An Insoluble Crisis – 97% Gone

The American Mind
April 16, 2025
Read The Full Story

Practically from the day Donald Trump entered politics, the Left claimed his vow to halt the flood of drug smugglers and illegal immigrants from Mexico was as futile as it was heartless. But not even two months after Trump’s second inauguration, reports Todd Bensman in The American Mind, the border crisis is effectively over. Thanks to concerted enforcement of existing American law, Bensman notes, illegal crossing attempts are down by 97 percent from the at times 300,000 per month under Democratic President Joe Biden.

The Science of Personal Self-Destruction

During the recent power blackouts in Spain, police raided a home containing three dishevelled – and triple-masked – children who hadn’t left the house since the pandemic lockdowns began. The parents are now in jail. At SteynOnline, the great Mark Steyn points out that the weird duo were actually “following the science” to its logical – and self-destructive – conclusion, and asks why the leaders who imposed such measures to begin with aren’t the ones behind bars.

What Winning Looks Like

In the Southeast Missourian, Victor Davis Hanson methodically demonstrates that the Donald Trump Administration has successfully launched a vast number of urgently needed reforms – from restoring control over America’s borders to slashing the bloated federal bureaucracy and cutting spending, to taking on anti-Semitism and DEI/reverse racism at elite universities. Consolidating these gains, warns Hanson, will require holding the “moral high ground” and keeping the “ethically bankrupt” Democratic opposition off-balance.

The Cult of Death Advances in Europe

Hélène de Lauzun in The European Conservative laments France’s imminent introduction of a euthanasia law that will make chronically ill people with several years left to live (as well as the mentally ill) “eligible” for assisted suicide. Just one doctor’s agreement will be needed to put someone to death, and doctors will risk professional ruin if they refuse to go along. Of course, what’s new and still shocking in France is standard practice in Canada.

The War on Alcohol Moves South

Pressure is mounting on the U.S. government to redefine the safe level of alcohol consumption down to zero, reports Christopher Snowdon in The Spectator – and the push is being driven by some of the same researchers who’ve been making life miserable for Canadian social drinkers. As in Canada, they seek to discredit the view that moderate drinking contributes to cardio-vascular health by challenging the famous “J-Curve” which, backed by decades of science, demonstrates that social drinkers are likely to live longer than teetotallers.
