So I'm thinking here, late on a Saturday night - Is Joe Biden a Hector Salamanca character type from "Breaking Bad", going after SanFranNan, Hitlery and Barry? Needs a wheel chair and a "ring for help" bell and he's off to the DNC Convention. Just a thought.....

New video shows the moment a French woman was attacked by a dingo at a beach in K’gari, Australia. The Queensland Department of Environment and Science says the animal was "humanely euthanised" after being involved in a number of "high-risk" incidents. K'gari Island in Queensland is home to some 200 wild dingoes. There are strict rules against feeding them with heavy fines for offenders. Another dingo was euthanised earlier this month after months of attacks on the island.

Veteran country music star Travis Tritt announced Thursday he is no longer having Anheuser-Busch products on his touring hospitality rider. What’s more? Tritt says “I know many other artists who are doing the same.” The move is his personal response to the brewer signing transgender activist, Joe Biden supporter, and TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney to a lucrative endorsement deal that involved flogging its Bud Light beer. Tritt used social media to make his decision public, saying “I will be deleting all Anheuser-Busch products from my tour hospitality rider. I know many other artists who are doing the same.”

Left-wing activist Shaun(talcum X) King has become a vocal proponent for the Black Lives Matter movement, but a recent report calls into question where the money raised by his political action committee has gone. King founded the Real Justice PAC in 2017 with the goal of electing "reform-minded prosecutors" who are committed to fighting "structural racism" and defending communities from "abuse by state power," according to the PAC's website. The Washington Free Beacon reviewed the PAC's finances and found that over the past 15 months, a quarter of the money the Real Justice PAC brought in was funneled back to...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi predicted Tuesday that House Democrats would retain their majority in Congress. On her way in to meet with Democrats just returning to Capitol Hill after a six-week summer break, Pelosi told reporters she was confident in her party's chances of prevailing in November's congressional elections.

Couple from California face federal charges for alleged airborne antics ANDREA WEIGL (Raleigh) News & Observer RALEIGH - A California couple whose in-flight friskiness on the way to Raleigh was a bit much for other passengers are facing federal charges for harassing the flight attendant who asked them to stop. Carl Warren Persing and Dawn Elizabeth Sewell are scheduled to go to trial Dec. 11 at the federal courthouse in Wilmington for their behavior during a Sept. 15 flight.

A lone llama has been roaming the fields of Pitt Meadows since last week, managing to evade capture and creating a stir in the suburban community. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and residents have tried unsuccessfully to capture the llama, which has been visiting farms looking for food. Macky Bains, who owns a cranberry farm and a turf farm, says the llama has damaged his fields and overstayed its welcome. "It was running around on the grass and it was chewing up the turf, and we have got some netting on the fields to hold the...

However, the consequences of such a significant troop withdrawal have a couple of downsides, too, most of all for the Germans. One mostly overlooked but important side effect is the departure of the US troops themselves. With their visible presence of African-Americans and immigrants from Asia and Latin America, they enriched the German shopping malls and restaurants, representing a multi-ethnic society. If they are gone, German society will lose a bit of color, so to speak. This step will play into the hands of right wing xenophobes whose aim is to purify the German nation. Here, by accident, the goal...

January 16, 2004, 7:12 a.m. How Much Does Dean Get? The frontrunner's understanding of the terror threat. By Joel C. Rosenberg It's easy, indeed tempting, for Republicans to write off Howard Dean as "another McGovernite Democrat who can't win." Maybe he can't. But stranger things have happened. Think back a decade. How many Republicans really believed on the eve of the 1992 Iowa caucuses that Bill and Hillary Clinton would control the White House and the U.S. national-security apparatus for the next eight years? That said, it's time for the media to turn up the heat and require Dean to...
