The collective madness of the left over illegal immigrants at the gates

Roger Kimball:
Call 911! The Trump Resistance™ has lost its mind!

Or is all the hysteria over migrant children just a way of hurting President Trump?

...

Here’s what I think: The Resistance™ believes it has — finally, at last, what took them so long? — hit upon an issue they can exploit to show that President Trump really is literally Hitler. That’s why they are airing round-the-clock coverage of The Children! The Babies!, why a Congressional intern (now a former Congressional intern, I hope) screamed “f***- you!” at President Trump when he visited the Capitol yesterday, why hecklers drove out Homeland Security head Kirstjen Nielsen from a restaurant (deliciously, a Mexican restaurant, the irony, the irony) yesterday.

Granted, Donald Trump must be a heartless bastard. After all, he did say “We have to send a clear message, just because your child gets across the border doesn’t mean your child gets to stay.” Oh, wait, sorry, that was actually Hillary Clinton in 2014, not Donald Trump.

But how about those HORRIFYING HEARTRENDING photos of children in CAGES, photos like these. Reminds you of Nazi Germany doesn’t it? (Not really, but still.) Wait, wait, wrong photos. Those photos are from 2014, too. Who was President then? Oh, right. Barack Obama.

Didn’t he have a far more humane, open-minded, open-borderish immigration policy? Did he? Did he? Not really. Here he is explaining why “undocumented” [that’s Dem-speak for “illegal”] workers will be deported because they “broke our immigration laws.”

But Bill Clinton. Surely, he had a more humane immigration policy? Here he is explaining that illegal aliens are breaking the law, putting unacceptable strain on US resources, taking jobs from US citizens, and how his administration will get tough and deport the miscreants.

Collective madness is always alarming to witness, and the unhinged exhibition on the airwaves and editorial pages run by The Resistance™ should have any sane person thinking about calling 911 and putting a little Valium in the water supply. The hysteria feeds and builds upon the hysteria. Someone just dropping in on this festival of insanity might be forgiven for thinking he was witnessing a collective effort to incarnate Edvard Munch’s painting The Scream.
...
Hate can do that to otherwise sane people.  I think they are getting even more desperate because Trump's policies are working to improve the US economy and the plight of minorities who are finding work for a change.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
