By: John Zmirak – stream.org – September 6, 2018 I just read the op-ed by “Anonymous” in the New York Times, revealing the “secret” that some of President Trump’s own people have been flouting his legal authority. We’ve known it all along. The administration of our duly elected president, Donald Trump, is honeycombed with people who have no business working...

By: Matt Vespa – townhall.com – September 6, 2018 For liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans, it’s an easy choice regarding the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Both sides have made up their minds weeks before these hearings, which have devolved into total clown shows, started this week. With former Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl being tapped to serve the...

By: David French – nationalreview.com – September 5, 2018 We hear a lot about norms these days. We live in a time when alleged pre-existing norms of decency, civility, and respect are being cast aside for the sake of “winning.” The ends justify the means, and a dignified loser is just that: a loser. There is a real sense that...

Woodward’s latest book, Fear, is focused on the Trump White House and is set...

By: Brian Naylor – npr.org – September 4, 2018 The first day of Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings was long on quarreling, protesting and speechifying. While good theater, there was little actually learned about the man whom President Trump has nominated for a lifetime seat on the nation’s highest court. Here are a few takeaways from Tuesday’s often...

By: John R. Lott, Jr. – townhall.com – September 3, 2018 Politicians at Senator McCain’s funeral were bemoaning the loss of civility in politics, and Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing this week for the Supreme Court surely promises to prove that. There definitely has been a decline in political civility in recent years. Some say it started with Robert Bork’s...

By: Ken Blackwell – stream.org – September 3, 2018 Spoiler alert: it’s easy to predict much of what will happen this week during the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. That’s because Democrats showed their hands almost immediately after Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement from the Court, when Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) took to the...

By: Victor Davis Hanson – nationalreview.com – August 30, 2018 It’s time to stop the stonewalling, redacting, suppression, leaking to the press, and media hysteria surrounding investigations into the 2016 election. Special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation was star-crossed from the start. His friend and successor as FBI director, James Comey, by his own admission prompted the investigation — with the...
