Mayor de Blasio says New York City will not turn away any refugees fleeing Syria. De Blasio said Tuesday that New York "is a proud immigrant city" and would welcome refugees trying to escape the conflict in their homeland. Many public officials and U.S. presidential candidates have expressed wariness at admitting refugees in the wake of the terror attacks in Paris last week.

Chris Christie "an embarrassment to this country" and said that the city "will adhere to the words of our Founding Fathers,...

When there is a local angle to a national story, the local press usually has a field day with it. That hasn't proved to be the case with the story regarding Minnesota Senator Al Franken's outrageous behavior in the Senate during Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's speech opposing the confirmation of Elena Kagan on Thursday.

What this grand disorder has produced, in these United States, is a press system as irrational as those in power. Never fearing that the press might act on our behalf, they simply use it to define reality for us, so that it has worked here as it has worked in closed societies, where truth...

In recent days it has become increasingly clear why this November 5th is more important than ever. Political consultants and pollsters are all reporting that they are expecting turn out to be down 18-25% lower than what is usual turnout. Politicians are clearly worried about it and patriots should be. In the state of Illinois we have been wrangling with specific issues related to the candidates since the very contentious primary season fall one year ago. But after a good sweeping out of the party's old style establishment on the state central committee and the naming of a new GOP...
