Netherlands to deliver first F-16 jets to Ukraine in 2024

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:45:35 GMT

The Netherlands is planning to deliver its first F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine at some point in 2024, the country’s defense minister, Kajsa Ollongren, said Tuesday.Before the jets can be delivered, pilots, crew and technicians all have to be trained to fly and fight in the jets, Ollengren said during an interview with MSNBC. She did not give an exact answer on how long the training would last, but estimated it would be between six and eight months.“These things do take time,” Ollengren said. “I think the most important thing is the signal we’re sending, not only to Kyiv but also to Moscow and the Kremlin. That is: We are there.”The Netherlands, Denmark and Norway all announced that they would provide Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets, following approval from the U.S. allowing Ukrainian pilots to be trained. The move was hailed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who spent months pressing the West to provide his forces with modern jets to repel Mosco...

Congress says it wants to avoid a shutdown. But the House and Senate are moving even further apart

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:45:35 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Congress is starkly divided over very different paths to preventing a federal shutdown — the Senate charging ahead with a bipartisan package to temporarily fund the government but the House slogging through a longshot effort with no real chance of finishing by Saturday’s deadline.With days remaining before a federal closure, the stakes are rising with no resolution at hand.A shutdown would furlough millions of federal employees, leave the military without pay, disrupt air travel and cut off vital safety net services, and it would be politically punishing to lawmakers whose job it is to fund government.President Joe Biden, who earlier this year reached a budget deal with Speaker Kevin McCarthy that became law, believes it’s up to the House Republicans to deliver.“A deal is a deal,” said White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. “This is for them to fix.”Late Tuesday, the Senate pushed ahead in sweeping bi...

OBF: Mac Jones creates controversy with saucy confrontation

Albert Einstein taught us time is pliable.The faster one travels, the slower the minutes pass.Einstein’s general theory of relativity adds gravity as a mitigating factor affecting time.The more forceful the gravity, the weaker the clock.If you ever found yourself near a black hole, you might spend an hour or two before returning to Earth, where thousands of years have passed.This was a scientific version of the “doctrine of eternal recurrence” philosophy offered by Friedrich Nietzsche.Also known as “time is a flat circle.”The German philosopher Nietzsche predated Einstein and credible minds have argued that Einstein felt his influence.No matter your choice of explanation – scientific or philosophical – the Patriots have fallen into their own vortex of spinning time and energy.The clock has stopped.The red, white, blue, and black hole features a round trip to a place where the quarterback is an  alleged cheat, and the issue concerns potentially deflated balls.During the Patriots̵...

With Nationals long out of the race, are DC-area fans returning, at least for now, to their Orioles roots?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:45:35 GMT

There’s a suspicion among DMV baseball fans that every Washington Nationals fan of a certain age secretly has an Orioles jersey or maybe a hat buried in their closet. It’s a sign of their original rooting interest. With the Nationals plummeting to the bottom of the National League East this year and the Orioles closing in on their first 100-win season in 40-plus years, some have begun digging for that orange evidence.“Before the Nats came, this region was all O’s fans,” said Mike Hicks, a St. Mary’s County native who turned 50 this week. “So when the Nationals came in 2005, I think it gave D.C. residents something more to root for. But they still got that Orioles jersey hidden somewhere.”Hicks found a workaround for that deception without hiding his fanhood.When he and his father, Jim, attend Orioles-Nationals games — they try to get to at least one matchup each season — Mike dons his custom-made top. A few years ago he too...
