The Democrat Party's unflinching support for agenda items most Americans lacking Art History degrees from expensive Eastern colleges consider ludicrous is infuriating. When Biden made good on his promise to nominate a Black woman to the Supreme Court, lucky DEI pick Ketanji Brown Jackson feigned ignorance about her own gender. Americans watching the hearing were in on the scam, … [Read more...] about This Word Kills. Democrats Don’t Know What It Means.
Homeland Security
From border security to domestic extremism to keeping the skies safe for travelers, the Department of Homeland Security is tasked with guarding our gates and the American way of life. Does the agency see to domestic security based on our country’s needs, or what best serves the goals of the party in the White House?
There was a lot of strong talk after September 11 about securing the homeland. Now we have Park 51, the Ground Zero mosque, open for business just a short distance from the site of the Islamic terrorist attacks. Over a decade after 9/11 we still have problems identifying who is attending our flight schools and more states are handing out driver’s licenses to foreign nationals. The Southwest Border seems less secure than ever as children from Central America strain the Border Patrol’s resources and inflame state and local governments forced to deal with the problem. ICE agents have perhaps the worst job of all within the agency as they try to enforce laws that have become so unpopular that the word from the top is ignore them whenever possible.
Should domestic security be a partisan pursuit? After Janet Napolitano’s departure, new DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson is continuing the tradition of lip synching for the president and Democratic Party leaders.
Civil Candor’s Homeland Security category focuses on the discord between the agency’s job of protecting Americans and its increasingly larger role of backing White House policy. When the two tasks come into conflict, who wins and who loses?
What Does un-American Mean? Democrats Don’t Know. We Do.
Whether you call it a Big, Ugly Bill or an un-American threat to the common good, if you are a Democrat you are chest-beating, pants soiling livid about what President Trump and the GOP pulled off last week. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) labeled the BBB a “tax bill,” which is true. It stops the massive transfer of wealth Democrats have been panting over since the 2017 Tax Cuts … [Read more...] about What Does un-American Mean? Democrats Don’t Know. We Do.
Domestic Terrorists Help Democrats Shape Their Future
Have you had the conversation about what will happen if Trump wins in November? It goes like this: protesters will burn America to the ground if Biden loses. If he wins, they will loot and burn America in celebration and no one will do anything to stop them. Sound familiar? The threat of repeating the post-George Floyd mayhem on an even larger scale and the fear it … [Read more...] about Domestic Terrorists Help Democrats Shape Their Future
Technology for Border Surveillance Solves Wrong Problem
North Korea doesn’t have a border problem. People may sneak out, but they don’t try to get in. We have the opposite problem, but a new Government Accountability Office report on technology for border surveillance shows it’s not the one we are solving. Using technology is a great idea, but we only need it because of the mistakes we’re making everywhere else. New DHS report … [Read more...] about Technology for Border Surveillance Solves Wrong Problem
Declined Detainer Report: Public Safety Meets Defiance
By now many of us know what a declined detainer is, but how you define what it means depends on how you feel about law enforcement. Democrats might say that a declined detainer is how cities prevent federal authorities from persecuting immigrants. Republicans would more likely call it a dangerous sanctuary city policy of letting the bad guys go before ICE can nab them. Either … [Read more...] about Declined Detainer Report: Public Safety Meets Defiance
