The Irish Have Had Enough – Efforts to Squash Protests Fail Miserably as They Increase in Size

 

The Irish have had enough!  

“Ordinary Irish people — farmers, truckers, bus drivers — by the thousand have taken to the streets to protest high fuel taxes. They’ve blocked highways, a port, a refinery and even streets in the heart of Ireland’s capital.”

Here is more from Rebel News in Ireland:

 

🚨 What I saw at the Irish trucker convoy today

Thousands of farmers and truckers bring Dublin to a standstill over soaring fuel taxes, as tensions rise between grassroots protesters and a government now under pressure to respond.

It’s 12 noon here in Dublin, Ireland. My videographer @EFloresMonsanto and I (@EzraLevant) flew all night from Canada because we could sense something very special happening — very special and very dangerous.

Ordinary Irish people — farmers, truckers, bus drivers — by the thousand have taken to the streets to protest high fuel taxes. They’ve blocked highways, a port, a refinery and even streets in the heart of Ireland’s capital.

 

They’re ordinary people with few friends in powerful places. Everyone’s against them — the political class, the media, Ireland’s countless NGOs. Everyone’s against them, except the people.

That’s the special part.

The dangerous part is obvious: these truckers and farmers are embarrassing Ireland’s political class. And there’s nothing politicians hate more than being embarrassed. Remember, that’s what spurred Justin Trudeau to invoke martial law against Canada’s trucker convoy: they embarrassed him, especially on the world stage. So he jailed them and seized their bank accounts.

Will that happen to these lovely truckers and farmers?

Here on the streets of Dublin, it’s calm. There are police around, but they’re casual and friendly. No riot gear, no snipers on rooftops. Many of the police support the call for lower fuel taxes. (Even the customs policeman who processed us at the airport said he supported the protesters.) But Ireland’s most senior politicians have threatened to deploy the army against the truckers and farmers. That’s downright shocking, especially compared to how meekly Ireland’s politicians treat illegal migrants who are convicted of crimes. Why do they reserve their rage for their own countrymen who are peacefully pleading for lower fuel taxes so they can continue to farm and feed the nation?

That’s the dangerous part: angry politicians, backed into a corner.

 

I’m told that, early this afternoon, senior government officials have agreed to meet with some of the protest organizers. That sounds promising — you’ll recall that Trudeau absolutely refused to meet with the truckers. In fact, he denounced them as racist.

I spoke with James Geoghegan, one of the protest leaders.

We’ll find out soon if the politicians blink and lower their fuel taxes — or if they’re just toying with the farmers. I promise I’ll keep you posted.

Please help cover the cost for me and my videographer Efron to fly to Ireland on short notice. Unlike Ireland’s state broadcaster, RTE, we don’t take any money from any government, which is precisely why we’re able to stand up for the farmers and truckers. If you value what we do, please consider chipping in at http://TheTruthAboutIreland.com — thanks!

The anti-Irish Globalists have lost control.

EPIC BACKFIRE IN IRELAND

The Irish Government sent in the MILITARY to CRUSH fuel protesters…but the Crowds EXPLODED in size. Now, huge parts of the country are RUNNING OUT OF FUEL.

Their Globalist Regime has COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL

Eric Swalwell’s Lawyer Says His Client is Just Too ‘Busy’ to Answer Questions About Rape Allegations (VIDEO)

 

Swalwell’s lawyer Elias Dabaie on CNN.

A lawyer for the disgraced far-left Rep. Eric Swalwell has said his client is too “busy” to answer questions about the flurry of rrape and sexual assault allegations against him.

The California Congressman, who was among the favorites to win the state’s upcoming gubernatorial election, was hit by numerous allegations of rape and sexual assault on Friday evening.

During an appearance on CNN, Swalwell’s lawyer, Elias Dabaie, said his client had more important things to do than respond directly to questions about the claims. 

“Well, let me start by telling you that we take these allegations very seriously,” Dabaie began.

”The Congressman categorically denies any misconduct took place, and we intend to vindicate his rights in court.”

“So, your investigation is ongoing. Why isn’t he here, though, to answer those questions?” asked host Elex Michaelson.

“Well, he has a campaign to run,” Dabaie responded. “He’s busy.” 

”He’s taking these allegations seriously. And, again, as he told you in that video, he’s spending time with his family and his wife and his friends, and that’s his choice.”

In a video posted on X, Swalwell vowed to fight the allegations with “everything I have”.

“These allegations of sexual assault are flat false. They are absolutely false, they did not happen. They have never happened. And I will fight them with everything I have,” he said,.

“I do not suggest to you in any way that I am perfect or that I’m a saint. I have certainly made mistakes in judgement in my past.

”But those mistakes are between me and my wife and to her, I apologize deeply for putting her in this position.

”I also apologize to you if in any way, you have doubted your support for me. But I think you know who I am.”

Politico reported on Friday that Swalwell’s gubernatorial campaign is already imploding as a result of the allegations, with multiple staff resigning before the story broke.

Meanwhile, the majority of Swalwell’s supporters including California Senator Adam Schiff have pulled their endorsements and called on him to drop out the race

The U.S. is Ramping Up Its Refugee Admissions — But Only For White South Africans Facing Persecution

U.S. refugee admissions have narrowed sharply under President Donald Trump, with nearly all new arrivals being persecuted white people from South Africa.

Government data shows 4,499 refugees have been admitted since October 2025, with all but three originating from South Africa.

The only exceptions were three individuals from Afghanistan. 

The shift follows Trump’s decision to suspend most refugee admissions while allowing Afrikaners and others, the administration says, who face unjust discrimination to apply.

Under the Biden regime, the U.S. admitted 125,000 refugees from 85 countries in a single fiscal year.

Meanwhile, over 10 million people entered the country illegally, often using fake or baseless claims for asylum to protect them from deportation.

The current policy has reduced overall numbers while concentrating admissions in one group.   

The first South African arrivals entered the U.S. in May last year, as The Gateway Pundit reported.

Numbers increased significantly in early 2026, with 2,848 arrivals recorded in February and March alone.

Refugees have been resettled across multiple states. Texas has the largest concentration, with 543 individuals, according to available data.

Trump has pointed to conditions in South Africa, including concerns about attacks and racism against white farmers, as justification for the policy shift.

The administration has also said the changes are aimed at tightening the refugee system, cutting legal immigration, and strengthening national security.

South African officials have pushed back against claims of persecution and have publicly criticized the decision to prioritize Afrikaner applicants.

Tensions between the two countries have been rising since the policy was introduced, with Trump previously confronting South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in the Oval Office over the claims.
