EDITORIAL: Out of the closet: Tehran’s nukes

The latest report from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed what many knew: Iran is trying to build nuclear weapons. The open question is whether America has the will to help stop this illegal and dangerous activity.

Will Foreman holds the speeding tickets he successfully challenged in court. Mr. Foreman ironically used the photos shot by speed cameras to challenge the charge of speeding. He's won five cases and has 40 more outstanding — racked up by drivers for his business, Eastover Auto Supply in Oxon Hill. (Rod Lamkey Jr./The Washington Times)

EDITORIAL: The speed-camera lie

Traditional law-enforcement duties are best performed by men, not machines. This is the case in Maryland, where speed cameras continue to pronounce the innocent guilty, regardless of mounting evidence that the measuring devices are faulty.

EDITORIAL: Occupy America

This isn't your father's America. As promised, President Obama is "fundamentally transforming" the nation with a plan to flood the United States with individuals whose hearts belong to other lands. The message to illegal immigrants is if you can get in and keep out of further trouble, you're welcome to stay. The Land of the Free has become the land of the home-free.

EDITORIAL: Say anything but the truth

It makes sense when a high-ranking U.S. military officer loses his job for publicly criticizing the American president. These days, however, a general can be sacked even for simply speaking the truth about a foreign head of state.

EDITORIAL: Occupy D.C. schools

Washington's public schools have their problems, but the lack of iPads and iPhones isn't anywhere near the top of the list. That didn't stop agitators from setting up a candlelight vigil this weekend at Turner at Green Elementary School in Southeast. They were there to demand additional federal stimulus money be poured into the educational system.

Economy Briefs

The American job market improved modestly in October, and economists looking deeper into the numbers found reasons for optimism, or at least what counts for optimism in this agonizingly slow economic recovery.

EDITORIAL: Create jobs by cutting red tape

Finally some positive economic news: The official unemployment rate dropped one-tenth of a point to 9 percent. It would be cause for celebration, except the gains are far too modest to make any serious dent in the problem of joblessness in America.

EDITORIAL: The job-creation circus

Asian and African aliens are traveling around the country taking American jobs, and one politician wants to put a stop to it. The catch is, the fight is over circus animals.

EDITORIAL: Occupied with violence

Remember when Sarah Palin was accused of promoting "Tea Party violence" because she used an ad graphic depicting crosshairs on a map of the United States? On Wednesday, the Occupy Wall Street movement declared a general strike in Oakland, Calif. According to the Occupy Oakland website, the goal of their "anti-capitalist march" was to "shut down Oakland" and "blockade everything." This was no drawing - the violence was real.

EDITORIAL: What matters in 2012

Within a matter of days, America's national debt will bust through the $15 trillion barrier. When Barack Obama was sworn in as president, the figure was $10.6 trillion. Putting a stop to this uncontrolled growth of government is the most important political issue in 2012.

EDITORIAL: Americans groan

Liberals love to tell other people what to do. America's First Nanny, Michelle Obama, is no exception. Though she admits she can't stay away from French fries herself, that doesn't stop her from lecturing everyone else on what to eat. Now she wants us to spend our money to buy her new book on tips from the White House garden.

The Dulles Toll Road proved its notoriety for traffic congestion. The Northern Virginia Transportation Authority seeks to levy taxes for road improvements that would ease such commuting hassles. (Barbara L. Salisbury/The Washington Times)

EDITORIAL: Georgia’s tolling nightmare

Virginia is sticking stubbornly by its unpopular decision to convert Interstate 95 into one big toll road. The idea is to double-tax drivers from the North Carolina border all the way up to Stafford County and then have high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes take over up to Interstate 395. The commonwealth's residents instinctively know this is a dumb idea.

EDITORIAL: The U.N. suicide vest

The Palestinian Authority's bid for U.N. recognition has substantial downsides, including wrecking the peace process and increasing regional instability. The upside is that it could drive the United States out of the United Nations.

Ban Ki-moon

EDITORIAL: Faint welcome for No. 7 billion

The world welcomed the 7 billionth human being Monday, but not everyone is celebrating. The United Nations believes the Earth's population is climbing too fast, and the delivery stork is jeopardizing the coveted objective of "sustainability."

EDITORIAL: Veterans allowed to rest in peace

America's heroes can once again be laid to rest with appropriate religious services. A federal court last month approved a consent decree in which the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) agreed to drop its ban on prayer and the mention of "God" during funerals and other events at national cemeteries.
