Important new website (finally) with searchable database of ICE apprehensions. As you scroll through the hundreds of profiles in Illinois (like those featured below), remember one thing: JB & BJ and the entire IL Dem Socialist political power structure opposed and impeded to

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 Pritzker's SAFE-T Act/turnstile-legislation-for-repeat-violent-offenders should be repealed.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

Former Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson did not mince words on Chicago’s Morning Answer when asked whether Illinois’ controversial Safety Act should remain on the books. “I think it’s...

It's an annual tradition on par with "It's a Wonderful Life." The @MorningAnswer playing of this classic spoof--though the writing and acting here are superior to the real thing--of every Hallmark channel movie so you can share with those in your family susceptible to the

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
🇪🇺 THE EU ISN’T A DEMOCRACY - IT’S A BUREAUCRATIC COUP IN SLOW MOTION They tell you to vote. They give you a shiny ballot for the European Parliament and call it “democracy.” But here’s the truth Brussels doesn’t want you to know: your vote doesn’t control anything that

The remarkable thing about this feat is it still couldn't make soccer interesting.
NEW: Man claims to have set a new world record by becoming the first person to hold a soccer match 5900 feet above the ground from a hot air balloon. The group was seen playing soccer while an airplane circled around them. "We set a new world record. The world's first hot air

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

So intellectually incapacitated are the majority of Cook County voters that arguing something as prosaic as electronic monitoring is not a proxy for pretrial detention is received as a bold statement in furtherance of enhanced public safety. But Cook County SA Eileen O'Neill

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
For those who are unconvinced of Chicago Park District Superintendent Carlos Ramirez Rosa's contempt for Chicago Police, let this account erase any doubt. Carlos Ramirez Rosa is scum. Nearly 7 years ago, Chicago Police Officers Eduardo Marmolejo and Conrad Gary were killed when

Great riff within the riff: "Time and again, I've seen and heard well-educated people who consider themselves critical thinkers and bold truth-tellers squirm when put on the spot. 'Well, yes, maybe there's something in what you're saying, but it's hateful/provocative/rude not to
'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

Good observations on vetting for combat versus for citizenship and on how feelings of betrayal can open the door to radicalization from Marine vet @ChadRobo, who served in Afghanistan and helped his Afghan translator get to the US. Informed perspectives from guys on the ground
