France played England at Wembley last night...
[Click to View YouTube Video]
VIVE LE DASSAULT MIRAGE!
Meanwhile en Le Turkie Greece played Les Turks in Istanbul. Before the game
a moment of silence was asked for and the Turks booed the whole time.
Guess what you phuktards, you just lost France's vote to let you into the EU,
which you should never get into anyway.

The latest update from the French; now reporting the "mastermind" behind the attacks is dead. But ISIS has sown the Hydra's teeth, as every success brings new volunteers forward to blow themselves up.
Thankfully, Jerry Brown has agreed to take lots of these Syrian "refugees," since 30 other governors have said "no thanks."

The Paris terrorists were not Syrian refugees.

Thankfully Jerry Brown had the balls to do the right thing in the face of overwhelming cowardice on the part of GOP governors.

Yeah, right. We don't take care of our own poor and mentally challenged
so let's bring thousands more in. That should work out well, especially
for those already ignored, eh?

The history of immigration to America is also the history of bigots like Reilly who would pull up the ladder — now that his (and my) genocidal predecessors have already done the dirty work of terrorizing and murdering nearly all of the North American continent's original settlers (in the name of Christianity, note). But he's got his so up the ladder goes.
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Colossus
There was a time — around the time when these words were placed on a plaque inside the Statue of Liberty — when the name Reilly would have been, among certain bigots, sufficient cause for deep suspicion.

Yeah, 10b, as soon as I hit <return> I realized I forgot the Vets. My bad.
My autistic niece in Canada is really happy to hear that Justin 'I Don't
Care If It's Your Money' Trudeau is gonna bring in thousands there.
She really likes that her government won't provide her any housing or
long-term care but thinks that a bunch of foreigners are more deserving.

Well, as a vet who understands this wave of refugees is a direct consequence of our screwing the pooch I'd say it's pretty f*#king clear we, at the very least, have a responsibility to shoulder some of the burden we've unleashed.
P.S. All this cowardly xenophobia is exactly the response IS is looking for.

It's not xenophobia when you realize you can't have yer cake and eat it too.
You can play word games all day long but that doesn't put a roof over the
homeless' heads, give good care to our Vets, or treat our mentally challenged.
We've 40 million living in poverty and we need to bring in more?
And don't try to say Daesh is after anything other than abject nihilism.
They have no agenda other than mayhem.

If the libs wrote it now, instead of
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free . . . it would be something like
"give me your suicide bombers, your sharia imposers,
you huddled masses yearning to kill infidels, to rape and enslave etc."

California has enough problems without bringing in more..sheesh. Just where are we going to put them?
South central LA? Let me' shoot it out there. Seriously, we need to help resolve black on black crime before we haul in more non-assimilated people. LA is too freakin' full of non-assimilated.

This is arguably the wealthiest nation on the face of the earth.
What Reilly is seeing are the effects of the Great Divergence.
He's seeing pressure from the top. Instead of pushing back, he blames the folks on the bottom.

This kind of facile deranged stereotyping is how fascists operate.

Karen 10,000 will be admitted into the United States next year.
Proportionally, California should get about 1,000.
I really don't think that will overwhelm a state with a population of 40,000,000.
