Since Arizona’s local law enforcement began enforcing illegal immigration laws and an employer sanctions law went into effect, illegal immigrants have been fleeing the state in large numbers. The effects have been far-ranging. Commuters are reporting fewer vehicles on the freeways, shortening their rush-hour commutes. What had become a serious transportation problem in Arizona is losing its urgency. English Learner Language (ELL) students started dropping out of school. This helped end a confrontation between the state legislature and a liberal federal judge who had ordered the state to spend more money on ELL classes. Fewer illegal immigrants are using hospital...

You know something’s afoot (or in this case, ready to rev) when a Texas oil tycoon like T. Boone Pickens calls one of his companies Clean Energy (CLNE). That is, when he’s not trying to corner the market on water or harness the strong winds in the Texas panhandle. Pickens has become a true believer in natural gas as a fuel for transport. He controls a majority of shares of Clean Energy, which provides CNG (compressed natural gas) and LNG (liquefied natural gas) for use in refuse, transit, ports, shuttle, taxi, trucking, airport and municipal fleet markets. He even has...

Congrats to all you DUmmies out in California who can now marry each other in that state. I was originally intending to DUFU one of the many jubilant DUmmie threads about the California Supreme Court overturning the ban on gay marriage but they mostly consisted of DUmmies just high-fiving each other with little thought about how this decision will help to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in many House and Senate races this November. Therefore, I took a trip to KOmmieland and found the KOmmies salivating at the prospect of the House possibly frogwalking Karl Rove. This...

What a relief!!! Our son made it home safe and mostly unharmed last night. Along with his unit, he served for 15 long months in Iraq. What a great anniversary gift for his mom and I! We are grateful to God for his safe return.

History provides examples of so many things. We would like to believe that our lives and events are unique and fresh. The truth is much less alluring. In truth there is little that happens which is truly 'new'. If we look hard enough, we can always find that what we see today has happened to someone else in the past. Sometimes we just have to look a little further back than we want to.As George Santayana quipped, "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it". Barack Obama should have considered those words very carefully. April 28,...

To hear him tell it the fearless Barack (whose middle name must not be mentioned) Obama went into the lion's den in Detroit and gave those auto executives what's what and "nobody clapped."

Republican Senate candidate Jim Ogonowski took his attacks against Sen. John Kerry's record to a new level yesterday -- television. Ogonowski, one of two Republicans vying to oust Kerry this fall, launched the first TV ad of the campaign season. The one-minute ad will air on cable stations throughout the state for the next three weeks, his campaign said. "People are absolutely fed up with the fact that he has been there so long and passed only eight pieces of legislation (since 1999)," Ogonowski said. "There's some real excitement in this state if you get to talk to people about...

We have been told for as long as we can remember that voting is a god given right in this country. To be politically incorrect “One man, one vote” is what we are told. How could anyone disagree? What a wonderful world we live in with our wonderful democracy here in the U.S. Well I, the WhiteDevil, will now disagree. We already put some limitations on voting. We may not vote until we are 18. Not all people living in America can vote such as legal or illegal immigrants. Felons cannot vote in most places. A judge can remove the...

If you're facing foreclosure, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson wants to help. "If someone is willing to make a call to reach out," says Paulson, "there's a chance we can save their homes." But Paulson can't save these homes because the homes are not endangered in the first place. They stand to change hands, not to vanish. There cannot be more homeowners than there are homes, and if one home becomes vacant, then there can be one new homeowner. Call it the Law of Conservation of Homes. None of these foreclosed houses is going to disappear. After a foreclosure, one family...

Ottawa’s Panhandlers’ Union has filed a $1 million lawsuit against the City for blocking access to a highway underpass where a youth was murdered. “The area in question is dark, dank and rank,” explained City Attorney Alfred Throckmorton. “Closing it off enhances public health and safety.” The suit describes the underpass as a “critical ‘dumping’ ground for the homeless community.” “These people have nowhere else to go,” said Union lawyer Amos Arrant. “So, one person was murdered. Unfortunate as this may be, putting up with an occasional murder is the price we may have to pay for preserving a traditional...

The New Republic has just published one of the most devastating critiques of Obama I have read, and it's by a Liberal Black man. Subtitled The black case for Obama-skepticism it asks the question why 90% of black people support Obama and why 10% do not. Ninety percent of black Democrats support Barack Obama. So that might leave an observer wondering: What the hell is up with that other 10 percent? Are they stupid? Do they hate their own race? Do they not understand the historical import of the moment? ... ...once you stare past the radiant glow surrounding Obama...

Do you know what language is spoken in Afghanistan? NO? Obama doesn't either. But it's not Arabic. From Powerline: There is occasionally an improvised quality to Barack Obama's critique of the conduct of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He sometimes seems to be making up his critique as he goes along. This improvised quality comes through clearly in the ABC News Political Radar blog report on Barack Obama's appearance earlier this week in Cape Girardeau: Sporting a shiny new American flag pin at an appearance in Rush Limbaugh's hometown, Sen. Barack Obama came up with some novel reasons why...

The move on the Left from Hillary to Obama has all the characteristics of a nasty divorce. A few days ago I wrote about one of my associates who transferred his affection from the Clintons to Obama. He spoke about Hillary like she was a wife who had slept with his best friend. The expressions of loathing are especially graphic in the blogosphere. Thanks to Powerline we get a glimpse of what the Left is saying when they are not using four letter words to describe Hillary. Posts like this one from John Aravosis, with the title "Go away you...
