Relevant and even prescient commentary on news, politics and the economy.

Flying Athletes to Basket Ball Games and Deportees in Chains to Other Countries

What would you do or say? By all expectations, I would believe universities and the companies supporting them would be more careful with association with commercial entities.

Immigrants are Using Less Welfare than US Citizens

In that respect, the title is correct. Immigrants whether legal or not do not use more welfare than U.S. citizens. That they do use welfare benefits can be an issue to many.

citizens are not replacing themselves

Preliminary Information . . . During the Vietnan conflict or war, I served with other nationalities who were “not” citizens. Never gave it a thought as we all worked together in the Corps.
