Friday night I gave my first event speech (in German) for the Volksbildungswerk Nordenstadt-Erbenheim-Delkenheim's 40th-anniversary celebration. It went well. (I took over the reins as managing director last month.)

One man’s obsessive quest to uncover Brazil’s buried Nazi past
The story of Brazil’s fugitive Nazis is clouded by uncertainty and conspiracy theories. But one local journalist is convinced he is closing in on the truth.

Jeffrey Epstein advised Steve Bannon that the lawyers representing Brett Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing should accuse Christine Blasey Ford of being on medications that cause false memories or memory loss.

I don't think legacy media is reading the room correctly on the Epstein Files. Many of us are asking why they have ignored this story for the last decade? Why did they dismiss all of us who were concerned that Trump might be compromised? And where is their fucking contrition and apology now?

The WSJ on how unbelievably stupid Noem and Lewandowski are.

I don’t care that I’m late to this; it’s to good to pass up.

www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
More broadly, officials across ICE say Noem and Lewandowski have directed them to use a $170 billion infusion of cash from Congress to launch splashy ideas that have proven ineffective or impractical. Among the examples some ICE officials have cited: A few weeks ago, the pair ordered ICE officials to buy 10 737 jets from Spirit Airlines that they said would be used to boost deportation flights— and for their own travel, according to people familiar with the matter. Some officials warned the pair that the effort would be prohibitively expensive compared with hiring more flight contractors, the people said. Once the officials looked into the proposal, they learned that Spirit, which filed for bankruptcy for a second time in August, didn't own the planes. The planes also don't have engines, which would need to be purchased separately. The project has since been put on pause, though DHS recently purchased two Gulfstream jets for $200 million, according to Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee, who were notified by the department. A spokesperson for Spirit didn't respond to a request for comment.

I was featured in the local paper, the "Wiesbadener Kurier," on Wednesday.

I put an English translation of the article in the Alt-Text area of the first screen capture.
Dallman Ross is the new head of the Volksbildungswerk in Nordenstadt Wiesbaden-Nordenstadt. Since October 2025, Dallman Ross has been serving as interim managing director of the Volksbildungswerk Nordenstadt-Erbenheim-Delkenheim (VBW). For forty years, the VBW has stood for community-oriented adult education and aims to continue its proven work — with openness to many new, flexible ideas. “Lifelong learning remains the heart of our work,” says Ross. “We want to create space where people can learn from one another and continue to grow.” Ross has been active in the VBW for 25 years — as a course instructor, board member, and neighbor in Nordenstadt. He teaches English and American Studies in imaginatively designed courses, for example in “Learnin’ to the Hits,” where participants explore language nuances through well-known pop and rock songs. He also leads a German-language world-literature reading group and brings his IT background into the association’s work. A native of Northern California, Ross studied literature and law in Berkeley and San Francisco, attended the University of Heidelberg as an exchange student — and returned to Wiesbaden to stay.
