Donald Trump, refugees and SCOTUS

Editorial

The Supreme Court on Thursday expanded President Trump’s power over immigration—or so the press proclaims. The White House no doubt wishes that were true, but the six conservative Justices merely ruled that judges can’t usurp power that Congress delegated to the President. At issue in Mullin v. Doe was Mr. Trump’s termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Syrian and Haitian refugees. A 1990 law lets the Secretary of Homeland Security provide quasi-legal status to migrants if they can’t safely return to their home countries because of armed conflicts, natural ...

Zohran Mamdani's bogus explanation for opposing Israel

Columns

It's a shame, really. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is such a strong supporter of pluralism that he has to single out the state of Israel for unique opprobrium. Asked by Jonathan Karl of ABC News in an interview for "This Week" whether he supports Israel's status as a Jewish state, ...

It's the big 2-5-0 for America

Editorial

America always celebrates its birthday with sparklers, red, white and blue bunting, parades and fireworks. On Saturday, however, in Superiorland and elsewhere in these United States, expect all of the above to amp up considerably as the nation marks its 250th birthday. If truth be told, though, the fun in Marquette's Lower Harbor got rolling Thursday afternoon with the kick off of the Marquette County Exchange Club's 44th Annual Freedom Fest that will run until 10:30 p.m. Saturday.

Columnist Lowry wrong about patriotism

Letters To The Editor

To the Journal editor: This is in regard to Rich Lowry's June 20 patriotism column and the June 30 American pride article. Rich Lowry uses "proudness" polling data to insinuate that Democrats are less patriotic than Republicans. Considering how wrong the 2024 presidential election poll predictions were, these "proudness" patriotism polls may be unreliable. Bland questions like "how proud are you of our country" with a ranking of "very" to "zero" is rather meaningless. There are many facets to our country, some we definitely can be very proud of, others of which we can be deeply ashamed ...

Is JD Vance more dangerous than Trump?

Columns

JD Vance said (last) Friday that the U.S. wins "either way" in negotiations with Iran. "If we make the final deal, then great," Vance told HBO's Bill Maher. "If we don't make the final deal, their nuclear program is still destroyed. They're still much weaker as a country." Just hours after ...
