Looking before we leap is not racism. In a recent confrontation between protesters against the illegal flood of unaccompanied children into the United States and counter-protests by some Hispanic group, one man from the latter group said angrily, "We are as good as you are!" One of the things that make the history of clashes over race or ... MORE

Thomas Sowell: Bordering On Madness
Looking before we leap is not racism. In a recent confrontation between protesters against the illegal flood of unaccompanied children into the United States and counter-protests by some Hispanic group, one man from the latter group said angrily, "We are as good as you are!" One of the things that make the history of clashes over race or ... MORESean Trende: What Cantor's Loss and Graham's Win Mean
Lessons to be learned. Eric Cantor's loss in the Republican primary Tuesday night sent shockwaves through the establishments of both parties. The previously dominant "Tea Party is dead" narrative has been unceremoniously dumped. Some in the media seem to be pursuing two new storylines: “Support for immigration reform dooms ... MORE
Tea Party Upstart Sends House Majority Leader Packing
The winds of change begin to blow. The Tea Party should plaster photos of Mark Twain all over their homes. "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated," Twain said after two erroneous obituaries. Far more death notices were filed in the past year about the Tea Party — before Tuesday night brought one of the more stunning election ... MOREThomas Sowell: Random Thoughts On The Passing Scene
Exquisite observations from a national treasure. Will the Veterans Administration scandal wake up those people who have been blithely saying that what we need is a "single payer" system for medical care? Delays in getting to see a doctor have been a common denominator in government-run medical systems in England, Canada and ... MOREVIDEO: Can Americans Pass The Citizenship Test?
The great dumbing down seems to have worked. Nice job, public school!
68,000 Criminal Illegal Aliens Caught And Released
by Stephen Dinan. Immigration agents tried to deport only about a fourth of the cases they encountered in 2013, said a report being released Monday from the Center for Immigration Studies that shows just how much President Obama’s policies have cut down on potential enforcement. Jessica Vaughan, the report’s author, called it a ... MOREThomas Sowell: A Tiger Of A Book
Keeping the welfare state from destroying America. Professor Amy Chua of the Yale law school is better known as a "Tiger Mom" because of her take-no-prisoners, tough love approach to raising children. She and her husband Jed Rubenfeld (a fellow Yale law professor) have written what may turn out to be the best book of this year. It is titled ... MOREThomas Sowell: Republicans To The Rescue?
Maybe national Republicans should stand for something. Some supporters of President Obama may be worried about how he and the Democrats are going to fare politically, as the problems of ObamaCare continue to escalate, and it looks like the Republicans have a chance to win a majority in the Senate. But Democrats may not need to ... MOREVictor Davis Hanson: The Politicization Of Everything
The ceaseless hunt for victims and oppressors. The Obama presidency has had very little legislative success. Even the signature Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is imploding, and was dubbed a “train wreck” by one of its own Senatorial authors. The lead-from-behind retrenchment abroad from America’s traditional leadership ... MOREWalter E Williams: Loving And Hating America
Check with those voting with their feet. As I've documented in the past, many leftist teachers teach our youngsters to hate our country. For example, University of Hawaii Professor Haunani-Kay Trask counseled her students, "We need to think very, very clearly about who the enemy is. The enemy is the United States of America and everyone who ... MOREThomas Sowell: Race-Hustling Results
Scoring the racial grievance industry. Years ago, someone said that, according to the laws of aerodynamics, bumblebees cannot fly. But the bumblebees, not knowing the laws of aerodynamics, go ahead and fly anyway. Something like that happens among people. There have been many ponderous academic writings and dour editorials in the ... MORESteve Chapman: Obama And The Misery Of A Second Term
"All glory is fleeting." Everyone elected president comes into office modeling himself on some predecessor: Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan. But those who win re-election eventually end up wondering whether they should have emulated James K. Polk instead. Why? Because he promised to serve only one term, and he stuck ... MORESupreme Court Frees 2,837 Convicted Alien Sex Offenders
by Alissa Tabirian. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has released 2,837 convicted criminal alien sex offenders back into American communities in order to comply with a Supreme Court decision authored by Clinton-appointed Justice Stephen Breyer, according to a new report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). The 2,837 sex ... MORECiting ObamaCare, 40,000 Longshoremen Quit AFL-CIO
by Warner Todd Huston. In what is being reported as a surprise move, the 40,000 members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) announced that they have formally ended their association with the AFL-CIO, one of the nation's largest private sector unions. The Longshoremen citied Obamacare and immigration reform as two ... MORE
