Identity Politics

Identity Politics

I normally wouldn’t devote an entire post to mixed martial arts, especially when there are such vital issues to discuss-including the Obama administration’s continued war against the State of Arizona. The sport doesn’t particularly appeal to me as a spectator, and I’m of the opinion that if I wanted to see men who didn’t know...

When Heroes Go Down

When Heroes Go Down

I’ll discuss this at length in the days ahead, but I’d be remiss in not reporting the news that Senator Pearce seems to have been recalled by voters in Arizona’s Legislative District 18. The people who want to turn Arizona into a haven for illegal aliens would appear to have achieved a significant political victory,...

Barack Obama’s Solution To Unemployment (Intelligence Squared U.S. Debate)

Barack Obama’s Solution To Unemployment (Intelligence Squared U.S. Debate)

Yesterday, as I was standing behind hundreds of other job-seekers in line for one of the periodic job fairs held by the New York Post at the Affinia Hotel, I realized how pivotal forums like the Intelligence Squared U.S. debate-pictured above-which I attended on Tuesday are to the economic debate occurring in this country. This...

Occupy Wall Street (Part IV)

Occupy Wall Street (Part IV)

This will be my fourth photo essay documenting the encampment at Zuccotti Park. After embedding themselves within this section of lower Manhattan for well over a month, the protest movement known as Occupy Wall Street has developed into a small, albeit extremely controversial, community. While I was walking around the park I did notice...

Return To Zuccotti Park

Return To Zuccotti Park

 That is a photo of myself and Andrew Wilkow, host of the Wilkow Majority on the Sirius XM Patriot channel, standing outside of Zuccotti Park. He was there this weekend co-hosting a live remote with David Webb, seen below, at the scene of Occupy Wall Street.

Scaling The Ivory Tower

Scaling The Ivory Tower

In my previous post, I described two presentations by post-graduate students invited to (New) Debates On Belonging, a workshop by the CUNY Graduate Center-seen above-devoted to exploring original research into the subjects of illegal immigration and the lives of illegal aliens within the United States. There were three other presentations that day, beginning with...

Immigration Issues in Academe

Immigration Issues in Academe

The image you see above is a flow chart describing the process by which the bodies of illegal aliens, or in the parlance of the presenter, “undocumented border crossers,” found in the United States are identified and returned to their families. Or, in the case of those whose identities can not be verified, disposed...

South Park Does Mexico

South Park Does Mexico

South Park is an absurd and profane comedy series, but it has a knack for exposing the underlying truths behind social issues.  The latest episode of South Park,  ”The Last of the Meheecans“, tackles the problem of illegal immigration, and gets a lot of it right .   Liberals claiming to care for the well-being...

Occupy Wall Street Observations

Occupy Wall Street Observations

That was one of the more amusing things I spotted during yesterday’s trip to Zuccotti Park to observe Occupy Wall Street firsthand. And despite the obvious-perhaps intentional-misspelling of the word, I can’t help but agree with the sentiments expressed on that empty pizza box. There were other unusual sightings yesterday, including the unique juxtaposition...

Thoughts on Occupy Wall Street

Thoughts on Occupy Wall Street

  One of the more intriguing aspects of New York City is the confluence, and at times, confrontation of different ideas and individuals that occur on a daily basis. Today I found myself observing and photographing this phenomenon in lower Manhattan, which has been the staging point for the protests staged by Occupy Wall Street for...
