Gang terrorizes train in France. The cauldron continues to boil. They took the lid off long enough for some heat to escape but they did not solve the problem. The perps know they can get away with this and will continue to become bolder and bolder until a serious crackdown. The Gendarms will have to go in large numbers and will likely require some military assistance to quell the next outbreak. The "north african immigrants" (read: black and muslim) are moving in progressively larger numbers. If this continues apace, look for a strong rightward move in France on both a national and local level. They are, however, stuck in that these kids are citizens and many of them born in France. It's not going to be as simple as deporting them from whence they came. I feel like a broken record on this. Call me Cassandra
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
