Trump Has an Opening on Immigration
If he can make it clear that he wants to deal with migrants at the border decently but firmly and that his opposition favors rules effectively mandating catch-and-release, he’ll be in the stronger political position, again.

Trump Has Strengthened US Democracy
Conrad Black: The country was in stasis after 20 years of chronic misgovernment: debt-ridden, economically flat-lined on a per capita basis, ineffectual in the world after a horrible economic debacle, the generation of chaos in the Middle East, and an immense humanitarian refugee crisis, all thanks chiefly to legislative and executive blunders in Washington by both parties.
The Left’s Cynicism Overshadows Its Environmentalism
Demanding that the president cut gas prices so families can use more fossil fuels demonstrates how cynically the Left uses environmental policy. The explicit goal of carbon taxes and cap-and-trade systems is to increase the price of gasoline, home heating, and electricity, providing an incentive for consumers to use less.
It’s Time for the US to Create a Space Force
Space is quickly transitioning from a benign environment in which actors operate peacefully “for all mankind” to a militarized domain which will play host to the international great-power competition.

Gina Haspel’s Record Should Be an Asset, Not a Roadblock, to Her Appointment
Gina Haspel’s long career at the agency, including extensive work undercover in the field, is getting blotted out by her reported involvement in the CIA’s black-site interrogation program, which has become a warrant to say anything about her.
Southern Poverty Law Center’s Bias Makes “Hate Group” Labels Scam
The purported fact-finding group is in fact a machine for turning leftist hysteria into cash.
The Child-Soldiers of the Gun Control War
Quite a few advocates of gun control, including many who claim the mantle of “objective” journalism, have taken the view that these kids cannot be criticized. Apparently, it’s fine to push kids suffering from post-traumatic stress…in front of cameras in order to drive public policy, but it’s an affront to decency to disagree with what they say or question the practice of using victims this way.
Why the Media Is Fawning Over North Korea
Ben Shapiro: The most obvious explanation is hatred for the Trump administration. North Korea is being celebrated as a charter member of the international #Resistance — a regime unwilling to sit down for Trump’s militaristic bluster.
Why the Cult of Trump Has Taken Hold
Jonah Goldberg: Never before in modern American history have we had a president so transparently demanding not just loyalty but praise from his subordinates and political allies.
