Our good friends on the left cheered when the Supreme Court let stand a lower court ruling, in Lozano v City of Hazleton, that only the federal government has any power over immigration, invalidating a Hazleton, Pennsylvania ordinance which prohibited landlords from leasing to immigrants who could not prove their legal status.

Taher al Nunu, the new Hamas spokesfool, does not look as though he has been plagued by food insecurity.
And it has worked! Neither Germany nor Japan has tried to conquer anyone, at least not through war, though their economic power has expanded far beyond their borders. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is insisting on the same thing when it comes to Gaza:
Netanyahu, leaving for DC: We’re working for Gaza deal on our terms, Hamas won’t be there; chance to greatly expand peace accords
By Lazar Berman | Sunday, July 6, 2025
Before boarding his flight to Washington, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that Israel has an opportunity “to expand the circle of peace far beyond what we could have imagined.” Continue reading
We have previously asked why the left always root for the bad guys, pointing out that “heroes” like Michael Brown, George Floyd, Freddie Gray, and Trayvon Martin were all bad guys, and noting how The Philadelphia Inquirer’s far-left columnist wants another bad guy, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, someone even he admitted is an “undocumented immigrant (who) was no angel.”
Now comes Representative Pramila Jayapal of Washington state, one of the ‘squadristi‘, and she is just beside herself that the Trump Administration is deporting convicted criminals!
The Trump administration just dropped 8 immigrants — who they were previously holding in a shipping container in Djibouti — into war torn South Sudan.
Cruel. Inhumane. There aren’t words to describe how disgusting this is.
We’ll keep fighting.
My good friend William Teach reported on just what angels these eight deportees are, including this line:
They have been convicted of various crimes, with four of them convicted of murder, the Department of Homeland Security has said.
These are the guys for whom the distinguished gentlelady from Washington said, “We’ll keep fighting.”
When the left tell you who they are, believe them!
Former Ambassador John Bolton seems to have never met a war in which he didn’t want the United States involved, but Wikipedia noted his opinions during the War in Vietnam:
Bolton was a supporter of the Vietnam War, but avoided combat through a student deferment followed by enlistment in the Maryland Air National Guard. During the 1969 Vietnam War draft lottery, Bolton drew number 185. (Draft numbers were assigned by birth date. Numbers 1 to 195 were eventually called up.) As a result of the Johnson and Nixon administrations’ decisions to rely largely on the draft rather than on the reserve forces, joining a Guard or Reserve unit became a way to reduce the chances of service in Vietnam.

Stephen Ireland came to my attention due to his harassment of British author J K Rowling, she of the Harry Potter series fame. Miss Rowling is very much a leftist, and a supporter of homosexuals. She even declared Albus Dumbledore, the fictitious headmaster of the fictitious Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in her series to be homosexual, even though that had never been written or implied in the actual series.
Yes, I’ve read all of the Harry Potter series!
But that wasn’t good enough for some on the left, because she also realized that, while she thoroughly supported homosexuals, the idea that people could actually change their sex was too cockamamie for even an author writing about magic spells to be believed. She was labeled a TERF, Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist, a term which was originally a politically neutral description, but which has become enough of a pejorative that the Associated Press Stylebook notified writers on Twitter — I refuse to call it 𝕏 — that TERF, along with “gender-critical” should not be used.
As we have noted previously, bad causes attract bad people, which naturally includes Mr Iraland. From The British Broadcasting Company:
Pride group founder jailed for rape of boy, 12
We have previously reported on Will Thomas, the male swimmer for the University of Pennsylvania, who decided that he was really a woman, started calling himself “Lia”, and went on to compete on Penn’s women’s swim team. A 6’3″ tall man male, ranked 462nd, he quickly became number one in women’s swimming. Why, it’s almost as though there are real physical differences between males and females, differences which make a difference in sports and physical activities.
There are many, many things which made something of a difference in the campaign between former President Donald Trump and then-Vice President Kamala Harris Emhoff, and one of the issues hammered on by our then-former President was the far-left’s insistence that ‘transgender’ women, like Mr Thomas, really are women. Mr Trump won the election, and has been putting his policies into place.
Penn strikes agreement with Trump administration over trans athletes
The New York Post, our nation’s second oldest continuously published daily newspaper, founded by Alexander Hamilton in 1801, reported:
As a member of WaPo’s video department, (Thomas LeGro) was part of a team of reporters that won a prestigious Pulitzer Prize in 2017 for coverage of former Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore.
Moore threatened to sue the Washington Post that year after the outlet published allegations that he romantically pursued a 14-year-old girl when he was in his 30s, which he vehemently denied.
As someone who managed to trash Mr Moore’s Senate candidacy with allegations that he used to date underaged girls, one would thing that Thomas LeGro would understand the dangers of child pornography, but apparently he (allegedly) did not. From The Washington Post:
Washington Post editor charged with possessing child pornography
For a Democrat, The Philadelphia Inquirer’s chief editorial board writer Daniel Pearson is one of the not-so-bad guys. He’s actually a (mostly) moderate guy who wants to see the laws enforced, though perhaps less so when it comes to our immigration laws and serious criminal laws in general; you can’t endorse the George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police hating District Attorney Larry Krasner and be too serious about law enforcement!
But, a commuter using the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, SEPTA, himself, he sure wants to see a crackdown on the turnstile jumpers and fare evaders! I guess that’s something.
SEPTA’s fare evasion crackdown is no joke. Ask the more than 3,200 people criminally charged this year.
SEPTA says far too many Philadelphians aren’t paying to ride the transit system. It costs the agency about $50 million yearly in lost revenue.
People have been crying for peace, peace, more loudly in the civilized West since the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the October 7th attack on Israel by Hamas. We good Westerners have tended to ignore conflicts in other parts of the world.
In our religion studies after Mass on Sunday, we were going over the meaning of the word “peace.” The Gospel reading for next Sunday is Luke 10:1-12, which includes:
3 Go; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. 4 Carry no money belt, no bag, no shoes; and greet no one on the way. 5 Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’ 6 If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. 7 Stay in that house, eating and drinking what they give you; for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not keep moving from house to house. 8 Whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you; 9 and heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’
The commentary in the study guides brought up the definition of shalom as it is used in Hebrew.
The ancient Hebrew meaning of shalam was “to make something whole”. Not just regarding practical restoration of things that were lost or stolen. But with an overall sense of fulness and completeness in mind, body and estate.
Too often in English, we see the word ‘peace’ as meaning the absence of direct violence or war. Thus, when people call for peace between Russia and Ukraine, or between Israel and the Arabs, they too often mean just a ceasefire. A ceasefire in itself is a very basic good, but mustn’t peace actually mean more than that? Mustn’t peace mean more than “I am not trying to kill anyone, and no one is trying to kill me”, but also mean “I don’t want to kill anyone, and no one wants to kill me”? Continue reading
