I continue to be impressed by Obama’s EPA head Gina McCarthy as noted here (never forget that it’s a testimonial to the type of leader we have that they appoint skilled people in their jobs – something which drove me absolutely nuts about Number 43 – and McCarthy is a pro as far as I’m concerned)...
…and I would say that Col. Jack Jacobs does a pretty darn good job here of spelling out exactly what we’re up against in trying to defeat ISIS…
…and I present this video to show that it wasn’t that long ago when we were pulling this “freedom fries” and “freedom toast” nonsense to protest the fact that French President Jacques Chirac told a certain Former President Highest Disapproval Rating In Gallup Poll History that he was full of crap over his Not So Excellent Adventure in Mesopotamia (a stand that looks pretty prescient now of course).
Well, despite the horrific violence suffered by that country this year, President Francois Hollande has promised to take in 30,000 Syrian refugees over the next two years (here). Meanwhile, in this country, 31 Republican governors have proven themselves to be utter cowards on this issue (here), along with some Democratic politicians also (here and here).
I don’t know if there are any restaurants featuring what you might call American cuisine in the “city of light,” but if there are, they should feature a cut of beef on their menu called “run-and-hide rump roast” – just a thought…
…and really, were you surprised by this?
