By: Deirdre Shesgreen – usatoday.com – November 20, 2018 President Donald Trump on Tuesday delivered a full-throated defense of Saudi Arabia and cast doubt on a U.S. intelligence assessment that the kingdom’s crown prince knew about the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. “It could very well be that the crown prince had knowledge of this tragic event –...

By: George T. Conway III & Neal Katyal – washingtonpost.com – October 30, 2018 Sometimes the Constitution’s text is plain as day and bars what politicians seek to do. That’s the case with President Trump’s proposal to end “birthright citizenship” through an executive order. Such a move would be unconstitutional and would certainly be challenged.

(He said that...

By: Victor Davis Hanson – amgreatness.com – October 28th, 2018 A “caravan”—the euphemism for a current foot-army of more than 10,000 Central Americans—of would-be border crossers has now passed into Mexico. The marchers promise they will continue 1,000 miles and more northward to the U.S. border, despite warnings from President Trump that as unauthorized immigrants they will be turned away....

By: Victor Davis Hanson – nationalreview.com – October 25, 2018 For progressives, the looming midterm elections apparently should not hinge on a booming economy, a near-record-low unemployment rate, a strong stock market, and unprecedented energy production.
