THE US SKI TEAM WILL NOT HAVE A MEXICO CITY MOMENT

When “Reform” Becomes Sabotage: How Congress Is Trying to Nullify Immigration Law Without Repealing It
What is being sold to the public as “civil-rights reform” is, in reality, something far more troubling: an effort to use procedural burdens, funding conditions, and selective restrictions to obstruct the execution of federal law, without ever voting to change that law. This is not reform. It is constitutional evasion.

MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD & CAIR, DOMESTIC HATE GROUPS?
ndependent of foreign advocacy media, U.S. court records, sworn testimony, and government actions establish that the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR exhibit the organizational, ideological, and operational characteristics historically treated under U.S. law as hate-based extremist enterprises, justifying enhanced scrutiny, exclusion from public institutions, and civil-rights enforcement actions.

NUREMBERG. ANOTHER REMAKE OF THE SAME OLD MYTHS
Nuremberg was not a comprehensive prosecution of Nazi criminality. It was not a complete accounting of responsibility for the Holocaust. And it was not, in any meaningful sense, the final legal word on the architects of genocide. Instead, it was a politically constrained, procedurally improvised tribunal shaped as much by Cold War exigencies and postwar reconstruction priorities as by the pursuit of justice.
