[Hurriyet Daily News] A tomato statue located at the entrance of the Mediterranean province of Burdur’s Cavdir district was attacked with a gun on Jan. 31, Dogan News Agency has reported.
A signboard with the large tomato statue that says "Welcome to Sögut town" was erected six months ago in the district, which is known for producing 70,000 tons of tomatoes on average every year.
The attack was first carried out with a gun and was later attacked again with a hunting rifle.
"They attacked with a gun first, but they could not demolish it. Then they attacked with a hunting rifle, but again they could not topple it. It is still standing," Salih Yavuz, the mayor of Sögut, said.

Give them green cards. Green card holders get the same taxes and benefits as citizens so when citizen compete with a green card holder its fair. Contrast that to competing with an H1B whose total costs with no ss, workman's comp, bennies, insurance etc is %20 to %30 less than a citizens. Right now H1B is similar in concept to an indentured servant from the capital cost point of view.
#2
US Businesses prefer H1B because the person cannot leave. I have dealt with IT contracting firms and h1b for many years and in my opinion it is unfair to the worker just trying to make a living.
#3
Why is there no program to train Americans to fill these positions?
I've worked in many places as a consultant where H1Bs were numerous but virtually none of the work was such that an American couldn't have been trained up to fill it.
The cost difference is the driving force with the added attraction of flexibility of task and ease of removal.
#4
Also the H1B indentured servants are cheaper than Americans. The tech industry abuses the hell out of this since they make even more money laying off the American engineers who build the thing and bringing in skilled, cheap labor to maintain it.
I'm for raising the cost to force Google and its ilk to actually not fuck its American workers over as much. (They still will though)

I agree, eliminate the H1B program and issue green cards instead. One thing they seems to not notice, is that the ban only applies to seven high risk countries and not to any of the others so far. So really, it's a moot point for them, they seems to be making noises for some reasons.
Morocco has been readmitted to the African Union more than three decades after it left when the continental body recognised the independence of the disputed territory of Western Sahara. Hopes that the move could pave the way for peace-building were bolstered after Western Sahara – regarded by Morocco as part of its historic territory – welcomed the readmission.
Morocco’s King Mohammed VI, who had been campaigning since last year to join the bloc, told African leaders at the AU summit in Addis Ababa: “Africa is my home, and I am coming back home.”
The foreign minister of Western Sahara (officially the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic), Mohamed Salem Ould Salek, said on Monday that Morocco’s readmission was a “positive step for the people of Western Sahara”.
A former Spanish colony, Western Sahara was annexed by Morocco in 1975 and was the focus of conflict between Morocco and indigenous people led by the Polisario Front until a UN-brokered truce brought the armed insurgency to a halt in 1991.
A UN-supervised referendum on independence was supposed to be held in 1992 but was aborted when Morocco objected to the proposed electoral register, which it said was biased in favour of secession. A UN peacekeeping mission that attempted to organise the vote has remained in the territory ever since, monitoring the 2,700km-long sand wall built by the Moroccan army across the desert that separates the two sides.
Thirty-nine countries supported Morocco’s bid for readmission into the AU this week but nine voted against it, according to sources quoted by the Associated Press. The nine “were countries in southern Africa, except Swaziland”, said the source, who added that most of the debate was related to Western Sahara’s border.
Morocco, the only country in Africa that was not a member of the AU, left its predecessor, the Organisation of African Unity, in 1984 after a majority of the member states recognised the disputed territory of Western Sahara.
Chad’s foreign minister was elected on Monday as the new chairman of the African Union Commission, pledging to place development and security at the top of his agenda and streamline the organisation’s bureaucracy. Moussa Faki Mahamat – a former prime minister who has been at the forefront of the fight against Islamist militants in Nigeria, Mali and the Sahel – was chosen at the summit in Addis Ababa.

[Homeland Security Net] Benoît Hamon, the ’candidate of the Muslim Brotherhood,’ won the January 29 second round of the French Socialist Party primaries by a landslide 58.71 percent against former prime minister Manuel Valls, who gained 41.29%.
Hamon’s victory was met with an explosion of jubilation by French Islamists on their social media accounts.

If the Muslims cut down the trees along the roads, how will the Germans march in the shade?

A very clear general election then: on the left, surrender to the Muslim invasion and all that was laid out in that French novel and Tom Kratman's Caliphate vs. probably Marie le Pen's Israel-loving French nationalists. I anticipate a blow-out for the right.

"Submission: A Novel" by Michel Houellebecq
A good read. Disturbing and entertaining and quite topical.
African leaders have adopted a strategy calling for a collective withdrawal from the international criminal court. The non-binding decision came behind closed doors near the end of an African Union summit.
It was the latest expression of impatience by African leaders with the court, which some say has focused too narrowly on Africa while pursuing cases of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Late last year, South Africa, Burundi and the Gambia all announced plans to leave the court, leading to concerns that other states would follow.
Desire Assogbavi, head of Oxfam International’s liaison office to the summit, confirmed the adoption of the strategy. A source close to the continental body’s legal council also confirmed it, saying countries had been divided on whether to call for leaving the court individually or together.
The source said the majority of countries also wanted the meaning of immunity and impunity amended in the Rome Statute, the treaty that set up the court in 2002. The source spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to the press.
Some African countries have been especially critical of the ICC for pursuing heads of state.
And there's the problem...
Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir has been wanted by the court since 2009 for allegedly orchestrating atrocities in Darfur. The ICC also caused an uproar among some African nations by indicting Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta on charges of crimes against humanity for 2007 post-election violence in which more than 1,000 died. The case collapsed because of what the ICC prosecutor called lack of cooperation by Kenya’s government.

Suck to be EU. First Brexit, then Trump, now even Africans flee its kangaroo court ICC.
#2
A fully functional International Criminal Court is the wet dream of globalists everywhere.
They'd get to define what a crime is, what the punishments are and whom to target. Of course the sticking point is whose gun is enforcing said laws and capturing said criminals.

It would be intersting if Trump and Putin both dropped out (is Russia even a member?). I bet a lot of nations would follow suit.
Unfortunately the 'concept' of an international criminal court that did its job correctly is a good one and dropping out would easily be painted as dictatorial.
[Free Beacon] The federal government leases space from foreign owners that is used by various agencies to store sensitive information and conduct classified operations, raising concerns about potential security implications.
Office space used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Drug Enforcement Agency, Secret Service, and other agencies is leased by the government from companies based in foreign nations, according to a new audit from the Government Accountability Office assessing foreign ownership of "high-security space."
As of March 2016, the General Services Administration leased high-security space in at least 20 different buildings owned by companies based in China, Israel, Japan, South Korea, and other foreign nations.
"The 26 tenant agencies occupy about 3.3 million square feet at an annual cost of about $97 million and use the space, in some cases, for classified operations and to store law enforcement evidence and sensitive data," the report, a sensitive version of which was sent to Congress in November, states.
"Federal officials who assess foreign investments in the United States and some tenant agencies occupying high-security leased space told GAO that leasing space in foreign-owned buildings could present security risks such as espionage and unauthorized cyber and physical access."
The leased spaces included six different FBI field offices; three DEA field offices; and other offices used by the State Department, the Department of Defense's Army Corps of Engineers, the Social Security Administration, and various departments within the U.S. Treasury.
"Because the tenants include intelligence and law enforcement agencies, this high-security space is used, among other things, for classified operations and storage of weapons, law enforcement evidence, and sensitive data," GAO auditors wrote.
