There is great quote from Braveheart that applies here.Longshanks: Scotland; my land. The French will grovel to anyone with strength, but how will they believe our strength when we cannot rule the whole of our own island?
A little turnaround is in order here though. France will never be taken seriously when it can't control it own streets.PARIS Rowdy revelers in France torched 425 vehicles overnight in scattered New Year's Eve unrest that has become an annual problem in troubled neighborhoods, the national police chief said Sunday. Last year, 333 cars were burned. Police Chief Michel Gaudin also said there were no major clashes this year between youths and police overnight, as had been feared. In what has become an annual tradition every New Year's Eve, youths set several hundred cars ablaze in France as festivities get out of hand.
Police were especially cautious this time because of the wave three weeks of rioting and car burning that started in late October. A state of emergency imposed during the rioting is still in effect, and 25,000 police were on alert for the holiday.
Ignoring the MSM writing style, you still have to love the words. "Rowdy Revelers...", "..annual tradition..", "..festivities get out of hand.", and "Police were especially cautious."Should have been cracking heads. Pathetic.StrangePolitics gives the forcast for France.
Part of me says, "Hey I want one.." Another part of me says, "Holy crap, that scares the shi'ite out of me."

Keeping up with the Russia-Ukraine gas war? You better. This is indications and warnings about what happens to those who do not have energy independence and diversity. Being addicted to the carbon drug is no way to prepare for your children's future...or your old age. Sure, wind and solar can only reach into the teens in percentage of total power, but that is extra cushion you need. 10% here and there, after awhile.....Hugged your nuclear engineer lately?
Danielle Ansley: Proof America's future is secure. This 11th grader from Arlington Christian School just set me back.This was a cartoon by Mike Luckovich of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, using the names of the soldiers who have died.And in response.
The first time I saw Mike Luckovich’s drawing of the word “WHY?”, made up of the names of 2,000 troops killed in Iraq, was when my mother was putting it up on our refrigerator. It bothered me that no one did a response showing how others feel. On Nov. 8, I got an updated list of the names of the war dead and started writing them, spelling out “FREEDOM.” Six days later, it was done. I only worked on it in my free time at school. It took me about 12 hours to get it done, so needless to say I devoted many of my classes to this, and stayed late after school to work on it. I didn’t take it home and show it to my mother until I had prints made. She and I have different views of things. She said that, as a mother, she didn’t like it that so many people have been killed. She was not happy when I placed my work next to Luckovich’s “WHY?” on the fridge, but it hasn’t been taken down. I may seem as if I am too young to have an opinion on matters like these. I am not saying that my opinion is right, for an opinion is just that — someone’s views on something. But, like a child’s voice, an opinion is often not heard.

If this was my daughter, I would be in tears out of pride. Bravo Zulu.Hat tip EvilCon via Flopping Aces.

All praise the South!! Two good ones that touch the core to all great Americans: cars and drinking.I offer:From the Great State of Florida: Adjustments to the "Road Rage Reduction Act" (AKA SB224; AKA Good German Road rules come to the Sunshine State.) I bring your attention to section 1, para 1.c, lines 13-19:13 (c) Upon a roadway divided into three marked lanes for
14 traffic under the rules applicable thereon. However, upon any
15 limited access roadway having two or more lanes for each
16 direction of travel, any vehicle driven in the left-most lane
17 shall yield right-of-way to any vehicle traveling at a higher
18 speed by moving to the nearest lane to the right at the first
19 practicable and safe opportunity; or
Praise (insert diety here)!! If there was one state that needed it (after Hawaii) is was FL. Translates as "Get out of the Left lane or Smokey will arrest you for being stupid!!!!From the State that had the palm nuts to start a fight with the Yankees - South Carolina. The year 2005 wasn't the only thing being toasted away in some South Carolina bars. Partygoers and bar owners could finally say good riddance to the minibottle. For 22 years, South Carolina law required bartenders to use the tiny 1.7-ounce bottles most often associated with airplanes and hotel minibars.
The minibottle rule started as a temperance issue, and it hung on through the yeas as lawmakers resisted repeated calls by bars and restaurants to change it.
Then, last year, South Carolinians voted the minibottles out, and lawmakers followed through earlier this year by approving regulations to give bars and restaurants the choice to pour from the big bottles starting Jan. 1.
Oh, happy day. A night in Tommy Condons will be much better. Mmmm. In my retirement planning notebook, remind me to put two happy faces next to FL and SC.
It is just another year.
