Briton arrested on terrorism charges… because he fought against ISIS

https://www.rt.com/uk/419035-isis-terror-airport-james/

Silly man, picked the wrong side to fight for. If he had fought for ISIS, he would have been welcomed with open arms by the UK Authorities, just like hundreds of others have been so far...

Canada would have paid him.

Strangely, the US is now the sole bastion of climate denial, so don't count on the current administration to act on that.

I don't know about that. If you recall India and China seemed to have delayed their compliance with that Paris agreement- I am not going to dig into it, but as I recall they had some 10+ years if I recall. The issue really isn't denial, it's who pays the bills and how it effects economic activity. American workers are tired of subsidizing the entire world, just like the NATO deal- Merkel/Germany is hypocritical and it's strong economy is a deadbeat on NATO payments, and what about the back payments. I read somewhere that Greece of all countries- who has had a really tough time is up to date. Kinda ironic isn't it?

Also Brazil and Russia are polluters.

Terrorism in Europe is nothing new,

I realize that, and I also hate to remember seeing this as a kid, it was kind of like the first incident overseas where I saw something like this happen.

Japan, low murder rate but culture shuns outsiders, promotes conformity.

Japan is the only country I have been in where as a "gaijin"** I was asked to leave from sitting in a bar with a friend (who patronized the place daily for a year) before I visited him. We were requested by the owner to leave and give up chairs to Japanese people. That was a first and last time. No where else. Yet, it's probably one of the few "honest" countries you could lose your wallet and some random stranger would immediately run and pick it up, and deliver it to you. That happened to me also. Strange. Also, no graffiti in the trains. Not a scratch, crushed velvet seats. Unbelievable.

Mueller names social media accounts in indictment — here are the tweets
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/mueller-names-social-media-accounts-in-indictment-—-here-are-the-tweets/ar-BBJeqx7?li=BBnb7Kz

I know this account, I saw it all the time during the election. Had over 140,000 followers. Whenever something was going on, this account was always at the top. It was a Russian troll account all along.

And Nigel Farage... my favorite EU Parlamentarian. Pity he is no longer in Brussels to give them hell.

I have never seen Farage in action, only seen his name a few times. Great succinct speaker saying what nobody else has los huevos para decir.

Money will not save you. We cannot buy a second planet. We are already paying the price for destroying the environment actually.
Pollution: killing millions of people every year, causing health problems including cancer (= expensive care).
Not-so-natural disasters: climate change is also causing or amplifying desertification, drought, and various extreme phenomenons. Such as floods. Like those personally experienced by @Eric Lyon.
Climate change is already displacing populations and the trend is going up. This is what I call denial. More or more refugees are now climate refugees. The US too is exposed a lot to consequences of climate change.
It's not even about the future generations (to whom we could pass the buck). We are already suffering.
The economy has to adjust to the environment. Not the other way round, not happening.

Couldn't have described him in a better way...

The best of Nigel Farage in the European Parliament...

I sure miss watching him rip into all those "Payasos" in the EU Parliament

"You are not laughing now, are you?" Nigel Farage at European Parliament, a few days after the historic "Brexit" vote...

.

Wish we could clone Nigel and spread him around Europe and elsewhere, if requested.

Nicolle Wallace: ‘Let’s Be Honest’ Only Talking About Shooting Because Victims Were ‘White’

https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/n...ce-lets-be-honest-only-talking-about-shooting

Liberal media can't help but try to divide American. She' thinks she being virtuous b/c she believes she's better than most of America.

Every talking head at MSNBC / CNN / ABC / CBS / NBC leapt at opportunities to defame / slander conservatives as racist troglodytes for the last 9 years. Enough is enough. These people are as responsible for the break down in our society as anyone.

 

[Kate]

Farage is such an idiot. And the UK is not laughing now, they are in a big mess, they shot themselves in the foot. Guess what, Mr Farage is not delivering the solution, he's out of business and watching from the sidelines. He may even have a second passport, a luxury that most UK citizens don't have.

The Liberal Media and their talking head puppets can all shove it where the sun don't shine and then sit on it...

An Interview With Armstrong Williams on Trump’s Authenticity, Ben Carson’s Calming Effect, and Black Achievement
http://dailysignal.com/2018/02/16/i...ben-carsons-calming-effect-black-achievement/

Armstrong Williams. Black History Month isn't a tribute to a race, it's a tribute to America. A man worth listening too. A flawed but honest person who has done great things.

Mr Williams has a eye opening view of Donald Trump.
