Russia drafted a 28 point surrender plan, handed it to the Trump team, and the regime delivered it to Kyiv unedited, demanding Zelensky sign it by Thanksgiving or lose all US support. Trump and Vance then promoted the plan exactly as Russia wrote it, verbatim, on TV, online, and in person.

We need a fan fiction story called "Trump's Stepchildren." Or are we living it?

"THE DOG THAT DID NOT BARK" IS A QUOTE FROM:

The Adventure of Silver Blaze" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

THE QUOTE WAS IN REFERENCE TO THE REASON THE DOG DID NOT BARK WHEN SILVER BLAZE THE CHAMPION RACE HORSE WAS STOLEN IN THE NIGHT.

THE DOG DID NOT BARK BECAUSE HE KNEW THE PERPETRATOR.

The 2 p.m. temp at the Yankton airport is 81 degrees, setting an unofficial record. The all-time November record for Yankton is 83, set on Nov. 8, 1999. That was also the latest recorded 80-degree temperature of the year in Yankton.

The temperature at the Yankton airport is 78 degrees, which is (unofficially) a new record. (It would count for Nov. 15, because that's the way the records are kept.) If it can climb to 80, it would be the latest in the year Yankton has ever hit that mark.
