This is really Tom Streyer pulling the ditz's strings. Expect Trump to pull the rug out from under it just to raise Streyer's blood pressure. Note that thanks to Trump, he could stop imports of Venezuelan oil as a 'sanction' and gas prices in the US have remained low or falling. Under the previous administration prices would have spiked up to well above $3/gal as US was so dependent on oil imports. Energy independence == Foreign policy independence

Lotta Crow Being Eaten in Democrat Circles These Days of the Jim Crowe Variety.All the best families are having it, it seems. All the fine young cannibals are gathering for a self feasting event. What goes around, comes around. Couldn't happen to a finer group of people. I should probably show a little more Christian charity. But my empathy button is broken on that channel. Virginia may undergo a second reconstruction.

Makes you wonder what this is costing France in Euros, Francs or dollars.

Makes you wonder what this is costing France in Euros, Francs or dollars. It is the loss of the 'hearts and minds' that will be worse. This is now a self-fueling campaign and not just a single issue protest. Macron can no longer win, he will have to resign. It could even lead to a Marie le Pen government and possible #Frexit, and the EU and the Euro being close to or actually collapsing. The stakes are now extremely high.

I don't normally afford CNN the benefit of a click, but this piece looked interesting and I didn't immediately find a substitute. An Express headline might be "War in Europe". And who knows. Could make this summer's trip to Liguria and the coastal Maritime Alps interesting. edition.cnn.com/2019/02/08/europe/france-italy-macron-salvini-spat-intl/index.html

Indeed: “History does not repeat itself, but it rhymes” - attributed to Mark Twain While trying to avoid sounding like a strange "galactic impacts dude", it still strikes me as "interesting" that this chaos appears as the geomagnetic index collapses ... like our little electro-magnetic synapses short out in certain parts of the population. What would Freud say? Or Tesla?

"Do you remember Hillary Clinton? I know, I know. Now, do you remember her campaign slogan? It was “I’m with her!” Incredibly, I still see the peculiar blue-on-white bumper sticker with an “H” on the odd Prius or Volvo in Washington, D.C. It always reminds me of the international symbol for “Hospital.” Appropriate, no? Now, let me ask you a harder question. Do you remember what candidate Trump did to that slogan? How he took it, twisted it, and deployed it as a truly deadly rhetorical H-bomb against Hillary? <<<<{ snip }>>>>> .....I never thought I would see him out-do that ultimate exemplar of political communication..... amgreatness.com/2019/02/06/the-art-of-the-sotu/
