The WSJ writes, “Yogi Berra was among baseball’s greatest catchers, but his career was overshadowed by the more enduring fame that came from simply being Yogi Berra: the polite 8th-grade dropout whose contributions to American English rivaled Mark Twain’s. Mr. Berra, who died Tuesday at the age of 90, played for the New York Yankees […]
Stop Immigration, Legal and Illegal
France’s FN party leader Marine Le Pen has an explicit goal: “My aim is clear: to stop immigration both legal and illegal.” Le Pen continues, “Undocumented immigrants should not receive state-funded medical care and social security and social security payments to asylum-seekers should end.” The FN leader also called for “all foreigners on file for […]
European Migration Rift Intensifies
“Europe should strengthen its external borders to discourage migration. Hungary last week decided to extend its border fence with non-EU member Serbia to parts of its border fence with fellow EU members Croatia and Romania, which are outside Europe’s open border Schengen area.” “Tensions between Hungry, Croatia and Romania rose amid the crisis, with Hungary […]
From Our Paris Window
Pat Buchanan suggests that it is in America’s interest not to have Assad fall. America and NATO were 100% responsible for taking out Saddam and Kadhafi, thus destabilizing the Middle East. No destabilization, no ISIS. Now, the very same neocon crowd that pushed Bush to invade Iraq and Obama to take out Kadhafi wants to […]

Go Pats! Here are some historical statistics from the win, as the Patriots […]
Presidential Debates Intelligence
Nothing is learned in these early going debates as to who may become the next president. Early polling results have a habit of throwing off misguided information. However, candidates can offer intelligence on their various positions and can also harm themselves with ill-advised pronouncements that come back later to bite. With this disclaimer in mind, […]
Greetings From Paris
This morning’s Le Figaro headline: “Migrants: Paris confrontee a la multiplication des campements.” It doesn’t take much command of French to get the picture that the words migrants, multiplication, and campments paint. Yes, it’s a mess. Anne Hidalgo is Paris’ ultra-liberal socialist mayor and is not up to the task of stemming the refugee horde. […]
Good Morning from Le Bristol Hotel, Paris
This morning’s Le Figaro’s headline: “Les migrants font voler en eclats L’espace Schengen.” Schengen refers to the 26 country European agreement to eliminate passport and immigration controls at their joint borders. The agreement allows citizens of these 26 European countries to travel in and out of these 26 countries as if in one country. The […]
A History Lesson From Thomas Jefferson
Greetings from Paris and Le Bristol Hotel
Debbie and I are at Le Bristol, Paris just a few blocks down from Élysée Palace, the official residence of the French president. During the last French presidential election, we were able to stand directly in front of the Élysée’s front-entrance gate while celebrity interviews were underway. Later on, with no real sense of urgency […]
