NATO leaders in Washington this week are pledging support for Ukraine, but they are also deeply worried about their own long-term security. If Putin ever attacks a NATO country, he’s going to send tanks. And pop a missile barrage over Europe’s cities, just as he did to five cities in Ukraine on Monday. Fortunately, NATO...
The public immolation of President Joe Biden’s personal credibility shoves the media apparatus that propelled him to power into a tough jam. In the past two weeks, everything that was obvious to close observers for the past three years is now in the open: he’s infirm, he’s unfit, he’s unwell. It comes as a surprise...
Parents unhappy with the “woke” propaganda that permeates many publicschoolsmay think they can escape leftist indoctrination simply by using school-choice options. However, “choice” by itself doesn’t guarantee that their children will end up inschoolsthat promote the values they prefer. When it comes tocharterschools, new evidence suggests that many are amplifying, not curtailing, thewokevalues that parents...
I have watched with amazement as some Democrats have responded to President Joe Biden’s obvious mental decline by suggesting Vice President Kamala Harris replace him. As a Republican, I am reminded of Clint Eastwood’s line from his classic “Dirty Harry” films: “Go ahead, make my day.” Democrats will probably lose with President Biden. They will...
In Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale, “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” we find two men in one character: one, a kindly and sociable man, the other a vice-ridden miscreant, and neither knows much of what the other gets up to. Democrats are staring into a similar situation regarding the president, for...
In the two weeks since President Biden’s “Emperor’s Not-so New Clothes” debate, there’s been a concerted movement from some Democratic power centers — donors, media, congressional candidates in swing districts — to convince the incumbent president to choose to give up his reelection effort and allow the Democratic Convention to pick a new nominee. So...
The most insanenews cycle of the Biden presidency took another bizarre twist this week after ABC’s Chief Political Correspondent and anchor of”Good Morning America”and the Sunday political affairs program,”This Week,”George Stephanopolous, decided to respond to a random person’s question filming him on a cell phone while taking a stroll in Manhattan. “Do you think Biden...
PresidentTrump’stax-free tip plan is a stroke of genius that cuts straight to the heart of thetaxissue, making it clear that Republicans are the party of lowtaxesfor everyone. Trump’s proposal would make workers’ tips non-taxable. “I will eliminatetaxesontips for restaurant workers and hospitality workers, and anyone else relyingontips, no moretaxesontips,”Trumpsaid. A restaurant worker holds up a...
The American vice presidency is one of this country’s most enigmatic roles. As stated in the Constitution, the vice president oversees the Senate and assumes the duties of the president in his absence. These two seemingly vague and opaque roles in the Constitution leave each modern American president to determine how they want their vice...
“Donald Trump is the best interview in the world.” I’ve interviewed former President Donald Trump more than twenty times over the past eight years. I made the above observation early in the 2015-16 cycle, and it is still true. My most recent interview of the former (and I hope future) president produced a lengthy exchange...
