One of the reasons they're having trouble concocting a Left Wing Terrorism epidemic is basically nobody in this country has ever met a left wing person. You might as well say we're being invaded by the smurfs

Cummins injury shakes up Australia's Ashes planning

With the prospect of captain Pat Cummins being fit for the Ashes receding by the day, Australia's hopes of retaining the urn may rest on managing one of the biggest shake-ups to their leadership and bowling against England in years.

This is a very clever way of dealing with the current flag controversy: www.dublininquirer.com/to-add-to-th...

To “add to the noise”, a designer creates new, welcoming flags

As the council considers whether to take down the tricolours proliferating across the city, Dan Eames is aiming to add to them.

The thing is, they have usually asked it the wrong question, or a question so general that the response is meaningless.

This is the thing. You end up working backwards to what the question must have been to produce such a bad answer.

No, although the UK's opening times are weird and seem to have been set by Calvinists in the 1800s.

I think that's right, although it has a footprint that is holding out and vociferous. Even now.

One of the basic points in my new Dispatch piece on the right to record immigration raids and raiders is that ICE agents are already informally “enforcing” their disapproval of at-the-scene recording by roughing up journalists, freelance photographers, and others with cellphone cameras. /1

New from me at The Dispatch: DHS says it's illegal to videotape ICE agents. That's not what the courts say. @thedispatchmedia.bsky.social

DHS Says Videotaping ICE Agents Is Illegal. Federal Courts Disagree.

Filming law enforcement serves important goals central to a free republic.
