From The American Conservative, by Mr Rod Dreher, 26 April 2019.
The Kansas Supreme Court issued a stunning 6-1 decision today that guarantees expansive abortion rights in the state, no matter what happens at the federal level. To make this clear: even if Roe v. Wade is overturned, abortions will be legal in Kansas, because the state Supremes say abortion is guaranteed in the state constitution.
We face two problems, one moral and one demographic. In both cases we need to leave a trail, in case we wish to walk back from where we find ourselves. Demographically, we need to encourage enough births that, with immigration, we can sustain our population.♠ The moral issue refers to if we are on a slippery slope, one that will eventually lead to euthanasing the "worthless eaters".
♠ And avoid the orally dubious activity of depopulating other countries with our immigration policies.

From The Local, 4 March 2019.
… in France this is in fact punishable with a fixed fine of €135, which may be reduced to €90 or increased to €375, or even a daunting €750 depending on the case and how long it takes you to pay the fine.
As of this writing 1 Euro trades for 1.13 dollars (1€ = $1.13).
In Belgium it is a €130 fine.

"It's a little jarring to hear an American president say, 'Our country is full,' given the history of the United States of America."
Said Chuck Todd, prodding Senator Mitt Romney to set himself apart from President Trump. But that's not what happened. Romney staunchly backed up Trump:
Blog Post from Rofessor Ann Althouse, 8 April 2019.
MITT ROMNEY: Well, we've seen a dramatic shift in the nature of immigration and illegal immigration just over the last few weeks. I mean, a number of years ago and up until just a few weeks ago, the great majority of people coming into our country were coming, looking for work. Single men and oftentimes just were turned at the border. Sent back home typically to Mexico. In the last few weeks, there's been a dramatic change and that is we're seeing unaccompanied young people, as well as families with lots of kids, pouring into the border. And they say the magic word, "I'm seeking asylum." And by virtue of our laws and processes here, we bring them into the country. We don't begin to have enough space in our facilities to maintain the kind of care that these people deserve. And so they're being just turned out into our country, 125,000 of them so far this year. It's overwhelming our system. We have got to be able to deal with this in a way. It's going to take some legislation to get it fixed.
CHUCK TODD: Well, and that's what I'm curious about. How would you be handling this?...
SEN. MITT ROMNEY: Well, he does. He has the capacity to bring together the top Democrats, top Republicans and to sit down and say, "Okay, what can we do legislatively to make sure that we're not creating this extraordinary asylum magnet that's bringing people into the country?" And let me tell you, in my opinion, the Democrats are making a huge error by making border security an issue and saying it's a partisan issue. Look, this is an American issue. We can't have millions upon millions of people flooding into our country without a border that's secure, without ICE making sure the people that are here illegally are sent back. This is a winning issue I think for Republicans. But more importantly, it's a winning issue for Americans to say, "We have to have the sovereignty of our nation."
I think the president has tapped into something which the people feel very deeply.
And I think Professor Althouse is on to something. And, I wonder, if The Host, Reporter Chuck Todd, was a little surprised and disappointed by the answer.

For John, BLUF: A wrong emphasis on who are the terrorists will just get in the way of reducing terrorism. Nothing to see here; just move along.
From City Journal, by Associate Editor Seth Barron, 8 April 2019.
Last week, the New York Times featured an illustrated timeline of “white extremist” killings over the last nine years, with lines demonstrating citation and affiliation among the killers. According to the Times, the record shows “an informal global network of white extremists whose violent attacks are occurring with greater frequency in the West.”
The idea that white supremacist violence is a growing global threat has gained more currency recently, notably in the wake of the ghastly Christchurch mosque massacre, when an avowed white nationalist murdered 50 Muslims. New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, for instance, asserted that “White supremacists committed the largest # of extremist killings in 2017.” No one will deny that racial hatred is an evil ideology, and that people who kill in the name of white supremacy commit evil—but are the New York Times and Ocasio-Cortez correct that “white extremists” are increasingly sowing worldwide mayhem?
And on it goes. They don't even get to the 150 Christians killed recently in Niger.
And, if Egyptians or Turks aren't Caucasian, what are they? Are they Asian? I don't think so. They are not African in the sense we here in the US understand the term.

For John, BLUF: A mandated Minimum Wage make jobs go away, while tight labor markets make inherent minimum wages go up. Nothing to see here; just move along.
From The New York Post, by Mr Charles Gasparino, 5 April 2019.
The left won’t admit it, but Friday’s employment report is yet more proof that President Trump’s policies have achieved in a little more than one year something progressive politicians have been championing for nearly forever: a fairly significant increase in the federal minimum wage.
Now that’s changing. Wages and benefits are rising as businesses scramble to find workers in construction, health care and other industries. Government-induced minimum-wage standards and benefits often force employers to cut their payrolls to make a profit. But that’s not what’s happening now. Businesses are growing because of the Trump administration is cutting regulations, and taxes and the labor pool on the low end.
Turns out supply and demand does work.
And still, it is like the Bolivarian Socialist don't understand that their ideas lead to the worst form of capitalism, the Black Market.
