I am assembling a running catalog on names being considered, and my company will evaluate each finalist in terms of what Donald Trump said he was going to do for Americans. I do not want to get into specific names here, but rather kick off this lengthy task by saying that my initial impressions are […]

Trump Era: No Middle Ground?
The Wednesday yoga class I attended after the election was a group think exercise of weeping and gnashing of teeth. The outcome of the presidential election was exactly as Peggy Noonan described—enraged mourning. The enlightened Zen-like qualities of yoga—at peace with most things, a sense of natural serenity—were swamped by venomous spilling of well-worn liberal […]
Republican Hardliner Nicolas Sarkozy Resonating
French voters come out Sunday to select a presidential candidate on the Republican side. The media is putting the spin on Muslim assimilator Alain Juppe.

It’s a fitting narrative, because what has been happening in Greece could certainly happen here. Back in 2012 during the riots in Greece, Reince Priebus […]
Many of Obama’s Rule by Decree Cases Will Go Away
The Cato Institute’s Ilya Shapiro brings some welcome news to conservative Americans. Although the vacancy left on the Supreme Court by Justice Antonin Scalia’s passing—and judicial nominations more broadly—didn’t play as big a role in the campaign as leaked videos and emails, this issue is now at the forefront of the new administration’s transition plan.

The Black Community in Harlem Not Angry or Despondent
After the presidential election results, Jason L. Riley took a walk around the ‘hoods of Harlem to ask several dozen black residents their thoughts on the election and ensuing protests. “I didn’t come across any Trump voters—or at least any who admitted it—but many told me they had expected Hillary Clinton ’s defeat.
