In the latest development that is certain to raise the heat under Merkel's cabinet and may lead to even higher support for Germany's anti-immigrant AfD party, Reuters reports that migrants in Germany committed or tried to commit some 69,000 crimes in the first quarter of 2016, according to a police report "that could raise unease, especially among anti-immigrant groups, about Chancellor Angela Merkel's liberal migrant policy."

Before the lynching of The Donald proceeds, what exactly was it he said about that Hispanic judge?
Stated succinctly, Donald Trump said U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is presiding over a class-action suit against Trump University, is sticking it to him. And the judge’s bias is likely rooted in the fact that he is of Mexican descent.
Can there be any defense of a statement so horrific?
Pat Buchanan comes to the defense of Trump for impugning Judge Curiel’s impartiality:
He attacked the independence of the judiciary, we are told.
But Presidents Jefferson and Jackson attacked the Supreme Court, and FDR, fed up with New Deal programs being struck down, tried to “pack the court” by raising the number of justices to 15 if necessary.
Abraham Lincoln leveled “that eminent tribunal” in his first inaugural, and once considered arresting Chief Justice Roger Taney.
It may seem like a different world now, but it was about 8 years ago when panicked traders woke up to find a dramatic collapse in overnight futures, which forced the clueless Fed to cut rates by 0.75% on fears that the great selling had started. It hadn't, at least not just yet, and a few hours later it was revealed that the plunge was the result of the action of one solitary "rogue" trader: Jerome Kerviel, who at that time worked for SocGen, Kerviel was later convicted of causing a record trading loss of €4.9 billion at the second largest French bank, Societe Generale.
