Donald Trump has a well thought-out immigration program, far better than anything Hillary Clinton ever came up with, and it's not mass deportation for every illegal immigrant in the land. Much was spelled out months ago and a major modification was added later, but now it seems no one has been listening, and so we are having weeping and gnashing of teeth.
President-elect Donald Trump is railing against the very system that will put him in the White House. Without any substantiation, the man who will be president went on a Twitter rant this weekend, saying he would have "won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally."
Even though Donald Trump won the election, he still is questioning the legitimacy of the election. He now claims that there were millions who voted illegally, all apparently for Hillary Clinton .
Breitbart News, under Steve Bannon's leadership, became a website where a confusing mix of real racists and anti-establishment mischief-makers would post hate speech and misogynist memes in the comments of articles such as "Why White People Seek Black Privilege" and "Birth Control Makes Women Unattractive and Crazy." Mr. Bannon then left Breitbart to head Donald Trump's presidential campaign, and now he has been named the chief strategist of Mr. Trump's presidency.
Pope Francis' characterization of worldwide tensions based largely on race and ethnicity couldn't be more on point. The leader of the world's Roman Catholic community labeled it a "virus."
President-elect Donald J. Trump's appointments so far indicate that he has in mind betraying the forgotten people who voted for him. It's no comfort, but in my opinion Hillary Rodham Clinton in office would not have had their interests in mind any more than Mr. Trump apparently does.
Donald Trump's nomination of Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., as attorney general could have dire consequences for Washington state's marijuana industry, for the wishes of the public, and for common sense when it comes to federal drug policy. While Trump said during the campaign that, "In terms of marijuana and legalization, I think that should be a state issue, state-by-state," Sessions is an old-school hard-liner when it comes to drug policy.
That's what President-elect Donald Trump has done by claiming to have won the popular vote after discounting for "the millions of people who voted illegally." Trump offered no evidence of voter fraud, and by so baldly staking a demonstrably false claim he risks damaging the integrity of the very representative democracy that just elected him president.
The annual Halifax International Security Forum brings together senior Canadian, European, and U.S. military and civilian officials, and you can guess what was on everyone's mind this year: To be more specific, the crowd was eager to pump U.S. participants, including a bipartisan delegation of U.S. senators, about whether Trump would turn his back on NATO and cozy up to Vladimir Putin. Many asked whether the president-elect might hold an early meeting with Putin even before getting together with NATO allies - which would send a dangerous signal.
Fidel Castro's death certainly is the end of an era, that of the cult of personality that kept Cubans oppressed and without economic opportunity for decades. For more than half a century, Castro ran Cuba as a communist enclave in the new world.

Fidel Castro's passing removes what was long the single greatest psychological barrier to a warmer U.S.-Cuba relationship. But it also adds to the uncertainty ahead with the transition from an Obama to a Trump administration.
Optimism abounds that the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge will at long last be opened to oil production with the forthcoming Republican control of the White House and Congress.
Over the past three weeks, almost every pundit in the country has developed a Grand Unifying Theory of Donald Trump's Shocking Victory. Casey Quinlan, an education reporter at ThinkProgress, says "many members of the media wanted to consider anything but racism" as the engine of Trump's campaign: " as if it couldn't possibly be so straightforward."
Thousands of Kansans with intellectual and developmental disabilities are languishing on a seven-year waiting list to get services that would allow them to live independently, according to NPR. Kansas officials must address the waiting list with all possible speed, fulfilling our obligation to offer a safety net to our most vulnerable citizens.
As hard as the campaign might have been and the transition is proving to be, Donald Trump's challenges are really just beginning. Governing after a toxic election in which the results awarded him an ambiguous national mandate - his opponent, after all, got more votes - will require finesse, a clear-eyed view of his role in the world, and no small amount of luck.
