Just heard today the queen is to visit our World War II memorial. I think every leader from France, England, Belgium, Norway, Denmark, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and the list goes on, should also visit it every time they enter this country. The greatest leader in England’s history spent a great amount of time in the U.S., and his mother was American. Do you suppose that this fact may have had some benefit for his ability to inspire his countrymen during their greatest peril? The sacrificing the Americans did to rebuild Japan and Germany after World War II apparently left no deposit of gratitude. France finally is getting a leader who has, at least, said he was a friend to America. That’s a switch!

The United States came to their aid during two instances where they were defeated and dominated by Germany. During this time, a lot of their citizens welcomed the Germans and cooperated with them. They were called Vichy French. During this occupation of France by Germany, they also had many heroes in the French underground. What happened to their example by current day French citizens? Shortly after World War II, I was in many of the countries in Europe. France had a very small amount of destruction and ruins compared to Italy, England, Cicily, Greece, Belgium, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Norway, Denmark, and others. Spain had none - Ireland had none - guess why?

Now we have reports of thousands of Mexican children crossing into the United States to attend our schools. Reports say it costs Texas $1 billion yearly. That cost is shared by all U.S. taxpayers. Think of how many border states this is happening in. If you consider all these costs, add illegal immigrant children in all states. The costs would be in the billions. Health care for illegal immigrants has more spent on it than the entire cost of what is spent on the middle class in America. Take into consideration the crime statistics as concerns illegal immigrants, such as: murders, DUIs, hit and runs, theft, burglaries, cost of finding and prosecuting, and housing after they are convicted, and I would hazzard to say the U.S. spends at least $20 billion every year. I think we should be able to recover these costs from Mexico.

Our immigration department is pathetic and subject to failures throughout the United States. They badly need an internal investigation, and they, like the State Department and other government agencies (especially the IRS), need to clear the deadwood from their agencies that have been around for years, with no clear way to justify their positions. No business or corporation would be successful if they practiced the same kind of incompetence. An example of deadwood is the World Bank. Paul Wolfowitz went there as head of it. He had hopes for the poor peoples of the world to be able to benefit from re-organization, where the proceeds would not go to the government big wigs for their pockets and Swiss bank accounts. You can see what has happened - a concerted effort is being made to see that he is removed and replaced so that they may continue their graft and corruption. Who gives funds to the World Bank? I think, possibly, it’s not only the U.N. we should get out of - I would say, also, the World Bank.

Just heard something that will make Democrats unhappy. CBS News has lowest ratings since 1987. Guess Wonder Woman couldn’t throw the news for a loop.
