Wired headline says Trump regime is building "master database" to spy on immigrants. That's bad enough (and totally illegal). But the real story is that the regime and its Big Tech partners in this crime are building the database to track ALL OF US […]

He has to watch out - if the Adelaide coach doesn't use his press conference to talk about how fortunate they were to never get pinged for holding the ball in the crucial goals they scored, then people (not me*) might accuse him of hypocrisy #afl *Ok, me.
