ISIS is not solvable in the present distribution of the coalition forces. The only better resolution is to give a Kurds own statehood at the expense of Syria, Iraq, and Turkey. Turkey does not want it and is fighting Kurds. Arabs, Irans are also against each other. Russia is supporting own fraction in Syria, while West another. Any direct land intervention would only mean escalation of war into states friendly to USA like Turkey and Jordan.

I am for a legal proceeding having her removed from the position. Demonstrating at her driveway is a harassment and illegal. However, the SCOTUS ruled clearly, and she is violating federal laws. It is not up to her to decide if two consenting adults are getting married. Federal court will deal with her and she will have her 15 minute fame.
Her personal life is all over the news. She is a public figure and she should think prior digging in her bigotry what stain on her marriage(s) would be revealed by press. Considering that she is married four times and had children with a man who was not her husband and yet showing her fundamentalist beliefs into other face regarding other people marriage is nothing more than hypocrisy.

"hopefully the blame will be charged to the blind, near-sighted lefty bleeding-hearts that allowed this violation of national, natural borders."
This is correct. I do not have problem with a legal immigration conducted by standard set of laws and regulation. However, what is happening is total violation of immigration laws by this refugee exodus who disregard national sovereignty and want to settle in countries where the welfare benefits are the highest.
The Dublin 3 Treaty was clear on handling refugees and granting asylum for people in distress. Refugees that are rioting in Greece, Hungary, Czech Republic and demand higher allowances are nothing more than hostile invasion. These people think that it is Hungarian government responsibility to drop them at Austrian borders without even paying transportation ticket. For past several days Hungarian railways are paralyzed, trains leaving Budapest are delayed by hours. I was watching Hungarian news and nothing good nor benefit will come from these hordes for EU. Leftist governments are refusing to address the issue and they are refusing to communicate with the local population that bears the cost with this exodus.

Germany until 2011 was banning all citizens from Central Europe to work there, while Ireland and UK opened markets already in 2004. Romanians and Bulgarians are still forbidden to work in Germany. So instead Bulgarian programmers, and Romanian engineers, Germany will get experts on head cutting, shoe bomb making, and goat hording. 800,000 all of them. What is now exiting Hungary in these transports, should scare any sane German. They can welcome them with open arms, and seize vacant homes to settle these refugees as needed, so Germany can truly and fully experience cultural enrichment, but in reality Germany would not be able to cope with the exodus. And this exodus will not stop at this winter either.
Either way, Central Europe does not want to deal with it, as these refugees do not want to be there. They want German welfare money and care. As Czech official said yesterday, Merkel will claim in front of her voters that the Central Europe caused the problem by not accommodating the exodus and they will get blamed for everything wrong what this migration wave is causing.

She is not forced by the government to conduct gay marriage ceremony. Her sole responsibility is to conduct federal, state, and county obligation as an elected official and county clerk. Whatever she believes, is irrelevant as she is in a public position and she is required to conduct her duties accordingly. If she cannot uphold elected duties, she should resign. She is absolutely no in authority to enforce her misguided religious beliefs in public office. She should be removed from office and jailed for contempt of court, which will happen.
This four time married, glutton is cherry picking her biblical reasoning. If she is thorough with her Christian faith, she should demand to be stoned for adultery.

The issue is failed Schengen, Prologos. Per Schengen rules, first country where the refugees will appear will be primary responsible for registering them. In that case it is Greece. However, Greece is dumping that problem into Balkans by literally ferry the refugees from islands into Thrace where they pour into Hungary. Hungary is totally overwhelmed as country cannot cope with +100,000 refugees. Refugees doe not want to stay in Central Europe, but want to go where they get better benefits and more money: Germany, Sweden, UK, France, Netherlands, and Denmark. When I was in Prague couple days ago, there were two refugee riots; another one in eastern Slovakia two weeks ago. Every day, hundreds of refugees are pouring from Hungary to Slovakia to Czech Republic to reach Germany. Central Europe is not stupid and wait until Germany closes border and lets hundreds of thousand migrants stuck there at the same time, when Czech Republic and Poland is already hosting tens of thousand refugees from war-torn Ukraine.
The exodus is not Visegrad problem; they did not create it, the refugees do not want to stay there, and EU is doing nothing to stop it. If Frau Merkel wants to have 800,000 refugees, Visegrad is happy to deliver to them (which will be materialized by unloading refugees at rail crossing at Bad Schandau in Saxony within next several weeks before winter settles in). Czechs, Poles, Slovaks, and Hungarians will not carry burden for something Western powers had created. Yesterday, Austrian government blocked roads from all its eastern neighbors, creating backups miles long. Nonetheless, arrogant Austrian witch minister, Johanna Milk-Leintner is threatening all Eastern Block to withhold all EU funds to them (btw, all countries including Czech Republic and Poland are contributing to them). Austria should realize that Hapsburg monarchy had failed 97 years ago and any confrontation with NATO states would not go too well for them. All four states knows that Germany and Austria wants shift problem into Central Europe and accuse them for mistreating the refugees, while covering their own asses.

Thanks LoveUniHateExams. This what today Visegrad Group (Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, and Slovakia) had said to Germany. Neither these countries colonized or destabilized 3rd world from which refugees are pouring in. This is clear failure of France, UK, Italy, Belgium, and Netherlands. Hungary alone is overrun by over 100,000 refugees. Germany and France is criticizing its Eastern EU members for not accommodating the exodus on their expense. Germany and France fails to see these countries are independent and have their own rules when it comes to immigration. Neither ex-Eastern Block country will get get bossed around by anyone, especially by France, Germany, and Austria. Germany is behaving like it is running the show there like during WWII without SS divisions. All four countries are clear; the refugee problem is West Europe problem. Refugees do not want to stay in Central Europe. They were rioting to get into Germany, France, and Austria because social and welfare benefits are much higher in the West than in former, communist East. Frau Merkel thinks that Central Europe should turn into wast refugee camp. Czech, Slovak, and Hungarian governments are coordinating to push all these migrants to Bad Schandau railway crossing in Saxony, and lets German deal with the problem through the September.
Additionally, I find disgusting when Western Europeans are criticizing USA, country that pulled twice Europe from the misery. Without American dollars, American sacrifice, and under American army protection, they will be worshiping Stalin and queue in lines for rationed goods. What the heck did any of these Western countries ever did in the 20th century for freedom and democracy? Nothing! UK and France sacrificed the only democracy east of France in 1938 to Hitler. Half of the Europe was cooperating with Germans from Spain to Finland and from Norway to Bulgaria. Germans could not even create own democratic system. American occupational forces had to do it for them after 1945. But Americans are the bad guys. Typical Western European hypocrisy.

She is three time divorcee, and married for the fourth time. She fasted, but still look like overweight pig prior slaughter. Obviously, she is one of the Xtians who pic and choose. Unfortunately, she was elected and cannot be removed from office, even if she get arrested for contempt of court. She only could be recalled by the county population. -

I am a vivid gardener, and I love to garden. Over the last weekend I was planting shrubs to replace these that died in the heat of the summer. I am preparing my lawn for overseeding in September. I have a decent size of yard and I own one of the oldest trees in the area (it is about 120 years old, 90ft tall and you need four people to wrap around the trunk). I live in subtropical climate with short, snowy winter, and long, hot, humid summer. I am currently in the process also creating a new flowerbed around my shed for herbs. I divided the property that way that flowerbeds are around the house and fences, and lawn is between.
On my shady side, I planted hydrangea. I have two types of them, lace cap and oak leaf. However, my favorite are camellias. I got many of them from camellia society and I have about dozen of them. Three of them were imported from Asia. My camellias are blooming either in the spring or through fall to the first frost. Under my huge tree, I have rhododendrons. I also planted mountain laurels, gardenia, wiegela, myrtles, summersweet, chaste tree, anise, and persian lilac. I also have calla lilies, six different types of cannas, gladiolas, fuchsia, freesias.
I do not grow vegetables, animals would eat every fruit and veggie on sight. I gave up feeding them. My grandmother had nice garden surrounded by climbing grape wines, almond trees, peaches, and apricots back in Europe. She had a well in the middle of the court yard covered with cast iron, and the court yard smelled nicely with lavenders and rosemary. I wish I could recreate the garden as she had, but different climate made it impossible.
