While its not hot out,  he could have done it over exerting himself building these houses.  At 92 I can't imagine it would take all that much to do it

He was just giving a speech when taken away.

I dunno they said dehydration and since it's not hot out that would be my guess, maybe it was a combo of previous dehydration and lack of proper rehydration due to travel? maybe dehydration was just a quick response before they actually know what it is and could be something totally unrelated... guess we will see

What I don't understand is that as a parent , every book and every word of advice that I gather always suggests that if you're kid is whining and complaining that you should not give in every single time.    I don't understand why this can't be used against adults as well?

Neither do a lot of young motorcyclists. Why go the speed limit when they can go 50 kph faster?

unreal and I believe they are.. or very loosely associated.  how can they prove without any doubt that its a russian military drone that was involved tho..

Ukraine is not a member in NATO.  The invasion of Crimea is at least partly due to ongoing discussions about joining.  If Russia had waited until after Ukraine became a member, then the organization would have a duty to react and defend Ukraine.

Not many cities can afford it anymore. The LAMC lives to see another one 44 years later.

Deal worked out between Paris and LA to host the 2024 and 2028 Olympics. There were no other bidders left.

 

The Olympics are trying to scale down for the future to avoid the crazy expenses incurred in Sochi.

I thought in the future they were going to do more of an area rather then a single country.   So several countries would bid together and host various events?
