The Democratic Party has gone totally nuts.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: And then they came for me
Anti-Semitism flourishes on both the far right and the far left ("Pittsburgh mourns with Jewish community, says 'hatred will never win out,'" Web, Oct. 28). On the right are the neo-Nazis and their European-style traditional racism. They are small in number and are mostly inconsequential today.
After the North Korea-South Korea summit
After the recent North Korea-South Korea summit, suspension of nuclear and missile tests by the North anticipating an unprecedented meeting with a U.S. president, and after President Trump's successful meeting with French President Macron on the Iran nuclear deal, expectations among many are soaring.
Why relations with Russia are taut and strained
Hope is hard to see in current U.S.-Russia relations. Talk abounds of a second Cold War. The phrase, however, misunderstands history. The way forward with Russia is complex, but worth the effort. Peace may emerge from shades of gray.

Federal Election Commission (FEC) records indicate that the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign illegally laundered $84 million. Yet mainstream media took no notice.

How Afghanistan can take the road not taken in Vietnam

Holding the mullahs accountable for crimes against humanity

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Value-free DNC
The Democratic National Committee has offered its "deep and sincere apology" to Sen. Bernie Sanders ("DNC -- but not Wasserman Schultz -- offers 'sincere apology' to Sanders over leaked emails."

BEN CARSON: Obama's housing rules try to accomplish what busing could not
Remember busing, that brilliant social experiment that was to usher in a new era of racial utopia in America? Undaunted by the failed socialist experiments of the 1980s, the Obama administration has recently implemented a new Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) rule designed to "desegregate" housing by withholding funds from communities that fail to demonstrate their projects "affirmatively further" fair housing.

As we stand about 20 months out from Election Day 2016, I have much to learn in terms of becoming both a better candidate and a better potential president of the United States. I do not take the opportunity lightly.
BEN CARSON: Honoring Phyllis Schlafly, lifelong conservative
Recently, I was temporarily placed on the Southern Poverty Law Center's watch list for extremism simply because I vocally support traditional marriage.

Fortunately, the group saw the folly of its ways and apologized, removing me from the list.
