LOVERRO: No apology necessary after first home win in 13 months
There were about 25,000 in the stands, and about 10,000 of them appeared to be Redskins fans. They were treated to a rare Ghost Town Field win.
SNYDER: Wins, losses don't matter. Now it's about who will stay, who goes
By beating the Detroit Lions on Sunday, 19-16, and snapping a nine-game streak at home, Washington checked off a few boxes that are small in the grand scheme, but possibly building blocks for the big picture.
What today's educational ruling class gets wrong
Education has consequences. Good education has good consequences, and bad education has bad consequences. Education matters.
Iran's real counterrevolutionaries
Nations that give out "free stuff" to their populations in order to keep them quiet face a real problem when the money runs out. Then, the peasants tend to get ugly.
Chick-fil-A takes heat from bullies of the LGBTQ rage mob
Chick-fil-A has long been an oasis for families seeking escape from an ever-colder, cynical world.
Sharing Kanye's journey
"The darker the night, the brighter the stars." So said Dostoevsky, and as the nation gropes through the murky era of recrimination marked by presidential impeachment, Kanye West's invitation to join in his dazzling affirmation of faith is lighting up the buzzsphere. Detractors, perhaps blinded by the light, say it's all about the Benjamins. To the contrary, it's all about new beginnings.
Stifling speech is undemocratic
As an academic and scholar, I was saddened to read of the efforts by some to prevent Ann Coulter from speaking at the University of California, Berkeley ("Ann Coulter 'Adios, America!' speech spurs protests, arrests at Cal-Berkeley," Web, Nov. 21). The essence of democracy is the willingness to hear and debate alternative points of view, regardless of whether we agree with them. Universities, as bastions of academic scholarship and creative thinking, should be the last place on Earth to ban anyone with different perspectives from expressing those perspectives. It is the willingness to conceive of and discuss ideas outside the spectrum of conventional thinking that propels humanity forward. I fear for our society as we dangerously censor and abuse people who disagree with us instead of civilly debating them. This is what happens in fascist dictatorships, not in true democracies.
Truman made best possible choice
While I usually agree with Andrew Napolitano, his claim in "The dangers of a Trump imperial presidency" (Web, Nov. 21) that President Truman "killed hundreds of thousands of innocent Japanese civilians at Hiroshima and Nagasaki" needs context.
How America can still win the race to 5G wireless technology
The Federal Communications Commission has thrown a curve ball into the global race for deployment of 5G -- the much-anticipated fifth generation of cellular and wireless technology.
Impeachment hearings leave Americans hungry for national healing
Forty-five percent of independents said in a survey conducted this week by Emerson College that they're against impeachment of this president -- and that's after a Marquette University poll a conducted couple days earlier found 53 percent of Wisconsin voters want Donald Trump to stay. The takeaway? Voters want the nation to heal.
BOOK REVIEW: 'Under Occupation'
Alan Furst, author of the historical spy novel "Hero of France," returns to France during the period the country was under Nazi occupation in World War II in his latest novel, "Under Occupation."
Warren's wealth tax will not unify Americans
Sen. Elizabeth Warren made another pitch for her "2 cents" wealth tax plan during the fifth Democratic debate in Atlanta on Wednesday night, this time with the added bonus that it would help "build an America that works for the people, not just rich folks."
Divisive Democrats in D.C. City Hall?
Leave it to a D.C. politician to pick up on the far left's scent. As if Ms. Pelosi had handed him a rod and staff, D.C. Council member David Grosso appears to be training for a run against the chairman of the council.
LOVERRO: Manfred, MLB face minefield of problems
The commissioner of Major League Baseball, the former right-hand man to predecessor Bud Selig, is facing a trifecta of major challenges in the coming months -- the Houston Astros' sign-stealing scandal, minor league contraction and labor unrest for the first time in nearly 20 years.
Warren's socialist, health care nationalization plan
The crowded Democratic presidential nomination contest can only be described as a mess, with its candidates offering irresponsible, giveaway proposals that would plunge our nation into decades of debt.
The Democrats' divisive debate
Just as it had been in each of the four previous 2020 Democratic presidential debates, the proposed Medicare For All takeover of the nation's health care and health insurance systems was hotly contested in their fifth face-off Wednesday night in Atlanta.
State Dept. ruined relations
George Kent, deputy assistant secretary at the State Department, alledgedly overheard a July 26 phone call between President Trump and Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland, in which the two discussed investigations that President Trump wanted Ukraine to pursue. Mr. Kent also said Mr. Trump told Mr. Sondland that Mr. Trump didn't care about Ukraine.
Financial 'statement' unlikely
If you believe President Trump will release his financials prior to the election, I shall sell you a used car as new or even a government-financed bridge in New York ("Trump promises to release 'statement' on his finances before electio" Web, Nov. 21). As is true of most billionaires, the finances of Mr. Trump present a picture of legal tax evasion, and in his case a history of failed financial efforts. While neither of these should disqualify him for running for or holding office, their disclosure would remove any picture of invincibility.
Trump, not Obama, gave real aid
Democrats keep focusing on the negative effects of the Trump delay in providing aid to Ukraine, but they forgot that first, when Russia invaded the Crimea region, then President Obama did not offer any real assistance to Ukraine.
