If Kramarczuck's ever closes I will throw myself off the Hennepin Ave bridge.
In January.
Kramarczuk's in northeast Minneapolis has been selling sausage since 1954, and customers now include fifth-generation families. The Ukrainian-founded shop has also hired at least 20 refugees since 2022. bizjournals.com/twincities/n…

Lincoln Del was the Twin Cities deli that fed generations of Minnesotans and still makes grown adults go quiet when somebody mentions the name. The restaurant sat in the St. Louis Park and Minneapolis area for decades, with a glass case of baked goods near the door and a dining room that always smelled like corned beef. Ask someone who grew up there, and the answer is the same. They had the best deli in the state.
The story began as a bakery. The Berenberg family, Jewish immigrants from Romania, opened a Lincoln Bakery in Minneapolis in the 1930s. The story goes that the founder named his business after Abraham Lincoln, a hero to many new Americans. The bakery at 1405 Sixth Avenue North opened April 27, 1935. In time, the family turned the bakery into a full deli. Lincoln Del East opened on West Lake Street in 1957, and Lincoln Del West opened at Highways 100 and 12 in St. Louis Park in September 1965.
The food was the star. Fans still talk about the corned beef, the chopped liver, and the Reuben sandwiches, stacked high and served with a pickle. The potato salad had a following of its own. Cabbage borscht, cheese blintzes, lox, and fresh bagels filled the menu, and the bakery cases held rye breads, cakes, and cookies. A chocolate phosphate arrived fizzing at the table. The famous C. Everett Koop cake was a chocolate layer cake with whipped cream, and no one in the family forgot it.
The place was a community. Lincoln Del was a favorite of the local Jewish community, and many others, and it hosted baby namings, birthday dinners, and quiet lunches after funerals. By 1983, the three locations employed nearly 450 people, about 250 of them from St. Louis Park. A third location, Lincoln Del South in Bloomington, opened in 1975. The waitresses knew your order, the booths were always full, and a table of regulars could argue about the Vikings over coffee for two hours.
The family also had a flair for the dramatic. In 1986, a parking dispute with a property company reached a boiling point. Danny Berenberg, who ran the business, answered by mailing 25,000 bagels to the company's headquarters in Dallas. The story became local legend. It was pure Lincoln Del, stubborn, funny, and a little bit over the top.
The end came in 2000. The Bloomington property was sold, and the St. Louis Park store closed in June, with a liquidation sale starting July 17. Regulars lined up one last time for a sandwich and a piece of cake. The name and recipes stayed with the family, and in 2017, the Minnesota Historical Society Press published The Lincoln Del Cookbook. Today, a grandmother pulls it from a shelf, opens it to a page stained with butter, and starts a pot of borscht. The kitchen fills with a smell that is twenty five years old. For a moment, the booth is warm, the cake is on the table, and somebody is calling her name.

OMG. Video reportedly captured on a Mahoning Valley Community Schools bus in Ohio shows a male student BRUTALLY attacking a female student as others laugh and do nothing.
The bus driver and the aide also allegedly did NOT intervene to stop the attack.
School officials also allegedly did not contact the female student's parents, and she was not seen by the nurse.
We reached out to the school for comment, but they did not respond.

Saburo Sakai was the greatest Japanese fighter ace to survive the war. Sixty-four confirmed kills. Flew the Zero against the P-40, the P-38, the Hellcat, and the Corsair.
Over Java, in early 1942, he caught a lone American DC-3 transport plane in his gunsight. An easy kill. Standard target. He closed to point-blank range.
Then he looked into the cockpit.
The cockpit was full of women and children, Dutch civilian refugees trying to get out of the East Indies ahead of the Japanese advance. One of the women, holding a baby, looked out the side window straight into Sakai's canopy.
Sakai did not fire.
He broke off, saluted the woman, and let the DC-3 fly west into the sun.
Years later, in American interviews, he explained himself plainly.
"I am a samurai. My father's father was a samurai. We do not shoot women and babies. If my ancestors saw me fire into that cockpit, I would not be able to meet them when I died."
Five months later, over Guadalcanal, Sakai took a .50 caliber round through the canopy of his Zero. The bullet went through his head. It blinded his right eye and tore open his skull.
By every medical reasonable expectation he should have gone down.
He flew his damaged Zero four hours and 650 miles over the Pacific, bleeding into his flight suit, half-blind, repeatedly losing consciousness. He landed it, intact, on Rabaul.
He survived the war with one eye.
After the war, Saburo Sakai did not hate Americans. He became a Buddhist. He said in interviews that he had killed too many men already and would not do it again, not even in his own thoughts. He corresponded for years with former American Navy pilots who had been his opponents.
When American pilots began visiting Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo to pay respects to Japanese pilots they had shot down, it was Saburo Sakai who met them at the gate and walked them in. Enemy pilot. Enemy pilot. Both with white hair. Side by side, bowing at the memorial of men they had tried to kill.
"We were warriors," Sakai told one American interviewer. "Now we are old. Only the young should hate. The old should remember."
Japan had Zamperini forgiveness. Japan had Fuchida reconciliation. Japan also had Saburo Sakai, who refused to fire at women, took a bullet through the head, and spent his old age walking American pilots into Yasukuni.
Warriors recognize warriors.
Even after the war is gone.

🚨BREAKING:🚨The Maricopa County Board of Elections has come forward to issue an apology to President Trump, stating that elections officials in the county have now brought forth evidence alleging that then Secretary of State (now Governor) Katie Hobbs and then Speaker of the Arizona House of Representatives Rusty Bowers PERSONALLY ORDERED THEM TO DESTROY TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP and to count the TENS OF THOUSANDS OF BALLOTS THAT WERE CAST BY ILLEGAL ALIENS FOR JOE BIDEN in Arizona's largest county in the 2020 election. This was "outcome-determinative fraud" by the very individuals who were entrusted to conduct, oversee and certify the election and Hobbs and Bowers are both alleged to have been on the payroll of at least 3 hostile foreign governments, The George Soros Open Society Foundation and The DNC in exchange for RIGGING the 2020 election in Arizona. Put simply, there is now IRREFUTABLE AND INDISPUTABLE PROOF that President Trump WON the state of Arizona in that STOLEN election out of the mouths of the very people who counted the votes. LOCK THESE TREASONOUS CROOKS UP NOW! 💪🏻🔥🇺🇸

14-year-old Kansas boy who spent years growing a lawn care business says thieves stole $20,000 worth of equipment from him.
Sonny Gallardo started going door-to-door in sixth grade, offering lawn care services.
"Every day after school, Sonny’s grandpa would drop off everything Sonny needed to go door to door to rake leaves," his mother said.
"Since then, Sonny's lawn business has grown so much. Sonny has sized up 2 times in trailers and gathered enough equipment for a crew of 5. Over the past 4 years, Sonny has worked incredibly hard for all the equipment acquired."
As reported by Fox 4, Gallardo's mother launched a GoFundMe to help him rebuild.
America needs more kids like Sonny. His GoFundMe will be linked below.

For three weeks, my husband lay in the ICU while his body fought a serious infection.
When we knew he wasn’t going to make it, the nurses made an exception. They let me bring in Milo, our 12-year-old golden retriever, to see him one last time.
Milo went straight to the bed. He laid his chin on my husband’s hand and stayed perfectly still, even as the line on the monitor went flat.
I started crying. So did the nurses.
When it was time to go, I took Milo’s leash and whispered, “We have to leave, buddy.”
He settled on the floor instead, his side pressed against the bed. He kept looking up at my husband’s hand, whimpering softly. He wasn’t ready to leave him there by himself.
One of the nurses came over. She lifted the blue blanket from my husband’s bed and draped it over Milo’s shoulders. It still smelled like him.
Milo shut his eyes and took a deep breath. Then he got to his feet, caught a corner of the blanket in his mouth, and walked down the hall with me.
That was three months ago. The blue has faded and the edges are coming apart, but Milo still keeps the blanket close. It’s a little bit of the person he loved that he can still curl up with.
I’ll always remember what that nurse did. She saw that Milo was grieving, too, and found a way to give him some comfort.

Huge astronomical news!!
Israel is going to invest NIS 100 million in North American Jewish education. That 100 million is then being matched by the federation and other donors.
The coolest part? My brother Eytan Fuld at his role at the Jewish Federations of North America and the Prime Minister’s office led this initiative!
One might say, he was the driving force behind it!
In the explosive political environment that often creates a wedge between diaspora Jews and Jews in Israel, this is a very important step in the right direction.
Congrats JFNA, congrats Eytan, congrats Israel, and congrats to our brothers and sisters in the diaspora.
