"federal agencies charged with protecting America’s citizens (Department of Homeland Security, FBI, Office of the Director of National Intelligence) only do “outreach” to organizations which are known members of the Muslim Brotherhood’s (MB) Islamic Movement in the United States, many of them Hamas—all of them hostile to America."

Merkel: German multiculturalism 'utterly failed'
My Way News - Merkel: German multiculturalism 'utterly failed'
"Chancellor Angela Merkel's declaration that Germany's attempts to build a multicultural society had 'utterly failed' is feeding a growing debate over how to deal with the millions of foreigners who call the country home.
Merkel told a meeting of young members of her conservative Christian Democratic Union that while immigrants are welcome in Germany, they must learn the language and accept the country's cultural norms - sounding a note heard increasingly across Europe as it battles an economic slump and worries about homegrown terrorism."

'The problem is stark:
Over the last decade in California, spending on state employees' compensation rose nearly three times faster than state revenues.
This has squeezed resources for programs, such as higher education and job training, that benefit private-sector workers.
This year, for the first time ever, our state was forced to spend more on retirement costs ($6.5 billion) than on higher education.'"
