Evolving on Immigration
According to Mitt Romney, we Republicans need to swallow hard, and beat the Democrats to the punch with amnesty for tens of millions of illegal aliens. Yes, according to Romney, there is no longer a point to demanding that the laws of America be respected,
Open Cuba?
President Obama has supposedly opened the door to Cuba. I’m not sure exactly what he did, nor what it means. According to the Obama pronouncement, it is an ‘initiative’ that came after 18 months of secret negotiations, and will lead to the normalization of relations
Crisis of the Day
My political memory goes back to about 1959, when the Castro revolution took place in Cuba. Since then I have followed the national political scene to a greater or lesser degree. While all presidents have had their share of crises during their administrations, the number
