I don’t know about you, but I’m really feeling sorry for NBC’s Brian Williams. Seriously, did anyone ever have any expectation of depth, truthfulness, or quality reporting from him?

The debate about our failed immigration policies is back in full force in the American consciousness with the recent news of tens of thousands of “children” trekking to our southern border dominating the headlines. It’s been described as a “humanitarian” disaster, further evidence of a failed immigration policy that for years has not been properly […]
