Joe Biden, America’s president, reassured allies that his country will “not walk away” from supporting Ukraine’s war effort. Mr Biden’s remarks came after he signed a stopgap funding bill on Saturday which prevented a government shutdown but omitted aid for Ukraine as some Republicans opposed it. Matt Gaetz, a Republican congressman from Florida, pledged to oust Kevin McCarthy, the speaker of the House of Representatives, for working with Democrats to pass the bill. Mr Gaetz and several hard-right Republican congressmen had sought swingeing spending cuts. [The Economist]

BLOGPOST UPDATE IN PROGRESS

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 980 & BENKYO RADIO 980. Now, I absolutely adore BMWs. I worked for BMW FS, and unfortunately, I was in a serious car accident, and my idiotic manager let me go while I was still in the hospital. I guess that is the kind of treatment they give to contractors instead of salary employees. I miss that company, I used to love going in the office, I’d show up at 5am instead of 9am. It was my dream to drive a BMW, and when my recruiter asked me “where do you see yourself in 5 years?” I calmly explain: I see myself inside a BMW. I got to go to WeatherTech Laguna Seca and see the BMW M8 GT3, it was awesome. In Germany, during Part 1 of my honeymoon, I went to the Nürburgring and watched a race event, and it basically had all my dream cars from DTM including BMW. In the local bar, I used a BMW simulator, and drove a simulated lap around the Green Hell. It was fucking awesome. My first tweet on Twitter in 2009 was that I dream to drive a BMW M3. I have made over 149.5 thousand tweets, making LOTS AND LOTS of people tremendous amounts of money, but I have yet to be able to afford this $80,000 vehicle. Please help me reach this dream. Thank you.

Until Next Time!
