So much for "underaged" or "minor" refugees...
We've known for a long time that many (probably most) of those claiming refugee status at our borders, and those of European nations, aren't really refugees at all. They're economic migrants, desperate to reach a country that can offer them a better life than the hellholes they've left behind. To get in, they'll lie, cheat, and do whatever they have to do to outwit those who are trying to make sure that only genuine refugees get through. Belgium has learned that the hard way. Belgian authorities carried out 2,515 age tests on self-professed underage migrants last year and of... read more

Appreciating Teachers In May
There's a certain irony in parking teacher appreciation in the Month of May when teachers are absolutely hammered and don't even have five minutes to run to the teacher lounge and pick up one of those celebratory donuts that the administration brought. I remember most of my Mays, when the gauzy September promise of "Here are the things we'll get done sometime this year" burned away under a harsh sun of "There are now sixteen class periods left in which to handle this list of 157 objectives." I was never one to count down the days, but I did sit down by May 1 to plot out exactly wh... read more
