John Kasich and six other governors offered good advice to the Senate leadership last week on how to advance repair of the Affordable Care Act. The Ohio governor and his counterparts from Colorado, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada and Pennsylvania reminded that "true and lasting reforms are best approached by finding common ground in a bipartisan fashion."
The pliable Republican senator from Florida and the deranged president of the United States now get along. It was only a bit more than a year ago that they were hurling verbal spitballs at one another.
In one of the latest examples of our information crisis, CNN took a story this week about how a friend of Donald Trump said after a meeting at the White House that he thought the president was considering firing Robert Mueller. Then the network sloppily repackaged the story so it could report that Trump was, in fact, thinking about terminating the special counsel.
A Republican special counsel who hires a handful of Democrats is biased? Ridiculous. Trump surrogates might as well object that Mueller and Democrat John Kerry went to the same prep school.
It would be very surprising if North Carolina Democrats didn't make significant gains in the next election for General Assembly - whenever that may be. Normally, we'd be talking in the summer of 2017 about legislative elections to be held in the fall of 2018.
Two of Mueller's investigators gave the maximum $2,700 to Hillary Clinton last year, while another worked for the Clinton Foundation. No one could view them as impartial.
Napoleon is often credited the military axiom, "Never interfere with an enemy while he's in the process of destroying himself." President Woodrow Wilson adapted it to, "Never attempt to murder a man who is committing suicide."
In the matter of immigration, mark this conservative columnist down as strongly pro-deportation. The United States has too many people who don't work hard, don't believe in God, don't contribute much to society and don't appreciate the greatness of the American system.
In January 2016, the Iran Deal strengthened the world's belief in diplomacy. The union forged between the United Nations Security Council states, Germany, the European Union, and Iran promised to create a more peaceful world, providing sanctions relief for Iran in exchange for the scaling back of its nuclear program.
Earlier this month, President Donald Trump announced the United States would withdraw from the historic Paris Agreement on climate change even though his own administration was deeply divided on the decision. Trump had promised during the campaign to “cancel” the agreement, in part because he and the Republican Party so strongly oppose the climate change policies President Barack Obama put in place.
Niall Ferguson says the attempted murder of Republican congressmen at a baseball practice in Virginia raises questions about the inflammatory language used by both the left and right in the era of Donald Trump When ghastly events occur, the lawyers ask if an individual or entity was culpable. The politicians, by contrast, ask if some new law is needed to prevent similar events from happening again.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions recently announced new guidelines that will result in a significant increase in the prison population, directing federal prosecutors to seek the toughest penalties possible for nonviolent defendants.
Investigators with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement say the mother of one of two teen boys who disappeared during a fishing trip nearly two years ago showed an "egregious lapse of judgement and failure to exercise due care." In a newly released report obtained by PEOPLE, the FDLE says the actions or lack thereof of Carlson "Carly" Black, mother of 14-year-old Austin Stephanos , "had the effect of culminating in the disappearance of both boys who are now believed to have perished."
This month, the Supreme Court struck down a law that treated unwed mothers and fathers differently when granting citizenship to their children born outside the United States - the requirements for fathers were stiffer. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, authoring a majority opinion joined by five other justices, wrote that the law was based on gender stereotypes that violated the notion of equal protection.
For a frightening instant, it sounded as if Barack Obama, through some twisted stroke of cosmic freakiness, were back in the saddle, but it was only Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe making a fool of himself - and, in emblematic Democratic fashion, crassly refusing to let a crisis go to waste. It should have come as no surprise.
Beginning Friday, June 9, at 6 p.m. to Monday morning, every radio and TV news report led with virtually the same question? "What will Comey say?" Since when do news reports lead off with a question rather than the news itself? It was ad nauseam. Then, it occurred to me that on election night, when the national media began to realize we weren't coronating Hillary Clinton, it began pounding us about all the dreadful things that are about to befall us, our dear country, because of our new President Trump.
