Notably: As you enjoy this year’s edition of the French Open at Roland Garros, the venue at the edge of Paris named for the pilot who first flew across the Mediterranean and, more destructively, invented the forward-facing and firing aircraft machine gun, you might want to note that the stadium, opened in 1928, turned into a concentration camp for Jews, “undesirable” migrants and others the French wanted to throw out before Germany invaded in World War II, and immediately after the Germans attacked Poland. “At Roland Garros, we called ourselves the cave dwellers, about 600 of us who lived beneath the stairways of the stadium,” Arthur Koestler wrote in The Scum of the Earth. “We slept on straw — wet straw, because the place leaked. We were so crammed in, we felt like sardines … It smells of filth and excrement, and only slits of light can find their way inside. Few of us knew anything about tennis, but when we were allowed to take our walk in the stadium, we could see the names Borotra and Brugnon on the scoreboard.” In the United States we had the decency to build our concentration camps from scratch to hold 120,000 Japanese-Americans, though lately we’ve outdone the French, converting warehouses never made for human beings into concentration camps for migrants. Who’s the scum of the earth now?

Week by week, I was rising to new heights, and when you ascend that quickly, and at such an early age, the oxygen doesn’t always flow to your brain.
–From see John McEnroe’s You Cannot Be Serious (2002).
Dennis C Rathsam says
Everyone, with 1/2 a brain knows this will never happen. The Democrats, are in a hissy fit, the man they love to hate, has out smarted them time & time again! TRUMPS plans to give kids a grub stake, for their future is simply brilliant! Look at all the rich Americans, contributing to this fund. Still haven’t seen a plan from the Jackass party, how they would fix not 1 thing? All they know how to do is play the same ole song over & over. WE HATE TRUMP!!!!!! If I were a Democrat, Id be piss off too! TRUMP found so much fraud, looting, their world is falling apart. Money is not coming in as expected, the Democrates are poor, & out of ideas, as all their lies & cover ups have been exposed for all America to see. More Democratic scandals, will pop up,as the days grow longer! They are the party with sticky fingers, while American kids, who all this money was intended for have little food, & no Dr to see.

And the rest of us have a whole brain.
Laurel says
It just blows me away, that this self involved man can tear up our capital city, the White House, and our country, while Republican politicians stand by and do nothing. Well, they do actually ask for more money for his destructive behavior. They know if they don’t continuously suck up, their careers are ruined. Fear rules. Fear is a cheap, and powerful commodity for Trump. They hold their careers as more important than all the rest of us, and our country’s position in the world. Somehow, they think it will all just work out, I guess. Well, only if we vote them all out, and that can’t be soon enough.
The Democrat politicians better step up, though, or they will be sent home too. As Independents, we need to not adhere to a favorite party, research the candidates and see who is full of the same, old sh*t, and who’s for real.
Vote accordingly.
Taxpayer says
I research everyone before I cast my vote and I sure am not going to vote for someone that constantly lies and thinks more of themselves than being a person that keeps their promise and works hard to make their voters know they care about them.

According to a story just published by The Independent, due to continued violence in Lebanon, Iran has walked away from peace negotiations.
Make of this what you will.
Me?
The Strait of Hormuz remains throttled. Of what value is energy independence?
Laurel says
Value to some, until the reserves run out (soon) and renewables killed.
Next we’ll be hearing “drill baby, drill” again, in our National Parks. Trump is already selling the Parks lumber.
Back to the past, while the world moves forward.

Can’t wait till Jan. 19, 2029! Hoping some amount morality and sanity returns to our country!

Back to the past, while the world moves forward.

Well, well! The Republicans told Trump he won’t get the money for his slush fund and toy White House project! Good! So, what does he do? He took his ball(room) and went home, and told them he doesn’t care what they do with the East Wing. He tears it up and walks away. Just as long as his sons and himself, can be immune to any and all IRS crimes. Will the same Republicans hem and haw about that, or step up and slam that down too?
Explain this to me, supporters, please! Use factual, checkable data please.
