Everyone who already thought the case for President Trump’s impeachment was a slam-dunk went berserk Thursday, claiming that acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney had just admitted to a quid pro quo with Ukraine.

The now-released transcript of President Trump’s July phone call with Ukraine’s prez, Volodymyr Zelensky, shows just why Americans have so little faith in the news media.

Justin Trudeau Stands Exposed as Phony Like the “Cancel Culture” Left
We can’t let “cancel culture” overtake all — shaming people for past actions to the point that they get kicked off social media or, worse, lose their jobs. The greater sin is that many liberals use such tactics to get rid of those they don’t like, while fellow travelers get let off the hook.

Trump Better Hope Voters Don’t Tire of All the Drama
Rich Lowry: Obviously, the fundamentals will be most determinative of Trump’s fate in 2020. Is the economy still growing? Are we at peace? How does the trade war with China stand?

Liz Warren Says She’s Sorry — But for What Exactly?
Was she apologizing for claiming to be Native American in the first place? That she spent years appropriating the identity of a minority group to advance her career?

Trump Is Primed to Rise Above the Stale Gun Debate
