Law enforcement is glamorous work!
Internally smuggling fentanyl is extremely dangerous and is not worth your life or freedom. CBP officers in Texas seized 132.4g of fentanyl concealed in the rectum of a U.S. citizen. He passed two condom-wrapped bundles and faces charges for the failed smuggling attempt. Read…
I just saw this posted. It reminded me of when I was about 13, and a neighbor girl came over in a bikini. That was the first moment I realized that females were super awesomely special. To think of her now being even older than me is just so painful!

The UK must immediately recognise Palestinian statehood. There can be no two state solution if there is no viable state left to call Palestine.

In Ballina, County Mayo a property earmarked for migrants has burnt to the ground. Hat tip @TheLiberal_ie.

The Fed should be in a nondescript building in a business park, filled with ordinary cubicles so the math wonks can do their calculations and analysis like the rest of the wonks of the world. The idea of such a Taj Mahal is supremely offensive.
The Fed is spending $2.5 BILLION on marble palaces and rooftop terraces while Americans are crushed by inflation. Even Trump called it a fireable offense. It’s time to END the Fed. foxbusiness.com/economy/see-it…
