Random thoughts on the passing scene:
Stupid people can cause problems, but it usually takes brilliant people to create a real catastrophe.
President Obama's "agreement" with Iran looks very much like "the emperor's new clothes." We are supposed to pretend that there is something there, when there is nothing there that will stop, or even slow down, Iran's development of a nuclear bomb.
The endlessly repeated argument that most Americans are the descendants of immigrants ignores the fact that most Americans are NOT the descendants of ILLEGAL immigrants. Millions of immigrants from Europe had to stop at Ellis Island, and had to meet medical and other criteria before being allowed to go any further.
Governor Bobby Jindal: "I realize that the best way to make news is to mention Donald Trump. ... So, I've decided to randomly put his name into my remarks at various points, thereby ensuring that the news media will cover what I have to say." Governor Jindal's outstanding record in Louisiana should have gotten him far more attention from the media than Trump's bombast.
In her latest book, "Adios, America!" Ann Coulter says, "if Romney had won 71 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2012, instead of 27 percent, he still would have lost. On the other hand, had he won just 4 percent more of the white vote, he would have won."
Despite an old saying that taxes are the price we pay for civilization, an absolute majority of the record-breaking tax money collected by the federal government today is simply transferred by politicians from people who are not likely to vote for them to people who are more likely to vote for them.

Good job, Tom!
Seems like this guy knows what is going on, how many of the others in ‘sewer city’ knows???
I loved that one too.
How about someone who knows everyone is afraid of her?
C'mon, Thomas, cheap shot.
Not such a good job, Tom—Trump has said he was joking about Hillary and his wedding. It was actually a good deflection of a question during a debate.
But a big, rich real estate businessman from NYC was doing the expected and smart thing by inviting Sen. Clinton from his state to his wedding.
I don’t know how to put this delicately, but Tom is no longer young and many columnists have ghost writers. Maybe that explains why he has slipped into Establishment propaganda?
Thanks for posting...
If you added evidence of criminal activity (can anyone say "gang tattoos"?) or a high probability of becoming a ward of the state, then those odds of being rejected increased to nearly 100%.
“Ronald Reagan won two landslide victories with the help of “Reagan Democrats.” These were voters who usually voted for Democrats but were now voting for Reagan. He got these voters by winning them over to his policy agenda — not by adjusting his policy agenda to them, as the Republican establishment today seems to think is the way to expand their constituency.”
We need to make a meme out of “Trump Democrats” and repeat it incessantly.
As usual, Tom is right.
Such a pity he’s too old to run for President.
I read that happened to Bernie Sanders but I hadn't read it also happened to Jeb Bush.
“In her latest book, “Adios, America!” Ann Coulter says, “if Romney had won 71 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2012, instead of 27 percent, he still would have lost. On the other hand, had he won just 4 percent more of the white vote, he would have won.””
And Trump is WELL ON HIS WAY to getting those 4%, given that flooding this country with immigrants cuts across both parties. He will win big, very big.
Yep, it happened to Sanders in Seatlle and last week to Bush in Vegas, both are losers. :)
“Governor Jindal’s outstanding record in Louisiana should have gotten him far more attention from the media than Trump’s bombast.”
Outstanding record? Well, if you like Common Core. When Jindal became governor, he inherited a one billion dollar surplus in the treasury. He increased spending, will leave his office with a 750 million dollar deficit and growing daily.
“The Mendacity of Hype” - Bravo, Dr. Sowell. I’ll have to remember that one.
