Theresa May, who has mismanaged Britain’s exit from the European Union, won her vote of confidence in the House of Commons this week, and now she’s in the hard place the country preacher found himself after winning a vote of confidence to unify his congregation, soothe hurt feelings and make peace with his deacons.
This has been a rough year for news junkies. Today the abundance of sources enables massaging the news to fit personal prejudices and predispositions. It’s the famous slogan of The New York Times, “All the news that’s fit to print” distorted to “All the news that fits our bias, we print.”
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education found in its recent “Spotlight on Speech Codes 2019” that across the country, at 466 of America’s so-called “top colleges and universities,” students are not allowed to fully exercise their First Amendment freedom of speech rights. My, how the pendulum has swung far from the 1960s.
The Trump presidency is entering a perilous new phase with the swearing in of a new, Democratic-controlled House and the uncertainty surrounding investigations by special counsel Robert Mueller and New York prosecutors.
Hell may have no fury like a woman scorned, but scorning the Washington Establishment produces even greater anger.
In the summer of 1964, between my junior and senior years in high school, I sent my first paycheck as a bagboy at the A&P as a contribution to the Barry Goldwater campaign.
Fired former FBI Director James Comey is at it again.
Liberal Russophobia has become a powerful force responsible for deterioration of U.S.-Russia relations.

So Tani Cantil-Sakauye, the chief justice of the Supreme Court of California, has left the Republican Party, in part, because of the backlash from all the sexual allegations that swirled about Brett Kavanaugh, newly confirmed U.S. Supreme Court justice. Well, goodbye and good riddance.
Poor Democrats. They just aren't used to being treated this way. They just aren't used to the fight.
Recently there was a major breakthrough in the early detection of virtually every kind of cancer.
Their meeting with President Trump was not what Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi expected.
I'm not fond of continuation novels, as some writers, like Raymond Chandler, Ian Fleming and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, have a unique style that truly can't be imitated.
So the Democrats stand ready to investigate and, if their conjured-up evidence supports it, pursue the impeachment of President Trump for any imaginable act or omission they can accuse him of having committed.

Mika Brzezinski of "Morning Joe" fame made a tasteless joke about Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as possibly a "wanna dictator's butt-boy" during an MSNBC segment with Sen. Dick Durbin. And much as she apologized, fact is: If Brzezinski were named, say, Tucker Carlson, or Sean Hannity, or Laura Ingraham, today's mainstream media would be filled with expressions of outrage.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer chastised President Donald Trump for his "petty campaign pledge" of building a border wall -- and bam, that's what's wrong with today's batch of elitist politicians. Campaign pledges aren't "petty."
When he says being the Terrapins coach is his dream job, you don't immediately question his sanity. Few new hires would say that -- and even fewer would mean it -- but Mike Locksley appears to be that rare.
