It happens: A prized Christmas gift, buried under a mountain of torn wrapping paper, gets thrown away by mistake. Impeachment is like that. It's both the most momentous story of the just-concluded year and, owing to the bustle of the holidays, the most forgotten. As Americans take down the ornaments and look up the headlines they disregarded during the Yuletide season, the conscientious need to turn a wary eye toward the efforts to expel a U.S. president without the use of the ballot box.
Shares Fortune has its price. The United States is blessed among the nations, but with prosperity has come responsibility, and the Middle East has a way of exacting that obligation. Until such time that the world no longer needs the region's oil riches as the lifeblood of progress, the red, white and blue must remain visible from every angle. Always-angry Iran may gnash its teeth and live-and-let-live Americans may cringe, but there really is no alternative.

Shares The beginning of a new year is a time to take stock in ourselves, to revise our goals and plans for the future, and to hope against hope the coming year will be better than the last.
Shares The '20s are back, having come full circle to a new century. These will not be your great-grandfather's Roaring '20s. The third decade of the 21st century has launched with the same brash spirit as that latter-day era, but is raised to the next exponential power by the frenetic pace of human progress. If the promise of the fresh decade is to avoid the crash that befell that tumultuous period a hundred years ago, Americans will need to reinforce their soaring aspiration with heightened appreciation of prudence.

Shares For a century and a half, America has been California dreaming. The Golden State is a uniquely blessed state in many ways: A stunning geography, temperate weather, oil. and not to mention the original economic engine that powered the '49ers, gold, are among its sterling assets.
Shares The progressive parrots 'group think' about all manner of folderol that their adherents, on bended knee and genuflecting vigorously, confirm as received wisdom ("New Yorker editor David Remnick: 'It's a source of great frustration' people still support Trum," Web, Dec. 23). That President Trump disrupts their cocoon with rude tweets and tantrums as he goes about resurrecting our economy and Department of Defense upsets the cozy relations they enjoy with a tangled web of elite academics and other liberal thinkers who sway to the same mainstream tunes while sipping chilled Chardonnay.
Shares Hell hath no fury like a RINO Republican strategist scorned.
Shares Americans have a natural-born yearning for hearth and home where families can grow in peace and prosperity. A certain collection of their would-be leaders prefer to build castles in the air. "Progressives" grabbing for the reins of power in Washington are ignoring warning signs flashing elsewhere from outbreaks of indignant citizens watching officialdom separate them from their hard-earned money and their hopes for a better future.
Shares How good is the U.S. economy? So good that even CNN, the monomanically anti-Trump television network, was forced to admit it last week.
Shares The contrast couldn't be more stark: The crashing crescendo of political conflict culminating in the jarring impeachment of President Trump just as Americans begin to tie up the loose ends of the waning year and harken to the calming strains of "Silent Night."
