1ºAt least since I became a voter in 1984, "this crowd" has steadily gone lower and lower. We have to stop acting shocked that they've gone even lower still. There is not bottom for them.
When Reagan left office, I thought, "Whew! There goes the worst president of my lifetime."
Then we got W.
Then we got BLOAT.
There is ALWAYS a new for them to embrace.
And while we've always had Members of Congress like Jesse Helms, they used to be the fringe. Now they run the show, and are determined to keep it that way.
They treat us as "the enemy," we need to do they same. Take the gloves of and save the Republic.
2ºThis is another low for the radical wing of the Donald Trump Republican Party .They are the extreme of the extreme .
These 21 politicians have made it clear that they are not interested in democracy, the rule of law or the US constitution.
They have also shown their hypocrisy regarding the police who they profess to stand shoulder to shoulder with . The message seems to be that the police are only great if they uphold and defend a right wing ethos .
The police who bravely attempted to stop this neo fascist putsch do not fit the far right’s profile of heroism.

4ºI'm Chen yilíing. "Unauthorized" camps, where thousands of immigrants live in northeastern Paris, have been repeatedly dismantled. The government has forcibly removed migrant camps 66 times in the last five years, but migrants with nowhere to go will soon return. Refugee support groups have criticized poor living conditions and poor acceptance, but the Emmanuel Macron administration, which is conscious of public opinion, has begun to take a strict stance on immigrants. "(I) couldn't eat anything yesterday. (I) didn't have a support group." Ismail, 31, from Eritrea, eastern Africa, who arrived in France two and a half years ago, said painfully. He is said to be waiting for the refugee application to be accepted on the sidewalk in the 19th arrondissement of northeastern Paris, with a "location" above the exhaust vent where warm wind blows from the basement. His money is zero. He has diabetes, so an injection of insulin from his support group is essential. The man next to him came from the same African Somalia nine years ago, suggesting that there are people of various nationalities. Immigrants gather along parks and canals about two kilometers northeast of Paris's main train station, North Station. Many of them are 25-35 year old men from Afghanistan, Eritrea, Somalia, etc., and rely on tents, clothing, food and medicines supported by private organizations to build camps. It seems that many of them aim for other countries by using France as a stopover. Their hygiene is extremely poor, and there are concerns about the spread of the new coronavirus. These places are a hidden side of Paris, far from the glamorous image of museums and fine dining. Immigrant camps have been tolerated for a period of time, after which the administration has been dismantled. In November, the Paris Police Department and others removed the tents of immigrants all at once and guided about 3,000 people to accommodation facilities by bus. Authorities seem to say that it is more humane to move migrants to a place where they can get help than to stay in a camp. However, a person in charge of Cimade, an organization that supports refugee applications, testifies that "about 500 migrants were not able to get on the bus and were left on the street." Some people got on the bus but were just dropped off a few hundred meters away. Police currently have a policy of not allowing migrants to revive their camps, and a large number of migrants have moved to Place de la République in central Paris, but they were immediately ordered to evict. A person in charge of "Solidarity with Immigrants Wilson", a support group involved in food distribution to immigrants, said, "The authorities are responding that the current situation as an immigrant camp should not be seen by the public. I'm losing my forgiveness. " "(You guys) don't stay here. (You guys) go somewhere." When I was listening to Mr. Ismail and others, four police officers who suddenly got off the wagon of the police car approached. There is no explanation from the police about support for immigrants, and it is a one-sided claim to evict immigrants. They had no choice but to move to another place. "(Police) move (we) by spraying tears or coming in at 3 am and kicking us off, but where should we go," said Ismail. In France, the leader of the far-right National Rally, Marine Le Pen, who advocates anti-immigrants, will continue to gain momentum, and the next presidential election in 2022 may face President Emmanuel Macron. Public opinion skeptical of immigrants appears to support LePen's support, and according to a September 2019 survey by the French newspaper Le Monde, 63% of French citizens said they were "domestic." There are too many foreigners in France. " Macron's remarks about immigration have also changed in response to public opinion. In 2015, when he was the former Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Digital under François Hollande, he said, "Refugees are well-educated people. Their acceptance is an opportunity for France." But in 2019, he said, "when we take a humanitarian position, regulations (for immigrants) can be too loose." In November 2019, he announced that he would set numerical targets for the number of immigrants accepted and limit the use of health insurance schemes by asylum-seekers. He has also not responded noticeably to the dismantling of the immigrant camp in northern Paris, effectively tolerating it. On the other hand, the view that the influx of immigrants to France is endless is false. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the number of migrants and refugees who entered Europe through the Mediterranean was about 90,000 from January to early December 2020. The number has continued to decline after peaking at 1.03 million in 2015, when a large number of Syrian refugees arrived, and cooperation with Turkey and North African countries has had some effect. The immigration threat theory advocated by the far-right forces is probably exaggerated. Macron's move to immigration seems to be an appeal to voters who are conscious of re-election in the 2022 presidential election. However, if they are too conscious of the public opinion of immigrant skeptics, the policy will be in jeopardy. (Nihonkeizai newspaper, Paris = Shiraishi Touga)
