    November’s Stark Choice: 2 Visions for Justice and the Rule of Law
    Summary Democrats, suffering from denial and delusion, tend to think of themselves as the guardians of the rule of law. Back in reality, nothing could be further from the case. Consider Rep.

    The Trump administration’s ongoing fraud probe into the refugee and U.S. citizenship approvals of Somali-born Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., carries much more importance than many Americans realize as this political theater unfolds.  The Omar affair highlights an underlying homeland security problem about the other 150,000 Somali refugees let in before President Donald Trump mostly closed…

    Breaking Down the Ilhan Omar Investigation

They’ve been lecturing us for years that “no one is above the law.”  So, what happens if a federal investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., provides incontrovertible evidence that she obtained citizenship by…
