The main thing I've learned about München is that Bavaria is haunted by the memory of King Ludwig's marriage and if we ever stop drinking we may have see that he and the princess are no longer in love, and the aegis of beer-soaked joviality that kept Bavaria suspended for two centuries may collapse

These businesses are located in the old city center of Brussels. In the style of old French Comunes, and the later style of satirical French Comunes, they are part of the Commune Libre de l'ilot Sacré, the Free Commune of the Sacred Islet www.ilotsacre.be fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%8El...
Sign for Bombay Inn, in the same style as the city signs, but in the top left is the red green and white crest of the Commune Libre de l'Ilot Sacré - an asymmetric shield with silhouettes of old Dutch style facades. In the upper right is a seal of the charter members of the commune - a blue pendant with stars similar to the EU flag, as well as a fork knife and spoon, the pennant is wrapped around a circular backing that looks similar to a gold coinSimilar sign for Cafe Georgette

My statement on the developing situation regarding Mayor Her.
Allegations are not dispositive, and there is much that we do not yet know about what occurred between Mayor Her, senior members of city leadership, Chief Henry, and other members of the Saint Paul Police Department. The report prepared by outside counsel of the workplace conduct investigation into Mayor Her’s behavior has not been made public. The City Council has only seen the Mayor’s administration’s two-page summary of that report, prepared by a department she oversees. The allegations in Chief Henry’s complaint have yet to be adjudicated in legal proceedings.

There are, however,  a few things that we do know. The allegations against Mayor Her that were made public this week are deeply troubling. They must be taken seriously by the public, the legal system, and the City Council. We also know that the Mayor’s administration’s own summary of the investigation says that the Mayor engaged in “offensive and inappropriate behavior,” “created an uncomfortable work environment for City employees,” and “sent inappropriate text messages” to at least two City employees. The Mayor was engaging in this behavior while our City was occupied by federal forces last winter, a moment when we desperately needed steady, focused leadership in City Hall.Saint Paul city employees—no matter their title—should never question whether they will be treated with professionalism and respect by their supervisors and the city’s leadership. Our taxpayers should be able to trust that their money will be spent on essential services, not on lawsuits brought on by inappropriate workplace conduct. And every single person in our City should feel confident that the highest levels of City Hall are functioning effectively and relentlessly focused on making life better for Saint Paulites.

Any person accused of wrongdoing deserves to have a fair, impartial legal process determine the facts of what happened and assess the appropriate legal consequences. I respect that process, and do not intend to comment on the merits or specific claims in any current or future litigation. However, the existence of a legal process does not mean either the public or the Council is prevented from demanding better. As both a resident of this City and a member of the Saint Paul City Council, it is clear to me that we need and deserve more from our Mayor.

That starts with transparency. The full report from Resolute Law must be released. Just as urgently, the Mayor must explain how she is currently able to lead the Saint Paul Police Department as the chief executive for Saint Paul. A police force that does not have meaningful leadership from the people’s elected representative is not a tolerable or sustainable state of affairs. We need to know—now—what has and will be done to ensure that that leadership and oversight exists.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

If you’re interested in living on what is literally the best block in St Paul, you should buy this house.  l.hms.pt/69/1/7146272...
l.hms.pt
3 beds, 1 bath for $325,000 in Saint Paul, MINNESOTA | HomeSpotter
You will fall in love with this turn-key, turn-of-the-century gem in the heart of Midway, St Paul! Preserved historic stain glass features, millwork and wood flooring seamlessly paired with open floor plan and thoughtful modern updates maximizing space for simplicity, comfort and efficiency in daily living. This character rich home greets you with a serene front porch, complete with an attached bench swing and updated windows. Immediately inside, you’ll find the cutest “cloffice” (closet office!) just off the entry - perfect for an office or command center, easily converted back to a coat closet. The main level features a light filled layout with aesthetic architectural points of interest: a large arched room transition and recessed wood ceiling. Bright light filled open concept enables a connected feel to the rest of the home with large island workspace and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bathroom, including a primary bedroom with a beautiful study or office space that could serve instead as a walk-in closet, nursery, or flex space. Head up another flight of stairs to an insulated third floor attic with an infrared sauna and plenty of potential to finish for additional living space. The basement offers laundry and ample storage, while the heated mudroom leads to the expansive 12’x28’ deck, fully fenced backyard, and canopy of old-growth conifers skylining the property. Though current door accommodates one car, the oversized 24’ x 24’ garage is larger than many two-car garages, offering possibilities for additional storage, hobby work space or adding a larger door to accommodate two-car in future. Lovingly cared for and well maintained, this home is the perfect blend of space and functionality you need and has just enough canvas potential to make your own distinct mark. It’s cute, charming, full of character, and ready for its next owners to settle in and enjoy!
