Germany’s spending plan, equivalent to around $1.08 trillion, has drawn cheers across a continent unnerved by signs that the U.S. is downgrading its security commitment to Europe and seeking a rapprochement with President Vladimir Putin’s Russia, which is seen as the region’s biggest threat.

“Berlin is breaking the piggy bank, and it’s doing it even before the next government is in office,” said François Heisbourg, a Paris-based expert on strategy and defense who has advised the French president. “Germany is giving itself the means to become a military force to match its economic and strategic weight. That’s a sea change.”

I’ve got a 2014 model and it’s used almost daily as well. We pull a small utility trailer occasionally and our place has elevation changes of 100’ in a few spots. It carries four adults easily and sometimes more. I’m gonna keep ours till it drops dead.

What place do homonyms have in this discussion?

I wouldn't hesitate to shoot it for practice and perhaps you'll be able to fire enough of the old rounds to be confident in their reliability and performance. I personally would just save those for practice and buy a few boxes of fresh ammo. You'll need enough to zero your gun and be familiar with the ballistics of whatever round you settle on. Good luck!

Can you share where you're seeing this price?

Al Hirt isn't on the list?

I heard Tucker Carlson on someone else's show (maybe Jordan Peterson, but don't remember exactly) but answering the question of who has been his hardest interview and Tucker replied "Trump", precisely because it was near impossible to keep him on point.

My wife bought a Kia Telluride SX Pro a few months ago that now has about 6k miles on it. She narrowed down her list to Toyota Grand Highlander, Honda Pilot and the Kia. I think she picked the Kia for purely aesthetic reasons. The theft issue with those was addressed some time back so don’t get put off by an old problem. There wasn’t any difference in insurance among the ones she considered.

Yeah I broke mine two years ago and had to wear a stabilizing brace and take it easy for six or seven weeks. No hard cast or surgery since it wasn’t displaced.
