Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, September 28, 2026

The main parties involved in a parading dispute in Northern Ireland are still in a stalemate, following a day of political talks and heated exchanges at Stormont. Members of the Orange Order are still waiting to begin their permitted parade, which was due to take place on Sunday morning, and walk down the mainly-nationalist Garvaghy Road in Portadown.

Back in my days of working for a Top-5 Fortune 500 company, I had reported to an Executive VP of the company.

One time I saw that his actions seemed to intentionally cause disruption in another division that was separate from ours.

So I asked him, what was his purpose in doing that?

He was surprisingly blunt and candid in his reply to me ...

He told me that if he can cause chaos in that other division, then that gives him an entry point to try to take over that other division.
