++The European news was the debate on whether the United Kingdom can meet its military needs and the concern the United States has about its ability to be a NATO partner. The other concern is about the United Kingdom and its relationship with the EU.
++Just away four days and Obama's Fast Track took mortal hits and the Europeans are concerned about what this will do to the United States in relationship to China's dominance in world trade.
++Hillary launched the most visible part of her campaign and ,indeed,the occasion was meant to launch her recruitment of volunteers. Hillary weighed in with her economic program so she is now so far ahead of GOP candidates you wonder what more can she run on.
++The encyclical of Pope Francis on climate change and the world economy was leaked and is sure to upset traditionalists who favor the status of the Pope over Catholic doctrine itself.
++JEB! launched with his exclamation point. He slipped and admitted he would have immigration reform. The Imperial Post made sure to have four front page stories on his launch to bolster their business ties. JEB is running on his record as governor--a record built pre-global crash. His father and brother were not there. So far Jeb shows he is rusty and slow to punch. His SuperPac was less than Super woefully underperforming.
++But think about it --Could Jeb! beat #Benghazi!. #Benghazi! wins.
++NEXT UP! Drumroll….THE DONALD . The DONALD's issue like Romney's was the question of releasing his financial statement. Apparently The DONALD will release a full financial statement showing his net worth at $9 billion. He has already hired staff in the 3 earliest primary states.
++I missed John Oliver's show where Helen Mirren reads the torture report.
++The Hotel staff in Paris thought I was there for the Air Show where Boeing sold 100 planes. Sort of sad I have sunk that low.
++But Simon Mann,who was hired by Mark Thatcher to overthrow the government of Equatorial Guinea with a mercenary force, says it is time mercenaries are used to defeat ISIS.
++The only ISIS news during my short stay away was the UK's first and youngest suicide bomber, who joined ISIS and attacked an Iraqi town with a major oil refinery. UK television coverage was interesting in that it actually was sensitive in probing how the teenager ended up with ISIS, something that would not have happened in the US.
++By the way, Congress till hasn't passed an Authorization to use Military Force --yet--while the US attacked Al Qaeda and ISIS in Yemen.
++The UK withdrew its pies around the world because it claims that the documents released by Edward Snowden came into the Chinese and Russia's hands an exposed active agents. In the UK there was enough skepticism about the report that they had Glenn Greenwald appear refuting the claim.
