David Frum writes in The Atlantic: Donald Trump’s noisy complaints that immigration is out of control are literally true. Nobody is making conscious decisions about who is wanted and who is not, about how much immigration to accept and what kind to prioritize—not even for the portion of U.S. migration conducted according to law, much...

It's been a good 2015 at iSteve. If I kill myself blogging all the way through 12/31/15, I might reach 10,000,000 pageviews for the year, which would be a gratifyingly round number. On the other hand, because my traffic goes up when terrible and stupid things happen in the world, for the sake of Christmas... Read More

Thanks to you all, this blog continues to set new records for readership and comments. Over the last week, for example, I've approved approximately 3,310 comments. One interesting aspect of the success of iSteve is how old school this operation is. This is unapologetically an old-fashioned blog for readers with long attention spans rather than... Read More

I want to thank those kind readers who have spontaneously sent me money today without my even asking. So, this seems like a good time to kick off my end-of-year fundraising drive.

I vowed to my wife last year that I'd get on a schedule of four fundraising drives per year. As usual, though, I'd rather blog for you than deal with workaday issues, so it took me until May to get the first one off the ground for 2014. I want to thank everybody who made... Read More

I'm not sure what I'm aiming at you in this picture -- perhaps the controller for my new wire-guided tank (the big tank, not the little tank to the left of the tree).A few days ago, we mulled over the musical question raised by Sudden Death of Stars: What Is Winter Good For?�Yet the answer...
