Europe's open borders, welfare largess has it facing disaster: Will it shift course?

Mass protests are now common in Britain against the Labour Party’s open borders policies and generous welfare entitlements for immigrants who arrive illegally and without authentic “political refugee” status. - Victor Davis Hanson
Until recently, European politicians and the media sought to either ignore such news or accuse those who clamored for tighter borders, more police protection and stiffer penalties of being “racists” or “xenophobes.”
Until recently, that is...
  • Too many immigrants are arriving too quickly, without sufficient diversity, language fluency, skills or familiarity with the customs and culture of their host nations...
  • Yet there is no European plan of civic education to assimilate immigrants and teach them the rules, laws and culture of their hosts.
  • It is then no surprise that what follows is ghettoization, resentment and loud attacks on the very nation in which they seek sanctuary, denouncing it as decadent and godless...

'That is an outright lie!' Chicago pastor rips into Democrats over crime | Blaze Media

Brooks, who runs a violence-prevention organization called Project H.O.O.D., said the current level of crime completely justifies the federal surge of troops. He pointed to the fact that there have been 254 deaths since the beginning of the year and that 80% of those victims were black males. "For anyone in our community to say that things are getting better and that people are safe, that is an outright lie!" the pastor said.

The Democrat Party summed up nicely!

NIH schemes to keep risky gain-of-function research alive despite Trump crackdown * WorldNetDaily * by Emily Kopp, Daily Caller News Foundation

NIH schemes to keep risky gain-of-function research alive despite Trump crackdown * WorldNetDaily * by Emily Kopp, Daily Caller News Foundation

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) plans to continue creating novel pandemic viruses in apparent defiance of an executive order signed by President Donald Trump calling for a crackdown on the research, according to three government sources involved with the process, who were granted anonymity to avoid government reprisals.

Biosafety hawks have been duking it out with officials at the NIH, the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security as an interagency group finalizes Trump's policy on dangerous gain-of-function (GOF) research — which makes viruses more deadly in the lab. Per the executive order, the policy on federal GOF research is due Sept. 2. Three intelligence agencies have concluded that a lab accident sparked COVID-19.
