Will Iran carry through its threat to inflict “harsh punishment” on Israel for the deaths of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr? The fact that we even have to ask the question can be blamed on what has led to so much of the current instability in the Middle East: the Biden-Harris administration’s...
The selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as the vice-presidential nominee for Kamala Harris checks a number of important boxes for the Democratic nominee and is likely to draw none of the controversy that, on the Republican side, has been attracted by JD Vance or might have attached itself to Pennsylvania Gov.

Democratic vice presidential candidate and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is a normal guy. I say this as a former Republican representative who served with Tim in Congress. In these times of bitter political division, America needs someone who can calmly and humbly serve the nation without all the unnecessary shouting and bluster that too often...
It is unusual for the fireman to actually pull the fire alarm, but that is exactly what Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch has done in his new book, co-authored with Janie Nitze: “Over Ruled: The Human Toll of Too Much Law.” Readers familiar with the excesses of the “Administrative State” will not be particularly surprised...
