How do you like your eggs? Whatever your preference, avoid the ones smuggled across the border.
Attempts to smuggle eggs from Mexico or Canada can result in fines of up to $10,000 (£8,140), officials warn.
And yet, soaring egg prices in the US have tempted many to cross the border, where it can be bought for half the price, to bring back the delicate cargo,
Seizures at border posts have spiked by more than 100%.
A seemingly innocuous crossword clue in an ABC magazine has been blasted as ‘hate speech’ by a breast surgeon, sparking a furious backlash.
Dr Rhea Liang, who is a clinical associate professor at Queensland’s Bond University, tweeted her dismay at finding the crossword in a February edition of Gardening Australia asking for a five-letter word that meant ‘adult human female’.
She argues the obvious answer ‘woman’ discriminates against those born with male sex organs who identify as female.
A San Francisco art gallery owner who sprayed a homeless woman with a hose has been arrested, police have said.
Collier Gwin, 71, has been charged with misdemeanour battery, after a video of him spraying the woman outside his gallery on 9 January caused outrage.
He faces up to six months in prison and a $2,000 (£1,600) fine, the city’s district attorney said.
Mr Gwin has since apologised for his actions, describing them as indefensible.

Six months after National Defence claimed it was shutting down efforts to collect social media data of Canadians, the military was back again developing new technology to accomplish such tasks.
Defence firms and other companies were given almost $10 million to develop new ways to analyze social media and sift through accounts.
Is it me or is there just a lot more crap than ususal going on in Canada this week?
Trudeau’s natural gas snubbing of Japan and Germany is really bad policy for Canadians
Having shown Germany the back of his hand in August when Chancellor Olaf Scholz asked to buy some of Canada’s abundant natural gas, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau repeated the performance only two weeks into 2023 — this time snubbing the people of Japan.
Trudeau views the world much like a not very bright teenager. Magic thinking is no way to run a country. Canadians will pay and pay and pay for this madness.

“As we approach the one-year anniversary of the so-called ‘Freedom Convoy,’ the last thing we need is a spokesperson of the far-right taking centre stage in our city,” said Jaime Sadgrove, manager of communications and advocacy for the Canadian Centre for Gender and Sexual Diversity, one of 36 local organizations calling for the cancellation of the event in an open letter.
Housing Minister Ahmed Hussen used $93,050 in constituency funds for public relations help from a foodie communications firm with a connection to a former senior staffer, public records show.
House of Commons rules permit MPs to use constituency funds for professional communications work, but Hussen is one of just a handful of cabinet ministers who spent a significant amount on public relations contracts over the past three years.
Because Canada needed an MP for Mogadishu.
“After a thorough review of the evidence and the laws of the state of New Mexico, I have determined that there is sufficient evidence to file criminal charges against Alec Baldwin and other members of the ‘Rust’ film crew,” Carmack-Altwies said Thursday. “On my watch, no one is above the law, and everyone deserves justice.”
He’ll still get off easy. Real easy.
Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed will both be charged “in the alternative,” meaning the jury will decide which of the two charges — involuntary manslaughter or involuntary manslaughter in the commission of a lawful act — they are or are not guilty of. Both felony charges hold a maximum prison sentence of 18 months and a fine of up to $5,000.

Justin Trudeau’s government has introduced some of the strictest guidelines on alcohol consumption in the West, just weeks before Canada will legalise heroin and crack cocaine in parts of the country.
The government is recommending Canadians have no more than two drinks per week. The new advice is a steep drop from the previous recommendation of a maximum of 10 drinks a week for women and 15 drinks for men.

The Chinese Consulate in Vancouver asked the province in 2014 to give to a Vancouver-based NGO the driver’s licences of Chinese nationals who had surrendered them in exchange for B.C. licences, according to internal government documents.
The revelation comes amid heightened scrutiny of China’s overseas operations after reports emerged that the communist regime is operating unofficial police service stations abroad.

Fifteen years ago, I died in a Leopard 2 tank.
Fortunately for me, it was only a simulated death. I was riding in an open turret during a mock battle at the German Army Combat Training Centre near Berlin. It was an experience that impressed upon me how terrifying these machines can be.
The 62-tonne behemoth charged across the countryside at 70 kilometres per hour, knocking trees down like matchsticks.
Justin sounds like Germany’s Scholz and likely wants the US to send tanks first.
