The day is not far off when Arabs and Africans will want to live not in refugee camps and migration centers but in the apartments of the current owners. They will want to live like the formers owners lived, and not near them but in their place. Of course, in order to uphold the European standard of living there has to be knowledge and labor. Electricians, doctors, engineers, pilots and so on are needed. Hundreds of professions and succession of order and government are needed. That is why the future of a tattered Europe is dark. The majority of migrants will not care to study and work. The majority wants to take what is not theirs by force, to trample underfoot the miniature, man-made paradise as Attila the Hun trampled and plundered Rome.
Unfair: Attila was reasonably cultured and had an understanding of the Romans.
They have little interest in what will come later. They are only the axe in the hand of the wielder, and an axe is not accustomed to thinking. But that will come later. For now the migrants are the same "whip of God" for Europe as the barbarians were for the Eternal City. Even those immigrants who have gone corrupt in the European manner (for they do get corrupted in Europe) will not become tolerant. They will remain as religiously motivated foreigners, mystically hating the godless whites who are fattened and paralyzed.
In Europe a right flank is possible and expected. Various ultras and fascist youths, boiling racism, is being born in places such as soccer fields. But this will not save the situation in and of itself. This will be agony. The situation can only be cured if Europe returns to its ancient Christian religiousness. Victory has to take place in the spirit. But this only antidote has to be recognized as impossible. Europe does not have the strength for a Christian renaissance.
Read the whole thing. The Russian is onto something. I hope he's wrong about Europe's spiritual weakness. I was just thinking about Saint Genevieve of Paris, and how she went out and faced Attila the Hun when the men of Paris had fled ‐ and turned him away from the city. Nothing is impossible.
[Free Beacon] Liberal MSNBC host Chris Matthews said Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R.) was the winner of Tuesday night’s vice-presidential debate with Sen. Tim Kaine (D., Va.), calling Kaine "desperate" regarding his repeated interruptions.
"Overall, I think the winner tonight will end up being, in terms of the debate and what they were trying to accomplish, Pence, because Pence really was solid," Matthews said. "He looked like he had his head screwed on, and I think that’s going to look very important for [Donald] Trump, who doesn’t often look like he has his head screwed on. I think it was very important for him to look like a grown-up."
Matthews said Pence made up for the mistakes made by his running mate Trump in the first debate with Hillary Clinton on Sept. 26, saying Pence’s "body language was excellent."
"He had to defend Donald Trump, but he came across as a grown-up, strong," Matthews said. "I thought he was very effective at being a conservative."
Matthews said Pence had made himself the frontrunner for the 2020 Republican nomination with his debate performance, saying he hit "all the bases" on conservative issues and even praising his eloquence on his pro-life position regarding abortion.
I believe it was H. R. Clinton who said, "Abortion should be save, available, and rare."
Broken clock.

Tim Kaine is an example of Hillary's horrible decision making inability...is that the best she could do? His. Rowing achievement as gov of VA was to shut down the highway rest areas until the Rep state legislature approved a $1B tax increase...they stayed osed...and we considered Kaine an idiot which he still is.
Pence was solid and demonstrated Trumps CEO cred for starting a good team. Trump may be crazy, but if he surrounds himself with folks like Pence we will be in good shape.

Kaine didn't do Hillary any favors. He came across as trying to dominate the conversation, acting like what he had to say was more important than what anyone else had to say, constantly interrupting, and distorting and lying. Sophomoric. Appeared to be a guy who gives con-artists and carjackers a bad name.

Kaine is such an obnoxious little prick that he made Joe Biden look like a gentleman...and Joe Biden is no gentleman.
Kaine would not let Pence complete a single sentence. That was his strategy. He and his mistress do not want people to hear what Pence had to say. It's what Democrats do. When they can't present a decent argument themselves they drown out, shout down the opposition. It's dishonest and undemocratic. It's Democrats.
The only solution is to put both candidates in sound proof rooms where the moderator can switch off their microphones if they speak out of turn. But then, you'd have to trust the moderators who are employees of the MSM so the Republican candidate would never be heard at all.

Sorry, I just wanted to read it in a larger, more distinctive font.
[PJ] Hillary Clinton made two stops in my home state of Ohio Monday, visiting usual Democrat strongholds Akron and Toledo:
However, this is her first stop in the Buckeye State since before Labor Day, and media coverage over the past few days has hinted that Clinton may be writing off the long-time political bellwether state.
Notably, left-leaning media appears to be treating the development as sour grapes.
On Monday, one article appeared in TIME magazine and one was published by the AP, both dismissing Hillary's need for Ohio in her campaign's electoral college calculus. Things have "changed," apparently:
"This election has taken on a Newspeak, Big Brother, Thought Police quality. It's the same quality that bullies use everywhere. The horrible joke is that it's the Hillary people who are doing it -- but they are the ones who call Trump a bully. Don't get me wrong. In a small, schoolyard way, Trump was a bully in the primaries. But now he's up against the master Sturmabteilung bullies of the left. It's a terrifying proposition: the one party media and anyone who speaks against it is a Thought Criminal ( "Thoughtcrime does not entail death, Winston...Thoughtcrime is death....") and then the one-party state. Pray for a Republican Congress. But in the meantime, the walls have ears."

At the close of the Spanish Civil War George Orwell resided in Barcelona and cast his anathama on both the Left (the Anarchists and Communists) and Right (the Fascists). Living hand to mouth, I wonder if the starving writer had any idea how important his prognostication of modern political movements ("thoughtcrime is death") would one day become.

Divine inspiration only. He surely could never have imagined an American Obama or a Clinton.

...well our founders did, that's why they wrote the text of the Constitution they way they did. It just got 'interpreted' out of existence. The fundamental flaw was to have one branch of government immune to accountability and allowed to sit for life.
[DAWN] LAWS enacted in Pakistain that guarantee equality and protection for women have never been extended to Fata. Treated as personal property, their fate tied to tribal customs or riwaj, tribal women have limited recourse to the law under the colonial-era FCR. Because the underlying component of tribal society is patriarchal, women must live by the rules of engagement set by men. This is the context of a report in this paper over the weekend that focuses on the appalling practice of buying and selling women, a custom codified under Turizona law in Kurram Agency ...home of an intricately interconnected web of poverty, ignorance, and religious fanaticism, where the laws of cause and effect are assumed to be suspended, conveniently located adjacent to Tora Bora... . Established under British rule in 1944, this law allows for tribal women to be purchased like cattle for the purposes of matrimony and at varying price tags -- rasmana or money that the heirs of a woman receive when she is sold. Her price depends on whether she is single, married, widowed or even kidnapped. Indeed, such sordid customs -- vulvar and swara included -- must have no legal standing whatsoever in the 21st century. The challenge is to ensure that anti-women customary laws are not codified in the process of instituting reforms in Fata. However, a clean conscience makes a soft pillow... pro-women reforms will not be widely accepted without changing the perceptions of tribal men. This is doable through education and instituting gender equality via legal and political reforms. One way to weaken tradition is to repeal outmoded laws that are replete with inhumane and discriminatory clauses.
Surely the government knows that what is due to women needs attention in the tribal region; laws justifying customs deny them their right to gender equality and fuel religious intolerance and violence, whether they disenfranchise women or subject them to forced marriages to settle feuds. The latter is criminalised in the rest of the country, but not in Fata. Even though political agents have appellate power over jirgas, they acquiesce in decisions adversely impacting women. The superior court’s jurisdiction must be extended to Fata so that women can seek constitutional protection. That their lives have been gravely threatened by militancy and disrupted by military operations further underscores the necessity of removing legally enshrined gender-based discrimination when mainstreaming Fata. If ever there was the right moment for debate around reforming a much-neglected region and the status of its women, this is it. Further, for counter-insurgency to succeed, women as one of the most affected groups must be at the core of peace-building and political decision-making.

[Atlas Network] The road to hell is certainly paved with good intentions -- just ask a millennial. Ours is, after all, the demographic that is being hit the hardest by decades of social programs and discretionary fiscal and monetary policies that, no matter how well intentioned, are ultimately harmful. It should come as no surprise that those of us between the ages of 18 and 35 will likely not achieve the same financial success as our parents and grandparents -- at least not as easily as they did. It will take most of us a longer time to graduate from college, get our first job, and buy our own home. We’ll pay into the current system, but we won’t get much of a return.
As Diana Furchtgott-Roth and Jared Meyer, of Atlas Network partner the Manhattan Institute, masterfully note in their new book Disinherited: How Washington Is Betraying America’s Young, "the old gain and the young pay." The book is by no means an attack on any one politician or political party, however, and that’s an effective approach. Through objective research and candid interviews of real millennials, the authors are able to lead their readers to understand that many of the key problems faced by millennials are caused by policies enacted by federal, state, and local governments.
To illustrate these problems, Disinherited is broken up into four main parts: "Stealing from the Young to Enrich the Old," "Keeping Young People Uneducated," "Regulations That Cripple the Young," and "Where To from Here? "

This has been going on for a very long time, in particular the money wasted on what has, for many young people, been a phony education with little authentic value.
Most of the college degrees given over the past 30 or so years have been ridiculous things a chimp could get, particularly in the arts and humanities and social "sciences". All that "education" has been a tremendous waste of resources that could have been better directed to provide a more productive society. This will not end well.
The "stealing form the old" part has been going on for a while, too. Most estimates of the actual size of public retirement obligations run from 80-100 trillion, which is probably unfundable absent future generations paying three-quarters of their income in taxes so that people in their mid-sixties who were employed by various levels of government can have a fifteen year cushy retirement. That will not end well.
The regulatory leviathan (and it's evil sister and parasite, the "human resources" industry) makes employing people a paperwork nightmare, an ever-increasing financial liability and cost center instead of value added, and drives the number of employees that any given business will hire down. This will also not end well.

I believe I know whom we have to thank for this progressive, egalitarian cock-up. I was reminded of their handiwork (and model) last week when I visited the Atlanta VA.

It isn't just the money. It's also the time and the energy. Think of what could be accomplished with all that youthful energy and time if it wasn't wasted on a "liberal" education.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
