Prince Harry has appeared in court to argue that he was unfairly treated when his automatic taxpayer-funded police protection was withdrawn following his decision to step back from royal duties.
Let me see if I got this straight, Harry quits his day job, marries the Princess Meghan, moves to California - then complains he doesn't get job benefits anymore.

Everyone knew Ukraine had a neo-Nazi, far right, or whatever problem. Before the war this was openly discussed. Now it is Russian propaganda or Putin talking points ...

Wouldn't surprise me ...
JD Vance was right about Europe:
"For years we've been told everything we fund and support is in the name of our shared democratic values, everything from our Ukraine policy to digital censorship is billed as a defence of democracy, but when we see European courts cancelling elections and senior officials threatening to cancel others we ought to ask ourselves if we are holding ourselves to an appropriately high standard." (February 2025)
This is how it has been going ...

Starmer pledges to ban Ninja swords by the summer, taking bold action.
I have doubts!
If Ninja swords are the problem, does it not stand to reason that Japan would
have more stabbings than the UK?
Me thinks it is not a Ninja sword problem.
It's the Ninjas.What are your thoughts?

The total cost of reconstructive surgeries, which would amount to a significant figure, exemplifies the importance of access to advanced medical care in such critical situations.
Couldn't the story have had a fisherman getting bitten by a shark while nudging the reader to buy extensive medical insurance coverage?

"Acting Social Security commissioner Leland Dudek said Friday that he is consulting with agency lawyers and the Justice Department as he threatens to shut down the agency in response to a court ruling blocking Elon Musk’s team from accessing sensitive taxpayer data."
I thought it was illegal for even the President to shutdown an agency, plenty of court rulings of late ordering employee re-hires, etc, etc, He is clearly confused about the court order.
Mr. Dudek seems exasperated about how to proceed with DOGE being blocked access to fulfill their mandate. He has no authority to shut SSA down and has subsequently backtracked on his remarks after receiving clarification about the court order.
You can stop the hand wringing over a SSA shutdown or carry on, your choice.
It is not the Admins policy and would be political suicide.
I suggest ignoring such nonsense.-

Very sad that the chainsaw man has appealed to Trump to boost Tesla .
Why are you pretending that this is something new?
Where were you when Biden was the EV car salesman?

I think the word you're looking for is steal the frozen assets. If that happens it can't be good for the EU or the Euro. Imagine how many countries, companies and high net worth individuals might just decide it not safe to keep money in the EU banking system.
We'll just have to wait and see

1 hour ago, CanadaSam said:In view of the treaty signed in Budapest in 1994, the US agreed to help and defend Ukraine against any military invasion by any party.
Can the Supreme Court in the US now take up this issue on an urgent basis, and rule that the US has to immediately re-instate all military aid?
In other words, can the Supreme Court rule against Trump's knee-jerk reaction to a petty personal squable, to save lives in the Ukraine?
No, it is not recognized as a Treaty. The Budapest Memorandum, signed in 1994, was never ratified by the U.S. Senate, a prerequisite for a treaty to become part of U.S. domestic law under Article VI of the Constitution (the Supremacy Clause). Without ratification, it doesn’t have the status of "supreme Law of the Land" that would allow its provisions to be directly enforced or challenged in U.S. courts. It’s an executive agreement, binding only as a political commitment, not a legal one within the U.S. system.

Yes, it was Hunter's. Aww. Too bad. He's been pardoned. Awww.
That does not prevent Hunter or anyone else that was pardoned by Biden from being compelled to testify in any investigation. They also can no longer utilize the 5th amendment to avoid responding.
Anyone that was pardoned and offers false testimony under oath can be charged with perjury, a new crime, not covered by their pardon.-

The initiative stems from constitutional Section 160, which stipulates qualifications for cabinet ministers, requiring them to exhibit clear honesty and a clean ethical record.
She should resign, she is just a stand-in for her exiled/disgraced father concern trolling the public about honesty and ethics in politics.
One can have hopes and dreams ... 🙈

Oh, thanks for pointing out that DOGE needs to "double down" and cut deeper to reach their $1T budget savings target. I support this sentiment. Slash more!!

Every public service tends to get loaded up with too many drones. The more people managers hire under them the higher they rise.They definitely need a purge but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Some perform essential services that need to continue.
I agree with your sentiment ... there is no indication that anyone is actually going to read the replies that workers send. More like a "pulse check" and rooting out of people that "resist" such a simple request.
I really want to believe there are hard working people at some of these agencies but the media is making that difficult by amplifying only the dumbest, most malcontent of them.

This sounds about right to me ... most of the most beautiful beaches and destinations were a great source of adventure decades ago. Now they have been replaced by glass steel and concrete ... is this progress?, many might disagree. But there is no going back.
