About time we had some good news right? Seems our friends in France have managed to beat back the always unpleasant Le Pen clan and reaffirm their commitment not only to all things French as they certainly should but also to Europe and even more expansively the world. After the UK packed it in and the USA abruptly took leave of its senses and joined the circus I really wondered if the Europeans would follow suit and go on holiday as well. Thankfully that does not appear to have been the case despite our good frenemies the Russians trying to pull a Trump on them at the last moment. Got to love the French. Tougher than they seem sometimes. Not all brie and a nice bottle of wine that’s for sure. Anyway, I thought this might be a good excuse to take one more shot at the whole immigration issue as it appears to be a pretty big deal overseas. Well, here too I suppose but not really the same thing. Folks in Europe are a lot closer to all the mayhem going on in the Middle East right now, have done a lot more to help the refugees from that benighted region of the world, and have been trying to assimilate people a lot more foreign and sometimes dangerously anti-social than the occasional bad hombre arriving in the USA from our long suffering neighbor to the south. So let me say a few more words this week about immigration with Muslim immigration as the specific example.
First let me just say this issue I feel has nothing or should have nothing really to do with how one personally feels about the religion of Islam...
