Trump and white supremacist haters: He's delivering much more than words.
“Voting against Donald Trump at this point is really treason to your heritage.”
These were the words spoken by former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke when he threw his support behind Donald Trump in February 2016 and urged other white Americans to do the same.
Duke’s show of support was a turning point in the Trump campaign, sparking a slew of endorsements from leaders of the white supremacis... |

Shakespeare meets Keystone Kops at the Trump White House: Mastio & Lawrence.
Jill: We can’t say we didn’t see it coming. Someone got forced out of the Trump administration, and it wasn't the communications director who unleashed an epic string of vulgar insults against the White House chief of staff that ended up in The New Yorker because the communications director didn't go off the record.
No, the banished one was the hapless chief of staff, Reince Priebus. All that's... |

4 good reasons Trump shouldn't scrap the Iran nuclear deal or goad Iran to pull out
President Trump has certified for the second time that Iran is in compliance with the 2015 nuclear accord that limits its nuclear program. But the leaks and background briefings surrounding his statement, followed by new sanctions announced Tuesday, sent unmistakable signals: The decision was taken grudgingly, Trump is increasingly unhappy with Iran and the deal, and he may be looking for a way ou... |

Don Jr. Russia emails trap Trump and his whole circus. They have no good choices.
By releasing a damning email exchange from last year revealing his own eagerness to take help from the Russian government to elect his father, Donald Trump Jr. has brought us to a watershed moment. One of the dikes blocking public understanding of the story line of potential collusion has given way. A flood of further incriminating evidence is now almost certain to follow.
President Trump is in... |

Private sector has health care cures, if we'd only get out of its way: Steve Forbes
Who knows what — if anything — Senate Republicans will do about health care reform.
But there is a fundamental truth that is being overlooked in all the hyperbolic rhetoric over Medicaid, mandates, subsidies, accessibility and taxes: Free markets would turn our ailing healthcare system into a dynamic, innovative cornucopia of better and ever more affordable care for all of us. We'll see if Wash... |

James Comey is no showboat
“I wonder what her story is,” FBI Director James Comey said to no one in particular as our motorcade rolled through Lower Manhattan, past an elderly woman on a bench embracing a swaddled child.
“Everyone has a story and I bet her story is incredible.”
This was not an unusual musing from our now departed leader — a giant of a man with an even bigger heart, whose focus was always on trying to ... |

Was Obama administration illegal spying worse than Watergate?
In 1972, some employees of President Nixon’s re-election committee were caught when they broke into the Democratic National Committee headquarters to plant a bug. This led to Nixon’s resignation and probably would have led to his felony prosecution had he not been pardoned by his successor, Gerald Ford.
But if a single bugging of the political opposition is enough to bring down a presidency — a... |

President Trump should move U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem
When he visits Israel on Monday, President Trump will be in a nation on edge about a decision he needs to make by June 2. He has the opportunity to right a historical wrong by advancing international recognition of Jerusalem, the biblical capital of the Jewish people, as the capital of the State of Israel.
Although Israel had declared Jerusalem its capital soon after the country achieved indepe... |

Trump protest marches are getting old: Column
Living in the nation’s capital has its advantages. I get to see national landmarks so constantly that I am annoyed when people ask me to take them to the Lincoln Memorial. It also desensitizes me to every march, protest or strike of the day. Two weeks ago it was the March for Science, last week it was The Great March for Climate Change (I believe there was a little duplication there, but cool) and... |
