In a hilarious Reddit post, which can be seen here, user PapaCologne wrote that he kicked his Australian shepherd-border collie mix, Callie, out of his office to attend a couple of meetings. The American Kennel Club (AKC) advised that, given the Australian shepherd’s history as a working dog, it might not be a pet for everyone. The AKC added: “This strong work drive can make Aussies too much dog for a sedentary pet owner....

All available evidence suggests that the dog contracted the illness from its owners who had previously tested positive for COVID, according to a U.K. government press release. The dog’s case was confirmed by the U.K. chief veterinary officer Christine Middlemiss following tests on November 3. The pet was undergoing treatment for another unrelated condition at the time and is now said to be recovering at home. There is no evidence to suggest that the dog transferred the disease to its owners....

Chris Laundrie, the father of Brian Laundrie, who is still missing and wanted by the FBI, accompanied law enforcement officials to search Florida’s Carlton Reserve to search for his son this week. Dog the Bounty Hunter—whose real name is Duane Chapman—and a team have been leading a high-profile search for Brian Laundrie, who is wanted as a person of interest in the homicide of his fiance Gabby Petito. The reality TV star’s daughter Lyssa Chapman is part of the team searching for Laundrie....

The meme-inspired cryptocurrency’s value has shot up by around 80 percent over the last 24 hours and was up by 85 percent at 3 a.m. on Friday. Dogecoin reached an all-time high of $0.298316 late on Thursday night. Dogecoin emerged in 2013 as a joke when Jackson Palmer and Billy Markus transformed the doge meme into a cryptocurrency to satirize the growing popularity of altcoins, according to Coindesk. Co-founder Billy Markus told Newsweek in March that dogecoin “was made in about three hours, with the bulk of that time customizing the look of the client....

In footage posted to TikTok by Myaussietribe, we can see a pair of Australian Shepherds sitting together on a sandy beach. One of the fluffy pooches has brown and white markings, while the other is has grey and white fur. The duo are filmed from behind watching the sunset, and what makes the clip even cuter is the fact that the grey dog has his arm across the other’s back, as though they are locked in a romantic moment....

The move comes amid the growing pressure on President Joe Biden’s administration to review GOP-backed laws the several states passed in this last year. For more reporting from the Associated Press, see below. As of mid-May, 22 restrictive laws had passed in at least 14 states, according to the Brennan Center for Justice, which researches voting and supports expanded access. The increased enforcement of voting rights laws also signals that Biden and Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke—who was one of the nation’s leading civil rights attorneys before her nomination to lead the department’s civil rights division—are making good on a promise to refocus the department around civil rights after a tumultuous four years during the Trump administration....

What Israel had to do to defend itself would one day serve to defend the free democratic world as a whole. While on the campaign trail, President Joe Biden has made clear that he would like to renegotiate the JCPOA, the Iranian nuclear deal of 2015. We would all prefer to live in a world where diplomacy and negotiations could substitute for armed conflict. However, that is not the world we inhabit....

Hillerman’s tale about Norman Maclean’s classic collection of stories might sound too good to be true if there were not so many other Westerners with similar tales. Historian Patricia Limerick tells of giving a speech in Casper, Wyo. “The week after, the man who’d invited me told me that his barber, his garage mechanic and his dental technician had all talked to him about my speech.” Without a doubt, the West is in the midst of a don’t-fence-us-in literary explosion comparable to the Southern literary renaissance in the ’30s....

In 2016, Eastwood spoke to Esquire about the election between Trump and then-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. The Hollywood icon and lifelong Republican previously said Trump “said a lot of dumb things,” but thought that voters should “get over it” and vote him in. “I’d have to go for Trump,” he explained to Esquire at the time. “You know, ‘cause [Hillary’s] declared that she’s gonna follow in Obama’s footsteps. There’s been just too much funny business on both sides of the aisle....

High-speed connections present an easy target for hackers because they are “always on,” thus giving mischief-makers more time to find you and attack your PC. Even though hard numbers don’t exist, the hacker threat is real. Security experts estimate that there are a couple thousand elite hackers around the world, of the sort skilled enough to have created the Code Red II worm that infected 200,000 Web servers last week....

Comebacks are rare and often painful to watch. Earlier this year, a 20-year-old Jennifer Capriati struggled to get back on the women’s tennis circuit. In interviews, she seemed ready to move beyond the shoplifting charges and marijuana bust that had transformed her from a 14-year-old with six-figure endorsements to what one writer described as “the poster child for a sport gone astray.” But in June, Capriati withdrew from Wimbledon, saying she “wasn’t ready....

By “true extremists” I mean anyone who uses, threatens or advocates violence to achieve their objectives. But the threat of such extremism pales in comparison to the threat to our First Amendment rights that will result if we allow anti-extremism efforts to be weaponized against entire classes of people just because those in authority disapprove of their religious or political views. When I joined the Marine Corps, I was thrust into a strange new environment in which I was surrounded by people who held attitudes, beliefs and ideologies very different from my own....

As horror stories emerge from the standards movement, usually involving testing, there is a natural impulse just to abolish tests. No tests, no horror stories, right? The trouble with this as a solution is that without tests, it’s impossible to tell whether kids are learning in school. It is possible, in a rarefied little corner of America where a lot of the national leadership lives, to believe that public education has become an iffy proposition –that public schools in this country are teetering on the brink of a general system failure....

On Tuesday, the White House informed House Democrats it will not cooperate with their inquiry in any way, after subpoenas were issued Friday for documents related to President’s July 25 phone call with Ukraine (subpoenas were also issued on Monday to the Pentagon and The Office of Management and Budget about freezing foreign aid for Ukraine). The U.S. ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland, whose text messages about Ukraine were released last week, was scheduled to testify, but his appearance was blocked by the State Department which then, surprise surprise, led to more subpoenas....

Trump’s order calls for the banning of training centered on the concept that some individuals are superior because of their race or sex. Federal grant money will no longer be used to fund such training. “A few weeks ago, I BANNED efforts to indoctrinate government employees with divisive and harmful sex and race-based ideologies,” President Trump tweeted. “Today, I’ve expanded that ban to people and companies that do business with our Country, the United States Military, Government Contractors, and Grantees....

Trump claimed Bloomberg was “going nowhere” and “just wasting his money” as he lashed out at his rival following the revelation that the billionaire spent more than $200 million of his own money in the two months after his late entry into the race into the presidential race, according to The New York Times. The revelation appeared to prompt Trump to target Bloomberg on Twitter, accusing him of using his vast fortune to pay for attack ads and claiming he was “getting the DNC to rig the election” against Bernie Sanders....

The league will simply step over it should that election promise ever come to pass. NFL executive vice president/International Mark Waller told Sporting News that the upcoming Trump presidency has no immediate effect on the league’s plans to continue staging games in Mexico despite the possibility of escalating friction between that country and the U.S. regarding governmental issues like immigration, deportation and trade agreements. WATCH: Waller, SN sit down for telling interview...
