Sandbox – 26dec15

26 December 2015

[Well, we're heading for the end of 2015 and it's time to refresh the sandbox one last time before we ring in the new year. I hope all RR readers had the merriest Christmas and are girding their loins for a very exciting 2016 that I'm sure we'll dissect ten ways from Sunday. I very much appreciate all of your enthusiastic participation and exchanges during the past 12 months, and have a feeling we ain't seen nothin' yet ;-) gjr]

Looking back over 2015 and peering into 2016, there were and are major events that happened that should give 2016 plenty to talk about.
Domestically, 2015 had with the illegal alien issue rising up again early in the year and ended with San Brudo with plain ole immigration. The economy bounced along the bottom and no earth shaking news. Guess after 7 years, we have grown accustomed to “the new normal”. Oh yeah, Michael Brown and the aftermath really grabbed the public’s attention ending with demands for ethnically correct menus on college campuses. And let’s not forget The Donald, and the Trump Effect, and the new phrase “getting Trumped”.
In foreign affairs, Syria, ISIS, Putin’s cunningly and perfectly playing a great poker hand. Iran making nukes. Middle East and North Africa on fire with the rise of Islamic Fascism. Of all these issues, I will choose one to start this Sandbox with what I see as a possible game changer: the influx of Islamics and war refugees into Western Europe and how that might alter the EU as we know it.

Ah, timing is good this morning. Keep in mind that it takes decades for changes to occur. I remain neural of the topic and don’t see the EU falling apart in 2016. But, maybe a movement towards nationalism, the antithesis of what the EU stands for. Perhaps more taking the EU lefties to the woodshed in 2016. All caused by Islamics. Go figure. Hindus are good, Islamics bad for the Trading bloc.

I am currently reading Reflections on the Revolution In Europe: Immigration, Islam, and the West, by
Christopher Caldwell My friend Fred Buhler recommended it, and he is waiting for me to catch up so we can discuss it. I just finished Chapter 1 The Immigration. Here is the Amazon summary:
This provocative and unflinching analysis of Europe’s unexpected influx of immigrants investigates the increasingly prominent Muslim populations actively shaping the future of the continent. Muslims dominate or nearly dominate many important European cities, including Amsterdam and Rotterdam, Strasbourg and Marseille, the Paris suburbs and East London, and in those cities Islam has challenged the European way of life at every turn, becoming, in effect, an “adversary culture.” In Reflections on the Revolution in Europe, Caldwell examines the anger of natives and newcomers alike. He exposes the strange ways in which welfare states interact with Third World customs, the anti-Americanism that brings European natives and Muslim newcomers together, and the arguments over women and sex that drive them apart. He considers the appeal of sharia, “resistance,” and jihad to a second generation that is more alienated from Europe than the first, and addresses a crisis of faith among native Europeans that leaves them with a weak hand as they confront the claims of newcomers.
The EU is in for some immigration hard times in 2016, as more Muslims push their way into Europe.

One final note. I spent Christmas late afternoon with my dog, my neice’s Doxie, my sister’s St. Bernard mix, and a few humanoid relatives. My sister, the old dyed in the wool Feminist for life banned any talk of politics and the mere mention of Rush Limbaugh in her house…for years. But, she does listen to Tom Sullivan on occasion. Hmmm. Having learned the humbling experience of raising kids has seasoned my dear sister(s),
Anyway, somehow we got on the topic of the university I went to for a year cost me $1,800/year back in the day and it costs 45k a year today! Yes, those were the days you could work part time and pay for the tuition and live off a big bag of dry Puffed Rice. Things has changed.
Not being one for self control, I told her there “is a college in Ohio called Obermen ? College that the black students were demanding fried chicken every weekend at the mess hall. She laughed and laughed and laughed.
She, with her face aglow, told me back in the burn your bra days (she was fired as a teacher in public schools for refusing to wear a bra back in the day)…in those days no one would ever say watermelon and fried chicken because it was unspoken code words for black people and a no-no to even say fried chicken. She was still laughing because if you said “fried chicken” you would be labeled a racist back then and now if you don’t say “fried chicken” you are racists. Oh, things have changed, but the silliness of PC remains. Have a good Juan.

Will His Purpleness try to spin this as an economic positive for California, like he did the Tesla Battery Plant?
After losing out to Nevada last year in the competition for Tesla’s battery plant, California has missed a similar opportunity. Faraday Future, the semi-mysterious rival to Elon Musk’s car company, secured the backing of the Nevada Legislature for a multimillion dollar factory deal — despite having selected California for its current headquarters.
“The state Assembly voted overwhelmingly in favor of the deal Saturday, after a four-day special session in Carson City,” the Associated Press reported. “Lawmakers learned last week that Chinese billionaire Jia Yueting was backing the secretive California-based company, which employs some former Tesla Motors executives, and that Faraday plans to bring 4,500 direct jobs to Nevada.”
