Good Labor Day morning, I’m still reporting on the invasion of Europe.

Guards in civilian clothes will be patrolling France’s trains from October, as a new law comes into effect following a foiled terror attack last year. The move has been planned since August last year when train passengers overpowered a man who had opened fire with a Kalashnikov on a train between Amsterdam and Paris. […] Introduction of the changes took so long due to the complicated process of rewriting French law, but also the time needed to train and equip the guards. The guards will be on patrol in pairs on regional trains, TGVs, and even on commuter lines. …

After announcing her ambitions to join the presidential race earlier this year, Le Pen used the UK’s June decision to leave the European Union to her advantage, promising to hold a similar ‘Frexit’ referendum if elected. “The British had the courage to choose independence despite all the prophets of doom,” she said. “This referendum on France belonging to the European Union, I will do it. Yes it is possible to change things. Look at the Brits, they chose their destiny, they chose independence,” Le Pen said. “We can again be a free, proud and independent people.” Quoting: [link to www.rt.com...

As a group of Catholics was peacefully praying in protest of the closure of a local church, a Muslim man walked up and began blaring his music to disrupt the prayer. After one man stood up from praying the rosary, the Muslim thug instantly realized that not all Christians are intimidated by Islamic bullying tactics. In Sharia countries, religious minorities are denied basic rights and often fear for their lives if they do not adhere to Islamic laws and customs. In the West, the Muslim minority still intimidates and persecutes the benevolent Christian majority that’s fought to protect the laws...

The accords were part of a bilateral deal to close a former migrants’ centre at Sangatte, near Calais.
