nos.nl/artikel/2633... In de jaren '70 bezochten wij de DDR bijna elke zomervakantie. We hadden er vrienden. Dit brood moeten wij dus ook hebben gegeten. Toen wij ons eigen brood een keer meenamen noemden onze vrienden dat 'luftbrot'.

Museum Berlijn exposeert 36 jaar oud DDR-brood: 'Weggooien was uitgesloten'
"Het hoorde op een of andere manier bij ons gezin", zegt Michael Hagedorn. "Het was duidelijk dat niemand er nog van zou eten, maar weggooien was uitgesloten."

@crankyflier.com Hello Brett, I am a regular listener to the podcast The Air Show. You are a frequent flyer, I am not. Maybe I fly once a year. My way of being cranky is that I am cranky when I can't fit my legs (I am 6 ft 6) in a regular seat,and the emergencyexit is not always available anymore.

@michaelsteele.bsky.social Dear mr chairman, My thoughts on why Trumpstein employs this midterm 'strategy': He hates his job, wants the Democrats to win,so he can remain a lameduck for the final two years and doesn't have to negotiate with the Hill anymore and do ALL by Executive Order and SCOTUS.

DHS wasted taxpayer money buying 11 warehouses for about $1.07 billion to expand concentration camps. Now ICE plans to sell seven at a loss after piling up more than $20 million in unrecoverable costs — including zoning assessments, title insurance, utilities, security, and other services.

Trump benoemt bondgenoot Darrell Scott tot tabaksadviseur van Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Dat richt zich op onderzoek, preventie en gezondheidsvoorlichting. Darrel krijgt géén bevoegdheid om producten toe te laten of regels te wijzigen. lnkd.in/e-vQkc7X #tabakslobby
Donald Trump benoemt zijn politieke bondgenoot Darrell Scott tot tabaksadviseur van de CDC. Scott is oprichter en senior pastor van het New Spirit Revival Center in Cleveland Heights in Ohio. Scott werkte mee aan Trumps verkiezingscampagne en presidentiële overgangsteam. Zijn openbare loopbaan ligt hoofdzakelijk op het terrein van religie, maatschappelijke belangenbehartiging en politiek.
