As they navel-gaze, wondering why one of the biggest election machines in the country’s history lost to an under-funded, untutored, political outsider who was continually slammed by the media, Democrats should focus on -- Mrs. Perleman. Mrs. Perleman, who owns and operates a successful skin care salon, voted for Donald Trump. She does not broadcast that decision because she lives in Manhattan and like so many others, has been shamed into hiding her choice. She is especially cautious since many of her clients are female and distraught that Hillary Clinton lost. (Respecting her discretion, this is not her real name.)...

A Mississippi man who accused the Thad Cochran campaign of paying African-Americans to vote for the senator in his primary runoff last month is walking back his story. Stevie Fielder told California-based blogger Charles C. Johnson he was asked to buy votes for $15 a pop in the June 24 runoff between Cochran and state Sen. Chris McDaniel. Now, he's saying he never paid anyone to vote, saying the conversations he claimed he had with Cochran campaign staffers Kirk Sims and Amanda Shook were "hypothetical" and the interview with Johnson was edited.

The White House has come under criticism from some Latino advocates for failing to...

Looks like the AFL-CIO is no longer even trying to hide the fact that it no longer sports a traditionally American political outlook. The labor union has announced that it is joining a voter registration drive called One Nation Working Together. This coalition is filled with some of the most extremely leftist groups in America today including the ACLU, Enviro extremists, La Raza, Code Pink, various anti-war groups, and the Communist Party USA. This new move by the AFL-CIO finds hearty support from the People's World newspaper, a publication dedicated to communism and the "direct descendent" of the communist Daily...

The illegal immigration issue now boiling up as an overarching president and a Democrat Congress tackle the prospect of giving amnesty to 20 million illegal immigrants is merely a thinly veiled attempt register new Democrats for the 2010 and especially 2012 elections. Granting illegals amnesty is thought to be the way the liberal left will assure their ascendancy to an American socialist dictatorship. Anchor baby chain One correction ignored for decades is ending the anchor baby chain migration by which pregnant women come to America to deliver babies who automatically receive America citizenship.

Cities, counties and states that haven't been very kind to illegal immigrants over the years are suddenly dusting off their welcome mats.

Seventy-five members of Congress asked House leaders on Tuesday to shut down a loophole allowing billions in economic stimulus funds to go to some 300,000 construction workers who are in the country illegally. “I believe that this figure may be low,” Rep. Cliff Stearns, R-Fla., tells Newsmax.

PHOENIX (AP) - The Legislature approved a bill Thursday that would criminalize the presence of illegal immigrants in Arizona and provide $160 million to help authorities in the nation's busiest illicit entry point with their immigration crackdown. The legislation also would set fines for businesses that continue to employ illegal immigrants after receiving warnings, require local police agencies to train officers in enforcing immigration law and deny education benefits to immigrants. The bill, which was approved 33-22 by the House and 16-9 by the Senate, now goes to Gov. Janet Napolitano. Spokeswoman Jeanine L'Ecuyer declined to say whether the governor...

RUSH: Now, folks, as I say, I've got all this figured out, and when I told you this wasn't about immigration, I was right; and when I told you that what this is really all about is the Democrats wanting and needing some new victims, I was right; and when I said this was all about politicians, particularly Democrats wanting new voters, I was right.
