Check out the utter state of policing in the UK. The guys surrounded. The mob circling him are clearly the aggressors. Right. So, he's being closelined to the floor, punched in the face. Guess who the female cop decides to tackle? Oh, you just knew it was coming, didn't you? The people who attacked him get away. Then this happens. I mean, fair enough. That was pretty dumb. Some people in the comments claimed he was just reacting and didn't even know it was a copper. I don't know about that, but if she hadn't charged into the wrong guy,...

A federal appeals court just upheld a New York state ban on gas stoves, which is very strange, considering the fact that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York insisted that the ban on gas stoves wasn’t even happening. This has all been unfolding quietly in the background for about two years now. Groups which are part of the gas industry challenged the ban but a federal court just sided with the state.

A rare surviving copy of the Declaration of Independence has been discovered at The National Archives in Kew, the only known example of its kind outside the US. The document was uncovered by a volunteer in February while cataloguing the papers of Royal Navy captains from the American Revolutionary War. It is one of 11 copies printed in Exeter, New Hampshire in July 1776 to spread news of American independence through the colonies before it was seized by British forces. Volunteer Michael Scurr, recalled feeling butterflies in his stomach after he opened up the paper and realised what it was....

A woman has become the first person to be publicly caned in Indonesia's Aceh province for 'committing obscenity live with a man on social media' under its strict Sharia law. The punishment was handed down after she and her partner were accused of kissing during a TikTok livestream. Images show the woman kneeling and screaming in agony as a masked Sharia police officer repeatedly brings the cane down across her back.

I just dual booted from Linux into Windows, and Brave disabled both the FR Posting Form Enhancer and the FR Tree View.

Went and saw Supergirl with my comic loving teenager. Don’t know why other than the actresses comments in an interview this movie is being dissed around here. Nothing political. Comic loving son said character was pretty accurate. Go see it. Even pluggedin online said it was fine. We should support the efforts toward normality. Last year’s Superman was really good and sort of old school hero. Same with this movie. Nothing woke that I could find in it.

I just had four F-22s fly over our house in the Silicon Valley area by Mountain View. Very low, probably Here are a couple of stills from the NBC News Bay Area video footage. Turns out figuring out exactly who they were is tougher than it looks. No PA release names a unit, and the F-22 Demo Teams are nowhere near the West Coast right now. They are in D.C. this week and don't hit California again until Fleet Week in October. So this wasn't a demo team stop; it was almost certainly a one-off tasking for the flyover itself....

As the World Cup goes from strength to strength, millions of visitors from around the world are falling deeper in love with the United States. They came to our great hotels falling asleep with dreams of soccer victories in their heads, but they woke up to something even better than a dream—they woke up to the American Experience, one like no other in the world. One such visitor is Freddy, a great German soccer fan. But to his millions of fans, he is most well known as an exuberant fan of the United States of America. On the highways and...

Paramedics conducted CPR on an individual experiencing a “cardiac arrest” at a known address for Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on the day his office disclosed he had been hospitalized, according to police scanner audio obtained by NBC News. According to the audio, the first medic on the scene at the address began performing CPR, according to the dispatchers, and was then joined by an additional EMS team at the same address.

In 1825, a rich Welsh industrialist bought an entire American town to prove that socialism could work. He had the money, the buildings, the theory, and hundreds of eager followers waiting to move in. Two years later, it was over. 🧵

Donalds was elected to Congress in 2020. A man who missed 161 congressional votes? A congressman with virtually no meaningful legislative footprint? A politician whose public image appears exponentially larger than his measurable achievements? Then there are growing controversies and scrutiny surrounding entities tied to his wife’s business and political ecosystem, issues that critics argue directly contradict the polished “law and order” image being sold to voters.

The new CA law requires automakers to provide an easy way for consumers to get the tracking on their car shut off under certain circumstances; the carmakers say they need at least a year more to do so.

Trump just posted this. I’m howling

For two weeks, former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has been hospitalized with no update on his condition. And now this: Cocaine Mitch may have had a heart attack in his home and no one on his staff or in his family has said a word about it? This guy isn't a private citizen. He is one of the most powerful politicians in the country. He's 84. He's been falling and glitching out during interviews for several years. Why is he still in office?? This new report from the New York Post comes after they reviewed tapes from District Fire...

A ceremonial Rough Riders Troop will accompany the presidential motorcade to the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. The group on horseback will evoke the legacy of Theodore Roosevelt and the volunteer cavalry regiment that helped define his public...

A Florida woman picked up an extra felony charge when she wildly tried to smuggle nearly 4 grams of cocaine into a county jail through her “jail purse.” Brevard County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested Reagan Cox, 30, on Saturday for resisting arrest during a traffic stop. When she arrived at the Brevard County Jail, staff noticed something abnormal with Cox’s “lower region” — or her “jail purse area if you will.” Corrections deputies escorted Cox to a changing room, where she attempted “to shield” her buttocks with her hand, authorities said. When staff removed her hand, a baggie dropped to...
