There’s a reason why I never tire of praising Senator Jeff Sessions, unlike almost every other parasite lurking within the nation’s capital. That is because there’s simply no one in public life with a keener appreciation of the danger our government’s policy of  unfettered immigration poses to our society, both in the short and...

The global jihad against speech-aided and abetted by our enemedia-was the primary subject of discussion at the SION conference this past Tuesday, and the panels assembled represented the full spectrum of thought and action that is being suppressed as a result of the collaboration between government officials-both elected and unelected-intent on “managing” our ever-diminishing pool of  liberty, the custodians...
