  1. The saddest part is that the voters of Minneapolis decided to keep MPD in place, and not only elect Mayor Jacob Frey to another term, but convert city government to a strong-mayor from a weak-mayor system. I guess the Minneapolis taxpayer is okay with 8-figure excessive force settlements.
  2. Isn't attempting to bring a firearm through security an automatic arrest and federal felony?
  3. Isn't this the point where hizzonor signs a bench warrant?
  4. That reminds me of this
  5. I don't see how to get that coordinated. For comparison's sake, more people ride the New York subway on a COVID weekday than the highest daily throughput through every TSA checkpoint in the USA since 1/1/2019 (2.8 million and change). And we all know how much of a goat rodeo TSA is under the best of conditions. Also, the Mrs. and I will be in NYC in mid-June. We've got tickets for the Yankees and a couple of shows. Still deciding where to stay, either Midtown or over by Madison Square Garden.
  6. https://www.dw.com/en/france-le-pen-faces-embezzlement-claims-ahead-of-election-runoff/a-61499951 France: Le Pen faces embezzlement claims ahead of election runoff French prosecutors are looking into a EU report which accuses far-right candidate Marine Le Pen and her associates of embezzling over €600,000.
  7. The Bears bought Arlington Park Racetrack last fall, so it's only a matter of time before the Bears are playing in the 'burbs. Arrowhead, Lambeau, and Joe Robbie/Hard Rock have had extensive renovations in the last 10 years, so none of those are going anywhere anytime soon. Lambeau may as well be a new stadium. No idea on the future of the Superdome. The next NFL stadium problem is Washington. FedEx Field is the perfect embodiment of Daniel Snyder's ownership (large chunks missing upstairs, full of untreated sewage, and rotting from the foundation).
  8. It's 15,000 nms from Vladivostok to the entrance of the Dardanelles, presuming that they have to go around the Cape of Good Hope. We won't be finding out anytime soon if the Turks intend to block the Russian Navy.
  9. The Moral Majority is neither, nor has it ever been.
  10. IMHO the Chinese are bargain hunting. Right now they're the only ones buying Putin's bullshit, and they'll dictate terms if and when they get there.
  11. Matthew's Gospel is also quite clear that not even Jesus knows when the end is. Only the Father.
  12. Russians are the biggest boozehounds in Europe.
  13. The NFC's QB lineup is also dogshit. Rodgers, Stafford, then what? Good luck with 6 games a year against Mahomes, Hebert, and whoever other two top-shelf AFC QBs the schedule send your way.
  14. I look forward to seeing 4 more years of beating up a shitty NFC North and losing the WC game at home.
  15. That reminds me of this.
  16. Not being familiar with conditions in the former Soviet Union, do people still have shortwave radios? It's good that the Beeb and RFE is back on there, but can anyone hear what they're pumping out?
  17. I'm surprised that they weren't met with a hail of Molotov cocktails.
  18. FYI currency markets open in Sydney at 4PM Central today.
  19. Now start the seizure proceedings against Chelsea FC.
  20. All of this bullshit from Florida reminds me of a Rolling Stone article from 2012, when Minnesota's largest school district had a similar policy to this crap in Florida. It led to wholesale and widespread sexual-orientation-based bullying in the district. Nine students killed themselves within a year and change. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/one-towns-war-on-gay-teens-232572/ Just bringing this back up makes my blood boil.
  21. Based on what they've done, the McCaskeys seem intent on doing the same thing Kroenke did in Inglewood, except in Arlington Heights. https://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/2021/10/28/22751455/bears-arlington-park-stadium-chicago-soldier-field-churchill-downs
  22. You're forgetting Wisconsin. Ron Johnson is very under water and is facing a host of pursuers.
