Very interesting today on Sean Hannity’s radio show, and y’all know he just interviewed Trump a few days ago. I was listening to his live radio show today while grabbing some food, before picking up my youngest daughter from school. Well at 12:50pm Pacific Time Sean was on an encouraging rant about America needing to pay attention to China and Taiwan, but Joe Biden is too busy visiting Castles in Ireland. And he strongly emphasized Biden visiting castles 3 times in a row at 12:55-56ish. You’ll have to go back and listen to todays broadcast once it’s posted/finished to hear it. But this really caught my Anon ears.
I’m no Chess player but in Chess, once you use your Rooks or Castles to defend the King, doesn’t it usually signal nearing the end of the game? Once the checks have started, isn’t checkmate within a few moves?
Very interesting Anons.
Edit: Anon VFD just tagged me on this article and his tag is also below in the thread. Has to do with Biden’s Ireland trip and those lost security documents found in Belfast. Right before Biden went on his castle tours.
kilts are for scots I believe.... Could be wrong
Scottish are Irish. Well their blood is intermingled at the least.
The Picts are the original inhabitants of Scotland. The Romans called them the "painted people". They were half naked barbarians for the most part. They left no written record.
In the 800s Irishman Kenneth MacAlpin made claims on Pict and Gael lands in Scotland and within 50 years the Picts were gone. Im sure interbreeding, conversion (St Patrick had converted Ireland in the 6th century), emigration and genocide all contributed.
Kilts probably came about in the Scottish Highlands but were adopted by the Irish Nationals who at the time ruled over much of Scotland. Scottish kilts and Irish kilts have differences in color, material and meaning though.
I have a cousin who was born in County Donegal and moved here to Michigan in his late 20s. He plays the bagpipes and comes to all our weddings and funerals in full Irish regalia, including kilt, and plays the bagpipes for us.
From what I heard from a Scottish Acquaintance that is a bit like telling a Marine that he is part of the Navy....but that is just my experience...
lol Im sure.
In some other countries, Marine equivalent are called Naval Infantry. And Marine Corps answers to SECNAV, and medics are navy and EOD detachments with Marines are Navy. Just saying…
Sitill Marines may not kick your ass for it, but they won't be buying any drinks either...
We spent part of our honeymoon in Donegal. Spouseanon's mother is from there. She was the only one to leave. The rest are still there.
We were in a pub one night with his cousins; I looked around and said "do you realize you are related to the bar?" His eyes got a little wide at the realization.
Same here, but in Clare. My brother wound up moving there.
Nope, the Irish wear kilts as well. Their colored tartans (though more associated with the Scots) and kilts are still worn today in both Scotland and Ireland more for certain/special occasions. But centuries ago were a part of everyday wear for both Irish and Scottish people.
