—
by
We do not have an emergency at the southern border, and so it’s good President Trump did not try to seize power by declaring a state of emergency during his national address Tuesday night.

CNN should study the words of Martin Luther King, Jr., after characterizing Colorado’s successful Democratic governor as just another “white guy.” The network should learn King’s vision for this country before continuing a media narrative that pits white men against “people of color.” Dr. King would not care about the color of John Hickenlooper’s skin.…
