As socialist Venezuela starves, remember Bernie Sanders once said that's the American Dream
Equal poverty for all!
Here, August 2011:
These days, the American dream is more apt to be realized in South America, in places such as Ecuador, Venezuela and Argentina, where incomes are actually more equal today than they are in the land of Horatio Alger. Who's the banana republic now?
Marine Le Pen is popular with France's multitudes of unemployed youth
From the profile, here:
Part of her allure is rooted in the plight of young people in the world’s sixth-largest economy, nearly a quarter of whom are unemployed. On the eve of Le Pen’s rally in Metz, 20-something supporters from across the country came together in the city’s party headquarters to discuss their plans for the following day. It had more the feel of an awkward school dance than a strategy session – they had put out bowls of potato chips and bottles of soda.
Emilien NoĆ©, a former Socialist who coordinates the youth movement in the region, says young people are drawn to the FN’s promise to restore French glory, something they’ve never known. “A lot of young people are living abroad instead of in France, and this is sad for a country like ours,” he says.
MOAB left Afghan tunnels used by ISIS "apparently undamaged"
Should have bombed the damn dams of Afghanistan instead.
Put out their lights for good, waste all their water. Send them back to the Stone Age where they belong. And leave.
From the story here:
Afghan special forces troops entered one of the caves used by suspected Isil fighters and found the tunnels apparently undamaged by the explosion. ... Afghan officials claimed that nearly 100 militants and no civilians were killed by the blast but those claims have not been independently verified.

Marine Le Pen sounds just like Michael Savage, calling on France to choose French borders, language and culture
Quoted here after coming in 2nd in the first round of the French elections yesterday:
It is a very simple choice for France. Either we carry on towards total deregulation without any borders or protection, and all that entails. With international unfair competition, mass immigration, the free trade, and the free circulation of terrorists.
Or you choose the France with borders that are going to protect her, employment, and a national identity.
So you have two choices. ...
I am the candidate of the people. I appeal to all sincere.. patriots to join us and abandon old-fashioned quarrels and particpate in the best interest of our country... and the survival of France. We will unite behind the project of renewal and they will be our brothers.

Single deadliest attack in 16-year Afghan war, perpetrated by just 10 Taliban, kills over 140
This is payback for the MOAB attack.
So bomb the water supplies in Afghanistan now. Cut off the money they make from well-irrigated opium.
From the story here:
Dressed in military uniforms, a squad of 10 Taliban militants drove in two army Ford Ranger trucks past seven checkpoints. They arrived inside northern Afghanistan’s largest military installation just as hundreds, perhaps thousands, of unarmed soldiers were emerging from Friday Prayers and preparing for lunch.
For the next five hours, the militants went on a rampage, killing at least 140 soldiers and officers in what is emerging as the single deadliest known attack on an Afghan military base in the country’s 16-year war. Some assailants blew themselves up among the soldiers fleeing for their lives, according to survivors, witnesses and officials.
Pat Buchanan still believes 3,407 votes "mistakenly" cast for him in Palm Beach County made W president
Here:
[Buchanan] won 3,407 votes in Palm Beach County, Florida—a liberal, heavily Jewish community—thanks to the “butterfly ballot” famously confusing many voters. George W. Bush won Florida by 537 votes, and Buchanan makes no bones about what happened. “The Lord intervened,” he says, grinning. “We sunk Al Gore and won the election for Bush.”
Like Nader wasn't to blame, or the libertarians, or "other".
There are many ways to cut the cake George W. Bush ate:

It's official: Trump disappoints us, tells AP he's not going after Dreamers
Trump's official policy?
He specifically campaigned on rescinding Obama's two immigration executive orders.
So he's flip-flopped. He's disappointed us.
Expect lots more of that.
Here, today:
President Donald Trump says young immigrants shielded from deportation - often referred to as "dreamers" - should "rest easy" about his immigration policies.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Trump says he is "not after the dreamers, we are after the criminals." He says "that is our policy."
President Barack Obama changed enforcement priorities to protect many young people brought to the country illegally as children from deportation.
Attorneys say 23-year-old Juan Manuel Montes was recently deported to Mexico despite having qualified for deferred deportation. Montes sued Tuesday for access to records on his deportation.
Trump says Montes' case is "a little different than the Dreamer case," though he did not specify why.

CNBC's resident libertarian calls GOP's new Obamacare repeal bill cowardly and small-minded
From the story here by Jake Novak:
Of course the waiver option is all about shifting the political heat if people start losing coverage. By making the individual states apply for waivers, the Republican Congress thinks it can effectively blame the governors and state legislators if things don't work out in the states that get those waivers. Not only is that craven politics, it's delusional. Anyone who thinks the Republicans in Washington won't own every aspect of the results of this new law if it's enacted is totally clueless. ... In short, we need courage and smarts. And this new Republican plan is cowardly and small-minded.
