www.nytimes.com/2017/02/05/us/politics/scott-pruitt-is-seen-cutting-the-epa-with-a-scalpel-not-a-cleaver.html?_r=1WASHINGTON — Scott Pruitt, President Trump’s pick to run the Environmental Protection Agency, is drawing up plans to move forward on the president’s campaign promise to “get rid of” the agency he hopes to head. He has a blueprint to repeal climate change rules, cut staffing levels, close regional offices and permanently weaken the agency’s regulatory authority. But Mr. Pruitt, a lawyer who made a career suing the E.P.A., is not likely to start with the kind of shock and awe that Mr. Trump has used to disorient Washington. Instead, he will use the legal tools at his disposal to pare back the agency’s reach and power, and trim its budget selectively.

I could not view this because it did not like my ad blocker. However, I found the following youtube video on the issue. It would seem that outside of the 'political class', Europeans are apparently not shy in registering their opposition to Muslim immigration. Sample size is not discussed but it seems that approval was limited to no more than 32% in any European country. Political leaders seem to be blind (willingly?) everywhere in the West. Practical people seem to be saying that a Leopard can indeed be judged by its spots, at least on average. www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9DRZ3gAraE&feature=iv&src_vid=ylGvHdr0reQ&annotation_id=channel%3A52406101-0-2d9f-8df2-89e013a2908

Man Naut, that is scary. You present the puzzling situation very clearly.
Have the western Caucasians run low on testosterone? We would be safer living among African gorillas in our neighborhoods than these people bent on destroying us.

Trump this week let slip since he’s taken office he has become aware of scary information related to terrorism "Believe me, I've learned a lot in the last two weeks, and terrorism is a far greater threat than the people of our country understand," abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-attacks-travel-ban-challengers-bad-high-school/story?id=45345238
I suspect his recent EO calling for a stay on immigration is from whatever he knows that we don’t. I think we should be careful what we wish for or at least remember the tale of the scorpion and the turtle. Europe is a living (ongoing) test of whether that folk tale is valid. Any bets on how that turns out? Odds?
