Thomas Sowell: Immigration Excuses

A betrayal by elected officials.     One of the most lame excuses for doing nothing is that we can't do everything. Such excuses have been repeated endlessly, even by some conservatives, when it comes to illegal immigration.

Random Thoughts On The Passing Scene

by Thomas Sowell.     Stupid people can cause problems, but it usually takes brilliant people to create a real catastrophe. President Obama's "agreement" with Iran looks very much like "the emperor's new clothes."

Jeb Argues Persuasively Why He Shouldn't Be Nominated

from American Thinker.         Jeb Bush really wowed me with his announcement speech for President. For one thing, it was in English, and I didn't even have to press one to hear it that way.  For another, Bush made a strong, passionate argument explaining why he should not be the nominee of the Republican Party, and I for one was totally   ...

Andrew Napolitano: A Lone Wolf President

Can the president rewrite federal laws?      Can he alter their meaning? Can he change their effect?

The Sad, Sick Story Of Immigration In America

by Barry Farber.   “Send the manager over,” stormed the patron in the coffee shop. “How may I help you?” asked the manager. “This is the worst vanilla ice cream I’ve ever had,” the patron complained. “That’s not vanilla,” the manager explained. “That’s butter pecan.” “Oh,” said the patron, suddenly brightening. “For butter pecan it’s great!”  ...
