Don’t Bork Gina Haspel
President Donald Trump’s pick for CIA director is about to experience a good Borking.
Trumping the North Korea Naysayers
President Trump will never win. Not with the liberal media, anyway. First they were all over his case for not wanting to meet with North Korea’s dear leader, Kim Jong Un.

If there aren’t atheists in foxholes, why should we put them in the Chaplain Corps?

Hillary’s Hateful Harangue
Hillary Clinton’s abhorrent remarks in Mumbai, India, last week warrant our attention because, like it or not, they represent the thinking of a large swath of the modern Democratic Party.
Deeply Loving Disruptive Walkouts
The leftist-organized wave of school walkouts on March 14 to protest gun violence is a classic example of the way protests are categorized by our news and entertainment media.

Let’s Hope Bannon Never Comes Back From European Tour
One of the things that motivated my old friend Andrew Breitbart was his righteous indignation at being called a racist. That’s a running theme in his book, “Righteous Indignation.”
Trump Needs to Be Clear About One Thing in Meeting With Kim Jong Un
With the nomination and likely confirmation of Mike Pompeo as secretary of state, President Trump will soon have a trusted adviser who can prepare him for his upcoming summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
Democrats Can Take the House, if They Just Pick Conor Lamb Over Hillary Clinton
What if they held a special election and nobody won? That’s more or less what happened in southwestern Pennsylvania, in the special election to fill the vacancy in Pennsylvania’s 18th Congressional District.
Larry Kudlow Is a Big Upgrade for the White House
President Donald Trump will reportedly name Larry Kudlow head of the White House National Economic Council. For fans of pro-growth policies — deregulation, low taxation and open trade — it’s great news for obvious reasons.
