JD Vance’s team had water level of Ohio river raised for family’s boating trip Exclusive: Incident raises questions of exploitation of public services, but Secret Service says it was requested for ‘safe navigation’ Stephanie Kirchgaessner and David Smith Wed 6 Aug 2025 17.46 EDT Share JD Vance’s team had the army corps of engineers take the unusual step of changing the outflow of a lake in Ohio to accommodate a recent boating excursion on a family holiday, the Guardian has learned. The request from the US Secret Service was made to “support safe navigation” of the US vice-president’s security detail for an August outing on the Little Miami River, according to a statement by the US army corps of engineers (USACE). Vance was spotted in the south-western Ohio area on 2 August, his 41st birthday, according to social media posts that noted he was seen canoeing on the river, a tributary that Caesar Creek Lake feeds into. One source with knowledge of the matter who communicated with the Guardian anonymously alleged that the outflow request for the Caesar Creek Lake was not just to support the vice-president’s Secret Service detail, but also to create “ideal kayaking conditions”. The Guardian could not independently confirm this specific claim.

What good is being VP if you can't abuse your power to have the Army Corps of Engineers making your kayaking trip more ideal by changing the waterflow of a lake?

You got it. I enjoyed this story even more than the dentist who was killed by the lion he was hunting.

Where y'at? I was at the Wisconsin State Fair yesterday and had a bratwurst pasty. It was not delicious. But the cherry turnover was.

Well, that's fun!

Cut the root off the onion, but don't peel it. The skin adds a nice color. Chop it if you want. And like everyone else says, low and slow with other vegetables. I then freeze in one cup baggies. Thaw as needed

Reminds me of the joke where two people sitting at a restaurant. One says to the other, "Boy this food is terrible!" Then the other person replies, "Yeah and the portions are so small!"

Since it's been doing such a great job?

Food Deserts - 99% Invisible Woonsocket, Rhode Island was once home to many locally owned and regional grocers. There were small stores such as Fernandes Produce and Big D’s. The city also had supermarkets from classic New Englan...

The most recent 99% Invisible makes a persuasive argument that food deserts are a result of a public policy decision to change enforcement of the the Robinson-Patman Act under Reagan. The act says that sellers
can't charge buyers different prices for the same "commodity"
