Good chat with Univ of TN professor Morgan Marietta on @MorningAnswer as to why a proper reading of the 14th Amendment's "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" clause should cause SCOTUS to end birthright citizenship and why that's unlikely to happen. https://t.co/5C6BXHEz7W

Constitutional scholar Morgan Marietta explains why the 14th Amendment may not say what many assume—and why the Court’s ruling could hinge on judicial courage.

Tiny Dancer like the Aussie e-Safety commissar who authored the social media ban (and carve outs) wants to do it for the children. The motivations of politicians and their functionaries are always and only altruistic. This response is proportional to the danger? The perils,

Crime isn't down in Chicago. Chaos is more prevalent. Pritzker's SAFE-T Act/turnstile-legislation-for-repeat-violent-offenders should be repealed. My @MorningAnswer chat with former Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson. https://t.co/4gfQLiECh3

Very good critique here which challenges the notion, as articulated by Jamie Dimon over the weekend, that there still exists such things as "common values" between America and Western Europe. Dimon argued, we need to help make Europe strong again. I agree with the desire but

While the Left is assiduously attempting to label him a "war criminal" (and relabel him a "racist" for good measure) for striking narco boats, Trump brokered a peace deal between two warring African nations and earned praise from a Nobel-Peace-Prize-winning Venezuelan dissident.

I wouldn't have thought the debate over a corporate head tax would generate tears, but BLM Brandon is a sensitive soul. It is enjoyable to watch BJ shame his fellow travelers with sentimental blather the way they do collectively against conservatives as a matter of course on

A reminder that just because they're not on the streets chanting "pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon" doesn't mean the police defunders have changed. JB, BJ & Co.--and CRR is part of that company--have no more respect for Chicago Police than they do ICE. They can get away

'He has a point, but he's too blunt.' From the start, a key tactic of the gender identitarians has been linguistic prescription, and it's proved shockingly successful. Trans activists' shibboleths and euphemisms have been allowed to penetrate the upper echelons of our culture
