Fox News top headline this morning:

JUST FEET AWAY
Small group breaks from caravan, within 500 feet of US border, report says

First paragraph:
"A group of about 150 migrants carrying white flags that read, "La paz y Dios," or "Peace and God are With Us," separated from the larger caravan near Southern California and inched within 500 feet of the U.S., a report Thursday said."

----------

Oh, boy. We're in trouble now. 150 unarmed people have "inched" close to the border of the foremost superpower on the planet in broad daylight.
Hide the women and children! Prepare the nuclear launch codes! Contact the nearest SSBN!

We're raising a nation of cowards.

Nothing. Nothing about France on Fox News main page. Nothing. Would it surprise anyone if the overwhelming majority of Trump's loyal base didn't give a tinker's damn about France? Maybe not.

The proletariat is serious and I don't blame them. The gas tax is unfair because it has a severe impact on people who barely making ends meet and none on those flying around in private jets. But the gas tax is only the catalyst — problems there are much deeper.

Maybe Fox News fears the trouble could spill over to the U.S. and Trump may have to do something Presidential... not his strong suit.

I maintain the economic woes of France much resemble those that sparked the revolution of 1789. An unconscionable, quasi-legal advantage maintained by a small percentage of the population resulting in an unsustainable mis-distribution of wealth. Yep, the same problem we have.

I'm anticipating...

Eric Trump blasts Kellyanne Conway’s husband for showing ‘disrespect’ towards wife

Because the Trump men are all about respecting their wives. You can't make this stuff up. I think Eric just wants an SNL skit of his own.

If you have time (a lot of time) look at this article on Fox News:

Former Trump administration officials: A list of notable departures

foxnews.com/politics/former-trump-admin ... departures

Didn't make it all the way to the end yet. It's a bit like reading Marcel Proust's Remembrance of Things Past (In Search of Lost Time.)

BOMBERS IN THE BACKYARD
Russia mum after sending 2 nuclear-capable bombers to Venezuela

foxnews.com/world/russia-sends-two-bomb ... lationship

Trump is about to cave on the Monroe Doctrine — coward that he is. I'm no fan of JFK but at least he put his foot down when it came to the Soviets bringing nuclear delivery systems to the Western Hemisphere.

Putin is massing forces on the Ukrainian border and sending nuke capable bombers to Venezuela. What next? If Xi Jinping asks him nicely Trump may let him take Taiwan.. and his love affair with Kim will end with China making North Korea nuclear capable. Everytime I think the man's hit rock bottom he lowers the bar.

For some reason it bugs me when the first line of the post abuts the title of the thread, so I drop it 2 lines. I raise the pica to 110% so I don't need my reading glasses. And you guys can call me Lou.
