Fink: If you didn’t do what we advocated and spent big money supporting, you’re going to be in good shape.

It means a Muslim got elected mayor of the town he lives in and for the first time in his miserable life, it dawned on him that mass immigration might result in his own personal safety and wealth being threatened.

"countries that avoided mass immigration will be better positioned for the future."

How's that for stating the obvious.

I think the morons are still spounting out mindless platitudes like "Diversity is our strength!" and "Anybody who wants to come to this country to improve theirself (sic) should be allowed to do so": just so much background noise.

RE:I’m headed for Pitcairn Island. Wish me luck.

In the tribute to Lawrence Ferlinghetti he said “If someone wanted to escape now like Gaugin to an island, the one where Gaugin lived now has a Club Med. And the several islands beyond them have resorts and luxury tourist rentals now.”
