Democrat Sen. Amy Klobuchar sees the light, says no to abolishing ICE

Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat, took to ABC's "This Week" to tell the watching television audience that no, Immigration and Customs Enforcement should not be abolished and those who are calling for such ought to step to the back of the room and be quiet.

FILE - In this March 13, 2009 file photo, students protest the shooting of an unarmed Grand Valley State University student in the "Free Speech Zone" at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Mich. Some colleges provide so-called "free speech zones" as the only place where people can protest and distribute fliers. A student filed a federal lawsuit on Tuesday, March 28, 2017, against Los Angeles Pierce College, charging the community college violated his First Amendment rights in November 2016 when campus officials barred him from passing out copies of the U.S. Constitution because he wasn't in the free speech zone and because he hadn't applied to use it.

The thin line between denouncing speech and regulating it

A lot's been said in recent times about the dangers of fiery rhetoric, and how extreme expressions can fuel aggression and violence, leading to injuries and even death. But let's take a time-out and think where all this talk could lead. This is a tale of caution, particularly for conservatives, the keepers of the constitutional gate. Published June 30, 2018

Jarrod Warren Ramos Twitter-harassed journalists for years, escaping censorship

Jarrod Warren Ramos reportedly ranted for years on Twitter against the staff of The Capital Gazette, sending out angry tweets, vicious messages with threatening undertones. So here's a question for the social media site that goes out of its way to boot conservatives: Why wasn't this guy similarly censored? Published June 29, 2018

Border hypocrisies of the left

Attorney General Jeff Sessions called out critics of President Donald Trump's "zero tolerance" border policy on illegals as hypocrites, saying these same people who want to open America's doors wide are also going home, hunkering down and resting comfortably in their gated, walled and even armed-guarded communities. Bing. Go. Published June 28, 2018

Hillary Clinton gets pity party for Rick Lazio, but Elaine Chao? Left to fend

Remember when Hillary Clinton and all her supporters cried foul when her U.S. Senate foe, Rick Lazio, dared to cross the stage to confront her at her podium? Too bad the left won't cry the same foul when it's Elaine Chao, fighting off a horde of angry male anti-President Donald Trumpers. Published June 27, 2018

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s socialism makes her enemy of America

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a card-carrying member of the Democratic Socialists of America -- a socialist -- and she just won a congressional primary in New York City. Ocasio-Cortez is by socialist nature an enemy of the American way of life. Published June 27, 2018

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., speaks with reporters in advance of votes on two broad immigration bills, deriding the Republican immigration legislation as a "compromise with the devil," at the Capitol in Washington, Thursday, June 21, 2018. The Democratic leader says the bills make House Republicans "complicit" in President Donald Trump's "zero tolerance" policy that has resulted in more than 2,000 children being separated from their parents at the border.

The biblical case for closed borders

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has taken a huge public relations hit for daring to quote scripture while explaining why borders should be secure, even if it means separating children from the adults who've carted them into the nation illegally in the first place. But let's get this straight, and straight-away: Borders are indeed biblical. Published June 23, 2018

Michael Bloomberg, man of few principles, vows $80 million for Democrats

Democrats don’t cry for U.S. citizens — or aborted babies

The left has certainly been crying their share of tears over the border kids who've been pulled from their illegally crossing parents' sides -- in fact, almost as many tears as the little kids themselves. Who knows. Maybe they really are that sad. Published June 21, 2018
