    I don't think there is a US edition, at least not on paper. There is
    a special Irish edition, though.

    I strongly suggest you look to learn from a variety of sources.

    Is Biden still "fit as a fiddle"?
    Is the Hunter Biden laptop Russian disinformation?
    Do Americans still think biological boys in girls sports is fine?
    Do US voters still welcome millions storming across the border?

    say, "like a rug", which is to say "by nature".

    This presupposes that, at one time, he was, and then was not.
    The problem is that it is Republicans claiming otherwise, and
    Republicans have been lying like rugs for at least 3 decades now.
    Is the Hunter Biden laptop Russian disinformation?
    Which version? The "discoverer" has apparently produced several
    different versions of the allegedly alleged contents. Who can say what
    the original may or may not have contained.
    Also, isn't that getting a bit ... stale? Does anyone really care any
    more?
    Do Americans still think biological boys in girls sports is fine?
    Some certainly do. Others do not.
    Nobody seems to be proposing the obvious answer: four sets of teams.
    Or, rather, four sets of competitors, whether teams or individuals.
    Do US voters still welcome millions storming across the border?
    Did they ever? Both Republicans and Democrats have tolerated it just
    fine for decades. Lots of decades.
    The totalitarian police-state tactics currently being imposed, OTOH,

    proven lies. But the TDS 'news sources' refused to believe
    or repeat any of it. They all fell into lockstep with CNN,
    MSNBC, ABC, NBC, and CBS that Biden was "fit as a fiddle".

    So competent Democrat Dean Phillips got absolutely no aid
    in his campaign. The Democrats lined up in lockstep.
    Then came the Biden Trump debate.

    The Democrats had refused to listen to what they did not like.
    So now, they shit themselves.>

    So Paul, what conservative sources do you read?
    Who did you support during the 2024 Democratic Primary?
    Were you silent when they autocratically installed
    the word salad spewing Kamala Harris?
    And worse, she is recently proving how unable to make a
    decision she has been.
    Are you donating to her to run in 2028?

    She says she is not interested. Might like a legislative post but
    I thought she was wasted as VP when she would have been a killer
    Attorney General. But because she was a black woman she was good
    insurance against attempts to kill Biden.

    Just like the idiot Vance would protect Trump, the decrepit
    and seemingly demented would be dictator.

    Democrats generally pick competent people but not the right
    competent people necessarily to win an election.

    Trump is bent on using the military in contravention of the law
    to suppress with violence all dissent in the nation.

    Sure do. They carry more daily stories about the USA than any other
    paper in the USA.

    DOCTOR REMOVES 92% OF BRAIN TISSUE FROM IOWA MAN-- WITH SALAD TONGS!

    Okay, it's not quite WWN-bad but... it's not exactly the Financial Times. >>
    Was that a doctor or a zombie ?

    Knowing the WWN it could have been aliens or Elvis. I do kind of miss
    that paper.

    Ah ... but he recently addressed a very large number of
    Generals/Admirals and their Senior Enlisted Advisors about how the
    /real/ danger is "domestic terror" -- and how the military will be
    tasked with tackling it.
    Of course, those officers might, on reading the news, come to the
    conclusion the /main/ domestic terror threat is an organization called
    "ICE", currently spreading terror everywhere, which is headed by --
    Trump. And take action as directed.
    I wonder if being Commander-in-Chief makes Trump subject to the UCMJ?
    JAG is not bound by DOJ rules about sitting Presidents, and has long
    experience in removing unsatisfactory commanders.

    Did not pay attention to his rambling discourse to the assembled
    General Officers at Quantico, eh?
    He says the USA has been invaded by citizens who happen to be of the Democratic Party persuasion, calling middle of the road-elected
    officials Left
    Wing Democrats. Constant demonization of the opposition does a government
    no good at all. No applause for either his nor Hedseth's rantings from the audience any of whom could probably replace the Secrectary of War but do
    a much better job.

    Military audiences do not applaud official speakers. They pay
    attention.

    After putting them in danger by spreading domestic terror with ICE.
    There's the American way, and then there's the Unamerican (or even anti-American) way -- and, right now Trump and his ICE are doing the
    latter.
    The video showing an enormous number of ICE chasing a guy on a bicycle (electric) was quite funny. Particularly when it turned out he had
    baited them.
    The elevator incident was a lot less entertaining.
    And so it goes ... in Trump's anti-America.
