    Apparently, Trump's English language requirement in the trucking industry has scared foreigners away. Entire trucking schools are empty and even closing. Many in the industry are elated for various reasons.

    One thing that always amazes me with the French state is that when kicked into gear, it's one of the most effective governmental bodies in the world.

    Let me know when the Mayor of Los Angeles could even imagine sending such guys to Skid Row. In France, and Europe, the tools exist, the laws exist, the men are there, the only thing left is the will. The will to do what is necessary, the will to exist. One man.

    Akshually Italy is an export-oriented, high-tech manufacturing economy that even by economists' standards is larger than the UK's despite a smaller population. Italy is a major machine tool exporter. Tesla got its giga-presses from a boutique Italian firm outside of Milan.

    Her mannerisms are a NYC thing with this generation, even down to the hand gestures. They're some of the most obnoxiously shallow people you'll meet.

    Exactly. I will say this: with my highly liberal female clients, I can say just about anything RW, and they have a tendency to agree. It's all about the delivery (and charm).

    One of myths the left dearly holds on to is that USA and CIA knocked off third world communist regimes during Cold War instead of what it actually did which was to set them up and prop them up.

    Here is one of the projects toward which the SNCF redirected its efforts after abandoning the California hIgH sPeEd RaIl because of the state's red tape and ineptitude.

    Who was directly behind European decolonization and the propping up of communist insurgencies globally beginning in the 1930s? United States

    Precisely, I have the same attitude...vagabonding between Europe and US. I will eventually inherit properties in future, so why buy now at not real prices and become slave for nothing? Crass, but realistic

    Perhaps this is the clue to this matter. Before, one planned his life in the different steps from marriage to retirement. A young person today doesnโ€™t believe he will get a pension, doesnโ€™t think heโ€™ll ever buy a house, doesnโ€™t know what job heโ€™ll have in 2-3 years. Conclude.

    Once again, watch how French police respond to America's Favorite Demographic's bad behavior. Imagine police responding as such at LAX.

    Homan is fantastic because he is cerebral, doesn't defend himself with left-wing lens and delivers his comments with bravado.

    REPORTER: "A 75-year-old Cuban national died in ICE custody. He had lived in the U.S. for 60 years..." HOMAN: "People die in ICE custody. People die in county jails. People die in state prisons." "The question should be, 'how many lives does ICE save?'"

    Of course, these thought leaders have emerged mostly out of Europe - something that Americans should both notice and heed.

    We tend to develop fondness for people we get to know. Possible this would be the case for any leader, that our every criticism would fall flat upon closer examination. I know Iโ€™ve come to really love Napoleon as if I knew him. But I suspect these were simply exceptional men.
