Trump calls for fewer holidays urging Americans to work harder after spending 22% of second term golfing

Trump calls for fewer holidays urging Americans to work harder after spending 22% of second term golfing. Some said the call for fewer federal holidays was intentionally made on Juneteenth, a day celebrating the end of slavery and acknowledging continuing Black struggle in America. Trump celebrated Juneteenth in all four years of his first presidential term and once said that he made the 150-year-old holiday "very famous" 🖋️🤖

LA Cop drafted to IDF after shooting journalist – The Chaser

A member of the Los Angeles Police Department has announced a major career change, saying they have been drafted into the IDF. This comes after the cop was seen on camera shooting Australian journalist Lauren Tomasi. We need to see how they react to humanitarian workers, doctors, kids, Greta Thunberg… I mean terrorists. Terrorists.”“Plus they even got the media to use a passive voice and not identifying who did it despite doing it on camera. They have the exact skills we look for in a soldier.”In response to the shooting, the Australian government has written a statement expressing ‘grave concerns’ about what happened and attached it to their next AUKUS cheque. 🖊️️🤖

Penrith firefighters rescue 'on-the-run' sheep from roof

A sheep and three lambs were rescued from the roof of a house after they escaped from a field and tried to avoid being caught by police. Penrith Fire Station manager Darren Wright said he and his crew were "baffled" when they arrived at the two-storey property in Graham Street, just before 11:00 BST, and were greeted by the sight of the animals up high. With the assistance of a local farmer, ladders and reaching poles, they managed to bring them down to safety and return them to a field. Mr Wright said the escaped family had climbed on to a section of roof at the back of the house, which was 2ft (0.6m) off the ground, "to get away from police" who had been called to help round them up. 🖊️️🤖

She chose another radical leftist. He got married on the anniversary of Tiananmen Square. However, there is no evidence to suggest that he engaged in any political activity during his time there, which did coincide with the Tiananmen Square massacre, an event he found deeply shocking, the trip coming some 16 years before his first foray into politics. They did marry on the fifth anniversary of Tiananmen Square, June 4, 1994, and spent their honeymoon in China with 60 students in tow as part of a class trip. 🖊️️🤖
