Partisan Politics Clouds Clear Thinking on Election Fraud
Reader reaction to my last column on voter fraud precisely proved my point. We have become so consumed with spewing political snark in this country that we’re often blinded to our problems.

Read MoreVoting Fraud Exists – It Just Does
Crimes are being committed in the United States every time there is an election. In states across America there are plenty of illegally registered voters on the rolls and a good portion of them are casting ballots. Some are not citizens of the United States. Others flaunt the law and vote in more than one…
Read MoreWith Summer Swelter, Prison Inmates Have Nowhere to Go
I received an unusual letter from Arizona recently. It was written by an inmate held at the Lewis prison complex in Buckeye, Arizona and signed by 39 other prisoners. Their complaint?

The city’s insurance company has agreed to pay them $1.5 million to settle their wrongful death lawsuit against the city, the former police chief and Wilson.

A reader from New Hampshire wrote to ask, “Why, just because you are born here, are you an American citizen? I know the history of this law but it is out of date and just encourages more illegal immigration.” Well, I cannot argue with that. The reader, who goes by the handle Rocheleau, expressed displeasure…
