In Flemish, zonder = without and paard = horse. So I ride bikes, buses, and trains in the fair city of Saint Paul, Minnesota. Past ports of call: MFR, RDU, KLMT, BRU, PBI, VIE, BWI.

Literally any "Why?" question you have about Snow Plowing in a major city can be answered with "Well we let you park your cars on the street and you don't move them."
As you know, I take special delight in Minneapolis crabby patties complaining about protected bike lanes plowed before every street. But it occurred to me that a reason is, no one parks (legally) in a bike lane. In a sense, our protected lanes have the plowing ease of a suburban residential street.

An "aura" around the United States. 🫣
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

I can’t believe how much of the Trump era is about solving problems that *don’t* exist while making all the problems that *do* exist, worse.
There is no one who thinks the biggest problem with air travel right now is not having an area to do pull-ups.

Why the hell do they keep complaining about Minnesota and saying horrible things about our governor and our Somali friends?

Everyone else should think about us once or twice a year, tops.

Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike?
HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the Washington Post

Hegseth: I watch that first strike live. At the Department of War, we got a lot of things to do so I did not stick around. Couple of hours later, I learned that commander had made -- which he had the complete authority to do, he made the correct decision to sink the boat and eliminated the threat.

Anstatt zu sinken, ist die Inflation im November wohl leicht gestiegen. Vor allem Energie ist teuer. Auch Vanillekipferl und Kokosbusserl sind heuer kostspielig. Und wie sieht es mit den Preisen für Christbaum, Weihnachtskarpfen und Geschenken aus?
