The pursuit of the truth seemed to be subordinate to the objectives of a few members of the media, who provided ample fodder for the president's constant criticisms of "fake news."

The president's trip appears to have been something of a triumph, even in the eyes of his typical detractors.

It's a strategy that makes sense ahead of the 2020 election.

Pelosi and others dismissed Trump’s threat to abandon bipartisan legislation if the investigations continue as it a temper tantrum. Maybe. Or maybe we it was an incredible act of political jujutsu.

Switching to vaping can help smokers quit altogether. The FDA shouldn’t be fighting them. It should be helping. 

Will we stand by, as we did in Hungary, or intervene if forces loyal to Maduro begin arresting and executing people en masse?

The future of free elections and our system of government may depend on it.

To call what went on ahead Attorney General William Barr’s press conference a “feeding frenzy” would be an insult to vultures tearing apart fresh carrion by the roadside.

And as for those in the GOP who are cheering as Biden fumbles, shame on you.

Efforts like the one led by Alyssa Milano may backfire in a big way.

The folks leading Trump’s defense will do well to remember they did not just win the war. They may not even have won the battle.

If the court really did need to be expanded, it could be expanded now. But the Democrats want to win elections first—so they can pack it with their justices.

For Pelosi, now and moving forward, the tail is wagging the dog.

Conservatives seem to have replaced principled debate with fear-mongering—but they need a much more comprehensive set of ideas to move ahead.

The president’s options are virtually limitless, and the Democrats’ whining about constitutionality is nonsensical.

Washington is the model of the citizen-statesman that most every one of those who followed him into the nation’s highest office has sought to emulate.

The same is true of GOP Rep. Steve King—If nothing else, resigning as congressman to save your state's Senate seat should be a no-brainer.

Who blinked this week—Trump, Pelosi, or maybe Kamala Harris?

Trump will be far tougher to beat in 2020 than in 2016.

By refusing to negotiate with Trump, Pelosi is hurting her base.

The lazy trope of Conservatives hating fun, women, and women having fun was all too easy for liberal media to fall back on.

Not all efforts to combat voter fraud equal voter suppression.

Most people don’t find the idea there’s a “deep state” credible. But too many overlook the problem caused by the permanent government of Washington bureaucracy.

Pelosi will last a term or two, but the pressure is mounting.

If Trump or acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker want to fire Mueller, it’s their prerogative to do so—and it’s up to the voters to render the final judgment.

The people are taking up sides. The people are polarizing. Why should anyone be surprised the politicians are doing likewise?

It appears more of the country (among likely voters) are happier with Trump in charge than they were with Obama.

There’s no “big, blue wave” waiting to sweep the Republicans out and the Democrats in come November.
