Stray Thought 0

It occurs to me that Trump’s MAGA slogan is in rhyming code.

The third word is one that rhymes with “great,” but actually starts with the next letter of the alphabet. And he’s made it come true.

Here’s just one little example.

A Notion of Immigrants 0

A Texas judge who was dealing with immigration case decided to visit the Texas-Mexico border. What he found was not what we’re being told. Here’s a tiny bit from his article:

What I saw in the courtroom fueled my desire to go to see it for myself. What I found was astonishingly different from the chaos often portrayed in the media and in legal circles. I saw a border that was secure, with helicopters patrolling and law enforcement officers working in an orderly process. Migrants waited for months in Mexican border towns for their turn to legally enter, going through extensive screenings, interviews and sponsor verifications. To call them “illegals” is not only misleading but dismisses the effort and legality of their actions.
