IN CASTEL VOLTURNO, ITALY, NIGERIAN GANGS RULE THE STREETS.
Via François Desouche, a report on Castel Volturno in Italy. I'm sorry I can't find the time to translate or provide subtitles, but the images speak for themselves:
Castel Volturno is a Naples suburb and has become a symbol of the forthcoming elections. This city of 30,000 'boasts' around 20,000 migrants. The state has promised 21 million EUR "for security and integration".
The city has fallen prey to marauding Nigerian gangs and throngs of African illegals. Life must be hell for the authochtons.
Those 21 million EUR could be put to much better use for the Italians themselves. But that is not going to be. They will be spent for tasks which WOULDN'T be necessary - "security" and "integration" - if only Europe's powers-that-be had had the backbone to protect the European borders. Not only that, but they will even be spent in vain - for there is no solving the crime problem anymore unless you deploy the army, and there's simply no integrating people who have actually brought Africa with them.
But then I guess this flood from across the Med and from the ME is all part of a sinister scheme to supplement, and if necessary replace, Europe's ageing and dwindling population.

PM VIKTOR ORBAN'S STATE OF THE NATION SPEECH IN BUDAPEST, HUNGARY.
A magnificent speech which will no doubt be completely neglected or at best ridiculed by Europe's moral betters and assorted intellectual pygmys, moral cowards, historical ignoramuses, and closet communists. Via our Brothers-in-Arms at Gates of Vienna:
What Europe needs is more (far more) Orbans and less (far less) Verhofstadts.
Many thanks to Crossware for the translation, and to the indefatigable Vlad Tepes for subtitling.

SUNDAY ART SNACK: THREE WORKS BY ANDREW WYETH.
"Charlie Ervine", painted in 1937.
A recurring character, probably a neighbor at Wyeth's summer retreat in Maine.
"Outpost", 1968.
This is Betsy Wyeth, Andrew's wife, at their Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania property.
"Public Sale", a work from 1943.
The painting depicts the auction of a farm after the death of the farmer's wife.
Goede nacht.
