Military to Defend Border Against Assault

The White House announced on Tuesday that U.S. troops stationed along the United States-Mexico border have just been authorized to come to the aid of U.S. Border Patrol Agents if they should come under attack by illegal migrants attempting to force their way through the fortified border. The President’s decree came only days after the President witnessed a mob of Hondurans and other Central American migrants attempting to overpower Mexican police dressed in riot gear trying to hold the line in the border town of Tijuana over the weekend. In…

A Gee whiz … at cooking

This is not the biggest story in America – but it is part of one. It is a very local story, but one that says a lot of what is going wrong in America. The New China Restaurant William Gee grew up in the food service business in the Chicago suburb of Fox River Grove, Illinois. His parents opened the New China Restaurant in 1974. It immediately became one of the most popular eateries in town. Through the years, countless numbers of the communities’ young people worked at the New…

Are Liberals the Cause of WildFires?

The massive outbreak of raging wildfires in California drew a series of eye-opening tweets from President Trump criticizing state officials about their environmental regulations and water management policies. Experts have now gone on record declaring that the California wildfires currently raging across the state are the worst ever recorded in California. The President’s criticism of California’s progressive policies began long before this series of wildfires, back several months ago, with several tweets warning state officials to take aggressive actions in combating fires. “California wildfires are being magnified & made so…

The (un)importance of a Freshman Congressman

That crashing sound you hear emanating from Washington early next year will be the visions, expectations and egos of the new freshman class of the 116th Congress. Having been part of the Washington political scene for  years, I have witnessed the arrival of several classes of these legislative newbies. They appear on the steps of Capitol filled with ambition and determination. Movies like “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” are on endless loop in the subcortex of their brains. Remember, they have just finished campaigns where they have made the most…

Trump Keeps Winning: US Manufacturing On the Rise

Despite a drop off in automobile manufacturing, total US manufacturing output rose for a 5th straight month in October. According to The Federal Reserve, manufacturing production rose 0.3 percent last month. According to Reuters, economists had predicted a rise of 0.2 percent for October. The figures were beyond expectations for October and suggest an underlying strength in US factory output, despite dips in auto production. Manufacturing Gains Offset Other Losses October’s rise in manufacturing production offset decreases in mining and utility output, leading to a 0.1 percent gain in industrial…

What is to become of Jeff Flake?

Outgoing Republican United States Senator Jeff Flake has made himself a national figure by being a bit of a maverick in the tradition of his Arizona colleague, the late John McCain. Unlike McCain, Flake will not ride out his political career to its final days in the Senate. Ironically, Flake first stepped out from the relative obscurity of being little more than one one-hundredth of the Senate membership when he announced his intention to step down from an expected bid for re-election. Flakes retirement from the upper chamber was not…

The True Cost of Illegal Immigration

A report conducted by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) estimates the cost of providing government benefits to illegal immigrants costs the American taxpayer $100 to $135 billion annually. The report released in September of 2017 also estimates the number of illegal immigrants currently in the U.S. at around 12.5 million people, plus another 4.2 million children of those illegal immigrants. The Federal Government pays approximately $50 billion, while both state and local governments pay the additional $89 billion annually. Those numbers were cited during a recent Trump rally…

Is Pelosi’s Speakership Threatened?

One of the subjects of extensive media coverage – although nothing near the time devoted to negative opinions about Trump – is the prospect of California Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi reclaiming her political perch as Speaker of the House.  The Democrat caucus will meet in a matter of days to elect its new leadership and the only question is how much “new” there will be in the new leadership.  Understandably, the most important question involves Pelosi. If there is a legitimate question regarding Pelosi’s future, there are two reasons.  The first…

The Women’s March Was Anti-Semetic

The Women’s March was anti-Semetic. In a great touch of irony – and another example of liberals destroying one another – the organizers of the identity politics charade for more government control have lost out on the esteemed ” Human Rights Award,” given out by the Freidrich Ebert Foundation. The group had been poised to win the award last evening, but then came the surprise announcement: Rather than winning the award, the foundation publicly rebuked the progressive feminist organization and their leader Linda Sarsour. One of the foundation’s umbrella organizations,…

Rashida Tlaib: The New Face of Socialism

The ubiquitous interviews with the newly elected Democrats have a disturbing similarity. Those invited before the cameras of CNN, MSNBC and the other left-leaning media outlets are the most radical and the most socialist of the congressional class of 2019. They are welcomed with obvious delight by their media interviewers – the kind of giddy excitement that one might bestow on the person who just kicked your team’s game-winning field goal. All those tough, in-your-face questions that the media management typically excuses as “journalists doing their job” are no longer…
