Angela Merkel's open border policy comes under even more pressure:
18 Asylum Seekers Tied to Attacks on Women in Germany
BERLIN — At least 18 asylum seekers are among 31 people who have been identified so far by the federal police as having played a role in a violent assault on young women in the German city of Cologne on New Year’s Eve, the Interior Ministry said on Friday.
The police chief in Cologne was forced out of his job on Friday amid the growing uproar over the episode, which has ignited calls across the political spectrum for expelling convicted criminals, even if they are seeking asylum from war and persecution at home.
The 31 people linked to the violence in a police report have been identified by name and include nine Algerians, eight Moroccans, five Iranians and four Syrians, said an Interior Ministry spokesman, Tobias Plate. Two German citizens, an Iraqi, a Serb and a United States citizen were also among those linked to crimes that night, Mr. Plate said.
Not good. Or as a noted American opponent of illegal immigration would say, disgusting.
Good news! I am not a young woman.

Dave in MA,
Was going through the comments on that Ace thread and ran across something interesting.
Is it true that the federal workers are unionized by executive order from JFK and it could be rescinded by the same type of executive order?
Posted by: Miss Marple | January 08, 2016 at 09:23 PM
yes, it was and theoretically could be again:
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed Executive Order 10988, establishing the right of federal workers to engage in collective bargaining. Consequently, union membership among U.S. government employees soared from 13 percent in 1961 to 60 percent in the 1974. NFFE's membership also grew tremendously, roughly doubling during the same period from 80,000 members to 150,000 members.[7]
Posted by: narciso | January 08, 2016 at 09:27 PM
Rocco,
I'm so happy that you came back.
Posted by: Jane | January 08, 2016 at 09:27 PM
Executive Order 10988
It allows rather than mandates union membership and rescission would not obviate Civil Service procedures regarding termination.
A President can fire appointees, civil service, not so much.
Posted by: Rick Ballard | January 08, 2016 at 09:33 PM
narciso,
Thanks for looking that up.
Electing someone who would rescind that executive order would be huge.
Imagine how many could be laid off!

Rick,
Just saw your post.
What if you made the case for allowing firing, using the many bad actors (porn watching, exorbitant spending on vacation/conventions, using govt. credit cards for personal expenses, etc.)?
I think the public, who lives under a different set of rules, would get behind it.

Posted by: Paula | January 08, 2016 at 09:50 PM
Miss Marple,
I doubt the necessary revisions to the Civil Service Act could be made in the '17-'18 Congress due to filibuster problems in the Senate. Revisions would be a very interesting topic for the '18 election, particularly wrt Senate campaigns.
The new President could get off to a very nice start with JustUs by firing every damned US Attorney and Assistant US Attorney whose term hasn't expired. The firings would be within his prerogative and JustUs needs a general purge if trust is to be restored.
Posted by: Rick Ballard | January 08, 2016 at 09:53 PM
Rick,
Back in the early 90's Governor Evan Bayh allowed unionization of state employees by executive order.
When Mitch Daniels was elected, one of the first things he did was rescind it. To this day, Indiana government employees are not unionized.
Why would this not work with federal employees, since they are unionized by an executive order?
Posted by: Miss Marple | January 08, 2016 at 09:56 PM
what I meant by that:
NFFE became embroiled in a major legal fight with the Reagan administration. In August 1987, the Reagan administration issued civil service rules requiring all federal workers to sign a new secrecy pledge, Standard Form 189. Administration officials said the new form was designed merely to reinforce the need to maintain the security of those documents classified as top secret. But NFFE filed a lawsuit on August 17, 1987, challenging the constitutionality of the secrecy pledge.[8] In May 1988, a U.S. District Court ruled in National Federation of Federal Employees v. United States (688 F. Supp. 671) that Standard Form 189 was constitutional. The NFFE and other plaintiffs appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. In July 1988, the District Court further held in National Federation of Federal Employees v. United States (695 F. Supp. 1196) that certain terms in Standard Form 189 needed additional clarification by the executive branch. NFFE appealed this ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.[9] Meanwhile, in September 1988, the federal government issued Standard Form 312 as a replacement for Standard Form 189. The new form expunged much of the objectionable language which had so deeply concerned NFFE and other unions. On April 18, 1989, the Supreme Court held in American Foreign Service Association v. Garfinkel, 490 U.S. 153, that the issuance of Standard Form 312 may have resolved the conflict. The Supreme Court remanded the case back to the District Court to resolve any outstanding issues. The Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit also remanded the second NFFE lawsuit to District Court. In March 1990, the District Court dismissed the remaining issues in its ruling in American Foreign Service Association v. Garfinkel, 732 F. Supp. 13), and NFFE dropped any further attempts to revive the suit.[9]

Miss Marple,
The EO can be rescinded, the Civil Service protection of miscreants would not be affected by the rescission. I supposed the protection of miscreants could be obviated by IGs willing to refer individuals for prosecution to a DoJ willing to prosecute but it won't happen while we're still here in Rainbow Unicornland.

Good Morning and on topic!
From yesterdays Malaysian Star newspaper, here's more on The Religion of Peace's rulings on women:
Muslim women in Malaysia are forbidden to freeze their eggs before marriage.
Syariah law only allows a woman’s eggs to be fertilised by her husband’s sperm.
Thus, freezing her eggs for social purposes was not allowed, said fertility expert Dr Natasha Ain Mohd Nor.
“A fatwa has been established for Muslim women, where freezing their eggs before marriage is not permissible
Apparently the rapists in Cologne don't know that under Syariah Law a women's eggs are only supposed to receive semen from their husbands.

Yet, the LIBTARD MAYOR Jim Kenney also spoke at the press conference held Friday afternoon. And predictably said:
{{Mayor Kenney said, “In no way shape or form does anyone in this room believe that Islam or the teaching of Islam has anything to do with what you’ve seen on the screen.”
Mayor Kenney said of the shooting, “It is abhorrent. It is terrible and it does not represent the religion in any way, shape or form or any of its teachings.”

The part that gets me about the Muslim Cab Drivers at the St Paul/Minni Airport, is that I'm told we've just dumped our very good Airport Taxi Service at the Indy Airport and turned it over to some low rent Muslim run outfit.
I suppose it's to be expected in a cost cutting age, but it's unsettling for a whole lot of reasons.
If nothing else they ought to be investigated to see if they have any Female Muslim Cab drivers, and if not, then hammer them for sexual discrimination in their hiring practices.

I keep waiting for the muslim backlash against all these guys betraying their true religion of peace.
After all, according to the smart set, radical muslims are the dudes really slandering the prophet of islam, and we know the future must not belong to them. Barry Soetero said so.
Maybe they could convince us it's a religion of peace if they'd go out and stone and decapitate some of these crazy non-muslim cats to death or lynch a few rapists...you know, instead of stoning, decapitating and lynching the rapists victims.

Bless you and your son, GUS. JOM is an oasis of sanity in a world gone nuts.
I'm home in about 20 hours and looking forward to hugging momma and my 2 best buddies.

Trump is inspiring countless videos, songs, even poems. One of the videos produced by a supporter played by the campaign on the jumbotron before he came on stage in Lowell. Did anyone write songs about Romney?

RT (Russia Today) TV is running a version of this story reporting that Pepper Spray is being sold out all over Germany and primarily being purchased by women.
Makes sense. And my guess is that if the average German Fräulein could easily purchase a handgun they'd be jumping off the shelves also.

The latest HRC email shoe to drop must be bad - 24 hours and no lefty talking points worth a $h1t. Working out the terms of her "withdrawing for health reasons" compromise to avoid a felony indictment? Hey, I can dream.

narciso's 11:31 link is something.
to convict someone of honest services fraud, there has to be evidence of bribery or kickbacks — an actual criminal quid pro quo.
How about Joe Wilson meeting with SoS Clinton?
or
Harry Reid & Terry McAuliffe calling & yelling about EB-5 visas for their business interests?
or
Planned Parenthood courting politicians & getting money?
or
all the taxpayer money handed out to "green" businesses?
or
a cushy NBC job offered Chelsea Clinton?
The VIP loans?...government contracts to the PMA group? Barney Frank's lover's job at Fannie Mae?
The guy that gave McDonnell loans & his wife gifts...didn't get any state contracts or business. He didn't get a plum placement. Nobody in his family got state appointments or jobs.

Muslim woman kicked out of Trump event in South Carolina as she stood behind him in silent protest. Booed by the crowd, "you got a bomb, you got a bomb".

David Horowitz does a nice job of summing it up:
http://www.nationalreview.com/article/429423/left-betrayal-america
Last paragraph:
Our country is at a perilous crossroads, one that is made immeasurably more dangerous by a national party that blames its own country for the crimes of its enemies, and by a political opposition too feckless and timid to hold its fellow citizens responsible for their unconscionable acts.

Good morning and thanks Jane, I may wear out my welcome if I haven't already.
I'm surprised at the turnout for Trump in Lowell. I have many dear friends from Lowell and I've always considered it a very union oriented, mainly Democrat city. The Industrial Revolution brought many immigrant women and children to work in the Mills in Lowell.

Rick thanks for that ZH link. I sent it to my friend to ruin his weekend and suggested he go see the Big Short before he counts too much on the credit insurance policy he bought.

I think the crossover of blue collar Dems to Trump has both the Dems and the GOPe flummoxed.
FU vote is huge this cycle.

Janet,
GMTA. I was just getting ready to post that!
It's a great read.
