“I'm not a radical, and I'm not an activist," said Kate Sharaf, a Portland co-organizer. "I just reached a point where I felt I had to do more."

Yes Kate, you are both a radical and an activist, and one who apparently believes those who cross our border illegally should simply be let in.

First the cry was “no separation,” now it’s “no detention.”

What did you and all the other radicals think was going to happen when separation of criminal parents from their children was taken off the table?

You got what you wanted; no separation.

But what that means is that now the kids are detained as well as the parents.

Did you think no separation meant the whole family would be given a condo on the Gulf and a lifetime supply of food stamps?
Time to grow up.
Borders are necessary and normal.

Careful immigration is necessary to maintain this nation as being one in which people want to reside and in which her citizens are safe.

Unchecked unfettered illegal immigration will make this a place no one wants to be. See some European countries for example.

Yes Kate, we know you and the rest of the Left want open borders.

...And if you still can’t understand, perhaps it is you who needs detention in a mental health facility for the purposes of assessment, you seem to be unstable, unable to process logically.

To listen to the mainstream media, the only issues that matter in relation to the upcoming election are immigration and Donald Trump. A new national survey by the American Culture and Faith Institute, however, highlights a variety of other issues that likely voters identify as having “a lot of influence” on their votes in November. The survey also underscores how a unique mosaic of issues is of concern to divergent segments of the voting public, and there are varying levels of impact those issues have on the thinking of those divergent segments.

The Trouble With Solar Energy | Power Line
Mark Mathis of Clear Energy Alliance explains what is wrong with solar energy:

Do you know what it feels like to work with someone who arrives late, does work that others could easily do, harms others’ productivity, and then skips out when they’re most needed? It’s frustrating isn’t it? Welcome to the Solar Value Eclipse. Instead of adding value and efficiency to the electric grid, having too much solar harms the grid’s reliability, its fundamental economics, and it costs you more money.

Look Which Singer's Music the Rite Aid Chain Is Using to Shoo Away Vagrants

Away from the outside of a store, that is.

The pharmacy chain Rite Aid is trying to weaponize Manilow’s music against local panhandlers and vagrants in California.

A handful of Rite Aids in that state have been playing Manilow’s music outside their stores in an effort to get homeless people to set up somewhere else — as The Wall Street Journal reported a few days ago in a piece lightly titled, “He Writes the Songs That Make the Neighbors Cry ‘No More Barry Manilow!'” (That’s a play, of course, on Manilow’s 1975 smash hit, “I Write the Songs.”)

Customers had a difficult time entering those California Rite Aids due to the heavy presence of loiterers surrounding the door, The New York Post reported. Lisa Masters, a drummer from Long Beach, called the store to ask about it and said one of the employees explained it had been highly effective, the publication also reported.
“His attitude was, ‘Would we rather have panhandlers or Manilow?’” Masters said..."

Sanctuary cities pressured with Justice grant programs - Washington Times

Localities looking for money from the grant programs will have to certify that they allow officers to report on the status of illegal immigrants, they allow deportation officers access to their jails and they will give advance notice before releasing people the government wants to detain.
As a brand-new condition, localities will have to certify they comply with federal laws against harboring or smuggling illegal immigrants.
“So-called ‘sanctuary’ policies make all of us less safe because they intentionally undermine our laws and protect illegal aliens who have committed crimes,” said Attorney General Jeff Sessions, calling the new conditions a way to “encourage these ‘sanctuary’ jurisdictions to change their policies.”

Geniuses Possess This One Common Trait | Intellectual Takeout
"James Gleick has written about some of the most distinguished minds in history.
As a former science reporter at the New York Times, he profiled some of the most brilliant people in the world.

He’s written biographies of Isaac Newton and Richard Feyman.
His most recent book—The Information: A History, A Theory, A Flood—examined the key figures behind information theory, such as Stephen Hawking and Claude Shannon.
In a conversation earlier this year with Big Think, Gleick said he noticed that a single trait seemed present in each of the figures he studied.
That trait?
Aloneness.
A comfort in being alone.
A yearning for solitude that goes beyond the normal desire most humans feel..."
