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.

US Foreign Policy


For John, BLUFOne of the questions that needs to be asked in our Nation's corridors of power is who runs US foreign policy, the President or the Establishment.  Nothing to see here; just move along.




From The Babylon Bee, 19 December 2018.

Here is the lede plus one:

After Trump announced that US troops would be pulled out of Syria, the President was quickly criticized by leaders on both the left and the right for breaking with the longstanding American tradition of remaining in Middle Eastern countries indefinitely.

Trump drew ire from both sides of the aisle for his "careless and reckless" disregard for the beloved American custom of meddling overseas without a congressional declaration of war and then hanging around for another few decades.

It is satire.  On the other hand, a year and a half later it still seems real.

While there is talk, from time to time, about President Trump not following the advice of the experts in foreign policy, in fact he is reflecting the beliefs of the voters.  Many Americans, I would think a majority, are against this continuing deployments in foreign lands with risks to our young men and women in the military and the foreign service.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit, for this posting today.
