Coronavirus Crisis and Opportunity
President Trump has turned a public health challenge into an invitation for more temperate political discourse that his opponents will continue to scorn at their peril.
The Greatest Fear Is Fear Itself

Trump Does Not Threaten Europe’s Sovereignty, He Asks Them to Embrace It
In elaborating the sovereignty of Europe, there is no substitute for the Europeans; Germany cannot be governed from the White House and should not wish to be. It is time for the Germans and French to remember how respectable Great Powers govern themselves and discharge their obligations as allies.

After Nevada, The Real Race Comes Into View
It’s a bare-knuckles fight between Trump, Bloomberg, and Sanders now.
The Bloomberg Is Off the Rose
The former New York City mayor remains the Democrats’ best bet, but his bantam rooster-moneybags routine is off to a rocky start and at this point he is no match for Trump and his army of supporters and strong record in office.
In Defense of FDR
Instead of demonizing Roosevelt, intelligent conservatives should wrench him away from the Left.
Conventional Wisdom About the Democrats’ Primary Is Wrong
Commentators are scrambling to decide which candidate—Sanders, Buttigieg, or Bloomberg—has the advantage on Super Tuesday. They’re not seeing things clearly.
Never Mind the Democrats, Trump Is the Man to Beat
Since the last election right up to the present, there has been the widespread view that Trump is an easy president to defeat. He isn’t, and barring something completely unforeseen, he won’t be defeated.
Failure of the Democrats’ Bloodless Assassination Attempt
The Democrats will have to give up their pretense of playing moral custodians of the national virtue against a monster who has usurped and abused power. They will have to try to find a presentable nominee from the puny harvest of their declared candidates to run against the incumbent fair and square.
Democrats Must Live with Consequences of Their Foolish Impeachment Farce
It’s showtime. Let the fools’ carnival of unfeasible candidates elevate the designated Democratic piñata for this successful if edgy president to hammer through the election campaign.
A Contemptible Tissue of Lies Surrounds Impeachment
Impeachment is just an effort to strengthen the Democrats as they make the uphill battle to persuade the voters to evict President Trump next year for confected moral turpitude, since he can’t be challenged on his accomplishments in office.
After the British Elections: Making the Anglosphere Great Again
In a word, the hackneyed nonsense of recent decades about the post-Reagan-Thatcher decline of the Anglo-Saxons—beloved of the Chinese, French, Russians, Arabs, and Iranians—is shown, yet again in modern history to be bunk.
Trump ‘Disdainers’ Are Worse Than the Haters, But Equally Irrelevant
Trump is rising in the polls and has told the haters and the disdainers alike to stuff their complaints, bring on the impeachment burlesque, and he will see his enemies on Election Day.

It was a great generation, certainly—and largely because great leaders enabled it to be so.
The Cacophonous Fantasyland of Anti-Trump Hysteria
Right now, and for the last three years, the American public square has been a cacophonous fantasyland and the president’s enemies have been somnambulating. If it comes to it, they will awaken themselves on Election Day, but such a climate of artificially incited hatred will not vanish quickly.
A Shameful Abuse of Congressional Power
The sleazy Schiffite proceedings at the House Intelligence Committee were so lopsided, arbitrary, and contemptuous of the rights of the Republican minority on the committee and of the president as the investigated party, no American court could possibly accept a requested prosecution that emerged from such a tainted proceeding.
Americans Should Demand an End to This Impeachment Absurdity
There was never a legal basis to it and there is no longer even an entertainment justification for it. It merely makes the United States appear ridiculous—to itself and to the world.
The Democrats Won’t Find a Savior in Michael Bloomberg
The former New York City mayor should not imagine the country is waiting for him, or that the anti-Trump sniggering of the Upper East Side and the Hamptons has the least connection to the broader American electorate.
