Germans Panic As Muslims March Through City for Ashura Holiday Islamists March in Germany ** 162,700 new migrants entered the Bavarian region of Germany so far this month. 170,000 new migrants entered Bavaria last month. This is the future progressive immigration policies are bringing to Europe today and the United States tomorrow. In the video below, you can hear German women talking about Islamists marching through their town. Their voices and words display panic and fear: Transcript via Breitbart: “I thought I was the only one who’s in a bad mood because of this.” “None of us want this. We’re...

Tony Abbott, the former prime minister of Australia, used his first major speech since his ouster last month to denounce Europe’s migration policies, warning in London that the continent risked “fundamentally weakening itself” through “misguided altruism” as large numbers of asylum seekers arrive. “All countries that say ‘anyone who gets here can stay here’ are now in peril, given the scale of the population movements that are starting to be seen,” Mr. Abbott, a conservative, said on Tuesday during a lecture honoring the British prime minister Margaret Thatcher.

Ok, it's Massachusetts... but their primary counts like any other.

11 Months before September 11: Secondly, there is other forms of racial profiling that goes on in America. Arab-Americans are racially profiled in what is called secret evidence. People are stopped, and we have to do something about that. My friend, Senator Spencer Abraham of Michigan, is pushing a law to make sure that Arab-Americans are treated with respect. So racial profiling isn’t just an issue at local police forces. It’s an issue throughout our society. And as we become a diverse society, we’re going to have to deal with it more and more. I believe, though — I believe,...

This just aired.

Most S.C. Republican primary voters want a president with no prior elected political experience, according to a new poll released Tuesday to The State. A Public Policy Polling survey found Donald Trump would win 37 percent of the vote from S.C. Republicans and Ben Carson would pick up 21 percent. The rest of the crowded GOP field of 17 candidates was struggling in the single digits.

Faced with a surge in migration from the Middle East and North Africa, two European countries are exploring the possibility of erecting towering steel security fences along parts of their borders, similar to Israel's barrier with Egypt. Hungary and Bulgaria have made preliminary inquiries about buying the Israeli-designed fences, according to an Israeli business source who declined to be named due to the sensitivity of the discussions. Both EU countries are beefing up their borders to deter migrants, many of them refugees from wars, who are seeking to use them as gateways to richer countries further north and west, particularly...

It’s well-known that Barack Obama’s success has depended largely on independent and Republican voters. The corollary to that, however, has been less thoroughly reported: Obama is losing among Democrats. Over at the Perfect World, Cal Lanier crunches the numbers and finds that Obama, despite being ahead among pledged delegates, has fewer total votes among people who identify themselves as Democrats. (He has 7,392,809 votes; Clinton has 8,229,063.) That gives Clinton as lead with 52 percent of Democrats. Lanier also breaks the numbers down by race and points out that Obama has won white Democrats in only two states: New Mexico...

The big names of the economics profession and the best business journalists have offered deserved praise to Milton Friedman, the great man of 20th-century economics who died last week at 94. I would like to add a footnote about his political shrewdness and his partner in a life that brightened so many others' experience. I had two encounters with Milton Friedman, at an interval of more than 50 years. The first came when I was a student at the University of Chicago, where he was a young member of the economics faculty.

The RNC is sending this memo to surrogates this afternoon. NATIONAL Of the precincts that the RNC is monitoring turnout, we have a ?% turnout advantage over the 2004 turnout (GOP precincts are turning out at 32.9% of 2004 vote while DEM precincts are turning out at 32.5% of 2004 vote) Many states like Colorado, Nevada, Arizona have 25% of votes cast before election day. ARIZONA There were 60K more ballots submitted by Republicans before Election Day ? and 41% of the state has already voted. In 2004 Exit Polling was off by 3.5% (they had it at 7%, actual...

The state police union demanded today that Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley release his application to practice law to quell speculation about whether he properly disclosed a nearly 20-year-old drunken driving charge. The move by the Maryland Fraternal Order of Police was seen by supporters of the Democratic candidate for governor as a blatant political ploy by a union that supports his Republican rival, Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. Although Ehrlich has said the issue should not play out in the election, his chief of staff, James C. "Chip" DiPaula Jr., was copied on the e-mail release of the union's statement....

LEESBURG, Va. Republican Senator George Allen is accusing his Democratic opponent, Jim Webb, of provoking yesterday's videotaped confrontation between Allen supporters and a liberal blogger. Men wearing blue Allen lapel stickers put University of Virginia law student Michael Stark in a chokehold and slammed him to the floor yesterday after an Allen rally in Charlottesville. Allen was asked today if he regretted the conduct of his supporters. He put the blame on Webb, saying Stark's behavior was typical of the Webb campaign. Webb says he does not know Stark. But he says he regrets ... quote ... "the conduct of...

Last month, I speculated in Slate that the mounting incidence of childhood autism may be related to increased television viewing among the very young. The autism rise began around 1980, about the same time cable television and VCRs became common, allowing children to watch television aimed at them any time. Since the brain is organizing during the first years of life and since human beings evolved responding to three-dimensional stimuli, I wondered if exposing toddlers to lots of colorful two-dimensional stimulation could be harmful to brain development. This was sheer speculation, since I knew of no researchers pursuing the question....
