Here’s a novel idea based on observations of the ebb and flow of illegal immigration over the past half-century. If you invite illegal aliens into the country and offer them jobs and benefits, they will come. If you make it clear that they will obtain zero benefits and, if caught, will be removed, they will not come. In other words, this is not some sort of natural disaster that requires more personnel at the border to ameliorate the situation. If you simply make illegal immigration illegal, they won’t come.

This past week, the Committee to Unleash Prosperity issued a report highlighting the following: Current unemployment benefits combined with pandemic and health care subsidies can now add up to $160,000 annually in certain parts of the country.

This is 1.5% below pre-COVID levels, which means that, by some estimates, we now have at least 400,000 fewer people engaged in gainful employment than we did before 2020.

Earth is headed for a sixth extinction, warned biologist Paul Ehrlich on "60 Minutes" this Sunday. And since Ehrlich has predicted about 20 extinctions over the past 60 years, he's a leading expert on the issue.

We all would agree that 2022 was a bizarre, contentious, and challenging year. And with only a few days into the New Year, 2023 doesn’t look much different. We are living in a time of uncertainty, chaos, and political polarization. The nation is not only divided, but many are discouraged and dismayed with cultural and political trends. With all of those feelings, along with the current headlines, it would be extremely easy to feel overwhelmed and anxious. But we must NOT allow it

El Paso has become a key location for immigrants to illegally cross into the United States. The Texas city is being overrun with illegal aliens who are coming to their neighborhoods, prowling through their yards and may be carrying weapons. The huge number of arrivals has thrown the city into crisis. In fact, El Paso's Mayor Oscar Leeser recently declared a state of emergency.

Mere moments after former President Donald Trump dropped his "big announcement" about a new line of virtual trading cards, more than a few left-leaning voices were scoffing and asking how any self-respecting person could continue to associate themselves with such a huckster. While I will let Trump fans speak for themselves, I feel it incumbent to ask how these same leftists continue associating themselves with the credibility clown show that is modern American progressivism right now.

Have you ever boarded an airliner during a rainstorm and then, minutes later, broken through the clouds to bright sunshine? It can be quite startling. People blink like moles emerging from their burrow. The sun has been there all along, of course, but when we're unable to see it from below we can forget how bright it can be.

Everything that is wrong with this country is embodied in the 4,155-page omnibus bill negotiated by Mitch McConnell and supported by the majority of Senate Republicans. Like all bills that fleece the American people, it was dropped in a massive cardboard box at 1:23 a.m. Tuesday morning and will be passed in less than two days. Just know it didn’t have to be this way, because Senate Democrats always needed 10 Republicans to help steal the fiscal year 2023 budget away from the newly elected GOP House. But the big question is: Now what?
