Thomas Sowell on Immigration - Thomas Sowell's trust in the findings of a Progressive immigration commission that recommended massive government interventions based on manipulated statistics — a near textbook example of a Teflon prophet — is in blaring contrast to the rest of his work that produces many reasons to be skeptical of such schemes. In 100 years, will Americans look back fondly on today's immigrants and their successful assimilation as they have in other periods of American history? Or will this be the first time that immigrants and their descendants don't become Americans? Given the rapid rate of assimilation across the board, with varying rates of success, there is little to distinguish today's immigration experience from that of our forefathers.

Texas Supreme Court Upholds Texas Law Protecting Unborn Babies from Elective Abortion - The Supreme Court of Texas issued a ruling in Zurawski v. Texas (23-0629), a challenge brought by the New York-based Center for Reproductive Rights (CRR) against Texas' laws protecting unborn babies from elective abortion. The Court unanimously upheld the constitutionality of the Human Life Protection Act, the 2021 law that protects unborn babies from abortion beginning at conception, while affirming the availability and clarity of the medical necessity exception to allow doctors to perform abortion "to save the woman's life or major bodily function, in the exercise of reasonable medical judgment and with the woman's informed consent" according to their "reasonable medical judgment." The Court clarified that a woman's death does not have to be imminent for the exception to apply.

The Biden Administration is Using a Lizard to Kill Energy Production in the Permian Basin - Representative August Pfluger introduced a Congressional Review Act (CRA) to nullify the Biden Administration's U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service final rule listing the dunes sagebrush lizard as "endangered" under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Listing the dunes sagebrush lizard under the ESA is an incredible threat to energy production in the Permian Basin. Pfluger also introduced the Limiting Incredulous Zealots Against Restricting Drilling (LIZARD Act) last year, which would have prevented this action.
