Last we heard from former Bush speechwriter-turned-Washington Post line columnist Michael Gerson, he was attacking Tea Party activists and yours truly for criticizing his old boss/mentor Karl Rove’s Christine O’Donnell-bashing. See: Rove aide: Kneel before The Architect, you puny website operators & Tea Party ingrates. Well, Rove’s Beltway water boy took to his WaPo perch […]

It ain’t over ’til it’s over, but the Eastern MSM is projecting that Soros mini-me John Hickenlooper will win the Colorado gubernatorial race. WaPo reporting with 10 percent of precincts in: Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper has won the Colorado governor’s race after a campaign in which the GOP nominee imploded and a third-party candidate made […]

Amen, amen, amen: “It is better to be an outsider than to compromise your principles.”

True diversity on campus.

Update 6pm Eastern. Much, much more at HA, plus video. Update 4:35pm Eastern. Tancredo tells Cavuto that Romney’s immigration plan is “viable, that he’ll stick with it, and that he has the best shot.” Update 3:10pm Eastern. A source tells me Tancredo has endorsed Romney. Still checking. Yep. More from the Des Moines Register: U.S. […]

Tom Tancredo’s retiring from the House at the end of the year, but not from public and political life. He was pressing for border security and immigration enforcement long before many of the fairweather GOP proponents and TV talking heads made it their ratings-friendly cause. I’ve had the privilege of speaking with him and beside […]

Tom Tancredo gets a surprising standing ovation.

Jihadists and hardline Hindus are burning Valentine’s Day cards to protest the West today. It’s an annual rite. Anti-Israel protesters are protesting V-Day flower sales in the UK. Kathleen Parker takes on Eve Ensler: Will you be my vagina-tine? NRO’s Valentine’s Day symposium asks a group of politics lovers who their one true is (or […]

Jim Hoft thinks there might be disruptions from the balcony. Brit Hume says Nancy Pelosi put on a new outfit for her historic moment at the last minute because she spilled chocolate on her suit. Madame Speaker Hang in there, Dick Everything’s already anticlimactic from here. The full SOTU text is up–and so is Democrat […]

Shutting down speech Well, I hope all you open-borders folks are proud of how your young acolytes in academia conduct themselves. They rushed the stage at Columbia University to shut down Minutemen Project co-founder Jim Gilchrist. They briefly disrupted MP co-founder Chris Simcox’s speech at Georgetown by pulling a fire alarm. And last night, they […]

I’m hanging it up for the night, er, morning. Unlike Michael Moore in 2004, however, I will not be staying in bed for three days in a catatonic state. I will not need PEST shock therapy. I will not move to Australia. A moonbat reader e-mailed a taunt earlier this evening: How’s it feel to […]

11pm EDT update: Video highlights of tonight’s O’Reilly Factor in which I try to make O’Reilly see the light here. 1030pm EDT update: The only good thing about watching the speech was getting to watch it in the Fox News green room with Colorado GOP Rep. Tom Tancredo, a stalwart immigration enforcement advocate. It was […]

Here we go again. President Bush is continuing the homeland security dog-and-pony charade in his quest to deliver a massive “guest worker”/amnesty plan to the open-borders lobby. A few weeks ago, Bush’s Department of Homeland Security put on a bogus performance of Get Tough Theater with a series of politically timed immigration raids…which, as I […]

Remind me again which party has the majority in the U.S. Senate? Via Reuters: Senate leaders on Thursday announced a bipartisan compromise on an overhaul of U.S. immigration laws, giving some illegal immigrants a path to citizenship and creating a temporary worker program. “I think we’re looking like we may be able to dance this […]

Summit’s over. Apparently, illegals are just “guests” we forgot to invite. This isn’t the first time the president’s played fast and loose with labels in the context of immigration, either. Michelle nailed him on it a year ago. Elsewhere at the summit, Vicente Fox displayed some cojones of his own. From the WaPo article linked […]

The president’s in Mexico today and tomorrow to deliver a stern message to Vicente Fox: we’re not going to stand for any more illegal immigrants … so we’ll have to call them “guest workers” instead. Tom Tancredo: “I wish he’d think about the party and of course I also wish he’d think about the country.” […]

***scroll for updates…Bush warns against stoking anti-immigrant feelings. Wants a “civil debate.” Video here…Ok. Tell that to the divisive militants below…*** As Mickey Kaus points out, the reporters at the Los Angeles Times (and all other major media, for that matter) have downplayed the radical ethnic separatism that characterized the pro-illegal immigration rallies over the […]

Paging the Department of Homeland Security. Hello? Hello?! *New* via the San Diego Union Tribune : Two tons of pot found inside Mexico-U.S. border tunnel Investigators discovered a sophisticated cross-border tunnel yesterday extending about a half-mile and found about 2 tons of marijuana on the Mexican end.

A serious, pro-enforcement measure on border security and immigration control has just passed the House. Three years after I published Invasion, many of the policy recommendations included in the book have been embraced: The House acted Friday to stem the tide of illegal immigration by taking steps to tighten border controls and stop unlawful immigrants […]

***updated 12/1 below*** The crescent is gone. AP reports: Designers of a Flight 93 memorial have made a bowl-shaped piece of land its centerpiece, replacing a crescent-shape design that some critics had said was a symbol honoring terrorists, officials announced Wednesday. The new design for the memorial, to be built on the site of the […]

Haven’t seen much coverage of the standoff over the weekend between US Border Patrol agents and armed Mexican bandits. The El Paso Times reports: A marijuana-laden dump truck got stuck in the Rio Grande on Thursday evening in Hudspeth County, leading to a standoff between U.S. law enforcement and what appeared to be the Mexican […]

My latest column, “Monumental surrender,” on the Flight 93 Memorial controversy, bubbling in the blogosphere for nearly a week, is up: War memorials should memorialize war. If you want peace and understanding and healing and good will toward all, go build Kabbalah centers… …A proper war memorial stirs to anger and action. We all remember […]
