Blood on Their Hands
Democrats are calling foul on Republicans who, following the murder of the Georgia nursing student by an illegal, are accusing the Biden administration of having “blood on their hands” because of its open-door policy.

Columnist Off Base
When I read the headline, “It’s Time for President Harris,” over Holman W. Jenkins, Jr’s column in the Wall Street Journal, I was naturally curious because he’s usually quite objective, but I admit I was disappointed.

I’M SICK AND TIRED of hearing about everything President Biden has accomplished despite his mental state. In a recent op-ed written by novelist Joeseph Epstein, he declares “How could someone with an enfeebled memory have accomplished all the historically significant improvements his administration has made?
