Stories I Recall

May years ago I was young, single, carefree and vacationing in some Caribbean resort. My week was up so three hundred fellow travellers were milling about the airport waiting for our flight back to the Greatest City in the World.

A short delay became a longer delay, but finally an earnest young airline representative got on the PA system. His message, roughly, was that he had bad news and good news. Our three hundred seat plane was out of service due to mechanical difficulties but fortunately, the airline had rustled up a two hundred and fifty seat replacement. So, if our milling crowd would simply form an orderly queue, the first two hundred fifty people in line would get home on time. For the rest, well, good luck, enjoy your extended stay, and quit taking your job so seriously.

I imagine the young speaker may have been raised in England, where orderly queues seem to be in the DNA. But in the rest of the world, and particularly when dealing with people in a New York state of mind, the result was inevitable. Fortunately, after the brawling, roaring and rugby scrum subsided the airline found a bigger plane and all was well.

All these years later I only recall this incident because I am convinced the young airline representative is now an advisor to Angela Merkel, who was quite public about her willingness to extend a warm German welcome to 800,000 of the many millions of Syrian, Afghan, Sudanese and Chadian refugees.

who was quite public about her willingness to extend a warm German welcome to 800,000 . . .

Am I the only one who immediately thought of: "a laurel, and hearty handshake"?

And is there any qualitative difference between the logical disconnect here and the one behind an executive order to stop deporting illegal aliens?

[Extraneus]

After the first 800,000, she also said that Germany could take 500,000 per year indefinitely.

posting this here

Ex-

have been reading your links and found that the UN has been cutting rations (either direct food aid or EBT type cards) in the camps they control. Started last December

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-2857525/Nightmare-Syrian-refugees-UN-cuts-food-aid.html

this article is from last year. they are getting restless on less than 2100 calories a day (iirc General Clay was attacked by the State Department when he increased the food rations in Berlin from 800 to 1100 calories a day). Seem pretty obvious that the life vests could be traded for food stuffs, and more easily, if food aid is being distributed using an EBT type program.

as to suspects I'd believe that the Russians with a helpful assist from the OIC. One it ties up Europe especially if Russia is interested in solidifying their gains and for the OIC it drains the swamp of a large number of young men that make the Gulf monarchies nervous(which also helps Russia if they are going to make a more aggressive push in Syria).

Carson -- I doubt I could name one of his positions, and his presence has diligently not invaded my media space.

So, why all the poll energy all of a sudden?

[Rick Ballard]

Rich,

You have to read Jack Lew's letter rattling the begging bowl over the OPM Famine to understand why rations were cut. Draghi could write a very simliar letter as could Xi, if they actually had debt ceilings constraining borrowing.

Uncle Sugar provides 40% of the UN refugee money and Lew has already sucked all the "provisional" budget stashes as dry as the Sahara. He can try and reload in two weeks with the start of the new fiscal year but the spending authorization fights will provide some constraints.

Deb, the largest population of Somali immigrants outside of Minnesota is in Lewiston,Maine. There are about 7,000 Somalis in the city. The Lewiston police chief has started a recruitment program in the Somali community,because the police believe they need "a department that reflects the demographics of the community."
In 2013, a 12 year Somali boy was responsible for a string of arson fires in Lewiston. The local media tiptoed around that case. In fact,there are seldom stories in the media about the community. The only stories we get are about how LePage is a big meanie because he wants to limit general assistance to asylum seekers. Portland also has a large immigrant community and the mayor of Portland and LePage have been in a big feud about the issue.

Carson -- I doubt I could name one of his positions, and his presence has diligently not invaded my media space.

So, why all the poll energy all of a sudden?

Suddenly another voice spoke, low and melodious, its very sound an enchantment. Those who listened unwarily to that voice could seldom report the words that they had heard; and if they did, they wondered, for little power remained in them. Mostly they remembered only that it was a delight to hear the voice speaking, all that it said seemed wise and reasonable, and desire awoke in them by swift agreement to seem wise themselves. When others spoke, they seemed harsh and uncouth by contrast . . .

A link to the new PP video again. This is video #10.
http://hotair.com/archives/2015/09/15/new-cmp-video-abortion-industry-exec-admits-clinics-make-a-fair-amount-of-income-from-organ-harvesting/

"Vanessa Cullins, their VP for external medical affairs, warns the undercover “buyers” to be careful about discussing organ sales, lest it “destroy” everyone involved:

-- Vanessa Cullins, the Vice President of External Medical Affairs, seems fully aware of the criminal exposure that fetal body parts sales present to Planned Parenthood: “This is important. This could destroy your organization and us, if we don’t time those conversations correctly,” she tells a prospective buyer.--

If this was all above board, why would it “destroy” anyone? This sounds more like the discussions one would have in a criminal conspiracy rather than a legitimate reimbursement-for-costs relationship. It’s also worth noting that Deb VanderHei’s primary concern in her meeting with the “buyer” is “remuneration” — in other words, payment."

Also near the end of the video the PP lady says...they provide "donation for remuneration".
I wonder how often that happens?

OL

Your mention of the Titanic reminded me of a story that I should share.

We have a home in our neighborhood that dates to the early 1800s. Was built by an early settler to Ohio that was awarded a land grant after the Revolutionary War.

The home is still occupied by descendants of the original settler.

The family had a party last summer and Mrs. Buckeye and I were invited. She was excited because she is crazy about antiques and figured there would be many interesting pieces in the home.

In the foyer was the largest ship captain's chest either of us had ever seen.

Mrs Kennedy, who was throwing the party told us the history. She emigrated to the US with her parents as a teenager from Holland. Turns out that the chest was owned by her great-grandfather who was not just an ordinary ship's captain, but was the CEO of Holland America.

He had the distinct "honor" of being invited as a guest by Edward Smith, the captain of the RMS Titanic on it's maiden voyage.

Needless to say, that chest did not make the voyage.

[Appalled]

Ouch! That's harsh.

I just checked the attendance at the Texas Rangers home game last evening. 27,772. Not bad, except Cole Hamels was on the mound and the game was against Houston who happened to be 1.5 ahead of the Rangers and in first place. I am happy to report that the Rangers took care of business and are now 1/2 game out of first place.

But notice that a team in a pennant race with season ticket holders on a beautiful night, barely outdrew Trump who had a full AA Arena. There is something going here, and I dont think the media have fully diagnosed it as yet...

I agree. When I heard my sisters supporting him, I knew there was something going on.

They are not understanding how disgusted and upset people are outside the Beltway and the New York studios.

Ouch! That's harsh.

Tongue-in-cheek, of course. And that analogy would leave Trump as Gandalf, which I couldn't defend. I strongly suspect the truth is nearly the polar opposite: after listening to politically correct pablum vs loud unserious/irritatingly boisterous candidates, a man whose quiet convictions and genuine integrity are obvious is appealing. I maintain he's not well suited to be president, but I get the appeal.

Adam Garfinkle reports on Germany and Poland: "Insane Asylum"

... I will only note that many Germans seem to think that the Levantine Arabs now entering their country by the hundreds of thousands will act like their Gastarbeiter Turks. They are in for a shock. Many also think that they’re getting the cream of the educated crop from Syria. I heard several observers note that the people coming are young men, coming not directly from Syria but from camps in Jordan and Turkey. They are presumed to be engineers, doctors, and the like, and given Germany’s age-cohort imbalanced demographic picture, the consensus among the saintly is that they will boost the German economy in the not-too-distant future. This means that they know not the first thing about the real status of education in the Arab world. Only a tiny percentage of these asylum seekers are well enough educated to hold down a middle-class enabling professional job in an economy like Germany’s. (The American Interest)

Jack,

I know WE knew, but (using my daughter as a guide for the general public) most of the general public does not, having seen those sweet propaganda pictures Extraneus has highlighted.

I got into a fierce argument with her about this, because she started in with how we have to HELP those poor children, and she refused to believe that the numbers were as I said. When I told her that the father of the drowned boy had been the captain of the boat she just refused to talk about it (usual response when I am right and she is wrong).

So I am glad to see this get out into the general public, bit by bit.

The government has no business bringing 100,000 Syrians into this country.

GOP lawmakers crafted several bills meant to punish so-called “sanctuary cities” that decline to cooperate with federal immigration officials trying to track down undocumented immigrants such as Lopez Sanchez. But in the Senate, an intraparty rift had opened up over the issue of mandatory minimums, with Republicans on the committee colliding over a proposal that would enact a mandatory minimum prison sentence of five years for immigrants who try to re-enter the country illegally after being deported.
