HEATHER MACDONALD: Practical thoughts on immigration. Deterrence via deportation.
REPUBLICAN RALLYING CRY: "Oh, Hill, No! No, no, no, nooo..."
OBAMA: partisanship wrangling over Iran nuclear deal 'needs to stop'. I agree; but my interpretation of 'needs to stop' is just a wee bit different from his.

IF OBAMACARE CONTINUES, this should become a big seller.
LIKE A MOTH TO A FLAME ... Rev. Al Sharpton expected to make visit to North Charleston. Where he's not wanted.

Clearly the author needs to get out of his Manhattan-DC bubble for a while....
DOES INDIANA signal the end of liberalism?

TownHall columnist Mike Adams agrees.
AMERICAN SNIPER CENSORSHIP at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. But look what else they're watching.
