Historians often cite two American qualities to explain why the United States and its allies prevailed in the Cold War; military strength and better ideas — such things as the rule of law and freedom for individuals and the marketplace; often called “Soft Power” in shorthand. The ultimate irony in contemporary geopolitics is that Russia and China have studied our use of Soft Power, corrupted it to suit their purposes, and today are well along in using it to win the second Cold War.

President Trump and his national security team have been taking considerable heat from the usual Trump-hating Democrats and many in the mainstream media over cautionary military deployments in response to recent intelligence with respect to Iran. National Security Adviser John Bolton in particular has been called out as looking for a war with Iran, and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has fared little better.

Make no mistake, tariffs don’t help markets or make for lower prices. And, trade wars are no friend to consumers. But, with all the convoluted media analysis flying about, and the lack of apparent benefits to a trade war, why engage in one or more of them at all? Why would the current administration — self-proclaimed protector of all that makes America Great — embark on such a shaky path?

Providence, Rhode Island, was once known as the “Beehive of Industry.” By the time I was growing up there in the 1990s, the city had been firmly relegated to “armpit” status.

National Security Council Chairman John Bolton, according to his detractors, is squirreled away in his White House office salivating at the prospect of military action against Iran. They picture Mr. Bolton as a blood-thirsty warmonger who signed on last April as President Donald Trump’s national security adviser to undermine the president’s belief that sending in the Marines is not the only or even the best way to respond to the actions of nations that disagree with us.

We’re coming ‘round the time when women earned the legislative right to vote in America. And it’s an interesting time in America because abortion is one of today’s most talked-about matters. Is this what suffragists fought to win — the legislative right to abort on demand?

Majors matter more than any other golf tournament. They are not the sole measure of greatness. And that might be one reason it took Brooks Koepka winning four majors - as many as Rory McIlroy, one more than Jordan Spieth among his contemporaries - for the 29-year-old Floridian to get the kind of attention his game deserves.

Nearly half of Americans told Gallup pollsters they'd vote for a socialist candidate for president. Roughly 58% of American adults said they'd vote for an atheist. And 43% said socialism would be a "good thing" for the country, not a "bad thing," Gallup wrote. What the freak, America.

America was founded on the idea that rights come from God, not government. In order to keep this idea in place -- in order to keep America the dream of the free -- Americans must fight for the right to keep God in the public arena. It's the only way to save America from the socialists, and worse.

Pity good ol' Joe Biden. He's eager at last to master the hounds, to impose order in the kennel.

How can he do that and escape with his life, too?

Since 1973, when Roe v. Wade ushered in what would eventually lead to abortion on demand — including partial-birth abortion and even the failure to protect babies born alive after failed procedures — the pro-life movement has achieved few legislative victories.

Sensible people make sure they understand the exit strategy when making an investment. Too often, people lock themselves into investments, like timeshares, vehicle loans, real estate purchases, etc. for far longer than they wish they had. The same is also true for personal service contracts, like exclusive arrangements with agents, movie studios, sports teams, etc.

Talking about regime change in Iran is an exercise in folly. The Iranian government is as complex as that of the United States without any of the virtues of the American system. A strike on the White House that killed any sitting U.S. president would not fundamentally change the course of American foreign policy. We shouldn't expect Iran to be different.

When the winds of change begin to blow, it's hard to predict where the consequences will settle.
