5+ min ago (716+ words) In the aftermath of a deadly terror attack at a Hanukkah celebration on Sydney's Bondi Beach, Dionne Taylor, a senior figure in the community, says the most painful reality is that the violence did not come without warning. "We have been completely let down by our government," Taylor, the communications manager of the Australia/Israel Jewish Affairs Council, told Fox News Digital in a Zoom interview. "We warned them that this snowball effect was going to happen, and it was only a matter of time before someone got killed." Police said the suspected attackers were a father and his adult son. The father was killed at the scene, while the son was shot by police and taken to a hospital in critical condition.

Read more: Villagers need indoor sports that provide protection from skin cancer I agree with letter regarding having permanent table tennis room at Everglades. In fact there should be a permanent facility in every recreation center where there are pickleball courts and other activities. It is beneficial to have an indoor sports activity where we won't get sun stroke or skin cancer. Hacienda Recreation Center is the only place with a permanent facility although it is called a "multipurpose room." It has open play everyday which is what we need. Some other recreational centers might only have two tables in a crowded game room or just a couple days of play per week for 3 hours. It's not as accessible as the outdoor…...

8+ min ago (167+ words) A damsel in distress fended off a knife-wielding attacker while her male companion hid behind a wall. Two young backpackers chatted at the entrance of a bank or something like it in Colombia when a thug with a weapon was caught on security camera footage. The thief tried to slash the woman's backpack off her body, but she clawed and shoved at him as her fast-of-foot companion fled outside and ducked behind a wall, watching from a distance. The companion, a clown world redheaded wimp, never came to her aid, even after four Good Samaritans ran to help her and one beat the thug to the ground with his motorcycle helmet. At least there are still some real men left, and they probably aren't liberals. He finally came out from behind the wall to comfort her after the danger passed....

8+ min ago (834+ words) In Dissent is a recurring series by Anastasia Boden on Supreme Court dissents that have shaped (or reshaped) our country. A month later, the newly reconfigured NLRB ruled against Noel Canning, a Pepsi-Cola bottler and distributor, in a labor dispute after the company failed to execute a collective-bargaining agreement with a union. Noel Canning argued that the decision was illegitimate because three NLRB members had been unlawfully appointed back in January. Eventually the dispute made its way to the Supreme Court. The recess appointments clause was borne out of necessity. In the founding era, Congress would leave the Capitol for months at a time via horseback. Thus, a vacancy that arose in mid-April might otherwise stay open until Congress reconvened in December. So the Framers devised a solution: a stopgap to keep the government functioning when Congress was literally out…...
