    US Embassy: presidential election voting reminder for citizens in ARG

    I was a former resident in Hamilton County, state of Ohio. Republicans control the state government, and have gerrymandered the congressional districts that has resulted in "packing" 5 congressional districts with Democratic representatives, while the bulk (ten) of the seats have Republican...

    In 2019 I enrolled in Hospital Italiano. I had to have a blood test, and I don't remember other tests. I was age 69 at the time. Over 70 and the Argentine health insurers will decline to enroll you. In 2019 my monthly premium was about USD $140 with Hospitla Italiano. Now it is about $250 a...

    Trump injured after being shot while speaking at a campaign rally

    Trump never ran for a political office before his campaign for the presidency in 2016. Lazy RFK Jr did not bother to run for an elective office, despite family connections, and his name, until now. These guys think they are so wonderful they did not need to learn on the job, as a state...

    Trump injured after being shot while speaking at a campaign rally

    Was the bullet that killed the attendee, a firefighter with a wife and two kids, part of the script? Granted, Trump only is interested in himself, but a conspiracy involving a dead bystander is too far a stretch for me.

    Les Ancients Combattants restaurant

    I dined there about a year ago. The service was very good, and the food was excellent. Fine dining, not the kilo of meat and potatoes one can often encounter in popular joints in Bs. As. The only drawback was a jazz band performing. All the surfaces were hard; the acoustics muddied the...

    Milei’s Amputation Regime for Argentina

    Artists and athletes in the Soviet system were groomed and exploited as servants to the propaganda goals of their masters. And discarded when they were no longer useful. My view is they did not contribute to the well being of the people, just glory to the leadership. Under Putin, the state...

    $100K+ USD for apartment can seller legally insist on cash?

    I thought the topic was USD cash for real estate. But since you mention cryptocurrencies as a "solution", I recall the last time crypto was put forth as a solution. A few years ago, I got an email threat that claimed my computer was infected, and the person alleged he had lurid, incriminating...
