1. France’s Le Pen Says Torture Can Be ‘Useful’ to Fight Terrorism

The leader of France’s anti-immigrant, anti-European Union National Front, Marine Le Pen, said that torture can be sometimes “useful” to fight terrorism, in response the U.S. Senate report on the CIA.

“There can be cases -- when there is a bomb ticking, that can explode in an hour or two and kill 200 or 300 civilians -- where it can be useful to have to make someone talk with the means available,” Le Pen told RMC radio and BFM Television today.

2. Marine Le Pen: Muslims in France 'like Nazi occupation'

Marine Le Pen, the leader of the French far-Right, drew heavy criticism after she said Muslims praying outside were like Nazi occupiers.

3. The Attack on Charlie Hebdo Plays Right Into Marine Le Pen's Hands

An additional dimension to this tragedy (attack on Charlie Hebdo) is that it plays directly into the hands of those public figures and politicians who would like to see France regress into an organic national community of blood ties, rather than of citizens. The Islamic extremists who executed the attack on Charlie Hebdo may have murdered journalists and artists, but surely their crime is also against other Muslims in France, who are now likely to be viewed as enemy aliens hostile to the essence of the Republic itself, regardless of their own beliefs. Michel Houellebecq, for instance, who often paints Muslims as a dangerous fifth column, might now perhaps be vindicated in the eyes of unreflective readers; and, in the words of one Lebanese blogger, today might very well be the day that Marine Le Pen became President of France. Le Pen, by the way, has compared the Muslim presence in France to the German occupation of the 1940s. After today, we can only hope that others will not start doing the same.

Sanders is on now.

His approach to the Trump situation is very interesting. He talked about the blame game when people are down and out without jobs or a decent living wage, etc.

Very good stuff.

Does she not favor government control by the big Business and Billionaire Oligarchy? She says she would tell them to cut it out? Do you think these rich people do not know a good investment when they donate to Hillary's campaign? Think about it! Go Bernie!

I don't think he would deal with other pressing issues very well.
