The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

Ilhan Omar Choose Poorly


For John, BLUF:  Bless her little heart, she just doesn't understand the larger cultural ramifications.  Nothing to see here; just move along.


This InstaPundit Blog post, by Mr Ed Driscoll, was up on 30 October 2019.

Here is the post:

UNEXPECTEDLY:  Ilhan Omar one of three House reps to vote ‘present’ on Armenia genocide bill.  “Omar refused to back a resolution Tuesday that recognized the slaughter of Armenians by Ottoman Turks during WWI as a ‘genocide.'”
How her District votes in 2020 will tell us more about the Voters than it will about her.

To me, it seems this issue is exacerbated by the modern Republic of Turkey not being able to break with the Ottoman Empire, which it replaced in 1923.  If a distinction could be draw then there might be reconciliation.  But, it would require recognition that terrible things happened, things Representative Omar can't see—"some people did something."

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
