Pete Hegseth, who's clearly in over his head since the beginning of his tenure, is now dabbling in media journalism. There's an undeclared ongoing war without congressional backing, and here is Mr Hegseth pitching headlines.
As with many US government institutions these days, there is a lot of deceptive manoeuvring and political posturing. What we don't see is a clear implementation of congressional orders in accordance with the law. Kari Lake continues to waste money while having no mandate at all.
Very odd that this is tolerated. Given the Gelsenkirchen [a city in North Rhine-Westphalia] number plate, this car looks like a recent import from Germany.
💯 this!!!
I believe that this categorisation is factually correct. May I inquire how - in broad terms - your husband's entry on your mobile phone/tablet looks like?
@jonnywhitlam.bsky.social is giving guided Berlin tours and makes educational video clips about German history. Now you're writing that he is also organising book presentations.
Is this guy trying to make us all feel like cultural slackers?
50+ and I never settle for the lower deck unless I really have to due to luggage. The thrill of riding on the upper deck never gets old.
Today, the Academy announced its final lineup of presenters alongside one truly earth-shattering revelation: Comedian, actor, musician, and vocal maestro Matt Berry will be this year’s announcer.
I'm a guy from a place that unconditionally surrendered on 8 May 1945. I can tell you with certainty that the process described by Karoline Leavit is not what happened here roughly 80 years ago.
Ehe wir Hagel für Baden akzeptieren, schließen wir Breisgauer uns als ehemalige Vorderösterreicher lieber Wien an. Sachertorte und halbseidene Gschaftlhuber sind einem Politikpraktikanten vorzuziehen.
Kompromiss: Baden und Württemberg teilen sich wieder auf, damit Hagel und Özdemir gleichzeitig Ministerpräsident sein können www.der-postillon.com/2026/03/bade...
The renowned medical journal 'The Lancet' just published a scathing editorial titled 'Robert F Kennedy Jr: 1 year of failure'. The editorial can be accessed w/o a subscription.

And you're spot on when it comes to Spargel.
I'm not making this up, but restaurant meals in Germany have far more vegetables than in your favourite travel destination -- France.
Food in German hospitals, however, is an atrocity. It's all about lowering costs, despite the fact that proper meals can ease the recovery process. Shameful.

Is this just out of general interest or are you seriously considering a trip to the Ukrainian capital?
"The destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 year might take generations to repair, and there is little hope for US health and science while he remains at the helm"

Since I have have to work on something, I'll let you off the hook regarding your moral standard-setting - for now.
Enjoy the sunshine and the pleasant 25 C.
Unfortunately, the entire restaurant industry seems to be plagued by certain problems. You'd think with the prices you pay a Michelin-starred restaurants they'd treat their staff better, but no, that's not the case.

Sure, open Sundays is crucial, so let's not bring up the child labour scandal, racial and LGBTQ discrimination, and a few other things. They do have fine plastic straws, do they?

Hold on, Mr M, do I get this right? You're publicly crucifying people for still using Twitter/X but you're freely admitting that you frequent Chick-fil-A?
CNN airs compilation of JD Vance on the campaign trail saying he would keep the U.S. out of war in the Middle East. "We're going to stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world. Our interests are very much in not going to war with Iran."
If you're interested in media journalism and have an eye on developments at VOA, this NYT piece comes as no surprise to you. What's still astonishing is that all pretense of properly running a once respectable news organisation is completely gone.

Disgusting comments. America was founded on the idea of religious freedom. Republicans must denounce this now!
Wer als pharmazeutischer Hersteller bei Schadensfällen Auskünfte verweigert, erweist der medizinischen Forschung einen Bärendienst. Es ist wichtig, dass on diesem Fall das Gericht Transparenz eingefordert hat.
Der nächste Journalist, der Özdemir am Anfang so ausspricht wie ein Tiroler Bergtal, muss vier Wochen für deutsche Cluburlauber bei Antalya den Animateur geben.
Beim "Spiegel" scheint in der Wahlnacht mittlerweile das Korrektorat geschlossen zu sein.
The Trump administration is continuing to sell Ukraine down the river. While fighting the regime in Iran, the US allows Russia to fill its coffers and to invest in a bloody and illegal war.
