My parents impressed on me the values: that you work hard for what you want in life. That your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise. That you treat people with respect. They taught me to show the values and morals in my daily life. That is the lesson that I continue to pass along to our son. And we need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow. Because we want our children in this nation to know that the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.
Melania Trump gave a speech that was very, very similar, to one given by Michelle Obama.
It’s hard… There’s no cooking facilities, nowhere to wash your clothes, there’s nothing. I’ve been having really bad meltdowns the past couple of days. I’m finding it really hard. I mean I’m trying to work to better myself but now I’ve been slapped in the face with this.

The place is losing character all the time… it’s just becoming fast food places and shops.
Tom Malone on the changing face of Dublin’s Liberties.
These letters are no more than the letters were in the past and try by intimidation to get people to drop their cases against the State. The State is afraid of people who will stand up for justice.
Abuse survivor Louise O’Keeffe on letters people abused while in Irish national schools received from lawyers representing the Department of Education, advising them that they face significant costs if they are not successful in legal cases against the department.
It’s voyeuristic if you have the opportunity to do it somewhere that is much more private away from the glare of the public, the cameras etc. To me, anyone who chooses to do it in the chamber rather than the quietness of their office, is doing it for reasons other than simply feeding the child.
DUP MP Sammy Wilson said that the breastfeeding of children in the House of Commons amounts to “exbitionism”.
When I was a kid, the great debate was about how to defeat the Soviet Union. And we won. Now we are told that the great debate is about who gets to use which bathroom. This is a distraction from our real problems. Who cares?
