Insights derived from wisdom. The great boxing champion Joe Louis once said about one of his opponents, who was known for his speed: "He can run but he can't hide." In the Congressional elections this year, many Democrats are running away from Barack Obama, but they can't hide their record of voting for Obama's agenda more than 90 percent ... MORE

Thomas Sowell: Random Thoughts On The Passing Scene
Insights derived from wisdom. The great boxing champion Joe Louis once said about one of his opponents, who was known for his speed: "He can run but he can't hide." In the Congressional elections this year, many Democrats are running away from Barack Obama, but they can't hide their record of voting for Obama's agenda more than 90 percent ... MORECalifornia Governor Approves Benefits For Illegal Aliens
by Jonah Bennett. Pass Go and collect $200. Thanks to Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown, millions of dollars of aid
will now be available to California’s illegal immigrants, in order to
help them navigate the complexities of the legal system, the Washington Post reports. Illegal immigrants have been streaming across the the southern U.S. ... MOREThomas Sowell: Random Thoughts On The Passing Scene
Musings of a genius. What a non-judgmental society amounts to is that common decency is optional — which means that decency is likely to become less common. The biggest issue in this fall's election is whether the Obama administration will end when Barack Obama leaves the White House or whether it will continue on, by appointing federal ... MOREJohn Stossel: Immigration Is America
Guess who built this country? Conservatives rightly point out that America is a nation of laws. No one should be exempt. That's why many oppose amnesty and other paths to citizenship for illegal immigrants who are here now. "If they want to be in America," the argument goes, "they ought to return to their own countries and apply for a visa ... MOREThomas Sowell: Random Thoughts On The Passing Scene
Observations of a wise man. I don't know why we are spending our hard-earned money paying taxes to support a criminal justice system, when issues of guilt and innocence are being determined on television — and even punishment is being meted out by CNN's showing the home and address of the policeman accused in the Ferguson, Missouri ...

Americans Recognize Government Is Our Biggest Problem
by Rich Moran. It is about time! One more sign that liberals are going to get spanked in November. A new Gallup poll shows that more Americans think government is the biggest problem in the country than any other issue. Washington Times: Americans say government, the economy and immigration are the top three problems facing ... MOREWalter E Williams: Get Ready For Denials
Terrorists are invited in through the back door. Fox News correspondent Geraldo Rivera accused Matt Drudge's website
of "the worst kind of jingoistic rhetoric ever" for carrying news
stories about the dangers of illegal immigration. He said Drudge "is
doing his best to stir up a civil war. I mean, shame on Matt Drudge."
Republican Rep. ... MORECountry Moves Toward GOP On Every Significant Issue
New AP poll reveals verdict on hope and change. Although you wouldn’t know it from the lack of media coverage, or even the AP's own write-up of the poll (which gives new meaning to the phrase "buried lead"), a new Associated Press-GfK poll offers nothing but harrowing news for Democrats and the media who love them. Buried in the "pox ... MOREBrian Fung: Think The Supreme Court Protected Your Cellphone From Warrantless Searches? Think Again.
It was supposed to be a simple day trip to Niagara Falls. Little did he know the visit might land him in prison for the next 100 years. Ali Saboonchi was returning from the Canadian side of the falls with his wife in 2012 when he was detained by customs agents at the U.S. border. The agents eventually let the Maryland man go, but not ... MOREJacob Sullum: Drug War Refugees
The children are fleeing prohibition-related violence. As thousands of children fleeing violence in Central America
seek refuge in the United States, some commentators are blaming
American drug users. "If there weren't a lot of Americans seeking
marijuana and heroin and cocaine,"
says former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, "there ... MOREThomas 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 ... MORE
