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.

Palestinian Culture: Unique in its Own Destructive Way
Although the Palestinian Authority enjoys an array of cultural departments and programs, A.J. Caschetta in Jewish World Review finds that all of it – art, education, literature, poetry, music, education and film – is oriented to two goals: the vilification of Jews and the destruction of Israel. Caschetta notes this is in sharp contrast to Arab and Muslim traditions, which include myriad aesthetically normal cultural works. Palestinianism, Caschetta finds, is “a very sick culture”, driven by resentment and fuelled by hate.
