  The only thing that’s clear about the current argument about the new White House immigration policy and GOP congressional opposition to it is that both sides’ positions are based on electoral politics, not about the best way to handle immigration into the United States.

  Last Thursday, a unanimous New York jury found former President Donald Trump guilty of 34 felonies after deliberating less than 48 hours and observing Mr. Trump’s refusal to testify in his own defense. The jury found that the former president created false business records to conceal a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels for her silence with the purpose of either influencing the outcome of the 2016 presidential election or defrauding the IRS.

  The Dodgers and Pittsburgh Pirates made four errors – on the scorecard – and enough unmade plays to make it necessary for any responsible parent to cover the eyes of any Little Leaguers on hand. Hung out to dry by the defenses, the pitching was less than picturesque as well.
