🇮🇪 Hundreds of Dublin residents took to the streets to protest against Ukrainian refugees being placed in their neighborhood, local media has reported.
▪️ The authorities plan to house 380 more Ukrainians in a specially converted old building, in addition to the 100 refugees already living there.
▪️ However, local residents seem dissatisfied with so great a number of Ukrainian refugees being concentrated in their area.
▪️ Irish Integration Minister Roderic O'Gorman was forced to face the protesters, and tried to placate the disgruntled Dubliners by outlining the "difficult international situation".
▪️ However, according to other reports, the reason Dublin residents were angry was that the authorities are planning to accommodate migrants from troubled countries such as Afghanistan, Somalia and Nigeria.
▪️ Although none of the East Wall asylum seekers are Ukrainian, the Government estimates that 55,000 people from that country will need state accommodation by the end of December.

Why US 2022 Midterms Reinvigorated Fraud Suspicions
The November 2022 midterms once again prompted suspicions of election irregularities and apparent fraud among US conservatives following inexplicable glitches in voting equipment, long queues, and delays in ballot tallying.
The left-leaning mainstream media are celebrating what they call the failure of the much anticipated "red wave": the GOP took the House by a narrow margin, while the Dems managed to maintain their control of the Senate.
However, some Republican voters suggest that instead of stealing the GOP's thunder, the Dems simply "stole" the votes via illicit schemes. The situation is exacerbated by the fact that the 2020 presidential election, which saw eleventh hour changes to voting rules due to COVID-19 and Joe Biden's subsequent victory in a number of swing states by a slim margin, left many questions unanswered.
