  DEMOCRAT/PROGRESSIVE DEBATE -- FLAWED, UNQUALIFIED, DISHONESTY By Michael Wilson ·   I watched the last two hours of the DP debate. A penance for some sin of omission or commission, don'tcha know? I came away depressed (in addition to being bored to tears.) I can accept, and publicly state for the record, that Trump's proposed solutions to our nation's woes and travails are fantasies that have no chance of being implemented in the real world.

In both instances, there is evidence of jihadist radicalization and Muslim terrorism - although the media and the authorities have been more than careful to withhold final judgment. We have an administration that has, or intends to, let in tens of thousands of r...
