Abolish the UN and scrap NATO.

Pull out anyway.
Make the UN headquarters a parking garage and yeah, get rid of the freeloaders.

Piers Morgan, once a CNN, liberal host, is currently being roasted for his opposition regarding the blatant media bias spewing out against Donald Trump's presidency. There wasn't too many pro-Obama on cable news more 'biased' than Piers. Likely why he never got the ratings he sought.

But even he is bewildered at to the misplaced venom being thrown against Trump, and he's been very vocal about it. Consequently, he's as much demonize now by the very media he found comfort with before.

I am not really up on Germany's political parties.  It seems Merkel is now losing the election to be held in six months.  It also seems likely that her replacement will be from the Social Democrats.  Can anyone elaborate?

Merkel's been Chancellor of Germany since 2005, rather normal that the electorate there would want something different after 13 years of CDU rule ;).

You did the same after fewer years :D.

It would appear the mainstream media (along with several celebrities and Swedish politicians) is going to be apologizing to President Trump once again.
Having spent the entire new cycle trying to ignore the immigrant crisis facing Sweden, and pin the ignorant tail on Trump, both Dagbladet and Expressen reports riots breaking out in the highly immigrant concentrated Stockholdm borough of Rinkeby, Sweden with police firing warning shots as 100s of young people throw stones and burn cars.
During the evening hundreds of young people gathered in the center of Rinkeby, well known for its high concentration of immigrants and people with immigrant ancestry.

In June 2010, Rinkeby was the scene of riots and attacks against the local police station and Rinkeby is the region in which the '60 Minutes' crew were attacked in 2016.

Sweden has taken in 650,000 asylum-seekers during the past 15 years – including 163,000 in 2015 alone, The Spectator reported. Of those refugees, 35,000 were unaccompanied children – or at least claimed to be. The children – mostly males from Afghanistan and Somalia – are only identified as minors by the age the applicant gives. The only time an applicant-provided age is rejected is if it’s “obviously” untrue, though there’s no clear definition of “obviously.” The Spectator interviewed asylum-seekers who admitted to lying about their age to improve their chances of avoiding deportation.

No, pretty much from their platform.

No...agitation is never involved in riots :rolleyes:
 
Statements made by Former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt failed to provide that the Orlando massacre was perpetrated by an Islamic radical which is the very essence of concern.
Florida has a population twice Sweden's 10 million.
The implication that news websites are instigating riots reminds me of the notorious "Bengazi video" story.

An Austrian court has cleared the way for Ukrainian businessman Dmytro Firtash to be extradited to the United States to face bribery allegations. The decision overturns an earlier ruling that deemed the US request was politically motivated.
In 2015, Firtash was arrested in Vienna at Washington’s request. He is accused of having paid millions of dollars to Indian politicians to obtain mineral exploration licences.
It has also emerged that Firtash had also been detained on a European arrest warrant based on a separate Spanish request.
Firtash was one of the most powerful tycoons during the years of the ousted pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovich.

The House of Commons two weeks ago passed the very short bill which allows PM May to trigger Article 50 and begin the process of the UK leaving the EU. But now the upper chamber of parliament, the House of Lords, must also pass the bill before it can be made law.
Eleven pages of amendments have already be tabled, and will have to be voted on before the bill can go through.

Russian billionaire industrialist Andrey Melnichenko hit a setback in plans to  sail his new €400 million “super yacht”,  as it was impounded by the Gibraltar Port Authority.
Gibraltar Admiralty Marshal Liam Yeats confirmed to euronews that yacht “A” was arrested on February 15, and released on February 21.
“Sailing Yacht A”, whose three masts are each taller than the Big Ben clock tower in London, was on its way to be delivered, but port authorities took control of the vessel after its German builder claims Melnichenko still owes €15 million.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has fiercely rejected comments made by Turkey’s President that Nazi practices were being used in her country.Recep Tayyip Erdogan made the claims after rallies designed to woo Turkish voters in Germany ahead of a referendum were cancelled.Some 1.4 million Turks who live in Germany can vote in Erdogan’s April referendum, which will grant the president more powers.Relations have also soured following the detention of Turkish-German journalist Deniz Yücel in Istanbul.Mrs Merkel said: “There are profound differences of points of view between Germany and Turkey on the state of liberty of the press and opinion in Turkey, on the destiny of many more than a hundred journalists in prison – also the destiny of our compatriot, the journalist Deniz Yücel.”

Relations between Turkey and the Netherlands are on shaky ground, amid a growing diplomatic spat over Turkish campaigning in Holland.After the Dutch government barred Turkey’s foreign minister from landing in Rotterdam, the row reached new levels late on Saturday night, when the Turkish Family Affairs Minister was prevented from entering the consulate.Dutch broadcasters reported that Fatma Betul Saya Kaya was detained before being escorted out of the country.She had travelled to Rotterdam from Germany, after the Dutch authorities revoked landing rights for the foreign minister.She insisted on entering the consulate to address roughly 2,000 pro-Erdogan protesters who had gathered outside for a rally to support the constitutional reforms that would extend President Erdogan’s powers, which is to be put to a referendum vote in April.The latest developments follow a fiery war of words, with Erdogan branding the fellow NATO member a ‘Nazi remnant’ for barring the foreign minister’s rally, while the Dutch premier responded that the comments were ‘crazy’. The anger filtered down to the streets of Rotterdam, where riot police broke-up protests by force

Italy’s Northern League, once a separatist political party wanting to split from the rest of Italy, has now dropped the separatism and is instead trying to ride the far-right nationalistic wave that seems to be sweeping up electors everywhere.But not in Naples. People here have not forgotten that until relatively recently the Northern League’s leader, Matteo Salvini, used the xenophobic language he now applies to immigrants to people from the south. Salvini is attempting to hold a rally in Naples as he seeks to broaden his party’s base beyond the north, but he has been met with stiff resistance, with the wife of Naples’ mayor leading the peaceful protests.

Turkey is furious at a decision by the Netherlands on Saturday to bar two Turkish ministers from addressing expatriates in the country ahead of a referendum in Turkey.
In retaliation, Turkey accused the Dutch of "Nazi" tactics, barred the Dutch ambassador from returning to Ankara, and suspended high-level relations with the Hague in a raft of diplomatic sanctions.
On Tuesday, Turkey's deputy prime minister Numan Kurtulmus said the country may levy economic sanctions against the Netherlands as well.
EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini had called on Turkey to "refrain from excessive statements and actions that risk further exacerbating the situation", but her message appears to have had little effect.
Turkey called the appeal "worthless".Why did the Dutch ban the Turkish rallies?The spat began when two Turkish ministers were barred from entering the country to attend rallies that were to be attended by ethnic Turks in the Netherlands.

The party's leader has been convicted - in December 2016 for making discriminatory and inciting hatred remarks regarding Islam
