The dilemma the Syrian refugee crises is causing.

When compassion strike against people's safety   you have a dilemma. And that is what we have  the Syrian refugee crises. True enough this issue is being demagogue by the like of Ted Cruz and even nice Mike Huckbee. After all, Obama just wants 10,000 Syrian refugees to settle in America, out population of more them 300 hundred million. But only take one member of ISIS with a dirty bombe to cause much havoc.

Where have all the Consevatives gone in the U.S?

After seeing this summer of discontent, I wonder what is a conservative? I always believe conservatism was rooted in the philosophy of Edmund Burke, where institution like courts are respected because they are a key to civilized society.
But many who say they are conservative mock our courts, government it's self Wall Street and in doing so attacking capitalism, and even attacking follow Republicans, the leadership in because they don't want to drink the kool aid.

Who is father of the Israeli military?

Who is father of the Israeli military? Believe or not, a non-Jewish British office named Orde Wingate. Wingate organize Kibbutzs into defence posts to defend against Arab insurgents. He also organizes the Special Night Squad a forerunner of counter-insurgency.

Is Francois Hollande another Guy Mollet?

Is Francois Hollande another Guy Mollet? People are surprise that Socialist like Hollande is taking hard line on ISIS. But another Socialist politician Guy Mollet who Prime Minster in Forth Republic, wher Prime Minster was the boss took a line against Nasser nationaling the Suez canal.He hope to save Algeria for the French. It didn't ruin Mollet career Algeria would gain it's independence under De Gaulle for he was Frenchman that could pull it off. The military had fit almost a coup the end of Forth Republic and De Gaulle created the fifth Republican the President was no longer a figure head he had the power.

I got a letter to the editor pubished in New York Daily News on 11/21/15

I got a letter to the Editor published in the New York Daily News on 11/21/15. It was about Syrian refugee crisis. This is what appeared in the paper:" Are the Syrians the new Jews? The demagoguing of the Syrian refugee crisis, mostly by Republican candidates for President, is reminiscent on how the State Department under Franklin Roosevelt handled Jewish immigration from Europe. Limits led to the death of many Jews. And there's no doubt that with a stop to Syrian immigration, many Syrians will die. Shame on us for being led astray on trails of bigotry."

Mr. Law and Order R.I.P (Fred Thompson)

Mr. Law and Order R.I.P (Fred Thompson) died a few weeks ago.
Mr. Law and Order is dead, so emblematic of our times. For clarion call of the 1960's and 1970's was Law and Order. Of the sophisticated simpletons mock the clarion calls for law and order, but people knew better, henceforth, in the 1980's society push forward ideas to stop crime.And it work made us safer but might work too well today we are turning bad the clock to bad out days of 1960's.
Ferd Thompson of course had magic life,first being minority council in Watergate hearing then distinguish acting career and of course he was a U>s Senate the best job in the world.

Paris is burning.

Paris is burning, but will anyone put out the fire? And when the smoke clears will anyone care? For we play this game of outrage demanding our pols take action and when they do,especially if there not part of the Left-wing cabal of nonsense, within a year or so we damend they be arrest while the terrorists are laughing at us.
We do not understand who we are fighting against for Muslim brutes of terrorism are in some ways worst then Nazi or Communism for Muslim terrorist do not fear death. The only way to defeat these animals is a no bars war, if you will, a nasty war where we throw out the rules of civilization, for if we don't it will be end of Western Civilization.  

Thoughts on the passing of Veterans Day.

Veterans Day has come and gone(today is 11/15/15 and Veterans Day is on Nov. 11 the day in 1918 World war Ended) and have feeling of sadness. For only does one think of young men who give the ultimate sacrifice for our nation( the U.S.A) so we can live free. But I also have a personal reason for sadness, ten years ago I lost my father, he was born on 11/11/1918 and like so any of his generation he serve in World War Two in the Army. So ironic he was born on the day the war to end all wars was bring to a end, yet only twenty years later the world again explored into conflict.Will we ever lean or is human beast so wired that conflict is inevitable. 

Why are retail satock crashing?

Retail stocks like Wal-Mart, Macys, Nordstrom and Kohl's have been dropping like rock. Why? Is it competition from the internet, or harbinger of bad economic times to come? For consumer spending accounts for two-third of the American economy and last it only rose less then 1 percent of 1 percent, now low gas price account for that, but remember when gas price begin to fall so many people said it was like tax cut, henceforth, people would begin to spend.It hasn't happen so what are people doing with money? Not saving maybe paying down debt? Wal-Mart once and maybe still is a bellweather for American Economy.
Wibur Ross, the great distressed investor said to protect one's self for rasing interests buy bank stock. I didn't understand why he said nothing about margins being higher with high interest. It's all about margin for profit, a bank with higher interest will charge more but if there have pay more for there money maybe less profit to be made.
This morning saw interview with Sarah Palin on CBs this morning and was a favorable piece.   

The dye was casted for future troubles in Mid-East with collapse of the Ottoman Empire

There is much misinformation about Mid-East, the U.S role in that area, and what cause 9/11. Now social media, Google plus I seem post state Iran-Contra was cause 9/11 another stating U.S meddling in area for last fifty. All this is nonsense,the modern Mid-East really started after WW1 when the Ottoman Empire went bye-bye and somebody had pick up pieces.And would be the British and French.
There were two documents that would change the region forevermore: one Balfour Declaration( promising a homeland for the Jews) the second was Sykes-Picot Agreement. In Georgina Howell book," Gertrude Bell queen of the Desert, shaper of nations" page 307 it states," Now too Arabs had learnt of the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916 which parceled up the Middle East between Briton, France and Russian! The Sykes-Picot was betray of Arabs who Brit had promise an Arab independent State if fought  the Ottoman's.
Faisal ibn Hussain had fought beside T.E Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) for Arab freedom and had giving up his father's claim to be king Palestine( indeed, he supported the Balfour Declaration as did Lawrence but not Gertrude Bell) for exchange to king of greater Arab state called Greater Syria. Faisel was king of greater Syria for a year then French step in and took over, I think as a consolation prize Faisal was made king of Iraq, a country largely created by Gertrude Bell. Faisal bother Abdullah was made king of another new country Transjordan.
Lawrence never forgive the French for betray of the Greater Syria not going to Arabs.
The Balfour Declaration was a debt paid to Chaim Weizman who was British citizen, a chemist who invented an explosive which help the British greater in WW1 but Weizman  refused payment instead he asked the government to support a homeland for Jews. Curiously in British cabinet only person to vote against the Balfour Declaration was Edwin Montagu who was the only Jew in the cabinet.
