I sincerely hope that SF do well today Mary Lou McDonald - Sinn Féin I have seen Mary Lou from afar over decades, at many events, and her party have actively engaged in high level diplomacy, over decades, to bring lasting peace to this Island. It can be said the party has 'skeletons in its closet.' However, what version of history have you been exposed to school? And in the esteemed universities? Covering the Age of Enlightenment from the great bicentennial celebrations out of Clongowes Wood College S.J. (1814-2014)? When Micheál Martin and Simon Harris TD ask where has Mary Lou McDonald - Sinn Féin been for 100 years, their conjoined statuses are aiming to create a homogenised innocence; their 'broad bandwidth' as objectively prosocial, a rose in the cross of the present and all reconnaissance moves of beatified neutrality in the lie of the land under FF/FG et al and PDs. Having listened attentively to the soothsayings, going back to Castleknock educated Paddy Cooney in Longford Westmeath, over 50 years now, I do feel old, before my time. Simon Harris TD has manifested some interest in this history as our our/my history, showing up for famine commemorations, earlier this year in Maria Edgeworth Centre right near the heartland of Oliver Goldsmith - born in Ballymahon, we think, a great heartland of FG. Longford Westmeath, Offaly etc, one should examine the CSO data from Cottage to Creche since at least the 1950s into the now. It is not rocket science, the trend lines of polarisation are plain to see in 'vectors of inequity, shapeshifting through time and space. The area has had its fair share of tycoon innovation, but also its share of enervation, and, much of the popular analyses on the former is just lazy and even dogmatic. This election has clearly manifested the linguistic capacity of more than just the usual fire branding of others. I particularly remember the Cosgrave era of downcast eyes; cool pose of detachment as opposed to the jovial Albert keeper of the third secret of Fatima. All very romantic "Clubs function by carving society into niches, to create a sense of belonging to something larger. Like the old guilds, many centre on professions" One side would talk the talk against the economists and sometimes living way beyond our means as FG payed homage to fiscal judicious prudence. 1960s/70s/80s/90s and here we are in 2024.

New Orleans has installed a historic marker under the Claiborne overpass to honor a once-thriving Black business district displaced by Interstate 10 construction. From the 1830s to the 1970s, Claiborne Avenue was a vibrant hub of Black-owned businesses, fostering community and culture until its destruction for highway development. The marker, unveiled with a celebratory second line, serves as a tribute to the area’s entrepreneurial legacy and a reminder of its resilience. https://lnkd.in/gdwv-TfB

Lessons from Every City #78 Dover, Delaware---Numerous pioneers and innovators worldwide experienced uncertainty regarding the magnitude of their impact on future generations; nonetheless, they were driven by an intrinsic motivation to explore unconventional avenues that could leave a lasting legacy. Delaware earned the title of the "First State" as it was the inaugural colony among the original thirteen to ratify the U.S. Constitution on December 7, 1787, thereby officially becoming the first state to enter the Union. The delegates convened in Dover at Battell’s Tavern, also referred to as the Golden Fleece Tavern, and unanimously declared Delaware as the first state to endorse the United States Constitution. The proactive stance taken by Delaware was of significant importance. A contemporary French observer residing in New York City noted, “Delaware has the advantage of having given the first signal of a revolution in the general government of the United States, and its example can only produce a good effect in other state conventions.” Delaware's distinction as the first state to ratify the Constitution can be attributed, in part, to the unified support of all political factions within the state for the new constitution, contrasting with the opposition faced in many other states. At that time, the delegates could not have anticipated that 49 additional states would eventually follow. #leadbyexample #pavetheway #innovators #pioneers #firstone

I'm always thrilled to see my fellow authors recognized for their achievements, and have long been interested in how the lessons from the transformation of the American West in the pasr may be applied in the future by countries which today share similarities in terrain, (lack of) infrastructure, unique "cattle cultures", indigenous armed ttibes, and massive mineral wealth and agricultural potential! Putting CONTINENTAL RECKONING on my "must-read" list.
