Some Democrats in Congress continue to further sully the image of America’s federal lawmakers, falling over themselves in their intramural competition to see who can behave most unconscionably on border protection.
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.
The worst abortions opponents, the ones who give pro-lifers a bad name, are the ones who stand safely away from the pregnant woman, shouting righteously and defiantly of the need to protect the unborn and preserve the sanctity and save the innocence and so forth -- then go home and pat themselves on the back for jobs well done.
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.
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 death stare gave it away. As President and Mrs. Trump greeted the Obamas and Clintons at the funeral of former President George H.W. Bush, Hillary Clinton nodded coldly to the first lady and then glared straight ahead rather than acknowledge Mr. Trump. Two things became immediately evident: 1) she's still in bitter denial about losing to him; and 2) she's back.
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."
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.
Liberal Russophobia has become a powerful force responsible for deterioration of U.S.-Russia relations.

Fired former FBI Director James Comey is at it again.
President Trump's decision to yet again negotiate with China, instead of imposing across the board tariffs, will empower his critics and undermine American prosperity.
Last week, federal prosecutors in Washington and New York filed sentencing memorandums with federal judges in advance of the sentencings of Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen. President Donald Trump's former campaign manager and his former personal lawyer had pleaded guilty to federal crimes, and the memorandums, which are required by the federal rules of criminal procedure, set forth the prosecutors' desired prison sentences for them.
Twenty-one years after the death of director Frank Capra in 1991, his son, Tom, opened a box of his father's possessions. Inside were two very different manuscripts, both written in 1966 with edits made in 1968. Rejected by Hollywood, unable to find a studio for his films, it seems Mr. Capra was still telling stories on his typewriter up in the High Sierras. And boy, did he have some stories to tell.
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.
