Two more reasons–among many–why the U.S. shouldn’t imitate France
30 Dec 2012 6:28 am Craig Newmark

“The French Really Are Les Misérables“.
In France, 48% of the people considered themselves either living in poverty or on the way to living in poverty.
“In Paris, Effortless Chic Lives On“. “Chic”?! Nah.

Outrage: Miss France Is French!
18 Dec 2012 10:45 am Dave Blount

What racial/ethnic background would you expect to see represented by Miss France? Before you expose your racism by answering French like the newly crowned Marine Lorphelin, be informed that the correct answer is black or Arab:
The Representative Council of Black Associations (CRAN) denounced medical student Marine Lorphelin, 19, for being ‘as white as snow’ and criticised the lack of black and Arab contestants. …
CRAN president Louis-Georges Tin said in a statement jointly issued by Miss Black France creator, Fred Royer: ‘The failure to represent the contemporary French population in an …

Adieu France, So Long Stability
19 Jun 2012 5:06 pm Michael Fell

French Socialist President Francois Hollande’s newly elected government is planning to raise taxes on big companies while deterring businesses from engaging in layoffs by making that process more costly.
Hoping to nudge companies into investing rather than paying profits to shareholders, the government plans to impose a new 3% tax on dividends. Other plans include raising levies on capital gains, a special tax on banks and on energy companies, as well as imposition of government policies requiring the sale of profitable businesses in lieu of closure.
France’s Socialist government will dictate that …

Fundraise and Fore! obama’s Answer to World Events
19 Jun 2012 6:23 am Michael Fell

Israel issued warnings over security problems with Egypt. Militants from the Sinai Peninsula crossed over into southern Israel Monday and fired on a border security fence, killing one Israeli. The IDF moved tanks and otherarmed forces to the Israel-Egypt border in response to the attack. Egypt is on the offensive against Israel.
Egypt’s presidential election results lean towards victory for Mohammed Morsi, the radical Islamist Muslim Brotherhood candidate. Thanks at least in part to vocal White House support for the “Arab Spring”, which ushered the Muslim Brotherhood to Egypt’s presidency, Egypt …

Choose Your Stimulus
17 May 2012 6:50 pm Michael Fell

The Spanish Economic Ministry denied there’s been a surge in withdrawals from the nation’s banks, while Spain’s Prime Minister warned that borrowing costs could reach “astronomical” proportions over fears about the weakness of Spain’s financial institutions.
Greeks have been taking their savings out of banks, with nearly a third taken out during this year’s first quarter. Since May 7th, at least 700m euros have been withdrawn from Greek banks. Uncertainty over Greece’s exit from the eurozone is stirring global fears about Europe’s monetary future.
France’s new socialist government will not ratify the …

Why Every American Should Care About the French Presidential Race
16 Oct 2011 3:34 am Rachel Marsden

Being a geopolitical analyst and forecaster often means having to explain to people sitting in America how and why a single event in Africa, Russia or China will directly impact them either personally or professionally. One such event is the French presidential election set for May 2012, for which the opposition Socialists are selecting their candidate today in a final round of open primary voting.
For most people, the knee-jerk reaction to an event on the other side of the world is, “Why should I give a toss what happens …

Gaza “Flotilla of Fools” is Stymied by World Disapproval But Refuses to Quit
5 Jul 2011 5:00 pm Jane Jamison

Cross-posted at UNCOVERAGE
The American and European leisure-class ‘useful idiots’ of Hamas have failed in their 2011 “mission” to discredit Israel with a flotilla run against the Gaza blockade. They are desperate to recapture some purpose for their hypocritical protest and look all the more foolish for trying. It’s so ridiculous, even the New York Times has turned on them.

DSK “Rape” Scandal: Everyone is a Whore, Case Closed
2 Jul 2011 4:00 pm Jane Jamison

Cross-posted at UNCOVERAGE.net
My story yesterday about “following the buck” in the Dominique Strauss-Kahn rape case still stands….and now we have more clues about everyone’s motivation. The conclusion is: Just about everyone involved in this DSK scandal, from beginning to end, is an amoral piece of crap.

French News Sites Describe Breast Size of Strauss-Kahn’s Rape Accuser
18 May 2011 12:38 am Jenn Q. Public

The size of her breasts, the shape of her backside, and of course, her name. These are some of the details Le Monde, the French “journal de référence,” and its subsidiary Le Post published about the woman who says IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn groped her genitals and forced her to perform oral sex on him in a room at the Sofitel near Times Square.
France-Soir described the cut of her hotel maid uniform and how good she looks for a woman in …

British Police Afraid of Local Kids, Soon to Come to the USA?
2 Feb 2011 1:14 pm Warner Todd Huston

A British police chief has prohibited his own officers from patrolling a local park after dark because he and his fellows are afraid of the punks and trouble makers that infest the place at night. Thanks to a self-destructive and blind obeisance to PCism Britain has truly become an asylum run by the inmates. But this disease of PCism is one that left-wingers in America dearly want to emulate. Will the USA soon find police afraid of their own shadows, too?
Police Inspector Andy Sullivan told a meeting of the Wisbech, …

Anti-Islamic Immigration Movement Gains in Switzerland, France, Italy
22 Nov 2010 4:56 pm Jane Jamison

Europe continues to clamp down on creeping sharia pressures from Muslim immigrants, with even “neutral” Switzerland making moves to deport them. Switzerland is the latest country to undertake new legislation and there is a racy ad campaign for the cause.

Anti-immigration campaign poster shows photos of hot young women at a nude beach, juxtaposed with old Muslim women in scarves swimming in dirty water and smoking, begging the question–whom do you prefer to ban in Switzerland?

UK Telegraph:
A Right-wing political party in Switzerland has produced a provocative anti-immigration campaign in which a …

Dressing Like A WWII German Soldier on Weekends Proves How Rich We Are
20 Oct 2010 11:00 am Warner Todd Huston

First of all, despite all the chest puffing by sports-freaks and rock-music geeks who want to say that Civil War and WWII reenactors are “weird,” the very fact that there are such things as reenactors at all — not to mention sports nuts or music fanatics — is proof that westerners are well off, rich if you will. The existence of Civil War and WWII reenactors is great evidence that the United States is a success.
But first, let’s face the facts. Civil War and WWII reenactors are not any stranger …

Coming to YOUR Nation: Muslims Forcibly Take Over French Street for Prayers
14 Sep 2010 11:44 am Warner Todd Huston

One of the more insidious ways that Muslims try to impose their sharia laws on western nations is to use the west’s liberal laws against them by warping that law to install sharia by stealth. Such is the case in a section of France where Muslims, sometimes appearing in the hundreds, choke a French street to perform their daily prayers. They have no permits, they have not asked for legal permission, they simply congregate by the hundreds and do it, breaking the law as they do so.
Sadly, the French government …

The Intellectuals What Ain’t
9 Feb 2010 2:29 pm Warner Todd Huston

There is no better example of how low intellectuals have fallen than the case of Bernard-Henri Lévy, intellectual, provocateur, member of the well-regarded French nouveaux philosophes and, it seems, all around gullible fool.
Bernard-Henri Lévy, better known to those in the know as BHL, has become a laughing stock of modern inteleckshoouls everywhere with the publication of his much anticipated book on philosopher Immanuel Kant.
Oh, there’s sharp criticism in Lévy’s new Kantallope, there’s bomb thrown name calling, and nose-up-turning galore. Kant, according to Lévy, is a “raving lunatic” and a …

Homeschooling German Family Awarded Political Asylum in U.S., Where is U.S. Media?
28 Jan 2010 1:35 pm Warner Todd Huston

A federal immigration judge in Tennessee has awarded political asylum to a German couple who were threatened by the German government with having their children forcibly removed from their home because the couple chose homeschooling instead of sending them to state approved schools.
Uwe Romeike may now stay as a legal resident in Morrisstown, Tennessee, where the family moved in 2008 after being threatened by German authorities.
The Associated Press was one of the few Old Media outlets covering this story. Of the Romeike’s plight, the AP reported:

The Romeikes took their three …
