Many, many thanks to Caped Crusader for all of these wonderful posters:

Open thread — the illustrated edition
Not to make you feel less fortunate than I am or anything, but I won’t be blogging for a few hours today because I’m going to hear Daniel Hannan speak!! Even better, I’ll be going with Charles Martel. Yay! While I’m gone, please consider this an Open Thread. I can
Continue readingIs the House GOP leadership being blackmailed into voting for amnesty?
People are asking why, with a potentially successful midterm election coming, the GOP has decided to go forward with amnesty, even though (a) only 3% of Americans care about the issue and (b) the base is strongly opposed to the GOP’s plan. On its face, this seems like an insane
Continue readingTrey Gowdy promises not to let Lucy Democrats hold the football
In my earlier post today, I said that, in the wake of the lies the Gang of Eight told, followed by the Senate’s passage of a 1,200 page immigration bill that will go a long way to destroying the American working class, the Republicans have tearfully promised never to be
Continue readingIn which I pretend to be Thomas Sowell and offer short takes on today’s headlines
I freely admit that I will never be as brilliant as Thomas Sowell, either in my analytical abilities or in my writing quality. That doesn’t mean, though, that I can’t borrow his technique of writing the occasional post that consists of one or two sentence thoughts about interesting subjects. So,
Continue readingThe Democrats’ attacks on free speech on their approach to the immigration bill demonstrate what good strategists they are.
Democrats are very organized. I’m not just talking about their ability to whip up a rally at a moment’s notice or to elect a President with the help of a substantial voter fraud and government chicanery. (I’m referring to the IRS scandal.) Those were just the visible signs of Democrat
Continue readingWhat it feels like being a conservative in the Republican party
With news that the Immigration “Reform” Act (which has the distinct potential to create a permanent Leftist voting bloc) is getting all sorts of approval from the Republican Party, JoshuaPundit’s post couldn’t be more timely.
Continue readingAn absolutely perfect matched set on Obama and the immigration debate
I was trolling the internet and I saw this headline for an article by Byron York (click on the image to go to the article): Good question, I thought to myself, saving the article in a new tab as one I intended to read later. Then, still in trolling mood,
Continue readingFound it on Facebook: This is not a rebuttal to illegal immigration
One of the strawmen that Progressives like to set up in the illegal immigration debate is to imply that those who oppose illegal immigrants ought to give up liking or using anything that came from somewhere other than America’s shores. This is a perfect example: Is it possible that all
Continue readingSheldon Adelson: Put aside social conservativism to reclaim America
I promise that this post will be about what Sheldon Adelson had to say in an interview with Alana Goodman of Commentary Magazine. Before I get there, though, I need to begin with a little story of my own. Readers of my newsletter know that I had lunch last week
Continue readingFound on Facebook
I thought I’d share with you some of the things my friends have posted on Facebook. First, a cartoon that’s obviously meant to support the Progressive open border policy, but that just as obviously proves the opposite: I understand that you’re supposed to read the cartoon to mean that, without
Continue readingJust as Obama vows to ignore federal law, the California State Bar vows to ignore state law
In ordinary times, criminals disregard the law. In the PC Obama era, however, elected officials and state government agencies don’t have much use for the law either. Take Obama, for example. Contrary to the original headlines regarding Obama’s newly discovered immigration rights, Obama’s recent announcement regarding illegal immigration isn’t an
Continue readingKing Obama’s executive fiat on illegal immigration — Open Thread
I assume that you all know by know that President Obama has issued an executive order granting amnesty to young illegal immigrants. It’s a clever move. Marco Rubio had already proposed something similar, so Obama can say that at least some smart Republicans are already on board with the idea.
Continue readingWhat does Europe’s coming collapse mean when it comes to the Muslim immigrants?
For years at this blog (and others) when we’ve written about Europe’s problems, we’ve focused primarily, not on the economy, but on those Muslim immigrants. One of the things that we talked about a lot was the fact that these same Muslim immigrants subsisted largely on public benefits. This little
Continue readingThe news out of England *UPDATED*
A few stories from England’s Daily Mail, all showing that the country is not in the best of health. Each of these stories highlights, not the horrible things individuals can do, because those crimes transcend national boundaries, but the way in which England has rendered itself unable to react in
