Pence Goes from Hero to Villian
The same man hailed only a few weeks ago as an American Cincinnatus is today back to being just another Trump toady. The trigger was an op-ed last week for the Daily Signal website in which Mr. Pence called election integrity a “national imperative.”
The Perpetual Covid Crisis
President Biden’s announcement this week that the U.S. should have enough vaccines to inoculate every adult American by the end of May brought hope of a return to normalcy. This apparently is prehistoric thinking…The lockdown lobby persists despite the vaccine rollout.
Trump’s Appeal Rings Hollow at CPAC
Karl Rove: Why the muted enthusiasm from a crowd of Mr. Trump’s most fervent fans? The explanation may be in what the ex-president said and didn’t say in his 15-minute definition of Trumpism. There was no forward-looking agenda, simply a recitation of his greatest hits. People like fresh material. Repetition is useful to a point, but it grows stale.
China’s Reckless Labs Put the World at Risk

Rush Limbaugh Popularized Conservative Ideas and Policies

Blacklists Are the Rage in Publishing
Thomas Spence: Readiness to silence someone is often called the “cancel culture,” but I prefer an older term—blacklisting—whose historical associations expose the ugliness of what is going on. Not so long ago, book publishing professionals would have been horrified to be accused of it. Today they compete to see who can proclaim his blacklist with the fiercest invective.
