Who'd stop riots without Trump?
Police in Los Angeles finally began moving to disperse the anti-ICE rioters late on June 7 — after President Trump announced he was sending in the National Guard. NY Post editorial page editor Mark Cunningham shares this story. Until then, cops were under orders to stand down as the 'mostly peaceful protesters' hurled rocks, bricks and fireworks at federal agents — also torching vehicles and physically blocking ICE enforcement actions.

Hamas cease-fire counteroffer: Let us survive
Hamas on May 31 announced it had 'responded to' the latest ceasefire proposal from US envoy Steve Witkoff, apparently seeking assurances that Israel won't simply go back to eliminating it when the 60-day pause is up. Reality check: The terrorists are only talking because they're losing, badly — losing whatever support they had from ordinary Gazans as well as militarily. NY Post editorial page editor Mark Cunningham shares this story.

Detroit Tigers series with the Yankees rescheduled
Photo by Mark Cunningham/MLB Photos via Getty Images As a rookie old guy who has spent most of his life in southern Michigan, I can tell you winter isn't what it used to be. We used to dig tunnels across our yards, complete with ice caves suitable for reenacting various scenes from the Empire Strikes Back, and that didn't even compare with the classic blizzard of '78. Advertisement Every once in a while though, we still get a throwback Michigan winter as we somewhat did this year. It was snowy, it was cold, and it went on a long while. It also won't quite quit. We're well into April and temperatures for Monday night's matchup with the New York Yankees were tracking toward freezing temps at game time. The same holds true for Tuesday. As a result, the Tigers-Yankees series in Comerica Park has had game times adjusted to afternoon starts to try and complete them before it gets colder as the sun goes down. As a result, instead of a 6:40 p.m. ET start time on Monday, first pitch is rescheduled to 3:10 p.m. ET. On Tuesday and Wednesday, first pitch will be moved to 1:10 p.m. ET. I'm not sure it's actually going to help that much, however. Expect game time temperatures in the low-to-mid 30's if you're going to be in attendance. As they say, there's no bad weather, only the wrong clothing choices. We like to think of ourselves as a hardy folk, not like those soft southerners—inserts older guy lecture about how you have to understand that driving on snow and ice is like operating your fishing boat—so fans will have to show out anyway. The Detroit Tigers are out to a 5-4 start and fresh off a very satisfying sweep of the Chicago White Sox. Spencer Torkelson's walkoff double to win on Sunday put us right back in the Gritty Tigs mindset from last summer. That style of baseball is going to be required to overcome some tough hitting and pitching conditions. Advertisement Casey Mize, Tarik Skubal, and Jack Flaherty are all set to start for the Tigers against the Yankees, so the pitching matchups are overall slightly in their favor with Mize pitching this well. Let's hope it plays out that way. Shout out to the schedulers for giving the Tigers a warm weather start and pushing the home opener back into April when potentially the temperatures would be nice and mild. Michigan mocks your best laid plans. More from

Gloucester mayor's medal marks independent cinema's 10th birthday
An independent cinema has celebrated its 10th anniversary with a special weekend of film Sherborne Cinema in Gloucester is known for its art-deco interior, and for a single member of staff selling the tickets, drinks and snacks as well as starting the Mark Cunningham marked the occasion by showing his favourite movie, Cinema Paradiso, a foreign language film about how a man fulfils his dream by opening a cinema, along with other classics including Lady in a Van and was presented with a Mayor's Medal and certificate for his "outstanding service to the city". Mr Cunningham bought the building, which dates back to 1880, in Kingsholm after noticing it being advertised by an estate agent."I looked at it and thought it was a lovely building," he said. "I liked its arched windows. I thought 'I'm having that' and so when the deal for the Christadelphian church to buy it fell through I became the owner of a semi-derelict building."Mr Cunningham previously worked at the Palace Theatre cinema in Cinderford, and the Guildhall in Gloucester."There was an itch to have a go and it was an opportunity that was too good to miss," he explained. Between 2012 and 2014 he installed the art-deco interior, for which the Sherborne Cinema is well known."When I started it was just a cream box. I knew I wanted to get some colour into it," he said."There are classic cinema colours, purples, browns, deep reds." In the entrance foyer of the cinema is an art-deco clock from the auditorium has statues from the same era and ceiling chandeliers."There are even my mum's old velvet curtains to dampen the sound," added Mr Cunningham."The decor doesn't add to the film, but it gets people ready for an experience. You want a classical feel to add to the nostalgia."Mr Cunningham said it was difficult for the business to survive through the Covid-19 pandemic. "I run this as a labour of love," he said. "As I own the building, the running costs are low which helped during Covid. "I had faith to keep going and come out the other side."
