The Guardian’s interview with Tony Blair published today inadvertently offers two major insights. The first, smaller one is that, as this interview shows yet again, the Guardian and the liberal-left media in general remain in awe of the former British prime minister, despite his being an undoubted war criminal of the highest order as well as representing everything dysfunctional about the British […]

I've never seen anything like the smear campaign against a Democrat like the one Chuck Schumer is orchestrating against Alan Grayson. Corrupt creatures of Wall Street, Schumer and Reid are hysterical that they're failing to get traction in Florida with their efforts to get their ultra-conservative, "ex"-Republican twerp-candidate, Patrick Murphy, into the Senate.

Le Cercle des Volontaires a souhaité rencontrer Salah Lamrani, professeur de français au collège Romain Rolland à Tremblay-en-France, suspendu de ses fonctions le 11 février 2016 car il tient un blog (sayed7asan.blogspot.fr), aux idées politiques qui semblent déplaire (à la direction du collège ? au rectorat ? ou plus haut encore ?).
Le pire ministre des Affaires étrangères jamais offert à la France a déguerpi. Il laisse derrière lui une diplomatie ruinée, décrédibilisée et démoralisée : seraient-ils les meilleurs de la planète, nos diplomates ne peuvent faire de miracles lorsqu’ils sont amenés à ne défendre que des dossiers indéfendables, qui les placent systématiquement du mauvais côté de l’Histoire. C’est là que le bât blesse.
