    Don’t Let Liberals End Opinion Diversity Under Cover of ‘Fake News’ Campaign
    The issue of fake news is very much in the news, as it were, and President Donald Trump is being compared to Stalin for his dismissal of journalists who are purveyors of it as “enemies of the American people.” It may be good to jog our memory back to how the term “fake news” arrived…

    Unmoved by Terror Attack, Congress Is Doing Nothing to Scrap the Diversity Visa Lottery
    Capitol Hill’s national security priorities are screwier than a Six Flags roller coaster. Instead of immediately shutting down one of America’s stupidest visa programs, which helped bring us yet another murder-minded jihadist this week, bipartisan Beltway politicians are pushing to preserve and expand the illegal immigration pipeline.

    The Diversity Visa Is Bad, but the Real Problem Is Homegrown Terrorism
    In the several days after Tuesday’s terror attack in New York City, much political debate has centered on the Diversity Visa Lottery Program, which the terrorist used to enter the U.S. seven years ago.
