King Xuan of Zhou ruled China 800 years before Christ. He wasn’t a nice guy. He heard a rumor of a dangerous woman in the town of Jiangshan so he ordered all the women there killed. Du Bo, the Duke of Tangdu, objected so Xuan ordered him killed too.
The Duke, though, said he was coming back. Three years later Xuan had a dream where Du Bo shot him with an arrow. He fell ill and died.
Happy Halloween.
Birthright Citizenship Trump Right Again — President Trump, in an Axios interview released yesterday (Oct. 30), said he may use an executive order to end “birthright citizenship”.
Oh, did the heads spin in the pundit class. Oh, did our feckless political leaders — that’s you Paul Ryan — get vapors.
Birthright citizenship means automatic citizenship for those born in United States. It’s based on the first sentence in the 14th Amendment which says: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.
The political class claims that means if you are born here you are a citizen — even if here illegally.
Consider a married Russian couple working at the Russian embassy. The wife becomes pregnant and gives birth in an American hospital. Is the baby a citizen? LOL. So much for the claim that just being born on U.S. soil makes you American.
Immigration enforcement is vested in the executive branch. If the commonsense understanding of the 14th Amendment is upheld by the courts — granted that is not guaranteed — Trump most certainly can end automatic citizenship for the newborns of illegals.
And he should.

Liberius, the 36th Pope who served from 352-366, is the first pope not be recognized as a saint by the Catholic Church, albeit the Eastern Orthodox Church does.
Anastasius II, the 50th pope (496-498), is the first one nobody recognizes as a saint. Actually, Dante even puts him in Hell but that might be a case of mistaken identity.
