The political-science notion of “unified control by one Party” doesn’t begin to explain it. If the U.S. had a parliamentary system, President Donald Trump’s coalition in Congress would consist of three distinct parties: (1) Economic Nationalists fed up...

There is a word missing from the non-classified report issued Friday, in which three intelligence agencies assess “Russia’s Influence Campaign Targeting the 2016 US Presidential Election.” The FBI, CIA, and NSA elide any mention of . . . “Podesta.” Seems like a pretty significant omission — not just because of how the 2016 campaign played out but also in light of the intelligence community’s...

Lawmakers from both sides will face a big challenge when it comes to deciding what to do about Obamacare, political strategist and Fox News correspondent Karl Rove said Wednesday. “The Republican challenge is that they need to reassure those people who have private insurance on Obamacare that they will be taken care of, and reassure them that they aren’t going...

I believe that, as a...

In this political season, Colin Kaepernick has been the prototypical millennial. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback has made headlines less for his statistics and more for his protests, kneeling during the national anthem to raise awareness of racial injustice. Loud outside the ballot box and absent inside it, Kaepernick has used his freedom to express his frustration but has failed...

Hillary Clinton lost because she took her eyes off the Rust Belt and foolishly tried to “expand the map” into Arizona and Georgia. Clinton lost because she was unlikable and dishonest. Clinton lost because she ran against Donald Trump rather than for something. Clinton lost because 2016 was a “change” election, and she was the candidate of the status quo....

Two weeks ago, he pushed through a permanent ban on offshore drilling in major parts of the Atlantic and Arctic oceans.

“When the chips are down, I have Israel’s back.” — Barack Obama, AIPAC conference, March 4, 2012 WASHINGTON — The audience — overwhelmingly Jewish, passionately pro-Israel and supremely gullible — applauded wildly.
