Vive La République! Vive La France!

A 11heures, je vois sur la chaine FranceInfo, le meeting de Marine LePen <<La France Qu'on M!>> Je comprends un moitié des phrases, surtout les phrases typiques des politiques. <<Nous sommes prets! Notre projet est ambitieux. Il est moderne, il est nationale, pour la France. Avec un état protecteur. Des prédateurs en bas, comme les prédateur en haut! Nos filieres en peril. C'est vous que payer la fraude! Une immigration anarchique. A l'étranger que vient de nous, respecter nos lois! Le peuple francais est un peuple généreux et amicale, mais c'est en eux de décide qui peut rester, que peut etre francais. ... Nous voulons un France en paix. Nous en avons le courage, la volonté. Notre économie sera protégé, enfin. Des choix philosophiques. Avec nous, léconomie restera au service des gens. Les couts de confinements, la politique sanitaire, cette pénurie appliqué sur nos société. Qui a justifié la désolation sociale? La France est pour tous les Francais! Ce projet sur la grande politique maritime. Il faut faire des choix. A conquérir des nouveaux marchés. Le bonheur des francais. Cést une France fraternelle, qui sait que l'avenir, qui jamais abandonne des enfants. Rapellez-vous! Le pouvoir de l'achat c'est le grand question d'aujourd'hui. Qu'importe la gauche, qu'importe la droite, l'importance, c'est la France! L'indivisibilité de la république! La mobilisation! Lorsque le pays va vers l'abime... Nous allons gagné! L'avenir est dans vos mains. Vive la république! Vive la France!>>

EUA: tanto estrago em tão pouco tempo

As part of my effort to learn about Portugal, both the country and the language, I'm subscribing to the centrist newspaper, O Publico . There are plenty of newspapers: conservative tabloids, and socialist and communist-sponsored daily papers; I find O Publico to be most sober, with consistently interesting columnists and opinion pieces, in addition to some local (Porto) news, with just enough sporting news to keep me chatting with the taxi driver. Today's opinion piece sums up, I think, European pundits' view of the U.S. government. As the title puts it: so much damage in so little time. I shudder at the rank incompetence and corrupt behavior, demonstrating a cynical attitude toward public service, showing indeed that the cruelty is the point. What scandal, what damage will be the tipping point to collapse this government? And what will it take to recover from the damage? Who will be able to trust the US government again, ever? Only ni...

Riding the Bus often

From 201010 Saudi scenes It is ironic that this land of cheap gasoline has so much group transport -- buses. From 201010 Saudi scenes Our housing compound has a Toyota-Coaster bus that takes some to/from school (we usually go earlier and return later, on a similar bus that the school provides). Driver Yahya takes residents on the 90-minute trip down to the Big City shopping every Thursday morning. The above picture shows our group one Thursday, usually going to Ikea or the new Lulu's Hypermarket , or the Dhahran Mall. Coleman rides a different bus every day to and from school -- usually 100 minutes there, 80 minutes back. His bus is evidently an old tourist bus, usually comfortable but a bit dusty. The air-conditioning usually works too well. I've ridden it with him several times, to attend business meetings at the district office. From 201010 Saudi scenes There he is, at 5:45am every morning, at the start of the bus run. Fortunately only about 20 stu...

Yikes! Russian Chocolate!

The other day we chanced upon a Slavic grocery store. We went inside, marveled at all the products from various eastern european countries, from Czechia to Poland to Yugoslavia to Russia to Kazakhstan. I grabbed a chocolate bar... and now I realize that it's Russian, imported via Germany. The ingredients list is written in Russian, Kyrgyz, and Uzbek; and a separate ingredients sticker pasted over it in German. No Portuguese or Spanish or English. Hmm. How did it get here? And what sort of sanctions are imposed on Russian confectioners? The chocolate itself is just okay, nothing special.
