    Have Democrats Overplayed Their Trump Hand?

    Rich Lowry
    It turns out that, with apologies to Nancy Pelosi, Republicans really did have to pass the tax bill so people could find out what’s in it. The GOP has made gains on the generic congressional ballot in recent weeks, …

    President Trump’s Surprisingly Great Poll Numbers

    Jim Geraghty
    Making the click-through worthwhile: some really surprisingly good poll numbers for President Trump and the Republicans, some tough questions about one of the president’s worst hires, Democrats recoil from a familiar figure as a surrogate on the campaign trail …

    A Cure for Trump-Skepticism

    Conrad Black
    A couple of utterances of prominent American public figures recently have reminded us of why the country voted for a complete change in 2016. Former president George W. Bush, speaking in Dubai, violated the custom, until now scrupulously upheld, of a …

    The White House Response to Rob Porter’s Resignation Is Sickening

    Katherine Timpf
    The domestic-violence accusations against Rob Porter are credible and despicable — and the White House’s attempts to diminish them are sickening. In case you’ve been living under a rock, the White House staff secretary was recently accused of …

    Yes, Throw a Parade

    Rich Lowry
    The Pentagon has confirmed that it is in the preliminary stages of planning a military parade down Pennsylvania Avenue — one of President Donald Trump’s fondest desires. Trump was, understandably, impressed in a visit to France last July by the …

    FISA-Gate Is Scarier Than Watergate

    Victor Davis Hanson
    The Watergate scandal of 1972–74 was uncovered largely because of outraged Democratic politicians and a bulldog media. They both claimed that they had saved American democracy from the Nixon administration’s attempt to warp the CIA and FBI to cover up …

    Marching Orders

    Kevin D. Williamson
    There’s volatility in the markets and in the Koreas; in Syria, Assad, with an assist from Putin, is deploying chemical weapons against civilians; in Washington, another government shutdown looms in the near term. President Trump is planning a parade. …

    Trump and the T-Word

    Jonah Goldberg
    I agree with pretty much everything Dan writes below about President Trump’s glib use of the T-word. But I think Dan omits a couple things. First, it’s just different when presidents accuse opponents of treason. I could add …

    The Prosecution Is Weakening

    Conrad Black
    Donald Trump’s critics never imagined that more than a year into his presidency, his approval rating would be rising and just under 50 percent, the economy would be cranking up to a 4 percent growth rate, North Korea would have quieted …

    Is Trump Serious about ‘Treasonous’ Democrats?

    Dan McLaughlin
    By now, we’re all familiar with President Trump’s remarkable gift for saying outrageous things that create controversy entirely for its own sake. These controversies generally feature his liberal critics overreacting by many orders of magnitude and his diehard fans getting …

    Impromptus: When Nixon went Euro, &c.

    Jay Nordlinger
    Last summer, President Trump went to Paris and saw the extravaganza on Bastille Day — all the bells and whistles. Few countries put on a military parade like the French. Trump, of course, decided he wanted a parade of his …

    Michael Cohen: World’s Best Lawyer

    Jonah Goldberg
    The New York Times reports that Donald Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen, told the FEC that he paid the hush money to Stormy Daniels out of his own pocket, without the knowledge of the campaign or his client. As he …

    No, #MeToo Isn’t Going to Chase Trump from Office

    Rich Lowry
    Kirsten Gillibrand, dubbed the #MeToo senator by 60 Minutes, wants President Donald Trump’s scalp. “I think he should resign,” she told the TV program, “and if he’s unwilling to do that, which is what I assume, then Congress should …

    One Journalist, Far Away

    Jay Nordlinger
    Saleh al-Shehi is a prominent Saudi journalist with over a million Twitter followers. On December 8, he went on television and told a simple truth: People with connections to the royal court have an easier time buying certain land than do …

    The DACA Compromise Confusion

    Alexandra DeSanctis
    In the Senate yesterday, John McCain (R., Ariz.) and Chris Coons (D., Del.) introduced a bipartisan plan to extend the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program ahead of its upcoming March 5 expiration. Their bill would grant permanent legal status …

    A Year of Achievement

    Victor Davis Hanson
    As President Trump finished his first full year in office, he could look back at an impressive record of achievement of a kind rarely attained by an incoming president — much less by one who arrived in office as a …

    Does Character Matter?

    Kevin D. Williamson
    Dennis Prager does his level best to argue that Donald Trump’s long history of adultery, dishonesty, and other misbehavior don’t tell us very much about whether he’s a good president or about whether Evangelicals and other Christians …

    A Defense of Evangelicals Who Support Trump

    Dennis Prager
    It is usually easier for an outsider to defend a person or a group that is attacked than for the person or group to defend itself. In that vein, this Jew would like to defend Evangelicals and other Christians who …

    Robert Mueller Is No Ken Starr

    Rich Lowry
    No matter the criticisms directed his way by Republicans, Robert Mueller should count himself lucky: He’s not Ken Starr. The punctilious, mild-mannered independent counsel appointed by a three-judge panel in the 1990s, Starr investigated all manner of Bill Clinton …

    The Nunes Memo Should Be Just the Start

    The Editors
    The Nunes memo has been released and America’s national security has not, as far as we can tell, been irreparably harmed. The campaign waged against the memo as a grave threat to America’s intelligence operations appears completely absurd …
