In a week filled with giant news surprises, I find myself once again surprised that former President Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick wasn’t more surprising.In the end, the bread crumbs were real, not some reality-show head fake, as Trump chose 39-year-old Republican Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio to be his running mate. The young senator,...
The radical anti-borders contingent insists that illegal aliens commit crimes at a lower rate than U.S. citizens and legal immigrants. On its face, that assertion is false.

The“Morning Joe”crew was pulled off the air on Monday after MSNBC opted for breaking news coverage instead. “Given the gravity and complexity of this unfolding story, NBC News, NBC News NOW, and MSNBC have remained in rolling breaking news coverage since Saturday evening,” a network spokesperson said in a statement. “As we continue to cover...

A new Wall Street Journal poll of academic and Wall Street economists finds that most believe that President Biden would do a better job holding down inflation, the debt and interest rates than former President Trump. This is a patently ridiculous conclusion that says more about the state of economics than it does about Trump...
President Joe Biden rightly argues that the world’s democracies are now pitted against a bloc of autocracies led by Beijing and Moscow. This strategic precept was the basis of the Pentagon’s NationalDefenseStrategy during my tenure. What we described then as Great Power Competition has evolved into outright conflict in Ukraine and increasing Chinese belligerence in...
The Republican National Convention is a huge, sprawling, multi-day event. Thousandsof delegates and alternates – and even more thousands of spectators, news media, donors, activists and support people – will be there. There are hours of speeches for four straight days culminating in the nomination of the party’s candidate for president. This process began in...
