Deadly strikes on boats in the Caribbean under what legal authority? The White House never stated one, but it leaked.

Apparently the answer is a lawyer wrote down something that amounts to drugs are weapons so the president can kill whoever he says is moving drugs, without evidence or review.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

Sport Ireland CEO: 'We have no anti-doping jurisdiction over Irish schools' rugby' The possibility that performance enhancers are being used within schools’ rugby has been raised in the media recently but without any evidence and there is currently no way to detect it given that Spo...

I always find it a bit odd when Irish journalists have a pop at South African rugby and PEDs, especially when it comes to any mention of drug testing in schools, like during Craven Week.

They are actually finding positive tests at that age grade, whereas we don't test at that level at all.

Pretty much all of them. Bradley largely didn’t use them. Not a terribly bright move, IMO.

[Generally, letting the British tinker with an American design was an absolute winner; putting a 17-pounder in a Sherman to create the Firefly, putting a Merlin in a P51 to create the Mustang.]

The new Supreme Court term starts today, meaning that -- in a novel twist -- the justices will hear oral arguments in some cases before they issue rulings that actually explain what they are doing.

Once politics becomes viewed as a hegemonic zero sum game rather than a pathway to dealmaking needed for relaxed coexistence you have a potential path to civil war
