If it weren't for gov't meddling they'd be able to pay the athletes who participate in profitable collegiate sports - mainly football, and to a much smaller extent basketball.

Not that they want to, but Title IX gives the NCAA a pretty easy out.

US spying on European allies is not acceptable, says France's Macron
French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday that wiretapping allies was not acceptable after reports that the US National Security Agency (NSA) had spied on European allies.

Mr Macron said France and Germany were seeking full clarity on what happened.

"This is not acceptable amongst allies", he told a news conference after a virtual Franco-German meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

It follows calls from other politicians for Denmark to explain why its foreign secret service allegedly helped the US spy on European leaders, including Ms Merkel, more than seven years ago.
One could argue amongst America first, ramped up trade disputes, shameless intrusion into national policies, and alleged moves to dissolve NATO etc, the US is hardly an ally anymore.
During all Trump's reign we had an ambassador for about 1 year who was a disaster. And we still don't got a new one.

One more reason we have to be friendly with China and it paves the way for them to supersede the US as main power.
It is what it is.

But to be clear this is Dems and repubs alike. This "incident" was under Obama.

Apart from anything else, Biden is at least behaving in a manner befitting the office of the POTUS and not some petulant clown.
I was so tired of the endless circus.

He's a career politician.

He knows it's about what you say and how you say it - and it has nothing to do with what you actually do.

Although I find I do just as much cringing when Biden stumbles through his pressers as I did with Trump. Different reasons of course. Trump was a bombastic asshole who had no filter. Biden is a geriatric mess who would struggle ordering a pizza.

Well, as long as no one feels icky, that's what really matters.

I give Trump points because I appreciate a good grift.

Conservatives more susceptible to believing falsehoods
“Both liberals and conservatives tend to make errors that are influenced by what is good for their side,” said Kelly Garrett, co-author of the study and professor of communication at The Ohio State University.

“But the deck is stacked against conservatives because there is so much more misinformation that supports conservative positions. As a result, conservatives are more often led astray.”

EXCLUSIVE-U.S. to give ransomware hacks similar priority as terrorism, official says
The U.S. Department of Justice is elevating investigations of ransomware attacks to a similar priority as terrorism in the wake of the Colonial Pipeline hack and mounting damage caused by cyber criminals, a senior department official told Reuters.

Internal guidance sent on Thursday to U.S. attorney’s offices across the country said information about ransomware investigations in the field should be centrally coordinated with a recently created task force in Washington.

“It’s a specialized process to ensure we track all ransomware cases regardless of where it may be referred in this country, so you can make the connections between actors and work your way up to disrupt the whole chain,” said John Carlin, acting deputy attorney general at the Justice Department.
