On Monday, The Washington Times carried a short article by Dave Boyer reporting that President Trump awarded Republican Rep. Devin Nunes the Medal of Freedom ("Medal of Freedom goes to Rep. Nunes for 'courageous' efforts to stop 'plot' against Trump," Web, Jan. 4). The medal is well-deserved.
California and New York are considered by the Democrats and their fellow travelers on the left as the perfect petri dishes with which to experiment with policy and legislation.
Many Americans still have serious concerns about the integrity of the vote in this election, and rightly so.
To hear the mainstream media and bleeding-heart liberals tell it, Republicans who plan to object to Electoral College votes in the 2020 presidential election are all but committing treason.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov made observations that some Western countries are using India to engage in their anti-China policy by promoting the Indo-Pacific strategy.
In addition to all the hardships and dispiriting consequences of COVID-19, this time of year presents the least daylight and earliest sunsets.
The Roman emperor and philosopher Marcus Aurelius stated, "Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth." What we observe to be reality is not reality, but our perception of it.
The challenges facing what we used to call, with pride and confidence, the Free World are daunting. Illiberal authoritarians of various stripes are increasingly assertive and audacious.
This is not a "dire prediction" because we will recover from Joe Biden's more generalized failure as a president, but it could be quite a painful process for us to get back on the political track.
At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, accurate and available testing, therapeutics and a vaccine were only faint hopes over the distant horizon.
Linda Greenhouse was once The New York Times' reporter for the U.S. Supreme Court. Now I take it she is in retirement, though she apparently comes out of retirement from time to time to heave bouquets to President-elect Joe Biden.
There comes a time when things get so bad that even those without faith, even those who don't normally pray, even those who don't consider themselves believers in a higher power -- when things go so far south that even these secular types turn to God and ask for help. It's in these desperate conditions America now stands.
Energy seeks an outlet, and political energy is no different. Throngs of thousands rallied on tarmacs across the nation -- sometimes steamy, other times frigid.
On Dec. 31, Fox News' Lou Dobbs had senile Joe Biden referring to his vice presidential pick as President-elect Kamala. Ms. Harris herself refers to her own presidency. Is this a Freudian slip or just evidence of Sleepy Joe's confusion?
Life will never get back to normal unless the people make it happen. This disgusting slogan, "It's for your safety," is the very term our fascist governors, other corrupt politicians and lying doctors use day in and out. Are we going to cower every time a new virus breaks out? Are you going to live in fear or freedom? Fight these people who have lost their constitutional ways; make their lives miserable as they have made yours miserable. Show up on the streets outside their homes in protest. No longer will we adhere to business restrictions in the name of a virus with a 97% recovery rate. It's way past time to reopen this nation. Only you can make it happen.
In the seventh paragraph of "In-betweenland: As 2020 slips away, an American snapshot" (Web, Dec. 28) Ted Anthony writes that President Trump "persists in his evidence-free insistence that he won the election." I am appalled by this Associated Press writer's irresponsible conclusion.
Having been duly sworn in on Jan. 2, the new D.C. Council should be preparing to wrestle with the No. 1 and No. 2 issues facing the nation's capital: spending and the pandemic.
One of many things that will distinguish a President Joe Biden from his predecessor is that the incoming president is likely to speak less in public, mostly because of how he garbles his thoughts and words.
For years now, Georgia voters have been inspired to political action with calls of "Make America Great Again."
During the presidential campaign, Joe Biden declared he wanted to go back to the Iran deal if Tehran returns to "strict compliance."
