Joe Biden’s pro-migration border chief says the “core founding principle” of the United States is “equity,” and that he is building an immigration system built on “equity.”“It is all about achieving equity, which is really the core founding principle of our country,” Alejandro Mayorkas declared at a meeting hosted by Al Sharpton’s National Action Network.“We, as a Department of Homeland Security [DHS], are your Department of Homeland Security as much as anyone else’s and we need to live that in the equity that we demonstrate,” he told the mostly black audience.

A quick search of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution doesn’t find the word “equity” anywhere…

Equity is only achieved with death. That Mayorkas would declare it a "core founding principle" shows he's either so ignorance of our founding principles, he should be immediately removed from his position or he counting on the American people's ignorance of those principles to sell them his claptrap.

Equal outcome is not anywhere in our Declaration of Independence nor in our Constitution. Equal opportunity is. Opportunity and outcome are not the same. Everyone has the opportunity to be successful, not everyone will be successful. That is life in the USA. Written on paper by our Founding Fathers. It's up to us to ensure that equal opportunity remains and equal outcomes are not guaranteed, but everyone can try. Equal outcomes equal tyranny by a few.

Mayorkas may be right about it, but he seriously misspelled EQUALITY. ''Equity'' is an mortgage banking term; but the DHS guy and the BLM wymmen just usurped it and changed the meaning.

Sovereignty, work and merit when equity and affirmative action enter the room it's gone. You would not have any of these liberal arguments if someone applied themselves with hard work and advanced on their merit to achieve. You think Mayorcus would have said this to Castro? I don't know how Cuba even wallowed along for all the years it has.

Our Founding Fathers weren't fools. They knew perfectly well the difference between equality and equity. And deliberately chose equality. Equality is something man can strive for - imperfectly perhaps. Equity is destiny!

Even if I agreed with the equity argument, that doesn't mean it applies to everyone in the world who wants to come into this country. Mayorkus is a US official, not a member of the UN. One more thing. If these immigrants started to vote Republican, the equity argument would be gone in a New York minute.

Equity, in the parlance of the Left, is synonymous with Fair. These terms are always subject to interpretation, and to most people's way of thinking, Life is not Fair, it what you make of it.

Donald Trump held a rally in North Carolina on Saturday night, but it wasn’t the normal theatrics and hilarity that the former president delivers that made the biggest impression. Rather, it was an endorsement that seems to have come out of nowhere, and I’ll go so far as to say it may be his worst ever (yes, worse than Morgan Ortega) — at least as a Republican politician. Honestly, I know some people take umbrage with anyone ever questioning Trump’s decision-making, but this is truly a head-scratching moment. I’m not sure offering endorsements to people based on them being on TV for a long time is the best strategy.

National Review’s Kevin Williamson is urging conservatives to divorce, or at least, separate, for a time, from the Republican Party -- that is, from the Donald Trump-led Republican Party. In a recent column, Williamson claims that what he calls “sensible conservatives” twenty years ago or so “could take a realistic, instrumental view of the GOP and find it reasonably useful for our ends.” But not today. Not when the Republican Party consists of “vulgar” populists and “infantile” nationalists who loathe free trade, free speech, the U.S. military, and libertarians.

Take the jab or the boy gets it. That’s essentially the message the Cleveland Clinic is sending to the parents of 9-year-old Tanner Donaldson, who will soon need a kidney transplant. He was born with a rare birth defect, posterior urethral valves (PUV), a condition that caused irreversible kidney damage in utero and resulted in stage 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD). Dane Donaldson, Tanner’s father, told PJ Media that his son’s kidney function is currently between 15-20%, but his numbers have been ticking up lately, so they feel he is nearing the time when a transplant will be necessary. They’ve known since birth that Tanner would eventually need the transplant
