In their telling, the president’s goal is not merely to enforce America’s borders but to purify its blood — and unleash state violence against anyone who resists his campaign of ethnic cleansing. Of course, there’s nothing new about the left deriding […] Read more ›

The Environmental Protection Agency is taking a major step toward changing its math to favor polluters over people: It’s going to stop tallying up the dollar value of lives saved and hospital visits avoided by air pollution regulations. Instead, the agency will consider the effects of regulations without attaching a price tag to human life. […] Read more ›
