President Trump

Public support for controversial far-right leader Geert Wilders continues to rise in the Netherlands, despite his recent conviction for inciting racial hatred.

Mr Wilders was found guilty of inciting discrimination after leading a chant against allowing Moroccans to live in the Netherlands in 2014. The incident was filmed by TV cameras and Mr Wilder’s allegedly vowed to “take care” of immigration.

In a televised message following his conviction, Mr Wilders said: “I still cannot believe it, but I have just been convicted because I asked a question about Moroccans. The Netherlands has become a sick country. I have a message for the judges who convicted me: you have restricted the freedom of speech of millions of Dutch people and hence convicted everyone. No-one trusts you anymore. I will never be silent. You will not be able to stop me.”

In August, Mr Wilders said he wants to ban all Islamic symbols, mosques and the Quran from the Netherlands, as part of a “total de-Islamification”. Under the PVV, politicians say refugee asylum centres will be closed, and borders shut to migrants from Muslim countries.

His unvarnished remarks on immigration have won him much support and if polls are to be believed, his party would come out of the elections in March as the largest single party with a strong moral case for attempting to form a government.

Donald Trump has proved that it is not always true that the only place you can go is up. He has gone down instead.

A new Bloomberg Politics national poll contained horrible news for Republicans as 61% of voters disagreed with Donald Trump's criticism of President Obama on terrorism.

These "pollsters" aint learned a thing from Brexit and Trump's election, eh?

Keep up your faith in polls telling you what you want to hear, cheese-eaters.

Good luck with that.

After meeting with the president, the union chiefs did something no one expected.
They called the meeting “extraordinary” before delivering a statement that destroyed every democrat in the country.

Building Trades union chief Sean McGarvey speaking for the group said,

“The president laid out his plans about how he’s going to handle trade, how he’s going to invest in our infrastructure and how he’s going to level the playing field for construction workers and all Americans across this country. And then took the time to take everyone into the Oval Office and show them the seat of power in the world.

The respect that the president of the United States just showed us — and when he shows it to us he shows it to three million of our members in the United States — was nothing short of incredible. And we will work with him and his administration to implement his plans on infrastructure, trade and energy policy so that we really do put America back to work in middle class jobs that all Americans and our members are demanding.”

Look union members voted for Trump in large part, but union leadership all opposed Trump. To see that core democratic constituency flip sides so quickly means the democratic party is done for. Without union votes, cash and volunteers the democrats are a party without an army. A party without a vision. And one heading for oblivion.

Trump's travel ban is idiotic. Only Christians won't be detained. Who voted for this crazy man to be our president?

Customs agent asking a terrorist at the border, "are you a Christian?" "Yes."
You may enter.

A petition to stop US President Donald Trump's UK state visit has gathered more than a million signatures.

Numbers of signatories have been rising rapidly since a US clampdown on immigration came into effect over the weekend, causing anger worldwide.

PM Theresa May announced the visit during her recent US trip. Downing Street has rejected calls for it to be cancelled as a "populist gesture".

Labour's Jeremy Corbyn urged the PM to postpone the visit.

Graham Guest, a solicitor from Leeds who began the petition, said he wanted it to "put the spotlight" on Mr Trump.

On Sunday, he told the Press Association news agency: "A state visit legitimises his presidency and he will use

Six people have been killed and another eight wounded in a shooting at a mosque in Quebec City, Canada, police say.

Shots were fired at the Quebec Islamic Cultural Centre on Sunday night, where more than 50 people had gathered for evening prayers.

One suspect was arrested at the scene and another was arrested nearby. Police do not believe there are other suspects at large.

The Canadian authorities are treating the shooting as a terror attack.

"We condemn this terrorist attack on Muslims in a centre of worship and refuge," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a statement.
"Muslim-Canadians are an important part of our national fabric, and these senseless acts have no place in our communities, cities and country."

This despicable act will be applauded here (USA) by some. I'll likely hear "finally someone strikes back" later today at work.
