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. The crucial difference is the civil rights protestors of yore were trying to demand federal law, while

God knows I don’t want to be a noodge about it, but as long as the Inquirer keeps up its pro-illegal push, I feel obligated to respond to it, because no other mainstream media will. And, yes, this blog is mainstream, centrist, with a simple Operating System (as the

Mayor Cherelle Parker has a very loud voice, but not loud enough for some with very special interests.

People — poor people mostly — are desperate to get to America. So desperate they will lie and distort the law to achieve sanctuary here. I don’t blame them for wanting to come here. I do blame them for subverting our law — whether they crash the border and run for the

Let’s talk about lies, and where some lead. “There are three types of lies,” said Benjamin Disraeli, “lies, damn lies, and statistics.” I disagree, at least as far as the media is concerned. I think there are black lies, white lies and casual lies, the last being the most
