Welcome back to another "Stream of Kurtiousness"! I'm coming to you from Paris, and by the time you see this, I should be on my way home to Texas. The French have been wonderful to us, except the sommelier who didn't like my wine choice. Everybody's been very nice to us as Americans. We've heard nothing about Iran at all. Nobody's nasty, obnoxious. I think it's important we travel and important to get outside the United States if you're going to talk about what's happening overseas. It's how we get the real facts on the ground, because you're not going to get them from the Mainstream Media. Now, the idea that the French are obnoxious people is simply not true. They're very nice. They're very polite. They mind their own business. Just don't be a jerk, and they're cool to you. I do enjoy coming to Paris occasionally, and Europe. Not Germany – my ancestors left for a reason. So, it's cool to be here.

It's also cool to see what's happening in Iran. I like how President Trump had one of our destroyers fire a couple of rounds into the engine room of a ship that tried to run our blockade. They lost, and our Marines took the ship. Doing what Marines do. Everyone is still announcing that Donald Trump is doomed, it's over, it's finished. And who knows? Who knows what's going to happen? But here's why I think it's all going to work out – Donald Trump understands what real power is.
