Two months before Obama won the White House, I founded the Bohemian Bank that would cater to, and unite the Service Industry into a political powerhouse. The efforts to increase the minimum wage, have been successful. Seventy percent of Americans work in service industry jobs that are under attack in Brussels and France where citizens talked about taking their kitchen tables out of doors and having dinner in defiance of ISIS terrorists who struck at restaurant, and a place that pays musicians to entertain. Waitresses and busboy are not going to work. They live paycheck to paycheck. What I am suggesting is a World Wide Tip Bank, an emergency fund that can help workers, and Bohemian establishments survive during a time of crisis, that hopefully is temporary. If this terror lasts too long, then were must invent a alternative. This is the Bohemian way!

The central square, known as the Grand Place or Grote Market, was all but deserted, except for a few tourists ambling around a giant Christmas tree. Soldiers patrolled an area normally thronged with shoppers, and armored personnel carriers rolled over cobblestone streets usually choked with cars.
For many people, it was one thing to be locked down on a weekend, but quite another on a weekday when jobs and chores were supposed to be done. “We feel as if we’re taken hostage by the security situation because we’ve had to change our habits, because everything’s closed,” said Deborah Mix, who manages a Bruyerre chocolate shop. “I can’t go do my shopping. I need to be careful when I leave the house. At the same time I feel like the security measures are adding to this climate of fear.”
The greatest fear for Charlie Attar, who runs a shop specializing in winter clothes, was not so much a terrorist attack as a lockdown that extends into the Christmas shopping season. “Usually I get a lot of tourists from Switzerland, the Netherlands, from Scandinavian countries,” he said, puffing nervously on a cigarette. “It’s going to be a catacomb. I need to pay rent. It’s going to get a lot more difficult.”
Brussels, Belgium (CNN)France launched its first airstrikes from an aircraft carrier against ISIS on Monday as French President Francois Hollande prepared to meet with world leaders in an attempt to build an anti-ISIS coalition.
Brussels remained tense amid warnings of a possible terrorist attack. Authorities charged a suspect in connection with the Paris killings, Belgium’s Federal Prosecutor Office said Monday, and the nation’s prime minister said Brussels will remain at the highest terror level until at least next Monday.
French warplanes took off from the aircraft carrier Charles De Gaulle, which was deployed recently in the eastern Mediterranean, and attacked ISIS targets in Syria and Iraq, said the spokesman for the Etat Major des Armées, the French Chief of Defense Staff.
With the addition of those carrier-based aircraft, France now has 38 aircraft carrying out bombing raids against ISIS, CNN correspondent Jim Bittermann said.
France had already been attacking ISIS by air, but not from its carrier, and hit targets in Ramadi and Mosul in Iraq on Monday, the ministry of defense said.
The French President prepared a diplomatic initiative to form a multi-national force to fight ISIS, the terrorist group that claimed responsibility for the November 13 attacks that left 130 dead in Paris.
Hollande will visit Washington to meet with U.S. President Barack Obama on Tuesday, then meet with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday and travel to Moscow to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday.
Hollande met with British Prime Minister David Cameron earlier Monday and they agreed to a pan-European effort for stronger external EU border controls, a more effective way of screening people and greater information sharing, Cameron said.

In a swipe at Republican presidential candidates, President Obama said Sunday that U.S. actions to discriminate against Muslims would give the Islamic State a victory over America by dividing the country.
“We will not give in to fear, or start turning on each other, or treating some people differently because of religion or race or background,” Mr. Obama said at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where he is wrapping up a nine-day trip. “That’s precisely what terrorists like ISIL want, because, ultimately, that’s the only way that they can win.”
