Frankly, I’d much rather be in France than in England or Germany right now. Just left Paris a couple of days ago and am now enjoying the south of France. While I wouldn’t care to be in Iraq or Iran right now, I am not going to live my life in FEAR of what MIGHT happen. Take a moment to think about the number of people killed in Auto accidents at home every year, or those killed or maimed because of some other type of accident. People are too fearful of their safety anymore. I like to remember I came from “frontier stock.”

We shall see.

It depends on how much the "terrorism industry" wants Hillary elected.

Possibilities:

1) Imminent earthquake
2) Shortage of cheese
3) Rust
4) Hitler has invaded again
5) Muslims


And even if it turns out to be muslims, it has nothing to do with islam.

The good news is most places on both countries are safe. The bad news is some aren’t and you can’t tell them from the safe ones.


I would suggest all law abiding citizens, immigrants(legal or otherwise) and any international visitors to our Country, stay at least 2 blocks away on either side of Martin Luther King Jr Blvd.

You’re welcome.

I am not worried about being “safe.” I am well traveled and always alert, but I don’t spend my time dwelling on safety. Why would I be “safer” 25 feet from you than I am right now here in France?

Eiffel Tower evacuated with armed police and soldiers surrounded landmark
The Eiffel Tower is on lockdown after being evacuated tonight - as armed police and soldiers search tourists in central Paris.

Reports say the whole areas around the popular tourist attraction has been cordoned off.

The reason for the evacuation is not immediately clear.

Eyewitnesses described a large police presence at the scene.

Others indicated the military had been deployed “all over” the place.

Police are allowing people into the ground floor restaurant - but nobody else is allowed to venture any further - according to one report

I have never seen one that doesn’t fit what you say. It would be interesting to know if there is one.

Well it seems BLM has shut down Heathrow Airport. I’ll take my chances with the French.
