Sanctuary Cities
A test: Do you actually believe no one is above the law?
Illegals are not just “brown people.” They come from all around the world, including from nations that wish to harm us.
Iran
The outcome will determine the wisdom of attacking Iran
If it pressures Iran into making a genuine move away from nuclear ambitions, it was wise. If it spreads war, it was dumb.

Immigration
Sanctuary cities plan to defy immigration law, still
I see a strange, unlikely parallel between the promise of churches to resist deportation of “migrants” (correct term, illegal residents) and the action of churches 60 years ago to protect civil rights protestors.

Washington Post caught in its own mousetrap
This is an example of the press putting its thumb on the scale. This photo shows a Washington Post story as carried in the Philadelphia Inquirer. The story is what’s called a sidebar, or an auxiliary story that supports the main story, which was Donald J. Trump’s campaign
