The progressive industrial complex, by its nature, looks for ways to justify non-productive use of tax dollars. It justifies the creation of institutions (agencies) staffed with people on a taxpayer payroll whose primary interest is almost always keeping their jobs. And what better way than inventing rights you are then obligated to protect. That’s the … Read more

With the help of dozens of Republicans and the grudging acceptance of progressive Democrats, the House on Thursday removed ICE from the police-masking bill (S.208).
