The Chicago Tribune, in a June 25, 2014 editorial, asked the question: “Could you build a better school?” Indianapolis, IN. was noted for wishing to have its school district free to develop its own curriculum and, in essence, be totally run by those in the district, with no intervention from Federal or State governments. Last fall, the Tribune began seeking answers to several problems in society and now they are focusing on education. The following is an answer.   Continue reading “A Better Public School”

A U.S. Border Patrol academy in New Mexico will be used to house up to 700 adults with children who have crossed illegally into the United States, Fox News reported.

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson made the announcement before the House Committee on Homeland Security on June 24. He said the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center at Artesia would serve as a temporary holding facility where U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement can house illegals “in a humane manner” pending their expedited deportation.

In the heavily fracked Keystone State, the economic interests of frackers trump the health concerns of residents.

That much is abundantly clear in the wake of an extraordinary story by StateImpact Pennsylvania, which interviewed two retired state health department workers. The former workers say they were ordered to not return the phone calls of residents who complained that nearby fracking was harming their health. Instead, they were told to pass messages on to their superiors, who apparently never returned the calls either. The health workers were also given a list of fracking-related “buzzwords” to watch out for:

The Los Angeles Police Department, like many urban police forces today, is both heavily armed and thoroughly computerised. The Real-Time Analysis and Critical Response Division in downtown LA is its central processor. Rows of crime analysts and technologists sit before a wall covered in video screens stretching more than 10 metres wide. Multiple news broadcasts are playing simultaneously, and a real-time earthquake map is tracking the region’s seismic activity. Half-a-dozen security cameras are focused on the Hollywood sign, the city’s icon. In the centre of this video menagerie is an oversized satellite map showing some of the most recent arrests made across the city – a couple of burglaries, a few assaults, a shooting.   Continue reading “Predicting crime, LAPD-style”

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Tom Homan, the official overseeing Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s removal operations, said Wednesday it will take years for the unaccompanied minors streaming across the border to appear before an immigration judge.

In a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the tens of thousands of Central American unaccompanied minors Wednesday, committee chairman Bob Goodlatte pressed Homan on the idea that it will likely take years for the children and family unit members apprehended at the border to have their cases heard, noting that many likely will never be removed — even if they show up for their hearings — given the administration’s enforcement priorities.   Continue reading “ICE Removal Operations Director Confirms: Years Before Illegals Have Cases Heard”

Somewhere between reason and feeling exists another basic component of our humanness known as conscience. So important is this faculty of human existence-an individual’s conviction about the rightness or wrongness of their actions-that James Madison believed conscience should have been a permanent part of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights, even an unalienable right.

When Madison spoke to the First Congress he proposed 20 amendments for a Bill of Rights, not the ten that most people are accustomed to today. One important liberty that Madison wanted to protect from federal and state governments and abusive powers was conscience. According to Madison and in a pre-preamble to the constitution: “No state should violate the equal rights of conscience, …”(1)   Continue reading “Why Is Most Important Right Missing from U.S. Constitution?”

Ronnie Osburn was preparing to talk to National Review Online Thursday about lawlessness in his border community when his home was broken into.

Osburn, a rancher who lives just south of a Border Patrol checkpoint in Brooks County, Texas, says he stepped away for about 45 minutes, and when he returned somebody had trashed his house. The trespassers shattered his gun case, leaving a trail of blood throughout the house, but dropped the guns near the kitchen before scattering out the back door. They had searched through the house, opened drawers, and even left a heap of uncooked bacon in a frying pan on the stove.   Continue reading “Texas Ranchers Under Attack”

The Obama administration has released into the U.S. an untold number of immigrant families caught traveling illegally from Central America in recent months — and although the government knows how many it’s released, it won’t say publicly.

Senior U.S. officials directly familiar with the issue, including at the Homeland Security Department and White House, have so far dodged the answer on at least seven occasions over two weeks, alternately saying that they did not know the figure or didn’t have it immediately at hand. “We will get back to you,” the Homeland Security deputy secretary said Friday.   Continue reading “US Releases Immigrant Families, Won’t Say How Many”

Judge Beryl Howell, appointed to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by Obama in 2010, agreed with Denise Gilman, a clinical professor at the of Texas-Austin. Gilman, who is researching the “human rights impact” of border enforcement, sued in federal court to force the Department of Homeland Security to reveal through a FOIA request the names of property owners along the border to determine if fence construction will be disadvantageous to “minority property owners,” Judicial Watch reported last week.   Continue reading “Obama Judge Rules Border Fence Racist”

Now that the U.S. government has released parts of its We-Can-Kill-People-With-Drones memo, it’s hard to miss why it was kept secret until now.

Liberal professors and human rights groups and the United Nations were claiming an inability to know whether drone murders were legal or not because they hadn’t seen the memo that the White House said legalized them. Some may continue to claim that the redactions in the memo make judgment impossible.   Continue reading “So That’s Why They Kept the Drone Kill Memo Secret”

Moments after Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was elected the new majority leader, La Raza and other Hispanic and Asian ethnic groups demanded a vote on amnesty.

“The new Majority Leader can either schedule a House floor vote on workable immigration reform or he can kill the best chance in decades to fix the immigration system and miss a big opportunity to work with Latino, AAPI, and immigrant communities,” they said in a Wednesday statement. “Our communities and our country need a response now.”   Continue reading “La Raza Demands Amnesty Vote from New Maj.
