I spent the past week in Wisconsin and have seldom had the opportunity to see more vividly the red/blue divide in America. The urban areas are predominantly hard left while the rural areas are defiantly conservative. My trip began in a suburb of Madison, Wisconsin. SNIP Out on the streets, many cars had Biden-Harris” bumper stickers still clinging to them. One car I managed to photograph even had a car version of the leftists’ beloved “in this house we believe” yard sign, ending with “kindness is everything.” Somehow that seemed at odds with the sticker showing the Marxist raised fist...

Good grief! Get a load of today's immigration story in the New York Times. It is some of the best unintentional comedy of this election cycle. First, some context: The Biden administration, with its incoherent immigration policy, has been causing a humanitarian disaster that is completely overwhelming border communities in Texas and Arizona. At resident Joe Biden's direction, the Border Patrol is now forced to process and release thousands of illegal border crossers into small towns and cities in South Texas, such as Del Rio and Laredo. These municipalities are completely unequipped to deal with this Biden-generated crisis. **SNIP** At...

The place where you want to live doesn't exist anymore. There is no pathway back to the past. The future happens moving forward. These thoughts became clear recently when discussing Chicago with a friend who had moved there years ago. Some in San Francisco, New York, and other large metropolitan areas, I would assume, now also feel the same. The cities of their desire or memory no longer exist.
