begun disengaging today against Hamas to move to agreed-upon positions for the hostage releases in the next two days. Not at the White House, which has understandably spoken about this agreement in historic terms, correctly if a bit prematurely. And not in diplomatic circles either, where relief over the potential end of the two-year war Hamas launched with its October 7 atrocities finally takes moral pressure off of their anti-Israel posturing. No, the hush comes from the progressive world, particularly in Hollywood, where celebrities banded together to demand a cease-fire and put together a blacklist targeting the Joooooooos. I hadn't noticed it at first, but my friend John Ondrasik caught it almost immediately, as I noted in last night's Final Word: The Silence of the AMPAS spoke loudly to Nellie Bowles, too. In her TGIF column this morning at The Free Press, Bowles offers a wry take on the sudden lack of a script from those who demanded that Israel surrender to terrorists while boycotting Israeli filmmakers. They spent the last two years insisting that Hamas' war was Israel's genocide, Bowles points out -- so why aren't they celebrating the end of the war? https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2025/10/10/hollywood-silence-on-cease-fire-speaks-lpoudly-n3807682 https://www.thefp.com/p/tgif-shutdown-blues?utm_campaign=email-post&r=bcowk&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

Just when you think that the democrat 'leaders' can't go any lower. They are slaves to the extreme Left. BREAKING: Speaker Johnson is FURIOUS after learning that Schumer plans to keep the government closed until AFTER an Antifa-involved "No Kings" rally in DC on Oct. 18 "It's being told to us they can't reopen the government until after that rally, because they can't face their rabid base!" "They have a Hate America rally scheduled for Oct. 18 on the National Mall. Pro-Hamas, Antifa people, they're all coming out. House Democrats selling T-shirts for the event." "I have HAD it with these people. They're playing games with real people's lives." Absolutely disgusting.

The NYT is ticked they can no longer go wherever they want to in the Pentagon.

Venezuela’s ‘Iron Lady’ Dedicates Nobel Prize to Trump As Maduro’s Death Rattle Gets Louder. By Sarah Anderson As reported earlier today, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado won the Nobel Peace Prize. My personal opinion is that if couldn't have been Donald Trump, this was the next best choice. Machado is the face of the movement that is looking communism in the eye in Latin America and telling it to take a hike —something that will eventually benefit every one of us here in the U.S. if it's successful. She's worked tirelessly at taking down the country's illegitimate narco-terrorist regime for years. They call her Venezuela's "Iron Lady." She's rallied millions to fight, and she's beloved by her fellow countrymen and people around the world. For those of you who don't know, Nicolás Maduro banned her from running for president, so she threw her support behind Edmundo González for the 2024 election. He was the voice. She was the architect. They had the support of their country. González won in a landslide, but as you can see, Maduro is still el presidente and González lives in exile in Europe. Machado lives in Venezuela in hiding because of nonstop threats on her life. https://pjmedia.com/sarah-anderson/2025/10/10/venezuelas-iron-lady-dedicates-nobel-prize-to-trump-as-maduros-death-rattle-gets-louder-n4944707 / This post from this morning aged poorly.

The Upside of Losing: Why NOT Winning the Nobel Peace Prize Is One of Donald Trump’s Greatest Victories SCOTT PINSKER Hey, yesterday we told you point-blank that this would happen. For all the hype, lobbying, and breathless anticipation, Donald Trump never had a prayer of winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Those Oslo eggheads would rather gouge their own eyeballs out with corkscrews than give “literally Hitler” their most prestigious political award. Even after “literally Hitler” singlehandedly brought the war-savaged Middle East to the precipice of peace! Awards aren’t living, breathing entities; they’re inanimate objects, subject to the whims and wishes of their masters. In the case of the Nobel Peace Prize, it’s a political prop — a tool for powerless, neutered, ineffective European elites to act like bigshots on the global stage. It’s not an award that celebrates what you’ve done. If it was, Donald Trump — who’s now on the verge of his FIFTH peace deal in the Middle East alone! — would’ve won it years ago. Furthermore, if it were based on actual accomplishments, Barack Obama certainly wouldn’t have won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for (checks notes) “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy between peoples.” (Translation: “Nice speeches.”) [snip} The world will still be bracing for how Trump processes losing out. An early test will be the president’s planned trip in the coming days to Egypt and Israel to celebrate the peace deal. Without the luster of a Nobel, the US president may lose interest during the critical first days of implementing the accord. Equally, with US forces massed in the Caribbean off Venezuela, there is no Peace Prize that might cause Trump to hold back. [emphasis added] And there you have it, boys and girls: Bloomberg buried the lede that unmasks the scam. As Americans, we approach the world with the can-do bravado of a superpower. Sometimes, that gets us in trouble (cough, Iraq War, cough). But it’s who we are. To paraphrase the Gipper, we are masters of destiny — not victims of fate. From walking on the moon to kicking (the real, actual) Hitler’s arsch in World War II, America is a nation of dreamers, deliverers, and doers. Once we decide to do something, one way or another, it’s gonna get done. Bet against us at your own peril. Western Europeans don’t think like that. They’re anti-Viagra: A weak, flaccid collection of guilt-ridden countries, still limply hanging their heads in shame for the (many) sins of colonialism, imperialism, and racism. History has taught them that taking bold, decisive action almost never works out, national self-interest leads to war, and it’s safer to stay on the sidelines and deliver nice-sounding speeches that echo the group consensus: global warming will destroy the planet, racism is the root cause of global injustice, capitalism is unfair and evil, blah-blah-blah. And so, the Europeans rely on a series of diplomatic “carrots and sticks” to influence the handful of countries that actually matter — the Nobel Peace Prize included. It’s both a stick and a carrot. But I’m glad he didn’t win. Imagine the PR fallout if Trump won: We’d have 24 hours of celebration (plus furious condemnation and/or teeth-gnashing from everyone on the left). And the gala where President Trump received the trophy would be lots of fun, too. It'd be a cool photo-op. But over the long term, his critics on the left would use the award as a noose around his neck — tugging, strangling, and shaming him for “disgracing” such a prestigious honor. There’d be talk about him being the first-ever Peace Prize recipient to have his award revoked. And every other Nobel winner — no matter the category — would have an elevated profile to air their angry, unrepentant anti-American grievances. They’d use it to wield leverage over our country. Addition by subtraction is a very real thing. Today, NOT winning the Nobel Peace Prize is one of President Trump’s greatest victories, because it reinforces how empty, shallow, and meaningless the Nobel Committee is. Donald Trump isn’t diminished; they are. He’s grown even larger while their carrots and sticks keep shrinking. https://pjmedia.com/scott-pinsker/2025/10/10/the-upside-of-losing-why-not-winning-the-nobel-peace-prize-is-one-of-donald-trumps-greatest-victories-n4944708

SCOTUS Will Hear Hawaii Carry Ban Case Mark Chesnut - October 9, 2025 When the U.S. Supreme Court in 2022 handed down its ruling in the case New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, everything changed on how cases involving the Second Amendment are adjudicated. In a nutshell, the ruling upheld the right of Americans to carry a firearm outside the home for self-defense. However, it also set a new standard for how Second Amendment cases are to be considered. Under the new standard, courts must ask whether the “Second Amendment’s plain text covers an individual’s conduct?” If the answer is yes, it next must ask whether there exists a “historical precedent from before, during and even after the founding [that] evidences a comparable tradition of regulation?” After the ruling, many states with anti-gun legislatures began passing “Bruen response” laws trying to sidestep the ruling while still infringing on the Second Amendment rights of their citizens. One such was Hawaii, where lawmakers quickly passed a law forbidding carry on private property open to the public, such as restaurants, gas stations and grocery stores, without the property owner’s express consent. Gun owners quickly filed a lawsuit, Wolford v. Lopez, challenging the law. While a district court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals later reversed that ruling, finding that the law doesn’t run afoul of Second Amendment protections. Of course, plaintiffs filed an appeal. And now SCOTUS has agreed to decide the case. https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/supreme-court-wolford-v-lopez-hawaii-gun-carry-case/
