Sweden ‘Facing Collapse’ Thanks To Migrant Influx, Foreign Minister Warns
Sweden is facing collapse thanks to the recent huge influx of migrants into the country, the Swedish foreign minister has said. As 190,000 migrants this year alone pour into the country, law and order is beginning to break down as the country plays witness to numerous arson attacks, stabbings and gang rapes. The Swedish foreign minister Margot Wallstrom has warned that Sweden, a country of just 9.8 million people, cannot continue to take migrants at the present rate without services breaking down. In an interview, Mrs Wallstrom said: “I think most people feel that we cannot maintain a system where perhaps 190,000 people will arrive every year – in the long run, our system will collapse. “And that welcome is not going to receive popular support.” She has called on other European Union member states to take on more migrants in a bid to relieve pressure within her own country, but said: “I have to admit that there have been moments recently of very great disappointment. I have heard statements from member states that have been completely astonishing and very discouraging.” Once thought of as one of Europe’s most peaceful nations, Sweden is rapidly becoming a fragmented nation, at war
Dear Clueless RNC: One Word Can Solve Your Debate Debacle – Streaming
Earlier thss month, the NFL streamed a football game and 15 million people tuned in. The game wasn’t available on regular television or cable television. In order to watch, you had to stream it over your television or computer via the Internet. Fifteen million people did that. Wednesday night, after we were assured it would never happen again, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus once again walked our top presidential candidates into a corrupt DC Media propeller. The CNBC debate was a partisan debacle. Why anyone who knows anything about the media would allow a hostile partisan (and proven liar) like John Harwood anywhere near a Republican candidate is beyond comprehension. Fourteen million tuned into that debate. Things need to change. Forever. The Republican base is explosively in revolt against a corrupt DC Media that continues to gleefully frog and scorpion us. We were in a GOP temple-toppling mood prior to Wednesday night’s debate, and the RNC’s unforgivable, incompetent, serial-mishandling of our candidates has only fueled that fervor. Thankfully, other than John Kasich and Jeb Bush (according to the latest reports), our candidates are well aware of this fact and meeting this weekend to discuss a solution. The only question

Watch: David Brooks Threatens to Move to Canada If Trump GOP Nominee
Friday on PBS’s “NewsHour,” New York Times columnist David Brooks discussed the rise newly elected Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), who is emerging as one of the front-runners for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination. According to Brooks, the rise of the Ryan and Rubio represent a “generational shift” for the GOP. “Temperamentally, he’s sort of fit for it. He had a nice line in there, that he said, if we have clarity, we will have more charity,” Brooks said. “And that is both sides of him. He has certain convictions, a pretty conservative guy. But he is also a really nice guy who does get along with people and who is a very charitable guy. And so I think, temperamentally, he’s well suited for the moment, as much as anybody can be. But he does believe in certain things. And I think, if there is — can be small agreements over the next couple of months, or 18 months, whatever it is, he will go for it. But I don’t expect that to happen. I think the big news of Paul Ryan’s ascension is that it’s possible that the Republican Party, after really veering off

NBC’s Russert: ‘Near Universal Belief’ On Hill That Troops Sent To Syria Aren’t Enough, Dems Making ‘Vietnam Analogies’
NBC News Capitol Hill Correspondent Luke Russert said that there is “near universal belief” on Capitol Hill that the 50 commandos sent to Syria are “not enough” and that liberal Democrats oppose the move, with some making “Vietnam analogies” on Saturday’s “Up” on MSNBC. Russert said, “a lot of people from where I work, usually on the hill, see this as a reaction by the White House to Russia’s continuing involvement in Syria, as well as this belief that they want to be able to hold the ground they’ve taken so far. However, I can also tell you from my conversations on Capitol Hill, there is near universal belief that 50 commandos, training, advising, and assisting, whatever that means, is not enough. If you’re really going to go in, you have to have more. … A lot of liberal Democrats that I spoke to yesterday do not want to see this escalation, they see this as a slow drip, drip, drip. I heard Vietnam analogies a few times yesterday.” Follow Ian Hanchett on Twitter @IanHanchett
Roof Caves In On Cop-Hater Tarantino: 1,000 Police Organizations Join ‘Hateful Eight’ Boycott
The chickens have come home to roost for director Quentin Tarantino, a thousand of them in fact, as the National Association of Police Organizations announces that it, and the 1,000 police units and associations it represents, will join the boycott against “The Hateful Eight.” Add to that number nearly a quarter of a million law enforcement officers represented by this group. In a cynical attempt to boost his standing with the left-wing black media, the sheltered, out-of-touch Tarantino joined a Black Lives Matter-affiliated anti-cop hate rally and called police officers “murderers.” Harvey Weinstein, producer of “The Hateful Eight,” is reportedly “furious” at Tarantino and “desperate” to see the director apologize for his objectively appalling comments. Weinstein has somewhere around $80 million invested in the three-hour Western, and after a lousy year, desperately needs a box office hit and an Oscar contender. You can’t succeed in Hollywood at the level Tarantino has without being smart. His problem is that he’s bubble-dumb, so shielded and removed from real life that he thought spewing anti-police hate at a hate rally was good public relations. Mr. Tarantino needs to turn off CNN, grow a beard, and move to Wyoming for a year. Provincialism does
