WEEK 022 / 073 — Black Borders
NOVEMBER 13, 2015. AN OCEAN AWAY, THE CITY OF LIGHT GOES DARK. THE CHRONICLE DRAWS ITS BORDERS IN BLACK.
My prayers are with the victims and hostages in the horrible Paris attacks. May God be with you all.

“President Obama said ""ISIL continues to shrink"" in an interview just hours before the horrible attack in Paris. He is just so bad! CHANGE.”
“When will President Obama issue the words RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM? He can't say it, and unless he will, the problem will not be solved!”
“We, as a country, either have borders or we don't. IF WE DON'T HAVE BORDERS, WE DON'T HAVE A COUNTRY!”

This week in the saga
The week that began with debate spoils and ratings trophies ends in a black-bordered page: Paris burns, and the saga stops to pray. Then grief hardens — they laughed when he said to bomb the oil fields, and no one is laughing now — and the indictment falls on the departing king, who declared the enemy shrinking mere hours before the blood. The demand tolls like a bell: say the words. And a country, he warns, is only as real as its borders.
