Fallen police officer quotes

LONDON (AP) – The U.K.´s MI5 intelligence service on Tuesday raised the terrorism threat level in Northern Ireland´ to “severe” amid an increase in activity by dissident Irish republican militants. Severe is the second-highest rung on a five-point scale and means an attack is considered highly likely. The threat had stood one notch lower at “substantial” for the past year. Paramilitary groups in Northern Ireland laid down their arms after the 1998 Good Friday peace accord largely ended three decades of violent conflict between Irish republican and British loyalist groups and U.K. security forces that killed more than 3,600 people. But small Irish Republican Army splinter groups have continued to launch sporadic attacks on security forces. U.K. Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Heaton-Harris said that “in recent months, we have seen an increase in levels of activity relating to Northern Ireland-related terrorism, which has targeted police officers serving their communities and … [Read more...] about UK Hikes Ulster Terror Threat to ‘Severe’, Means Attack ‘Highly Likely’

Facepalm: One might imagine that with so many individuals caught smuggling hardware into China, people would decide it just wasn't worth the risk. But no. Not only has another person tried to avoid paying import taxes, but they also broke the record for the number of China-bound processors strapped to their body: an uncomfortable 239 CPUs, worth around $50,000. MyDrivers reports that the incident took place a few days ago. As is often the case, the smuggler made his way through the 'nothing to declare' lane at customs. But officials at Gongbei Port noticed he was wearing black baggy clothes. Nothing unusual there, you might think, but his appearance was said to be bloated and abnormal, which is usually a sign something is wrong. The man was taken aside by port authorities for further inspection. It was discovered that he had used the old, and rarely successful, technique of strapping computer hardware to his body. A massive 239 processors were wrapped in bags and taped to his … [Read more...] about Smuggler tries to sneak 239 CPUs past Chinese customs by strapping them to his body

Further Reading Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel gets official name, May 2023 release date For a major game that was first announced nearly four years ago and is set to launch in less than two months , we've seen remarkably little gameplay footage from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom beyond some very sparse trailers . Nintendo set out to partially fix that today, releasing a new video in which Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma showed off some of Link's new abilities in a guided 10-minute gameplay presentation. The most impactful new ability on display was called "Fuse," which lets Link put together two disparate objects to create a new one with a brand-new effect. In the simplest example of this, Aonuma fused together a basic tree branch (which breaks incredibly easily even during simple fights) with a rock, creating a makeshift hammer with a lot more power and durability. Unlike in Breath of the Wild , where Link had to hunt for the most powerful weapons, the … [Read more...] about lets you make weapons, rafts, and more from component parts

Former President Donald Trump is maintaining a double-digit lead over potential primary challenger Gov. Ron DeSantis, a recent Ipsos/Reuters survey found. The survey asked respondents who they would support in the 2024 Republican primary, listing Trump, DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former Rep. Liz Cheney, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. Among Republicans, specifically, Trump leads by 14 points — 44 percent to DeSantis’s 30 percent support. No other potential challenger comes close, as Pence comes in third place with five percent support, followed by Cheney (four percent), and Haley (three percent). Every other individual listed saw one percent support or less. Eleven percent of Republicans said they do not know who they would choose — not enough to make up for Trump’s 14-point lead among Republicans. … [Read more...] about Poll: Trump Maintains Double-Digit Lead Against DeSantis

Former Fox News star Megyn Kelly, host of the Megyn Kelly Show , criticized Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for failing to sit down for an interview on the show, speculating that he is “afraid” and lambasting many of her colleagues in the field of journalism for putting their desire to get chummy with potential presidential candidates over their job to represent their audience and seek the truth. In a clip shared Monday, Kelly revealed that her team has asked DeSantis to come on her show, but he “has not said yes.” “I find that very interesting. You know, I love Piers Morgan. He’s a pal of mine. But why would you go sit with the British guy and not come on the show?” Kelly said, speculating the true reason for it. "He's afraid. I'm just gonna put this out there – he is afraid because he knows the kind of interview that I would give him. He's not gonna get a pass." @MegynKelly reveals why Ron DeSantis won't come on The #MegynKellyShow .
