The Hypothetical

Last time Donald Trump was president, rumors of immigration raids terrorized the Oregon community where Gustavo Balderas was the school superintendent. Word spread that immigration agents were going to try to enter schools. There was no truth to it, but school staff members had to find students who were avoiding school and coax them back to class. “People just started ducking and hiding,” Balderas said. Educators around the country are bracing for upheaval, whether or not the president-elect follows through on his pledge to deport millions of immigrants who are in the country illegally.

At an upscale sushi bar in New York last week, a smattering of media and policy types chowed down on a menu of sushi rolls, Peking duck tapas, and mushroom salad. But what made this menu unusual was the one ingredient that ran through the dishes—foie gras made from quail cells brewed in a bioreactor.

The clip serves as another reminder that the U. S. didn’t dodge a bullet but a nuclear bomb on November 5.

Trump and Putin both have an ace, and the ace is business.

The freshly elected administration will be fighting not only a domestic, but global enemy: an octopus-like criminal network swindling no longer free nations under the guise of a new order.

Bad news for leftists that this is getting out.
