When Eamon Stack’s “slean” struck a piece of bog oak, while turf cutting in a bog in attached to his father’s farm at Kilmoyley, Co. Kerry. He did not now that a, treasure lay within it, for the men in Dublin who probe the secrets of Ireland’s story before books were written Eamon lifted the bog-oak. To his surprise it was a box. And within it were four strange ornaments—bracelets that must have graced the hands of a queen, lovely garlands of glittering gold. Clasping his find he ran back to the house.

SISTERS: The Poor Clares are an enclosed religious community-based in Drumshanbo Co Leitrim. In recent years when numbers fell, some feared the convent could close, they Nuns prayed for vocations, as they always did and those prayers were answered when three Professed Filipino Poor Clare Sisters joined the community in Drumshanbo, Co Leitrim. The Monastery was built in 1864, and in March 2020 the convent will celebrate 150 years of unbroken Perpetual Adoration. On this very special show, Mike Mulvihill meets all seven sisters, and he also speaks with Bishops Francis Duffy & Colm O’ Reilly as well author Margaret V Horan and Priests Fr. Frankie Murray, Fr Tony Gilhooly & Fr Peter Burke, with thanks also going to Sister Helen Keegan and Sister Mary Doherty as well as John Flynn and Fr Eamonn O’ Connor.

BIDEN: Perhaps most disappointing is that Biden succumbed to this reversal under political pressure from his party rivals, particularly Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Kamala Harris of California. Warren had a fit over this issue. Choking back tears, filled with anger, she insisted to an emotional audience that Hyde be reversed. “Understand this,” said Warren, voice trembling. “Women of means will still have access to abortions. Who won’t will be poor women.” As for Kamala Harris, click here to watch her on July 31, 2019, attack Biden for supporting Hyde, which she said was “unacceptable.” Biden by then had flipped on Hyde, but Harris was still fuming.
In a display of political-personal cowardice — which is especially disconcerting given that he will be inaugurated president — Joe Biden allowed himself to be browbeaten by these strident abortion activists in his party. He abandoned the unborn (and taxpayers) he had once defended through Hyde and abandoned the teaching of his Catholic faith as well, to appease Warren and Harris and angry progressives.

Research, not to mention anecdotal observation, shows that a lot of narcissists end up in leadership positions. That’s because the qualities narcissism enlarges into extremes — confidence, assertiveness, a sense of destiny — help people rise to the top.
