Given the seemingly diffident affair that is the Trump reelection effort to date, I have been asked by a variety of friends and enemies whether there is hope of the president winning reelection.
Not near enough critical discussion has been had about what it would really be like to have a Joe Biden administration in Washington.
Police oversight boards, also known as civilian oversight boards or police accountability boards, have gained popularity in recent years, with a tremendous surge in the last month-and-a-half.
Every American taxpayer should be outraged that the Trump administration and the U.S. Department of Transportation have been asked to consider bailing out yet another failed high-speed rail project.
When we discovered in 1945 the atrocities that reigned during the Holocaust, we pledged: “Never again.” Now we have a chance to act on that promise. Chinese officials are attempting to suppress the population of the Uighurs.
At the risk of sounding sexist, I’ve put Miss Bowser and a few other female mayors on the spot because of the violence this past holiday weekend — a weekend when family, food and fun posed what? A triple threat?
My imprisonment caused serious disruptions for my family. I was no longer able to provide the financial and emotional support they needed.
Let’s get something clear right now: China, more than any other country, is the greatest threat to American security, well-being and way of life.
This summer in America, we are approaching the end of a civilized and free society as we have known it.
Kanye West is a billionaire -- and not the quiet kind. The loud, look-at-me, I've got a billion bucks to my name kind. The bragging, boasting, I-just-confirmed-a-deal-for-a mega-mansion-in-Wyoming kind. He's also the recipient of a multimillion dollar taxpayer-funded PPP business loan. Call it the great PPP bamboozle.
We were told this was a "movement" to make Black lives matter. We were told this was a movement to reform and improve the police. We were told Black Americans were being targeted and killed indiscriminately and that had to stop. After George Floyd's death, we were told many things with which we agreed.
There are no plans among the partners to try to force Snyder to sell the Washington Redskins, nor does he have any plans to sell the franchise, according to sources.
As of this writing, daily coronavirus case counts are over 30,000, a country-wide level we haven't seen since April. This past Thursday, we set a single-day record of nearly 60,000 new cases. Hospitals in many parts of the United States are exceeding capacity. Many states have hit "pause" on their re-opening plans. Some are re-closing. So, whether we like it or not, it's time to accept that infections are surging. Lord knows what the landscape will look like after the July 4th weekend.
As a life-long Beatles fan, I enjoyed Robert Knight's witty response to the notion that John Lennon's song, "Imagine" become a candidate for our new national anthem ("Left-wing activist wants to replace 'Star-Spangled Banner' with Lennon's 'Imagine,'" Web, July 3). I agree with him that "Imagine" might not be the best choice, since it eschews nationalism. But a composition from Lennon is worth considering. Lennon always loved America. He gained permanent residency in 1976 with hopes of becoming a citizen. It was through Beatles music that many White Americans learned about the marvelous array of Black artists in their own country, from Chuck Berry and Little Richard to Smokey Robinson and Arthur Alexander.
In "How China and Jeff Bezos benefit from BLM protests, businesses burned and monuments destroyed" (Web, June 29) Richard W. Rahn details how, over the past 30 or so years, the Chinese, Russian and Iranian governments have sought to influence American elections through the teaching and passing out of communist materials on college campuses. He indicates that following the money trail of those supporting the publication and distribution of these materials will lead to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and Black Lives Matter.
As you already know, we've descended into full idiocy. The world -- with its cancel culture and PC police, its race riots and pandemic panic -- has gone insane, and there's no end in sight.
Before there were baby boomers there were baby bombers. I was one of them, the cohort of kids who came along just as World War II was ending and the Nuclear Age was beginning.
Winning the small business vote for President Trump shouldn't be that difficult. But, because of President Trump, it is. If he sticks to his policies and downplays his foolishness he would be much more appealing.
There are three things that can be done to improve the lot of African-Americans in the country that only they can do. The rest of us can help and support, but we cannot do it for them.
Donald Trump came to Washington burning with an ardor to achieve things. He did not come with ardor to get along.
What we should be debating now is not whether to continue defending America, but how best to sustain the mission, learning lessons from the wars America has successfully fought in the past.
Shootings in New York City are up an astounding 358 percent. Not a typo. There are now 600 fewer cops on the streets of the city, which have suddenly become a lot more dangerous.
Philadelphia Eagles' wide receiver DeSean Jackson went on social media and posted some outrageous anti-Semitic comments attributed to Adolph Hitler and the response from the collective in the left-leaning media and activist and political worlds was: yawn. Oh Democrats, thy name is hypocrisy. Where is the loud leftist calls for apology?
Hundreds of scientists have joined forces and penned a letter to the World Health Organization chiefs to get an official, authoritative ruling that the new coronavirus is airborne, meaning transmitted by breathing contaminated air. Well, ba dum dum on that. Salt, meet grain. Why should we listen to these charlatans any longer?
Absolving a transgression requires the guilty party to fess up and make amends for the misdeed. Cleaning the slate also means practicing better behavior going forward. With fitting dispatch, disease experts in China and the World Health Organization (WHO) are addressing a fresh health peril brewing in China. Bravo, but these overseers of medical mayhem still owe the world — and the United States in particular — redress for their failures in repelling the current coronavirus pandemic. All should not yet be forgiven and forgotten.
In the past I have opposed a Washington Redskins name change ("With Redskins name change looming, pressure mounts for total rebranding," Web, July 5). However, it is clear that such a change is inevitable. Therefore, I offer two possibilities for a new moniker.
