What To Make of the Islamic Migration Into Europe?

(John Hinderaker) Many thousands of migrants–some refugees, some not–are making their way from Islamic countries in the Middle East and Asia to Turkey, thence to Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Hungary, Austria and finally, for most of them, Germany. The largest number come from Syria, but other Islamic countries are represented from as far away as Afghanistan. It is still not clear to me why this torrent has suddenly broken free. Germany has promised

Democrats See No Irony In Running Against Themselves

(John Hinderaker) Today Joe Biden delivered a populist oration on the occasion of Labor Day. Biden ripped the stagnant American economy of recent years: "I'm mad, I'm angry," Biden thundered, attacking the U.S. economy as "devastating for workers." That's what we've been saying for the last 6 1/2 years. Where has Biden been all this time? Oh yeah, that's right–he's been the vice president. The economy is lousy for most workers because
