The politics of promising to give people other peoples money is easier than the politics of giving people the chance to earn and keep more of their own money.

“The Field” is both:
1. One of the rare films that’s better than its source material.
2. The most accurate portrayal of old rural Irish culture ever committed to film.
The current Irish government’s defence innovations include wanting members of its military to address what it calls their ‘colleagues’, with their preferred pronouns. Rank and name did the job perfectly well for centuries. Then you look at what they actually spend on defence and you can see on full display the disregard they have for defence and those charged with the responsibility to maintain it.
Even taking into account Ireland's inflated GDP, the scale of under-investment in defence is well illustrated in todays Eurostat figures below. The continued non-existence of a National Security Strategy, a security vetting framework and a full time defence minister also point to a political class that just does not understand how Europe security has changed since 2022. With Putin waging full scale war on Ukraine and hybrid war on other countries, and Trump's unreliability, national security should be a top priority.
My Chief Program Officer and Deputy CEO at Rivada Space, Dr. Clemens Kaiser, will be at Silicon Valley Space Week today and tomorrow. Discussing the #Outernet, the gateway-free global data network that is designed for purpose to avoid the internet and public networks.
Our Chief Program Officer and Deputy CEO Clemens Kaiser is attending Silicon Valley Space Week, and looking forward to connecting with industry leaders and gaining valuable insights into opportunities, challenges, and developments shaping the future of the space sector.
If you’d like to arrange a meeting with Clemens, please contact [email protected].

The High North, including the Arctic Circle and areas adjacent to it, has become a key focus for strategic defense and communications in recent years.
There are concerns that the critical infrastructure, including undersea cables and energy supply routes in this demanding, hostile environment are not adequately resilient or protected.
Rivada's #Outernet bypasses the vulnerabilities of subsea cable infrastructure entirely. Its space-only design creates a secure, private orbital backbone, ensuring true pole-to-pole coverage. It enables governments and enterprises to route their most critical data through a path-diverse and fully sovereign layer of connectivity.
By delivering resilience not as an overlay but as architecture, the Outernet transforms how we secure the systems that will define the future of the polar regions. For missions where latency, security, and sovereignty are non-negotiable, it is the only viable path to uninterrupted control.

My eldest daughter Rafaella got an impromptu ask to do a prayer of the faithful during Mass in the Basilica of Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre in Paris today. Proud dad moment, that’s a wonderful church.
In the immediate aftermath of the horrific terrorist attack against Christians at their church, it is good to see King Abdullah of Jordan make the below statement. God bless him and protect him as he works to defend Jordan against such hate fuelled terrorism.
The terrorist attack against Karak will be met with the harshest retaliation. Those who delude themselves into thinking that they can divide Jordanians with their bullets have no chance in the face of our unity. All Jordanians, from north to south, are partners in land and fate, and nothing stands between them. Our deepest condolences to the families of the martyrs and we wish a speedy recovery to those injured.
Every Jordanian life is precious, and we will strike with an iron fist against those who dare to threaten our nation
One of the many reasons that my excellent team at @rivadaspace has spent years, and hundreds of millions (and counting) developing the #Outernet. A the only global commercial data network that can survive a catastrophic loss of the internet.
RUSI's @c21st_sailor spoke to @Telegraph on the UK’s subsea cable vulnerability: “The difficulty would come if there are simultaneous breaks at different geographical locations which removes the redundancy you have. And how do you respond to that if you have one or no vessels?”
I don’t normally recommend TV/Streaming series here as very few merit that sort of promotion but I am going to recommend this one. ‘Legends’. It’s excellent, is partially built around a true story and is very well produced. Congratulations and thank you to those involved in making it:

The Croatian MEP Stjepo Bartulica delivers it straight on what holds Europe back. Well worth a watch. This is one of the finest voices in the European Parliament.
Elon Musk je izumio leteći automobil, a Europa razmišlja o novim propisima i regulativama.
Ljevica lamentira o moći, tehnološkim divovima iz SAD-a, ali trebamo se probuditi iz zimskog sna i zapitati se zašto Europa nije vodeća sila u novim tehnologijama.
Svaka tehnologija u moralnom smislu je neutralna, može se koristiti za dobro ili za zlo.
Tako i umjetna inteligencija.
U Europi smo stvorili kulturu koja izbjegava rizik, ne nagrađuje inovacije,i one najbolje.

Sovereign data needs a sovereign path. Rivada's #Outernet is built to keep mission traffic on a private orbital network end to end, independent of undersea cables, terrestrial networks and the public internet.
See you in London.

The New York Post now quite rightly ripping into the woke nuttery on display in the Irish Government’s latest attack ad against the family. This time warning about Irish Granny hugs and kisses. The people that make and endorse this shite are the degenerates.
Irish pol calls for 'common sense' after gov-funded PSA calls for grandparents to get consent before hugging grandkids trib.al/6Z5BzVW

*Important,
Let me explain the public money trail behind the viral advert about grandparents hugging their grandchildren.
Four Organisations keep appearing:
1. CUAN,
2. Community Foundation Ireland,
3. Dublin Rape Crisis Centre, and
4. We-Consent.
1. Cuan is the State agency.
Established in January 2024 to fund and coordinate domestic and sexual violence services, set standards, and run awareness campaigns.
It sits inside the Dept. of Justice
Its funding has risen from €58.6 million in 2024 to €84.4 million allocation for 2027 (+44% increase in three years!)
At end of 2024 it had 28 employees. That year it spent roughly €3 million on staff, administration and board costs + another €4.2 million on awareness campaigns.
In 2025 it allocated €58.36 million to 78 organisations (see pic below).
2. Community Foundation Ireland
Denise Charlton is CEO of Community Foundation.
She also sits on CUAN's statutory board, and is a named member of We-Consent’s advisory group.
Community Foundation Ireland helped fund the original We-Consent campaign (launched 2023 by DRCC, with Dept of Justice support).
Other CUAN board members also lead or sit on organisations that receive Cuan grants (including Women’s Aid and Galway Rape Crisis Centre and others).
These links are publicly disclosed. They are not evidence of wrongdoing. Everything here is above board.
But they do raise ordinary public-interest questions about conflict declarations, recusals, and how core grants are renewed versus the smaller open funding call (€3.2m in 2025).
3. We-Consent
We-Consent is a DRCC project, not a separate State body.
The precise cost, production details, and evaluation of this particular grandparents advert are not publicly broken out.
4. ***IMPORTANT**
Dublin Rape Crisis Centre does important work.
Supporting survivors and teaching boundaries are not in dispute.
But my question here is:
What measurable improvement has this new agency structure, CUAN, delivered per euro spent, and where is the independent comparison with the previous system?
*The graphic below shows how €58.3million was distributed in 2025. CUAN's total budget allocation for 2027 is €85million.

Coming from a French, Irish, Italian family where affection, hugs, laughter even arguments are the norm. We will always continue to cook, love, hug, play games & listen to our wonderful Grandchildren. This indoctrination is damaging to the very fabric of families
It’s a fair point the extremely intelligent and hired purely on merit and skill ‘Senator’ makes. If only we could get 50 years projected on various models carbon percentage to drop from 0.015% to 0.014%, they wouldn’t need to loot Louis Vuitton handbags or Moet Champagne. Also, those hard working immigrant shop owners wouldn’t have had to see their small family owned and operated shops robbed and burned. The Limoges town hall would not be a pile of ashes. Noting like the risk of AI replacing your future job (yeah right) to make you want to drop kick a police woman trying to escape an immediate threat to life.
Omg this fool says the protests are 'young people worried abput climate & AI jobs'...how can you air such trash @TonightVMTV the whole world knows the real truth!!!
