France’s Hollande says his final mission is to ensure that “populism, nationalism and extremism cannot win”
Not, say, fighting against jihad terror that has made Paris tense and ugly. Hollande is essentially saying that he is going to do everything he can to ensure that France doesn’t defend itself against the advancing jihad, or cut off the refugee flow by means of which jihadis are entering France. He will make sure […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: “A President Should Not Say That”
Now that Francois Hollande has taken himself out of the running for President of France, knowing that he was certain to lose, it is time to consider his continuing education, and mixed signals, on the subject of Islam.

Video: White House censors French President saying “Islamist terrorism”
The Obama Administration is adopting the practices of Orwell’s Ministry of Truth. Inconvenient facts are consigned to the memory hole. We have always been at war with Eurasia. Islam is a religion of peace. No one would even dare suggest otherwise, even indirectly. What? The French President referred to “Islamist terrorism”? No, he didn’t. Not […]
France drops plan to strip jihadis of their passports
