Recent reports of the Department of Justice addressing Google's competitive posture in the online advertising market and the abuses of Obama administration officials in connection with the 2016 election, culminating in the unwarranted prosecution of Gen. Flynn, give me -- and hopefully all readers -- reason for concern. Yes, as a legal matter, these topics should be addressed. But now is not the time.
Why is there so much hatred for President Trump, hatred that started before he was even inaugurated? Was it because he beat Hillary Clinton or because of his many promises -- to build a border wall, bring back jobs from China, cancel the Iran nuclear pact, "drain the swamp" and stop American from becoming a socialist nation? Wasn't it President Obama who, five days before his own inauguration, said that we were five days from 'fundamentally transforming' America? How many knew what that meant? Was Mr. Trump perceived as a threat to this transformation?
Again and again, it is President Trump's quiet, patient modesty that shines through. Especially compared to the suffocating loud-mouthed arrogance of his predecessor.
At a time when huge spending bills marked "coronavirus relief" are easily passing Congress with little scrutiny, poorly run states are asking unscrupulous members of Congress to slip in taxpayer bailouts to rescue them from years of their own fiscal mismanagement.
There's something about gold. Since earliest times it has obsessed mankind like no other element. The ancient Greek legend of the "Golden Fleece" is both myth and fact. The factual side is based on the real practice of prehistoric prospectors in Colchis, part of what would become the modern-day Republic of Georgia.
As the coronavirus continues to spread, it's become clear how much disease management is dependent on the quality of Chinese manufactured medications and personal protective equipment.
Are prices going to soar or are they going to collapse as a result of the ongoing economic chaos? There are economic "experts" making the case for a coming deflation while others argue that a great inflation is coming.
The latest bank-breaking measure to narrowly pass the House (even some Democrats voted against it) is a $3 trillion package styled "coronavirus relief." It is more than 1,800 pages long.
More than 30 million Americans, nearly a fifth of the U.S. labor force, filed for unemployment benefits since mid-March in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a shocking and scary figure, and the property casualty insurance industry understands the urgency of helping businesses and individuals in Washington, D.C., and across the country recover from this crisis.
Pakistan, India and the people of Kashmir face a common and deadly threat in COVID-19. This is not the time for warmongering.
Why are churches waiting for government permission? Show some gumption. If the concern is the coronavirus -- well, perhaps that's a failure of faith. For that, read Numbers, about Moses and the snake. But if the concern is the government, to include police -- well, perhaps that's a failure to put God first. That's a failure of fear.
China is so deeply involved in the U.S. economy and brazen in its aggression that our ability to deal with the threats it poses is uncertain.
Rory McIlroy on the greens. NASCAR drivers turning left. It was nice to have a familiar view from the couch Sunday. But if we want so desperately for the four major leagues to resume, we must admit that sports for the rest of 2020 will be TV-only experiences.
Fantasy has its place, but it's not the courtroom. With more than a full share of unlikely twists, the case against former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn for lying to the FBI has lost a line of sight with reality. When the legal process carries prosecution of a citizen beyond the bounds of common sense, Americans sense instinctively that the system is out of whack. For the law to be respected, the law must be just.
The #MeToo movement, like the flash mobs greeting the Trump administration's announcement of immigration restrictions, are examples of an "epidemic of ideas" -- a swift-moving notion of a problem started by an influential few.
Should President Trump's deportment be the overriding political issue of the coming election? Wouldn't a comparison of what his opponent has done and plans to do for American citizens make for more valid and beneficial criteria?
Is there any serious reason why former President Obama should not be subpoenaed to testify before the Senate committees investing those 39 "unmaskings" of retired Lt. Gen. Flynn's name in classified intelligence documents?
Over the course of his ministry, whose radio program is called "Let My People Think," Ravi Zacharias has gone around the world, debating all comers, from militant atheists to Hindus, Buddhists and Muslims
This is red-flag-waving, alarm-call-clanging, sound-the-troops-and-play-the-trumpet warning time for freedom-loving Americans. The chance for socialism to spread its rot, using COVID-19 as cause, is real.
As the COVID-19 crisis suggests, President Trump is changing U.S. foreign policy toward China and much more.
