Trump, it seems, favors amnesty
(Paul Mirengoff) Donald Trump's rhetoric on illegal immigration has helped push him to the top of the polls in the contest for the Republican presidential nomination.

Background Check System Failed In Lafayette Murders
(John Hinderaker) John Russell Houser, the "drifter" who murdered two and wounded several more in a movie theater in Lafayette, Louisiana, was crazy as a loon. That isn't unusual in such cases, but what is unusual is that Houser was involuntarily committed to a mental institution in 2008. That fact should have prevented him from buying the gun that he used to commit murder, but the federal government's NICS system failed. The

This is, of course, why the mullahs made the deal. Sanctions imposed by the U.S., the E.U. and the U.N. have
