* Original in Lithuanian: ES gali prafinansuoti nors ir monoreilą jeigu pagrįsi jo reikalingumą, bet beveik dešimtmiljardinio europinio traukinių tinklo projekto su rusiška vėže niekaip nepagrįsi.

* Translation in English: In general, I've noticed that Russian tourists are almost overrunning almost all the "trendy" and even the not-so-trendy tourist spots around the world (or at least where I've visited in the last few years). It's like one of the biggest and easiest moneymakers.

## Quotes

* George Floyd's awful brutal death is what we should be talking about and addressing the racism, the discrimination and the inequalities black people face in my city, in our country and around the world. It's really important nobody's under any mistaken impression that it is acceptable to be abusive or violent towards police officers or even journalists.
** From a Sky News interview, as cited in "George Floyd death: Violence against police 'detracted' from Black Lives Matter message, says London mayor", Sky News (5 June 2020)
* My wife and children can't open the door because they never know who is going to be behind it. I can't spontaneously decide to go see my mum, I've got to let the police know. I want to go back to normality; I miss it. I miss just being able to go out to the corner shop without police protection. I certainly hope I won't need protection for the rest of my life.

## Quotes about

* Boston is among an increasing number of municipalities, universities, and private foundations that have announced plans to divest from fossil fuels. In late October, ahead of the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, better known as COP26, Auckland, New Zealand; Copenhagen, Denmark; Glasgow, Scotland; Paris; Rio de Janeiro; and Seattle announced commitments to divest from fossil fuel companies and increase investments to make cities more sustainable. Also last month, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott signed a bill that requires the city’s three pension funds to divest from the fossil fuel industry. Those are in addition to divestment commitments made last year by Berlin; Bristol, England; Cape Town, South Africa; Durban, South Africa; London; Los Angeles; Milan; New Orleans; New York City; Oslo; Norway; Pittsburgh; and Vancouver, Canada. “Cities are at the forefront of tackling the climate emergency and there is real momentum to move investments away from fossil fuels and toward climate solutions,” London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who is chair-elect of C40 Cities, a network of mayors working to confront climate change, said in a statement. “I will continue to encourage more cities to join the movement, and urge national governments and private finance institutions to mobilize more finance to invest directly in cities to support a green and fair recovery.”

## Quotes about Marion Berry

* the mayor of Toronto, Rob Ford...The guy used crack cocaine, and he did his job. Despite what you think of him and his politics, but he came to work every day. He did his job. The same is true even of Marion Barry. He came to work every day, did his job. In fact, he did his job so well, so the people of D.C. thought, that they voted for him even after he was convicted for using crack. But that’s the majority of crack cocaine users. Just like any other drug, most of the people who use these drugs do so without a problem.
** Carl Hart, Interview with Democracy Now (2014)

## Quotes

* It is called a genocide. That's what it was... No other way to describe it and that's the way it needs to be described in the history books. And so I'm here to say the following: I'm sorry on behalf of the state of California... It's humbling for me, having believed I was educated, to have been so ignorant of our past, to have been so unaware of how ashamed I should be, as a Californian, 5th generation... I'm sorry that we've had generations of your kids and grandkids, your ancestors, that have had to suffer through indignities, lack of capacity, empathy and understanding...

* CEO of Target Brian Cornell selling out the LGBTQ+ community to extremists is a real profile in courage. This isn’t just a couple stores in the South.

## Quotes

* If this bill passes, it is my deliberate opinion that it is virtually a dissolution of the Union; that it will free the States from their moral obligation; and, as it will be the right of all, so it will be the duty of some, definitely to prepare for a separation,—amicably if they can, violently if they must.
** Regarding the admission of Orleans Territory as a U.S. State. Abridged Cong. Debates, Jan. 14, 1811. Vol. iv. p. 327.

# James A. Reed (politician)

James Alexander Reed (November 9, 1861–September 8, 1944) was an American Democratic Party politician from Missouri.

## Quotes

* We hear a great deal of talk about idealism, the idealism of America, the idealism of men. There are two conceptions of idealism. If by idealism is meant that a man is so exalted in his purposes that he disregards his own interests from any selfish standpoint and endeavors to benefit other people without trying to benefit himself, that kind of idealism is admirable in an individual. But if by idealism is meant that a man follows visions and dreams, that he does things that are impractical, that will not work out, then that kind of idealism is closely associated with insanity.
* They tell us that our race is the best type of Christian civilization. Very well; I want to preserve that civilization until Christ does come to earth, and I do not want any individual to assume that he can transform himself into a second Christ by talking about idealism. Every once in a while, you know, there is a gentleman who imagines that he is Napoleon, or Caesar, or Hannibal, or Mahomet, or the Saviour. The trouble is, they are idealists; they are not practical men. Suppose we sit down here and say to ourselves, "Some day, somewhere, in some remote century of time, people are going to be so good that they will not kill us, and therefore we will throw away our weapons and give them several thousand years in which to butcher us"; and suppose that in the meantime this race of men to which we belong, and which is all that represents real civilization in the world, is destroyed. There will not be anybody to recognize the millennium when it does come. There will not be anybody with enough idealism to know what it is when he sees it.
** Speech on the League of Nations by Senator Reed (March 3, 1921)
# Jim Renacci

## Quotes

* Critics, especially religious organizations, have been condemning anyone who says the refugee system is problematic as being un-Christian or closed-minded. This couldn’t be further from the truth. While importing refugees to the U.S. may seem compassionate, there are much more efficient ways of protecting vulnerable populations around the globe. Resettling refugees to the U.S. is far more costly than moving them to a safe neighboring country. Our federal tax dollars allocated to protecting refugees could do much more if they didn’t focus on resettling them in the U.S.
** RENACCI: DeWine Makes The Wrong Move Bringing More Refugees To Ohio (17 January 2020)
* I think in the end we have to be compassionate, but we should be compassionate for Ohioans first and then try and make sure that our infrastructure and all the things that are going on in Ohio need to be looked at first before we’re bringing in another burden to this state.

# Ron Richard

## Quotes

* I’m pretty serious about what I’m doing. I’m not as unapproachable as many would say and I’m not as grumpy (as they would say), (but I get) a little frustrated sometimes with the lobbyists and bureaucrats, (and) if they’d let us do our jobs we’d be a lot better off. I’m a little older than most in this building, and with social media this whole thing has changed. We’ve got so many (Senate) members that are glued to their phones and the perception of what people are saying about them, rather than just doing their business and their job. I’m walking down the hallway and I get a few people run into me because they’re too busy looking on their cell phones, and I’ll chastise them and tell them to pay attention to what you’re doing.
** Ron Richard denies being a ‘grumpy old man,’ but says he’s serious about running the Missouri Senate (January 4, 2016)
* When I was first elected to the Missouri House of Representatives in 2002, I was part of a group of lawmakers who brought common-sense, conservative principals back to Missouri. As I reflect on my time in the State Capitol, I am proud of the legislation my fellow lawmakers and I have passed. I firmly believe our efforts positively impacted the lives of all Missourians. From day one in the State Capitol, my goal has been job creation. I firmly believe a good job empowers all Missourians to reach their full potential.
