In a scathing August 24 New York Times op-ed, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somali-born feminist, author, scholar and former Dutch parliament member, lamented that the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) “has hit the jackpot” in huge donations in the aftermath of the violence in Charlottesville.
Republicans in Congress return from vacation next week under attack from all sides. They need to put some wins on the boards, and show the country they can govern. They need to pass tax reform.

We thought we were prepared for Harvey. We are not. We live at ground-zero in Houston and the meteorologist said moments ago this is a “once-in-500-year” situation.
