The ever-prolific Juan Williams just published a piece in The Hill, bemoaning the possibility of another Trump appointment to the Supreme Court and the expected successful confirmation of a constitutionalist nominee, shepherded through by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). “In the age of Trump,” Williams begins, “I remain an optimist.” I, too, am an
Editor's note: The Washington Post and other news outlets on Friday reported that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been treated again for pancreatic cancer. "It was the second treatment for cancer in nine months for the court’s oldest member and leader of its liberal wing," the Post story notes. "The 86-year-old had a lobe of
I am an immigrant. I want Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) to go back to the shithole country she came from. And I want her to stay there. I spent some time on the Internet looking for even one positive thing that Omar has said about America—but my search was in vain. Omar hates

With the first Democratic presidential primary debate over, the torpedoes have struck, the crew has reporters on speed dial, and as the ship is leaking like mad, the ship’s captain doesn’t have a clue what happened.

African natives use a simple method to catch monkeys: take a heavy jar with an opening just large enough for the monkey to fit in his hand. Place a banana inside the jar so the monkey can see it. The rest is easy: the monkey puts his hand into the jar—but with the
