On Tuesday, she will participate in the UN General Assembly’s general debate, attended by world leaders.

Du hast recht! It’s always that with the Left. It’s not hypocrisy when we do it, as they think of it.

I know “Luftwaffe” merely means “Air Force” in German, but one would think that they would want to come up with a new name for that particular branch of their military.

Just my humble opinion. :-)

That headline is the second major laugh of the day. It evoked a mental picture of the heavy Angela suspended between two Galaxies.
