IF ‘SANCTUARY CITIES’ ARE ILLEGAL, WILL DOJ PROSECUTE? That’s one of multiple interesting questions raised by Republicans during that fiery House Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing featuring four Sanctuary City mayors. I had the questionable pleasure of covering this proceeding for The Epoch Times.

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Az.) was quite specific about the federal laws he claims sanctuary city procedures violate. Democrats on the panel pushed their highly debatable claim that illegal aliens commit fewer crimes than citizens, and wailed at length about the growing list of terrible sins being inflicted on America by Hitler, er, excuse me, Orange Man Bad.

Wouldn’t it be refreshing if everybody in Congress would simply drop the rhetoric and just plain focus on demonstrable facts????

SCIENCE OR RELIGION? It’s Friday and that means it’s “What Would You Say?” day on HillFaith, which this week features a look at Intelligent Design (ID) and if it should be considered mere religion or a legit field of scientific inquiry.

This is one of those issues that, at least in my humble opinion, too many minds on both sides are already made up and nothing in the way of new evidence or strong logic will change their views. A little tolerance on both sides would be a good thing.

IT’S A WINNING ISSUE, SOMETHING THE CONGRESSIONAL GOP NEEDS TO HAVE TATTOOED ON THEIR FOREHEADS: 61% Of Voters Favor Moving Control Away From Department of Education.

Sending a dollar to Washington only to get back 85 cents wrapped in the Department of Education’s red tape was never a good idea.

The system’s core components would include space-based sensors and missile interceptors, leveraging orbital vantage points for early detection and rapid response. Additionally, terrestrial and maritime platforms would provide layered defense, complemented by advanced communication networks to ensure seamless data-sharing and swift decision-making.”
