As the European Union is gasping on life support, most of us feel that this failed experiment in a new world order will give us time to breathe. Nothing is further from the truth as they realize that this is their last chance to succeed. The Communists in Congress (knows as the Progressive Caucus) in conjunction with the administration are being backed into a corner. Tyranny never fades away without a fight to the death.
