Maryland Democrats are claiming they are bringing to the floor this week a bill which would allow the children of illegal immigrants to have in state tuition.  I think it is a misnomer because the children born here already get it.  It is about children who were brought here illegally getting resident rates. It is interesting at a time when [...]

Thanks to William Donald Schaefer’s signing a 1991 abortion act which put the state on the other side of a more sensible approach which was to sweep the nation, Maryland is a regional child killing haven.

We pushed aside old fashion discipline as being unenlightened. The result is that schools became more about crowd control than they need to be. Learning has taken a back seat to survival for some students as they face daily harassment and bullying. With schools increasingly shackled when it comes to effective discipline and intervention, the [...]

In nearby Virginia, the Congressional race between Incumbent Jim Moran of VA-8 and retired Col.

Democrats in New Jersey have run their state into the ground. They haven’t stopped doing it. They were trying to keep the temporary tax increase on millionaires. Was it to close the budget deficit?
