Lazy Days and Mondays

Happy Bastille Day

Vive La France! 

Well a busy week just got easier. 

We canceled our boat and so we have nothing on the agenda for today. That means a relaxing day. Tomorrow is already jam packed with meetings and activities throughout the day. 

Bastille Day is my second favorite foreign holiday. I think I will be looking for something French. A good French wine comes to mind. And I have a few! I just realized that the French are in involved in both of my favorite foreign holidays: Bastille Day and Cinco de Mayo. One is a jail-break to start a revolution and the other is an embarrassing defeat.

Turning to the U.S., however, the news is not so great and there is definitely no reason to celebrate. 

ICE continues out of control and we can thank the Republicans for that. If no one is above the law, then why do ICE killings continue without apparent consequences. 

Monday was definitely not a lazy day. There was an ICE killing in Maine--

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin initially told Senator Angus King that Guerrero was the target of the warrant. Hours later, Mullin called King back to correct himself. The victim was not the target. They killed the wrong person. ICE is a rogue agency. The president’s own military force, and people are dying. (Hope for America)

My thought here is, why are agents shooting the driver and not the car? Kill the car; it will stop and the driver can then be detained, questioned, and/or arrested--alive. 

Inquiring minds want to know!
