In each case, American blood and treasure were spent; and in each case, a lack of reliable intelligence played a great role. CIA officers are, needless...

What notion of human dignity should inform...

One of the easiest ways to increase public cynicism about elections is to change the rule book to make the laws governing how we vote more vague and less rigorous. "Reforms" have been passed amid claims they would increase voter turnout. They haven't - but they have made it easier to commit absentee ballot and other fraud. In this explosive broadside, John Fund exposes the new package of reforms being pushed by Obama and liberals in Congress. First,...

Whether you love him or hate him, there's no question that Trump gained a huge amount of support for his willingness to criticize the media in harsh and unsparing terms. The media seems baffled by the fact that it's lost the trust of the American people. It has responded by being extraordinarily defensive and doubling down on histrionic attacks....

Obama rejects as an unnecessary sacrifice of our ideals the stern measures adopted by his predecessor,...
