DACA Rejects Surge, as President Trump Considers Future of Obama Amnesty Program

When Obama signed his illegal DACA amnesty into pseudo-law, the recipients were characterized as young innocents who arrived in the US because of their parents. But that description has turned out to be a lie, as a recent tally shows 2139 DACA beneficiaries have lost their freebie status because of crimes committed or gang affiliation.

Africa: Robot Imports Threaten Jobs

We tend to think of automation-caused job loss to be a first world problem, but as the smart machines get cheaper, they are appearing in poor countries as well. Places like Africa, with its host of difficulties, do not have the resources to cope with worsening unemployment and angry residents. Results may range from social […]

Rasmussen Poll: Voters Are Divided over Media Involvement in Creating National Division

A couple of somewhat surprising clarifications occurred after the 2016 election of Donald Trump and a Republican congress. For one, the Republican legislators revealed themselves as completely feckless after failing to produce their years-long-promised elimination of ObamaCare.

Another was the apparent growth of influence from the media, which is supposed to report the news, not […]

NYTimes Spreads Soggy Sob Story

Unsurprisingly, the New York Times has its liberal gaze fixed upon illegal aliens in the path of Hurricane Harvey and their extra suffering due to their immigration status. Wednesday’s front page had a story on the subject, although not a complete shrieker with boo-hooey photos of “undocumented” misery — however the story was located beneath […]

Republican Governor Turns Illinois into a Sanctuary State

What good is having a Republican governor when he oversees the transformation of his state into a sanctuary zone that protect illegal alien criminals? That’s what happened on Monday when Gov. Bruce Rauner signed legislation that prevents local police from doing their jobs if the suspect is an illegal alien.

An additional sanctuary state is […]

Acapulco Falls from Tourist Mecca to Murder Capital

The Washington Post’s front page on Friday was a reminder of the crime catastrophe occurring next door in terms of drug cartels terrorizing Mexico. Acapulco has become the deadliest city in the country, which is quite a decline from its former standing as a top tourism town.

Acapulco used to be a glamorous vacation […]

San Francisco Supervisor Proposes Robot Tax

It’s interesting how Democrats on average seem more aware of how automation threatens the economic system of most of the world, and the resulting mass unemployment must be faced with planning. Perhaps it’s because the Ds are more comfortable with handing out cash (one suggested solution, namely Universal Basic Income), while Republicans see smart machines […]

Rasmussen Poll: Voters See Freedom of Speech Being Lost

The American people are not asleep regarding the newly discovered “sensitivity” in the nation regarding subjects that may be influenced by politically correct ideology as defined by the liberal media.

Nearly two-thirds of likely voters believe they need to be careful when speaking about “controversial” issues.

Just 28% Think Americans Have True Freedom of Speech […]

Rasmussen Poll: Voters Don’t Want Statues of Founders Removed

The weenie politicians who hide under their desks whenever antifa thugs and other lefties start tearing down pieces of American history need to look at this recent survey. You almost never see an 88 percent favorability on an issue, even mom and apple pie, but that’s the number favoring continued respect for founders Washington and […]

Mark Steyn: the Left Is Attempting to Equate Republicans with Nazis

A segment of Fox’s morning show on Sunday began with a picture of the recent Boston demonstrations. On the left side were a handful of people standing in favor of free speech; on the right in the photo was a mob of thousands of antifa thugs, probably rentals as was likely the case in Charlottesville.

Are Europe’s Leaders in Denial about Islamic Terror?

Following the jihad attack in Barcelona, Tucker Carlson and Nigel Farage discussed what is going on in Europe with topics like — has anything been learned from the years of jihad terror?

It seems not. Europe’s borders remain open, and hundreds of thousands of potential enemies have flowed in, including many young male muslims. The […]
