So France is once again ruled from Berlin by a willing band of turncoat French open-borders and open-legs administrators of decline.  This EU stuff is interesting not only in its own right, but as a cautionary model of the Unites States as well.  The differences are obvious, the similarities not so much, but I posit that the similarities are worth looking into just the same.

Whereas the EU lacks an authoritative central government, it remains very much a thing more like a nation-state than any other collection of countries which might also lack such a central government — OPEC, ASEAN, OIC, and so forth.  The only organizations which are more like nation-states are actually declared as such — centrally governed federations like the US and the Russian Federation.

FBI Director James Comey has been fired, and none too soon.  He needed to go first off when he allowed Attorney General Loretta Lynch to sideline herself to shield the Clintons, and then when he announced that despite clear evidence of noteworthy crimes, he would not recommend prosecuting Clinton.  In the first matter, he, like any single-point direct-report, has an amazing amount of power over his boss.  He literally enabled her to stand by, neither doing her job nor recusing herself, so that James Comey was in fact the Attorney General for a politically fraught case.

Hillary Clinton’s crimes, those of a statutory nature as well as those of misconduct and malpractice rising to the level of criminal negligence *at best*, always had as part of the defense … Continue reading →

Well, now that we’ve passed it, perhaps we can see what’s in it.  Oh, and the Senate takes it next.

My guess is that nothing has been repealed, and we’re going to tinker with the damned thing.

Holy cow, this Mulvaney guy is good.  I’m watching the live WH daily press briefing.  This guy is on the warpath.  If even half of what he says checks out, things are not so bad as they seem.

Regardless, the way that he says it is a refreshing change of pace.  He’s the director of something, and I hope he sticks around.  This guy ought to be giving all of these briefings.

Well, here we go again.  We shall sprinkle a few troops about, just enough to get somebody killed.  We’re going to send 300 more Marines to the twice-abandoned Helmand province, because I guess things are different now.  From the execrable Yahoo News aggregation of an AFP story:

“In those days Afghan security forces were tiny and just got started,” Brigadier General Roger Turner told AFP. “With the leadership in place now they… are poised to do much better.”

Well we also had something like 12,000 troops in Afghanistan at one time, and that didn’t seem to help.  Actually, it … Continue reading →

You have duly been upgraded.  The whole place is now accessible toyou.

Side note:  Please post something so we know it all works — and I recommend that everybody (who has never posted)  put up a post, to help validate a couple of things.

Thanks for joining us!

I won’t mince words.  Minced words suck.  More people may be on the way.  Then again, they may not.  It’s up to them.

Another Taliban attack has killed at least 140 Afghan soldiers on a base I know very well.  I’m kind of speechless.  I’m agnostic, but my prayers go out to those brothers in arms who died fighting the good fight.  I have eaten in the chow hall where many of them were killed, tramped the dusty road where dozens of them were blown up, met with counterparts next door to the base mosque where they were gunned down.

The US no longer operates on that base.  The Afghans have no choice.

Yes.  It has burnt for years, and now the mere rabble may have had enough.  I cannot wait for the results of this election, I hope it will be LePen, and I don’t know much about her.  But she has all the right enemies.

There are some who come unhinged when LePen pulls ahead, but who explain away murderous Islamic terrorism with a creepy facility.  The only shade that she (I mean, uh, some people) can throw at the most recent attack on Paris is to suggest that ISIS is only killing Parisians in order to provoke the French to vote for LePen.  This will enrage Muslims to attack the French.

Deep thought.  Well, deep something anyway.

Here is a song I am just gorging upon.  I’m on a listening rampage.  I’m doing the chicken dance as I retrieve another bowl of green chile stew, and the sprinkler dance between typing sentences, chk-chk-chk.  This is as catchy as a velcro hangnail with gonorrhea.  More catch than a Bill Clinton used car.  This thing catches more than Barry Manilow.

No clue who these knuckleheads are, other than a cover of a Daft Punk song, which, what the hey, let’s put that here too.
