I mailed my ballot in Oregon last week. Primary and Fire Department property tax levy. Voted NO on FD Levy. They ask for more every election, and apparently they haven’t even spent all the funds from the 2020 levy.

If this were 1994, that may have been a substantial portion of the Soviet chopper fleet capable of flight.
I know of a case in 1993 where a Soviet army Colonel sold some major Top Secret gear to a U.S. Army captain, in uniform, for enough to feed his regiment on the train trip home.
But this is 2024, and the Soviets(in Putins dreams), er, the Russians have a lot more operable machines today.

In a separate case, a judge removed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from a 2020 election case over political bias and personal involvement with a special prosecutor.
What, two years in, and the real invasion has not started? Putin must be happy about the Black Sea fleet being decimated, refineries destroyed, arms factories bombed, military aircraft shot down, etc., etc.
I hear this nonsense at least annually, sometimes more often..........and some people here complain about propaganda from the Ukraine and the State Department and White House.
Applebee’s was pretty good in the eighty’s and ninety’s. Seemed like the food went downhill after 2000. Maybe they suffered from too many eateries that copied their success.

I lived in Mountain View and Sunnyvale for 14 years, but left in 2000 when I felt the the area between Palo Alto and Santa Clara changing for the worse.
My friends and I used to hike in Redwoods State Park, The Pinnacles, and thought nothing of driving to Monterey for Sunday dinner.
A few people here on FR have told me that Monterey still largely retains it’s old character, just more crowded.

......advocacy groups filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.....The Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project, as well as Judicial Watch and CNN, all filed requests
Is Fox News finally telling the truth, and calling CNN an advocacy group?

The article excerpt exaggerates the damage done to the Israeli military. They beat the Arabs with the tanks and aircraft they had at the start of the war, but lacked the supplies necessary to sustain their full effort for more than a few weeks.
The intelligence gathered by SR-71 overflights was also important to Israeli efforts.
I got picked to be on a jury last summer. During the interviews, I got to tell the defense counsel that my nephew was a state prison guard. I was dismissed.
