Jindal noted that the policy papers his campaign had unveiled in recent months, on issues such as energy and education, hadn't resonated with voters.

Great!

He's needed at home to do his JOB!

He needs to activate the NG to round up and deport all the islamonazis, not just the recent imports ALLAH em!

We fought a civil war to end slavery only to let a "religion" bring it back?

It should be criminalized on that point alone!

I have been shocked by how nasty Jindal is. His remarks re Trump, as well as Christie in that last debate were just mean.

I mean it as an agreement, but I can see how it could be taken as a sarcastic remark.

When I disagree I generally do it without wry humor. LOL

Take care.


After the events in Paris on 11/13, I will be adding
this to my posts for the next week. I'm certain our
turn is coming again soon. We stand united against
Islamic extremists.


Some music for reflection if the mood strikes you.

An honorable mention also goes out to Lassana Bathily , a Muslim immigrant from Mali.
Mr. Bathily sheltered customers at the Jewish Deli and helped police by providing info
on the terrorists, and providing the location of survivors in the deli.
