  1. 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

  5. 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
