  • Review And Revise

    Whatever opposition I’ve had to deportation of illegal immigrants is waning fast: I’ll work my ass off for the first Presidential candidate to promise to deport aliens who are actively hostile to everything this country stands for. I said “actively”. And if the people in this mob are citizens? Deport whatever immigration official or politician…

  • Pony Up

    Remember when Ron DeSantis sent fifty migrants to posh, leafy Martha’s Vineyard? And the American left wrenched their shoulders out of socket patting themselves on the back by feeding them before having the hired help bus them to a nearby military base? Maybe it’s time for some of them to start ponying up. Yuma, Arizona’s…

  • Counterprogramming

    How do you upstage a 900 pound gorilla? By upping the ante on the gorilla’s battle: And now there are two serious GOP candidates for President other than Trump.

  • Institutional Leftist Logic

    Fences are useless, until they are mandatory.

  • Urban Progressive Privilege: Their Own Dog Food

    Governors Abbot (TX) and DeSantis (FL) sendig illegal immigrants to New York, DC and – major kudos to DeSantis here – the epicenter of Urban Progressive Privilege, Martha’s Freaking Vineyard. The Vineyardians are not amused: The bleating of the likes of Fernandes (to say nothing of NYC Mayor Adams and DC Mayor Bowser) is pure…

  • A Little Good-Ish News, If You Consider “Courts Supporting Common Sense” To Be Good News

    Joe Doakes from Como Park emails about yesterday‘s New York Supreme Court ruling: The New York State Supreme Court struck down a New York City ordinance allowing non-citizens to vote in local elections. What a bunch of haters. The Boston Tea Party was based on “no taxation without representation.” The Declaration of Independence affirms that…

  • Dismantle

    Not only is it time for the US to leave the UN and cut off all our funding to it, but we need to dismantle the building and recycle the material, preferably into new guns to distribute to deserving Americans. UN distributes cash and sob stories to “migrants” seeking asylum: In one, the U.N. was…

  • Third Amendment

    Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: The Lesko Brandon administration has a new idea: private sponsors. The State Department announced that individuals can sponsor people evacuated from Afghanistan during the rout. The evacuees are currently held in military installation waiting to be re-homed in America. It costs less than $2,500 but the sponsor must also…

  • Remember When

    Watching the footage from the border – with 15,000 people flooding a Texas town of 30,000 – I saw the media was on the job about the “humanitarian crisis“ along the Rio Grande. Well, two years ago, anyway. To be fair, that was about the last time “progressives“ cared about it, either.

  • Nothing To See Here

    Scott Johnson of Powerline reports on last week’s grisly beheading in Shakopee. Freaking Shakopee. And…freaking reporting – something nobody else in the Twin Cities media will do on this case, since it impugns the Administration’s immigration non-policy. Read the whole thing. Let the rage build for mid-terms.

  • Ripped From The Headlines

    Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Geez, Louise.    Indeed.

  • Oh, The Changes Slow Joe Has Wrought

    I’m old enough to remember when AOC… …referred to “influx facilities” as “concentration camps”.

  • Surprising Nobody

    Migrants waiting in Mexico to get into the United States are thrilled that Joe Biden is now President.   Two more migrant caravans are on the way. Their optimism is based on news reports that President Biden will issue executive orders affecting immigration. Maybe if I brush up my Rosetta Stone Spanish, I can get some yard work done…

  • Frequently Asked Question

    Q: “Mitch – you said during the campaign that Biden – and, indeed, all Democrats – were campaigning on messages that couldn’t possibly be true, but that it didn’t matter, because people susceptible to voting Democrat are gullible herd animals with no critical thinking skills who vote based on knee-jerk emotion and reaction to chanting…

  • Deplorablx

    So why did Latinos vote for Trump in record numbers? Because they’re a bunch of bitter Jesus Freaks, according to the guy who made “bigger Jebus freaks” a political class and social identity group: .@BarackObama: “There’s a lot of evangelical Hispanics who…the fact that Trump says racist things about Mexicans, or puts detainees— undocumented workers—…

  • Lifeboat

    A lifeboat floating in the ocean has a limited carrying capacity.  Thismany people – we all survive; add one more – the lifeboat sinks and weall die.  And if somebody in the lifeboat is actively trying to chop ahole in the bottom of the boat, we throw her out to save our own necks. What’s…

  • My Own Private Caracas

    I heard this – or a piece just like it, and which may well have been a rerun – on NPR on Sunday afternoon – explaining Bernie Sanders’ putative popularity among young latinos.  And I found it pretty much chilling, to be honest.   The Sanders campaign is pitching its candidate  as Tio Bernie – “Uncle…

  • Barely-Rhetorical Questions

    Hey, Mitch – why are Democrats and Big Left pushing to scrap the Electoral College and make the Senate a popularly-elected body?   Oh, why do you think?

  • ICE, ICE Baby

    You can’t eliminate supply until you eliminate demand; otherwise, somebody is always willing to meet the demand – we learned that in Prohibition, and the War on Drugs.  If restaurant managers create the demand for illegal aliens, we need to educate restaurant managers not to do that.  And by “educate,” I mean “learn to make…

  • Just So I Get This Straight

    Using law enforcement and the federal bureaucracy to “target” immigrants who are breaking multiple levers of the law (not just being here illegally, but defying deportation orders) is a bad thing… … while targeting tea party members is just no big deal?

  • Unquestionable

    Big fight over whether the Trump Administration can ask census respondents about their citizenship. The census is used to determine who gets seats in the House of Representatives. So the real issue becomes who are we counting them for?If the House of Representatives is supposed to represent the citizens living in a district, then we…

    SCENE: Mitch BERG is taking a walk through a local winery, when he notices Avery LIBRELLE trying to open the tap at the bottom. He tries to reverse course, but LIBRELLE, as always, notices him. LIBRELLE: Merg! You’re a racist misogynist! BERG: Uh, OK. Why now? LIBRELLE: On, no reason. It’s just my new greeting.…

  • Heads We Come Here, Tails We Move Here

    Last week, I was listening to NPR. I know, I know. Worth with me, here. I can’t find it online – I didn’t try all that hard, but then I suspect it’s not the only piece like this. that’s going to turn up if you look hard enough. An earnest-sounding SEIU leader – y’know, a…
