New Hampshire lawmakers have passed legislation that will prohibit cities from adopting policies that signal they are sanctuary destinations for illegal immigrants. Such “sanctuary cities,” which proclaim they will not prosecute illegals or cooperate with federal agents who do, are popular in New England, sometimes attracting the wrong kind of tourist. New Hampshire’s partisan victory … Read more
The recent matter of white South African refugees waving American flags upon their arrival in the United States has more triggers than a gun store. Lefties are losing what passes for their hive mind. And I can’t help but wonder if Mr. Trump and his crew did not orchestrate this process to allow Dems to … Read more

Democrats are pissed. I know, what’s new? Mad is what they do. And you’ll have heard the tall tale about the evil Trump administration deporting children. CHILDREN, Damn You!. How could they? Well, as a starting point, Democrats don’t actually give a damn about children. When Obama put them in cages, they blamed Trump. When … Read more

A recent J.P. Morgan Report that undocumented immigrants may be ramping up US housing demand dovetails ironically with claims in “sanctuary states” that more illegal immigrants are necessary to construct more houses. This dragon-eating-its-tail spiral of higher living costs is particularly evident in rural Vermont, which faces one of the nation’s toughest housing crunches even as progressives … Read more
We’ve been writing for years about how Democrats and their bureaucracy use the government to break things they then insist they need more government to fix. Once you accept this, a light shines upon you from heaven, and you can see the institutional and systemic abuse. Taxpayers are just slaves whose earnings are the batteries … Read more

Take a look at this chart in which Denmark and the Netherlands economies were studied: My quick take is that those from more Western societies are a net plus compared to those from Africa and the … Read more
Who let this go through on something as basic as the US Constitution? “Can birthright citizenship be repealed? Breaking down Trump’s proposal.”It looks like another anti-Trump dig, poke, and scree. How dare you make these little children “stateless,” never mentioning their mothers for putting them in such legal jeopardy. And so much for “objective” reporting. … Read more
The debate over immigration is working out perfectly for the deep state. Donald Trump is calling on the CIA and the FBI to “get involved” in domestic policing. At the same time, MAGA conservatives are begging the US government to impose a vast new surveillance state on Americans in the name of stopping illegal aliens. For at … Read more
I have been a high-tech worker since I taught myself programming back in the 1970’s after building a computer kit in the Navy. At that time, I was an electronics technician, maintaining and repairing communications and radar systems aboard ship. After reading articles in magazines about “microcomputers”, I decided to purchase one and see what … Read more
Of the many apple carts Donald Trump has tipped in the gathering whirlwind of planned initiatives for his second term, few have garnered the critical cacophony spurred by his promise to end birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to undocumented entrants.
