President Biden traveled to another meeting of world leaders and, once again, weirdness ensued. Mr. Biden, the last of the honchos to arrive at the G7 summit in Italy on Thursday, was greeted by the host country’s prime minister, Giorgia Meloni. Upon shuffling onto the stage where Ms. Meloni waited, Mr. Biden kissed her on the head and appeared to sniff her hair. Following a brief exchange, she directed the president toward a frame bearing the G7 logo, which each leader signed with a marker. Before departing the platform, he offered an awkward salute to the prime minister.

He has also acknowledged a federal investigation into his taxes. Congress investigated Hunter Biden’s job with a Ukrainian company at the time that his father ran Ukrainian policy in the Obama administration. A Republican investigation, however, uncovered no wrongdoing by then-Vice President Biden.”

Some 18 months after being rescued from stone-throwing children, a street-dwelling mongrel has emerged as India's top dog in the country's elite bomb- and drug-sniffing squad. "Asha" - meaning "hope" in Hindi - was rescued by West Bengal police when they found her being mistreated outside their training facility. "The dog was bleeding when she was taken inside the campus," senior West Bengal Police Training Academy official Dipankar Bhattacharya told AFP. Officers originally intended keeping the mixed-breed stray as a pet, but Asha turned out to have a nose every bit as good as the German Shepherds and Labradors usually...

If you live in one of the more than 20 states where Opus Inspection, through its subsidiary Envirotest, operates emissions testing programs, you may have seen its “RapidScreen” trucks and, more lately, unmanned stations set up beside the road, scanning the tailpipe emissions of passing vehicles. You may even live in a state where receiving a clean bill of health from one of these trucks a couple of times a year can exempt you from having to present yourself and your car for an emissions test at registration time (though you still have to pay the inspection fee, naturally).

He was caught after a housewife reported him to the police. The court meted out the jail term, normally reserved for hardcore criminals, saying...

Fellow Freepers, Search for Ann Coulter's latest column, and you'll find she has catapulted herself into a more wonderfully outrageous category of originality and wit. She's done it with one catch phrase: "Jock sniffer. Please don't ask me what it means. I can't imagine what it means and I'm not sure I want to try. I'd rather leave this to many more, smarter, Freepers out there in America Land. Let's focus on this question: What, exactly, in the contect of Ann's most recent column, does this phrase (which I dare not type again) mean? Explain it for us in the...
