deploying their violent hordes to commit acts of domestic terrorism.
Will the new Attorney General prosecute?
The EU has ruled: that Apple Must Pay Ireland $14.5 Billion In Taxes, that Ireland gave Apple illegal tax breaks.
————————————————————————–
Seems to me the EU is interfering with Ireland’s efforts to attract business, to the detriment of Ireland.
How much sovereignty is forfeited with EU membership?
EU bureaucrats (European central authorities) are now overseeing tax policy and rates for member countries. Here they’re imposing their policies retroactively seeing fit to take money from a company going back many years, even though the company had negotiated a contract with the country in good faith.
Do the Irish people have any say in the matter? Do they have any influence on the decisions made by the EU bureaucrats?
When will Irexit happen?
There are two sides to the judgement coin. I am free to : congratulate, cheer, disapprove, forgive, admonish, protest, thank, and endorse according to what people do. It’s right to compare bad examples against good examples. We must voice our opinions. If only perfect people were allowed to judge others, it would be a very quiet world. Silence is approval. Make judgements and Speak Up.
The media always tries to replace what you heard, what the candidate actually said, with their own commentary. Instead of accurately quoting the candidate in context, they paraphrase and inject “the true meaning” and “the true intentions” and speculate on consequences (of what they speculate !). “If this, then that … then this … then that … and then my friends, it will truly be the end of the world as we know it!”
The media calls it “analysis” and brings in experts to feed it to you.
Watch and read the speeches yourself.
like obama and clinton honor their oaths of office.
obama administration will plead the 5th?
The 5th Amendment protects a person from being compelled to be a witness against himself in a criminal case.
In the guise of safety and crime prevention legislators prevent good people from acting in ways that do not fit the legislators’ (controllers’) agenda.
Lawmakers discarded the concept of ‘right vs wrong’ long ago.
Think of that next time an obviously harmless person gets accused of a crime. Pay attention. It happens a lot.
To socialists, communists, and far left liberals, freedom is anethema to their sense of order. They see freedom as too chaotic and unpredictable. There’s no telling how much of their agenda a free people will sidestep or reject outright.
Membership in the EU cost the British much of their sovereignty.
The Brexit is a rejection of an outside, overriding authority beyond The People’s reach. In many important issues their membership in the EU made moot The People’s votes for members of parliament.

For a very long time in America, the executive branch has been gathering power and centralizing control through executive orders and agency regulations making moot The People’s votes for senators and representatives.
“The very purpose of a Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts. One’s right to life, liberty, and property, to free speech, a free press, freedom of worship and assembly, and other fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections.”
— from the 1943 US Supreme Court decision
— WEST VIRGINIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION v. BARNETTE, 319 U.S. 624 (1943)
It’s not the critic who counts. It’s not the man who points out where the grown man stumbles, or how the doer of deeds could have done them better; the credit belongs to the man who actually is in the arena, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement, but who, if he fails, fails, while doing so greatly, so that his place will never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

So next time you’re listening to the talking heads remember that they are just observers/critics flapping their gums. Very few of them know more than you. You are just as good as they are at evaluating what someone says or does.
If you take the time to listen to or read what someone says, instead of only listening to commentary, you will be better informed.
