The notion that Mr. Trump could stop a peaceful transition of power is preposterous. On Jan. 20 his term legally ends. If Congress hasn’t certified an Electoral College winner on that date—or settled a tie— Nancy Pelosi will be President if she is still House Speaker. GOP House and Senate leaders have already repudiated Mr. Trump’s remarks.

Bill Barr’s Prosecutorial Warning
The left distorts his important speech on political accountability.
Biden of the Climate Apocalypse
He gave a speech on wildfires and never mentioned better forest management. Yesterday, he failed to discuss the need to clear dry and diseased fallen trees defies what has gradually been recognized as a necessity even on the environmental left.
The Case for Justice Ted Cruz
The Supreme Court could use judges that can withstand political pressure.
Woodward’s Non-Revelation
Mr. Trump now says he was trying to keep people from panicking. And given his preoccupation with marketing, we believe him.
To Combat Covid, Don’t Turn the Clock Back
One important solution to isolation is socializing outdoors. But the earlier sunsets that herald winter’s approach, exacerbated by returning to standard time, will make that less viable. This year, we should remain on daylight-saving time through the winter.

We’ll Protect America’s Suburbs
Donald Trump and Ben Carson: We reversed an Obama-Biden regulation that would have empowered the Department of Housing and Urban Development to abolish single-family zoning, compel the construction of high-density “stack and pack” apartment buildings in residential neighborhoods, and forcibly transform neighborhoods across America so they look and feel the way far-left ideologues and technocratic bureaucrats think they should.
Echoes of 1984 in Biden’s VP Choice
A ticket with a Catholic woman from Queens lost Catholics and woman—and almost lost Queens.
Untangling the Media Myths of Covid-19
Gerald Baker: Has there been in recent history a more tendentious, hysterical, data-denying and frankly disreputable exercise in misdirection than the way in which much of America’s media has covered the Covid-19 epidemic?
Trump Wins in Portland
With his interventions the president is telling city residents that there’s nothing inevitable about the rising shootings and mayhem that plague their communities. They are the result of the choice made by too many public officials to wink at chaos.
The Lockdown Destruction
The lockdown-as-miracle-cure is a fantasy, as the World Health Organization has now acknowledged. The economic and public-health harm is too great and the virus is too easily transmissible. The public is smarter than the media and can adjust its behavior when flare-ups occur.
Coronavirus May Give Trump an Edge
His voters are more enthusiastic than Biden’s, and may be less fearful of going to the polls.
“Why I’ll Be on the Georgetown Campus This Fall”
Prof. John Hasnas: People who are often the age of my students have kept grocery stores open for me, cooked and delivered food to my home, worked in warehouses, loaded and driven trucks to deliver packages to me…and worked in hospitals so that I can get treatment if I get sick. I would feel ungenerous if I were unwilling to run some risk of infection myself to provide my services to them.
Is Harvard Really Too Dangerous for Classes?
Lockdown mania continues on campus.
Trump at Mount Rushmore

The Problem with Police Unions
Collective bargaining protects too many bad cops from discipline.
Cancel Culture Journalism
The purge of senior editors at progressive newspapers this weekend is no cause for cheering. Their resignations are another milestone in the march of identity politics and cancel culture through our liberal institutions, and American journalism and democracy will be worse for it.
Liberal Cities, Radical Mayhem
Democratic mayors and governors seem unable to stop the destruction of their own cities.
